If they don’t want to remain a consumer market and be linked to the global economic cycle. They need to move to an open market economy and have an international recognized currency. Go Open Market Economy Go international recognized currency Go Stronger Dinar 1 5 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides de-dollarizing DOMESTICALLY, they also need to be linked to world economic systems such as the SWIFT and the BRICS. Released from all UN Sanctions would be nice as well. Does anyone know how many more UN Sanctions Iraq has at this point? If yes, list them please. Thanks in advance. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dinarham Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Several weeks ago , Biden "allowed " Iraq to purchase electric power from Iran for the next couple of months ,extending some kind of embargo against Iran . This was concurrent with Biden condemning Iran bigtime . What can be taken from that? My take is that the US wants to keep Iraq happy . With USD allegedly evaporating from Iraq on the first of the year , IQD must become a viable currency. Otherwise , Iraqis will rise up , starvation makes you do that . 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
