Iraq 2026 Update: Presidential Decree Signals Government Formation and New Exchange Rate
Investors and analysts are closely monitoring Iraq as a presidential decree sets parliament to convene on December 29, 2025. This direct command signals a critical step toward forming the Iraqi government, finalizing the High Committee for the Dinar (HCL), and implementing a new exchange rate with lower-denomination banknotes.
Key Developments from Iraqi Leadership
Frank26 highlighted the significance of this move:
"Today you have a presidential decree for parliament to sit on the 29th. That's a very direct command. I believe they will obey. We should see your [Iraqi] government formed. We should see the HCL and we should see a new exchange rate. We should see the lower notes from the 29th to the 31st."
According to this timeline, anything short of these steps would be considered a failure, especially with scrutiny from international observers like Mark Savaya.
Sudani’s Vision for Iraq in 2026
Prime Minister Sudani recently made a bold statement:
"2026 must be the year of Iraq."
Analysts interpret this as a clear mandate for action, particularly regarding the Iraqi Dinar. Investors expect the following:
Formation of the new government and HCL
Implementation of a new exchange rate
Distribution of lower-denomination banknotes between December 29–31
As Frank26 commented:
"2026 must be the year for a new exchange rate or you're lying to yourself and to the citizens of Iraq, let alone the international community."
What This Means for Investors
Government Formation: A fully formed government and HCL provides the legal and structural framework for currency changes.
Exchange Rate Update: The new rate could pave the way for long-awaited Dinar revaluation.
Lower-Denomination Notes: Availability of smaller notes will signal the official start of zero removal.

December 29, 2025: Parliament convenes to approve government and HCL.
December 29–31, 2025: Introduction of lower-denomination banknotes.
2026: Expected implementation of new exchange rate and currency stabilization.

Frank26 Today you have a presidential decree for parliament to sit on the 29th. That's a very direct command. I believe they will obey. We should see your [Iraqi] government formed. We should see the HCL and we should see a new exchange rate. We should see the lower notes from the 29th to the 31st.
Anything short of that is a complete failure especially with Mark Savaya right after you're supposed to do that.
