Iraq Dinar Update, Liquidity Crisis, Clarity Act, and the Road Ahead: Jon Dowling
8-1-2026
The global financial landscape is experiencing a profound period of transformation. From liquidity challenges in foreign economies to sweeping regulatory changes surrounding digital assets in the United States, multiple economic indicators point toward a broader structural shift.
Recent reporting by market analyst Jon Dowling highlights how international monetary pressures, asset tokenization, and geopolitical developments are converging to create a new paradigm for global finance and community stewardship.
Below is an in-depth analysis of these major developments, exploring how domestic policy shifts, international monetary revaluations, and modern financial technologies are reshaping the global economic outlook.
At the center of Middle Eastern economic discussions is Iraq’s ongoing fiscal challenge. Reports indicate that Iraq is confronting a substantial 70% liquidity crisis, creating intense pressure on its government to enact long-overdue economic and political reforms.
To address these structural deficiencies, leadership is under increasing obligation to finalize key legislative frameworks, including the Hydrocarbon Law (HCL gas law) and Article 140.
Many financial observers believe these legislative steps are crucial prerequisites for stabilizing the nation’s financial system and potential discussions surrounding the long-term revaluation of the Iraqi dinar.
Signs of fiscal stress are already visible in daily banking operations. Iraqi state banks have taken the unusual step of adjusting protocol to remain open through weekends to clear public salary payments. While this reflects acute operational strain within the banking sector, it also highlights dedicated governmental efforts to stabilize income flows to citizens, curb systemic corruption, and facilitate a fairer distribution of national resource revenue.
While foreign economies work through fiat liquidity challenges, the United States is rapidly progressing toward digital asset regulation. The proposed Clarity Act is gaining noticeable bipartisan traction, attracting support from major institutional powerhouses such as BlackRock.
This legislative drive aims to provide much-needed regulatory boundaries for digital currencies, encouraging traditional financial markets to transition toward tokenized assets on the blockchain.
Combined with administrative efforts from regulatory bodies like the SEC and operational migrations planned by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the legislation marks a pivotal watershed moment.
Providing clear rules for digital assets paves the way for institutional capital to enter utility-driven blockchain networks, precious metals tokenization, and modern foreign currency exchanges.
As regulatory frameworks solidify, analysts anticipate significant momentum behind utility-focused cryptocurrencies. As traditional fiat currency models face ongoing inflationary pressures, decentralized finance solutions and digital ledger systems—particularly those associated with enterprise protocols like XRP—are positioned as efficient alternatives for cross-border settlements.
Key public speeches and political announcements are expected to further catalyze interest in digital asset infrastructure, signaling a gradual departure from total reliance on traditional paper monetary systems.
International markets are already adapting to this digital evolution. In response to paper market volatility and recent price fluctuations, China has adjusted its gold trading policies, shifting away from speculative paper proxies toward blockchain-backed tokenization.
By integrating precious metals directly onto distributed ledgers, international markets can improve liquidity, enhance asset tracking, and reduce reliance on intermediary financial proxies.
In broader commodities markets, subtle adjustments in gold and silver prices—coupled with market expectations of potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve—suggest that central banks are preparing for a changing macroeconomic environment. Lower interest rates typically ease financial pressure on the public and provide liquidity ahead of major political and economic cycles.
Economic realignments rarely happen in isolation; they are deeply interconnected with international diplomacy. Recent reports highlight momentum toward historic peace initiatives and regional diplomatic agreements in the Middle East, including framework discussions regarding regional security and economic stabilization.
Achieving long-term geopolitical stability in energy-rich regions is vital for establishing transparent trade routes, stabilizing currency values, and facilitating global investment flows.
In times of broad economic and technological transformation, taking a broader perspective on community values and stewardship is essential. In his analysis, Jon Dowling incorporates timeless principles from Scripture, emphasizing values such as humility, collective discernment, and mutual support as society navigates shifting economic structures.
Rather than viewing financial shifts purely through an individualistic lens, these perspectives encourage viewing economic stewardship as an opportunity to uplift communities, promote fairness, and support long-term social stability.
The convergence of foreign liquidity pressures, U.S. regulatory clarity, digital asset adoption, and geopolitical negotiations signals a unique period in global finance. As traditional structures evolve, tracking legislative and technological updates remains essential for navigating the future of money and investment.

Oil Minister to Turkiye to expand Iraq's export routes
2026-08-01 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq's Oil Minister Basim Mohammed Khudair al-Abbadi travelled to Turkiye on Saturday at the head of a senior delegation to finalise talks and sign an agreement on the transport and loading of Iraqi crude oil through the Iraq-Turkiye pipeline to the port of Ceyhan, according to an official statement.
