Tishwash: The Central Bank reassures depositors and confirms the protection of their funds.
The Central Bank of Iraq affirmed on Saturday that all depositors' funds in licensed banks are protected, while also stating that the Iraqi banking system possesses sufficient liquidity to efficiently manage its operations.
In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the bank clarified that "the Central Bank of Iraq's exercise of its powers to directly appoint supervisory or trusteeship committees to a licensed bank does not signify the bank's bankruptcy, as has been circulated on some social media platforms. Rather, these are precautionary and legal supervisory measures to ensure the bank's safety and the overall stability of its operations, and to protect depositors' rights in particular."

Tishwash: Removing zeros from the dinar: Parliamentary Finance Committee sets conditions for proceeding with this matter.
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 enactment 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." link
Tishwash: Washington's messages reach Baghdad... American reservations haunt the draft law on the Popular Mobilization Forces.
Revealed by the newspaper "An-Nahar"LebaneseThe American side reported Baghdad Over the past few days, there have been clear reservations about re-tendering bill Popular Mobilization ForcesIn its previous form, while it requested Washington Explicit guarantees that all Popular Mobilization Forces formations will be subject to the authority of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and that no parallel structures or authorities will be allowed to exist alongside the security institutions.
And the law entered Popular Mobilization Forces A new political round in Iraq More than a year after its passage was thwarted in House of RepresentativesThis comes at a time when the attempt to regulate the situation of the Popular Mobilization Forces intersects with a broader governmental approach to restricting weapons to the state and readjusting the relationship between armed formations and official security institutions.
The House of Representatives had completed the first and second readings of the bill during 2025, before the process stalled at the voting stage due to political disagreements, American objections, and reservations from Sunni and Kurdish forces. The American objection at the time focused on articles that it considered...Washington This could grant armed factions greater space within the formal system, and affect the nature of the security partnership with Baghdad
The issue was revived in 2026 after the Speaker of Parliament addressed the government regarding the submission of the draft law, while confirming prime minister Ali Al-Zaidi His government is proceeding with submitting the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) law to parliament, based on the premise that the PMF is part of the armed forces.
This coincides with the drafting of a law restricting weapons to the state, placing the government in a complex dilemma. Legally reorganizing the PMF must proceed in parallel with reducing any space for weapons and security decisions outside the official command, especially since the PMF already enjoys legal cover since the enactment of the PMF Law.Popular Mobilization ForcesLaw No. 40 of 2016 links the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, according to the newspaper.
The newspaper adds that for this reason, the dispute is not so much about the legitimacy of the PMF's existence as it is about its internal structure, its chain of command, its funding and command mechanisms, and the boundaries of the relationship between the official institution and the factions that maintain their own political, ideological, and organizational identities.
Washington is setting its conditions.
In this context, an Iraqi government source revealed to the newspaper that the American side had informed Baghdad in recent days of clear reservations about reintroducing the draft law in its previous form, considering that any legislation granting the factions additional influence could directly conflict with the process of disarming the militias.
According to the source, Washington requested explicit guarantees that all PMF formations would be subject to the authority of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and that no parallel structures or powers would be allowed to exist alongside the security institutions. American concerns also focus on the articles that might grant some leaders greater independence in decision-making, funding, or command structure, thus reinforcing the separation between the official form of the PMF and the actual reality of some factions within it.
Washington is also sensitive to the timing of the reintroduction of the law, given Baghdad's ongoing efforts to restrict weapons and end all armed activity outside official institutions. According to the same source, the American message warned that passing a version of the law that contradicts security sector reform could have repercussions on security, military, economic, and financial cooperation between the two countries.
Meanwhile, [the text abruptly ends here ].Iraqi governmentThe review of several articles of the draft law aims to preserve the legal framework of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and the rights of its members, without granting factions additional space outside the official command structure. The source believes that the coming days will determine whether Baghdad can reach a formula that combines establishing the PMF as an official institution with fulfilling its obligations regarding weapons.
The institution is one thing, and the factions are another.
The newspaper indicated that the main obstacle lies in the fact that legalizing the PMF has not practically led to the complete unification of its constituent formations. Since 2016, most factions have retained their names, structures, bases, and political and ideological affiliations, in addition to their presence in different areas of influence.
This reality, according to the newspaper, has left the transition from a multi-factional structure to a unified military institution incomplete, and has transformed issues of leadership, funding, and the chain of command into the core of the debate surrounding any new legislation.
The expert in strategic affairs, Major General Ahmed Al-Dulaimi The essence of the American observations lies precisely in this point: the necessity of subjecting all formations to the decision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and to a single military chain of command.
The problem, according to...Al-Dulaimi This becomes apparent when certain factions retain the ability to make unilateral decisions or exert their own influence, placing the state in confrontation with armed power centers that do not always operate within the same official framework.
Hence, the value of the law becomes tied to its ability to regulate powers, leadership, funding, and command mechanisms, and to prevent duplication of decision-making, while clearly distinguishing between the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) as an official institution and the factions that may adopt independent positions or decisions.
If legislation fails to address this gap, it may transform from a tool for regulating the institution into a legal cover that legitimizes the existing reality rather than changing it.
Weapons determine the fate of the law, and this equation becomes increasingly weighty as we approach 30 September The date related to the weapons inventory and the completion of the mission International coalition This makes the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) law part of a broader debate about the shape of Iraq's security state and the future of its relationship with Washington.
The newspaper explained that the law's success will depend not so much on its passage through parliament, but rather on its ability to effectively unify security decision-making within the institution and prevent the continued existence of independent power centers operating under an official umbrella.
Ultimately, the issue remains tied to the broader question facing Baghdad today: Will the new legislation lead to a more tightly integrated PMF into state institutions, or will it solidify the existing fragmentation within the organization under a more robust legal framework? link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Saturday Morning 9-5-26
The Central Bank reassures depositors: No bank failures... and liquidity exceeds 60%
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.”

The Government Faces Two Tests: Autonomy And The Economy. Will It Succeed In Overcoming The Political And Administrative Turmoil?
Today 15:34 Information / Special.. Political analyst Majashaa Al-Tamimi confirmed on Saturday that the ambiguous scene in Iraq reflects a structural and chronic governance crisis, which is mainly due to the sectarian and partisan quota system that prioritizes narrow interests over the national interest.
Al-Tamimi told Al-Maalouma that "the absence of sovereign decision-making in Iraq has led to weak administrations that lack strategic vision and rely heavily on a rentier economy based on oil."
Al-Tamimi added that “talking about restricting weapons cannot take place in light of Iraq’s lack of full autonomy and the absence of a serious political will capable of putting an end to foreign interference in all its forms,” stressing that “establishing the authority of the state requires first and foremost an independent sovereign decision and a clear political will.”
