March 27, 2025 Mnt Goat News Brief
Guten Tag everyone: I have some excellent good news for you today.
GIVE A GIFT TO MNT GOAT
I decided to allow everyone to give a Free-will GIFT to Mnt Goat on PayPal if you so desire. Here is the link below.
Since 2013, I have taken my own time from my gasthaus business to research and document findings about the revaluation and reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. At this time more than ever I do not need to spend my time doing all this. My time is hard to find, as I have to hold down two formal jobs already due to COVID just to keep the business going. So, I do it out of charity and love with the understanding that all of us do NOT have the time to go do our own research. We are busy with our jobs, our daily lives and raising our children. As I am saying this take time and is like a third job.
I recommend $10 dollars a month or whatever you can afford. Do you realize I write eight (8) Newsletters every month. I have to investigate the news and try to pull out the FACTS, then pull off the articles from Iraqi news channels, translate them, talk to my contact in Iraq and then write and publish the Newsletter. Do you think perhaps a little gift might show some appreciation for all this hard work? Just asking…. Still only a hand full of readers help out each month. Enough said….. The future of the Newsletter depends upon you.
Let’s all try to chip in!
Matthew 6:4
“So that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”

STATUS OF THE RV
As we are about to round the corner into April, let me emphasis one more time that these RV intel gurus are playing head games with many of their followers. This prejudices them when they come to my blog to read about the FACTS. The FACTS don’t sell subscriptions or get people interested in listening. Why? It’s because the FACTS are contrary to the lies being put out. You all heard the lies:
- The rate is in the budget
- If we could just get the budget tables, the RV would happen
- Lower denominations are out in Kurdistan (said years ago)
- We are going to the bank prior to the new rate on FOREX coming out (like we investors are going to get some special exchange privileges? Really?)
- Etc., etc., etc.
So today, all I can tell you again is let’s look at yet more of the FACTS to see just what state Iraq is in and where they are going in the near future. I am not going to lie to you.
Iraq has made tremendous strides in all areas since January 2023. Folks I cannot change reality but I can give you HOPE. I know the reality of the situation in Iraq may not very popular with us investors because the RV is not happening, but if you just stick to the FACTS and stop listening to this garbage from people like TNT Tony, Bruce (big stupid call), Frank26, MarkZ and many other idiots, you might learn something and begin to realize that Iraq is truly on its way to a renaissance beyond your imagination. Then take what the prophets keep telling us and you can clearly see that there is huge prosperity and abundance coming to us beyond our wildest dreams. God is telling us to just settle down, relax and he will bring it to us all on His time and His terms. Then knowing this, pay attention to what is going on and the breakthroughs with corruption and all it’s exposure.
Breakthrough with the IQD:
😊I need everyone to go to my Articles Section today and read the entire article titled “AL-NUSAIRI: 2025 INDICATORS: A STRONG ECONOMY, A RECOVERING DINAR, AND DEVELOPING BANKS.” Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that his predictions, made in previous articles and statements, that our economic indicators in 2025 herald a strong and robust economy based on the availability of foreign currency reserves exceeding $108 billion and 163 tons of gold, sufficient to cover imports for 18 months. Al-Nusairi also said in an interview with Al-Eqtisad News that the local currency issued amounted to approximately 100 trillion dinars, and our dinar is recovering and gradually returning towards an exchange rate against the US dollar towards the equilibrium price targeted by the Central Bank.
So, let’s hold our proverbial horses and not go off with a half-cocked reaction to Al-Nusairo’s statements in the article of today. Lets’ pay close attention to the words he said. He said “gradual” which is exactly what I keep emphasizing on my blog. He did not say tomorrow or next week. He merely said “gradual” and so when it happens, it happens.
Then he talks about an “equilibrium” price that is being targeted by the CBI. Operative words are “equilibrium” and “targeted”. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy is this not what my CBI contact has been telling us all along? She said that the parallel market must be cracked to drive down the informal price of the dollar to the “official” CBI rate. Appears to me they are cracking the parallel market. I told everyone this will not happen overnight and will take weeks to materialize once the U.S. ends sending paper cash to Iraq. This means that the dinar, as it is still pegged to the dollar, will also “gradually” go up in rate. So, what is this “equilibrium” price exactly they are targeting?
The CBI is not going to divulge this target rate to us but we do know they told us it is at the “official” rate or very close to it. Then we were told when this happens this will trigger the Project to Delete the Zeros and so on and so forth. Again, the word “trigger”.
Remember that I was worried when I heard all this recent news about the decision by the CBI to go forward with their digital dinar. Would they still conduct the Project to Delete the Zeros? Would Iraq still have a paper currency? What would happen to our dinar that we hold? Should we have been worried? I then listened to the news going forward from that week and we then learned the answers to these important questions. But what happened was I took my time, relaxed and kept listening to the news. I did not go off half-cocked. No knee-Jerk reaction. The FACTS will always eventually surface. There is no need to lie about the future. They will tell us.
Yes, much of the news is delayed as many times it already happened by the time when we get it. What is wrong with this method of distributing the news? Even though it is untimely, we can still put the picture of the puzzle together to see where they are going and how they plan to get there.
Good News – Let’s look at some of the other very recent articles in the news from Iraq:
😊“AL-SUDANI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING A STATE OF RECOVERY, GROWTH, PROGRESS, AND PROSPERITY.” :
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity, and that we are working to advance this process. He emphasized that establishing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects. Did he say establishing “security and stability” ? Oh boy I have heard these terms many times already. Do you believe it yet?
