Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

"Singapore Consults on Implementation of Global Minimum Tax"
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has a 15% tax on multinational enterprises.

Singapore is the latest country to propose the implementation of this tax upon their companies.
This is a market-based collaboration between Global economies designed to develop policy standards that promote sustainable economic growth.

This Capital requirement for the banking system on a global scale comes under pillar 2 banking procedures. Pillar 2 banking supports pillar 1 banking to cover the needs of capital requirements that are not covered in pillar 1. Pillar 3 deals with the open banking system allowing changes to be determined as needed. Below is an article if you would like to do further study on this announcement.

Its purpose is to level the playing field between economies and their opportunities for growth. A unified approach will give countries' currencies the ability to compete with demands for their money based on their own merits and ability to operate a business through the new Basel 3 requirements.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 13 June 2024

Compiled Thurs. 13 June 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Judy Note: It’s amazing what the Main Stream Media refuses to report and doesn’t even seem to care. In fact, it’s a little scary how we’re all controlled by not being told what’s really going on and don’t even realize it:

Last Sun. 9 June 2024 Saudi Arabia ditched the US Dollar and did not renew a 50 year contract, plus three days later around 12 noon EST on Wed. 12 June in a shocking and devastating move, Russia’s Moscow Stock Exchange immediately suspended all trading in U.S. dollars and Euros, delivering a major blow to the U.S. currency – all of which was bound to begin a Global Financial Crash – but you’d never know it according to the news.

Global Currency Reset: Rumors/Opinions

Wed. 12 June 2024 TNT Tony: “They want this done by Sat. 15 June 2024. Banks are expecting to work this weekend. Iraq has country wide celebration planned for Sun. 30 June.”

Wed. 12 June 2024 Wolverine: Good news from all serious and responsible sources.

This has already begun, the initial sound has been heard throughout the media context of REDEMPTION/REVALUATION AND GLOBAL FINANCIAL RESET.

It has been confirmed that the release of funds for currency swaps and historical asset swaps began after 12:00 a.m. on Tues. 11 June.

These released funds will become liquid once the 800 holder numbers and emails are released.

Exchange notifications begin on Wednesday, June 12.

It is a process that has just begun, everyone’s turn will come in due time, it will be a matter of days. We ask all beneficiaries to be very calm and patient, as they will be receiving notifications from their taxpayers. For the safety of everyone involved in the process, it is necessary to be very, very discreet. Your friend That loves you all Wolverine

~~~~~~~~~~

Tues. 11 June 2024 Wolverine:

God has sent me on this journey and now I cry, for I have the official news: It has been confirmed that the release of funds for currency exchanges and historical assets have already begun after 12 noon Tues. 11 June EST.

Funds will become liquid after the 800 is released to you on Wed. 12 June.

The last of this is a banking formality.  Everything is done. The wait is over. What has been said so many times by so many that is going to happen has now happened! 

C’s losses have already begun with the 27 Asian elderly and rogue families. It has started first with the Elders who are the trigger for all exchanges and redemptions.

Once the closing process begins for Zimbabwe dollar and the Iraqi Dinar, which are part of the first currencies to cross the International Monetary Fund, and which revalues the currencies, all currencies will continue to close until all IMF SDR currencies are revalued.

Congratulations you have made it. This is real. It has started.

I also received a message from the director of the CIC, which is the actual foundation for Mauricio. Right now, he is currently with the President of Colombia, handing out the documents and everything to the president so the funds can be released – I am not sure if it is televised or not, but it is happening right now! I just received a photo shoot! 

I am beyond words right now! I am really, really, emotional.

What we need now is for the Tier4B notifications to start coming through, which will be tomorrow Wed. 12 June.

It is a privilege to have known these people (Marucio’s Team) who have changed my life. Especially my wife…. (sorry guys it has been hard, Wolverine is choked with emotion at this point). God bless you all, and hopefully, I pray to God, that that Opera will be released to you. Take care, have a beautiful day. Wolverine (transcribed by Carpathia)

Global Financial Crisis:

The Head of Germany’s Stock Exchange says the country is becoming a “Developing Country” and called his own market “A junk Shop.”

Saudi Arabia has ditched the US Dollar and did not renew the 50-year petrodollar agreement with the United States. Instead, they will be selling oil in multiple currencies, including the Chinese RMB, Euros, Yen, and Yuan. This should be treated as a Black Swan Event, but you wouldn’t know it because the U.S. government is more focused on investigating tire tracks over a street intersection. Remember, the revolution will not be televised.