He pointed out that "combating corruption and economic reform require moving from patchwork solutions to comprehensive institutional reforms, through automating administration, diversifying sources of income, and strengthening the independence of the judiciary and activating its role in combating corruption."
He continued, "Iraq's future remains suspended between the continuation of the political and administrative chaos and the emergence of a genuine reformist will be capable of transcending the conflicts of power-sharing and spoils and placing the national interest at the forefront of priorities."

Employee Salaries: Between The Embers Of Economic Skepticism And The Cool Reassurances
Today 13:42 Information/Report... The issue of employee and retiree salaries has returned to the forefront of the Iraqi economic scene, amidst a clear discrepancy between official and parliamentary assurances regarding the availability of the necessary liquidity to secure monthly payments, and warnings against the state's continued reliance on short-term solutions without a comprehensive economic vision to address chronic financial imbalances.
The salary issue holds exceptional importance in Iraq, given its direct impact on millions of employees, retirees, and their families, as well as its repercussions on market activity, consumption, and economic activity in general. This makes any discussion of potential difficulties in funding salaries a matter of widespread concern among the Iraqi public.
Despite the recurring concerns about the state's ability to continue paying salaries, the Parliamentary Finance Committee asserts that the current financial situation does not warrant alarm, and that the relevant government agencies are committed to providing the necessary funds for timely disbursement.
In this context, Jamal Kojar, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, emphasized that the Prime Minister's office and the Ministry of Finance bear direct responsibility for managing the salary file, indicating that official bodies have confirmed their commitment to securing the necessary funds and that there are no obstacles preventing their disbursement.
Kujer told Al-Maalomah News Agency that "the relevant official bodies, foremost among them the Prime Minister's office and the Ministry of Finance, have affirmed their commitment to securing the funds for salaries without any obstacles."
He added that "the country's financial resources have begun to recover significantly, particularly oil revenues, which have recorded better levels compared to previous months," indicating, according to the available data, the government's financial capacity to continue meeting its monthly obligations.
Despite these assurances, concerns about the future of financial stability persist, especially given the Iraqi economy's continued heavy reliance on oil revenues, making it more vulnerable to fluctuations in crude oil prices and global market movements.
Critics of economic policies argue that the continued focus on securing salaries and operational spending does not constitute a genuine solution to the financial problem, but rather postpones crises to later stages, unless this is accompanied by reforms capable of diversifying income sources and increasing the contribution of productive sectors to the national economy.
In this context, MP Abdul Hamza al-Khafaji asserted that the government lacks clear economic solutions to address the financial crises, indicating that its primary focus is on securing employee salaries.
Al-Khafaji told the Al-Maalomah news agency, “The government has no economic solutions beyond securing employee salaries,” explaining that “the Iraqi economy needs a comprehensive vision that goes beyond addressing monthly obligations.”
He pointed out that "relying on oil as the main source of revenue makes the economy vulnerable to fluctuations and crises," calling for the development of concrete plans to diversify income sources and strengthen productive sectors.
Salaries: Between Social Entitlement and Financial Management
Ensuring salaries is a fundamental obligation for the state, but its continued prominence on the list of financial priorities raises questions about the economy's ability to transition from managing monthly obligations to building a more sustainable financial base.
An economy dependent on a single primary resource remains vulnerable to external influences not entirely under government control, most notably fluctuations in oil prices, export volumes, and revenues. This makes financial stability highly dependent on the performance of the oil sector.
Therefore, ensuring regular salary payments does not necessarily guarantee overcoming the economic crisis, but rather reflects the state's ability to meet its basic obligations in the short term. A genuine solution lies in broader reforms encompassing revenues, expenditures, public administration, and productive sectors.
Given these circumstances, calls are growing from both parliamentary and economic circles to reduce dependence on oil by revitalizing the industrial, agricultural, and investment sectors, supporting the private sector, and increasing non-oil revenues.
Al-Khafaji emphasized that addressing the financial crisis requires “economic and administrative reforms, reducing waste and corruption, and improving the management of public resources.” He stressed that "securing salaries should be part of a comprehensive economic plan, not the sole solution to the financial problems."
He also emphasized the need to adopt economic policies capable of creating job opportunities, stimulating the private sector, and increasing non-oil revenues, calling on the government to provide sustainable solutions that guarantee the country's financial and economic stability.
Immediate stability or a sustainable solution?
While assurances regarding the availability of liquidity seem capable of calming concerns about salaries in the short term, the broader debate extends beyond the issue of disbursing monthly payments to the future of public finances and their ability to withstand any potential revenue shocks.
This debate presents the government with a dual dilemma: maintaining the regularity of salaries as a social and economic priority, while simultaneously transitioning to long-term policies that reduce the fragility of public finances and provide the Iraqi economy with more diversified and stable sources of income.
Thus, the salary file remains secure according to current parliamentary and official assurances. However, ensuring its long-term sustainability depends on the state's ability to address the root causes of economic imbalances and transition from managing the financial crisis month by month to building an economy capable of with outstanding oil price fluctuations and achieving sustainable financial stability.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
KHARG ISLAND ATTACK RAISES NEW OIL-SHOCK RISK: MIDDLE EAST ENERGY DISRUPTION COULD REPRICE GLOBAL DEBT AND CURRENCIES
An oil tanker was reportedly struck near Iran’s critical Kharg Island export hub, adding a new layer of energy-supply risk to a global economy already dealing with elevated oil prices, inflation pressure and higher borrowing costs.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
KHARG ISLAND ATTACK RAISES NEW OIL-SHOCK RISK: MIDDLE EAST ENERGY DISRUPTION COULD REPRICE GLOBAL DEBT AND CURRENCIES
An oil tanker was reportedly struck near Iran’s critical Kharg Island export hub, adding a new layer of energy-supply risk to a global economy already dealing with elevated oil prices, inflation pressure and higher borrowing costs.
OVERVIEW
Energy Risk: An Iranian oil tanker was reportedly hit by four U.S. missiles near Kharg Island, according to Iranian media, with the crew evacuated and no casualties reported. The incident had not been officially confirmed by Iranian authorities or U.S. Central Command when Reuters reported it.
Critical Export Hub: Kharg Island has historically handled about 90% of Iran’s crude exports, making any disruption there potentially significant for an already-constrained regional oil market.
Financial Transmission: A prolonged energy disruption can move beyond oil markets into inflation, interest rates, bond yields, currencies and global borrowing costs.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. A New Threat Emerges Near Iran’s Main Oil Export Hub
An Iranian tanker near Kharg Island was reportedly struck by four U.S. missiles on September 5, according to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency and reporting cited by Reuters.
The tanker reportedly suffered no casualties, while its crew was evacuated. The reported strike had not received immediate official confirmation from either Tehran or U.S. Central Command, making verification important as the situation develops.
The significance lies not only in the vessel itself, but in where the incident occurred.