😊“AL-MANDLAWI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING STABILITY AND HAS AN ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR INVESTMENTS.” :
First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mohsen al-Mandalawi affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is interested in developing its relations with its brothers, neighbors, and friends. He also stated that Iraq invites reputable companies to invest in Iraq and benefit from its internal stability and attractive environment.
The consulting firms EY and Oliver Wyman reviewed plans to reform and upgrade the public and private banking sectors in line with international standards and facilitate the integration of Iraqi banks into the international financial network.
😊“GEOPOLITICAL FLUCTUATIONS AND OIL MARKETS: HOW CAN IRAQ PROTECT ITS ECONOMY FROM SHOCKS?” :
The Iraqi economy: financial hedging and relative stability
Despite global challenges, Salih affirmed that Iraq’s financial situation is stable, with the first quarter of 2025 drawing to a close without any financial disruptions. The country’s fiscal policy is also operating with high discipline, ensuring the provision of salaries, pensions, and social welfare, in addition to the continued implementation of service projects according to the government’s program.
Finally, is Iraq heading towards financial stability?
While the world experiences severe volatility in oil markets, Iraq’s fiscal policy appears to be moving steadily toward hedging and stability, while ensuring the sustainability of public revenues. As the three-year budget continues, the question remains: Will Iraq remain immune to the coming economic storms, or will geopolitical challenges impose a new reality on global oil markets?
Now that we had all this good news, let’s look at the other side. The side that still has to be dealt with. The negative side of Iraq. We can’t deny reality and these issues still linger with Iran and corruption. Remember Iraq is in the middle east, still a very volatile area of the world. Iraq has been a “bad boy” in the past and we all witnessed the corruption and money laundering over these past two decades. The fact is this is why they still sit today without a normalized currency. They can’t escape this reality and even though they are making strides in the right direction, a very conscious effort to rehabilitate themselves, there are still lingering consequences to face from the past. The news from Iraq has told us many times in the past that the U.S. is using economic warfare to mold Iraq to their bidding. Do you believe the RV is going to happen while this attitude towards Iraq prevails? When will this U.S. attitude change?
If you read the full articles below you can see that we can also interpret this news as good news for Iraq too since the U.S. is finally taking serous interest in Iraq with good intentions to help it. But Iraq does not know what is best for itself, at least this is the “conquers” attitude still towards Iraq. I am talking mostly about the Iraq sovereignty. When will they truly regain their full sovereignty again?
Let’s now look at the other side of the equation in the recent news from Iraq:
☹“AN ECONOMIST DETAILS POTENTIAL US PUNITIVE MEASURES AGAINST IRAQ.” :
Economics professor Saleh Rashid confirmed on Wednesday (March 26, 2025) that America is trying, through its current economic war, to use all the punitive means at its disposal through its large financial and economic infrastructure, indicating that Washington has many cards to play in the Iraqi scene.
☹“MP: AMERICA HAS NO OTHER MEANS OF PRESSURING IRAQ THAN ECONOMIC MEANS.” :
Member of Parliament Amer Hussein confirmed on Wednesday that America has no other cards than the economic card and financial pressures to confront Iraq with in order to exert pressure and achieve its goals. Hussein told / Al-Maalouma /, “America has no other cards than the economic cards against Iraq if it wants to tighten the noose on the country, such that it will move towards restricting the movement of Iraqi funds held in American banks.”
😊 If you take the time to read the article titled “PM’S ADVISOR: IRAQ’S OIL EXPORTS TO THE US INCREASED BY 110% IN TWO YEARS” you will soon learn that the situation is much, much different than in the Dr Shabibi days.I mean much better is a much better way…lol..lol.. So why is the dinar then still being suppressed? In other articles today we learned why. The reinstatement of the dinar is called “leverage” the U.S. has over Iraq. When will the finally let it go? Let’s look at the details of this situation in this article today. The economic situation in Iraq is hardly about to crash.
The Prime Minister’s Financial Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that Iraq’s oil exports to the United States have increased by more than 110% in two years.
Salih told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States extends to many diverse investment, trade, and economic fields. Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States has witnessed remarkable developments in recent years.” He noted that “the volume of trade between the two countries has more than doubled over the past two years, with Iraq’s oil exports to the United States increasing by more than 110%, and Iraq’s imports from the United States increasing significantly over the past two years, with the value of this trade ranging between $9 and $10 billion.”
He explained that “Iraq’s imports were primarily in automobiles, transportation equipment, and engineering and electrical equipment. However, the trade balance remained in Iraq’s favor, with a difference of $5.7 billion, reflecting the continued superiority of Iraqi exports to the United States, particularly in the crude oil sector.”
So, you see even some articles don’t tell the entire story if you don’t read all the news and stop skipping over many of these juicy ones. All I can say is WOW, WOW, WOW! But I assure you there is going to come a time when this game is all over and it will be Iraq who will have the upper hand and all the leverage and not the U.S.
☹“SOURCE: IRAN-US NEGOTIATIONS TO BE HELD IN THE UAE AFTER NOWRUZ HOLIDAY” :
A media activist close to Iranian political officials revealed on Tuesday (March 25, 2025) that “the indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington will turn into direct negotiations in the coming days in Abu Dhabi.” The informed media source added, speaking to Baghdad Today, that “negotiations will resume in Abu Dhabi, and this is a step toward achieving further calm.”
