📊 Historic Shift: CBI Fixes the Exchange Rate in the 2026 Budget

For the first time since many of us entered this investment, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has officially fixed the national budget to a specific exchange rate.

Why Is This So Important?

Traditionally:

• Iraq’s Finance Committee tied the budget to:

  • Oil prices

  • Conservative market assumptions

• Exchange rates were not locked in

Now:

• The 2026 budget is fixed to an exchange rate

• This signals confidence, planning, and stability

📌 This is extremely good news.

📰 Let’s Separate FACTS From Panic

As predicted by the CBI, once ASYCUDA (the automated customs system) became fully implemented, temporary dollar demand would rise.

And guess what?

👉 That is exactly what happened.

• Dollar rates briefly climbed to around 145,000 IQD per $100

• Panic voices screamed:

  • “150,000 is next!”

  • “Devaluation is coming!”

🚫 This is speculation, not reality.

⚙️ ASYCUDA Was Designed to Do This

The CBI warned well in advance that ASYCUDA would cause:

• Temporary dollar demand increases

• Trader behavior adjustments

• Emotional market reactions

This is not a policy failure — it’s a mechanical transition.

🔁 Déjà Vu: The First ASYCUDA Wave

History matters.

During the first ASYCUDA rollout:

• Economists panicked

• Markets reacted emotionally

• Devaluation rumors spread

What Actually Happened?

• The dinar rebounded

• It stabilized near 1305

• Below the official 1320 rate

• It effectively revalued internally

📌 History has a habit of repeating itself.

💵 Why Is the Dollar Rising Right Now? FACTS ONLY

According to the article “Identifying the Main Reason for the Rise of the Dollar in Iraq”, former CBI director Mahmoud Dagher confirmed:

“Customs duties are behind the rise of the dollar in local markets.”

Simple Explanation:

• Traders must now:

  • File customs declarations via ASYCUDA

  • Use banks for transfers

• During the transition:

  • Some turn to the market for dollars

➡️ This is procedural — not a currency collapse.

🏛️ Prime Minister’s Advisor Confirms Stability

In “Saleh’s Appearance: The Fluctuations in the Parallel Market Are Temporary”, PM economic advisor Mazhar Muhammad Saleh stated clearly:

• Oil prices are not the cause

• Fixed exchange rate policy remains intact

• Iraq’s foreign reserves exceed $100 billion

🛡️ He called this a:

“Strong stability umbrella for foreign currency.”

Bottom Line:

• No threat to living standards

• No justification for devaluation

💰 ASYCUDA = Revenue, Revenue, Revenue

ASYCUDA is about discipline.

Just like:

• U.S. customs enforcement under Trump increased revenues

• ASYCUDA enforces:

  • Customs duties

  • Tariffs

  • Transparency

Results:

• Higher government revenue

• Less smuggling

• Stronger fiscal position

• More sustainable currency

📌 This is how strong currencies are built.

🛢️ Oil & Gas Law Pressure Returns — Right on Time

In the article “Atrushi: The Oil and Gas Law Must Be Passed as Soon as Possible”, Deputy Speaker Farhad Atrushi confirmed:

• The law is essential to financial stability

• Federalism cannot function without it

👉 We already know:

• This law is one of the five U.S. mandates

Its reappearance now is not coincidence.

🌍 WTO Accession — Signals, Not Delays

Articles like:

“Iraq’s Accession to the World Trade Organization: The United Nations Confirms Tangible Progress”

Raise an obvious question:

• Iraq has passed the laws

• Met technical requirements

• Completed regulatory stages

So why wait?

The Logical Answer:

The WTO wants:

• A sustainable currency

• A realistic exchange rate

• A dinar backed by full national assets

📌 Why accept Iraq before reinstatement?

Exactly.

🧨 Political Resistance: Same Old Playbook

We now see renewed political pressure in:

“Parliament Will Host Officials from the Central Bank and the Integrity Commission Next Week”

What’s really happening?

• Attempts to remove Ali al-Alaq

• Political attacks on the CBI

• Distraction from real progress

This mirrors:

• Iranian proxy influence

• Stagnation tactics

• Fear of reform momentum

🧭 The RV Roadmap Already Exists

Everything is already laid out:
👉 The White Paper

Those resisting reform:

• Prefer chaos over structure

• Fear momentum

• Fear change

Because momentum leads to reinstatement.

⭐ Featured Snippets 

🔹 Is the Iraqi dinar being devalued?

No. Current fluctuations are temporary and expected during ASYCUDA implementation.

🔹 Why is ASYCUDA important?

It increases revenue, enforces customs law, and strengthens long-term currency stability.

🔹 Why is the WTO waiting?

Likely for a sustainable post-reinstatement exchange rate.

❓ Q&A – Clearing the Confusion

🙏 Final Thoughts: Panic Is Not Policy

Speculation makes noise.
Facts make history.

ASYCUDA, fiscal discipline, WTO signaling, and revenue enforcement are steps forward, not backward.

The RV does not fail because of temporary fluctuations.

👉 It succeeds because of structure.
