Clare:  Parliamentary Committee to Al-Eqtisad News: The Oil and Gas Law is Almost Complete, and This is What We Hope for from Barzani’s Visit to Baghdad

7/4/2024  Baghdad

Member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Zainab Al-Moussawi, revealed today, Thursday, the latest developments in the Oil and Gas Law, while pointing to the impact of Masoud Barzani’s visit to Baghdad on the approval of the law.

Al-Moussawi said in an interview with Al-Eqtisad News: “So far, the draft oil and gas law is almost complete, with a high percentage that may reach 90%, but there are some objections from the Kurds regarding some points, which are summarized in handing over oil imports and exploited and unexploited natural resources to Baghdad, as Erbil refuses to do so.”

She added: "We hope that Masoud Barzani's visit will be the beginning of resolving the crisis of the law and its legislation after an agreement with the political foundations in Baghdad, which is the Coordination Framework, as all political blocs are moving towards legislating the oil and gas law that regulates the country's natural resources."

The member of the Parliamentary Oil Committee explained that "the Oil and Gas Law contributes to exploiting the largest possible amount of undiscovered oil fields and also contributes to achieving self-sufficiency in petroleum derivatives and optimal exploitation of wasted natural resources estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars that contribute to diversifying the state's financial resources."  LINK

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Thursday Evening 7-4-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

WHAT IS A TIER ONE BANK?

"Banking regulations known as the Basel Accords require banks to have different types of capital on hand. These liquid and cash assets balance out the risk-weighted assets that banks hold. This increases banks' stability, which increases the stability of the overall financial system. "

"Tier 1 capital is the primary funding source of the bank. Typically, it holds nearly all of the bank's accumulated funds. These funds are generated specifically to support banks when losses are absorbed so that regular business functions do not have to be shut down.  Under Basel III, the minimum tier 1 capital ratio is 10.5%."


"What Do the Basel Accords Do?"

"The Basel Accords are international banking regulations that ensure banks have enough capital on hand both to meet their obligations and absorb any unexpected losses. They are set by the Basel Committee on Bank Supervision (BCBS)."

"ISO 20022 is an ISO standard for electronic data interchange between financial institutions."

"Over the next four years, ISO will revolutionize the banking sector by improving efficiency, data quality and the ability for organizations to establish enhanced controls."

"Over 70 countries have already adopted ISO 20022 in their payment systems including Switzerland, China, India and Japan. SWIFT, which begins its own migration journey to ISO 20022 in November 2022, estimates 80% of global, high-value payments by volume will be processed through the standard by 2025."

BRICS and XRP

"In its foundational documents, including summit declarations and joint communiqués, BRICS emphasizes key principles like respect for sovereignty, non-interference in the internal affairs of member states, and a commitment to a multipolar world. These documents typically revolve around topics such as trade, investment, technology, and sustainable development."

BRICS and XRPL: A Surprising Convergence
"Surprisingly, within the realm of these documents, a unique convergence with blockchain technology, particularly Ripple’s XRPL, becomes apparent. The mention of XRPL within BRICS documents reflects an acknowledgment of the potential of blockchain technology to reshape the global financial landscape. This recognition indicates that the member nations of BRICS perceive blockchain as a strategic enabler for enhancing financial systems, fostering transparency, and promoting efficient cross-border transactions."

"Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL) stands out in the blockchain space due to its focus on facilitating real-time, cross-border transactions with minimal fees. Unlike traditional financial systems, which can be slow, costly, and subject to intermediaries, XRPL’s decentralized nature allows for seamless peer-to-peer transactions, enabling faster remittances and lower fees. So, the integration of XRPL technology could potentially streamline trade and investment between BRICS member states, promoting economic growth and collaboration."

Japan Is on a Web 3.0 Hot Streak, and the World Should Take Notes

From its cultural heritage to cutting-edge technological advancements, Japan is where ancient customs and modern marvels converge.

The unique blend of tradition and innovation reflects Japan’s strategic positioning within crypto.

Putting regulatory clarity into practice

Despite crypto’s evolution from a speculative investment to an asset class contributing to a balanced portfolio, governments worldwide remain conflicted about how to regulate it.

