  The Governor emphasized that the project is not speculation but an active, structured initiative backed by international financial interest. 🌍📈

• Comprehensive studies and simulations are already completed.

🔹 Why Remove Zeros?

• Iraq’s currency has long suffered from a declined nominal value due to decades of instability.

• With an informal exchange rate around 1,415 IQD per USD, transactions require bulky cash and complicate international trade. 💵➡️💵

• Removing zeros will simplify the currency, stabilize transactions, and reflect Iraq’s stronger fundamentals.

🔹 What the Reform Does (Simple Version)

• The shift is not a loss of money, but a re-denomination:
  👉 1,000 old dinars = 1 new dinar

• Prices, salaries, and savings adjust proportionally, keeping purchasing power stable at the moment of conversion.

• Over time, market forces could allow the dinar to find a truer value.

🔹 Potential Future Value

• Internal studies show a possible long-term floating value between 3.22 and 4.25 IQD per USD.

• These are not official rates, only economic projections based on fundamentals. 📊

🔹 Two Paths Under Consideration

The CBI is evaluating:

1. A gradual, market-driven float, or

2. A decisive one-time restructuring
   Economists say both options remain active. 🔄⚖️

🔹 Why Now? Economic Drivers Behind the Reform

Iraq’s position has significantly strengthened due to:

• Strong OPEC oil revenues 🛢️

• Growing gold reserves 🪙

• Deepening global partnerships — China, the U.S., the EU 🌏🌐

• Improving budgets and higher GDP

These fundamentals have created a gap between the dinar’s nominal rate and its real value — a gap the reform seeks to close.

🔹 Global Impact

A successful reform could:

• 📈 Boost foreign investment in Iraq

• 💵 Reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar

• 🌍 Encourage monetary modernization across the Middle East

• 🏛️ Redefine Iraq’s financial identity on the world stage

🔹 Slow, Careful, Strategic

• The CBI stresses that every step is methodical and stability-focused.

• While the timeline is undisclosed, the confirmation that studies are complete signals that implementation is closer than ever.

• Once executed — whether gradual or sudden — the reform will mark one of Iraq’s most significant financial milestones in modern history. 🚀📘

THE IRAQI DINAR WITHOUT ZEROS: THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ LAUNCHES A HISTORIC REFORM.

Research and writing by: Dr. Subhi Jabara

The Central Bank of Iraq has officially confirmed that it is moving forward with its long-awaited “zero-zero” project, a massive financial reform that will fundamentally reshape the country’s economy and its standing on the global stage.

In a series of statements, the Central Bank Governor emphasized that the project is not mere speculation but a concrete initiative that has generated considerable enthusiasm and interest in international financial circles. This ambitious project aims to rename the Iraqi dinar by removing three zeros from its nominal value to better reflect the country’s growing economic strength. This move, which has been the subject of rumors for years, is currently under active development, with comprehensive studies and simulations having been completed. According to the Governor, the process will be gradual and meticulously planned to ensure financial stability while unlocking the currency’s true potential. 

For years, the Iraqi dinar has suffered from a decline in its nominal value as a result of decades of conflict and economic instability. The current exchange rate, hovering around an unofficial rate of 1,415 dinars to the US dollar, forces citizens to carry large amounts of cash for their daily transactions and complicates international trade and investment. The “zero-zero” project was designed to address this problem by simplifying the currency and aligning it with the country’s strong economic fundamentals, including robust oil revenues, expanding gold reserves, and deepening trade partnerships with global powers such as China, the United States, and the European Union. While the Central Bank has been careful not to commit to a specific timeline, the confirmation that the project has begun marks a pivotal moment for Iraq. This represents a transition from post-war recovery to a new era of economic independence.

Signs of Reform: How Will “Removing Zeros” Work?

The phrase “removing zeros” may sound alarming, but it is a standard monetary policy tool known as currency revaluation. It is not a confiscation of wealth, but rather a recalibration of the currency’s nominal value. In essence, 1,000 old Iraqi dinars will become 1 new dinar. Crucially, all prices, wages, and savings will be adjusted proportionally, ensuring that individuals’ purchasing power remains stable at the moment of the shift. The real shift occurs in the subsequent adjustment of the exchange rate.

The Central Bank has developed several scenarios, with internal studies predicting that the floating dinar could stabilize automatically at a value in the distant future between 3.22 and 4.25 dinars to the dollar. The governor clarified that these figures are not a declared rate but rather an indicator of the currency’s potential if it is allowed to float freely based on market demand and Iraq’s economic fundamentals. Two main paths are being considered for the next phase.

Economists close to the central bank indicate that both options remain on the table. The choice will depend on the government’s strategic priorities, whether it favors a gradual, market-driven adjustment or a swift and decisive reset.

Either path would trigger one of the most significant currency transformations in the modern Middle East. The economic driver: Why is now the right time for a stronger dinar? The timing of this reform is not coincidental. The Iraqi economy is at an evolutionary turning point. The country’s fiscal position has steadily improved, driven by several key factors: Strong oil revenues: As a leading producer in OPEC, Iraq’s steady oil revenues provide a stable foundation for its economy and strong support for its currency. Growing gold reserves: The central bank is actively expanding its gold reserves, a traditional safe asset that enhances monetary stability and international credibility. Deepening trade partnerships: Iraq has developed strong trade relations with major global economies, including China, the United States, and the European Union, diversifying its economic interactions and reducing its dependence on any single partner. Despite this strength, the nominal value of the dinar has been lagged, widening the gap between the official exchange rate and its true value. Each time Iraq’s GDP grows or its foreign reserves increase, this discrepancy becomes more pronounced.

The “zero-zero” project is the mechanism to close this gap, allowing the currency to finally reflect the country’s true wealth and economic progress. This reform is expected to have profound global implications. Revaluing the Iraqi dinar would:

• Boost regional investment: A stable and strong currency would make Iraq a more attractive destination for foreign investment, thereby fostering economic growth throughout the region.

• Reduces dependence on the dollar: By re-pegging its currency into a diversified basket of currencies or commodities, Iraq can reduce its reliance on the US dollar for oil settlements, a move with significant geopolitical implications.

• Inspires monetary reform: It could inspire neighboring economies to reassess their monetary structures, potentially triggering a wave of fiscal modernization across the Middle East. For Iraq itself, this is more than just an economic adjustment; It is a step toward a historic fiscal renaissance, signaling Iraq’s transition from post-war recovery to a future of economic independence and self-determination. A new chapter for Iraq: The way forward.

The central bank governor has emphasized that this reform is not a rash or hasty move; Every step is carefully measured, documented, and designed to maintain stability and public confidence. While the precise implementation timeline remains confidential, the confirmation that the project has begun and the preliminary studies are complete indicates that implementation is closer than ever. When the reform takes place, whether through a gradual float or a sudden restructuring, it will permanently alter Iraq’s fiscal identity.

The phrase “removing zeros,” as simple as it sounds, represents one of the most ambitious and complex financial engineering projects in the country’s modern history. The central bank is not just changing numbers; It is redefining how Iraq interacts with the global economy. The world is watching closely. The potential shift in the dinar’s value, with projections ranging between 3.22 and 4.25 to the dollar, has captured the attention of investors, economists, and governments worldwide. This is not just an economic story; it is history in motion. As Iraq stands on the precipice of this financial transformation, the message is clear: the nation is ready to transcend its past and write a new chapter of prosperity and strength.
