The Controlled Bleed
By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
On Tuesday, Iraq’s Finance Committee said there are 109 trillion dinars behind the country’s salaries. On Thursday, an economist read the central bank’s books in public and added the cost: roughly $7.9 billion left the reserves in July alone.
Most governments would deny that number. Baghdad answered it with paperwork.
The number they did not announce
The figure came from Manar al-Obaidi of the Future Iraq Foundation, reading the Central Bank of Iraq’s own published indicators. Net official reserves have fallen from 130 trillion dinars at the start of the year to 102 trillion, and the bank’s claims on the government have nearly doubled since early 2025. The state is borrowing from its own bank while the reserve drains, and none of it was leaked – it is sitting in public.
What moved in the same 24 hours
• One customs ledger – Baghdad and Erbil agreed to run every border crossing on the ASYCUDA digital system, non-oil revenue split 50/50. A dispute that outlived 4 governments, closed.
• WTO files finished – the Trade Ministry announced 7 major accession files complete, 175 questions answered, the goods schedule rebuilt to the current international standard.
• Weapons into law – al-Zaidi ordered the drafting of a statute placing every weapon in Iraq under exclusive state authority, then met Nouri al-Maliki over the 9 empty cabinet chairs.
• The budget clock – the 2026-2029 government programme reached parliament, carrying the budget that must print an exchange rate, drafted in September per the government’s own adviser.
• The strait written off – Treasury Secretary Bessent promised measures on Iran “never seen in history” and said the Strait of Hormuz is never going back to the way it was.
A state bleeding out hides its numbers. Iraq published its own burn, then spent the same day finishing the books its currency will be repriced on. Germany ran this exact sequence in 1948, and the money that came out of it was the strongest in Europe for 5 decades. What that pattern means for the dinar, and the order the files land in from here, is in today’s full briefing.
