✅ 12% spread tolerable to authorities
MARKET EQUILIBRIUM FOUND:
✅ Importers accessing dollars at predictable rates

✅ Money changers maintaining normal spreads
✅ Post-ASYCUDA balance achieved
📈 IRAQ ECONOMIC FUNDAMENTALS:
STRENGTHS:
✅ Foreign Reserves: $104 billion
✅ Oil Production: 4.6 million barrels/day
✅ Brent Crude: Mid-$70s ($320-340M daily revenue)
✅ No banking crisis or capital flight
✅ CBI commitment to stability
CHALLENGES:
❌ Budget Deficit: 8.13 trillion IQD
❌ 60%+ budget = salaries/pensions
❌ Limited diversification
❌ Oil dependency extreme
❌ Investment spending reduced
🔍 WEEKEND TRADING DYNAMICS:

Friday: Islamic day of rest (reduced hours)
Saturday: Partial reopening

Real test comes Monday

⚠️ REVALUATION REALITY CHECK:
WEEKEND MYTH vs REALITY:
MYTH: Iraq will revalue dinar to near-parity with dollar
REALITY: Economically IMPOSSIBLE without catastrophe
Why massive revaluation = economic suicide:
❌ Iraqi goods 100x more expensive
❌ Export competitiveness destroyed
❌ Mass unemployment outside oil sector
❌ Banking system collapse
❌ No country has ever succeeded at this
CBI POSITION (Clear & Repeated):

NO plans for major revaluation
Focus: Managing current system
Goal: Stability at ~1,300 official rate
Manage parallel spread through interventions

🎯 MONDAY WATCH LIST:
✓ Al-Kifah/Al-Harithiya opening rates
✓ Trading volumes (confidence indicator)
✓ Any weekend CBI communications
✓ Weekend oil price movements
✓ Does 1,467 hold when full trading resumes?
📅 NEXT UPDATE: January 13, 2026 (MONDAY - Full Trading Resumes)
