Removing Zeros From The Dinar: Parliamentary Finance Committee Sets Conditions For Proceeding With This Matter.

Today 12:19 The Information/Baghdad...  Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Amer Rahim, confirmed on Saturday that voting on a bill to remove zeros from the local currency requires extensive discussions and the enforcement of a package of laws within the Parliament. He indicated that raising this issue at the present time is premature.

Rahim told Al-Maalouma, “The step of removing zeros from the currency cannot be decided hastily; rather, it requires a series of lengthy and in-depth discussions within Parliament.” He explained that "the process is closely linked to the economic reality and requires amending and enacting several supporting financial laws and regulations to ensure market stability."

He added, "Raising the discussion about this topic at this stage is premature, given the financial challenges that require first providing a comprehensive economic and banking environment before embarking on any structural change to the currency."

 He pointed out that "any measure of this kind without careful and prior study may negatively impact the purchasing power of citizens."

Rahim stressed "the need to focus currently on supporting the stability of the national currency and implementing banking reforms, while leaving the issue of removing zeros until economic conditions are more favorable and full legislative support is available within the House of Representatives."

Baghdad Today - Baghdad   The Central Bank of Iraq reassured depositors on Saturday (September 5, 2026) about the safety of the banking sector, stressing that “imposing supervisory or guardianship committees on a licensed bank does not mean its bankruptcy, but rather comes within the framework of precautionary and legal supervisory measures aimed at protecting the rights of depositors and ensuring the stability of banking operations.”

CBI Governor: Currency Changes Within CBI Scope

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) — The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), Nizar Nasser Hussein, affirmed on Sunday, September 6, 2026, that redesigning or issuing new currency denominations falls strictly under the legal jurisdiction of the central bank, whereas re-denominating the currency by deleting zeros requires formal legislation passed by the Council of Representatives.

Speaking during an economic dialogue with financial specialists and reported by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Hussein outlined ongoing banking sector restructuring programs overseen in technical partnership with international consultancy Oliver Wyman, while providing comprehensive updates on monetary circulation, sovereign foreign investments, and international banking compliance.

Key Monetary and Institutional Positions

• Currency Re-denomination vs. Currency Design: Hussein clarified the legal division of monetary authority: updating currency notes, aesthetics, and security specifications remains an autonomous CBI prerogative, but deleting zeros from the Iraqi Dinar necessitates primary statutory approval by parliament.

• Monetary Mass Breakdown: The total sovereign issued monetary mass stands at 107 trillion IQD, while active liquidity circulating within domestic market transactions approaches 40 trillion IQD, reflecting persistent physical cash-hoarding outside formal bank balance sheets.

• Banking Sector Reforms & Sanctions Status: Ongoing structural audits and institutional reforms are advancing in direct coordination with Oliver Wyman.Hussein stated that international restrictions on Iraqi financial institutions are being systematically addressed, affirming that international confidence in the CBI remains robust.

• Non-Dollar Foreign Exchange Clearances: Seven Iraqi commercial banks previously cleared to conduct trade transactions in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar (such as the UAE Dirham, Euro, and Chinese Yuan) are slated to commence operational activities in the near term.

• Depositor Guarantees (Al-Taif Islamic Bank): Addressing concerns surrounding Al-Taif Bank, Hussein reassured markets that the majority of depositor funds remain fully secured, confirming that the Central Bank will intervene directly to cover liabilities should any capital shortfall emerge.

• Sovereign Reserves in the United States: Iraq continues to anchor its primary foreign sovereign reserves and investments within the United States, citing U.S. sovereign immunity protections and high asset safety compared to risk profiles present in alternative foreign jurisdictions.

• Private-Sector Governance Model: Emphasized that the current administration operates under private-sector-aligned economic management, alongside plans to launch specialized credit initiatives directed toward strategic infrastructure and productive enterprises.

Central Bank Policy and Liquidity Overview

Financial Parameter / Policy Area‍ ‍Status / Metric‍ ‍Regulatory & Economic Context

Total Currency Issued (M0) 107 Trillion IQD Total domestic monetary liability base

Currency Redesign & Specs Full CBI Legal Authority Handled internally via CBI executive board

Deleting Zeros (Re-denomination) Requires Parliamentary Statute Needs legislative enactment by Council of Representatives

Restructuring Advisor Oliver Wyman Comprehensive audit & compliance integration

Alternative-Currency Lenders 7 Authorized Private Banks Imminent launch of non-USD cross-border clearing

Depositor Protections Guaranteed Coverage (Al-Taif) CBI backstop commitment against liquidity gaps

Reserve Custody Venue United States (Federal Reserve) Leverages sovereign immunity and low asset risk

Governor Hussein’s statements draw a clear regulatory boundary between cosmetic or security upgrades to the national currency and structural re-denomination. By emphasizing that eliminating zeros requires legislative consent, the CBI signals that any future re-denomination strategy must align with broader fiscal reforms approved by lawmakers.

