In a statement to the official Iranian news agency IRNA on Saturday, Keyvan Yar Ahmadi said: By holding several specialized meetings with representatives of the Planning and Budget Organization and submitting an explanatory report with supporting documents related to the technical work description and financial estimate for the implementation of the project

And explaining the objectives of developing the Azar oil field, the approval of the Economic Council was finally obtained for developing the second phase of this oil field in the form of new oil contracts with an expected investment of more than one billion dollars, and it is expected that this will be done with the fulfillment of the basic conditions in the contract by the contractor and the relevant procedures by the employer, and this contract will be implemented and become effective before the end of this year.

Yar Ahmadi pointed to the launch of the Dehloran Gas and LNG Plant (NGL-3100) in the near future, and said: The compression and sweetening facilities of the associated gas in the Azar field, which were completed a long time ago, have been launched and are ready to send gas to this plant.

The first phase of the development of this complex plant will reach its goal by achieving all the contractual targets and sharing the Iranian share of more than 70%, which has led to the production of 83 million barrels of oil and revenues of nearly $6 billion.

It is noteworthy that the Azar oil field is located in the city of Mehran in Ilam province, western Iran.

The reserves of this field amount to 2 billion and 500 million barrels of crude oil, and the amount of oil that can be extracted from it is estimated at 400 million barrels.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani's Advisor: 3 Economic Benefits for Iraq from Foreign Partnerships

The economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that the common external ties with the world contribute to achieving three main positive results for the Iraqi economy, while pointing out the importance of these ties in enhancing comprehensive economic development.

Saleh explained to {Euphrates News} that: "The first result is represented in diversifying the national economy, as these links contribute to breaking the monopoly of the economy and reducing dependence on oil resources, by supporting the advanced agricultural, industrial, tourism, and services sectors."

He also stressed "the importance of encouraging small and medium enterprises, which are the backbone of the sustainable economy, especially with the strength and stability of global links."

The second result is related to strengthening partnerships with the private sector, as Saleh pointed out "the need to facilitate partnerships between the public and private sectors to implement major projects, in addition to providing incentives to the private sector to invest in non-oil sectors, which enhances the diversity of the economy."

He added that "the third result lies in investing in human resources, by developing the education and vocational training system to meet the needs of the labor market rapidly."

Saleh called for "promoting innovation and entrepreneurship among young people, with a focus on artificial intelligence technology and the effective integration of information technology and knowledge," noting that "Iraq can benefit from its strategic geographical location as a link between Asia and Europe to enhance its role as a global trade center through the "Development Road" project. 

He stressed "the importance of building strong economic relations with countries such as China, Europe, Turkey, Iran, and the Gulf states to achieve an exchange of economic benefits," stressing that "Iraq looks forward with steadfastness and a clear vision to achieving this goal through legislation and regulations that facilitate its integration into the global economy, while enhancing international cooperation and building long-term economic relations."

At the end of his statement, Saleh stressed that "stability in all its aspects is a basic condition for implementing these steps and achieving comprehensive economic development." 

The head of the National State Forces Alliance, Mr. Ammar al-Hakim, stressed during his speech at the mass gathering in Najaf on the anniversary of the martyrdom of the Martyr of the Mihrab, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Hakim {may God sanctify his secret} yesterday, Friday, that combating corruption, establishing security, and building a balanced economy is our gateway to building a strong state, while calling for striving through Iraq To establish long-term economic ties and common interests that our peoples and the peoples of our Arab and Islamic region enjoy.

Mr. Ammar Al-Hakim also stressed the importance of focusing on reconstruction projects, economic development and increasing investments in the country.  link

Tishwsh:  Al-Nusairi: Monetary policy indicators for 2024 confirm that the Central Bank is the first economic institution in Iraq

The economic and banking advisor and member of the International Union of Arab Bankers, Samir Al-Nusairi, confirmed that through accurate financial and statistical analysis, the Central Bank of Iraq revealed the positive indicators it achieved for the third quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2022-2023, and also announced the suspension of work on the electronic platform on 12/31/2024.

Al-Nusairi explained in an interview with "Al-Eqtisad News" that the success of the monetary policy adopted by the bank during the year 2024 and the positive indicators of business results for the third quarter/2024 compared to the same period for the years 2022-2023, which indicated the following: Total deposits in banks operating in Iraq achieved a growth of (4.2%), in contrast, cash credit granted by operating banks recorded a growth of (11.6%), and deposits in private banks operating in Iraq recorded a growth of (14%), in contrast, cash credit granted by private banks achieved a growth of (15.1%), in contrast, the broad money supply in Iraq recorded a growth of (3.3%) in the third quarter of 2024.

He added that the gold reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq recorded a significant growth of (57%), as their value reached (16) trillion dinars, compared to their value of (10.7) trillion dinars in the third quarter of 2023. The important thing is that the annual inflation rates recorded a percentage that is among the lowest annual inflation rates in the countries of the region for the months of August and September of 2024, as the rest of the percentage is acceptable at (3.7%) and (3.1%) respectively, and this reflects price stability, maintaining the general price rate, achieving the most important goals of monetary policy, and the success of monetary policy in Iraq.