While it’s not atypical for regulatory bodies to disagree on how to oversee financial instruments, the approach to crypto assets continues to be divisive.

India, for example, has no centralized authority handling crypto regulations and offers no guidelines for settling disputes when dealing with digital assets, leaving investors to trade at their own risk.

The absence of regulations allows unmonitored practices to flourish – and without appropriate safeguards, criminals can and do benefit from the lack of oversight, leaving law-abiding citizens to suffer.

Without laws, there are no legal ramifications, and crypto has magnified this issue before when people or organizations have gotten away with crimes due to legal shortcomings.

{{This is why putting the Regulations into place is so important.}}

Willem Middelkoop: The Big Reset - How Power and Pricing is Shifting Away From the West

Willem Middelkoop: The Big Reset - How Power and Pricing is Shifting Away From the West

Palisades gold Radio:  7-3-2024

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Willem Middelkoop, author of 'The Big Reset,' to delve into his insights on the anticipated transformation of the international monetary system and its effects on global finance and investment strategies.

Published in 2007, 'The Big Reset' garnered considerable attention after the financial crisis in 2008 due to Middelkoop's beliefs regarding the impending collapse of the dollar system as a result of mounting debt and economic instability.

In this conversation, he reflects on how his viewpoint has progressed since 'The Big Reset's debut and the emergence of Bretton Woods 3.0 from the eastern world, as well as the shift towards commodity-based currencies.

Middelkoop highlights the importance of gold in the context of evolving reserve currencies and its function as a hedge against currency devaluation. He underscores the significance of comprehending the process rather than fixating on timing when anticipating these financial transitions.

Discussing potential alternatives to the US dollar as the world's primary reserve currency, Middelkoop acknowledges China's expanding influence and burgeoning gold reserves. He asserts that the transition will unfold gradually with minimal impact on daily life for western residents but issues a warning of potential harm to Europe in the power struggle between the U.S. and China.

 Moreover, he voices concerns regarding economic and geopolitical risks, particularly escalating tensions among major world powers that could lead to significant military confrontations.

Middelkoop shares his investment portfolio strategy, dividing it equally among equities, real estate, liquid cash or Bitcoin, physical gold, and silver.

 He advocates for diversification and caution in response to the inflation of bond and equity valuations. Middelkoop believes that commodity-backed currencies and base metal producers present opportunities for underpriced investments. Middelkoop also addresses the difficulties faced by the silver mining industry due to jurisdictional risks, low silver prices, and a lack of incentives for exploration.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday 7-4-2024

TNT:

Tishwash:  Iraq is “crowded” with all kinds of holidays: Businesses are halted and employees “are not compensated” for official working hours

Hardly a week goes by in Iraq without one of its days being a holiday, paralyzing Iraqis and making some of them “happy” and others “grumpy,” especially with the cessation of work in official departments.

 According to the reading of specialists and researchers, Iraq is the country that witnesses the most disruption in official working hours. If the federal government does not declare a holiday, it authorizes the governorates and districts to make the day they want an official holiday.

 The official holidays in Iraq for the year 2024 are as follows:

January 1, New Year's Day

January 6, Iraqi Army Day

April 10th for three days, Eid al-Fitr

May 1, Labor Day

June 16-20, Eid al-Adha

June 26, Eid al-Ghadir

According to expectations, the Islamic New Year will fall on July 7.

July 14, Revolution 14 (public holiday)

According to expectations, July 16 will be the tenth of Muharram (an official holiday), and the birth of the Prophet Muhammad will be on September 15.

October 3, Iraqi National Day

December 10, Iraqi Victory Day.

All of these holidays are official, and are specified by an official law voted on by Parliament on May 22, 2024, for Iraqis to enjoy, excluding the weekend, which is designated as (Friday and Saturday).

Earlier, economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi said:

*Year = 48 weeks

*Total official holidays per year (Friday and Saturday) = 96 days

*Total official occasions in the year = 22 days

*Total number of official holidays per year = 118 days.

According to Al-Marshoumi, these holidays “are added to religious occasions and emergency holidays such as rain and high temperatures announced by the central government and local governments, which are estimated at about 22 days a year, the highest in the world, while there are 8 official holidays in England and Wales, which is considered one of the fewest number of holidays in the world.”