Furthermore, committing state backstops for depositor funds at private institutions like Al-Taif, combined with international compliance audits via Oliver Wyman, serves to stabilize depositor confidence at a time when domestic banking liquidity faces close scrutiny.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

CHINA'S $3.44 TRILLION RESERVE WALL RISES: YUAN STRENGTH SIGNALS A SHIFT IN GLOBAL CURRENCY BALANCES

China's enormous foreign-exchange reserve position is rising as the yuan strengthens and the dollar weakens, highlighting how exchange rates, reserve management and competing currencies are reshaping the global financial landscape.

 OVERVIEW

• China's foreign-exchange reserves rose to $3.438 trillion in August, up from $3.419 trillion in July and above the $3.425 trillion Reuters poll forecast.

• The increase occurred as the yuan gained 0.49% against the dollar while the U.S. dollar weakened 0.4% against a basket of major currencies.

• The development does not mean China is abandoning the dollar, but it highlights the growing importance of currency valuation, reserve diversification and the yuan in the evolving global monetary system.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. China's Reserve Wall Climbs to $3.438 Trillion

China's foreign-exchange reserves—the largest reserve holdings of any country—increased by roughly $19 billion in August.

The total reached $3.438 trillion, compared with $3.419 trillion in July and above the $3.425 trillion expected by economists surveyed by Reuters.

The increase gives Beijing an enormous pool of external financial assets that can help provide stability during periods of currency, trade or financial-market stress.

2. A Weaker Dollar Helped Lift the Dollar Value of China's Reserves

The reserve increase occurred alongside significant currency movements.

The yuan appreciated 0.49% against the dollar during August, while the dollar declined 0.4% against a basket of major currencies.

That distinction matters.

A country's reserve total is reported in U.S. dollars, so changes in exchange rates can alter the dollar value of assets even when a central bank has not dramatically changed the underlying composition of its reserves.

The IMF has emphasized that exchange-rate valuation effects can account for a significant portion of changes in reserve-currency shares.

3. The Yuan Is Gaining Ground—But the Dollar Still Dominates

The broader reserve picture is more complicated than a simple "dollar versus yuan" story.

The IMF reported that the U.S. dollar represented 57.13% of global official foreign-exchange reserves in the first quarter of 2026, compared with 56.42% in the previous quarter.

The renminbi's share rose modestly from 1.95% to 1.99%.

That means the yuan remains a relatively small component of official global reserves compared with the dollar.

But even a small increase matters when it occurs alongside China's enormous reserve base, expanding international trade relationships and efforts to increase the yuan's use in cross-border transactions.

4. Reserve Management Is Becoming More Important in a Fragmenting Financial System

Central banks are not simply holding reserves passively.

They manage portfolios containing currencies, government securities and other reserve assets, and the value of those assets can change because of exchange rates, interest rates and market prices.

The IMF notes that changes in reserve composition can result from both active buying and selling and valuation effects.

That makes China's $3.44 trillion reserve position strategically important.

It represents not only financial protection for Beijing, but also a substantial pool of assets connected to the global currency and bond markets.

5. The Bigger Story Is the Evolution of the Global Reserve System

China's reserve position should not be interpreted as proof that the yuan is replacing the dollar.

The evidence does not support that conclusion.

Instead, the more significant development is that the global monetary system is becoming more complex and increasingly influenced by multiple currencies, reserve strategies and competing financial centers.

The dollar remains dominant, but the yuan is part of a broader trend in which countries are paying greater attention to currency diversification, reserve security and control over cross-border financial flows.

WHY IT MATTERS

Economy: China's enormous reserve position provides a substantial external financial buffer as the country manages trade, currency and economic pressures.

Markets: Changes in the dollar and yuan can affect the reported value of reserve assets and influence international capital flows.

Policy: Central banks increasingly have to manage reserves while considering exchange rates, interest rates, geopolitical risk and financial stability simultaneously.

Global System: The key structural question is not whether one currency suddenly replaces another, but whether the world is moving toward a more diversified and fragmented reserve system.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

For foreign currency holders, this development reinforces the importance of watching central-bank reserve policies and exchange-rate trends.

• A stronger yuan can improve the dollar value of yuan-denominated assets, while a weaker dollar can increase the reported U.S.-dollar value of foreign reserve holdings.

• China's enormous reserve position also demonstrates why currency strength cannot be evaluated solely by the exchange rate.

• Reserves, trade balances, capital flows, interest-rate differentials and central-bank policy all influence the long-term position of a currency.

For holders of foreign currencies, the important question is increasingly how governments and central banks are positioning their reserves—not simply what today's exchange rate happens to be.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Assets

China's $3.44 trillion reserve position demonstrates the enormous scale of sovereign financial assets held outside the United States. How these assets are managed can influence global bonds, currencies and capital flows.

