馃嚠馃嚩 ARIEL – IRAQ’S 2027 BUDGET: A POSSIBLE 3.5-TO-1 EXCHANGE RATE? 馃毃
Ariel believes Iraq may be operating a “shadow ledger” alongside its publicly released budget figures, where the potential exchange rate is being calculated and adjusted.
According to his claims, the 2027 budget draft, expected to be submitted to Parliament on November 15, has reportedly undergone four confidential revisions in the past 10 days.
He suggests these closed-door discussions involved Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s financial team, the Financial Committee, the CBI Governor, and a U.S. Treasury Office of Technical Assistance contact in Baghdad’s Green Zone.
Ariel believes the financial figures and performance metrics may have been adjusted to produce a potential 3.5-to-1 exchange-rate peg, which he claims could be supported by Iraq’s gold reserves without triggering a bank run.
馃搶 Key points:
A possible parallel financial ledger.
Four reported revisions to the 2027 budget draft.
Alleged involvement of the CBI, Financial Committee, and U.S. Treasury technical assistance.
A potential 3.5-to-1 exchange-rate calculation.
November 15 as the reported budget submission date.
⚠️ Important: These are Ariel’s claims and speculation. There is no official confirmation of a shadow ledger, a 3.5-to-1 peg, or an upcoming exchange-rate adjustment.
馃嚠馃嚩 ARIEL – PRESUPUESTO DE IRAK 2027: ¿UN POSIBLE TIPO DE CAMBIO DE 3.5 POR 1? 馃毃
Ariel cree que Irak podr铆a estar trabajando con un “registro financiero paralelo” (Shadow Ledger) junto con las cifras presupuestarias publicadas oficialmente. Seg煤n su teor铆a, ser铆a en ese registro donde se estar铆a calculando y ajustando el posible tipo de cambio.
Seg煤n sus afirmaciones, el borrador del presupuesto de 2027, que se espera sea presentado al Parlamento el 15 de noviembre, habr铆a pasado por cuatro revisiones confidenciales durante los 煤ltimos 10 d铆as.
Ariel sugiere que estas reuniones a puerta cerrada habr铆an involucrado al equipo financiero del primer ministro Al-Zaidi, al Comit茅 Financiero, al gobernador del Banco Central de Irak (CBI) y a un contacto de la Oficina de Asistencia T茅cnica del Departamento del Tesoro de Estados Unidos, en la Zona Verde de Bagdad.
Ariel considera que las cifras financieras y los indicadores de rendimiento podr铆an haberse ajustado para establecer una posible paridad cambiaria de 3.5 por 1, que, seg煤n 茅l, estar铆a respaldada por las reservas de oro de Irak y permitir铆a evitar una corrida bancaria.
馃搶 Puntos clave:
Posible existencia de un registro financiero paralelo al presupuesto oficial.
Cuatro revisiones reportadas del borrador presupuestario de 2027.
Presunta participaci贸n del CBI, el Comit茅 Financiero y asistencia t茅cnica del Tesoro estadounidense.
Posible c谩lculo de un tipo de cambio de 3.5 por 1.
El 15 de noviembre como fecha prevista para presentar el presupuesto al Parlamento.
⚠️ IMPORTANTE: Estas son afirmaciones y especulaciones de Ariel. No existe confirmaci贸n oficial sobre la existencia de un registro paralelo, una paridad de 3.5 por 1 o un pr贸ximo cambio en el tipo de cambio del dinar iraqu铆.
馃搳 A major economic issue is once again making headlines in Iraq!
According to Central Bank of Iraq figures, approximately 100.183 TRILLION IRAQI DINARS were circulating outside the banking system at the end of August 2026.
Here are the numbers:
馃挼 Total currency issued: 107.998 trillion IQD
馃彟 Currency held inside banks: 7.815 trillion IQD
馃挵 Currency outside the banking system: 100.183 trillion IQD
馃搱 Approximately 92.8% of all issued currency remains outside the banking system!