He continued: “The total number of official and unofficial holidays is 140 days, and the total number of annual working days is 225 days,” noting that “the total number of employees’ salaries, including self-financing and contracts, is 70 trillion dinars.”

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that “the average daily salary is 192 billion dinars, which represents the daily loss from the disruption of work, while the total financial losses from unofficial holidays, except for Friday and Saturday, may amount to 4.224 trillion dinars, and the total financial losses from official and unofficial holidays, except for Friday and Saturday, amount to 8.448 trillion dinars.”

Most Iraqi cities and districts contain shrines for the masters and infallibles, and if the anniversary of one of their martyrdoms falls, the governorate declares an official holiday that includes all its departments, or it is designated in a specific district or district, as happened with the Babylon Governorate Council.

The council said in a statement today, Wednesday, that it had “voted to suspend official work in Al-Hamza Al-Gharbi only for tomorrow, Thursday, on the occasion of the martyrdom of the grandson of Al-Abbas, peace be upon him.”

Unlike Al-Marsoumi, economic expert Dhurgham Muhammad Ali does not see any losses incurred by Iraq due to official holidays, while he pointed out the existence of “benefits.”

Ali said in an interview with “Eshan”: “Official holidays in Iraq do not constitute major losses for government departments because most government departments are service-oriented, not productive.”

He explained that “the increase in official holidays leads to a reduction in electricity consumption, traffic congestion and fuel. On the other hand, there are no major economic losses resulting from the holiday because the departments are only service departments, and most of the departments that are in contact with citizens’ lives, such as health, emergency services and others, continue their work.”

He pointed out that "the economic losses come only from the fact that the number of working hours for employees is less for the same salaries, and this is not considered a direct loss." link

Tishwash: Carrying the Kurds' "dreams"... Barzani in Baghdad

 The office of the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Masoud Barzani, announced that the party leader will visit Baghdad today, Wednesday (July 3, 2024), to hold a series of meetings with Iraqi officials and political leaders.

Barzani's office said in a statement received by Baghdad Today, "The party's leader will visit Baghdad today to hold a series of meetings with political parties and political leaders."

He added, "The budget, the formation of the local government in Kirkuk, the Sinjar issue, and the election of the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament will be among the main topics in his meetings."

According to local reports and Kurdish sources, the visit was described as not to discuss pending files, but rather as a final culmination of the end of all technical and legal discussions on all current files, at least those related to salaries and political crises, while the major files related to the oil and gas law and the file of resuming the export of the region’s oil, which has become a vicious circle between Baghdad and foreign companies operating in the region, continue.

Barzani's visit also coincides with the Turkish incursion and ground operations it is carrying out in northern Dohuk within the Kurdistan Region, while these operations came in accordance with a prior agreement between Baghdad and Ankara during the visit of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to Baghdad  link

CandyKisses:  Al-Gizani: Barzani’s visit is the culmination of a positive movement between Baghdad and Erbil

{Politics:Euphrates News} A member of the General Assembly of the Hikma Movement, Sami Gizani, promised the visit of the head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, "coronation" of a positive movement between Baghdad and Erbil.

Al-Jizani, during his hosting of the program {Free Word} broadcast by the Euphrates satellite channel this evening, said:

- Barzani's visit came to consolidate relations and the state of clarity and transparency is present in Baghdad and is the culmination of a positive movement between Baghdad and Erbil.
- Baghdad remains the sponsor, and the country can for everyone under the constitution and laws to regulate the relationship with Erbil.

-The Sudanese government of Mohammed Shia has 3 elements of a force and is {a parliamentary arm, a coalition of state administration, and the personality of the prime minister}.

- Personal desires weaken the building of the homeland, and there are parties working to make crises and harmony and peace do not benefit them, and we need to make ranks and it is in Iraq's interest that Baghdad and Erbil are strong.

- Iraq emerged from a major crisis after the victory over the terrorist ISIS, and the sounds of starrel are working to create a repelling environment for the meeting, politics and the economy, and today we need a national voice that represents all Iraqis and the coalition of the state administration is a successful model of Iraqi unity.