Al-Abbadi said the visit aims to expand Iraqi crude export outlets and maximise financial revenues from exports to support the state budget, coinciding with disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz that have strained global energy supply chains.
The visit falls within broader ministerial efforts to strengthen cooperation with Turkiye on the export agreement, increase export capacity, and reduce dependence on traditional transit routes by securing alternative options, the statement added.
The two sides are also set to discuss joint project development and expanded cooperation in oil, gas, and infrastructure, to advance shared interests and enhance economic stability for both countries.
The trip follows the expiry of the previous pipeline agreement on July 27, and comes as both governments work to ensure continued crude flow and deepen energy sector ties.
Al-Abbadi had discussed the agreement with Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar in Baghdad on July 9. Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi visited Turkiye last week at the head of a senior government delegation and met with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, with talks covering security, economic, and investment cooperation, as well as oil, energy, and trade.
A senior official at the state-owned North Oil Company disclosed to Shafaq News on June 24 that the Iraq-Turkiye pipeline running from Kirkuk to Ceyhan had been fully prepared, with a test pumping phase set to begin within two weeks ahead of a stable resumption of exports.

Iraq, Turkiye To Begin Ceyhan Oil Exports Under New Deal
2026-08-01 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraqi and Turkish companies will begin operations under a new agreement to transport crude oil exports through the Iraq-Turkiye pipeline to the Port of Ceyhan, Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi announced on Saturday.
Al-Zaidi called the deal a “strategic milestone” for restoring Iraqi crude flows through the pipeline and expanding economic cooperation with Turkiye. Baghdad and Ankara, he added, are finalizing a broader framework covering oil, electricity, water resources, and other areas of mutual interest.
Earlier today, Oil Minister Bassem Mohammed Khudair Al-Abadi signed the one-year agreement with the Turkish side to transport Iraqi crude through the pipeline at a minimum rate of 750,000 barrels per day pending the completion of the wider framework.

Basrah Crude Posts Sharp Weekly Losses
2026-08-01 Shafaq News- Basrah BasraH Heavy and Medium crude posted steep weekly losses even as global oil prices rose at the close of the week, following a stretch of volatility across markets in recent days.
BasraH Heavy fell $1.89 a barrel, or 3.25%, in the final trading session to settle at $56.21, marking a weekly loss of $9.61, or 14.60%, from its level at the start of the week.
BasraH Medium also slipped $1.89 a barrel, or 3.13%, to close at $58.51, posting a weekly loss of $9.61, or 14.11%, compared with the start of the week.
Global oil futures, by contrast, ended the week higher. Brent rose $0.98, or 1.10%, to $90.01 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate climbed $1.22, or 1.46%, to $84.81 a barrel.

Baghdad And Ankara Pursue 750K Bpd Deal
2026-08-01 Shafaq News- Ankara Iraq and Turkiye on Saturday discussed a one-year agreement setting a minimum Iraqi crude export volume of 750,000 barrels per day through the Iraq-Turkiye pipeline to Ceyhan.
The Ankara talks were led by Iraqi Oil Minister Basim Al-Abbadi and Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar. Iraq’s Oil Ministry stated that the temporary deal would remain in force while both sides develop a broader framework covering oil, electricity, and water resources
The previous bilateral pipeline framework expired on July 27. The route, Iraq’s only active crude export outlet outside its southern terminals, reopened in September 2025 after a two-and-a-half-year shutdown linked to an international arbitration dispute over Kurdistan Region crude exports.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Global Digital Money Framework Accelerates as Stablecoin Rules and Financial Oversight Advance
Governments and international financial institutions are accelerating efforts to modernize the global monetary system through digital asset regulation, stablecoin oversight, and next-generation payment infrastructure. While individual countries are moving at different speeds, the overall direction points toward a more regulated, technology-driven financial system with significant implications for global commerce and cross-border payments.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Global Digital Money Framework Accelerates as Stablecoin Rules and Financial Oversight Advance
Governments and international financial institutions are accelerating efforts to modernize the global monetary system through digital asset regulation, stablecoin oversight, and next-generation payment infrastructure. While individual countries are moving at different speeds, the overall direction points toward a more regulated, technology-driven financial system with significant implications for global commerce and cross-border payments.
Overview
Digital asset regulation continues advancing as governments seek clearer rules for stablecoins, tokenized assets, and cryptocurrency markets.
International financial institutions are emphasizing the need to preserve confidence in money while embracing financial innovation.
The modernization of payment systems is increasingly viewed as a key component of the future international monetary system.
Key Developments
1. Stablecoin Regulation Continues to Gain Momentum
Momentum continues behind legislation and regulatory initiatives designed to establish clearer rules for stablecoins and digital assets. Policymakers increasingly view regulatory certainty as essential for encouraging innovation while protecting investors and maintaining financial stability.