Even more interesting, the amount outside banks increased by 7.623 trillion dinars compared with the end of 2025.
馃攷 WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Iraq needs a stronger banking system, greater public confidence in financial institutions, and more cash flowing through the formal economy.
Bringing these funds back into the banking system could help:
Improve banking liquidity.
Expand lending and investment.
Strengthen financial transparency.
Support electronic payments and banking modernization.
Facilitate broader economic and monetary reforms.
⏳ COULD CURRENCY REFORM PLAY A ROLE?
The proposed removal of the zeros from the Iraqi dinar has once again become an important topic of discussion.
A currency redenomination could be part of a broader effort to modernize Iraq's monetary system and encourage cash currently held outside banks to enter the formal financial system.
However, no confirmed implementation date has been announced by the Central Bank.
馃嚠馃嚩 THE BIG QUESTION:
How will Iraq convince citizens to bring more than 100 trillion dinars back into its banking system?
Could the coming monetary reforms provide the incentive needed to make this happen?
馃憖 Keep watching. Iraq's banking liquidity, monetary reforms, and economic transformation are all interconnected!
馃檹 We continue waiting for official developments, not rumors or promises.
100 TRILLION DINARS OUTSIDE IRAQI BANKS… WHAT DO THE CENTRAL BANK’S FIGURES REVEAL?
Data from the Central Bank of Iraq showed that the volume of currency circulating outside the banking system rose to about 100.183 trillion dinars at the end of August 2026, despite recording a decrease compared to the previous month.
The total currency issued amounted to 107.998 trillion dinars, while the currency held by banks amounted to 7.815 trillion dinars, with funds circulating outside the banking system constituting about 92.8% of the total currency issued.
On an annual basis, currency outside banks increased from 92.560 trillion dinars at the end of 2025 to 100.183 trillion dinars in August 2026, an increase of 7.623 trillion dinars. These figures reflect the continued reliance of the Iraqi economy on direct cash transactions, in contrast to the limited funds held within the banking system, despite the monthly decline recorded in August.
馃毃馃嚠馃嚩馃挼LEAH HARRISON’S DREAM ABOUT THE IRAQI DINAR RV: A WARNING ABOUT REDEMPTION CENTER CALLS, PROTECTION & WHAT MAY COME NEXT! 馃尭馃摓
Leah Harrison shares a detailed dream that she believes is connected to a future Iraqi dinar revaluation (RV). She says the dream occurred during the night of March 4 or the morning of March 5, 2026, and believes it contains spiritual instructions for those anticipating a potential wealth transfer.
✈️1. THE AIRPLANE & THE SOS PHONE CALL
In her dream, Leah was sitting by the window on an airplane when she noticed her phone in SOS mode, attempting to call her sister Christine. She connects Christine’s name with the meaning of being a follower of Christ and interprets her sister as representing the broader Body of Christ.
The unusual phone connection appeared to work even while the plane was in the air. Leah interpreted this as a possible symbol of interrupted or unusual communications.
馃摓2. THE SPAM CALL & THE FOREIGN COMPANY
Leah then noticed a missed call identified by her phone as spam. When she opened the call information, she saw a company logo with a black background, fiery red and orange lettering, and a name that appeared to contain a three-letter acronym followed by the word “Enterprise.”
The logo reminded her of Arabian Nights and Aladdin. After researching the symbolism, she connected:
Aladdin and Arabian folklore.
The Silk Road, which she associated with Iraq.
The red and black colors of the Iraqi flag, along with gold or orange tones.
She interpreted these clues as pointing toward Iraq and the Iraqi dinar.
馃尭3. THE WHOLESALE NURSERY & THE MUM FLOWERS
The dream then shifted to a wholesale nursery where only chrysanthemum flowers (mums) were growing. The nursery was not open to the public. The flowers were still growing in the ground and had not yet blossomed or reached the stage of being harvested and sent to retail stores.