• Pillar 2: Trade

China's role as a major global trading power gives the yuan an expanding platform for international use. If more cross-border trade is settled in currencies other than the dollar, the architecture of global payments and reserves could gradually become more diversified.

CONCLUSION

China's latest reserve data does not signal the end of dollar dominance.

It does, however, provide another piece of evidence that currency management and reserve strategy are becoming increasingly important to the structure of global finance.

The yuan's August appreciation occurred alongside a weaker dollar, while China's reserve holdings climbed above $3.4 trillion. Meanwhile, the IMF's data shows that the dollar remains overwhelmingly dominant in official reserves, with the yuan still occupying a much smaller share.

The real story, therefore, is not "China is replacing the dollar."

It is that the global monetary system is gradually becoming more complex, more actively managed and potentially more diversified.

The next phase of global finance may be defined not by one currency replacing another, but by how major nations manage the currencies and assets they hold in an increasingly fragmented 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.

China Just Triggered the Biggest Gold and Silver Rally in 50 Years: Luke Groman

China Just Triggered the Biggest Gold and Silver Rally in 50 Years: Luke Groman

Slick Finance:  9-5-2026

The global financial landscape is experiencing a profound transformation, characterized by a steady shift away from traditional dollar-centric foreign exchange reserves.

As nations reevaluate their monetary strategies in an increasingly interconnected yet fractured world, a new global monetary dynamic is taking shape. At the center of this evolution is the enduring appeal of gold, which is rapidly emerging as the preferred neutral reserve asset for sovereign entities seeking stability, security, and independence from legacy financial systems.

Over the past several years, notable shifts have occurred in currency valuations relative to precious metals. For instance, the Chinese yuan has experienced a dramatic depreciation when measured against gold.

This movement reflects a much broader, strategic pivot away from reliance on the US dollar and toward a vision of yuan internationalization that is fundamentally anchored by gold.

Financial analysts, including noted macroeconomic commentator Luke Gromen, have highlighted this ongoing transition. While digital assets like Bitcoin continue to show immense promise for the future of finance, gold’s significantly lower volatility currently cements its position as the dominant choice for sovereign reserve diversification among central banks and major global players.

This changing architecture highlights a stark contrast in international economic strategies. Historically, the prevailing global system relied heavily on the United States’ ability to recycle foreign-held dollars back into domestic treasury securities.

 In contrast, China’s evolving financial framework points toward a system where creditors are incentivized through gold-backed mechanisms.

 In this alternative model, even amidst domestic deflationary pressures, creditors can confidently utilize their yuan holdings to purchase substantial goods and services directly within China, reshaping traditional trade and reserve dynamics.

Concurrently, fiscal and monetary pressures within the United States are mounting toward critical junctures. Driven largely by escalating entitlement obligations and rapidly rising debt servicing costs, the federal fiscal trajectory faces severe stress. To address these compounding challenges, policymakers are increasingly discussing radical potential responses. Among the strategies under consideration are massive treasury buybacks and comprehensive debt restructuring through short-term paper instruments. Intriguingly, some proposals suggest these instruments could potentially be supported by heavily regulated stablecoins operating at artificially low interest rates.

While implementing such aggressive monetary measures might successfully avert an immediate fiscal collapse, it would come with significant long-term consequences. Most notably, this approach risks drastically escalating inflation and fundamentally altering the mechanics of traditional bond markets.

As these large-scale transformations unfold across the international stage, the traditional divide between economic winners and losers is bound to shift. Rather than benefiting legacy financial institutions and governmental elites, the new monetary order anchored by gold suggests a profound redistribution of wealth and economic power, potentially favoring industrial sectors and the broader middle class.

2,500 Years of Monetary History Reveal the Same Pattern. Is It Happening Again? | Bob Klein

2,500 Years of Monetary History Reveal the Same Pattern. Is It Happening Again? | Bob Klein

Miles Franklin Media:  9-6-2026

Michelle Makori, President & Editor-in-Chief of Miles Franklin Media, interviews Bob Klein, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Medici Capital.

 Klein, who identified the dot-com and housing bubbles before they burst, explains why the U.S. stock market is once again in bubble territory and what could ultimately bring the boom to an end.

He warns that major technology companies may struggle to generate adequate returns on the trillions of dollars being committed to AI, but believes the bubble could continue until the Federal Reserve tightens liquidity more forcefully.

The conversation also examines rising sovereign debt, mounting interest costs and the risk of losing control of the U.S. Treasury market.

 Klein argues that the dollar-based monetary system is steadily losing credibility as central banks & governments rebuild their gold reserves.

He believes this monetary shift is only in the “fourth inning” and says $10,000 gold by 2030 is a realistic possibility, with the potential for gold to move considerably higher.