Several jurisdictions are moving toward comprehensive frameworks that define issuer responsibilities, reserve requirements, and market oversight.
2. BIS Calls for Trust to Remain the Foundation of Digital Money
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) recently emphasized that innovation alone is not enough. According to the BIS, future payment systems must continue to preserve trust in money, financial integrity, and interoperability as digital finance expands.
The BIS acknowledged the efficiency benefits of tokenization and programmable payments but warned that current stablecoin structures still present risks if widely adopted without appropriate safeguards.
3. IMF Highlights Stablecoins' Growing Global Influence
Recent International Monetary Fund (IMF) research shows that stablecoins are becoming increasingly important in cross-border payments and international capital flows.
The IMF notes that while stablecoins can improve payment efficiency, they may also affect exchange rates, monetary policy transmission, and financial stability—particularly in emerging economies where dollar-denominated digital assets are growing rapidly.
4. Financial Infrastructure Continues Modernizing
Banks, payment providers, and financial regulators are steadily moving toward tokenized financial infrastructure, programmable settlement systems, and faster cross-border payment networks.
Although implementation will likely occur over several years, these initiatives reflect a broader transition toward a more digital and interconnected global financial architecture.
Why It Matters
The global financial system is evolving beyond traditional banking infrastructure. Digital assets, tokenized payments, and regulated stablecoins are becoming increasingly integrated into mainstream finance, with governments working to balance innovation against financial stability.
For businesses and consumers, these developments could eventually improve payment speed, reduce settlement costs, and expand access to digital financial services while operating within clearer regulatory frameworks.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Those monitoring international monetary developments continue to watch digital payment infrastructure because changes in cross-border settlement, reserve management, and regulated digital assets may influence the long-term evolution of the global financial system. While these initiatives do not signal an immediate currency revaluation, they represent structural changes that could reshape international finance over time.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 2: Trade
Modernized digital payment systems and regulated stablecoins have the potential to improve cross-border settlement, increase efficiency, and reduce friction in international commerce.
Pillar 4: Technology
Tokenization, programmable money, and digital payment infrastructure continue to reshape financial markets as governments and central banks prepare for the next generation of monetary systems.
Closing Thought
This is not simply about cryptocurrency—it reflects the continuing modernization of global finance as regulators, central banks, and financial institutions work to build a more digital, interoperable, and resilient international monetary system.

They will increase its value and restore it to its former glory.

Saturday Iraq News Posted by Tishwash at TNT 8-1-2026
TNT:
Tishwash: Al-Sarraj: Current circumstances necessitate creating a conducive environment and expediting the formation of the cabinet.
Political analyst Ibrahim al-Sarraj believes that current circumstances necessitate creating a conducive environment and expediting the formation of the cabinet, particularly the security ministries.
Speaking to Mawazin News, al-Sarraj stated, "The lack of political momentum toward finalizing the cabinet is not related to the anti-corruption campaign targeting several officials and members of parliament, as disagreements among political parties regarding the cabinet predate the campaign."

Tishwash: Al-Sarraj: Current circumstances necessitate creating a conducive environment and expediting the formation of the cabinet.
Political analyst Ibrahim al-Sarraj believes that current circumstances necessitate creating a conducive environment and expediting the formation of the cabinet, particularly the security ministries.
Speaking to Mawazin News, al-Sarraj stated, "The lack of political momentum toward finalizing the cabinet is not related to the anti-corruption campaign targeting several officials and members of parliament, as disagreements among political parties regarding the cabinet predate the campaign."
He added, "The disagreements among political blocs manifested in objections to certain nominees," noting that "these objections were not based on objective grounds but rather aimed at marginalizing certain blocs due to existing disputes."
He further explained that "Prime Minister Ali Mohsen al-Ahmad has an opportunity to create a conducive atmosphere by working to bridge the differences between the various political blocs, especially given the current regional situation, which demands the completion of the cabinet, particularly the security ministries." link
Tishwash: Liquidity shortages threaten Iraqi private banks and push towards mergers to settle obligations.
A banking source revealed a shortage of liquidity in a number of private banks in Iraq, attributing this to the limited deposits and the decline in citizens’ confidence in private banks, which has weakened their ability to meet some local and international obligations and the requirements of the Central Bank of Iraq.
The source said that this situation may push towards the merger of a number of banks, noting that mergers also come within the requirements of reforming the banking sector and trends related to international standards.
He added that banks are required to have financial assets and insurance with the Central Bank of Iraq, explaining that a bank that suffers from weak assets or is unable to meet its obligations towards citizens may be subject to closure, provided that the rights of depositors are dealt with in accordance with the approved principles and controls.