Tishwash:  Iraq seeks to attract foreign investment by amending its laws

The Iraqi Parliamentary Investment Committee aims to amend some investment laws during the next legislative term, with the aim of attracting foreign investments and capital.

According to committee member, Dhia al-Hindi, representatives of the World Bank Group working in investment and private projects were hosted to discuss some paragraphs of laws on investment, which are considered in opposition to sustainable development in Iraq, including the investment law and the company law.

Al-Hindi explained that representatives of the World Bank cited the experiences of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, where the foreign investor in those countries has the right to own and manage the company by 100%, while his share in Iraq is limited to only 49%.

Al-Hindi called for amending some paragraphs of the law to create an attractive environment for investors and capital, noting that amending laws is within the jurisdiction of Parliament, while the laws governing the economic process remain “socialist.”

Al-Hindi stressed that the committee is continuing to amend the commercial arbitration and investment laws, and approve the industrial investment and mineral investment law.

Al-Hindi stated that the committee will address the government regarding amending some paragraphs of the investment law to be subjected to study in the State Shura Council, and then sent to Parliament.

These efforts come within the framework of Iraq's efforts to strengthen its economy and attract foreign investments, especially in light of the economic crises it is experiencing.

It is expected that the amendments to the laws will contribute to improving the investment environment in Iraq and attract more foreign investments and capital, which will contribute to the development of the Iraqi economy and create new job opportunities   link

Clare: Saudi Arabia's petro-dollar exit: A global finance paradigm shift

10 Jun 2024

The financial world is bracing for a significant upheaval following Saudi Arabia's decision not to renew its 50-year petro-dollar deal with the United States, which expired on Sunday, 9 June, 2024.

The lapsed security agreement - signed by the United States and Saudi Arabia on 8 June 1974 - establishes two joint commissions, one on economic co-operation and the other on Saudi Arabia's military needs, and was said to have heralded an era of increasingly close co-operation between the two countries.

American officials at the time expressed optimism that the deal would motivate Saudi Arabia to ramp up its oil production. They also envisioned it as a blueprint for fostering economic collaboration between Washington and other Arab countries.

The crucial decision to not renew the contract enables Saudi Arabia to sell oil and other goods in multiple currencies, including the Chinese RMB, Euros, Yen, and Yuan, instead of exclusively in US dollars. Additionally, the potential use of digital currencies like Bitcoin may also be considered.

This latest development signifies a major shift away from the petrodollar system established in 1972, when the US decoupled its currency from gold, and is anticipated to hasten the global shift away from the US dollar.

Cross-border CBDC transactions

In a more recent move, Saudi Arabia has announced its involvement in Project mBridge, a project which explores a multi-central bank digital currency (CBDC) platform shared among participating central banks and commercial banks. It is built on distributed ledger technology (DLT) to enable instant cross-border payments settlements, and foreign-exchange transactions.

The project has more than 26 observing members including the South African Reserve Bank, which was greenlighted as a member this month.

The better known observing members of mBridge are those of the Bank of Israel, Bank of Namibia, Bank of France, Central Bank of Bahrain, Central Bank of Egypt, Central Bank of Jordan, European Central Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the Reserve Bank of Australia, and the World Bank.

In tandem, the project steering committee has created a bespoke governance and legal framework, including a rulebook, tailored to match the platform's unique decentralised nature.

Evolution of Project mBridge

Project mBridge is the result of extensive collaboration starting in 2021 between the BIS Innovation Hub, the Bank of Thailand, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, the Digital Currency Institute of the People's Bank of China and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

In 2022, a pilot with real-value transactions was conducted. Since then, the mBridge project team has been exploring whether the prototype platform could evolve to become a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) – a stage now reached.

As it enters the MVP stage, Project mBridge is now inviting private-sector firms to propose new solutions and use cases that could help develop the platform and showcase all its potential. LINK

Clare:  The Minister of Communications announces a campaign to turn off towers in preparation for switching to fiber optics

6/11/2024   Baghdad

On Tuesday, Minister of Communications Hiyam Al-Yasiri announced the imminent launch of a campaign to extinguish towers in residential areas in preparation for the transition to the fiber optic system.

Al-Yasiri said in a statement, reported by the official news agency, and seen by Al-Iqtisad News, that “the Ministry intends to implement a campaign to extinguish the towers in coordination with the relevant security authorities, and according to the schedules set for them, after which it will switch to the fiber-optic system.”