I put these articles down as a negative only because of the issue with Iran and its influence over Iraq must settled. These left-over Iranian militias (Nori Al-Maliki’s Mobilization Forces) must be dealt with. Nori Al-Maliki too must be dealt a blow of justice for what he did to Iraq. When will this happen? Remember it was under his watch that ISIS was allowed to come into Iraq. Also under his watch he let the US prematurely withdraw its troops from Iraq. It was under his watch that the corruption and money laundering to Iran began. These networks with the currency auctions began.
What can the CBI do to gain liquidity in the banks?
☹Before discussing this question, you should first go read the article titled “EMPLOYEES WITHDRAW 8 TRILLION DINARS FROM BANKS IN TWO HOURS.. THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE SEEKS A SOLUTION.”
I quote from the article “Employee and retiree salaries, which amount to approximately 8 trillion dinars, are now paid electronically, but they are withdrawn within two hours, immediately emptying all banks. This must be addressed.”
Apparently, the CBI has NOT yet overcome the liquidity issue of stashes of cash outside the banking system.
There are two issues here to discuss with the Iraqi banking system:
First the article is telling us there is a crisis of confidence despite the electronic system that was put in place. Let me explain. The CBI put in place automatic electronic deposit for employees and retiree’s salaries. This done was to encourage this money to stay within the banks, while the employees use the ATMs just for small petty cash withdrawals. Thus also the strategy of all the ATMs throughout Iraq. This strategy was hoped would provide the bulk of the money to stay within the banks for loans and to thus allow the banks create banking products to turnover the methods of profit revenues for banks away from almost solely the currency auction spreads of the past. But what just happened with this last payroll cycle?
Secondly, remember the currency auctions are gone, so how will the banks make their money if not through other creative banking products? This is the second issue.
As the article title states, almost the entire payroll was withdrawn from the banks in 2 hours. WOW! WOW! WOW! So, do you think the CBI plans for liquidity in the banks is working? Just asking because many of you are still in denial of what is really happening in Iraq and the obstacles they face to be overcome. Why would they reinstate the dinar at a time like this?
I don’t want to sound negative, however when this happens this does not look good for the Iraqi banking system. Seems to me they still have a problem with these large stashes of cash outside the system. Do you see now why they may very well decide even to go “ALL” digital dinar in the near future. This of course would require much more infrastructure including wide use of advanced cell phones, digital wallets and other Point of Sale machines. I will add that maybe, just maybe the real issue is the value of the dinar over the dollar? Will raising the value of the dinar over the dollar force this change to occur. Maybe more strict limits too of how much money can be withdrawn in a period might help. Also maybe more incentives like higher interest rate or promo products might also help to keep the money in the banks.
Clarity of blog comments
Comment from John Tanner:
Mountain Goat, greetings, I’m sorry but in my opinion you’re a little bit off track about the digital currency aspect and how its unfolding. this is not needed for the RV and not needed to clamp down on Iranian corruption in Iraq. if you’re contact is saying this, she is just not being accurate in her assessment in my opinion
Reply Mnt Goat:
Guten Tag John. I need to clarify what you commented on in my blog. I do not understand the comments made. You show me anywhere in my Newsletters where I told my readers that the digital currency is needed for the RV or to fight Iran? Who told you this? Obviously, you are listening to these other intel gurus again and confused. I only report on the FACTS and I show articles and conversations with my CBI contact to back it all up. I recommend you take another look at my 03/25 Newsletter and read it a couple times to sink in.
Comment from Wader59:
From what I have seen here is that certain criteria needed to be met in order to get the RV. Once that criteria were met, they changed the criteria. None of these articles now show a real progress toward our ultimate goal of the RV. They only show the changes Iraq is experiencing. All countries go through similar changes. I am very confused now about what to anticipate. I see no light at the end of the tunnel.
Reply Mnt Goat:
Guten Tag Wader59. I just want to clarify your comment to the blog. So, for one more time, read my lips – THERE IS NO SET CRITERIA NECESSARY TO GET THE RV. Get it? How many times have I said in my blog to stop focusing on a series or a single event that will trigger the RV. You have more brains than that…don’t you? Yes, the articles show the changes that Iraq is going through. Yes, all countries coming out of a war situation, like what they did to Iraq show these changes. The problem in Iraq is that it’s been 20 years already and the past Obama/Biden administrations put such tight criteria on Iraq then they essentially tied their hands of any making any real progress, the same progress they told them they needed to make to move ahead. It is now an uphill battle to make progress. They needed the reinstatement to do exactly what they told them to do, but they held back the reinstatement as a carrot to force them to make the changes in their economy. So what comes first the chicken or the egg? These changes could have gone rapidly, if they had the reinstatement and their investors back online, such as what Dr Shabibi planned to do in 2013. Does this make any sense? No, it does not make any sense but that’s the way the Obama/Biden foreign policy played it. That’s been my point all along. This caused the real problems we are experiencing today in getting this RV.
So, this decades of corruption was absolutely intentional. It gave them time to funnel money to Iran and their pockets. You would think the foreign policy of the U.S. would move more aggressively to getting their currency back online.
In retrospect, just look at just these last 2 years with all the progress. Can’t you see it? This all should have been done decades ago. Why now? So, we need to look at today not yesterday – is the glass half empty or half full? You decide but mine is half full. Sounds like yours may even be empty? It’s the future culmination of all these changes that now are finally taking place that will bring the reinstatement of the dinar, which means bringing it back online to the global trading platforms.

______________________________________________
These prophecies are more important now than ever. They give us the strength, perseverance and hope that a better time is coming and that God’s Hand is at work behind the scenes. If you just take a second even to look around you at this past election cycle how ca you deny that God is at work. It is amazing and there is no other way that these events could have happened the way they turned out. But there is more to come, much more! Now that God has his biblical David re-elected we need to pay attention to what He does next.