- The size of the problems during the many 20 decades between Baghdad and Erbil and there are parties in the region talking about issues contrary to the constitution. We believe that the Constitution and the decisions of the Federal Court are enough to solve all crises. Therefore, there is a desire on the parties to whistle them and the conviction that dialogue is the only way to solve the problems.

- Dialogue is a health condition and the political player has every strength in dismantling the scene and Barzani's visit to the coordination framework and the state administration reflects the state of maturity in the political scene.

- The personal contract affected the political scene between Baghdad and Erbil, and the dialogue will end the crises, and internal stability will block the way for foreign interference in Iraqi affairs.

- The exit of the international coalition forces from the country must be an Iraqi non-political decision, and the localization of salaries for the region's employees is a force for Baghdad and Erbil.

The head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, arrived today, Wednesday, in the capital Baghdad on an official visit, where Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, who in turn confirmed that he has come an important way in building trust between the federal governments and the region, while Barzani pointed out that the Sudanese is leading the state with intentions that have reached everyone to this comfortable situation.

It is noteworthy that after a break that lasted about 6 years, the President of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, Massoud Barzani, visits Baghdad, in a sign of the positivity of the current relations between the Kurdistan region and the federal government.

Global Financial Crisis:

1913 was a pivotal year in U.S. financial history. It marked the creation of the Federal Reserve through secretive meetings and significant legislative action. Now, as we look ahead, there’s a growing movement towards returning to the principles of the Republic and what’s often referred to as “God’s money.” This principle is embedded in Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution, which states, “No State shall… make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts.”

Fnu Lnu   Back in 2011, I was told by my attorneys, that the revaluation would follow the guide-rails set out by Dr. Shabibi. Dr Sinan Al Shabibi has quite the curricula vitae in that he...held a BSc in Economics from Baghdad University (1966), a Diploma in Advanced Studies in Economic Development, an MA in Economics from the University of Manchester (1970, 1971), and a PhD in Economics from the University of Bristol (1975). He was said to be an authority on The Marshal Plan, which in essence is what is happening in Iraq at this very moment.  I was also told that the plan was to resurrect the pre-invasion Dinar valued at $3.22 or there abouts. [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]    

Fnu Lnu  I was also told that Iraq would have no need of using the IMF model of baskets of currencies, of which an average is calculated, as that would drag down the IQD and raise up inferior currencies. In other words, a fixed rate, at least during the reconstruction/infrastructure phase. This was 13 years ago and time necessitates changes sometimes. It seems nothing is etched in stone these days but of the many things I was told in the presence of a UST agent and a couple other attorneys, everything they said at that meeting has come true so I'm going to stick with what has been dependable info. I am, however, a little surprised at the flood of info coming forth. I would have thought they would hold their cards a little closer to the vest. With that being said, never rule out the old trick of misdirection [Post 2 of 2]

JUST BE NEAT AND LOOK LIKE YOU MEANT TO GET DRESSED TO MEET SOMEONE THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE A KIND AND  FAVORABLE IMPRESSION OF YOU....ITS JUST A FIRST DATE...NOT THE WEDDING..

JUST BE A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF YOURSELF...NOT SOMEBODY ELSE...BE KIND, PUT A SMILE ON THE INSIDE...AND OUTSIDE. BE YOURSELF...BEING FAKE WONT GET YOU PAID ANY QUICKER OR BETTER IMO

REALLY FEEL THE SMILE ON THE INSIDE..VISUALIZE IT..PRACTICE IT NOW...IT REALLY DOES CHANGE THE ENERGY IN A MEETING....YOU'LL BE FINE.

I WOULD NOT VOLUNTEER TOO MANY DETAILS, IDEAS OR CONCEPTS GENERALLY,

ALL GREAT IDEAS ALWAYS FIND OPPOSITION. A NEUTRAL CONFIDENT STANCE MAY BE WISE. A FRIEND ONCE TOLD ME...."YOU DONT HAVE TO TELL EVERYBODY EVERYTHING YOU KNOW...AND ITS BETTER THAT YOU DONT".

THEY WOULD RATHER HEAR THAT YOU WANT THEM TO TELL "YOU" ABOUT ALL THE PLANS, POSSIBILITIES, STRUCTURES AND OPPORTUNITES THEY MAY PROVIDE. WM'S DONT WANT TO BE TOLD HOW TO DO THIER JOB OR HOW YOU WANT THEM TO DO IT.