2. Kharg Island Is a Critical Point in Iran’s Oil System
Kharg Island is Iran’s principal crude-oil export terminal and has historically handled approximately 90% of the country's crude exports.
Operations have already been severely disrupted by the U.S. oil-export blockade and the continuing conflict surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.
That means another disruption could further restrict Iran's ability to move crude into international markets.
For global markets, the question is therefore not simply how much Iranian oil is lost—but how much additional uncertainty is introduced into an already disrupted regional supply chain.
3. Oil Is Already Creating an Inflation Problem
The latest Kharg Island development comes as Middle East tensions have already pushed crude prices above $90 a barrel.
Reuters reported that the ongoing conflict has also driven U.S. gasoline prices to a record-high Labor Day weekend average of approximately $4.03 per gallon. Higher crude prices, limited refinery capacity and reduced inventories are contributing to the pressure on consumers.
That creates a difficult policy environment.
Higher energy prices can push inflation higher just as central banks are trying to determine whether economic conditions justify lower interest rates.
4. The Energy Shock Can Become a Bond-Market Shock
Oil does not operate independently from the financial system.
A sustained increase in energy prices can raise inflation expectations. Higher inflation expectations can make central banks more cautious about cutting rates and can encourage bond investors to demand greater yields.
That creates a potential chain reaction:
Energy disruption → higher oil prices → inflation pressure → higher-for-longer rates → higher bond yields → higher government borrowing costs.
That transmission mechanism is particularly important now because global debt levels are already elevated and long-term Treasury yields have been under pressure.
5. Currency Markets Could Feel the Next Wave
Energy shocks can also produce major changes in international capital flows.
Oil-importing countries may face larger trade deficits and increased demand for dollars to purchase energy. Countries with weaker currencies can experience additional pressure if energy imports become substantially more expensive.
At the same time, investors may move toward currencies and assets perceived as safer during periods of geopolitical stress.
For foreign currency holders, this means the consequences of the Kharg Island development could eventually appear far beyond the Middle East.
WHY IT MATTERS
Economy
Higher energy costs act like a tax on households and businesses.
Consumers have less money available for discretionary spending, while transportation, manufacturing and other energy-intensive industries face higher costs.
Markets
Oil, bonds, equities and currencies can become increasingly interconnected when geopolitical risk threatens energy supplies.
The longer the disruption persists, the greater the possibility that markets begin pricing persistent inflation rather than a temporary oil spike.
Policy
Central banks face a difficult tradeoff.
If energy prices push inflation higher, policymakers may have less room to cut interest rates—even if higher borrowing costs are already weighing on economic activity.
Global System
The Strait of Hormuz and Kharg Island demonstrate how a relatively concentrated energy infrastructure can have consequences across the global financial system.
The issue is no longer simply how much oil is available.
It is increasingly about whether that oil can move reliably through the global trading system.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
Oil-importing currencies: Countries dependent on imported energy can face additional pressure on their trade balances and currencies.
Dollar demand: Energy-market disruptions can increase demand for dollars because much international oil trade is dollar-denominated.
Purchasing power: Higher fuel and transportation costs can reduce the purchasing power of currencies when inflation rises.
Capital flows: Geopolitical uncertainty can redirect international capital toward perceived safe-haven assets and away from vulnerable emerging markets.
Currency volatility: If oil remains elevated, differences between energy exporters and importers could become increasingly important to exchange-rate performance.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
Pillar 1: Energy
The Kharg Island development reinforces how energy infrastructure has become a strategic financial asset.
Control over oil exports, shipping routes and energy supply chains can influence inflation, trade balances, currencies and national fiscal conditions.
The global financial system cannot be separated from the physical energy system that supports it.
Pillar 2: Debt
An energy shock becomes a debt problem when higher inflation prevents interest rates from falling as quickly as markets expect.
If governments must refinance large debt loads at higher yields, energy-driven inflation can increase the cost of maintaining already elevated debt burdens.
That creates another pressure point in the global financial system.
CONCLUSION
The reported strike near Kharg Island is significant because it places one of Iran’s most important oil-export locations back at the center of the global energy-risk equation.
The immediate question is whether the incident remains isolated or becomes part of a broader escalation affecting Iran's ability to export crude and the region's ability to move energy safely.
The larger financial question is what happens if elevated oil prices persist while governments are already carrying historically large debt loads.
Energy disruption can become inflation. Inflation can become higher interest rates. Higher rates can become higher debt costs. And higher debt costs can ultimately reshape global capital and currency flows.
This is why the Kharg Island development matters beyond the battlefield: the next financial repricing may come not from a central-bank announcement, but from the interaction between energy supply, inflation, debt and global capital.

🌱 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.

RIPPLE: THE CONNECTIVE INFRASTRUCTURE OF PROGRAMMABLE GLOBAL FINANCE
A new monetary era has taken form.
The G20 is advancing financial modernization, digital assets, ISO 20022 harmonization, longer payment-system operating hours and better cross-border payments.
DTCC is bringing tokenization into production across an infrastructure responsible for more than $114 trillion in assets.
Ripple Prime now extends Ripple directly into institutional brokerage, clearing, financing and fixed-income markets.
These forces converge around one requirement:
Capital must become programmable, interoperable, liquid and globally mobile.
Ripple built for this moment.
ONE COMPANY. SEVEN INSTITUTIONAL CAPABILITIES.
1 Ripple Prime — Brokerage • Clearing • Financing
2 Ripple Custody — Institutional Asset Control
3 RLUSD — Stable Settlement Liquidity
4 XRP — Neutral Bridge Liquidity
5 XRPL — Issuance • Exchange • Ledgering
6 Ripple Payments — Global Value Movement
7 Ripple Treasury — Enterprise Cash & Liquidity Management
Together they create one connected economic loop:
ORIGINATE → TOKENIZE → CUSTODY → FINANCE → TRADE → COLLATERALIZE → CONVERT → SETTLE → RECONCILE
That integration is Ripple’s competitive advantage.
Ripple does not merely provide another payment rail, stablecoin, blockchain, custody platform or prime broker.
Ripple connects the entire institutional value chain.
$114 TRILLION BECOMES MORE PRODUCTIVE
Tokenization changes what assets can do.
AI changes how frequently they can do it.
As markets move toward continuous trading, collateral optimization, liquidity sourcing and settlement, the same capital can work harder:
50× turnover → $5.7 quadrillion annually
60× turnover → $6.84 quadrillion annually
70× turnover → $7.98 quadrillion annually
The transformation is not simply more money.
It is more utility from every dollar of existing value.
More velocity.
More liquidity.
More collateral mobility.
More transactions.
More settlement.
More interoperability.
RIPPLE NEEDS A FRACTION TO BUILD AN EMPIRE
At $6–$8 quadrillion of modeled annual institutional flow:
0.01% connected → $600–$800 billion
0.10% → $6–$8 trillion
0.50% → $30–$40 trillion
1.00% → $60–$80 trillion
Every additional institutional connection can strengthen the utility of Ripple Prime, Custody, RLUSD, XRP, XRPL, Payments and Treasury.