She added, "There will be no losses to tower owners or unplanned extinguishing, as the companies operating on FTTH lines have completed their work in dozens of Iraqi regions in preparation for extinguishing those towers, and there is a detailed scheduled plan that will be announced in advance to extinguish the Wi-Fi towers." Fi) and converting it to FTTH service, which will be with the consent of the citizen and not compulsory.”

Al-Yasiri continued, “The prices that FTTH will offer will be lower or equal to the prices of Wi-Fi, despite its high cost, but we bear these costs with the companies in order to provide good service to citizens.”   LINK

BuckEyeTree:  Iraq continues to transform into the modern era with banking and now fiber optics. With security and stability and safety (banking laws against terrorism and corruption), investors / companies will find a good environment to do business.

If I remember correctly from UB2B, "in the coming days" phrase could potentially mean "anyrime."  Praying with the blessings to be realized that this will be in the coming "days" or sooner.  Big plans for an improved Iraq and for ministries.

"BASEL COMMITTEE MUST STOP GLOBAL BANKS FROM CONTINUING TO CHEAT ON KEY REGULATORY TESTS AND ENDANGERING FINANCIAL STABILITY" | BetterMarkets

These tests include examinations of the bank's capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to systemic risk.

The above sentence is otherwise known as stress tests. A stress test determines how well a bank is capable of handling a liquidity crisis.

The OCC and FDIC conduct several tests to measure a bank's capacity to withstand transitional periods like we are in at the present time.

These tests are conducted to prevent crisis interventions and collapse situations that could become a contagion to other Banks.

Tighter controls on the new digital banking system are not only expected, but they will determine the compliance level a bank has in their standing going forward.  BetterMarkets

Call to Action: ISSB Global Adoption

"The International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) is an independent, private-sector organization that develops and approves IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards."

The International Financial Reporting Standards are intended to make financial statements consistent, transparent, and comparable around the world.

The IFRS S1 and IFRS S2 are climate standards on an economy looking to be accepted on a world wide basis by 2025.

"IFRS S1 requires companies to disclose material information on all sustainability-related risks and opportunities that could reasonably be expected to affect their prospects. IFRS S2 sets out the requirements for climate-related disclosures."

Sustainability-related risks deal primarily with liquidity issues surrounding the banking system such as Governmental risks and economic factors.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a climate-related risk. It is a climate related disclosure being proposed, and how, the banking system will be a part of managing those risks ie car loans.

Many compliance rules are expected to shift inside the new digital economy along with climate risks that will affect banking operations. This is one of the new adaptations that is being called for to help us adjust to our changing world.

As you can see from the previous article, new changes are being developed and governed by the ruling bodies above and beyond the banking system to recommit their International compliance standards inside this new digital banking system.   CorpGovLaw   EY   IFRS   PWC   Zurich

America is in “A Bad Place”; Gold Can Restore Its Prosperity Says Judy Shelton

America is in “A Bad Place”; Gold Can Restore Its Prosperity Says Trump Fed Nominee

Daniella Cambone:  6-12-2024

“You can't have sound money without sound finances,” says Judy Shelton, monetary economist, author of “Money Meltdown,” and former economic advisor to Donald Trump.

In an exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone, Shelton explains the rationale behind a gold standard argument, detailing how issuing a gold-backed bond may be the pathway to it.

“I don't know how people talk about free trade without addressing currency gyrations and how they impact trade,” she says.

 Additionally, she warns that the fate of the U.S. may be similar to what happened to the Soviet Union with insurmountable debt. “Is the US still going to be here in 50 years? At the rate of the unsustainability in terms of the fiscal and monetary situation that you opened with, I don't see how.”

Tune in for this insightful discussion on the future of the U.S. economy and the potential return to a gold standard.

Tishwash:  Kuwait connects its “Fiber” network to Iraq

The Kuwaiti telecommunications company Zajil, revealed that its “Fiber” network had been delivered to the borders of the two countries with Iraq.

The advisor to the company’s board of directors, Engineer Walid Saleh Al-Qallaf, told “Al-Sabah”: “The company is currently working on connecting from Kuwait to Al-Faw directly,” indicating “the operation of the Safwan port, which will be followed by the operation of the Al-Faw port, so that Iraq will be a major corridor for passing the network, not only in the Gulf.” But for the countries of East Asia, it will be synonymous with the Egyptian corridor.”

