đ˘ď¸Â âIQD Revaluation Delayed? OPEC, USD, and the 3-Zero Puzzle đ¸â
Fnu Lnu explains why Iraq is locked into USD, not ready to float or revalue the dinarâyet.
đ Key Highlights
â Â OPEC & the U.S. Dollar: No Way Out (For Now)
Iraq is a member of OPEC, and the organization's core rule is clear: oil must be traded in U.S. dollars, the world reserve currency.
Exiting OPEC or switching to crypto or neutral currencies (like BRICS+ options) would result in severe international sanctions.
Iraq has committed to remain in OPECâthis fact alone suggests the IQD will not float freely or revalue soon.
â Â No Float. No RevalâAt Least Not Yet
Fnu Lnu argues:Â Iraq will do as the U.S. demands, and a float or de-dollarization would go against current geopolitical agreements.
As a result, a currency float is off the table, and any real revaluation is unlikely for at least 12 to 18 months.
â Â Liquidity Strategy â Redenomination
According to a Perplexity AI report, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has withdrawn 24.8 trillion dinars, or about 70% of excess liquidity.
This includes mostly high-denomination notes with three zeros, but the goal is not redenominationâjust liquidity control.
Since only 70% of these notes were collected (not 90%), this action appears to be an effort to avoid redenomination, not prepare for it.
â Â The 3-Zero Confusion
Iraq is replacing old, worn notes but not eliminating the zeros officiallyâa distinction many in the RV community overlook.
This measured approach allows monetary tightening without triggering international concern or economic instability.
đ Summary
Iraqâs membership in OPEC and reliance on the U.S. dollar tightly limits any move toward a currency float or immediate RV.
The removal of 3-zero notes is about managing excess liquidity, not prepping for redenomination.
Fnu Lnu predicts the IQD will not revalue for at least another 12â18 months, and certainly not under BRICS+ or de-dollarization pressures.
