  • Why Iraq’s banking sector struggles with weak competition and sanctions.

  • How cooperation with Oliver Wyman could boost banks’ capital and efficiency.

  • The crucial role of foreign remittance reforms in stabilizing the market.

  • How dismantling the parallel market linked to Iran could return the dollar exchange rate to 135,000 dinars per $100.

  • The proposed solutions: U.S. Treasury agreements, three-way import accounts, and local currency payment cards.

Iraq’s financial future hinges on comprehensive reform. Partial fixes won’t cut it — but if these steps are fully implemented, the dinar could regain strength and the economy could move toward lasting stability.