Each product strengthens the others.
Each new customer expands the network.
Each new asset creates another potential liquidity relationship.
Each new market creates another pathway through the stack.
2026–2031: THE RIPPLE MOMENT
The financial system is becoming programmable.
• Securities become programmable.
• Cash becomes programmable.
• Collateral becomes programmable.
• Treasury becomes programmable.
• Liquidity becomes programmable.
• Markets become continuous.
Ripple sits at their intersection.
The opportunity is no longer simply moving money across borders.
It is connecting assets, institutions, currencies, liquidity and ledgers across borders and markets.
That is the 5-year Ripple future:
ONE CONNECTED STACK.
ONE GLOBAL VALUE NETWORK.
INSTITUTIONAL FINANCE, MADE PROGRAMMABLE.
The world is building the new financial system.
@Ripple is built to connect it all.

History Makes a STRONG Case For A Dinar Revaluation
The Dinar Den: 9-3-2026
Global monetary systems are rarely static, continuously evolving through cycles of restructuring, technological innovation, and geopolitical readjustments.
Among the most discussed topics in modern currency analysis is the long-term trajectory of the Iraqi dinar and the broader economic framework supporting its potential revaluation. Rather than viewing currency shifts as isolated financial events, expert analyses suggest that significant monetary adjustments are part of a larger historical continuum.
History Makes a STRONG Case For A Dinar Revaluation
The Dinar Den: 9-3-2026
Global monetary systems are rarely static, continuously evolving through cycles of restructuring, technological innovation, and geopolitical readjustments.
Among the most discussed topics in modern currency analysis is the long-term trajectory of the Iraqi dinar and the broader economic framework supporting its potential revaluation. Rather than viewing currency shifts as isolated financial events, expert analyses suggest that significant monetary adjustments are part of a larger historical continuum.
By examining historical precedents, modern banking standards, and digital infrastructure rollouts, macroeconomists and currency observers gain a clearer perspective on how post-conflict nations rebuild their fiscal sovereignty and integrate into the international financial ecosystem.
Looking back at twentieth-century economic history provides essential context for understanding modern monetary resets. Countries like post-war Germany, Japan, and South Korea underwent extensive financial and structural overhauls following severe geopolitical disruptions.
In each instance, international stabilization programs, backed by major economic powers and multilateral institutions, helped transition shattered local currencies into stable mediums of exchange. These historical precedents demonstrate that rebuilding national balance sheets often involves severe currency devaluations followed by multi-phase stabilization strategies, institutional reforms, reserve accumulation, and eventual revaluation to reflect real economic value.
In the case of Iraq, the post-2003 financial architecture was heavily shaped by direct international and United States institutional involvement. The initial focus centered on stabilizing the domestic market, establishing a new sovereign currency framework, and controlling hyperinflation through regular currency auctions. Over the past two decades, this relationship has evolved from immediate post-conflict stabilization toward long-term modernization.
Integrating Iraq’s banking system into the global swift network and standardizing international correspondent banking relations have established a foundation where the foreign exchange environment can gradually shift away from strict capital controls toward broader market-oriented flexibility.
A notable aspect of Iraq’s contemporary economic strategy is its aggressive push toward monetary digitization and electronic banking solutions. While many developed nations are still deliberating the domestic deployment of Central Bank Digital Currencies, developing markets often serve as efficient testing environments for rapid digital transformation.
Iraq’s central bank has prioritized financial inclusion, point-of-sale terminal adoption, and core banking technology modernization. This accelerated push toward a cashless framework reduces the reliance on paper physical currency, minimizes informal market leakages, and establishes the precise tracking mechanisms necessary for a controlled currency adjustment.
Behind these domestic reforms lies a strict adherence to global regulatory standards, specifically those governed by the International Monetary Fund and international banking guidelines like Basel III.
Under the Basel III capital adequacy framework, sovereign central banks have renewed their focus on physical gold reserves, reclassifying unencumbered gold as a primary reserve asset.
Iraq’s deliberate accumulation of sovereign gold reserves serves a dual purpose: it fortifies the nation’s balance sheet against inflationary pressures and aligns its banking sector with top-tier international settlement standards, signaling to global markets that its currency is increasingly backed by verifiable wealth.
Despite optimistic analyses regarding monetary adjustments, economic restructurings of this scale are inherently gradual processes. Complex monetary coordination involves balancing exchange rate mechanisms, managed floats, cash turn-in periods, and regional political dynamics, meaning timeline estimates must be met with analytical patience. Sovereign nations prioritize systemic stability over rapid market shifts, ensuring that domestic industries and fiscal policy can sustain new currency values.

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Thursday, September 3rd and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in. We appreciate you, and we are still reaching over 20 million listeners in 160 or more countries. So that's good news, and so we're getting the. the call out there, and I'm excited about that. I'm excited about where we are, really. Believe it or not, and I'll have some good information to give you guys in my segment.
All right. Let's get into the intel segment and let's see where we are today.
I told you guys Tuesday night that we had heard that we were in a four to five day window, or maybe sooner. Thought, well, that's a strange way to say it, but that's the way Intel came in once. Four to five day window at the time that put us to the weekend, or maybe sooner. Then we also heard a piece that said we're waiting on Iran.
Now I don't know if we're still waiting on Iran, but the question with that was about which currency are they going to be using? Are they going to use the Iranian rial? Are they renaming Iran Persia?
Are they calling it something else, they are not going to be using the Iraqi dinar as was rumored, and I think I suggested that possibility.
I found out today that's not going to be the case. So, are we still waiting on Iran to get their act together in terms of the currency that they're going to be using, we'll find that out. We'll see.
As far as I know, no countries were squeezed with a 25% tariff for trying to help Iran. That was a threat that President Trump made.
If any countries are caught trying to help Iran through this time that we hit them with a 25% tariff, in addition to whatever else they're paying, and don't think that's an issue-at least not anymore. I don't think so. That seems to have been solved.
So Jeanie mentioned, you know, the eighth in four days. I'm calling the eighth in five days. Yes, I'm aware of the eighth of September on Tuesday, and it could come into play. It sure could, but what I'm hearing instead of that is that we should be?
This is how it was put from a very high source, and this is how it was put to it. Said if it doesn't go tonight, meaning the third of September tonight, Thursday night, if it doesn't go tonight, then it should go over the weekend, and I'm going to say that would take us all the way up to and including Labor Day, Monday the seventh.
Now, when we say we'll have it or it'll come in or whatever, usually that's referring to notifications with the 800 numbers. It could include exchanges also. We just have to see what happens, and I'm thinking the weekend really ascent starts tomorrow.