Klein also reveals why gold mining shares represent his highest-conviction investment theme. Drawing on more than 40 years of financial-market experience and his extensive collection of historical coins & paper currencies, he explains how monetary debasement has repeatedly produced financial booms, inflation and destructive busts throughout history.

In this episode of The Real Story:

• Why $10,000 gold by 2030 is realistic

• The AI bubble & its potential trigger

• Stocks falling by a third or more

• Sovereign debt and rising Treasury yields

• Central banks rebuilding their gold reserves

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 9-6-26

Al-Taif Bank Pledges To Return Depositors’ Funds

2026-09-06 Shafaq News- Baghdad   Al-Taif Islamic Bank said it would soon return depositors’ funds after a committee appointed by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) formally took control of the bank’s management.

The bank said on Sunday the committee began its work and is preparing a plan to set procedures for customers and settle their financial claims.

Earlier today, depositors protested outside Al-Taif Islamic Bank in Baghdad over frozen banking services and the suspension of withdrawals and deposits. The CBI later said the measure did not mean the bank was bankrupt, explaining that it was a precautionary regulatory action intended to protect depositors’ rights.

CBI: Most Al-Taif Deposits Guaranteed

2026-09-06 Shafaq News- Baghdad   Most depositors’ funds at Al-Taif Islamic Bank are guaranteed, and the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) will intervene if the lender faces a shortfall, Governor Nizar Nasser Hussein said on Sunday.

Speaking with a group of economic specialists, Hussein said the CBI has reserves, financial tools and contingency plans to manage crises, adding that it has strengthened internal oversight and taken preventive measures toward financial and banking institutions.

The CBI is continuing its banking sector reform program in coordination with consulting firm Oliver Wyman. Hussein said the next phase would bring further changes aimed at strengthening the sector and integrating it more closely with the international financial system.

He added that international confidence in the CBI was “very high.”

On Iraq’s money supply, Hussein said the CBI has issued about 107 trillion dinars (about $81.7 billion) in currency, while roughly 40 trillion dinars (about $30.5 billion) is circulating in the market.

He also said changing the currency falls within the CBI’s authority, while removing zeros would require legislation from parliament.

The CBI plans to launch new lending initiatives for key projects to stimulate investment and production and expand the private sector’s role in the Iraqi economy, Hussein said.

He described banking reform as an ongoing process aimed at building a more efficient and competitive sector, adding that the government’s economic approach places greater emphasis on the private sector’s role in development.

Al-Taif Islamic Bank was placed under CBI guardianship on Sept. 2 over violations that the Central Bank said had affected its financial position and depositors’ funds.

Hormuz Disruption Reroutes Thai Rice To Iraq

2026-09-05 Shafaq News- Bangkok    Thai rice shipments to Iraq are being rerouted overland through Jordan and Turkiye as disruption in the Strait of Hormuz alters trade flows, Thai Rice Exporters Association Deputy Secretary-General Waniwat Kittiranglarp said.

Kittiranglarp stated that the sharp drop in recorded Iraqi purchases largely reflected the route shift rather than weaker demand. Iraq was Thailand’s largest rice market in 2025, importing 1,001,306 metric tons, according to association data.

Earlier this year, Thai exporters said shipments to Iraq had stopped for about three months after Gulf shipping was disrupted, cutting more than 200,000 tons from Middle East sales.

Transit cargo through Jordan’s Aqaba port rose 155.1% year-on-year in the first half of 2026, driven largely by goods trucked onward to Iraq as Gulf shipping remained disrupted.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. STRIKES THREE IRANIAN OIL TANKERS: WAR MOVES DEEPER INTO THE GLOBAL ENERGY-SUPPLY SYSTEM

The conflict is no longer only threatening oil supplies — military action is now directly targeting vessels carrying Iranian crude, raising the financial stakes for energy markets, shipping, currencies and global trade.

OVERVIEW

• U.S. forces struck three Iranian crude-oil carriers on Saturday after Iran launched ballistic missiles at two U.S. Navy ships, according to U.S. Central Command.

• The strikes demonstrate that the conflict is reaching directly into the physical transportation of energy, while U.S. pressure is simultaneously weakening Iran's ability to use the Strait of Hormuz as economic leverage.

• The financial risk is expanding beyond oil prices: shipping disruption → higher energy costs → inflation pressure → higher interest rates → greater debt and currency volatility.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. U.S. Forces Strike Three Iranian Oil Carriers

U.S. Central Command confirmed that American forces struck three Iranian crude-oil tankers after Iran launched ballistic missiles at two U.S. Navy ships.

The development is significant because the targets were not simply military installations. Oil carriers are part of the physical infrastructure that connects energy production to the global economy.