Al-Nusairi stressed that by the end of 2024, it becomes clear beyond doubt that the procedures of the Central Bank of Iraq and the efforts it has made since the beginning of 2023 until now, with the support and cooperation of the government, have borne fruit and begun to yield positive results according to what was planned, with detailed procedures and administrative and technical steps and understandings

 To regulate the financing of foreign trade with Arab and international banks by approving the opening of accounts for Iraqi banks in American, Chinese, European, Emirati, Indian and Turkish correspondent banks to deal directly with them for foreign transfers in the currencies of these countries, which are the dollar, euro, Chinese yuan, Indian rupee, Emirati dirham, Turkish lira, Jordanian dinar and Saudi riyal,

And leaving the electronic platform in 2024 and allowing banks to supply dollars and foreign currencies into Iraq from their accounts with correspondent banks or abroad according to specific controls issued by the Central Bank of Iraq, as well as reaching the opening of many accounts for Iraqi banks in correspondent banks.

He pointed out that foreign transfers, which reach 97%, are made at the official exchange rate, and work is underway to facilitate foreign transfers for small traders and to identify speculators' plans to harm the Iraqi economy.

A foreign exchange reserve of 153 tons of gold has been maintained, with a cumulative reserve ratio of 140%, to cover imports and local currency in circulation and provide the necessary liquidity to meet the needs of the Ministry of Finance to implement the government's operating budget.

He also noted that the developmental measures for technical, technological and administrative infrastructure in the Central Bank are being implemented accurately and comprehensively in its banking reform strategy in all its axes, and are an embodiment of what it has specified in the roadmap that it has clarified in cooperation with the government in accordance with what is stated in the government's program in Axis 12 (Financial and Banking Reform) and Paragraph 7 thereof, which is related to developing and enabling banks to contribute to development and investment.

Al-Nusairi concluded his speech by saying that the efforts made by the Central Bank in 2024 are an affirmation of the soundness of the implementation of its third strategy for the years 2024-2026, and it is trying to achieve its main and subsidiary goals according to their timetables, with wishes for success and achieving economic stability because the primary duty of banks is to be (stability) banks.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

FDIC WANTED TO SEND SHOCKWAVES THROUGH BANKS, ACCORDING TO RIPPLE'S TOP LAWYER

Coinbase's top has called on Congress to investigate 'Operation Choke Point 2.0'

Stuart Alderoty, chief legal officer at Ripple, has opined that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) tried to send "shockwaves" throughout various banks with its intimidating letters.

"As a former bank GC, these letters scream one message: shut down everything crypto-related ASAP—not just the products and services mentioned," he said on social media. This comes after cryptocurrency trading giant Coinbase managed to secure a court order in order to get plenty of unredacted letters that were sent to dozens of banks by the FDIC.

According to Paul Grewal, chief legal officer at Coinbase, there was a "coordinated effort" to put a stop to a wide array of crypto activities, including mundane Bitcoin transactions.

The recently published letters are supposed to support the crypto industry's long-standing claims about the so-called "Operation Choke Point 2.0." 

The original "Operation Chokepoint," which was uncovered by The Wall Street Journal back in 2013, was conducted by the FDIC by issuing informal suggestions to banks in order to clamp down on various high-risk activities that ranged from firework sales to payday loans. The initiative attracted widespread criticism due to violating due process to specifically target disfavored industries. 

Cryptocurrency advocates have alleged that a similar playbook is being used against their industry. Earlier, Alderoty spoke in great detail about the supposed "origin story" of this anti-crypto initiative, arguing that crypto became the new target in 2021 when the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) started demanding pre-approval for banks' crypto activities. 

The FDIC then followed suit in 2022. Grewal has called on Congress to investigate this alleged crackdown. "The new Congress should launch hearings on all this without delay," he said.

IOTA READY FOR MAINNET RE-LAUNCH: BRIDGING DEFI AND INSTITUTIONAL NEEDS WITH MoveVM + EVM

▪️IOTA is ready to launch an enhanced mainnet protocol with EVM and MoveVM integrations.

▪️The IOTA Rebased protocol will boost the adoption and functionalities of RWAs and tokenizations.

With the IOTA Rebased protocol, the network is reportedly set for its mainnet re-launch in early 2025. On social media platform X, Michael Atlan highlighted that the mainnet re-launch positions IOTA for real-world adoption.

New IOTA Mainnet To Bridge DeFi and Institutional Needs

Altan explained that IOTA is bridging the needs of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and institutions through MoveVM and EVM integration. As CNF reported, the IOTA Foundation recently introduced the Rebased protocol set to improve the network’s scalability, programmability, and decentralization.

The Rebased protocol establishes a completely decentralized Layer 1 (L1) network with the addition of advanced features. 

These new features include Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and Move Virtual Machine (MoveVM) support. MoveVM introduces strong data abstraction capabilities, simplifying complex resource management tasks.

Additionally, the direct integration of EVM into the L1 layer aims to enhance the security and decentralization of dApps built on IOTA’s EVM Layer 2 network. The transfer of EVM operations to the L1 layer will also boost network activity, increasing burned tokens.