So obviously Labor Day weekend is here: Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, four days. Let's see if it happens, and we manifest that in that period of time. It looks like that's what we're expecting.
This is coming from a few different sources. When it comes to Redemption Center leaders, they did not have rates on the Redemption Center screens today, but the banks did. But the bank screen rates were racing back and forth very fast, very fast, and that means rates are populating on the screens.
And I think sometimes they don't show up on the Redemption Center screens, so that they can settle in and then show up on the Redemption Center screens. I'm not sure. Sometimes you can see them populating on bank screens. Sometimes you see them flashing and populating on Redemption Center screens.
It seems like it's usually one or the other, and we are, as far as I know, totally interconnected with the quantum financial system, the Starlink system, the SIPS cross border international payment system, and the ISO 22022 has been fully integrated, as far as we can tell. Everything's lined up and ready to go. I think some of the digital currencies are already in play and in place.
I know that in the Soviet Union, Russia, in Russia, they supposedly have their digital coin, which is probably a digital ruble, lined up and ready to go. And I think it may be available for them to buy, or not to buy, or maybe to sell. I don't know.
It's a fairly new coin that, for me, I have not heard of it until now that the Russian ruble would have a digital coin, and we'll have our own digital coin backing U.S.N. which we believe is XRP. That's what we've heard would be would be the the so-called gold-backed digital coin that would back our U.S.N. dollar.
So let's see what else we know of today. Yeah, I know there's a few more things I wanted to bring out tonight.
So let me see if I can focus and concentrate on a few of these. I want to say one thing about the Redemption Center experience.
Take a pad of paper or a portfolio, you know, which has a legal pad inside of it. That kind of a thing. That's what I'm using. Take that, or you can write down some things, and make sure you take blue and black pens.
There might be occasions to use a blue pen for signature or a black pen for signature, and that whole thing is I don't even remember the why behind it. It has to do with originals using a blue pen instead of a black pen. I think so. Try to take both a blue ink and black ink pen with you, at least one of each.
Okay, just so you're prepared for it. I've talked about what you need for the redemption center as far as identification. They will be taking your picture when you get there. So, but you do want a picture ID. You know, try to take a driver's license or a passport. You probably don't need both. If you have both, take them. Whatever.
You probably need one proof, at least one proof of where you live, which is usually a utility bill bill, like a gas bill, electric bill, cell phone bill, something like that. It shows your address on it. That would be important to know too.
The other thing is, we know of people that are working directly to supply the redemption centers who are with Wells Fargo that have delivered over the past couple of weeks, the quantum cards.
These are the quantum, what I called account cards. This is to activate and to move funds from your quantum account into your primary or eventually secondary bank accounts. Initially, on day one, when we go in, we'll set up our quantum account. It may not require a username, but be prepared with that pad to bring a username and password if it is needed.
My understanding is that the biometric finger or thumbprint that you make will essentially replace your username? But we we better say just in case to just have the ability for a username and password and obviously your five-digit PIN code.
Come up with five digits that are not consecutive. Come up with a nice five-digit PIN code, and then also come up with even you can use an existing email and your password for your email, but they prefer a brand new email and password for your quantum card. So I'd say if you can get that, set that up ahead of time.
Go ahead and do that because you know how it is. You got to kind of register that that email as a Gmail or a Yandex or whatever you're using, just set it up so that when you go in, you've got a brand new email that hasn't even been used. It's ready to go, and you can plug that in.
So that's really what you need. You got the biometric fingerprint, thumbprint, maybe the username, maybe not. Password, five-digit PIN code, new email, and password to the new email.
That's kind of everything that you'll need to get into your Quantum account with your Quantum account card. That card is made of titanium. It's about three times as thick as a normal credit card.
It's got three chips in it. It's carrying a lot of your information, like your biometric and other stuff, on there. And it's, I'm not going to say destructible, but it's pretty much that way.
That card you don't charge with. All you do is move money into your bank accounts with it from your quantum account, your QFS account, quantum financial system account.
Okay, and that's where all your proceeds from your currency exchanges, your ZIM redemption, your RNR theoretically is going to be in there, and your Doge, if we get it now, is also supposed to be in that quantum account. Then you find out what each amount is when you when they say, okay, we got this account ready for you.
Okay, there's some money in it. Well, what is it? It's not my exchange money yet because we haven't done that yet. Okay. Okay. So you've got R and R of X number of dollars, and you've got a Doge payment. Well, write those amounts down so you'll remember those for later.
You know, you just have those. Doesn't really matter. It's just money that's going to be theoretically in your account before you do your currency exchanges and your ZIM redemption.
So it's all going to be lumped into one big account, and then you're going to move money from that account into your primary Wells account initially, Wells Fargo accounts, and by the way, we did hear that Bank of America, Citibank, and Chase will open branches seven days a week. They are doing everything they can to be your friend and to try to get you to do something with them.
Obviously, Wells is not going to do it, and neither is Bronco Santander or Santander Bank. Those two banks are not going to be open seven days a week, but the other banks will. And are we going to need retail banking anymore? Not really, not really, guys. It's meaning going into your current Chase Bank or your current Bank of America Bank.
Well, theoretically, this puts you in the status, if you're a Zim holder, of being considered a sovereign, a sovereign by Wells Fargo, they're already calling us that. They're referring to Zim holders as sovereigns already.
And so, what's interesting there is any banking that you do theoretically would be with two options: a private office that maybe Wells has set up that you can utilize, or create your own private office, or Premier Banking, meaning they're top end what they used to call wealth management bankers. They're kind of they kind of renamed those guys, I think, Premier Bankers.
And if we need something, you know, they're they should be more than willing to help us and do some things, and maybe we do need to go to a wealth management office or a premier banker office to do those things, or maybe we have the premier banker meet us and take us to lunch. You know, I mean that's very doable too, depending on your situation, of course.
So, let's see if you okay, Sue. Let's see if there's anything else that makes sense that has come in today. I think we covered redemption center thing I wanted to cover. Of course, don't get there more than 10 minutes early. 800 numbers.
We don't know for sure if Canada will have its own number. We've heard that in the past, and the U.S. will have its own number. It may be, or possibly they'll share the number, but Canada, don't be calling our 800 number, tying up the line. No, I'm just kidding. We'll see.
Hopefully, there's a separate number for Canada, and we'll have a separate number for us. Med beds are actively being used now, and have been for months that I'm aware of for the military and those children that were trafficked that they pulled out of tunnels and all that.
A lot of those kids have gone in to the bed beds to try to resurrect their lives and reduce or eliminate the trauma and possibly the memory to some extent. I don't think they can fully erase the memory.
Memory has a way of coming back. We know that from our secret space force contacts. So let's just say it this way: they have used them. They're continuing to use them.
They're ready for us to go, and it's just going to be a matter of us getting into the redemption center and letting them know, hey, we are a zim holder, you know that already, and I have a dire need, and boom, boom, boom, I'd like to get in to the med bed as soon as possible.
