The Iraqi dinar: stable and consistent
2025/11/27
Amidst the analyses and speculations circulating that raise questions about the fate of the national currency, official facts and data confirm that talk of any change in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar is nothing more than speculation that is not based on any sound economic foundation.
Through a careful reading of the economic reality and the official statements of the Central Bank of Iraq, it becomes clear that the stability of the exchange rate is the fixed strategic option that is being defended with effective monetary tools and a huge balance of foreign reserves.
The Central Bank of Iraq places the stability of the exchange rate at the heart of its priorities, in accordance with the law that governs its work and aims to ensure price stability. The bank’s statements were clear and decisive in denying any intention or the existence of any serious study to reduce the value of the dinar, as such a decision has no economic justification in the current circumstances.
The facts on the ground speak for themselves clearly: huge foreign reserves exceeding $95 billion form a protective shield that ensures hard currency liquidity and covers all external strengthening needs of the national economy.
The Central Bank’s firm policies have also proven effective in maintaining the stability of the official and parallel exchange rates, as they have succeeded in narrowing the gap between them significantly, supported by the flow of oil revenues, which constitute a stable source of hard currency. This stability in the exchange rate has been a key pillar behind achieving low inflation rates, the lowest in the region, which has contributed to protecting the purchasing power of citizens and maintaining stable living conditions.
The Central Bank remains vigilant against all rumors and ill-considered analyses aimed at undermining confidence in the national currency and creating market instability. It possesses all the necessary regulatory and financial tools to counter such attempts and maintain the stability of the dinar. Exchange rate stability is not merely a number on a screen; it is the cornerstone of the stability of the entire national economy and a guarantee of sustainable development and investor confidence.
In conclusion, the future of the Iraqi dinar is shaped by a strong economic reality and a wise monetary policy that refuses to be swayed by any pressures or rumors, stressing that stability is the most prominent theme in the coming period.