Any expansion of attacks involving commercial or oil-related shipping increases the potential for disruption to energy flows and raises the risk premium embedded in global oil prices.

2. The Conflict Is Moving Directly Into Energy Transportation

The Strait of Hormuz has become one of the most important pressure points in the conflict.

Reuters reported that U.S. and Iranian forces exchanged fire around vessels near Iran, including the three Iranian oil carriers struck by the United States.

This means the energy risk is no longer limited to how much oil is being produced. The critical question is whether oil can be safely transported through the region.

That distinction is crucial for global markets because additional production cannot immediately solve a transportation bottleneck.

3. Iran's Hormuz Leverage Is Being Challenged

A new Reuters analysis published Sunday says the United States has significantly weakened Iran's ability to use the Strait of Hormuz as economic leverage through its naval blockade and intensified sanctions campaign.

Iran is simultaneously facing restricted oil exports, reduced access to foreign currency and growing economic pressure.

That creates an unusual situation: Iran retains the ability to threaten disruption, but its own capacity to sustain that leverage is being increasingly constrained.

4. Oil Risk Is Becoming a Global Inflation Risk

The consequences extend well beyond the Middle East.

Brent crude rose 7.6% last week, while U.S. crude gained nearly 10%. U.S. diesel prices also reached a record as shipping disruptions tightened fuel supplies.

The longer the conflict affects energy transportation, the greater the possibility that higher fuel costs will spread into transportation, manufacturing, food and consumer prices.

That creates a difficult environment for central banks already confronting inflation concerns.

5. Energy Disruption Can Become a Debt and Currency Problem

The financial chain reaction is increasingly important:

Oil disruption → higher energy prices → higher inflation → higher interest rates → higher bond yields → higher government borrowing costs.

For heavily indebted governments, this can create additional fiscal pressure at precisely the time when economies are already dealing with higher energy expenses.

For currencies, the impact can diverge sharply. Energy exporters may benefit from higher revenues, while energy-importing nations can face worsening trade balances and pressure on their currencies.

WHY IT MATTERS

Economy: Higher energy and transportation costs can reinforce inflation while reducing household and business purchasing power.

Markets: Oil-related geopolitical risk can increase volatility across equities, bonds, commodities and currencies.

Policy: Central banks could face renewed pressure to keep rates higher if energy prices generate another inflation wave.

Global System: The conflict demonstrates how quickly a regional military confrontation can affect global energy transportation and financial markets.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

Foreign currency holders should watch energy exposure and capital flows closely.

• Countries that export significant amounts of oil can see stronger external revenues when crude prices rise. By contrast, countries dependent on imported energy can face higher import bills, inflation and pressure on their currencies.

• The dollar can also benefit from periods of geopolitical stress if investors seek liquidity and U.S. assets, particularly if higher oil prices reinforce expectations for higher U.S. interest rates.

• The key point is that currency values can increasingly reflect geopolitical energy exposure, interest-rate expectations and international capital flows at the same time.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Energy

The global financial system depends on the uninterrupted movement of energy. When military conflict reaches oil carriers and strategic shipping routes, energy security becomes a financial-system issue.

• Pillar 2: Trade

The conflict highlights the vulnerability of global trade to disruptions at strategic maritime chokepoints. Shipping costs, insurance, energy prices and trade flows can all be affected when a major commercial route becomes a military flashpoint.

CONCLUSION

The significance of the three tanker strikes goes beyond the individual vessels.

• The war is moving deeper into the infrastructure that connects energy production with the global economy.

• At the same time, the United States is attempting to restrict Iran's ability to use the Strait of Hormuz as economic leverage, while Iran continues to warn that additional attacks could trigger a stronger response.

That creates a difficult environment for global markets: oil remains vulnerable, shipping remains exposed, inflation risks are elevated and governments are already carrying historically large debt burdens.

The financial impact of this conflict will ultimately depend not only on how much oil is produced, but on whether the world's energy and trade arteries remain open.

When war reaches the ships carrying the world's energy, the consequences can reach every market connected to that energy.

Sunday Iraq News Posted by Tishwash at TNT 9-6-2026

TNT:

Tishwash:  Currency exchange offices closed at Baghdad airport; travelers warned of delays.

The Baghdad International Airport administration announced on Saturday that the Central Bank of Iraq has closed a number of exchange companies operating inside the airport, warning travelers of congestion and delays in currency exchange procedures .

The airport administration said in a statement seen by “Al-Sa’a” that “passengers whose travel requires them to complete currency exchange procedures must come to the airport early and well before the flight time.”

She added that "this comes as a result of the closure of a number of exchange companies operating at the airport by the Central Bank of Iraq, which may lead to a surge and delay in the currency exchange process."

The Baghdad Airport administration urged the concerned passengers to "arrive well before the flight time, in order to avoid any delay that may affect their travel procedures  link

************

Tishwash:  The Central Bank warns against fake news aimed at destabilizing the economy.