Some flowers were grouped closely together and covered with heavier protective netting because they were younger and less mature. More mature flowers had lighter netting to preserve their shape.
Leah also noticed one individual flower standing apart, appearing more mature and illuminated by sunlight.
She interpreted this scene as a picture of preparation, protection, spiritual growth, and a process that had not yet reached the marketplace.
馃か4. “MUM’S THE WORD” — KEEP QUIET AND USE DISCERNMENT
One of the strongest messages Leah took from the dream was the expression “Mum’s the word,” meaning to keep quiet.
She believes people involved in a potential future RV or wealth transfer should exercise discretion, avoid boasting, protect their privacy, and refrain from attracting unnecessary attention.
She also sees the flowers growing in clusters as a symbol of the importance of community, fellowship, prayer, and supporting one another.
⚠️5. HER WARNING ABOUT REDEMPTION CENTER PHONE CALLS
This is one of the most important parts of Leah’s interpretation.
She believes the dream is warning people not to automatically trust phone calls that may claim to come from redemption centers after a possible Iraqi dinar RV.
Her interpretation is that suspicious or fraudulent calls could appear as spam, and people should be alert to bogus companies or unfamiliar callers.
She specifically clarifies that she does NOT believe the dream necessarily means legitimate redemption centers themselves will be flagged as spam. Rather, she believes the warning concerns fraudulent calls pretending to be connected to the process.
馃摗6. POSSIBLE COMMUNICATION INTERRUPTIONS
Leah also wonders whether the SOS phone symbol could represent communication interruptions or an emergency situation.
She briefly mentions speculation surrounding the Quantum Financial System (QFS) and a possible Emergency Broadcast System, but acknowledges that this is a more speculative interpretation and says she does not yet know exactly what it means.
馃尡7. PREPARATION FOR A FUTURE WEALTH TRANSFER
Leah believes the wholesale nursery represents something being developed and protected before it is ready to reach the marketplace.
She compares the growing flowers to new ideas, ministries, projects, gifts, and assignments that may need time to mature before producing results.
Her central message is that any future prosperity should not be used simply to accumulate wealth or show off. Instead, it should become a way to bless others, support meaningful projects, build ministries, and create a positive impact.
馃檹HER FINAL MESSAGE
Leah encourages people to seek wisdom, pray for discernment, remain spiritually grounded, stay connected to their community, and be responsible stewards of any resources they may receive.
She does not give a specific exchange rate or a date for the Iraqi dinar RV. Her message is based on her personal dream and spiritual interpretation, not an official announcement or confirmation from the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) or Iraqi banking authorities.
馃攷The central themes of her dream: caution, discretion, protection, preparation, community, and responsible stewardship.
馃毃馃嚠馃嚩馃挼EL SUE脩O DE LEAH HARRISON SOBRE EL RV DEL DINAR IRAQU脥: ADVERTENCIA SOBRE LLAMADAS DE LOS CENTROS DE REDENCI脫N, PROTECCI脫N Y LO QUE PODR脥A VENIR! 馃尭馃摓
Leah Harrison comparte un sue帽o detallado que, seg煤n su interpretaci贸n, est谩 relacionado con una futura revaluaci贸n (RV) del dinar iraqu铆. Dice que tuvo el sue帽o durante la noche del 4 de marzo o la ma帽ana del 5 de marzo de 2026 y cree que contiene instrucciones espirituales para quienes esperan una posible transferencia de riqueza.
✈️1. EL AVI脫N Y LA LLAMADA TELEF脫NICA EN MODO SOS
En su sue帽o, Leah estaba sentada junto a la ventana de un avi贸n cuando observ贸 que su tel茅fono estaba en modo SOS e intentaba llamar a su hermana Christine.