ULTIMATELY THEY TRULY JUST WANT YOU TO HAND THEM THE MONEY TO PLUG INTO THEIR EXISTING SYSTEM. ...THATS THE WAY THEY ARE TRAINED AND WHAT THEY ARE GENERALLY USED TO....AND THATS JUST THE REALITY OF THE THING
.
WE WILL BE CALM, CONFIDENT AND SMILING...THEY WILL BE TIRED, DISORIENTED AND ANXIOUS...SURELY WE CAN MEET IN THE MIDDLE SOMEWHERE.
 
MAYBE A SIMPLE BUT SOMEWHAT AMBIGUOUS REPLY UPON THEIR INQUIRY MAY BE BEST...

"I PLAN TO MAKE MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY A LITTLE MORE COMFORTABLE AND THEN I WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PROTECT AND GROW MY MONEY FOR GENERATIONS...AND I NEED SOME HELP WITH THAT."

THAT WILL PUSH ALL THE NECESSARY BUTTONS.

AND REMEMBER....IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND, ASK, IF YOU DONT GET AN ANSWER YOU CAN UNDERSTAND, ASK SOMEBODY ELSE AND,......IF IT DONT FEEL RIGHT...DONT DO IT

Sample Script: 

HELLO MR. BANKER, I HAVE IRAQ DINAR, VIETNAM DONG AND ZIMBABWE CURRENCY. I WOULD LIKE TO EXCHANGE...CAN WE DISCUSS THE MOST FAVORABLE RATES AND TERMS, BOTH PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, AVAILABLE FOR EACH?

WELL MR BANKER.....I RECEIVED SOME INFORMATION IN THE PAST THAT THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ONE RATE AVAILABLE DEPENDING ON HOW WE EXECUTED THIS EXCHANGE.

 IF THERE ARE OTHER OPTIONS BESIDE AN EXCHANGE AT THE INTERNATIONAL RATE, I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE THOSE TERMS AND REQUIREMENTS IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE TO YOU OR ANY AT THIS BANK.

BE RELAXED, CONFIDENT, FRIENDLY AND PURPOSEFUL

EASY, SIMPLE, HONEST, INFORMED AND DIRECT

One of the trends we've seen over the past decade is the repatriation of physical gold reserves, often from the New York Federal Reserve.

And now the latest to take its gold back home is Nigeria. Although perhaps even more significant is the reasoning provided by Nigerian officials.

As they said they were mitigating 'the risk of the weakening US economy,¨ and that there's ¨raised apprehensions among Nigerian policymakers about the stability of the U.S. financial system.”

So we're continuing to see countries take action towards protecting their gold. And it's alarming to hear why they're doing it. But to find out more, and also take a look at the other recent precious metals news, click to watch the video now!

“Will the US set standards for stablecoins, or would we continue down the path of uncertainty?"

"Pointing to clear-cut laws in centralized finance, the company advocated for pro-stablecoin laws giving the country an edge. Describing stablecoins as the foundation for modern commerce, Circle added that it can do for finance what email did for communication. Furthermore, the company noted that stablecoin laws in the United States can help preserve the dollar as the world reserve currency."

"Circle issues the USDC and highlights its pathway to regulations. Per the release, its stablecoin reserves are public on its website calling on authorities to make broader rules to protect investors. The company added that the country is a massive opportunity to lead finance to the next internet wave."

CIRCLE SEEMS TO BE LEADING THE CHARGE IN THE US CALLING FOR CLEAR STABLECOIN REGULATION.

WILL DIGITAL CURRENCIES BECOME THE NORM?

"A CBDC is not a new currency. It is a digital representation of an existing national currency. So an Australian CBDC would have exactly the same value as an Australian dollar. It would be legal tender."

"Like the banknotes in our wallets, the CBDC we could spend using our phones would be issued by the Reserve Bank. But it would enable more sophisticated and innovative types of financial transactions, such as 'smart contracts'. The wholesale version, by contrast, would only be available to financial institutions."