The IOTA Rebased proposal also seeks to deliver higher throughput, anticipated above 50,000 TPS on the network. IOTA has already released a public testnet to test these proposed changes in the real world.

CNF mentioned that the community had approved the initiative through a governance vote, with 98% of the voters supporting the motion. As a result, the mainnet release is set to go live in early 2025, per a CNF report.

Atlan added that IOTA’s establishment of regulated finance solutions and a $50 million growth fund signals its readiness for the mainnet re-launch. He also pointed out that the network has genuine collaborations and no VC baggage.

Furthermore, most tokens have already been circulated, highlighting the huge liquidity of IOTA.

IOTA’s Key Focus and Growing Adoption

Following its expanded use cases and widespread market, IOTA now focuses on distributed ledger technology. CNF recently disclosed that IOTA has progressed in tokenization, digital trade finance, regulatory compliance, and decentralized infrastructure.

The platform has formed strategic partnerships in tokenization projects, recently collaborating with the UAE. Such endeavors will open the door for innovative applications of asset tokenization within a regulatory framework.

The IOTA token is gaining ground in the crypto market through these initiatives and collaborations. The IOTA coin joined the latest market rally, posting an 18.53% increase in value to trade at $0.335.

IOTA price was trading at $0.3595 at press time, up 1.3% in the last 24 hours. The market capitalization rose to $1.2 billion, suggesting investor optimism. Crypto analyst Lokman Duman noted that upward momentum could push IOTA toward $0.3600 and $0.4000 in the near future.

Bank Runs are Back, Fed Reserves Plunge to Critical Levels

Bank Runs are Back, Fed Reserves Plunge to Critical Levels

Steven Van Metre:  1-5-2024

The phrase “bank run” conjures up images of panicked crowds lining up outside financial institutions, desperate to withdraw their savings.

While we haven’t seen scenes quite like that in recent times, the underlying anxieties that fuel such events are resurfacing, fueled by a significant and concerning development: Federal Reserve bank reserves are plummeting to what some are calling critical levels.

The “reserves” we’re talking about are the funds that commercial banks hold at the Federal Reserve. These reserves are effectively part of the banks’ safety net, allowing them to meet daily obligations, clear payments, and generally operate smoothly.

A healthy level of reserves is crucial for maintaining the stability and liquidity of the financial system.

The recent decline in these reserves is raising red flags because it indicates a potential liquidity squeeze within the banking sector. When banks have fewer reserves, they have less cushion to absorb unexpected shocks, like sudden surges in withdrawal requests. This, in turn, can heighten the risk of a bank run – a situation where a large number of customers lose confidence in a bank’s ability to fulfill its obligations and attempt to withdraw their deposits simultaneously.

Several factors are contributing to this reserve drain. One major influence is the Federal Reserve’s ongoing efforts to combat inflation. The Fed is actively reducing its balance sheet, primarily by letting its holdings of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities mature without replacing them.

This process, known as quantitative tightening, pulls liquidity out of the financial system, reducing the amount of reserves available to banks.

While the situation is certainly concerning, it’s important to remember that the financial system is far more complex than it was during previous banking crises. Regulators have learned from the past and implemented many safeguards. However, the rapid decline in reserves warrants close monitoring.

The current situation underscores the delicate balance between fighting inflation and maintaining financial stability. The Federal Reserve and other financial regulators will be closely monitoring the situation and ready to intervene if necessary. For the average person, it’s a reminder to stay informed about developments in the financial world and to consider diversifying their savings.

The headlines may sound alarming, and some level of concern is certainly warranted. However, a cautious approach, guided by reliable information, is always the best approach in navigating such complex economic waters. The future will hinge on policymakers’ ability to navigate this challenging landscape with precision and foresight.

Watch the video below from Steven Van Metre for further insights and information.

Fri. 3 Jan. 2025 HISTORIC: QFS Now in Full Control – Elite’s Billions Confiscated, DNA Verification Enforced, Quantum Wealth Transfer Begins, Redemption Cards Activated, EBS Ready, and Starlink Secures the Grid! …Gitmo TV on Telegram

The final phase of Operation Phoenix is (allegedly) underway, marking a historic turning point in the battle for global financial liberation. Trump’s re-election has (allegedly) solidified his control over GESARA and accelerated the dismantling of the corrupt financial system. December 2024 brings undeniable progress with stakes higher than ever.

GESARA Teachings: The Key to Navigating the New World: GESARA isn’t just about wealth redistribution—it’s a lifeline for thriving in the era of the Quantum Financial System (QFS). Grasping the teachings is essential to engage with Redemption Centers or access reclaimed funds. These principles guide the dismantling of the deepstate’s financial grip, ensuring transparency and empowerment.

Operation Phoenix Intensifies: Trillions in Elite Assets (allegedly) Seized: In late December 2024, elite teams seized over $3 trillion in global assets. Major financial hubs, including Singapore, Dubai, and New York, were raided, targeting the corrupt elite. These assets are now (allegedly) funneled into the GESARA wealth redistribution initiative. Trump’s team has (allegedly) neutralized key players in the banking cartel, signaling the end of the Federal Reserve and IMF.

