Iraq's cut to 1,500 is the first move in a sequence: lower the rate, replace the currency, raise the rate. On Thursday Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi told parliament's leaders why it happened. The oil could not get out, and the state has to find 10 trillion IQD every month.
Most people have forgotten how much of the rest Iraq already has in place. New banknotes are designed, a note below 250 dinars is planned, the Prime Minister's own adviser has raised coins, the Central Bank holds 175.6 tonnes of gold, and electronic customs is live at every federal crossing.
The last step needs oil dollars, and the oil is moving. Iraq's Oil Ministry puts October exports at 2.7 million barrels a day, against nearly 3.4 million before the war. Washington and Paris have reached the same debt wall, with the US 10-year yield at its highest since 2002.
Today's Read looks at why Iraq is the linchpin, what is left on Baghdad's list, and why we would not expect a long wait.