The source explained that merging struggling or liquidity-deficient banks does not necessarily mean the loss of citizens’ money, as financial obligations and rights remain in place, but the recovery of funds may not be as quick and easy as depositors expect.
He pointed out that addressing the liquidity shortage problem requires restructuring the banking sector and strengthening confidence in local banks, in addition to increasing their ability to comply with regulatory and financial requirements, which contributes to reducing the risks of default and protecting depositors' funds. link
************
Tishwash: “No money” is a clear message that the crisis needs management, not excuses.
August 1, 2026
The Iraqi government acknowledged on Friday that the country is going through a real financial crisis that has led to a change in the mechanism for disbursing employee salaries and delaying them until the Ministry of Finance has sufficient liquidity, amid the continued repercussions of the disruption to revenue exports through the Strait of Hormuz.
Government spokesman Haider al-Aboudi stated in a press conference that Iraq faces enormous monthly expenses, emphasizing that spending cannot continue using the same mechanisms as before. This admission came shortly after a striking statement by Health Minister Abdul-Hussein al-Moussawi, who succinctly summarized the crisis by saying, “There’s no money,” referring to the severe funding shortage plaguing the health sector.
These developments put al-Zaydi’s government to a critical test; economic experts believe that the crisis, despite its roots extending back to the era of former Prime Minister Muhammad al-Sudani, who successfully managed it cautiously, now requires decisive alternatives and an immediate halt to costly promises.
Observers criticized the continuation of additional government pledges, such as the proposal to distribute one million serviced residential plots and amend the retirement of security forces, in parallel with the inflation of special grade privileges, uncontrolled expenditures in ministries, and the salary of the Rafha detainees.
Social media platforms witnessed a widespread wave of anger, as one activist wrote on the “X” platform: “Delaying salaries means starving millions of families, while the privileges and operational budgets of officials have not been touched by any rationalization.”
On Facebook, another citizen commented: “The real crisis is not just in Hormuz, but in continuing to make fanciful promises and neglecting to manage liquidity scientifically.”
Experts emphasize that a safe financial transition requires immediately controlling side spending and rationalizing government consumption, in order to avoid exacerbating the liquidity crisis and securing the basic entitlements of citizens. link
Tishwash: Iraq enters a state of "financial hardship"... and a warning of a more severe crisis.
Researcher and economic consultant Ziad Al-Hashemi warned on Friday (July 31, 2026) that Iraq has officially entered a state of "financial hardship," noting that the government is going through its worst period while citizens are waiting to receive their financial entitlements.
Al-Hashemi said in a statement received by "Baghdad Today" that: "The government's recent admission of the shortage of liquidity in its treasury is no longer surprising, after long months of stubbornness, denial and obstinacy, and after the continuous deterioration in revenues forced it to admit the bitter truth to the people."
He added that "what is truly surprising is that there were those who were reassured that everything was going well, and that there was nothing to worry about, as long as Iraq had dollar reserves that allowed it to pay salaries normally."
He stressed that “it is Iraq’s misfortune that its oil revenues are considered depleted revenues even before they reach the government treasury,” explaining that “the corrupt are waiting for their share, the party’s economic offices are waiting for their share, the armed groups are waiting for their share, the creditors are waiting for their share, and the ghost employees are waiting for their share, so that the real Iraqi employee comes last on the list.”
Al-Yassiri pointed out that "the problem under such a lax and undisciplined financial model does not lie in the decline in oil prices or the decline in exports alone, but rather in governments that have spent recklessly for years as if revenues would remain high forever."
Al-Hashemi stressed that "Iraq does not suffer from a lack of resources, but rather from their mismanagement," calling on the government to "reduce waste, control the payroll, stop fictitious employment, suppress corruption and recover looted funds, dismantle economic offices, and develop non-oil revenues."
He explained that "any further rise in oil prices will only be a temporary respite before another, more severe financial crisis, unless these measures are taken."
He concluded by saying: "The truth that must be stated clearly is that a state that is unable to protect its revenues and regulate its spending will not be saved by reserves forever, and the employee and the citizen will not be able to continue paying the price for corruption and mismanagement indefinitely." link
************
Tishwash: “I will leave if I remain shackled”... Al-Zaydi’s resignation shakes the coordination framework, and the weapons issue ignites the confrontation.
In a remarkable political development, sources within the coordination framework, as reported by Al-Araby TV and followed by Al-Mustaqilla, revealed an escalating, undeclared crisis between Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi and the political forces supporting his government, reaching the point of hinting at the option of resignation.
According to the sources, Al-Zaydi expressed his dissatisfaction with the lack of response to his vision on a number of crucial issues, stressing that the continued obstruction of his government’s decisions may push him to take a decisive political stance.