God told us it will be an “hypnotic November” and turbulent until next June 2025 and so, isn’t it? Was He lying to us? Remember that these globalist have had it too good for too long and are not just going to lay down and let themselves be destroyed. They are going to fight until the very end. If all else fails the will get more and more desperate to overcome the good trying to rebuild and free our nation.
These prophecies today are powerful and I encourage everyone to listen carefully to them. Is there a connection to getting our long-awaited RV? Of course there is, and if you can’t see it yet then just wait and it will become more and more obvious to you how the crooked run U.S. administrations have corrupted Iraq and held it hostage since the 1991 and 2003 wars with the Bush, Obama and Biden administrations. But this control too is going to end and God is going to finally FREE the Iraqi people again.
NOTE: These prophecies just keep getting better and better, giving us HOPE of a bright future. But the real reason why I listen to them is that we can actually see what God says He will do taking place right in front of our noses. It is a confirmation to me that God is real and is still with us forever just as in biblical times.
From God to the PROPHET: Jonny Enlow
“ Get Ready For A Momentous April For “We The People “ “
Prophecy begins at the 12:00 mark.
_______________________________________
Next, I just had to bring you Tuesday’s prophecy. I was so excited when I listened to it. I trust Julie since her words have been an inspiration to me as we go through this difficult journey. So, this next prophecy is a “doozie”, yes a “real” doozie! I actually heard about the fall of two Justices years ago and so now this one is coming forward again. It must be it’s time.
“The Deep State is Being Irradicated from This Nation “
Prophecy begins at the 23:08 mark. Prophecy from Saturday March 22nd.
A Great Shaking is Coming to the Supreme Court:
- U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts will be exposed, sit for his own trial and then removed from office. He will be sentenced for TREASON.
- Roberts is deeply connected to the sex trafficking world, padded his pockets in bribes by not allowing strong evidence of the 2020 election fraud to be exposed.
- Video, audio and email evidence will bring him down
- This will take place much sooner than you think
- There are other justices too that will be exposed and brought down
- Chuck Schumer you will not be a senator much longer
- Schumer will be convicted of TREASON
- Clintons will be exposed in a major way
- Democrats will have to hand over corrupt fellow Democrat and govt employees politicians for bargaining chips to save their own skin
Sorry I do not want to make this blog about bible school lessons however, in Julie Green’s prophecy today it is so obvious what God is doing. God’s hand is at work today as she states her prophetic word then reviews what is in Deuteronomy 7:20-24. From this biblical passage we can then begin to see what God is doing to clean out this nation(s) from the wicked and corrupt.
I quote from a bible passage of Deuteronomy:
“Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God. The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little. You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed. He will give their kings into your hand, and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you; you will destroy them.”
If you study the bible you can find out that Deuteronomy is traditionally attributed to Moses, who is believed to have delivered its teachings just before the Israelites entered the Promised Land. Composed around the end of the 40 years of wandering in the wilderness, this book takes the form of speeches delivered by Moses to the Israelites. When I researched all this my jaw dropped as God is telling us we are about to enter the land of “milk and honey”. You may ask what the hell is that? You ask only because you are ignorant of the biblical Exodus story and what God promised the Israelites when they left Egypt from their enslavement.
Of course, not literal milk and honey for us. This is metaphorically speaking. What Julie says God is telling us we are now entering the end phase of the cleanup, the end is near. Just as the Israelites wondered in the desert then finally came to their destiny, we too are coming to the end of this battle of ending the corruption in the U.S. and freeing us of taxation burden, debt and corrupt politics. We are now in the last stage of this clean up. We are about to see the prosperity and abundance (milk and honey) God has been telling us about now for over a decade is to come. God used this passage in the bible to convey more clearly to Julie and us what he meant.
Who will remain in the government when all this is done? We watch and wait to see.
What form will this prosperity and abundance come to us? We watch and wait to see.
The question many are now going to ask is when will the RV come out?
For the RV, I will only say to relax and let this drama of cleaning up the corruption all play out first in the US Government and Iraq. How many times must I tell you it is the Obama/Biden foreign policies towards Iraq and their taunting with Iran that has been the major cause of corruption in Iraq and this has caused the holdup of the reinstatement. Is Iraq ready? Of course, and they have been since 2013.
How many times have I told everyone that you can’t separate the politics from this RV saga? Many intel gurus want to ignore it and go on with their petty news of everyday / any day lies? But followers of my blog know the TRUTH, don’t we? We have many tools at our disposal. We have prophecy, the news of the U.S. cleanup and Iraqi news itself to back up what is forecasted for the near future. We don’t have to lie or pretend. All we have to do is connect the dots. Yes, I keep saying the near future, but many of you are not listening. Hey folks, this is not going to take years. The President Trump administration has only been in office now for a little over 3 months. Look at all the exposure so far. God says this so far is just the tip of the iceberg. Give it a break. Let it play out. God has told us, if you were listening to these Julie Green prophecies you should already know that early summer 2025 things will finally calm down. What does this mean to you?
Folks, we must stick to the TRUTH as we are done with all the FAKE news and democrat lies. TRUTH is our weapon too to fight them.
_______________________________
PROPHECIES FULFILLED: How do we engage the prophecies? Are they really a voice from God? So, as we listen and time passes, we step back and analyze what happened and compare to the prophetic words spoken.
____________________________________
HOW DO WE KILL THE GIANTS OF DEBT, SOCIALISM AND SECULARISM?