Leah relaciona el nombre Christine con el significado de seguidora de Cristo y considera que su hermana representa al conjunto de los hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, es decir, el Cuerpo de Cristo.
Lo extra帽o era que el tel茅fono parec铆a intentar establecer una conexi贸n e incluso logr贸 comunicarse brevemente mientras el avi贸n estaba en el aire. Leah interpreta este detalle como un posible s铆mbolo de comunicaciones inusuales o interrumpidas.
馃摓2. LA LLAMADA MARCADA COMO SPAM Y LA EMPRESA EXTRANJERA
Posteriormente, Leah observ贸 una llamada perdida que su tel茅fono hab铆a identificado como spam.
Al revisar los detalles, vio el logotipo de una empresa con fondo negro, letras rojas y anaranjadas de apariencia intensa, y un nombre que aparentemente conten铆a un acr贸nimo de tres letras seguido de la palabra “Enterprise”.
El dise帽o le record贸 a Las mil y una noches y a Aladdin. Al investigar esas referencias, encontr贸 conexiones que relacion贸 con Iraq:
Aladdin y el folclore 谩rabe.
La Ruta de la Seda, que asoci贸 con Iraq.
Los colores rojo y negro de la bandera iraqu铆, junto con tonos dorados y anaranjados.
Para Leah, estas coincidencias simb贸licas apuntaban hacia Iraq y el dinar iraqu铆.
馃尭3. EL VIVERO MAYORISTA Y LAS FLORES CRISANTEMOS
El sue帽o cambi贸 repentinamente a un vivero mayorista donde solamente cultivaban crisantemos (mums). No era un establecimiento abierto al p煤blico, sino un lugar donde las plantas crec铆an antes de ser enviadas a las tiendas para su venta.
Las flores todav铆a estaban creciendo directamente en la tierra. No hab铆an florecido ni estaban listas para ser cosechadas y trasladadas al mercado.
Algunas estaban agrupadas y cubiertas con redes protectoras m谩s gruesas porque eran j贸venes y todav铆a necesitaban mayor protecci贸n. Las flores m谩s maduras ten铆an redes m谩s ligeras, destinadas principalmente a conservar su forma.
Leah tambi茅n observ贸 una flor individual, separada de las dem谩s, que parec铆a m谩s madura y estaba iluminada por la luz del sol.
Ella interpreta esta escena como un s铆mbolo de preparaci贸n, protecci贸n, crecimiento espiritual y de un proceso que todav铆a no est谩 listo para llegar al mercado.
馃か4. “MUM’S THE WORD”: MANTENER LA DISCRECI脫N
Uno de los mensajes m谩s importantes que Leah extrajo del sue帽o fue la expresi贸n inglesa “Mum’s the word”, que significa guardar silencio o mantener algo en secreto.
Ella cree que las personas que participen en una posible futura revaluaci贸n o transferencia de riqueza deber谩n actuar con discreci贸n, evitar presumir, proteger su privacidad y no atraer atenci贸n innecesaria.
Tambi茅n interpreta las flores agrupadas como una representaci贸n de la importancia de permanecer unidos, mantener la comunidad, orar juntos y apoyarse mutuamente.
⚠️5. LA ADVERTENCIA SOBRE LAS LLAMADAS DE LOS CENTROS DE REDENCI脫N
Esta es una de las partes m谩s importantes de su interpretaci贸n.
Leah cree que el sue帽o advierte a las personas que no deben confiar autom谩ticamente en llamadas telef贸nicas que supuestamente provengan de centros de redenci贸n despu茅s de un posible RV del dinar iraqu铆.
Seg煤n su interpretaci贸n, podr铆an existir llamadas fraudulentas identificadas como spam, por lo que recomienda estar atentos a empresas desconocidas y llamadas sospechosas.
Ella aclara espec铆ficamente que NO est谩 diciendo que los centros de redenci贸n leg铆timos necesariamente aparecer谩n marcados como spam. Su advertencia se refiere a posibles llamadas falsas de compa帽铆as o personas que pretendan estar relacionadas con el proceso.