These developments put the Al-Zaidi government in front of one of its most difficult crises since its formation, as the dispute is no longer about administrative details or differences in viewpoints, but rather about the nature of the security and sovereign decision and who has the final say in state matters.
The weapons issue: the flashpoint between al-Zaydi and the factions
According to the information circulating, the issue of restricting weapons to the state has become one of the most prominent causes of tension, after some factions did not respond to the Prime Minister’s directives regarding reorganizing the status of weapons and armed forces under the official state framework.
Observers believe that this issue represents the biggest test for al-Zaydi, as any attempt to redefine the relationship between the state and the factions will clash with complex political and security balances that have formed over the past years.
The unity government faces a moment of truth
The current escalation points to a deeper crisis within the Iraqi political equation, where the Prime Minister finds himself facing a difficult dilemma: either to proceed with implementing his program and strengthening the powers of the state, or to confront the pressures of the forces that contributed to his coming to power.
The al-Zaidi crisis raises a major question about the ability of Iraqi governments to make independent decisions on sovereign matters, especially when those decisions conflict with the interests of influential forces within the political and security landscape.
A political resignation or a warning message?
Politicians believe that al-Zaydi's threat to resign may be a pressure tactic to rearrange the rules of the relationship with his partners, but at the same time it reveals the extent of the tension within the coalition that leads the government.
If the crisis turns into an open confrontation, Iraq may be facing a new phase of political conflict, the title of which is: Who has the final say… the government or the forces behind it?
The coming days will be crucial in determining whether al-Zaidi's threat is merely a bargaining chip, or the beginning of a political crisis that could redraw the map of power in Baghdad link

Clare: Will the Federal Government Remove Three Zeros from the Iraqi Dinar?
The Iraqi federal government is considering two additional measures to address its financial crisis: borrowing domestically and internationally and removing three zeros from the Iraqi dinar, a currency redenomination intended to simplify transactions, strengthen confidence in the dinar, and help manage inflationary pressures caused by increased money printing.
By: Hawre Tofiq
It is clear that, due to the war, the Strait of Hormuz has been closed, significantly restricting oil exports and causing a sharp decline in public revenues. As a result, the federal government is facing a crisis in financing its operational budget, particularly the payment of public sector salaries.

It is clear that, due to the war, the Strait of Hormuz has been closed, significantly restricting oil exports and causing a sharp decline in public revenues. As a result, the federal government is facing a crisis in financing its operational budget, particularly the payment of public sector salaries. To address this situation, it has taken the following steps:
1. Printing More Iraqi Dinars
During Prime Minister Mohammed Shia' Al-Sudani's government, additional Iraqi dinars have been printed to pay salaries. While this measure has helped solve the immediate problem of salary payments, it could lead to long-term inflation because of the increased money supply.
2. Two Additional Plans Under Consideration
The government is now considering two further options:
First: Domestic and foreign borrowing.
Second: Removing three zeros from the Iraqi dinar.
The Iraqi government is reportedly considering deleting three zeros from the national currency. For example:
25,000 Iraqi dinars would become 25 dinars after removing three zeros.
Likewise, all other currency denominations would be adjusted accordingly.
Instead of expressing figures in billions, they would be expressed in millions.
The objective of this move is to preserve the value of the Iraqi dinar. Since a large amount of currency has already been printed, the government fears inflationary pressure. It also intends to revalue the exchange rate against the U.S. dollar. For example, after removing the three zeros, US$100 could be exchanged for 150 Iraqi dinars instead of the current denomination. The government also believes this measure could help reduce the apparent size of operational budget expenditures, including salaries.
3. Legal and Constitutional Requirements
Monetary and financial policy requires legal backing. The proposal to remove three zeros from the Iraqi dinar would normally require legislation, making it a politically sensitive issue that may be difficult to pass in Parliament.
To address this, the government has explored another legal route. The Prime Minister requested that the Federal Supreme Court of Iraq issue an interpretive ruling regarding the powers of the Council of Ministers under Article 80, Paragraph Third of the Iraqi Constitution, which authorizes the Council to issue decisions, regulations, and instructions.
The Prime Minister asked whether the Council of Ministers could issue regulations and instructions even if Parliament had not explicitly delegated that authority in a specific law.
The Federal Supreme Court ruled that, regardless of whether a law expressly grants such authority, the Council of Ministers possesses an inherent constitutional power to issue regulations, instructions, and decisions.
This ruling opens the door for the government to proceed with removing the three zeros from the Iraqi dinar through a governmental regulation, without first obtaining parliamentary approval. That this is a highly technical monetary and financial issue that deserves careful analysis and discussion by financial and economic experts. LINK

Clare: Without delay, Al-Rafidain Bank directs work on Friday and Saturday to complete salaries.