The Central Bank's media director, Haider Ghazi, denied on Saturday that the dollar exchange rate had been officially changed.

Ghazi told Shafaq News Agency that "the news circulating about changing the dollar exchange rate is false and baseless."

He added that "the news aims to destabilize the economy and the exchange rate, for specific purposes."

A short while ago, news spread on social media that the exchange rate had changed, and that the Central Bank had announced that deposits would be at a rate of 1460 dinars per dollar, starting tomorrow  link

************

Tishwash:  Al-Zaydi's advisor: The Iraqi economy is hostage to oil, and liberating it begins with activating other sectors.

 The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Saturday that the Iraqi economy depends almost entirely on oil export revenues, explaining that the movement of oil revenues is directly reflected in the Iraqi balance of payments, whether in cases of surplus or deficit.

Saleh told Al-Maalomah that “any shocks or crises that the global economy is exposed to from the outside directly affect the Iraqi economy, given the high level of dependence on oil as a main source of public revenues.”

He added that "one of the main ways to avoid the repercussions of global economic crises is to diversify the economy and sources of financial revenues," stressing "the need to gradually move towards a more diversified economy that is less dependent on oil."

Saleh pointed out that "Iraq should, during the next ten years, work to raise the percentage of non-oil revenues to constitute about 45 percent of the total budget revenues, which will enhance financial stability and reduce the economy's sensitivity to fluctuations in oil prices."

He emphasized that "supporting the general budget requires diversifying funding and revenue sources, along with strengthening productive sectors, especially agriculture and industry, in order to contribute to building a more sustainable economy capable of withstanding crises."  link

*************

Tishwash:  Former MP: Washington is pushing for its conditions to be met in exchange for completing the government cabinet.

Former MP Rasoul Radhi confirmed that the US administration is exerting pressure on Iraq to achieve its conditions in exchange for giving the green light to Ali al-Zaidi to complete his cabinet.

Radhi told Al-Maalouma, "The government has an agreement and a specific date for the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq on September 30th. Resistance factions and political parties are monitoring this matter to see the seriousness of implementing this agreement before beginning a new phase."

He added, "The US administration has imposed conditions on Iraq, preventing the government from completing its cabinet or filling vacant ministerial posts until after September 30th, the date set for the withdrawal of US forces."

He explained that "America is pressuring the government and setting conditions for completing the cabinet, seeking through this pressure to disarm the Islamic resistance in Iraq."  link

Tishwash:  Central Bank Rejects Rumors Of Devaluing Iraqi Dinar

At a Glance:

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) on Saturday refuted widely circulating rumors regarding plans to increase the official USD/IQD exchange rate.

CBI Media Director Haider Ghazi reaffirmed that the official exchange rate remains fixed, dismissing claims that deposits or official transactions would be repriced to 1,460 IQD per dollar.

The central bank cautioned that false reports aim to destabilize financial markets, urging media platforms and the public to verify information via official channels.

The CBI's official selling rate stands unchanged at 1,310 IQD per USD for commercial operations and transfers.

The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) issued a firm denial on Saturday, September 5, 2026, rejecting unverified reports and social media claims that federal monetary authorities intend to devalue the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar. Reaffirming its official policy baseline, the CBI confirmed that no adjustments to the exchange rate have been enacted, describing circulated rumors of a rate hike to 1,460 IQD as unfounded attempts to destabilize local currency markets.

Key Statements and Focus Area:

Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) Official Statement (Carried via State Media):
"Reports claiming an intention to raise the exchange rate of the US dollar are completely unfounded. No decision has been issued in this regard, and the official exchange rate approved by the Central Bank has undergone no change. We urge all news outlets and social media users to exercise accuracy and rely exclusively on official sources for monetary policy updates."

Haider Ghazi, Media Director of the Central Bank of Iraq:
"The rumors suggesting a rate shift to 1,460 dinars per dollar are designed to create market anxiety and undermine economic stability. The bank maintains its established exchange rate framework, and operational indicators remain grounded in official standards."

Social Media Rumors and CBI Clarification

The central bank's statement followed a wave of digital posts claiming that starting September 6, official financial institutions would adjust dollar conversion pricing to 1,460 IQD per USD. Rebutting the speculative claims, the CBI clarified that monetary policy remains firmly anchored to the structural framework established alongside the Ministry of Finance.CBI officials highlighted that foreign exchange reserves and trade processing mechanisms remain stable, preventing the need for currency devaluations.

Monetary Control and Market Volatility

The CBI continues to manage the structural spread between official bank transfer rates and informal exchange markets. While local exchange bureaus in Baghdad, Erbil, and Basra traded between 1,540 and 1,547 IQD per dollar on Saturday, central bank regulators reiterated that official trade imports and foreign transfers continue to be processed at the pegged rate. Regulators warned that spreading forged notices or unauthorized policy claims would trigger legal oversight to preserve financial system security.