馃摗6. POSIBLES INTERRUPCIONES EN LAS COMUNICACIONES
Leah tambi茅n considera que el s铆mbolo del tel茅fono en modo SOS podr铆a representar interrupciones en las comunicaciones o alguna situaci贸n de emergencia.
Menciona brevemente las especulaciones relacionadas con el Sistema Financiero Cu谩ntico (QFS) y un posible Sistema de Transmisi贸n de Emergencias (Emergency Broadcast System).
Sin embargo, reconoce que esta interpretaci贸n pertenece a una l铆nea de especulaci贸n m谩s extrema y admite que todav铆a no sabe exactamente qu茅 podr铆a significar.
馃尡7. PREPARACI脫N PARA UNA POSIBLE TRANSFERENCIA DE RIQUEZA
Leah interpreta el vivero mayorista como una representaci贸n de algo que est谩 siendo desarrollado, protegido y preparado antes de estar listo para llegar al mercado.
Compara las flores en crecimiento con nuevas ideas, ministerios, proyectos, talentos y prop贸sitos que necesitan tiempo para madurar antes de producir resultados.
Su mensaje central es que una futura prosperidad no deber铆a utilizarse simplemente para acumular dinero o presumir de riqueza. En cambio, deber铆a convertirse en una oportunidad para bendecir a otras personas, apoyar proyectos importantes, desarrollar ministerios y generar un impacto positivo.
馃檹SU MENSAJE FINAL
Leah anima a las personas a buscar sabidur铆a, orar por discernimiento, mantenerse espiritualmente preparadas, permanecer conectadas con su comunidad y actuar responsablemente con cualquier recurso que puedan recibir.
No proporciona una tasa de cambio espec铆fica ni una fecha para el RV del dinar iraqu铆. Su mensaje se basa en su sue帽o y en su interpretaci贸n espiritual personal, no en un anuncio ni en una confirmaci贸n oficial del Banco Central de Iraq (CBI) o de las autoridades bancarias iraqu铆es.
馃攷Los temas centrales de su sue帽o son: precauci贸n, discreci贸n, protecci贸n, preparaci贸n, unidad y administraci贸n responsable de la riqueza.
馃毃馃挼 IRAQ: PARALLEL MARKET, LIQUIDITY CRISIS & THE ANTICIPATED REMOVAL OF ZEROS 馃嚠馃嚩
馃搳 Iraq’s parallel dollar market continues to be one of the country's biggest economic challenges. While the government promises to bring the parallel exchange rate closer to the official rate, questions remain about whether these measures will actually work.
馃挵 100 TRILLION DINARS OUTSIDE THE BANKING SYSTEM! This staggering figure highlights Iraq’s ongoing liquidity crisis and the need to encourage citizens to bring their cash back into the banking system.
馃彟 Meanwhile, reports indicate that approximately 5 trillion dinars in 50,000 IQD banknotes have been printed to help address liquidity needs.
馃攷 WHAT COULD BE COMING NEXT?
Potential progress toward the removal of the zeros.
Economic reforms and greater international financial integration.
Banking system modernization.
Development of industrial cities and major infrastructure projects.
New measures to reduce dependence on the parallel currency market.
⏳ With November underway and expectations building toward 2027, the next decisions by Iraq’s Central Bank and government could be extremely important.
⚠️ IMPORTANT: There is still no official confirmation of an RV (Revaluation). News reports, predictions, and speculation must be distinguished from confirmed government decisions.
馃檹 We continue watching every development closely. Information, patience, and caution remain essential!
馃嚠馃嚩馃挼 IRAQ: ARE WE MOVING CLOSER TO A NEW ECONOMIC ERA?