7/30/2026
On Thursday evening, Rafidain Bank directed that official working hours continue in a number of its branches and departments responsible for settling salaries during Friday and Saturday, in order to complete the procedures for raising and disbursing salaries without delay.
According to a statement issued by the bank and received by Shafaq News Agency, this directive comes as a confirmation of its approach to harnessing its human and technical capabilities to ensure the speed of salary disbursement operations, and to enhance the readiness of its branches to accommodate the volume of work, in order to ensure the smooth provision of banking services, reduce pressure on branches, and provide the best level of service to citizens.
The bank confirmed that its staff will continue working during the two official holidays to complete all procedures related to raising and disbursing salaries according to the highest standards of efficiency, speed and accuracy, which embodies its commitment to providing reliable banking services, and consolidating its role in supporting the stability of the financial system and serving citizens.
Earlier today, Iraqi Finance Minister Faleh al-Sari revealed that there is a real financial deficit that is hindering the completion of salary payments for employees, retirees, and social welfare beneficiaries.
For his part, Iraqi Health Minister Abdul Hussein al-Moussawi acknowledged on Thursday that the government is facing a liquidity crisis that has made securing salaries its priority.
An informed source confirmed to Shafaq News Agency that the process of distributing state employees’ salaries for this month is expected to begin at the start of next August, given the continued financial challenges facing the public treasury. LINK

Jeff Iraq has been stalling and delaying the cabinet all the way since May with making no efforts to try to resolve the cabinet. That's because the cabinet isn't an issue. They know who they want to put in there. Everything is scheduled to the rate change. The rate change itself is scheduled. That's the critical component to this. Everything has to happen around what is the rate change date. They're timing the cabinet completion with what is the rate change date.
Frank26 [California bank story] I got a call yesterday ...he wanted to meet with me one on one...I've already done business with them through investments but this was a higher up VP. I went to his office in downtown...The question he asked first was, you've been a customer with us for a long time...along with owning all of these dinars? I was like, yeah, but you already know that...what's the reason for the meeting?...He said, from our conversation you know we're getting pretty close. He said, the main reason why I brought you here today is to show you. He turned his PC screen around and showed me a list of numbers and a list of names and codes. He said, do you know the code for the Iraq dinar? I said, yeah...the color of IQD was in red. The numbers did not start with a decimal point and there were no zeros on that screen for the IQD. [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
Frank26 I picked my jaw from the ground and said, what does this mean? He says, we're close...those numbers keep changing and it's been for a little over a week and that's why he decided to reach out and ask me meet with him.Those numbers were higher than I thought they would be and the number also changed while I was there. So he was telling the truth, the numbers are changing all the time. I was not at a local bank so please do not start bothering the banks about this conversation. Let it happen. Let it flow. We're close...He said we would be talking very soon and we have a lot to do...there are no delays. There are no red flags. There are no red lights. He said this is on and popping and that was the end of the conversation. We're there. [Post 2 of 2]

How Long Can Iraq Rely On The Central Bank's Reserves, Money-Printing Scheme To Survive?
Mahmood Baban 30-07-2026 For four months, despite an 83 percent decrease in its revenue, Iraq has still been able to cover its monthly expenses; above all, seven trillion Iraqi dinars (about $5.3 billion) for wage earners, including the Kurdistan Region.
It is true that the delayed return of oil revenue through the national marketer's mechanism, the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO), resolved some of the imbalance between revenue and spending during the ongoing war, but what has sustained the Iraqi government financially is the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) by introducing 43 trillion dinars (about $32.6 billion).

How Long Can Iraq Rely On The Central Bank's Reserves, Money-Printing Scheme To Survive?
Mahmood Baban 30-07-2026 For four months, despite an 83 percent decrease in its revenue, Iraq has still been able to cover its monthly expenses; above all, seven trillion Iraqi dinars (about $5.3 billion) for wage earners, including the Kurdistan Region.
It is true that the delayed return of oil revenue through the national marketer's mechanism, the State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO), resolved some of the imbalance between revenue and spending during the ongoing war, but what has sustained the Iraqi government financially is the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) by introducing 43 trillion dinars (about $32.6 billion).
This was done by injecting newly printed money and reducing the reserves it had accumulated over two decades.
According to data from the federal oil ministry and SOMO, the combined oil revenues of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region over the past two months still do not reach one-third of a single pre-war month's revenue.
Data shared by SOMO show that in May and June 2026 (61 days), total revenue stood at $2.33 billion, whereas in just the 28 days of February, it was $6.8 billion. This is despite the fact that 17 to 24 percent of the revenue reported by SOMO goes to foreign companies operating in Iraq.
In other words, over the past two months, Iraq had approximately 2.5 trillion dinars (about $1.9 billion) in oil revenue, but its monthly expenditure was seven times that amount.