FYI

By immediately countering exchange rate rumors, the CBI aims to prevent speculative hoarding and artificial inflation spikes across local consumer markets. Maintaining a firm peg at 1,310 IQD reinforces the government's commitment to fiscal continuity, though persistent parallel market spreads highlight the ongoing challenge of meeting cash-dollar demand outside official banking channels.  link

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR Update as of Sun. 6 Sept. 2026

Compiled Sun. 6 Sept. 2026 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note:World Banks were broke after years of printing unlimited fiat US Dollars and lending money they didn’t have. The situation has forced the BRICS Alliance to (allegedly) dismantle the Petrodollar through a gold/asset-backed Global Currency Reset and has shaken the Financial World to it’s core.

Not to worry. President Trump, again, to the rescue. The President already has a new Global Quantum Financial System (QFS) (allegedly) in place. As of Tues. 1 Sept. 2026 the QFS was(allegedly)  live, covering the Planet and officially mapped to local routing networks. The QFS was (allegedly) replacing the broken banking order that fed on debt and control, while forming the foundation of a new financial era for the World.

Asset-backed sovereign funds backed by physical gold were re-anchored to the U.S. and other participating sovereign nations’ treasuries. The QFS (allegedly) could not be hacked, corrupted or controlled, while validating financial transactions worldwide in real time.

Over the last four hours 12,000 US regional and local credit unions have (allegedly) successfully integrated the ISO 20022 protocol.

The old banks were dying as the new network took their place. The corrupt Tier-1 mega-banks that refused to comply with the asset-backed standards have(allegedly)  had their settlement privileges permanently revoked by the Military Alliance.

The NESARA Liquidations: The hidden offshore pools used by the globalist corporations to short the markets and suppress humanity have been (allegedly) completely drained.

Iraq has doubled it’s gold reserves, transforming worth of the Dinar. China has accumulated gold, securing power and rewriting rules of Global trade – a system of real value.

GESARA/NESARA will be activated!

The release phase for TIER 4B (Us, the Internet Group) activation has(allegedly)  been set for Sun. 6 Sept. 2026. That’s when the financial transition moves toward the ISO 20022 system!

Thurs. 3 Sept. 2026  Bruce, The Big Call  667-770-1866: Intel said we were in 4-5 day window for this going. That put us to the weekend or Tues. 8 Sept. could come into play. A very high source said that if notification to Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) to set appointments should go over the weekend – including Labor Day Mon. 7 Sept.

Frank26 The IMF and the UN operational rate of the exchange of a country is reported on the 1st and the 15th of every month...

Reset IntelligenceThe CBI sets and announces the rate... any morning it chooses. It does not need the budget, the cabinet, or a vote.  That is literally the law: Central Bank Law No. 56 of 2004, Article 1/4/A, exclusive authority over exchange rate policy.

JeffThey're not waiting until '27 to delete the zeros.  In my strongest opinion I think they want all the zeros deleted during Q4 which would be the beginning of October to the end of December.  The '27 budget is based off of the new smaller currency value... Deleting the zeros means withdrawing the 3-zero notes.  The phrase deleting the zeros means nothing  regarding the exchange rate...only means to phase out and get rid of large 3-zero currency notes.  That's all it means.

Mnt Goat   I...want to point out the convergence of events that is about to happen. We will get peace in the middle east, Iran’s influence in Iraq will end, the IQD will be on FOREX, accession to the WTO, and we will be going to the bank. The only issue we don’t know for certain is the timing of it all.  For us we must watch the timing of the removing the zeros. This will be the movement we need to see. There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY the IQD could EVER go back to FOREX at a rate to attract investors at 1/6 of a penny so it will have to be at least over the 1990 pre-war days of $3.22. Iraq MUST FIRST REMOVE THE ZEROS thus swap out them out for the newer lower denominations. The ONLY reason why they have not yet done this is due to corruption...Shut this corruption with Iran down and then remove the zeros and “away we go”...

 Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

OPEC+ HOLDS THE LINE AS IRAN WAR DISRUPTS OIL FLOWS: SUPPLY SHOCK COULD KEEP INFLATION AND GLOBAL BORROWING COSTS ELEVATED

OPEC+ is expected to keep October oil production policy unchanged as the Iran conflict disrupts shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, leaving global markets exposed to a prolonged energy-driven inflation shock.

OVERVIEW

• OPEC+ is expected to halt further production increases for the fourth quarter, as the Iran war continues to disrupt oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz.

• Oil prices have already risen sharply, with Brent gaining 7.6% and U.S. crude nearly 10% during the latest week as Middle East supply routes remain impaired.

