Clare – Dinar Guru Article quote: “…foreign reserves at their current level are sufficient to cover 18 months of imports. In addition, there is a gold reserve of 167 tons, ranking fourth in the Arab world and thirtieth globally according to the World Gold Council. This constitutes an important part of Iraq’s foreign reserves, recording a significant growth rate of 55% up to the first half of 2025, reaching a value of 22.8 trillion dinars compared to 14.7 trillion dinars in the second half of 2024. The safe investments of these reserves have contributed significantly to the growth of investment portfolios, accompanied by a healthy growth in returns to these portfolios.”
