Iraq’s Central Bank Prints Trillions Of Dinars To Cover State Expenditures

Iraq Amr Salem   June 7, 2026  Baghdad (Iraqi News.com) – The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) issued around 25 trillion dinars to pay governmental expenditures, bringing the total money supply to 125 trillion dinars.  According to media reports, the step took place to counter falling oil income caused by regional interruptions in petroleum shipments.