Please, please listen VERY carefully to this prophecy. I cannot emphasize enough to spend the time to watch this one – “The Big E”. I am not saying its going to take 6-7 years to get the RV, but that the RV is part of the process along the way and will happen in the process of the prophecy fulfillment.
Do you remember these prophecies from 2007? This is our time now to fulfill these prophecies. So, let’s take a step back and rewind to review them. Then watch to see if Trump does orchestrate their fulfillment. I also believe this wiping out the debt is related to the new energy sources that are coming. In the meantime, the US will work at bringing down the cost of energy. But I believe this will only be a temporary measure until these new sources come.
Folks, I know you may be having a hard time seeing this, but all of this goes hand-in-hand with what we are looking for… the RV of the Iraqi dinar.
This prophecy is especially important and coincides with the more recent Feb 9th prophecy from Julie Green. Did you listen to it? WOW!

I am trying to get the TRUTH about why our President Trump is dismantling the Dept. of Education. You certainly are not going to get it from the democrats as they appose and lie about ANYTHING that the Trump administration is trying to do. Remember the democrats has four years to correct the system. Did they, do it? So, now you can learn what is ACTUALLY happening and why.

Pray, Pray, Pray & Pray some more!
Please try to remember to pray each and every day. In Hebrews 11:6, it underscores this principle of why we pray: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”
It is LENT time for us Catholics. The rosaries for me is my way to pray and has had a significant impact on my life and focus during this Easter season. I find it is good to remember the Stations of the Cross during lent and what our savior did for us. I know many of you may not be Catholics or even Christians but try to take a different approach this Easter. Try to see what all the fuss is about in Christ. Put yourself in Christ shoes (or should I say sandals) as an ordinary person in today’s world. You can quickly see that the nature of man has not changed very much and if Christ were born today, many would probably try to crucify him again. Have we not learned anything?

AL-NUSAIRI: 2025 INDICATORS: A STRONG ECONOMY, A RECOVERING DINAR, AND DEVELOPING BANKS.
Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nusairi confirmed that his predictions, made in previous articles and statements, that our economic indicators in 2025 herald a strong and robust economy based on the availability of foreign currency reserves exceeding $108 billion and 163 tons of gold, sufficient to cover imports for 18 months.
Al-Nusairi said in an interview with Al-Eqtisad News that the local currency issued amounted to approximately 100 trillion dinars, and our dinar is recovering and gradually returning towards an exchange rate against the US dollar towards the equilibrium price targeted by the Central Bank.
Our banks are developing and proceeding at a steady pace in accordance with the Central Bank’s strategy for reform, development, digital transformation and compliance with international standards. The number of Iraqi banks that have banking relations and accounts in solid international correspondent banks and deal with them directly in foreign transfers has reached approximately 20 banks and deal in multiple foreign currencies after leaving the electronic platform at the end of 2024.
He explained that the Central Bank is making great efforts to qualify, develop and assist other banks to join the twenty banks mentioned above, pointing out that it is closely monitoring the reality of monetary policy applications and the Central Bank’s procedures, and its close monitoring of international economic variables and their impact on the Iraqi economy and compliance with international standards that allow Iraq to be regular in the global banking system and control the movement and safety of foreign currency trading.
The banks’ commitment to implementing the new foreign transfer instructions and addressing obstacles as soon as possible has led to refuting the extremist and pessimistic views that say the exchange rate crisis will continue and our situation will be like that of Lebanon, Iran, Syria and Turkey when the dollar devoured the local currencies of these countries.
He explained that through our precise knowledge of the Central Bank’s monetary policy applications, its coverage of the entire demand for the US dollar in the trading market and through its various official outlets, and its control over the distribution of cash dollars according to a new method that the US Treasury praised and considered a globally advanced method for distributing the US dollar, and this is what I confirmed in my previous articles, that the dinar will recover and the crisis is temporary despite all the external and internal reasons.
At the end of his speech on the Central Bank, Al-Nusairi hoped that the next phase would be an evaluation and analysis phase of the achievements made in 2023 and 2024, and a re-evaluation of operating banks and licensed and unlicensed exchange offices, reclassifying them and developing their work in all fields in 2025. He also hoped that stability would be maintained in the financial and monetary system and that important steps would be taken to stimulate and enable the banking sector to contribute to investment and development, as stated in paragraph 7 of axis twelve in the government program for reforming the financial and banking sector, because banking reform is the beginning of comprehensive economic reform.

AL-SUDANI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING A STATE OF RECOVERY, GROWTH, PROGRESS, AND PROSPERITY.
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress, and prosperity, and that we are working to advance this process. He emphasized that establishing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects.
The Prime Minister’s Media Office said in a statement, seen by Al-Eqtisad News, that “Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, joined officers and fighters of the Land Forces Command for a Ramadan iftar meal.”
The statement added that “al-Sudani congratulated those present on the fasting of the holy month of Ramadan, stressing that the security and stability witnessed by the country is thanks to the sacrifices of the members of the security services of all kinds. He pointed to the improvement in security indicators, in light of security and stability, and the decline in terrorist operations, attacks and even criminal crime, stressing that imposing security and stability will enable the state to provide services and implement development and economic projects.”
Al-Sudani stressed – according to the statement – the necessity of securing the fighter’s entitlements and rights, especially those related to providing housing, indicating that “the Ministry of Defense has made significant progress in completing the requirements for distributing residential plots, and they will soon be distributed in serviced areas among members, as a government commitment, in addition to caring for the families of martyrs and the wounded, without whose sacrifices security and stability would not have been achieved in Iraq.”