馃嚠馃嚩馃挼FRANK26: THE BUDGET, HCL & THE EXCHANGE RATE – WATCH THE GAP!馃毃
Frank26 highlights several important developments in Iraq's monetary reform and explains why he is paying more attention to the exchange-rate gap than to the budget delays.
馃敼THE NOVEMBER 15 BUDGET DEADLINE
Frank says the November 7 and November 10 delays are not his main concern. He is focusing on November 15, which he considers a much more important date.
馃敼KURDISTAN AND THE HCL
According to Frank, discussions between Baghdad and Kurdistan have addressed oil management, revenue sharing, employee salaries, the 2027 federal budget, and the long-awaited Hydrocarbon Law (HCL).
He points out that Kurdistan reportedly sought a 12% budget allocation but is now discussing 14.14%, based on the latest census figures.
馃敼THE HCL AND THE NEW EXCHANGE RATE
Frank strongly emphasizes that the HCL and the exchange rate are connected in his analysis. He believes that when Iraq officially communicates how much citizens will receive under the HCL, the new exchange rate will also become part of the monetary reform discussion.
馃敼THE PARALLEL-MARKET GAP IS THE KEY
One of his strongest messages is that investors should continue watching the gap between the official exchange rate and the street-market rate.
Frank argues that the budget's approval alone does not determine a rate change. In his view, narrowing this gap is the critical factor.
馃敼THE THREE ZEROS ARE A SEPARATE STEP
Frank reiterates that the budget at 1,500 IQD and the later lifting of the three zeros are two different monetary events.
馃搮DATES FRANK WANTS INVESTORS TO WATCH:
November 15, 2026
December 31, 2026
January 1, 2027
He also expresses hope that the exchange-rate gap could be addressed within the next 90 days.
馃挕
MY OBSERVATION:Frank26 is directing attention toward the relationship between the budget, Kurdistan's share, the HCL, and especially the parallel-market gap. His central argument is that Iraq's monetary reform should be evaluated through these developments rather than simply waiting for a budget announcement.
馃憖 The next question is whether Iraq can make meaningful progress in narrowing the exchange-rate gap.
Disclaimer: This post summarizes Frank26's opinions and interpretations. The dates and potential exchange-rate developments are not official CBI confirmation of an RV.
馃嚠馃嚩馃挼FRANK26: PRESUPUESTO, HCL Y TIPO DE CAMBIO – ¡ATENCI脫N A LA BRECHA!馃毃
Frank26 destaca varios acontecimientos importantes relacionados con la reforma monetaria de Irak y explica por qu茅 est谩 prestando m谩s atenci贸n a la brecha cambiaria que a los retrasos del presupuesto.
馃敼LA FECHA DEL 15 DE NOVIEMBRE
Frank se帽ala que los retrasos del 7 y 10 de noviembre no son su principal preocupaci贸n. Su atenci贸n est谩 puesta en el 15 de noviembre, fecha que considera mucho m谩s importante.
馃敼KURDIST脕N Y EL HCL
Seg煤n Frank, las conversaciones entre Bagdad y Kurdist谩n han abordado la administraci贸n del petr贸leo, la distribuci贸n de ingresos, los salarios de los empleados, el presupuesto federal de 2027 y la esperada Ley de Hidrocarburos (HCL).
Tambi茅n destaca que Kurdist谩n habr铆a solicitado inicialmente una asignaci贸n presupuestaria del 12%, pero ahora se est谩 discutiendo un 14.14%, basado en las cifras del 煤ltimo censo.
馃敼
EL HCL Y EL NUEVO TIPO DE CAMBIO
Frank enfatiza que el HCL y el tipo de cambio est谩n relacionados dentro de su an谩lisis. Considera que cuando Irak comunique oficialmente cu谩nto recibir谩n los ciudadanos bajo el HCL, el nuevo tipo de cambio tambi茅n formar谩 parte de la discusi贸n sobre la reforma monetaria.
