FRANK26: "1 OUT OF 3... AS WE PREDICTED"

FRANK26: "1 OUT OF 3... AS WE PREDICTED"......F26

An American institute: Washington does not object to al-Sudani remaining for a second term and believes that he gives Iraq a chance for a reasonable balance.

2/25/2026 Baghdad – One News

The American “Pro Kings Center” revealed that the Trump administration sees the rise of Maliki as a threat to its strategy in Iraq, especially with the growing concern about the influence of armed factions and their regional intersections, which makes American pressure likely to escalate if the dispute deepens.

The institute indicated in its report that Washington does not object to al-Sudani remaining for a second term, and believes that he gives Iraq an opportunity for a reasonable balance between the United States and Iran.

However, its problem is not with a specific name, but rather it is an explicit rejection of al-Maliki’s return, which seems to be an unchangeable message, no matter what assurances the latter provides.

The American center added that this scenario presents two bitter choices: either insisting on Maliki, which entails a political and economic confrontation with Washington, or sacrificing him, which carries the potential for an internal rift that could reshape the Shiite alliances map for years to come.

MNT GOAT: Iraq’s 2025 Economic RESET: IMF Signals Stability, Elections Delay Political Momentum – Are We Near Reinstatement?

In 2025, Iraq stands at a pivotal crossroads. According to commentary from Mnt Goat, we are witnessing essential components of an economic RESET that must occur prior to reinstatement. The financial reforms appear largely complete, and international oversight institutions have signaled satisfaction. However, political timing—especially the 2025 elections—has introduced a pause.

So what’s really happening behind the scenes in Iraq’s economic transformation? And how close could we be to major monetary changes?

Let’s break it down.

IMF Oversight: A Major Green Light for Iraq’s Economy

One of the strongest indicators of progress is the close monitoring by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Reports indicate that:

The IMF is satisfied with Iraq’s reform progress
The IMF has expressed approval of economic stability
Structural and monetary reforms are meeting expectations

This is significant.

The IMF does not lightly endorse economic

stability—especially in emerging or reforming markets. Approval from the IMF suggests that:

Fiscal policy adjustments are working
Inflation is under control
Banking sector reforms are advancing
Monetary reserves are stabilized

For investors and observers, this is a major foundational pillar of any potential reinstatement scenario.

Economic Stability Achieved – Political Stability Pending

While economic metrics appear solid, the 2025 elections have introduced a temporary waiting period.

In transitional economies like Iraq, political stability is just as important as economic reform. Investors and global institutions look for:

A stable governing coalition
Smooth election transitions
Clear legislative direction
Long-term reform continuity

The economic groundwork may be complete—but political timing matters.

Once election outcomes settle and leadership continuity is confirmed, momentum could accelerate rapidly.

As Mnt Goat says: “Things can change on a dime.”

Parliament Waiting on the 2025 Budget

Another critical signal is the pending federal budget.

The Iraqi Parliament is reportedly waiting for the finalized budget framework before moving forward with additional key legislation. The budget is crucial because it:

Reflects projected oil revenues
Defines spending priorities
Signals fiscal discipline
Establishes long-term financial planning

Budget approval often serves as a launchpad for broader monetary adjustments.

Without a finalized budget, major economic announcements are typically paused.

The Oil & Gas Law: A Long-Awaited Catalyst

One of the most important legislative pieces still pending is the Oil and Gas Law.

Why does this matter?

Iraq’s economy is heavily oil-dependent. The Oil & Gas Law would:

Clarify revenue-sharing between Baghdad and regions
Provide stability to international oil investors
Reduce internal political disputes
Strengthen fiscal transparency

Passage of this law would remove a long-standing structural uncertainty in Iraq’s economic system.

Parliament is expected to address it soon after the budget moves forward.

This sequence—budget first, Oil & Gas Law next—suggests a deliberate roadmap.

Are We Near a Monetary Shift?

There are reportedly “too many signs” indicating proximity to a major shift.

Key signals include:

✔ IMF satisfaction
✔ Economic stability confirmation
✔ Budget preparation
✔ Oil & Gas Law pending
✔ Election cycle nearing conclusion

When reforms, stability, legislation, and political timing align, changes can occur quickly.

Financial transitions often appear quiet—until they aren’t.

Featured Snippet Section

What Must Happen Before Iraq’s Currency Reinstatement?

Before reinstatement, Iraq must demonstrate:

Sustained economic stability
IMF approval and monitoring compliance
A finalized national budget
Political stability following elections
Resolution of oil revenue legislation

Current indicators suggest economic requirements are largely satisfied, while political stability is still aligning.

Q&A Section

Q: Is the IMF satisfied with Iraq’s economic reforms?

Yes. Reports indicate that the IMF has expressed satisfaction with Iraq’s reform progress and economic stability metrics.

Q: Why are the 2025 elections important?

Political stability ensures continuity of reforms. Investors and international institutions wait for confirmed leadership before major monetary shifts occur.

