Episode notes

Iraq’s economy faces a critical test. For decades, oil revenues ⁠https://www.myfxbuddies.com/2025/09/l... link to My FX Buddies blog⁠ have carried the country, but experts warn that this rentier system is unsustainable — especially when liquidity dries up and imports outweigh exports. Parliament members and economic experts argue Iraq must urgently: Diversify revenue streams beyond oil Strengthen tax, customs, and insurance sectors Invest in human capital and local labor Support and regulate the private sector Reduce excessive imports and encourage domestic production At the same time, the Central Bank highlights that Iraq remains financially stable thanks to strong currency reserves and coordinated monetary policy.