• The bigger financial risk is the chain reaction: higher energy costs can keep inflation elevated, pressure interest rates and push global borrowing costs higher.

1. OPEC+ Is Expected to Hold October Production Policy Unchanged

OPEC+ is expected to maintain its current oil-output policy when the group meets Sunday, rather than approve another increase for October.

The decision comes after the coalition approved an incremental production increase for September, completing the gradual rollback of a 1.65 million-barrel-per-day supply cut originally introduced in 2023.

The group is now expected to pause further increases during the fourth quarter as the war makes the global supply picture increasingly uncertain.

2. The Strait of Hormuz Is Limiting the Effectiveness of Additional Production

The problem is no longer simply how much oil OPEC+ produces.

The physical movement of oil has become the critical constraint.

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen sharply as military tensions and restrictions disrupt commercial traffic. Reuters reported that only four commodity vessels crossed the waterway on Thursday, compared with a recent 10-day average of 15.

That matters because Hormuz is one of the world's most important energy corridors. Even if additional crude exists in producing countries, moving that oil to refiners and consumers becomes much more difficult when shipping routes are impaired.

3. Oil Is Already Feeding Into a Broader Inflation Problem

The market is beginning to price the consequences.

Brent crude ended the latest week at $96.28 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate settled at $91.48. Brent gained 7.6% for the week, while U.S. crude rose nearly 10%.

The impact is spreading beyond gasoline.

Diesel prices have reached record levels in the United States, while higher transportation and energy costs threaten to filter through the broader economy.

That creates a particularly difficult environment for central banks because an energy shock can push inflation higher even while economic growth weakens.

4. Higher Oil Can Become a Bond-Market Problem

The financial significance of the OPEC+ decision goes far beyond the energy market.

If oil remains elevated, inflation may prove more persistent than policymakers expect. That can reduce the ability of central banks to lower interest rates and can force markets to maintain higher rate expectations for longer.

At the same time, governments must continue borrowing at increasingly expensive rates.

Reuters reported that the recent combination of rising fuel prices and oil prices has already pushed inflation and government borrowing costs higher around the world.

This creates a potentially dangerous feedback loop:

Higher oil → higher inflation → higher rates → higher bond yields → higher government debt costs.

5. OPEC+'s Dilemma Shows How Geopolitics Is Changing the Energy Market

OPEC+ traditionally has one of the world's most powerful tools for responding to an oil-price shock: adjust production.

But the current crisis exposes the limits of that tool.

When the major disruption occurs along the transportation route rather than entirely at the production field, additional barrels cannot immediately solve the problem.

That means the Iran conflict is increasingly turning the global oil market into a question of physical security, shipping access and geopolitical risk, rather than simply supply-and-demand balances.

WHY IT MATTERS

Economy: Persistent energy costs can raise transportation, manufacturing and consumer prices while simultaneously weakening economic growth.

Markets: Higher oil increases the risk of continued bond-market pressure because investors demand compensation for greater inflation uncertainty.

Policy: Central banks face a difficult choice between supporting growth and preventing an energy-driven inflation resurgence.

Global System: The episode demonstrates how geopolitical disruptions to a major energy corridor can quickly become a global financial issue.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

For foreign currency holders, the key issue is purchasing power.

• A prolonged oil shock can create different effects across currencies depending on whether a country is a major energy exporter or importer.

• Oil-exporting currencies can receive support from higher energy revenues, while oil-importing countries may face larger trade deficits, higher inflation and pressure on their currencies.

• At the same time, prolonged global inflation and higher U.S. interest-rate expectations can support the dollar and pull capital toward dollar-denominated assets.

This means currency values may increasingly reflect energy exposure, interest-rate differentials and capital flows rather than traditional economic measures alone.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

• Pillar 1: Energy

The global financial system is becoming increasingly sensitive to the physical movement of energy. Control over supply routes, shipping corridors and energy infrastructure can translate directly into financial influence.

• Pillar 2: Debt

An extended oil shock can keep inflation and interest rates elevated, increasing the cost of servicing government debt. Energy disruption therefore has the potential to accelerate pressure already building in global bond markets.

CONCLUSION

The significance of Sunday's OPEC+ decision is not simply whether the group adds or removes another few hundred thousand barrels of oil.

The bigger story is that OPEC+'s traditional supply-management tools are becoming less effective when geopolitical conflict disrupts the transportation system itself.

If the Strait of Hormuz remains impaired, the world could face a prolonged period in which energy prices remain elevated even as governments and central banks are already dealing with high debt, rising yields and persistent inflation.

The result is a financial chain reaction that begins with oil but can ultimately reach bonds, interest rates, government finances and currencies around the world.

The energy shock is no longer isolated to the oil market — it is becoming a test of the global financial system's ability to absorb higher inflation and higher borrowing costs simultaneously.

🌱 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.