The Prime Minister affirmed that “Iraq is witnessing a clear state of recovery, growth, progress and prosperity, and we are working to continue it,” stressing that “we must remain prepared, alert and vigilant, and this is achieved by adhering to basic principles.”
He added that “discipline, commitment, professionalism and readiness to sacrifice are military values that must be present, and leaders, officers, commanders and non-commissioned officers must instill them in their behavior towards army members.” He explained, “We need continuous training and updating its curricula to raise the level and readiness of army members to face various challenges.”
The Prime Minister explained that “the government has made significant strides in empowering the Iraqi army, with all its leadership, formations and types, especially in the field of armament.”
He continued, “Arming the army will be done through several projects that we are working to complete, in addition to rehabilitating the infrastructure of bases and camps. It is our duty to deliver all rights stipulated by laws and decisions to the families of martyrs and the wounded.”
Al-Sudani concluded his remarks by emphasizing that Iraq’s path is moving in the right direction toward brotherhood, solidarity, unity, and a unified national discourse for all Iraqis.

AL-MANDLAWI: IRAQ IS WITNESSING STABILITY AND HAS AN ATTRACTIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR INVESTMENTS.
First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mohsen al-Mandalawi affirmed on Tuesday that Iraq is interested in developing its relations with its brothers, neighbors, and friends. He also stated that Iraq invites reputable companies to invest in Iraq and benefit from its internal stability and attractive environment.
The media office of the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, said in a statement received by Al-Maalouma that “Al-Mandalawi received the Turkish Ambassador to Iraq, Anil Bora Inan, and his accompanying delegation to discuss a number of important issues at the local and regional levels, as well as bilateral relations and ways to strengthen them in various fields.”
He stressed, according to the statement, that “Iraq is interested in developing its relations with its brothers, neighbors, and friends, and provides significant facilities for solid companies to invest in the country. He called on them to take advantage of the internal stability and attractive environment to expand their participation and presence, particularly in the areas of developing the energy and electricity sectors, improving infrastructure services, and strengthening their economic partnership to serve common interests.”
Al-Mandlawi called for urgent, high-level dialogue between the governments and parliaments of the region’s countries to address threats that destabilize regional security and stability, and to work seriously to prevent the expansion of the conflict, deter the Zionist occupation forces from implementing their malicious plans, and to work together to stop the crimes of genocide in Gaza, and to condemn the ongoing violations of the autonomy of Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen.

GEOPOLITICAL FLUCTUATIONS AND OIL MARKETS: HOW CAN IRAQ PROTECT ITS ECONOMY FROM SHOCKS?
Amid the geopolitical turmoil sweeping the world, energy markets remain vulnerable to extreme volatility, posing significant challenges for oil-producing countries, including Iraq.
In this context, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, the Prime Minister’s advisor for financial affairs, confirmed that Iraq’s public finances are well-prepared to withstand any disruptions to global oil prices.
Peace Economics: Post-War Is Not Necessarily Stable
Despite global anticipation of an end to the Russian-Ukrainian war, Saleh believes that the post-war period will not mean immediate market stability. Rather, affected countries will enter what is known as “peace economies,” which focus on reconstruction and increased investment to offset losses. This will create a new wave of demand for oil, driving prices higher.
Saleh explained that every 1% increase in global economic growth leads to a 0.5% increase in oil demand, which enhances oil price stability and prevents sharp collapses in the energy market.
Between Washington and Moscow… the oil balance game
While the United States is the world’s largest crude oil producer, it faces major challenges if prices fall below $70 per barrel, due to the high cost of shale oil production. Russia, the second-largest producer, is not in its interest to sell oil at low prices, as it seeks to maintain international consensus within OPEC, especially in the post-Ukrainian war period.
The Iraqi economy: financial hedging and relative stability
Despite global challenges, Salih affirmed that Iraq’s financial situation is stable, with the first quarter of 2025 drawing to a close without any financial disruptions. The country’s fiscal policy is also operating with high discipline, ensuring the provision of salaries, pensions, and social welfare, in addition to the continued implementation of service projects according to the government’s program.
He pointed out that the three-year federal budget, approved under Law No. 13 of 2023, set the price of oil at $70 per barrel, ensuring stable public revenues despite global economic fluctuations.
Finally, is Iraq heading towards financial stability?
While the world experiences severe volatility in oil markets, Iraq’s fiscal policy appears to be moving steadily toward hedging and stability, while ensuring the sustainability of public revenues. As the three-year budget continues, the question remains: Will Iraq remain immune to the coming economic storms, or will geopolitical challenges impose a new reality on global oil markets?

AN ECONOMIST DETAILS POTENTIAL US PUNITIVE MEASURES AGAINST IRAQ.
Economics professor Saleh Rashid confirmed on Wednesday (March 26, 2025) that America is trying, through its current economic war, to use all the punitive means at its disposal through its large financial and economic infrastructure, indicating that Washington has many cards to play in the Iraqi scene.
Rashid told Baghdad Today, “The American strategy after Trump’s arrival at the White House relied directly on economic sanctions as the most effective means of achieving the Greater Middle East project, which represents a lifeline for Israel by securing its influence in the region and pushing it to digest what remains of the Palestinian people’s rights.”
He added that “Washington is facing a different formulation of economic warfare, employing all the punitive means at its disposal through its extensive financial and economic infrastructure,” noting that “Washington has many cards at its disposal in the Iraqi arena, including sanctions on banks and the flow of funds. Consequently, we may witness an attempt to narrow economic paths, which will inflame the Iraqi street and put direct pressure on the Iraqi government.”