New Quantum Vaults (allegedly) Activated: The QFS unveiled Quantum Vaults, secure digital storage for reclaimed wealth. Using quantum encryption powered by Starlink, these vaults ensure transparent and secure distribution of funds. Quantum Access Cards, enhanced with biometric pulse-reading technology, guarantee only(allegedly)  authorized access linked directly to an individual’s DNA.

Starlink Expands Q-Grid: Global Emergency Updates Begin: Starlink’s Q-Grid now covers (allegedly) 100% of the Earth’s surface. As of December 28, 2024, Global Emergency Updates began(allegedly)  broadcasting GESARA progress and EBS updates directly to the people, bypassing traditional media channels. Trump’s team is (allegedly) preparing for a major January 2025 announcement regarding the wealth transfer.

Operation Sentinel: New Deployments to Safeguard Redemption Centers: AI-powered tactical units are deployed under Operation Sentinel to protect Redemption Centers. These units neutralize threats using quantum surveillance technology. Deepstate sabotage efforts to disrupt Redemption Centers have (allegedly) been thwarted by QFS algorithms ensuring the security of the rollout.

Elite Takedown Expands to Underground Networks: GESARA teams have (allegedly) raided underground bunkers in Antarctica, the Swiss Alps, and the Nevada desert, (allegedly) uncovering free energy devices and advanced medical tools. These discoveries will (allegedly) soon be released under Trump’s vision for a self-sustaining World.

Starlink-EBS Integration: Prepare for the January 2025 Event: The EBS is now (allegedly) fully integrated with Starlink’s Q-Grid, preparing for a global 48-hour communication lockdown in January 2025. During this time, (allegedly) the truth about the old financial system, the elite’s takedown, and the full activation of the QFS will be broadcast, marking the beginning of the largest wealth redistribution in history.

The Revolution Cannot Be Stopped: As we approach 2025, humanity stands on the brink of financial liberation. The QFS, GESARA, and Redemption Centers are weapons against financial oppression. The elite’s power is crumbling, and nothing can stop what is coming. Align with the QFS—the dawn of a new era is here.

Jeff  They're implementing their banking reforms.  You have no idea how close you are to this rate change.  This is Iraq implementing their banking reform right in front of us.  The electronic platform for selling dollars has been suspended.  That means the currency auctions have ended...That's a critical piece to this.  That's the banking reform getting implemented.  That's Iraq preparing to revalue their currency.  That makes this month of January extremely critical regarding our investment and the revaluation of Iraq's currency.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE PRODUCES 600,000 RLUSD TOKENS WHILE STRATEGICALLY LIMITING CIRCULATING SUPPLY

▪️Ripple strategically increases RLUSD supply while keeping the token’s market cap steady.

▪️RLUSD is 7% over-collateralized, backed by $83 million reserves for enhanced stability.

▪️Ripple limits RLUSD circulation to maintain price stability amid competitive stablecoin markets.

Ripple, the blockchain-based digital payment company, has made headlines with the creation of 600,000 new RLUSD tokens. Despite this production, the cautious move by Ripple has left many wondering if Ripple is carefully managing the coin’s value and making sure it stays strong in the competitive crypto market.

Ripple Produces 600,000 RLUSD Token

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin currently holds a market cap of 53.1 million tokens, even after the recent creation of an additional 600,000 tokens. This indicates that despite producing more tokens, Ripple is maintaining a steady supply.

The company has secured approximately $83 million in reserves, which are backing over $77.2 million worth of RLUSD tokens. This means the stablecoin is 7% over-collateralized, reflecting Ripple’s effort to provide stability and reliability to the token

Furthermore, Ripple has promised to release its first attestation report within 30 days of RLUSD’s public launch. This report will detail the composition of the assets backing the stablecoin, adding transparency to Ripple’s operations and reinforcing its credibility.

Ripple’s Master Plan

Despite the recent creation of more tokens, analyst Arthur believes the company is controlling the supply of RLUSD to keep its value stable. If too many tokens are released too fast, could drop their price, which Ripple wants to prevent.

By limiting the supply now, Ripple may be positioning itself for future conditions that could drive higher demand and adoption of RLUSD.

As Ripple faces robust competition from major players like Circle and Tether, its careful supply management and growing presence in the market could make RLUSD a strong contender in the stablecoin space.

RLUSD’s Role in the XRP Ecosystem

In addition, Ripple President Monica Long believes RLUSD could set a new standard for stablecoins, citing its strong regulatory compliance as a key advantage. By adding RLUSD to the XRP ecosystem, Ripple hopes to increase XRP’s usefulness and improve liquidity for large institutional trades.

This move could make the network even more attractive, especially after Ripple’s partial legal victories, which clarified XRP’s classification in certain situations.

BRICS NEWS:  BRICS NATION ANNOUNCES INTENT TO EMBRACE TRUMP, US AMID TARIFF

In what is a rather surprising turn of events, one BRICS nation has announced its intent to embrace US President-elect Donald Trump and his incoming administration amid the ongoing 100% tariff threat. Indeed, the returning president has been clear on his stance regarding the alliance’s de-dollarization efforts.

In a post to his social media platform late last year, Trump stated he would impose tariffs on BRICS nations. The warning targeted those global south countries attempting to create their own trade currency. For much of his presidential campaign, Trump has noted the importance of maintaining the global status of the greenback.