He added, "The Iraqi corridor needs full encouragement and government support to make it successful, as it is necessary and fundamental to the completion of these projects," noting that "Iraq has become the focus of attention of countries and major international companies due to the incidents that took place in the Red Sea and the fear of the cessation of communications through this corridor."

Al-Qallaf stated that “the incidents that took place in the Red Sea are a warning bell to search for a backup corridor for the Suez Canal, as heading towards Iraq was to be a successful corridor for these projects.”  link

Tishwash:  Iraqis resort to “gold bullion” instead of money, and the banking system is dying

Today, Wednesday (June 12, 2024), financial affairs expert Mustafa Hantoush revealed the reason why Iraqis are resorting to purchasing gold bullion in abundance during the current period.

Hantoush said in an interview with "Baghdad Today" that "recently, the demand for buying gold bullion has increased significantly by citizens, especially those with large sums of money. They have begun to save that money through these bullion instead of depositing their money in banks."

He stated that "the reason why citizens resort to buying gold bullion to save their money is as a result of the weakness of the banking system, lack of confidence in this system, and fear for their money due to American sanctions. This is why we see the majority of Iraqis turning towards gold bullion, especially in light of the high prices of the yellow metal and the stability of this price and its lack of fluctuation like the dollar." .

From mid-December 2022 until now, the Iraqi dinar has continued to fall against the US dollar, until it reached the level of 1,610 dinars against one dollar at a time when the official price of the dollar is 1,300 dinars.

With the decline of the national currency and the rise in poverty and unemployment rates, Iraqi gold markets recorded a large demand from customers to buy the yellow metal amid warnings against buying counterfeit ones.

According to data from the specialized website “Bloomberg” , Iraq bought 33.9 tons of gold in the year 2022, while the Turkish Consul General in Erbil Hakan Karaçay revealed that Iraq imported Turkish gold worth $1.5 billion during the year 2021.

Iraq's gold reserves witnessed a noticeable increase during the month of February 2024, as International Monetary Fund data showed that Iraq had increased its possession of the precious metal by 3,079 tons, bringing the total to 145,661 tons.

This increase indicates Iraq's continued strategy to diversify its foreign reserves and enhance financial and monetary stability in the long term.

This step by Iraq comes at a time when the world is witnessing a rise in gold prices, as the price reached its highest level in its history last month above $2,400 per ounce.

Many simultaneous factors are strengthening the record levels of gold, especially in light of the escalation of geopolitical tensions around the world, and in light of the state of “uncertainty” surrounding the global economy, which supports the trend towards the precious metal as a traditional safe haven in the face of market fluctuations and dire scenarios that impose themselves on the market. the scene.

Iraq is among the countries that possess large amounts of gold reserves in the Arab region, as it ranks fourth after the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Morocco  link

Wolverine on Mon. 10 June 2024:

According to the intel I am receiving it looks like we are really definitely close.

I have spoken to the director of Mauricio’s platform. They are ecstatic and will have a special announcement soon. His platform is purely humanitarian, Nesara/Gesara.

Last night the intel that came in said:  Yesterday I confirmed Paymaster number one to our USA holders. Mon. 10 June he delivers the release codes and keys. 

We are very close guys, and what we are hearing that is might be happening actually midweek, probably Wed. or Thurs. 12, 13 June. 

Mauricio group has a meeting with someone very important, and they said it is actually going to happen this week. They are not going to mention a date, but it is that close now.

The Pentecostal Group sent a confirmed announcement saying that all platforms will be closed – they will not be selling anymore of the Yellow Dragons. They will close up operations and they are getting ready now.

But we have received notifications for private groups, and these people are more than likely customers of these banks. There was a lot of Intel coming through for notifications.

I heard some people got paid. I cannot confirm that. I received an audio from Brazil that one contact got paid, got it in Spanish.  I would need someone to translate it other than me.  For if I translate it, people would say I was inventing stuff, so it is better than someone from the audience that speaks Spanish translates it. It is about a minute audio saying that they got paid 1% and they expect the rest during this month to get paid.

BRICS Officially END The Petrodollar: What next?

Fastepo:  6-11-2024

- On June 9th, 2024, Saudi Arabia announced it would not renew the Petro Dollar agreement. This decision reflects a broader trend of de-dollarization, where countries are increasingly seeking to reduce their dependence on the US Dollar for international trade.