Q: What role does the budget play?

The budget establishes fiscal discipline and signals financial readiness. Major economic announcements often follow budget finalization.

Q: Why is the Oil & Gas Law significant?

It stabilizes revenue-sharing and reduces internal disputes, strengthening investor confidence and economic transparency.

Q: Can things change quickly?

Yes. When political and economic stability align, shifts can happen rapidly.

Strategic Outlook for 2025

The pattern unfolding in Iraq suggests sequencing:

Economic reform completion
IMF approval
Election stabilization
Budget finalization
Oil & Gas Law resolution
Potential monetary adjustment

The waiting period may feel long—but in geopolitical timing, alignment matters more than speed.

“Wait and watch” may be the most accurate strategy right now.

Conclusion

Iraq’s economic RESET appears well underway. The IMF has signaled satisfaction with reform success and stability. The remaining piece is political alignment following the 2025 elections.

With Parliament preparing to move on the budget and Oil & Gas Law, the coming months could prove decisive.

There are indeed many signs suggesting we are very near.

Now we watch.

Mnt Goat ...in Iraq we are witnessing parts of the RESET that must take place prior to the reinstatement. We know the IMF is closely monitoring the economy and have told us they are satisfied in all the reform success. They have told us they are satisfied with the STABILITY of the economy. But along came the 2025 elections and so now we wait for the political STABILITY to catch up.

I assure you things can change on a dime. Wait and watch! There are already too many signs we are very near. Parliament is waiting for the budget and will soon address the Oil and Gas Law.

DINAR REVALUATION UPDATE: Bank Exchanges, ZIM Bond Appointments & Redemption Center News #iqd

CASH HOARDED IN HOME SAFES AND LOST TRUST IN BANK VAULTS

At the heart of the banking confidence crisis that is hindering the spread of electronic payments in Iraq, the majority of economic transactions are still conducted in cash, while savings remain completely outside the formal banking system.

However, the average Iraqi citizen manages his daily life entirely by relying on paper money, as he withdraws his salaries in cash, pays for his purchases in cash, and keeps his savings at home away from banks.

Meanwhile, electronic payment cards have become a routine part of daily life in neighboring countries, revealing that Iraq is about twenty years behind in adopting the simplest modern financing tools.

This delay reflects “weak confidence in banks,” as observers describe it, since the huge amount of cash is hoarded inside homes and exceeds 90 trillion dinars, or about 90 percent of the total cash in circulation, according to the latest data from the Central Bank.

In addition, statistics indicate that less than 20 percent of the population has bank accounts, compared to more than 50 percent in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where digital payments have been commonplace for years.

A Baghdad resident said via Facebook, “I prefer to keep my money at home for fear of any potential banking crisis, as past experiences do not encourage trust.” A local economic activist stated, “The sector needs radical reforms to build trust, especially with the push to end cash payments in government institutions by July 2026.” A banking source noted that “electronic transactions grew by 17.7 percent in the first quarter of 2025, but reliance on cash still prevails despite the launch of platforms such as ePassole in the Kurdistan Region.”

Despite these government efforts, the biggest challenge remains convincing citizens of the security of the digital system amid fears of losing or freezing deposits.

ARIEL: 🚨 IQD “Under the Radar” Claims: 1,310 to 1–3 IQD/USD? Gold-Backed Reset & Domestic Shock Scenario Explained

What’s “Under the Radar” in Iraq? Analyzing the 1–3 IQD/USD Revaluation Claim

A circulating post attributed to “Ariel” outlines a dramatic scenario:

Exchange rate reset from ~1,310 IQD/USD to 1–3 IQD per USD
Backed by 145+ tons of gold reserves
Supported by oil priced at $80–90 per barrel
Massive domestic liquidity surge
Banking system stress
Political shake-up targeting Iranian influence

These are extraordinary claims. Let’s examine them through economic logic and central banking mechanics.

The official authority responsible for Iraq’s exchange rate is the Central Bank of Iraq.

💱 Claim: Reset from 1,310 IQD/USD to 1–3 IQD/USD

This would represent a revaluation of approximately:

400× to 1,300× increase in value

For comparison:

Modern currency revaluations rarely exceed single-digit percentage adjustments.
A 400× overnight appreciation would be historically unprecedented in contemporary monetary systems.

Such a shift would:

Instantly multiply the purchasing power of every dinar holder
Collapse Iraq’s export competitiveness
Disrupt trade contracts
Trigger global forex volatility

No central bank has executed a move of this magnitude in modern floating or managed currency regimes.

🪙 Gold Backing: 145+ Tons Argument

Iraq does hold gold reserves. However:

Gold reserves function as:

Balance sheet stabilizers
Confidence anchors
Collateral buffers

They do not directly determine a fixed exchange rate in a modern managed currency system.

To back a 400× rate increase, Iraq would need:

Monetary base contraction
Massive redenomination
Structured capital controls
External trade recalibration

Gold alone cannot sustain that scale of currency appreciation without deep structural redesign.