"While the BIS report shows 94% of central banks are considering CBDCs, with about one third running pilot projects, most are being cautious and do not expect to issue their own digital currency in the next few years.'

WHAT ARE SMART CONTRACTS?

"A smart contract involves an instant payment made simultaneously with, and conditional on, the transfer of ownership of an asset."

Why are we discussing smart contracts when we don't even know what they are? Because we WILL be using them in our very near future. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP at the same time money changes hands through a digital platform.

"Vending machines provide a good analogy. If you insert $2 and press B4, then the machine dispenses the cookies in the B4 slot. In other words, if (and only if) the vending machine receives the required item of value, then it instantly performs the requested action."

30 TRILLION IN TOKENIZED ASSETS BY 2034?

"A new study released today by Standard Chartered and Synpulse, estimates that the demand for tokenised assets could soar to $30.1 trillion by 2034. Global trade is expected to reach $32.6 trillion by 2030."

"“We see the next three years as a critical junction for tokenisation, with trade finance assets coming to the fore as a new asset class,” said Kai Fehr, Global Head of Trade, Standard Chartered.  Banks need to increasingly take on the role of bridging the existing traditional financial markets with a newer and more open token-enabled market infrastructure."

Gold Revaluation To Stomp Out Mounting Debt? | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  7-2-2024

Globally, central banks are preparing for a gold revaluation by amassing and repatriating physical gold at a record pace while their paper debts skyrocket, says Andy Schectman, CEO & president of Miles Franklin.

Schectman believes these nations are accumulating gold in order to revalue it and offset their debt.

Silver will likely not be left behind, he notes, and points to India’s latest massive silver imports.

In a recent interview with Liberty and Finance, Andy Schectman, CEO and president of Miles Franklin, made some striking observations about the current trends in global gold markets.

According to Schectman, central banks around the world are accumulating and repatriating physical gold at a record pace, even as their paper debts continue to skyrocket. This behavior suggests that these nations may be preparing for a gold revaluation, with the aim of offsetting their debt.

Schectman is not alone in his assessment.Many experts have noted the surge in central bank gold purchases and repatriation in recent years. According to the World Gold Council, central bank gold purchases in 2020 reached their highest level since 1967, with banks adding a net total of 272.9 tonnes to their reserves. This trend has continued into 2021, with countries like Turkey and Hungary adding significantly to their gold reserves.

At the same time, there has been a marked increase in gold repatriation, with countries seeking to bring their gold holdings back home. Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands are just a few examples of countries that have repatriated substantial portions of their gold reserves in recent years.

This movement suggests a lack of faith in the international financial system and a desire for greater control over national gold reserves.

But why are central banks so keen on accumulating and repatriating gold? Schectman believes that these nations are preparing for a gold revaluation, in which the price of gold would be significantly increased.

This move could help offset the massive debts that many countries have accumulated, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

And it’s not just gold that’s seeing increased attention. Silver, too, is likely to be part of this trend. India, for instance, has recently reported massive silver imports, suggesting that the country may be looking to increase its silver holdings as well.

So what does this mean for investors? While it’s always difficult to predict market movements, the trend towards gold and silver accumulation and repatriation suggests that these precious metals could be poised for a significant revaluation. Investors who are looking to hedge against inflation or diversify their portfolios may want to consider adding physical gold and silver to their holdings.

It’s also worth noting that the trend towards gold and silver accumulation is not limited to central banks. Individual investors, too, have been increasingly turning to precious metals as a safe haven against economic uncertainty. In times of economic turmoil, gold and silver have long been seen as reliable stores of value, and this trend seems likely to continue.

In conclusion, the trend towards gold and silver accumulation and repatriation among central banks is a significant one, and suggests that these precious metals could be on the verge of a major revaluation.

While it’s impossible to predict market movements with certainty, investors who are looking to protect their portfolios against inflation and economic uncertainty may want to consider adding physical gold and silver to their holdings. As always, it’s important to do your own research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

BRICS and 20 countries Ditch Dollar: What Next?

Fastepo:  7-2-2024

30 countries start trading in local currency In the intricate world of international finance and trade, a significant trend is emerging: de-dollarization.

This term refers to the global movement by various countries to reduce their reliance on the U.S. dollar in international transactions and reserves.