馃敼LA BRECHA DEL MERCADO PARALELO ES LA CLAVE
Uno de sus mensajes m谩s importantes es que los inversionistas deben continuar observando la diferencia entre el tipo de cambio oficial y el mercado paralelo.
Frank sostiene que la aprobaci贸n del presupuesto por s铆 sola no determina un cambio en el tipo de cambio. Desde su perspectiva, reducir esa brecha es el factor fundamental.
馃敼LA ELIMINACI脫N DE LOS TRES CEROS ES UN PASO SEPARADO
Frank vuelve a recalcar que el presupuesto con una tasa de 1,500 IQD y la posterior eliminaci贸n de los tres ceros son dos acontecimientos monetarios diferentes.
馃搮FECHAS QUE FRANK CONSIDERA IMPORTANTES:
15 de noviembre de 2026
31 de diciembre de 2026
1 de enero de 2027
T
ambi茅n expresa su esperanza de que la brecha cambiaria pueda resolverse dentro de los pr贸ximos 90 d铆as.
馃挕MI OBSERVACI脫N:Frank26 est谩 dirigiendo la atenci贸n hacia la relaci贸n entre el presupuesto, la participaci贸n de Kurdist谩n, el HCL y, especialmente, la brecha del mercado paralelo. Su argumento central es que debemos evaluar la reforma monetaria iraqu铆 observando estos acontecimientos y no simplemente esperando un anuncio sobre el presupuesto.
馃憖 La pr贸xima pregunta es si Irak lograr谩 avances significativos en la reducci贸n de la brecha cambiaria.
Aviso: Esta publicaci贸n resume las opiniones e interpretaciones de Frank26. Las fechas y los posibles cambios cambiarios no constituyen una confirmaci贸n oficial del CBI sobre un RV.
“I STAND BY THIS STATEMENT,” THE DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER SAID: “THE DOLLAR IN THE PARALLEL MARKET WILL DECREASE AND APPROACH THE OFFICIAL RATE.”
Deputy Prime Minister Mohammed Tamim predicted on Sunday that the dollar exchange rate in the parallel market would decrease and approach the official rate, confirming that Iraq had received new cash payments based on the strength of the relationship with America.
He explained that the cash supply had increased to $3 billion in just two months, noting that the first batch arrived last Thursday, with a second batch expected at the beginning of November, amounting to more than $500 million per batch. This will supply the local market with an injection from the government and under the supervision of the Central Bank.
The Cabinet had decided on Wednesday, October 7, 2026, to amend the exchange rates of the dinar against the US dollar based on what was presented by the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, so that the final selling price of the dollar to citizens and non-bank financial institutions would be (1520) dinars per dollar.
The Central Bank directed all banks, exchange companies, and electronic payment companies to stop using the previous price and to update their banking systems, with the new prices being officially adopted, where the price of buying the dollar from the Ministry of Finance was set at (1500) dinars, and its selling price to banks at (1510) dinars.
Tamim stated in a statement followed by Noon News Agency that “the parallel exchange rate will decrease and will be very close to the official exchange rate, and I am responsible for this statement. The reason is that this government has a distinguished relationship with the United States of America, and the basis of this relationship is trust.”
He added that “in previous years the supply of dollars in cash to Iraq decreased to less than 3 billion per year, while in these two months the US government made a decision to send only 3 billion, and the first batch arrived last Thursday, and another batch will arrive on the second day of November, and each batch is worth more than 500 million dollars.”
He continued, “Therefore, I am confident that the measures that the government and the central bank will take, in addition to what will be offered in the market in dollars, will lead to a decrease in the exchange rate, and it will be close to the parallel exchange rate and very close to the official exchange rate, if it is equal to it, as is the case in some neighboring countries.”
It is worth noting that today the selling price of the dollar in exchange shops in the local markets of Baghdad was 168,750 dinars for 100 dollars, while the buying price was 167,750 dinars for 100 dollars.