He pointed out that “Washington seeks to separate Baghdad from Iranian influence, as it views Baghdad and Tehran as one arena.”
Noting that “if the central government does not take steps to restructure the contentious issues related to the factions and the Popular Mobilization Forces, we expect more stringent economic sanctions, which may include withdrawing companies or obstructing the operations of investment companies, especially in the energy sector.”
He explained that “if companies feel that Iraq’s environment is unsafe and unstable, they will withdraw their investments, which will have repercussions for the energy sector and other services, especially since the Iraqi people need these investments to develop their capabilities, whether in the energy sector or in other sectors.”
Rashid emphasized that “Iraq faces major challenges in the coming period, and all expectations are open,” noting that “Washington’s resort to withdrawing companies from southern Iraq and the central Euphrates is likely to achieve three goals. The first is to pressure Baghdad to continue distancing itself from Iranian interests, and to try to position Baghdad as part of its pivot in the Middle East. In addition, it is to ensure that the largest investments in Iraq are for American companies, or at least companies from countries allied with it.”
Last February, the Central Bank announced details of its meetings with the US Treasury and the US Federal Reserve.
The Central Bank of Iraq stated in a statement received by Baghdad Today that “the first quarterly meetings of 2025 with the US Treasury Department and the US Federal Reserve, held in Dubai with the participation of international auditing and consulting firms (EY, K2 Integrity, Oliver Wyman), have concluded. The meetings culminated in praise for the steps taken by the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi government to reform the banking sector.”
He added that the most important steps taken were the development of the US dollar cash distribution system in Iraq, which they considered the most closely monitored and controlled system in the world, limiting manipulation and smuggling of US dollars. The qualitative shift in foreign exchange transactions and the steps taken by the Central Bank of Iraq to address the risks associated with these transactions have now risen to the level of transfers carried out by international banks.
The Central Bank explained that consulting firms EY and Oliver Wyman reviewed plans to reform and upgrade the public and private banking sectors in line with international standards and facilitate the integration of Iraqi banks into the international financial network.
The Central Bank, according to the statement, emphasized the need to ensure adherence to the bank’s official channels for the latest news and to avoid transmitting inaccurate information, such as reports that some Iraqi banks are subject to international sanctions. This is because transactions carried out by banks operating in Iraq depend heavily on the confidence of international correspondent banks in the Iraqi banking sector.
Two informed sources reported last February that the Central Bank of Iraq would ban local banks from dealing in dollars. Reuters quoted the two sources as saying, “The Central Bank of Iraq will ban five local banks from dealing in dollars at the request of the US Treasury.” The two sources added, “Three payment services companies will be banned from dealing in dollars, in accordance with a request from the US Treasury.” They pointed out that “the US submitted its request due to serious monetary violations and the smuggling of dollars out of the country.”

MP: AMERICA HAS NO OTHER MEANS OF PRESSURING IRAQ THAN ECONOMIC MEANS.
Member of Parliament Amer Hussein confirmed on Wednesday that America has no other cards than the economic card and financial pressures to confront Iraq with in order to exert pressure and achieve its goals.
Hussein told / Al-Maalouma /, “America has no other cards than the economic cards against Iraq if it wants to tighten the noose on the country, such that it will move towards restricting the movement of Iraqi funds held in American banks.”
He added, “The American side has the economic card to play with Iraq, as it is possible to prevent dealings with certain companies and restrict financial transactions, but such a siege cannot be resorted to by Washington without justifications that push it to such options.”
He explained that “America will not be able to re-exert pressure on Iraq through the security aspects related to the terrorist ISIS, and therefore it is working on the economic card to achieve its interests.” End

SOURCE: IRAN-US NEGOTIATIONS TO BE HELD IN THE UAE AFTER NOWRUZ HOLIDAY
A media activist close to Iranian political officials revealed on Tuesday (March 25, 2025) that “the indirect negotiations between Tehran and Washington will turn into direct negotiations in the coming days in Abu Dhabi.”
The informed media source added, speaking to Baghdad Today, that “negotiations will resume in Abu Dhabi, and this is a step toward achieving further calm.”
He also explained that Iranian and US representatives will hold meetings at the UAE Foreign Ministry in Abu Dhabi after the Nowruz holiday in Iran, which ends in 10 days.
In a related context, Hamid Abutalebi, deputy director of former Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s office, noted a new direction in the relationship between Iran and the United States, noting that statements by officials on both sides reflect an approach based on dialogue and negotiation to resolve differences.
Abu Talbi added that the current phase requires continued multilateral contacts, both overt and covert, and a move toward “direct and comprehensive negotiations” to reach sustainable solutions between the two sides.
For his part, Iranian journalist Ali Qalhaki revealed a different account of the secret message sent by US President Donald Trump to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, noting that the allegations published by Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, an advisor to the Crown Prince of the UAE, contained inaccurate information.
According to Qalhaki, Trump’s message did not address regional issues, as the Emirati official claimed, but rather focused primarily on the Iranian nuclear issue. He also emphasized that the claim of a “broad military option” is unrealistic given its grave consequences for the United States itself.
Qalhaki pointed out that these allegations raise questions about the UAE’s role in fueling US and Israeli pressure on Iran, rather than pursuing a responsible policy toward regional security.

IRAQI PORTS AUTHORITY DISCUSSES OPERATING MECHANISMS FOR THE GRAND FAW PORT WITH THE AMERICAN COMPANY KBR.