Historically, the U.S. dollar has been the dominant global currency, a status established in the aftermath of World War II and solidified by the Bretton Woods Agreement of 1944.

However, several geopolitical and economic factors are now prompting nations to seek alternatives.

 In this video, we analyze the increasing movement among countries to lessen their dependence on the US dollar for global transactions.

 We explore the motivations behind these actions and provide an overview of the economic strategies involved

 Furthermore, we examine the de-dollarization initiatives within the BRICS+ group, emphasizing the key measures these nations have taken to diversify the currencies used in international trade.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

WHAT EXACTLY IS A STABLECOIN

"Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that seeks to maintain a stable value by pegging their market value to an external reference. This reference could be a fiat currency like the U.S. dollar, a commodity such as gold, or another financial instrument."

"Stablecoins play a crucial role in the cryptocurrency ecosystem due to their stability."

"They aim to provide the speed and security of a blockchain while eliminating the volatility that most cryptocurrencies endure. Initially used primarily to buy cryptocurrencies on trading platforms that did not offer fiat currency trading pairs, stablecoins have seen their adoption grow. They are now used in several blockchain-based financial services, such as lending platforms, and can even be used to pay for goods and services.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND BLOCKCHAINS?

Blockchains are the critical infrastructure underlying cryptocurrencies. The common feature of these distributed ledgers is the sequential updating of a cryptographically secure, verifiable transaction record among a network of peers all operating under a certain set of rules enforced through the software itself. This record is owned and operated in common by anyone anywhere.

While research in shared ledger technology goes back decades, the arrival of the Bitcoin blockchain introduced the first distributed ledger technology that was thoroughly decentralized and resistant to censorship, seizure and collusion.

Blockchain technology, in its various manifestations including the Ethereum blockchain and others, is ultimately a global consensus system — i.e., it allows people to coordinate and cooperate around a neutral source of information without trusting each other or a central administrator. The use cases are wide-ranging, from finance and energy trading to supply chain management.

At Cointelegraph, we are chronicling the evolving blockchain industry. Is it revolutionary or overhyped? Or both? Will it become the solution to securing trust in finance and global trade? What will be the rate of blockchain transactions in the coming years?

Stay tuned to find out.

CFTC Announces Supervisory Stress Test Results

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission today issued Supervisory Stress Test of Derivatives Clearing Organizations: Reverse Stress Test Analysis and Results, a report detailing the results of its fourth Supervisory Stress Test (SST) of derivatives clearing organization (DCO) resources. Among other findings, the 2024 report concluded the DCOs studied hold sufficient financial resources to withstand many extreme and often implausible price shocks.

The Risk Surveillance Branch of the Division of Clearing and Risk conducts periodic SSTs to assess how DCOs might fare under extreme stress. Staff previously conducted SSTs in 2016, 2017, and 2019. The 2019 SST included a reverse stress test component, and this 2024 SST is a major expansion of that, which includes nine DCOs, representing 11 clearing services across four asset classes (futures and options on futures, cleared interest rate swaps, credit default swaps, and foreign exchange products).

The purpose of the analysis was twofold: (1) to identify hypothetical combinations of extreme market shocks, concurrent with varying numbers of clearing member (CM) defaults, that would exhaust prefunded resources (DCO committed capital, and default fund), and unfunded resources available to the DCOs (this represents the reverse stress test component), and (2) to analyze the impacts of DCO use of mutualized resources on non-defaulted CMs.

Raising the three zeros from the Iraqi currency and the interim evaluation (2016 Article)

TNT:

Tishwash:  This article is from 2016. It’s a great reminder of how far we have come.

Raising the three zeros from the Iraqi currency and the interim evaluation (2016 Article)

Amer Al-Abadi

The value of the Iraqi dinar began to be worth (7) grams of gold at the beginning of its issuance according to the issuance law in the year 1931, and in 1959 a new law was issued for the Iraqi national currency, and  the Iraqi monetary and banking system continued to develop, and the value of the Iraqi dinar reached (3.3) dollars until the beginning of the war. With Iran, which led to a major collapse in the Iraqi currency

In 2004, the former Governing Council replaced the previous currency, which symbolized the previous regime, with a new currency that is currently in circulation, and the currency was dealt with in seven denominations: 50, 250, 500, 1,000, 10,000, and 25,000 dinars.

