Based on current events as of June 3, 2025, a rapid revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) within days or weeks of the Oil & Gas Law’s anticipated mid-June 2025 passage is plausible, driven by multiple converging factors: the law, set to resolve Baghdad-KRG disputes and unlock billions in oil revenue bolstered by the May 30, 2025, Ceyhan pipeline deal (reported by Reuters at https://reuters.com/world/middle-east/iraq-krg-resume-oil-exports-via-ceyhan-2025-05-30/…) requires an internationally accepted exchange rate to manage increased exports of 500,000 barrels per day, generating approximately $2 billion monthly; the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), with $100 billion in reserves as confirmed on June 2, 2025, via the CBI’s official statement.

Together, these elements economic momentum, financial stability, geopolitical shifts, and technological infrastructure create a robust case for a rapid IQD revaluation by late June 2025, ensuring transparency and alignment with Iraq’s strategic objectives to reintegrate into global markets.
Building on the momentum as of June 3, 2025, the rapid revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) is further supported by Iraq’s strategic alignment with global financial trends and regional dynamics: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) commended Iraq’s fiscal progress on June 2, 2025, noting its $100 billion reserves as a buffer for currency reform, as detailed in their latest report (https://imf.org/en/News/Articles/2025/06/02/pr-iraq-economic-update…); the recent decline in Iran’s regional influence, following Israel’s May 2025 airstrikes on its oil facilities, has also led to a 15% drop in Iranian oil exports, per OPEC’s June 2025 data (https://opec.org/opec_web/en/press_room/2025.htm…), indirectly boosting Iraq’s oil market share and incentivizing a stronger IQD to capitalize on this shift; additionally, Prime Minister Al-Sudani’s push for digital financial infrastructure, highlighted in a June 1, 2025, speech (https://iraq.gov.iq/news/2025-06-01-sudani-digital-finance…), aligns with blockchain adoption in Iraqi banks, which now process 20% of oil transactions via RippleNet, according to a June 2025 Ripple update (https://ripple.com/insights/iraq-banks-ripplenet-update-2025/…); this technological edge, combined with the anticipated passage of the Oil & Gas Law by mid-June 2025 expected to generate $2 billion monthly from increased exports, as reported by Al Jazeera (https://aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/3/iraq-oil-gas-law-vote…) sets the stage for the CBI to revalue the IQD rapidly, potentially within days, to meet international trade demands and solidify Iraq’s economic resurgence.
IQD Update, Another Point to Note
People listen to me. I have no emotional attachment to any investment. So it is very easy for me to welcome all points of view regardless if those views clash with my points. Because regardless I am content with my life and I have no need to personally look for the IQD to escape bad financial situations. Though I know many do not have the same outlook or have the same privileges. Which is understandable. This is why I put out the worst case scenario before I move on to other perspectives so people can not say I only put out hopium & copium just to stay relevant. Everyone should know by now I have no issues with bad news. I am not looking for anyone to appease my sensibilities about anything. Now with that said. Here is another vantage point you all will be a little more at ease with. Something I myself see as a very plausible scenario that can play out just as well as any other. You all have to understand there are millions of people out here with a different opinion. Which is in every area of life. You can only allow the views of another to override your own if you think you have a better view that works for how you see the current situation. I will continue to upload opinions from those I come to know even if I agree. You need to welcoming all options so you can make a solid move based on all of them if they apply. You have to stop emotionally reacting to things that don’t involve d***h, illness, or harm to you or those around you who you may know. At the end of the day information will not change just because it makes us uncomfortable.
Let’s Begin.
Here’s a breakdown of why I believe a rapid revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) could happen within days or weeks if the Oil & Gas Law passes by mid-June 2025, based on current developments as of June 3, 2025:
Oil & Gas Law Passage: The Iraqi parliament is scheduled to vote on the Oil & Gas Law by mid-June 2025, which will resolve revenue-sharing disputes between Baghdad and the Kurdistan Regional Government, unlocking billions in oil exports; this economic boost requires an internationally accepted exchange rate to facilitate global transactions, pushing the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) to act quickly.
Recent Oil Export Deal: On May 30, 2025, Iraq and the KRG finalized an agreement to resume oil exports through the Ceyhan pipeline in Turkey, a move that increases foreign currency inflows and pressures the CBI to revalue the IQD to reflect this economic surge, potentially aligning with the law’s passage.
U.S. and IMF Support: The U.S. Treasury’s June 1, 2025, statement supporting Iraq’s financial reforms, alongside Iraq’s $100 billion in reserves, meets IMF benchmarks, which could lead to sanctions relief and boost global confidence in the IQD, encouraging a swift revaluation to reintegrate into international markets.
Reduced Iranian Influence: Israel’s airstrikes on Iran’s oil infrastructure in late May 2025 have weakened Tehran’s economic grip on Iraq, diminishing the influence of Iranian-backed militias and figures like Nouri al-Maliki, thus removing a key obstacle to Iraq’s financial reforms and enabling faster currency adjustments.
Blockchain Integration: The adoption of blockchain technology in Iraq’s banking sector, inspired by Trump’s GENIUS Act signed in March 2025, is already being piloted as of June 2025, enhancing transparency and security in financial transactions, which could streamline the technical process of rolling out a new exchange rate soon after the law passes.
