For years, the prospect of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) entering the global retail forex market has captured the imagination of investors. Now, it seems Iraq is making tangible strides towards this ambitious goal, and the potential implications are significant. A recent video from Edu Matrix sheds light on Iraq’s strategic roadmap, outlining the reforms undertaken and the crucial steps still ahead.
At its core, Iraq’s ambition is clear: to join the global forex market, allowing local IQD holders to trade their currency and potentially realize profits in their chosen currency. This move is positioned as a promising solution for local investors to cash in their banknotes and participate more fully in the international financial system.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) plays a pivotal, albeit indirect, role here. While the IMF doesn’t “list” currencies on forex markets, it monitors, advises, and grades countries’ financial policies, providing crucial signals to the global market. Iraq is progressively addressing these requirements, though the journey continues.
It’s important to reiterate that the IMF’s role is purely advisory. It doesn’t grant official approval or “list” currencies on forex markets. Instead, markets look for signals: stable macroeconomic policies, a unified exchange rate regime (Iraq currently maintains a conventional peg), and legal commitments to keep current account payments free. While Iraq is making progress, formally accepting Article 8 obligations would send a stronger signal of commitment to the market.
The journey for the Iraqi Dinar to gain broad acceptance on global forex platforms isn’t about a single event or a “switch.” It’s an ongoing process that demands consistent demonstration of sound policies, stable and unified exchange rates, robust banking systems, efficient cross-border payment settlement, and adequate liquidity.
Iraq is unequivocally moving in this direction, with reforms recognized by international bodies. While challenges remain, the commitment and progress are clear, paving a promising path for the IQD’s future on the global stage.