This shift is part of Saudi Arabia's strategic move to diversify its economic partnerships and align more closely with emerging economic powers like China and the BRICS nations. In this video, we discuss this breaking news and how it could impact the US economy and dollar valuation.

Turkey (and the rest of the world, poor countries) will be offered a better exchange rate to replace their dollar reserves with China’s RMB digital gold token in the oil trade.

Luke Gromen recently posted a tweet that Gold would replace the U.S. Treasury bond in oil trade settlement. 

It’s strictly business for the reason why the dollar may suddenly collapse.

CandyKisses:  After OPEC’s decision to reduce cuts… Iraq increases its production by 40 thousand barrels per day

Economy News _ Baghdad

Iraq increased its production by 40,000 barrels per day during the month of May, after OPEC’s decision to reduce cuts, according to a survey conducted by S&P Global Commodity Insights on June 10.

The nine OPEC members subject to quotas boosted crude oil production by 100,000 bpd in May, led by Nigeria and Iraq, pushing the group 320,000 bpd above their collective targets, while the bloc's allies led by Russia cut production.

Iraq increased its production by 40,000 barrels per day to reach 4.28 million barrels per day, which is 280,000 barrels per day more than its current target, despite its agreement in May to compensate for the surplus production. The Platts survey estimates current oil production in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq at 210,000 barrels per day.

Iraq's production reached 4.28 million barrels per day, up from the previous month, which reached 4.24 million barrels per day.

Five Predictions For The Coming Decade Of Decline

Five Predictions For The Coming Decade Of Decline 

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  June 11, 2024

There is a well-known modern proverb (often attributed to the novelist G. Michael Hopf) that goes, "Weak men create hard times, hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men."

The saying sums up the cyclical nature of the rise and fall of societies– and it’s a topic in which I have tremendous personal interest.

Having recently reached middle age, I can comfortably say with the benefit of hindsight that I was born and grew up during the American prime time– the time at which the wealthiest and most powerful country in the history of the world was at its peak.

The US is still an incredible country with so much prosperity and opportunity. But it would be completely naive and ignorant to claim that America is not in substantial decline.

Its standing in the world has waned, much of it just over the past few years. It’s hard for adversary nations to take you seriously when your President shakes hands with thin air and embassy employees in Kabul have to be evacuated by helicopter.

Financial challenges keep piling up– from the insolvency of Social Security to the $35 trillion national debt to the inflation problem that just won’t go away.

And social divisions, many of which have been bizarrely self-inflicted, seem to grow more tense by the day.

Fortunately, America’s decline began from a historically high peak. So even in its diminished state, again, it is still wealthy and powerful.

But the real concern isn’t where the country is today. It’s the trend, i.e. where the country will end up in ten years’ time if it stays on current course.

I’ve spent the past fifteen years studying similar cases throughout history– the US is far from alone as the only nation that has ever peaked and declined.

And one of the best works on the subject I’ve ever read is The Collapse of Complex Societies, by anthropologist Joseph Tainter.

“Collapse” is a strong word and conjures images of anarchy and death. But Tainter’s definition is more precise; “collapse” doesn’t mean that a society or nation ceases to exist, but that it experiences a steep decline in political, social, and economic stability.

This is what (I believe it’s clear) the US is going through right now, and the trend is accelerating.

Tainter’s book examines the common factors of how different societies throughout history declined– from ancient Mesopotamia to Western Rome. And his analysis shows that one of the key culprits in collapse is the inability of a government to recognize problems… or to solve them.

Many ancient Roman emperors were legendary for failing to recognize the horrible problems brought on by their policies and incompetence– inflation, invasion, etc.

This pretty much describes the US federal government in a nutshell.

Politicians can barely talk about problems in a civil and rational manner. And quite often they refuse to even acknowledge them.

We’ve seen this over and over again with issues such as inflation, the southern border, crime, and social security.

For example, the Social Security trustees publish a report each year stating plainly that the program is going to run out of money by 2033. But no one in Washington wants to talk about it. Joe Biden has even pledged to veto ANY efforts to reform the program.

Biden’s top officials also repeat the bold-faced lie that “the border is secure”, while actively encouraging illegal immigration. The federal government even sued Texas to stop the state from securing the border on its own.

The people in charge demonize and defund police, decriminalize theft, and elect progressive prosecutors who let violent criminals go free.