BRICS Country Turns to Trump? 100% Tariff Warning Drives Plea for Cooperation

The last two years have seen the BRICS bloc increase its prominence on a global scale. Indeed, the economic alliance has sought to challenge the status quo and brought forth renewed de-dollarization efforts. Those pursuits appear to be going off without a hitch until the tail end of 2024.

With the impending arrival of a new president, things are shifting in the United States. Moreover, as a stark warning has been issued, one BRICS nation has announced its intent to embrace Trump and the US as tariffs loom. Moreover, it could lead to a groundbreaking shift for the economic collective.

Indeed, India has reportedly called to strengthen cooperation with the United States, according to officials. Specifically, they have stated clearly their desire to strengthen an economic relationship with the West.

“We are looking forward to a very deep and substantive engagement with the new US administration,” India’s Trade Minister said, according to a Reuters report. To this point, India has embraced bilateral relations with the United States for the Obama, Biden, and first Trump administrations.

Although it is no surprise that it is set to continue, things do appear different in 2025. The BRICS bloc has drawn its line in the sand and made its feelings about the US dollar known. Moreover, America has responded in kind. Ultimately, it will provide an incredibly intriguing geopolitical development to take place over the next year.

Tishwash: New holiday for all Iraqis

Witnesses next week vacation Official next Monday on the occasion of memory establishment Army  Iraqi Al-Basel, according to the Official Holidays Law No. 12 of 2024.

It will be on Monday, January 6th. vacation Official for all Iraqis On the occasion of the 104th anniversary of the founding of Army  Iraqi The brave.  link

Tishwash:  Is Iraq facing a cash crisis?

The amount of money sold, domestically and internationally, by the Central Bank in dollars this year has exceeded $62 billion, resulting in the receipt of dinars in equivalent proportion, averaging approximately 80.6 trillion dinars for the year. Non-oil revenues generated from taxes, fees, and customs by the end of October 2024 amounted to 14.3 trillion dinars.

 Combined, these revenues total around 95 trillion dinars. However, by the end of October, Iraq's total expenditures had reached 122 trillion dinars. With two months of expenditures still unaccounted for, it is evident that the dinar reserves derived from oil-based dollar revenues have been exhausted.

This comes despite reports from the Central Bank's Foreign Currency Selling Window, which indicate that total transfers abroad (remittances and credits) this year have reached the highest level in seven years—34% higher than last year. Similarly, dinars returned to the Central Bank and subsequently to the Ministry of Finance in proportion to this increase. So why is there talk of a cash shortage affecting the distribution of December salaries for some ministries in Baghdad and the November salary allocations for the Kurdistan Region?

According to reports from the Iraqi Ministry of Finance on revenues and expenditures, total expenditures for the first nine months of this year amounted to 94.5 trillion dinars, including 85 trillion dinars in operating expenses and 9.5 trillion dinars in investment expenses. However, according to the Ministry of Finance's October report, total expenditures had climbed to 122.7 trillion dinars, with operating expenses accounting for 100.6 trillion dinars and investment expenses rising to 22 trillion dinars.

Looking back at previous months, it becomes evident that average monthly expenditures ranged between 10 and 11 trillion dinars. For instance, total expenditures from the beginning of the year to July were 73 trillion dinars, increasing to 83 trillion dinars in August and 94 trillion dinars in September—demonstrating consistent monthly spending within this range.

However, expenditures surged dramatically in October, reaching 28.2 trillion dinars and bringing the total for the year to 122 trillion dinars by the end of that month. This significant jump was driven by increases in both operating and investment expenditures. Operating expenditures, which typically ranged from 9 to 10 trillion dinars per month, rose to 15.6 trillion dinars in October, while investment expenditures, previously averaging 1 trillion dinars per month, soared to 12.6 trillion dinars in the same period.

As a result of the excessive expenditures in October, the Ministry of Finance now lacks the cash needed to cover expenses at the end of the year. October's spending was nearly triple the average monthly expenditure of previous months.While total revenues for the first 10 months exceeded expenditures, converting the full oil revenue—received in dollars—into Iraqi dinars or conducting domestic transactions in dinars has not been feasible which is due to government policies mandating that all domestic transactions must be conducted in dinars, while foreign transactions must be conducted in dollars and processed through remittance.

According to the Iraqi Ministry of Finance, October's expenditures rose so significantly that the total amount of dinars generated from selling dollars domestically and internationally, combined with non-oil domestic revenues, was insufficient to cover the spending. Total expenditures for the month reached 28 trillion dinars, approximately 18 trillion dinars more than in previous months. It remains unclear how the Ministry of Finance plans to manage expenses for the remainder of the year, as 95% of Iraq's currency is held outside the banking system, which amounts to 95.5 trillion dinars out of a total of 101.3 trillion dinars by the end of November 2024.

The underlying issue here highlights the weaknesses in Iraq's monetary system and the absence of a coherent expenditure and revenue policy. Despite having not spent 60% of its allocated budget, the Ministry of Finance is already encountering significant challenges. Had the budget been fully implemented as planned, cash shortages would likely have arisen mid-year rather than at year-end.