Boom, then they set that up and make a list ahead of time before you get in the med bed center of the things you would like to do in the med bed, what would you like to be changed in your physical body, and then in your mental situation?
You know, is there anything you want to have downloaded that you want to be good at, like tennis or golf, like Sue wants to be? She's very good at tennis, but she wants to even be better, so she thinks she can beat me in tennis. Well, we'll see. Maybe she could be fun. Be fun trying with it too. Yeah, we'll definitely see how that goes.
And then, so anything like that for me, you guys know it's languages, it's music. I plan to try to crank those up in the med bed. Voice, get my singing voice back. You know, it's all going to be something really amazing. I know it's going to be great. But have that list made up.
You should have a about a 15 minute pre med bed interview with the assistants there that could enter that information and make sure they understand what it is you want to try to accomplish in the med bed, and then boom, it it can go quickly. It can go.
I mean, we're talking whole limbs being regenerated in 20 minutes. I'm talking a guy with no arm, no leg, and one guy, one guy, military was in there, had one leg, but no arms.
So basically, he's got one leg missing and both arms missing from the shoulder down, 42 minutes done and done. 42 minutes. I mean, it's pretty fantastic, guys. It is amazing, and I'm looking forward to it.
What else? I don't know that there's anything, and I'm okay. We know there's clean. I did think of something else. There is cleanup going on.
I I think this weekend, from what I heard today, could be a major cleanup period over this weekend, the other thing I heard was about ah yes the EBS the EB the Electronic Broadcast Emergency not electronic emergency broadcast system which is the one you see on TV the Emergency alert system, the EAS, is on our cell phones. You've seen the Amber Alerts and all those. You know they're supposed to use those too.
Well, they had been pre-loaded already, and now they're actually being loaded with that information for the broadcast on EBS and EAS, and the timeline was it was going to be to be used shortly.
Now you guys know as well as I do. I don't like the word shortly, and I don't like the word soon. But they did use the term shortly when describing when the EBS is going to kick in. My gut is it'll kick in as we are starting our exchanges, but could be could preceded, might come after. We'll see. But that is interesting.
They're already preloaded, and now they're loading the data, the information. I heard something. Oh gosh, yeah. CNN servers, AI servers, were intercepted by the good guys. I think it was either yesterday or the day before, and that's pretty cool.
Listen, they're going to keep an eye on all the media broadcast companies because this stuff has to go out, and if for some reason certain broadcast networks decide they don't want to air it. They're going to get their license removed, and the military will put their people in to continue those broadcasts and do those broadcasts.
Well, that's already staged and ready. So don't be surprised. Like Sue's always saying, you know, think ahead, you know, plan. Are we going to need stock up with anything for a couple weeks or whatever? It's a good idea to prepare with some food and water and whatever else you might need. I don't anticipate major blackouts.
I don't anticipate that most of the time, if internet or electricity is going off, or phone service is funky, which it has been recently for a lot of people, cell phone service, it's because they're doing arrests in certain areas where they don't want them to communicate, not there to take us in a bad put us in a bad way. You know they know who we are, and I say if if it's not a bad idea to stock up with a little food, it's just hard to say whether it's going to be anything more than that, but it's always good to prepare and have a little bit of reserve.
Whether it's gasoline, whether it's food, water, make sure you're all set that you could make it for at least a week, maybe two weeks, just in case, just in case, just saying. So that's really the way I would say we're ready to go. EBS is good to go.
They're loading it, loading it now, and they're saying it could be used shortly. That's interesting to me because I think the EBS is going to bring some disclosure out, which we've had a little bit of it leaking out, a little bit of it dripping dripping out a little bit at a time.
You guys have seen some of the same things. I think I think if I understood it right, and I didn't see this, even Fox brought out something a day or so ago about the med beds, and I didn't catch it. One of my contacts did, so it's just we're close, guys.
We're super close, and I think we're ready to ready to get this thing launched.
So let's thank Sue. Thank Bob for everything that they've done tonight. Was really good. I thought on both counts excellent.
And you know, I want to thank our Big Call Universe audience of Big Call listeners that you know we're hearing still hitting 160 or more countries with 20 plus million listeners. You know, so the word is getting out through the satellite system, and that's good news for everybody and for us.
And thank you, Jeannie. Every call, Jeannie does a really nice job for us bringing bringing gospel, scripture, and other information to us. Very good, Jeannie. And Jeannie, this is the one time I'm hoping we don't go to the eighth, which is Tuesday.
From what I'm hearing, we should get this prior to that. So let's see what happens between now and Labor Day, Labor Day Monday. Let's see what happens. You know, it could be that we we get this thing started before then, all right. So let's thank you everybody for listening. Again, appreciate it so much.
. But I'm looking forward to this going, Guys, as you are, and so let's just pray the call out, and I'll look forward to a really good weekend.
Everybody, have a great weekend. All right. Hopefully, we'll talk Tuesday. Hopefully, we've got numbers, and we're underway by then. All right. We'll see what happens. God bless you guys.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
GLOBAL INVESTORS MOVE $46 BILLION INTO CASH: JOBS SHOCK REIGNITES RATE RISKS AND REPRICES GLOBAL CAPITAL
Global investors are moving billions toward money-market funds and shorter-duration assets as a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report, elevated oil prices and bond-market stress increase the risk that interest rates will remain higher for longer.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
GLOBAL INVESTORS MOVE $46 BILLION INTO CASH: JOBS SHOCK REIGNITES RATE RISKS AND REPRICES GLOBAL CAPITAL
Global investors are moving billions toward money-market funds and shorter-duration assets as a stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs report, elevated oil prices and bond-market stress increase the risk that interest rates will remain higher for longer.
OVERVIEW
$46.1 Billion Into Money Funds: Global money-market funds attracted $46.1 billion in net inflows through September 2, the largest weekly inflow since early August, as investors became more cautious amid bond-market and geopolitical stress.
Jobs Shock Changes the Fed Equation: U.S. employers added 162,000 jobs in August, nearly three times the expected gain, while unemployment remained at 4.1%, putting a September Fed rate hike firmly back on the table.
Capital Is Being Repositioned: Higher Treasury yields and uncertainty over inflation and interest rates are encouraging investors to favor liquidity and shorter-term assets, creating another measurable shift in global capital allocation.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. $46.1 Billion Moves Toward Cash
Global money-market funds recorded $46.1 billion in net inflows during the week ending September 2.
Reuters reported that this was the largest weekly inflow since August 5, reflecting investor caution as global bonds sold off and U.S.-Iran tensions increased.
Money-market funds provide investors with liquidity and relatively short-duration exposure. The movement therefore offers a measurable indication that investors were becoming more defensive.
The significance is not simply the amount of money involved.
It is where investors chose to put it.