It’s the same dysfunction with federal spending. These people can’t even acknowledge that a $35 trillion national debt is catastrophic. Most politicians happily ignore it, and others come up with more outrageous spending to further the debt spiral.

They cannot acknowledge the problem, let alone discuss it rationally. Merely passing a budget now routinely devolves into a crisis.

Our view of where this trend leads is clear:

1. Inflation is coming.

There is little hope of responsible spending. The government’s own projections forecast an extra $20 trillion in new debt over the coming decade, and frankly that’s optimistic.

History shows that explosions in national debt are financed by the Federal Reserve creating new money– which ultimately causes inflation.

When the Fed created $5 trillion of new money during the pandemic, we got 9% inflation. How much inflation will $20+ trillion cause?

And the worse inflation becomes, the more urgency the rest of the world will have to replace the dollar as the global reserve currency… which will result in even MORE inflation in the US.

It’s a vicious cycle in which inflation will create more inflation. We project this is 5-7 years away.

2. Social Security is not going to be there for you.

Social Security is not a political problem; it’s an arithmetic problem. And the math just doesn’t add up.

Every year the US Secretary of Treasury signs the report saying plainly that, by 2033, Social Security’s trust funds will run out of money. Benefits will have to be permanently cut by 25% and then become worse over time.

3. Higher taxes are virtually guaranteed.

Politicians love claiming that people should pay their “fair share” but can never quite define how much that means.

And they have already moved the goalposts on who exactly owes society more— the “billionaires” became the top 1%, then quickly shot up to the top 5%, then 10% and soon it will be the top 25%.

Higher taxes won’t just be federal. State and local taxes— from sales tax to property tax— are very likely to cost more, while your governments provide much less.

4. Continued social chaos.

Every time it feels like the lack of civility and unity across Western Civilization can’t get any worse, something new erupts.

The latest is university students screaming “from the river to the sea” and “Just Stop Oil” while defacing artwork and public monuments. Rising tides of socialism and racial animosity never seem to ebb, and idiotic wokeness just won’t go away.

These social divisions will likely continue to grow.

5. Maybe most importantly, major geopolitical disruptions.

As the financial and social decline of the US becomes increasingly obvious to the rest of the world, adversaries are becoming more emboldened.

Nations like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are likely to grow more assertive, and there will be significant calls to replace the dollar as the global reserve currency.

Soft war incidents like spy balloons, manufactured pandemics, cyberattacks, etc. will persist— and if we’re very lucky, there won’t be a shooting war. I give it 50/50.

It’s exasperating. Anybody over the age of about 35 remembers a time when it wasn’t like this.

Yet now chaos is the norm. I’m not saying this to be dramatic– it’s important to be intellectually honest.

Part of being intellectually honest means acknowledging that, again, the US is still a great country with an incredibly powerful economy, boasting some of the most valuable businesses in the world.

And Americans still enjoy an extremely high standard of living— albeit one that has been disrupted in recent years by the combination of inflation, crime, and social chaos.

The most exasperating part is that these problems are fixable.

The US government could spend responsibly, encourage capitalism and innovation to grow the economy, and its debt problems would melt away. The dollar would remain valuable. US leadership might even earn back global trust.

But with the current people in charge, I wouldn’t hold my breath. And I also wouldn’t put all my hopes and dreams on the voters smartening up anytime soon.

Yet there are still plenty of solutions that independent-minded individuals can execute without relying on the government.

For example:

Problem: Future inflation will pose a major problem to one’s savings.

Solution: Invest in assets which do well during, or even benefit from, inflation— real assets such as energy, mining, and productive technology. Right now many of these are selling for record low prices, yet poised for substantial growth.

Problem: An overrun border and rising crime rates threaten cities and living standards.

Solution: Obtain a second residency in a foreign country where you really enjoy spending time, or even obtain a second passport. This way you and your family will always have a place to go if the need ever arises.

Problem: Social Security’s trust funds will run out of money within a decade.

Solution: Maximize contributions to retirement accounts— including a special type of 401k which could allow you to double contributions and direct where funds are invested. This lowers your taxable income, puts more money away for retirement, and allows the investments to grow tax-free.

There are solutions for people who, unlike the government, are willing to recognize the problems and actually do something about it.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

"Project mBridge continues its development and has reached the minimum viable product (MVP) stage, while broadening its international reach."