Unlike Arab countries, there have been no coins in Iraq for about 25 years. 

The project to delete the three zeros was scheduled to be completed in 2011, but it was not completed, then it was postponed to 2013, then postponed to 2015, and now the plan is scheduled to be implemented in early 2017, noting that the process of deleting the zeros took place in several countries.

Three zeros were deleted from the Zimbabwean dollar in 2006. Romania deleted four zeros from its currency in 2005. Bolivia deleted three zeros from its currency in 2008. Turkey deleted six zeros from its currency in 2005. Sudan deleted two zeros from its currency in 2007.

Central Bank Director Mahdi Al-Alaq said, saying: “The central bank began the first steps of the project by choosing the designs, companies and country in which the currencies will be printed.”

He pointed out that "the introduction of the new currency does not mean destroying the old currencies, but they will continue in circulation for about ten years," pointing out that "this period will enable the central bank to withdraw the old currency according to the known dynamics in order to preserve liquidity in the market."

 Justifications for the replacement process

 1. The existence of a large monetary block worth 30 trillion dinars, with a number of 4 billion notes.  

 2. Currently, the largest denomination of cash is 25 thousand dinars, equivalent to approximately 21 dollars, and this requires a large volume and effort to settle daily transactions, so the amounts that exceed 20 in value are now Million is made in dollars.

 3. The presence of damage to a large percentage of the currency, especially the small denominations, and their inadmissibility in circulation, which constitute approximately one-third of the monetary mass. 

 4. The difficulty of performing calculations in light of numbers with more than 14 zeros from a practical and technical standpoint, and the possibility of an error occurring, whether adding or deleting a zero.

 Benefits of the exchange process

 1. Security: It reduces the risks resulting from carrying large sums of money.

 2. The costs of counting, sorting, and auditing will decrease if larger denominations are issued.     

 3. Raising the zeros will create a psychological impact on the citizen by strengthening his currency and adopting it more widely instead of foreign currency   

 4. Including the Iraqi dinar in the basket of global currencies and dealing in it officially on the world’s stock exchanges and financial markets.

5. The possibility of concluding economic agreements to deal in the national currency, and this will cover a very large portion of foreign transfers, which are a waste of the national wealth of hard currencies.

6. Manipulation of the currency exchange market will be eliminated

 7. The work of corrupt suspicious banks and their agents and brokers will stop.

 8. A higher ceiling will be set for the amounts transferred abroad from the active exchange currency to ensure that the currency is not smuggled.

 9. Changing the currency affects the psychological aspect represented by the desire for a currency with a high exchange rate. This rise brings joy to the return of the dinar to its rich past.

 Disadvantages of the replacement process:

1. The emergence of a mathematical problem between the old and new numbers in transactions and in reading and managing trillion numbers.

2. The need to print large denominations.

3. Foreign shares of the stock exchange will decrease by 20% because foreign investors believe that changing the currency will reduce profits.

4. Removing three zeros from the currency may contribute to creating a state of monetary illusion  

 5. It will cost the state budget large sums of money, in addition to being a door to financial corruption, in addition to not addressing the problem of financial inflation because the Iraqi market imports all goods and services from abroad, which means a drain on hard currencies.

6. There is no official data on the cost of Iraqi banknotes. Note that the cost of a banknote in Britain is 7 US cents. It is sufficient to know the number of notes in circulation to give an idea of the total cost.

7. Four billion notes. Thus, the cost of printing them becomes 289 million dollars. This amount is huge 

8. Add to that another amount to mint coins, not to mention the money needed to face the consequences of deleting zeros, such as replacing postage and financial stamps

9. Feeling poor: Deleting zeros makes a person feel poor, as someone who had ten million dinars now only has ten thousand of them

10. Expecting prices to rise.

11. In light of the inevitability of introducing the Kurdish language to the first issue of the currency after the new constitution comes into effect, it is necessary to benefit from the experiences of other currencies.

 For example, the euro is the currency of many peoples in Europe, but it does not contain any language, only symbols, numbers and pictures.