In conclusion, is it true that Iraq has cash problems? Yes, Iraq is indeed facing cash problems. However, these issues are not caused by low oil revenues, declining oil prices, or a shortage of money or dollar issuance. Instead, the root cause lies in the government's economic expenditure policy, which allowed spending to surge by approximately 300% in a single month.  link

Tishwash:  Government Advisor: Monetary Stabilization Mechanism Will Maintain Financial Stability in the Country

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Friday, that the Central Bank has adopted the monetary reinforcement mechanism to feed the national banks' requests for foreign currency, indicating that the monetary reinforcement mechanism will maintain financial stability in the country.

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that "the function of the Central Bank will continue to move in two directions: the first is to meet the needs of national banks for foreign currency with their correspondents, which confirms that the new monetary reinforcement mechanism will work to provide monetary stability on the part of the monetary authority in the two issues of continuing the monetary sterilization policy that is concerned with controlling the levels of local liquidity by exchanging foreign currency for the dinar,"

Noting that "the new monetary reinforcement mechanism will maintain a fixed exchange rate of 1,320 dinars for every dollar, which will enable the Central Bank to achieve stability in the external value of the Iraqi dinar by controlling the growth in the money supply within the operational objectives of monetary policy through what is called the monetary transmission mechanism to achieve intermediate or real long-term goals in achieving stability in the general price level or reducing growth in inflation rates, and this comes in conjunction with the stability of the exchange rate and the growth of the money supply to achieve stability in the general price level."

Saleh added that "the second trend is to provide foreign currency to correspondents of national banks in order to facilitate the stability of the real supply of basic goods and services flowing into the domestic market with high fluidity, and to make compliance control of foreign currency transactions on two levels: national through the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorist Funds Office, and external through the role of correspondent banks that undertake the task of auditing compliance issues." link

Tishwash:  Parliamentary Wealth: Baghdad and Erbil Problems Due to the Absence of Oil and Gas Law 

Member of the Parliamentary Oil, Gas and Resources Committee, Basem Naghamish, considered today, Friday, that most of the problems occurring between Baghdad and Erbil are due to the absence of the oil and gas law. 

Naghamish told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The draft oil and gas law is one of the basic tasks of the political agreement paper under which the Sudanese government was formed.” 

He added, "The government has formed a negotiating committee headed by the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs, the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, SOMO, and a number of relevant government agencies to negotiate with the regional government regarding the oil and gas law "

He pointed out that "the absence of the oil and gas law is one of the most prominent problems between Baghdad and Erbil after 2003, and stressed the need to send the oil and gas law for study and voting in the House of Representatives as soon as possible."   link

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Friday Evening 1-3-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BEARS, BULLS AND REGULATIONS SHAPE CRYPTO’S 2025 ASPIRATIONS

The global cryptocurrency market is capitalized at over $3 trillion. Much of that value is concentrated at the top, among a few key digital tokens.

Bitcoin, as the first and most widely recognized cryptocurrency, plays a central role in the sector’s valuation, commanding a substantial share. At its highest, bitcoin’s market capitalization has approached $2 trillion, representing roughly two-thirds of the landscape’s overall market value.

Bitcoin topped $100,000 as 2024 came to a close, but has skidded down double digits from its peak of over $108,000 around two weeks ago.

This concentration of value at the top has implications for the overall market’s volatility, innovation and the evolution of altcoins, with bitcoin often setting the tone for broader market trends. It also raises questions about the future of crypto market dynamics as new technologies and use cases continue to emerge.

With the news that the Tether stablecoin’s (USDT) market cap fell more than 1% to $137.24 billion this week, the largest decline since the crash of the FTX exchange in November 2022, understanding the impact of regulations on the marketplace is becoming crucial for businesses looking to capture efficiencies and advantages from the use of tokens such as stablecoins.

After all, USDT is supposed to maintain a stable, flat value of $1. As of reporting, the stablecoin is a smidge below that value, sitting at $0.9993. The decline comes after several European Union-based crypto exchanges removed USDT due to compliance issues with the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation that took full effect on Dec. 30 (the actual law around stablecoins kicked in six months ago).

Per the MiCA regulations, stablecoin issuers must hold an e-money license in at least one EU member state in order to operate across the 27-nation bloc. Tether, which has faced controversy throughout its history, has yet to apply for an e-money license.

The Role of Institutional Adoption

In 2025, the cryptocurrency market may find itself at a crossroads. If the bulls are right, the industry could see substantial growth, with more institutional investment, regulatory clarity and real-world use cases for cryptocurrencies

However, if the bears prevail, we may witness a volatile market, regulatory crackdowns and a continued struggle to overcome the technology’s shortcomings.

The bullish optimism surrounding institutional adoption is one of the strongest driving forces. In 2025, financial institutions, banks and even central banks are expected to play a significant role in legitimizing cryptocurrencies.

Global financial giants are already eyeing blockchain for solutions like cross-border payments and settlement systems, providing liquidity for crypto markets and solidifying their utility in traditional finance.