This project has reached its minimum requirements that will allow it to work with early adopters on this Digital Ledger Technology enabling instant payments through cross-border International (CBDC) trades. This system will allow foreign currency exchanges through local currencies.

There are now over 26 observing members and Saudi Arabia has just recently joined as a full participant. This DLT will allow payments to be settled in local currencies of those who are early adopters of this new digital payment system.

"Project mBridge is the result of extensive collaboration “starting in 2021 between the BIS Innovation Hub, the Bank of Thailand, the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates, the Digital Currency Institute of the People’s Bank of China, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.”

In 2022, real value transactions took place on a pilot program and were successful. This project has been coordinated with the Bank of International Settlements, and it is expected to be available by mid-2024.

Since mbridge has reached its minimum viable product stage, it is now able to invite the International community to begin interfacing onto this section of the QFS.

According to this report, supply and demand issues in trade are currently in an imbalanced state. The demand for goods and services has steadily grown since the Covid-19 pandemic, and first quarter numbers show a significant growth for the United States and for China. Yet, we are not out of the woods, and supply and demand need to be brought into equilibrium.

High demand is good for traders, and it looks good on the Markets. It is the supply side that is lacking at the present moment due to inflated prices on goods and services. In order to balance the economy and make it grow steadily and forward, there needs to be more attention on moving the products across the country. This will increase money flow and demands on our Stablecoins that in turn gives more purchasing power to our currencies.

Here is where monetary policies come into play. As we move into a tokenized asset and gold token regimen for payment, this will stimulate the process of deflating the economy. A shift in interest rate reduction or remaining steady will give our suppliers liquidity capable of catching up to the demands of companies across the United States and China. 

We are at a wait-and-see approach on the FOMC meeting. The changes made at this meeting and the next one are critical to the transition of our economy and it's moving back into profitable status. Supply Chain Brain Investopedia

42 Countries Joining BRICS: What Next

Fastepo:  6-10-2024

Delegates from 22 countries are gathering for the BRICS foreign ministers meeting in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, taking place on June 10 and 11, 2024.

This significant event and one of the largest ones in BRICS history is set to discuss various topics related to global economic governance, multilateralism, and the ongoing development of BRICS cooperation.

This represents another step towards the further expansion of the BRICS bloc in the near future.

BRICS Beyond Borders: Dedollarization, Common Currency, and Global Expansion

Think BRICS:  6-11-2024

Discover the latest BRICS news and developments in financial matters, expansion, and cooperation. In this insightful video, Clive Ettia from Think BRICS and Rhod Mackenzie from @SCOBRICSInsight discuss pivotal topics such as dedollarization, BRICS common currency, and digital currency initiatives. In the opening segment, we dive into Russia's push for dedollarization in Latin America trade.

Understand the geopolitical implications and the benefits and challenges this brings to Latin American countries. We then explore the broader BRICS strategy for economic sovereignty and mitigating dollar dependency.

Next, we cover the ambitious move towards a BRICS common currency. Learn about the feasibility, timeline, and potential economic and political implications of this initiative. We compare it with digital currency projects involving Saudi Arabia, China, and the UAE, highlighting how these efforts align with BRICS' financial sovereignty goals and global trade strategies.

We also touch upon regional security issues, focusing on the tensions in the Horn of Africa over a naval base in Somaliland. This discussion outlines the strategic importance of the region, BRICS interests in Africa, and potential diplomatic solutions. Lastly, the video reviews the recent BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting in Nizhny Novgorod, discussing strategic alignments and the growing influence of BRICS.

With around 30 countries showing interest in joining or cooperating with BRICS, we analyze the strategic advantages and the future growth potential of this powerful alliance.

While this video provides an in-depth analysis of BRICS financial matters, expansion, cooperation, and the specific geopolitical and economic implications of de-dollarization and a common currency, it does not cover the technical details of implementing a BRICS digital currency or the exact strategies behind each country's involvement in these initiatives.

The discussion on regional security and naval base conflicts in the Horn of Africa is thorough, but it does not delve into the specific military strategies or detailed political negotiations taking place behind the scenes.

Tishwasj: Iraq expects to reach an agreement to resume oil exports through Türkiye within days

The Iraqi government expects to soon reach a final agreement with the Kurdistan region and international oil companies there, to resume oil exports, according to what Bloomberg reported.

The Iraqi Oil Minister, Hayyan Abdul-Ghani, said in a televised interview on the government “Al-Iraqiya” channel, “There is progress in these negotiations, and we hope that we will reach, within the next few days, a final understanding in this regard.”