The General Company for Iraqi Ports announced on Wednesday that a meeting was held at the Ministry of Transport headquarters with representatives from the American company KBR, in the presence of representatives from the Ministry of Planning, to discuss the mechanisms for the actual transition to operating the Grand Faw Port after the completion of the project’s basic work.
Farhan Al-Fartousi, Director General of Iraqi Ports, told Shafaq News Agency, “The Grand Faw Port is going through a pivotal phase, as many preliminary works have been completed. This meeting is a strategic step to coordinate efforts between government agencies and international companies, ensuring the success of future operations.”
Al-Fartousi pointed out that “the meeting comes within the framework of preparing for the transition to the actual operational phase of the port, relying on available international expertise and in line with the Prime Minister’s government program,” stressing that “qualifying Iraqi cadres to manage and operate the port is a key priority in the programs for contracting with international companies.”
The cost of the Faw Port is approximately 4.6 billion euros, with an estimated capacity of 99 million tons annually, making it one of the largest ports overlooking the Gulf and the tenth largest in the world. The foundation stone for this project was laid on April 5, 2010.
The Grand Faw Port issue and the delays in its completion have sparked widespread controversy in Iraq. MPs have accused successive governments of striking deals with neighboring countries that squandered the port’s construction in favor of those countries’ ports. The project has also experienced some delays following the mysterious suicide of the technical director of the South Korean company Daewoo, which was implementing the Grand Faw Port project.
(Again more past corruption is exposed. When will it all come out?)

EMPLOYEES WITHDRAW 8 TRILLION DINARS FROM BANKS IN TWO HOURS.. THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE SEEKS A SOLUTION.
Crisis of confidence despite the electronic system
Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, called for stopping the provision of subsidized dollars at an exchange rate of 1,320 dinars for non-essential luxury imports, and instead providing them for the import of necessities such as production lines and agricultural equipment, to reduce the volume of imports later. He pointed out that many private banks were not established according to the needs of economic sectors and that they profit from transfer operations despite being inactive due to their inability to deal with foreign correspondent banks. He also confirmed that the government deposits about 8 trillion dinars monthly as salaries for employees and retirees, but they are withdrawn within only two hours, calling for the matter to be addressed.
oeen Al-Kadhimi, in an interview with journalist Saadoun Mohsen Damd, followed by 964 Network :
The banking system is linked to the Central Bank, the body responsible for regulating banking operations. Numerous workshops have been held recently to develop the banking system. However, there are external factors that influence banks attempting to link up with foreign banks, which also impact the development process.
From our perspective as a parliamentary committee, we believe the Iraqi banking system is still in its early stages of adapting to global regulations. The Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance are required to support the work of banks so they can fulfill their role beyond limited tasks, such as supporting the agricultural and industrial sectors, and other diverse economic sectors.
Some banks are trying to profit solely from dollar transfers, without contributing to other developmental aspects. One of our most important observations is the increasing number of banks being established without feasibility studies. This is despite the fact that they are practically at a standstill because most of them have been unable to link up with international banks to conduct financial transfers, thus preventing them from accessing the currency window.
The Central Bank sometimes justifies some of the violations of its instructions by private banks. It must then address the missing relationship between the public and the banks. Some citizens lost their money after certain banks declared bankruptcy, and the Central Bank must also address this issue.
Improving banking performance is key, and we have approached the Central Bank about addressing the issue of depositing funds and the difficulty depositors face in withdrawing them later, while improving interest rates to ensure depositors feel valued. Most importantly, we are increasing automation, moving away from cash transactions.
The internet is no obstacle to the electronic transformation of financial transactions. Banks must improve their digital applications and technologies to benefit from the country’s internet services and quality. Employee and retiree salaries, which amount to approximately 8 trillion dinars, are now paid electronically, but they are withdrawn within two hours, immediately emptying all banks. This must be addressed.
The Ministry of Finance’s monthly priority is to convert its dollar balances into dinars to boost remittances and foreign imports, which are often for luxury goods, as traders benefit from the exchange rate difference. This must stop, and subsidized dollars must be allocated to essential needs, such as importing production lines, to reduce imports later.

PM’S ADVISOR: IRAQ’S OIL EXPORTS TO THE US INCREASED BY 110% IN TWO YEARS
The Prime Minister’s Financial Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that Iraq’s oil exports to the United States have increased by more than 110% in two years.
Salih told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States extends to many diverse investment, trade, and economic fields. Economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States has witnessed remarkable developments in recent years.” He noted that “the volume of trade between the two countries has more than doubled over the past two years, with Iraq’s oil exports to the United States increasing by more than 110%, and Iraq’s imports from the United States increasing significantly over the past two years, with the value of this trade ranging between $9 and $10 billion.”
He explained that “Iraq’s imports were primarily in automobiles, transportation equipment, and engineering and electrical equipment. However, the trade balance remained in Iraq’s favor, with a difference of $5.7 billion, reflecting the continued superiority of Iraqi exports to the United States, particularly in the crude oil sector.” He noted that “economic cooperation between Iraq and the United States is developing, with a focus on enhancing trade exchange and supporting joint investment activities, serving the economic interests of both countries.”
Salih stated that “financial and economic cooperation is part of a positive joint dialogue between the two countries. Since the beginning of this year, many mutual understandings have been reached in the field of economic cooperation, which are consistent with supporting stability and economic reforms outlined in the government’s program, particularly the development of an attractive investment cooperation environment for investors between the two friendly countries, within the country’s general economic policy to achieve sustainable development goals.”