Since the beginning of the Iran war in late February, the question that constantly arose was whether the Iraqi government would be unable to cover its expenses, particularly salary expenses, due to the decrease in oil exports and revenue, but now the government is distributing salaries for July 2026. How did this happen, and where did the money originate from?
While many questions linger, four stand out: How can Iraq sustain expenses where 90 percent goes toward operational costs and salaries without sufficient revenue?
Why has the dinar appreciated against the US dollar despite increased liquidity injection? Can Iraq live off its foreign reserves, and for how long? To what extent can it continue printing dinar currency (from 50,000 to 250 dinar notes) for the market?
Expenditure amid appreciation
In the first half of this year, Iraq's monthly expenditure roughly mirrored that of last year. Finance ministry data puts total expenditure for the first five months at 46.69 trillion dinars (about $35.35 billion), projected to reach approximately 55.56 trillion dinars (about $42.07 billion) over six months - on par with the 56.7 trillion dinars (about $42.92 billion) spent in the first half of last year.
In contrast, total revenue for the first six months of last year stood at 62 trillion dinars (about $46.94 billion) - 57 trillion oil (about $43.15 billion), five trillion non-oil (about $3.79 billion) - whereas in the first half of this year, it barely reached approximately 35.56 trillion dinars (about $26.92 billion) - roughly half of last year's figure.
Iraq sustained these expenses by utilizing reserves, issuing new currency into circulation, cutting operational and investment spending, and attempting to recover billions of dinars and millions of dollars hidden in barrels, cans, walls, and pits - as seen in Operation Dawn and the case of Adnan Al-Jumaili, former deputy oil minister for refining affairs, who was awarded “Best Manager of the Year" by the former Iraqi prime minister and oil minister just last year.
The answer to the second question - why the dinar has appreciated against the US dollar despite increased liquidity injection - is simple: the Iraqi dinar does not maintain a standard direct relationship with the US dollar, nor does Iraq's currency market react rapidly to bank interest rates and market shifts like Turkey or Iran. Instead, the CBI directly sets and maintains the exchange rate.
By standard economic metrics, injecting excess dinars without backing from production and GDP growth should weaken the currency. However, as observed recently, the dinar's value against the dollar appreciated rather than depreciated.
Statistics show that at the end of last year, total currency printed by the CBI was 99.79 trillion dinars (about$76.14 billion) - 92.56 trillion held in banks, 7.24 trillion outside. By May end, total printed currency reached 113.56 trillion dinars (about $86.66 billion) - 6.75 trillion in banks, 106.8 trillion in circulation outside. Over the first five months of this year, the CBI injected an extra 2.75 trillion dinars (about $2.1 billion) per month. Consequently, the exchange rate dropped from above 157,000 dinars to 149,500 dinars per $100.
Moreover, CBI figures through July 2 show that the US had not sent any cash dollars to Iraq this year, causing foreign cash reserves at the Bank to drop to $84 million before rebounding to over $500 million. By July 16, cash reserves stood at $319 million - meaning the US sent only a single shipment of $500 million in physical cash to Iraq up to mid-July 2026.
Ultimately, what moves the dollar-dinar market is big merchants and capitalists holding massive reserves of both currencies accumulated over the past two decades, rather than basic supply-and-demand laws or CBI monetary policy alone.
Monetary Expansion Risks
Iraq's foreign currency reserves have experienced major ups and downs over the past two decades, continuously rising and accumulating until late 2022. At the beginning of 2014, it reached 90 trillion dinars (about $68.49 billion), later dropping to 50 trillion (about $38.05 billion) due to the war on the Islamic State (ISIS), rising to 80 trillion (about $60.88 billion) before COVID, and dropping to 64 trillion (about $48.70 billion) during the COVID era.
At the beginning of 2023, it reached 150 trillion dinars (about $114.14 billion), and now (July 16, 2026) it has dropped to 102.5 trillion dinars (about $78 billion).
Over the past six months or so, since late January through July 16, reserves have dropped by 29.4 trillion dinars (about $22.37 billion) - falling from 131.89 trillion (about $100.36 billion) to 102.5 trillion. If Iraq receives very low income, it can rely on its reserves for at most six more months. Reserves cannot be drawn down to zero; dropping below half of their current level signals national insolvency.
Furthermore, 29 trillion dinars (about $22.07 billion) of these reserves consist of gold - whose value keeps fluctuating with world market prices (losing 6.4 trillion dinars, or about $4.87 billion, in value this year) - while the rest is tied up in financial bonds, which have decreased by 20 trillion dinars (about $15.22 billion) since the start of the year as funds were drawn down.