He added that the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region, and international oil companies met on Sunday in Baghdad to discuss the resumption of production and exports, noting that the revenues will be deposited in an account in the Central Bank of Iraq.

Abdul Ghani expressed his hope that there will be multiple outlets for exporting Iraqi oil abroad, and he said: “We are looking for other sources to deliver Iraqi oil to global markets... We were exporting 400 thousand barrels of oil per day through Turkish Ceyhan before it stopped.” He added: “We are conducting negotiations with Turkey to resume oil exports through Ceyhan,” noting that “there is progress in the negotiations regarding the Iraqi-Turkish oil pipeline.”

Sunday's meeting in Baghdad, which was attended by Abdul Ghani and officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region, came after an invitation sent by the Ministry of Oil, last month, to the Kurdish authorities and international energy companies. To meet and discuss the resumption of northern oil exports.

A senior official at the Ministry of Oil, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks, said on Sunday that the talks are expected to focus on the Kurdistan Regional Government’s energy production sharing contracts, which Baghdad wants to amend, and the oil production costs demanded by foreign oil companies. In exchange for oil extracted from the Kurdistan region.

Iraq says that foreign companies and the authorities of Iraqi Kurdistan are behind the delay in resuming crude oil exports. Because it has not yet submitted its contracts to the Federal Ministry of Oil for review.

Crude oil exports from Kurdistan stopped more than a year ago, after they were closed in March 2023. Due to the dispute over who allows exports from the Kurdistan region.

The impasse came on the heels of the International Chamber of Commerce's March 2023 ruling on a dispute between Turkey and Iraq over Kurdistan's oil. The ICC ruled in favor of Iraq, which said Turkey should not allow Kurdish oil exports through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline and the Turkish port of Ceyhan, without the approval of the Iraqi federal government.

Months of tense negotiations between Iraq and Turkey, and between Iraq and Kurdistan, followed, with an agreement remaining elusive. In January of this year, foreign companies operating in Kurdish oil fields called on the US Congress to take immediate action to help solve the problem of the cessation of crude oil exports from the autonomous Iraqi region. The group said, in a letter to Congress, that “oil export is the foundation of Iraq’s economy, and all Iraqis will benefit when full production and global sales from the Kurdistan region resume.”   link

Tishwash: Al-Rafidain: Al-Khader branch joins the branches that operate with the comprehensive system

Al-Rafidain Bank announced the implementation of the comprehensive banking system in the Al-Khader branch in Al-Muthanna.

The bank stated in a statement: “With the addition of the Al-Khader branch, the number of branches in force and operating the system has become (29), in an important step to strengthen the banking system, achieve its requirements, abandon paper work, and move completely to electronic systems.”

The bank confirmed: “The digital transformation plan and adoption of the comprehensive banking system is proceeding according to the set timings to include all the bank’s branches in implementing the system, especially since one of the priorities and adoptions of the government program is electronic transformation in financial transactions, reducing episodes of red tape for citizens, reducing time, simplifying procedures, removing obstacles, and intensifying efforts to raise the level of Services provided to customers and completion of their transactions.”   link

CandyKissses: Corporate governance in Iraqi banks. Enhancing transparency and efficiency

{Economical: Al-Furat News} Corporate governance is one of the most important factors that contribute to enhancing the performance and safety of the banking sector. By applying the principles of sound governance, banks can improve their efficiency and risk management, and enhance investor and customer confidence.

In Iraq, banks have come a long way in applying corporate governance principles, with the support of the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company. These efforts have contributed to improving the performance of the banking sector and increasing its transparency, which reflected positively on the Iraqi economy in general.

Singapore’s experience in corporate governance in the banking sector is an example.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has applied a set of strict governance standards, including disclosure and transparency requirements, defining the responsibilities of the board of directors and executive management, and periodically evaluating the performance of banks.

These efforts have contributed to making Singapore a global financial centre with an excellent reputation for transparency and integrity.

In Iraq, the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company can play a greater role in strengthening corporate governance in banks, by encouraging banks to adopt international best practices in this field, and providing training and guidance to board members and executive management.
The Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company is arguably an inspiring success story under difficult circumstances. Through its vital role in protecting depositors' funds and promoting confidence in the banking system, so that the company contributes to building a strong and stable national economy.

As its efforts in development and innovation continue, the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company promises to be a key pillar in achieving sustainable economic development in Iraq.