2. Investors Are Reducing Long-Duration Exposure
Bond-fund inflows slowed to approximately $10 billion, their lowest level in five weeks, while short-term bond funds experienced their strongest inflows since July.
At the same time, government and corporate bond funds experienced outflows.
This suggests that investors are not necessarily abandoning fixed income altogether.
Instead, they are becoming more cautious about locking money into longer-term securities while the direction of inflation and interest rates remains uncertain.
That distinction is important.
3. The U.S. Jobs Report Delivered a Major Surprise
Today's employment report changed the financial picture again.
The U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs in August, far above the approximately 56,000 jobs economists had expected.
The unemployment rate remained at 4.1%, while labor-force participation increased to 61.6% from 61.4% in July.
The report indicates that the U.S. labor market was considerably stronger than investors had anticipated.
That matters because a resilient labor market gives the Federal Reserve less reason to quickly ease monetary policy if inflation remains elevated.
4. Rate-Hike Expectations Returned
The stronger jobs data immediately changed expectations for the Federal Reserve's September meeting.
Reuters reported that markets increased the probability of a September rate hike to approximately 61%, reversing some of the easing in expectations that followed Fed Governor Christopher Waller's comments on Thursday.
That creates a significant shift from just one day earlier.
Yesterday: markets were becoming more confident that the Fed could hold rates.
Today: stronger employment data have put another rate increase firmly back into consideration.
The next major test will be the upcoming inflation data, which will help determine whether the Fed can justify another increase.
5. Treasury Yields Rose as the Cost of Money Was Repriced
The jobs report immediately pushed Treasury yields higher.
Reuters reported that the 10-year Treasury yield moved toward 4.80%, while the stronger employment data reinforced expectations for potentially tighter monetary policy.
This is significant because the Treasury market is already dealing with several pressures:
Large U.S. deficits + heavy Treasury issuance + elevated inflation risks + higher oil prices + changing Fed expectations.
Today's jobs report adds another factor:
A stronger economy may allow interest rates to remain higher for longer.
6. Oil Adds Another Inflationary Pressure
The employment shock is occurring against a backdrop of elevated energy prices.
Renewed U.S.-Iran tensions have pushed Brent crude toward $100 per barrel, increasing the possibility that higher energy costs could slow the progress of disinflation.
This creates a difficult environment for the Federal Reserve.
A strong labor market argues against rapid monetary easing, while higher energy prices create another potential source of inflation.
For investors, that combination makes liquidity and shorter-duration investments more attractive.
WHY IT MATTERS
Economy
Higher interest rates increase financing costs for households, businesses and governments.
A stronger labor market could support economic activity, but sustained high borrowing costs can eventually weigh on investment and consumption.
Markets
The movement of $46.1 billion into money-market funds shows that investors are actively repositioning capital.
Today's jobs report adds another reason for that caution by increasing uncertainty about the future path of interest rates.
Policy
The Federal Reserve now faces a difficult combination of stronger employment, elevated oil prices and persistent inflation risk.
The September policy decision will depend heavily on whether upcoming inflation data confirm or contradict today's employment signal.
Global System
U.S. interest rates influence borrowing costs and capital flows around the world.
When investors can earn attractive returns from relatively liquid dollar assets, capital can move toward the United States and away from riskier or lower-yielding markets.
That can place additional pressure on emerging-market currencies, sovereign debt and global liquidity.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
Dollar strength: Higher U.S. rates can increase demand for dollar-denominated assets and support the dollar relative to some other currencies.
Exchange rates: A change in Fed expectations can produce rapid currency movements.
Capital flows: The $46.1 billion money-market inflow demonstrates that global investors are actively changing their allocation toward liquidity.
Emerging-market currencies: Higher U.S. yields can make it more expensive for emerging economies to attract and retain foreign capital.
Purchasing power: Higher oil prices combined with currency movements can increase the cost of imported energy and other internationally traded goods.
For foreign-currency holders, the important signal is not one day's dollar movement.
It is whether higher U.S. yields begin creating a sustained change in global capital allocation.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
Pillar 1: Assets
The movement of $46.1 billion into money-market funds is evidence that investors are reassessing duration and liquidity.
If the market increasingly expects higher rates to persist, capital may continue moving away from long-duration assets and toward cash, short-term securities and other liquid instruments.
That represents a change in how global capital is being positioned.
Pillar 2: Debt
Higher interest rates create greater pressure on highly indebted governments, companies and households.
The issue is particularly important for governments because every refinancing cycle can occur at a different—and potentially higher—cost.
Today's jobs report therefore matters beyond employment.
A stronger economy can give the Fed more room to keep rates elevated, while higher rates increase the cost of financing an already heavily indebted global system.
CONCLUSION
The $46.1 billion flow into global money-market funds was already an important signal that investors were becoming more cautious.
Today's employment report gives that capital movement a new context.
The U.S. economy added 162,000 jobs—nearly three times expectations—while unemployment remained at 4.1%, forcing markets to reconsider the possibility of another Federal Reserve rate increase.
At the same time, Treasury yields moved higher and oil remained elevated because of the continuing conflict surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
The result is a financial system facing stronger-than-expected U.S. employment, elevated energy prices, higher Treasury yields and investors actively shifting toward liquidity.
That combination matters because the global financial system is highly sensitive to the price of money.
For foreign currency holders, the next phase may be determined less by whether the Fed cuts or raises rates at one particular meeting and more by whether higher U.S. yields begin producing a sustained redistribution of global capital.
When investors move billions toward liquidity while the cost of money rises, the movement of capital itself becomes a signal that the global financial system is repricing risk, return and duration.

Tishwash: The Central Bank promotes a culture of compliance among exchange companies in southern Iraq.
The Central Bank of Iraq, through its branch in Basra, held a specialized training course to promote a culture of compliance and combat money laundering and terrorist financing, with broad and active participation from exchange companies operating in the southern governorates of Iraq.
The session addressed the outputs of the national assessment report and the results of the mutual assessment report on money laundering and terrorist financing risks in the Republic of Iraq, in addition to the responsibilities and supervisory procedures incumbent upon non-bank financial institutions, foremost among them exchange companies.
The session emphasized the importance of raising awareness of financial risks and strengthening compliance procedures, which contributes to protecting financial institutions and supporting the safety and stability of the Iraqi financial sector, especially in light of the role played by exchange companies in the movement of cash and financial transactions in the southern governorates.
The session witnessed broad interaction and participation from exchange companies, reflecting the sector’s interest in developing institutional performance, keeping pace with regulatory requirements, and understanding the implications of national and international assessment results on daily work procedures.
This step comes as part of the Central Bank of Iraq's efforts to promote education, training and capacity building, along with supervision and regulation, with the aim of preventing risks and promoting sound practices in non-bank financial institutions.