The CBI’s financial system requires money printing to be backed by labor, production and services - areas where Iraq faces severe structural deficits. Over the past six months, the CBI expanded the currency supply by approximately 13.7 trillion dinars (about $10.43 billion).
The only dangerous consequence of printing money without domestic product (GDP) growth is rising inflation; on April 1 of last year the rate was 0.4 percent and on April 1 of this year it reached 4.7 percent, while last month it reached 3 percent.
If currency printing continues without output-backed revenue, inflation will enter double digits. Commodity price controls will collapse, pushing poverty, unemployment, and financial hardship higher while further undermining real GDP growth.
Iraq's revenues and expenditures in the first half of this year were severely unbalanced. However, the CBI bailed out the government and prevented a liquidity crisis by injecting 43 trillion dinars (about $32.56 billion) into circulation - raising printed currency from 99.79 trillion (about $75.56 billion) to 113.56 trillion dinars (about $85.98 billion) while depleting reserves from 131.89 trillion (about $99.86 billion) to 102.5 trillion dinars (about $77.61 billion).
The budget deficit was covered by printing money and eroding reserves - not through structural reform, revenue diversification, operational cost cuts, productive sector activation, or recovering the trillions lost to corruption. Iraq can likely limp along to the end of this year, however, what it will do next year remains to be seen.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Infrastructure, Nuclear Program, and Shipping Lanes Become New Flashpoints
Military planning, nuclear developments, and threats to global energy routes are increasing pressure on financial markets as the Middle East conflict moves beyond battlefield operations into areas that could reshape international trade and energy security.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Infrastructure, Nuclear Program, and Shipping Lanes Become New Flashpoints
Military planning, nuclear developments, and threats to global energy routes are increasing pressure on financial markets as the Middle East conflict moves beyond battlefield operations into areas that could reshape international trade and energy security.
Overview
Reports indicate the United States and Israel are preparing potential strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure, signaling another possible escalation in the conflict.
Iran has reportedly transferred advanced nuclear centrifuges to a deeper underground facility, further complicating diplomatic efforts surrounding its nuclear program.
Tehran continues to warn that additional military pressure could lead to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy shipping corridors.
Key Developments
1. Energy Infrastructure Becomes a Strategic Target
According to multiple reports, U.S. and Israeli planners are preparing possible operations against Iran's critical energy infrastructure, including facilities tied to oil and natural gas production. Such actions would represent another significant escalation because they directly threaten Iran's economic lifeline while increasing risks to global energy supplies.
2. Iran Strengthens Protection of Its Nuclear Program
Iran has reportedly moved advanced centrifuges to the underground Mountain Pick facility, reducing international visibility into portions of its nuclear program after previous strikes on nuclear-related sites. Analysts believe this move could make future negotiations considerably more difficult while increasing uncertainty surrounding any long-term diplomatic agreement.
3. Strait of Hormuz Remains a Major Global Risk
Iran's leadership warned that continued military pressure could lead to actions affecting strategic waterways, particularly the Strait of Hormuz. Because roughly one-fifth of globally traded oil moves through this corridor, even the threat of disruption continues to influence energy markets, shipping costs, and inflation expectations.
4. Maritime Pressure Continues
The U.S. Navy has continued enforcing maritime operations around Iranian shipping routes, redirecting commercial vessels while allowing humanitarian traffic. Although no full closure has occurred, the continued military presence demonstrates that tensions remain elevated despite ongoing diplomatic discussions.
Why It Matters
The conflict is increasingly shifting beyond military exchanges toward energy production, nuclear capabilities, and international shipping routes. These three areas directly influence global inflation, commodity prices, transportation costs, and investor confidence.
Any disruption involving the Strait of Hormuz or major energy facilities could quickly ripple through global markets, affecting everything from fuel prices to manufacturing costs and international trade.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Foreign currency holders continue watching these developments because sustained geopolitical instability often influences capital flows, reserve currencies, commodity prices, and central bank policy. While military conflict alone does not trigger currency revaluations, prolonged pressure on global trade and energy markets can accelerate broader changes within the international monetary system.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 2: Trade
The continued risk to the Strait of Hormuz highlights the vulnerability of global shipping networks and reinforces efforts by many nations to diversify trade routes, payment systems, and supply chains.
Pillar 5: Energy
Energy remains one of the primary drivers of global inflation and economic stability. Any disruption to oil production or shipping could influence monetary policy, commodity markets, and long-term investment decisions worldwide.
This is not simply another Middle East military update—it reflects how energy security, global trade routes, and strategic infrastructure have become central components of the broader restructuring taking place within the international financial system.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱
If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.
What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.
For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.
That is not your failure.
Our mission here is different: • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus
Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process
Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.
You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.
Protect your identity. Organize your documents. Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.
You deserve truth — not timelines.