Stablecoins — digital currencies pegged to traditional assets like the U.S. dollar — are likely to become a common mode of transaction. With major players in FinTech, like PayPal and Visa, already integrating cryptocurrencies into their platforms and experimenting with stablecoins, real-world use cases could soon be as easy as tapping a credit card.

The Bearish Argument: Volatility, Regulatory Shadows

Perhaps the biggest concern for crypto’s future is government regulation. The lack of clear rules around cryptocurrencies has been a major deterrent for mainstream adoption.

PYMNTS covered on Nov. 25 how cryptocurrencies, and more specifically their underlying blockchain technologies, have gone from a solution in search of a problem to a solution in hopes of some regulatory clarity. Of course, that clarity may come when cryptocurrency companies and other firms embrace and invest in, rather than resist, appropriate guardrails for their industries.

The dynamic situation at home in the U.S. has even led to people like venture capitalist Marc Andreessen arguing that banks are cutting ties with customers on the political right, or with industries such as the cryptocurrency sector.

Writing about the issue earlier this month, PYMNTS argued that while Andreessen’s claims might resonate with the frustrations held by many corners of the cryptocurrency and FinTech sectors, the reality could be far more nuanced than a political assault on those industries.

“After all, innovation typically moves faster than regulation, and the growing strain between traditional banks and future-fit FinTech and crypto firms can also be in part chalked up to the inevitable consequence of outdated regulatory frameworks, stricter know your customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering (AML) standards, as well as heightened fraud risks,” that report said.

WESTERN MARKETS LOSING THEIR GRIP ON GOLD & SILVER

Precious metals expert Peter Grandich warns of Western markets losing their grip on gold and silver, with Asia emerging as the dominant force.

In a recent interview by Liberty and Finance, renowned precious metals expert Peter Grandich discussed the shifting dynamics of the global gold and silver markets. Grandich, a seasoned investor with decades of experience, highlighted the diminishing influence of Western markets like London and New York, asserting that "Asia is becoming the center for Metals trading... Europe particularly London and New York as each day goes by is becoming less and less of a force."

This shift, he argued, could have profound implications for market volatility and price discovery. "The difference is there are serious physical buyers of it [gold], not these paper pushers that have existed in London and New York," Grandich emphasized. He further noted that the decline of Western dominance could lead to reduced market manipulation and increased price stability in the long run.

Bullish on Gold, Cautious on Silver

Grandich maintained a bullish outlook on gold, predicting a potential price target of $3,000 per ounce in 2025. He attributed this bullish sentiment to continued central bank buying and the potential for increased mainstream investor interest. However, he cautioned that a correction, potentially reaching $2,300, could occur in the short term.

Regarding silver, Grandich acknowledged its strong fundamentals but expressed concern over its persistent inability to decouple from gold's price movements. He believes that silver needs to break above the $35-$36 per ounce level to establish its momentum.

Geopolitical Uncertainty and the US Dollar

Grandich highlighted the potential impact of geopolitical uncertainty and the weakening US dollar on precious metals prices. He emphasized that the rising national debt and the ongoing trade war could weaken the dollar's strength, bolstering the appeal of gold as a safe-haven asset.

Beyond market predictions, Grandich stressed the importance of sound financial planning, emphasizing the need for individuals to prioritize cash flow management and reduce reliance on debt. "Less is more," he stated, emphasizing the importance of living within one's means and minimizing financial risk.

Calls for a Great Debt Reset, the Coming Jubilee

Calls for a Great Debt Reset, the Coming Jubilee

Michael Cowan:  1-2-2025

The global financial landscape feels increasingly precarious. From soaring national debts to crushing household burdens, many are struggling under the weight of obligations they can barely manage.

In such times, whispers of radical solutions emerge, often echoing ancient concepts.

One such concept gaining traction is the idea of a debt jubilee – a large-scale forgiveness of debts, a reset button for the global economy.

Throughout history, jubilees, as envisioned in ancient religious texts, were designed to restore balance and alleviate the burden on the poor. The modern interpretation, though not always religiously motivated, centers on the same principle: a widespread and decisive act of debt forgiveness to address systemic financial imbalances.

But what would this look like in the 21st century, and what are the potential benefits and pitfalls?

The concept of a debt jubilee remains controversial, debated fiercely by economists, policymakers, and the public. While it presents a potentially transformative solution to deep-seated financial imbalances, the risks are considerable.

Whether a modern jubilee is truly around the corner, or whether it remains a radical idea on the fringes, remains to be seen. However, the conversation itself highlights the growing urgency to address the systemic issues that contribute to our current debt crisis.

As the world grapples with the legacy of an increasingly interconnected and financially volatile system, the idea of a debt reset, in some form, will likely continue to gain momentum. The crucial question is not if we need significant change, but how we can achieve a more sustainable and equitable financial future for all.

Watch the video below from Michael Cowan for further insights and information.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE XRP NEWS: CEO BRAD GARLINGHOUSE ‘EXCITED’ FOR 2025 AND REAL-WORLD UTILITY

▪️Brad Garlinghouse expressed his enthusiasm for 2025 on X, highlighting the increasing momentum and greater focus on real-world utility.