Organizing these training programs in the Basra branch is an important step to expand awareness and compliance in the southern governorates, and to enhance direct communication between the Central Bank and the entities under its supervision, in order to support the development of the financial sector and raise the efficiency of its employees. link
Tishwash: Faisal I Dinar for 150 million... Auction of old coins has been ongoing in Baghdad since 1952
Every Saturday morning, seasoned collectors gather at the Iraqi Philatelic and Numismatic Society building to attend an auction where enthusiasts display coins that have not lost their value despite 70 years having passed since their cancellation. Deals are made for rare specimens. Jawad Kazem, the society's secretary, says that collectors prefer the money of the royal era, whether paper or metal. The price of the 100 dinar note that contains the image of Faisal I reached 150 million Iraqi dinars. One of them reveals in an interview with 964 Network that interest has reached the small denominations, until a 100 fils note issued in 1955 was sold for one million dinars.
Demand for the king's money
“The idea behind the auction is to serve stamp and coin collectors, where different stamps and coins are displayed and exchanged,” said Jawad Kazem, secretary of the Iraqi Philatelic and Numismatic Society, in an interview with 964 Network . He explained that the auction opens every Saturday morning at the Society’s headquarters in the auction hall.
Regarding the history of the auction, Jawad says, “The auction appeared in 1952, one year after the establishment of the association, and enthusiasts quickly showed interest in conducting exchange and purchase transactions. Since then, the auction has been active, frequented by enthusiasts coming from Baghdad and the provinces.”
Jawad describes the auction as “a cultural and social meeting place for enthusiasts and collectors of stamps and coins, and it has also become a center for buying and selling the rarest coins.”
Regarding the rarest coins on display, Jawad explains that “the royal paper currency is the rarest, followed by the metal currency. The association has displayed rare items for coin collectors and they have been sold.”
100 dinars is equivalent to 150 million.
Ahmed Kamel, a member of the association’s administrative board, speaks of a huge difference in the prices of the royal currency compared to the republic, due to the short lifespan of the royal era, which arouses the curiosity of enthusiasts and drives them to acquire and learn about it.
Kamel says about prices that the price of “the 100 Royal Dinar note, which includes a picture of Faisal I, starts from 150 million dinars and above, and the prices of some currencies increase if they were issued on important dates, such as the currency of Faisal II that was issued in 1949, or such as the quarter dinar note that was also issued by the Central Bank of Iraq during the reign of Faisal II.”
Regarding methods of detecting forgery, Kamel says, “There are several points that can be relied upon to uncover the tricks of forgers, such as checking the watermark and the type of paper, and I believe it is difficult to forge.”
100 fils equals one million dinars
Abu Ramzi speaks at length about the prices of small denominations, especially coins, and says, “A coin of the 100 fils denomination was sold for 200,000 dinars, while the same denomination, but issued in 1955, was sold for about one million Iraqi dinars.” link

Tishwash: Small banknote shortage causes daily disruption in Kirkuk markets
Merchants and residents in Kirkuk, northern Iraq, are increasingly struggling to obtain 250-dinar ($0.19), 500-dinar ($0.38) and 1,000-dinar ($0.76) banknotes, with traders reporting shortages of small denominations and growing difficulties using worn or damaged notes in daily transactions.
Abbas Ahmed, a shopkeeper in Kirkuk’s Doctors Street market, told Shafaq News that obtaining the three denominations has become increasingly difficult. “When customers pay with larger notes, some shops ask them to buy another item rather than give them their change.”
Some small-denomination notes reaching shops are also torn, dirty or heavily worn, making merchants and customers reluctant to accept them.
Samer Abdullah, a currency exchanger on Republic Street, noted a sharp increase in demand for small denominations, while supplies remain inconsistent.
Residents and merchants often turn to exchange shops for smaller notes, but the quantities available fluctuate. Some notes brought in for exchange are already damaged and need to be replaced rather than returned to circulation.
Small-denomination notes change hands more frequently than larger ones, making them more vulnerable to wear and tear, Abdullah explained.
Describing the shortage as a daily problem, Hamza al-Jubouri, a wholesaler in Kirkuk’s Citadel Market, told Shafaq News that small amounts of change are often needed in wholesale and retail transactions, leaving merchants with limited options when the required denominations are unavailable.
Some traders hold on to 250-dinar, 500-dinar, and 1,000-dinar notes rather than spend them, fearing they will be unable to replace them later. This further reduces the number of these notes circulating in the market.
Shafaq News’ review of currency issuance data shows that the number of 1,000-dinar notes rose from 718 million in 2022 to 775 million in 2026. The number of 250-dinar notes increased from 795 million to 818 million, while 500-dinar notes fell slightly from 147 million to 145.4 million.
Together, the three denominations accounted for about 1.738 billion notes in 2026, compared with roughly 1.660 billion in 2022, an increase of about 78.4 million notes.
The figures do not indicate how many of those notes are physically available in shops or remain in good enough condition for daily use. They reflect issuance data rather than the number of notes actually circulating or the proportion that has become damaged.
The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) continues to list 250-dinar, 500-dinar and 1,000-dinar notes among the country’s officially circulating denominations. It has also stated that older notes remain legal tender alongside newer issues.
In an interview with Shafaq News, Economist Ali Khalil said the availability of small denominations should be measured not only by the number of notes issued but also by the number that remain fit for circulation.
Frequent handling makes small-denomination notes particularly vulnerable to damage, meaning some of the issued supply may have been removed from circulation or require replacement.
Khalil pointed out that the existence of more than one billion notes across the three denominations does not necessarily indicate a surplus in the market. “Damaged notes may no longer be usable even if they remain part of the official issuance figures.”
He called for stronger mechanisms to replace damaged notes, ensure a steady supply of new notes and monitor the movement of cash through banks, exchange shops and merchants.
The CBI has procedures for handling damaged banknotes, including criteria for their replacement depending on the type and extent of damage. An electronic service is also available through the Ur platform to submit requests for the replacement of damaged banknotes.
In 2020, the central bank reinstated penalties related to shortages of 1,000-dinar, 500-dinar, and 250-dinar notes, effective Oct. 1 of that year, under rules governing the circulation and replacement of banknotes and their counting and sorting.
Office worker Suhad Ibrahim told Shafaq News that consumers are among those most affected because they have little control over the availability of small denominations when making everyday purchases.
Customers who pay more than the price of an item sometimes do not receive their full change or are asked to buy another item to avoid losing the remaining amount.
The shortage is particularly noticeable in shops, markets and public transportation, where small cash payments are common.
Despite their low face value, 250-dinar, 500-dinar and 1,000-dinar notes remain an important part of Iraq’s cash-based economy. While official figures show an increase in the number of 250-dinar and 1,000-dinar notes since 2022 and a slight decline in 500-dinar notes, merchants in Kirkuk continue to report difficulty obtaining small denominations in usable condition. link