🛢 Oil Revenue as Exchange Rate Support?

Oil priced at $80–90 per barrel certainly strengthens Iraq’s fiscal position. However:

Oil revenue:

Supports budget spending
Builds foreign reserves
Improves balance of payments

It does not automatically justify parity with the U.S. dollar.

Even major oil exporters like:

Saudi Arabia
Norway

Maintain carefully managed currency structures rather than hyper-revaluation events.

🏦 “Hyper-Liquidity Surge” Scenario

The claim suggests:

Purchasing power multiplies 400–1,300× overnight.

If this occurred:

Imports would become ultra-cheap
Domestic production would collapse
Inflation would likely spike due to demand shock
Government price controls would become necessary

Paradoxically, such a dramatic gain in currency value could destabilize internal markets rather than strengthen them.

💳 Banking System Overload & ATM Dry-Up?

A sudden 400× rate shift would create:

Immediate deposit revaluation issues
Contract renegotiations
Foreign debt repricing
Settlement confusion

Modern central banks avoid this by:

Gradual appreciation
Managed float adjustments
Controlled redenomination
Phased currency restructuring

There is currently no official confirmation that the CBI is launching a blockchain monetary layer tied to such an event.

📈 Inflation Spike Then Stabilization?

In reality, a sharp currency appreciation typically reduces import inflation. However:

If purchasing power multiplies instantly:

Consumer demand spikes
Asset bubbles form
Real estate surges
Speculative behavior accelerates

Stability would require extreme monetary discipline.

🏛 Political “Earthquake” & Proxy Removal

The post suggests political consequences involving:

Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani
Removal of Iranian-linked proxies

While political reform and financial reform can intersect, exchange rate policy remains under the Central Bank of Iraq, not political factions directly.

Monetary policy decisions are technical and macroeconomic — not symbolic resets.

🔎 Featured Snippets

Could Iraq revalue from 1,310 IQD to 1–3 IQD per USD?

Such a 400× revaluation would be unprecedented in modern monetary history and would require massive structural reform.

Does gold backing guarantee a currency reset?

No. Gold reserves support balance sheet strength but do not automatically determine exchange rate value.

Would citizens become instantly wealthy after a 400× revaluation?

In theory, local purchasing power would rise dramatically, but severe economic distortions would likely follow.

Can a central bank raise a currency 1,000× overnight?

No modern central bank has executed an appreciation of that magnitude in a managed global system.

📊 Economic Reality Check

For Iraq to move from 1,310 to 1–3 IQD/USD, it would need:

Full redenomination (removing zeros)
Controlled monetary base contraction
Coordinated global banking transition
IMF-aligned structural reform
Formal international notification

Such a transformation would not occur covertly or “under the radar.”

❓ Q&A Section

Q: Is there official confirmation of a 1–3 IQD/USD rate?

No official statement from the Central Bank of Iraq confirms this.

Q: Does Iraq have significant gold reserves?

Yes, but gold reserves alone cannot justify a 400× exchange rate shift.

Q: Would inflation explode after such a revaluation?

Likely yes — due to sudden demand shock and asset speculation.

Q: Can oil revenue alone support dollar parity?

No. Exchange rate structures depend on monetary supply, reserves, trade balances, and macro policy — not just oil pricing.

📌 Final Perspective

Extraordinary financial transformations require:

Transparent policy communication
Coordinated international banking alignment
Legal frameworks
Monetary restructuring

A sudden 400× currency reset backed solely by gold and oil would contradict modern central banking practice.

Until official statements are issued by the Central Bank of Iraq, such projections remain speculative.

ARIEL:

What is Going on Under the Radar (IQD-Update)

So I have something that was sent to me regarding some covert operations involving the C***l and possible contingencies they have in place for an Iran strike. This is from someone who apparently 1st posted this on Discord.

The IQD Revaluation Economic Effects

Immediate Domestic Effects Inside Iraq (First 30–90 Days)

Exchange rate resets from ~1,310 IQD/USD to a targeted range of 1–3 IQD/USD (pre-1991 parity zone), backed by 145+ tons of gold reserves + proven oil at $80–90/barrel.

Hyper-liquidity surge: domestic purchasing power multiplies 400–1,300× overnight for citizens holding physical dinar or CBI accounts. Consumer spending explodes cars, real estate, imported goods flood in.

Banking system overload: ATMs dry up in days, physical cash shortages force emergency printing of new lower-denomination notes while digital platforms (CBI’s new blockchain layer) come online.

Inflation spike then stabilization: prices for food, fuel, housing double–triple in first month before CBI rate controls and gold backing cap runaway effects.

Wealth redistribution: middle-class and returning diaspora become instant millionaires in local terms; old Ba’athist and militia-linked families who hoarded dollars lose relative power.

Political earthquake: PM al-Sudani’s government faces immediate pressure to purge Iranian proxies from ministries as public demands accountability for past theft.