▪️Ripple made considerable strides in reshaping the financial landscape by forging new partnerships with major financial institutions throughout the year.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has shared his palpable excitement about the potential developments expected in the year 2025, a pivotal moment that could redefine the cryptocurrency landscape.

 He foresees substantial growth for Ripple and a broader transformation in the financial ecosystem as it increasingly embraces digital assets and blockchain technology, with a growing emphasis on real-world utility.

Apart from Brad Garlinghouse’s optimistic outlook, the XRP Army is equally enthusiastic about the prospects for XRP in the current year. A key catalyst for this optimism is the anticipated approval of an XRP-related Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) by the SEC, which many believe could significantly boost XRP’s legitimacy and market appeal.

Furthermore, the prospect of pro-crypto leadership under a Donald Trump presidency, alongside appointments such as Paul Atkins as the incoming SEC Chair, Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary, Billy Long overseeing IRS commissions, and David Sacks in the newly created role of AI and Crypto Czar, signals a promising shift towards a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets.

Additionally, the long-awaited settlement of the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, a legal battle that has cast a shadow over XRP’s potential, is viewed as a hopeful turning point. Together, these developments suggest not only a brighter future for Ripple but also for the broader cryptocurrency market.

Ripple 2024 Highlights

In 2024, Ripple marked a series of significant milestones that reinforced its mission to transform the financial landscape. The year began with a partnership with EasyA to launch an educational program aimed at teaching over 750,000 developers how to utilize smart contracts on the XRP Ledger. This initiative bolstered Ripple’s commitment to fostering community engagement and innovation.

Ripple also collaborated with SBI Group and HashKey DX to develop customized solutions on the XRP Ledger, with SBI becoming the first Japanese corporation to implement these blockchain solutions in supply chain finance. 

A pivotal moment came in February when Ripple acquired Standard Custody, bringing it closer to securing a coveted U.S. charter and solidifying its presence in the U.S. market.

The announcement of a partnership with Clear Junction in June highlighted Ripple’s dedication to enhancing cross-border payment capabilities with European banks, adding credibility to its operations.

Lastly, Ripple introduced its stablecoin, RLUSD, fully backed by U.S. Treasuries, bank deposits, and cash equivalents through a New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) trust charter. Potential applications for RLUSD include cross-border payments, corporate treasury functions, decentralized finance (DeFi), and trading collateral, along with the advantage of over 90 global payout markets.

These strategic initiatives contributed to XRP’s impressive rise from $0.62 at the start of the year to an all-time high of $2.89 by December 3, with current pricing at $2.40. As we begin this new year, market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic as investors keep a close eye on Ripple’s trajectory and regulatory developments.

X MONEY TO SUPPORT CRYPTO AT LAUNCH? BEST WALLET COULD BE THE MISSING LINK

The imminent debut of Elon Musk’s X Money, also known as X Payments, is sparking widespread speculation.

Theories surrounding the payment platform are swirling after X CEO Lindas Yaccarino confirmed on New Year’s Eve that it’ll launch in 2025 alongside X TV and Grok.

According to American entrepreneur Alex Finn, leaked code recently suggested it’ll be launching imminently – possibly even today.

What’s more, it might only be available in 39 US States initially, where X Money’s backbone, X Payments LLC, has secured regulatory approvals.

X Payments to Include Crypto?

At its core, X Money will enable users of X (formerly Twitter) to tip content creators.

With financial incentives enabled by X Money, creators might be more inclined to produce richer content that enhances X’s offerings – especially those who aren’t reliant on conventional ad revenue models.

The platform’s exact details have not yet been disclosed. Yet, Finn announced it’ll support crypto in a self-hosted X space.

There’s surging suspicion that X Money will support Bitcoin ($BTC) and Dogecoin ($DOGE), owing to Musk’s already accepting $DOGE payments at Tesla. Musk also holds $1.1B $BTC for his $1.19T supercar company.

Considering Elon Musk’s Web3 advocacy, crypto and even meme coin support wouldn’t come as a surprise.

Supporting crypto could also provide huge user benefits, owing to its decentralized nature and speedy processing times. As one X user commented in response to Finn’s post, “No permission needed, no holding back, just pure opportunity.”

Best Wallet Could Streamline X Money

Using a reliable crypto wallet like Best Wallet will be an essential accessory for those interested in Musk’s payment platform. That’s because you need a good wallet for your crypto before you can use it to tip anyone.

Best Wallet is on track to attract 40% of the 11B non-custodial wallet market by 2026. It sets itself apart from competitors like MetaMask owing to its unwavering support of presale projects and 60+ blockchain networks.

Best Wallet’s multi-blockchain support and user-friendly functionality should meet X Money payment requirements.

Another perk is its off-ramping function. Users can easily convert crypto into 100 fiat currencies (including $GBP, $USD, and $EUR) in their bank accounts. This means content creators being tipped in X Money can easily convert their funds into real-world currency for everyday spending.

For just $0.023375, $BEST token buyers can join the crypto wallet token project and have a say in the Best Wallet ecosystem’s future. Given the radical disruption changes to the game that launches like X Money pose, it’s no wonder Best Wallet’s presale has already raised over $6.2M.

However, this isn’t financial advice. Be sure to always do your own research before making any bold investment choices.
