Al-Sudani proposes a unified Arab-Islamic stance and the formation of a broad coalition.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stressed that the Israeli attack on the State of Qatar sends a negative message and deliberately kills the chances of peaceful solutions in the region.

In his speech at the emergency Arab-Islamic summit held in Doha, al-Sudani said that "the continuation of Israel's policies without deterrence will lead to further instability and will not achieve security for any party."

He added that "the security and stability of any Arab or Islamic country is an integral part of our collective security."

The Iraqi Prime Minister proposed issuing a unified Arab and Islamic position condemning the attack on the sisterly State of Qatar, and treating any attack on any Arab or Islamic country as a threat to all countries of the Arab and Islamic blocs.

He also called for developing a comprehensive roadmap for a complete ceasefire in Gaza, and for forming a joint Arab-Islamic committee to convey the positions of the participating countries to the Security Council and relevant international bodies.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani and Bin Salman affirm support for regional stability and strengthening bilateral partnership.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud affirmed on Monday their support for the stability of the region and strengthening the bilateral partnership between the two countries.

This came on the sidelines of the emergency Arab-Islamic summit in the Qatari capital, Doha.

According to a statement from Al-Sudani's office received by Shafaq News Agency, during the meeting, "the two countries affirmed their determination to continue coordination and consultation with other brotherly and friendly countries, especially in light of the rapid regional developments, and to work to implement the outcomes of the Arab Summit in Baghdad and the emergency Arab-Islamic Summit in Doha, and to support the stability of the countries of the region and preserve their territorial integrity and sovereignty."

The statement added that the meeting also addressed "ways to strengthen bilateral relations between the two countries, confront common regional challenges, and advance the bilateral partnership towards broader and more sustainable horizons in all fields, in addition to reviewing joint cooperation files and its growth for the benefit of the two brotherly peoples."

The emergency Arab-Islamic summit began in Doha on Monday to discuss the Israeli attack on the Qatari capital. The summit opened with a recitation of verses from the Holy Quran and was attended by more than fifty Arab and Islamic leaders, including Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.

The summit comes just days after an attack targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, in an attempt to derail diplomatic mediation efforts in the region.  link

Tishwash:  More than 15 trillion dinars are kept in cash in the homes of citizens

The governor of the Central Bank of Iraq says 80 percent of Iraq's money is in households and stresses that they are trying to increase citizens' confidence in banks.

Central Bank Governor Ali Alaq said the 2025 banking reform plan is a strategic step to strengthen confidence in the Iraqi banking system and solve problems.

He said 80 percent of Iraqi money is outside the banks and in the homes, due to lack of confidence in the banks.
He added that the banking reform plan includes updating the banking system, in line with international standards and attracting global companies.

Meanwhile, Mustafa Garawi, a member of the Finance Committee of the Iraqi Parliament, warned that this phenomenon has led to a decline in market movement and economic activity.

He revealed that; According to reports, the money held in households is more than 100 trillion dinars.

Earlier, economic researcher Haider Sheikh revealed; The Central Bank of Iraq is really suffering from a shortage of cash and flows, due to the lack of confidence in the banking system and the least trust in public and private banks, which has led many citizens to keep their money in Iraqi dinars. 

More than 15 trillion Iraqi dinars are kept in cash in the homes of citizens and salaried employees, so the central bank and the Iraqi government should solve this problem and inflation, through the formulation of economic and financial policy and banking facilities for citizens and restore confidence.  link

Biggest Fear, FOMO or Big Crash?

Biggest Fear, FOMO or Big Crash?

Kitco News:   9-15-2025

In an economic landscape often described as volatile and uncertain, investors find themselves at a crucial crossroads. On one side, there’s the pervasive fear of a major market crash, leading some to seek refuge in the perceived safety of cash.

On the other, a growing conviction that significant upside awaits those who embrace tangible assets like gold, silver, and even the digital frontier of Bitcoin.

Kitco News recently delved into this very debate, interviewing strategist Philippe Gijsels to unpack the current state and future outlook of investing in a world grappling with inflation and economic shifts. His message is clear: while caution is prudent, staying in cash might be the riskiest move of all.

Gijsels strongly cautions against holding onto cash for too long. In an environment of persistent inflation and central bank policies that often lead to currency debasement, cash simply loses its purchasing power over time. What feels “safe” today could be significantly devalued tomorrow, silently eroding your wealth.

Instead, the strategist emphasizes the paramount importance of owning real assets. These aren’t just a hedge against inflation; they are foundational stores of value designed to protect wealth against the declining purchasing power of fiat currencies.

Interestingly, Gijsels offers a nuanced perspective on Bitcoin. While its popularity as a digital asset continues to grow, he suggests that it behaves more like a speculative tech asset closely correlated with the NASDAQ.

This distinguishes it from genuine safe havens like gold, which tend to act as uncorrelated stores of value during market turbulence. Investors should view Bitcoin through a different lens than traditional precious metals.

While acknowledging the rapid price movements and corrections inherent in these markets, the overarching message is clear: don’t let short-term fluctuations deter you from the long-term potential of real assets. Staying too long in cash is a losing proposition.

Gijsels’ insights underscore the critical importance of a diversified approach to commodity investing. Real assets are not just about chasing quick profits; they are crucial for portfolio protection and fostering long-term growth in an unpredictable economic environment.

Are you fearing the crash, or are you positioning your portfolio for the upside? The choice, according to Kitco News and Philippe Gijsels, leans strongly towards the tangible.

RJ Talks: Scott Bessent Says they’re Ending the Fed

RJ Talks: Scott Bessent Says they’re Ending the Fed

9-15-2025

As the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting looms, the U.S. financial landscape is buzzing with anticipation – and contention.

Recent developments, brilliantly dissected in a compelling video from RJ Talks, suggest we’re not just at a crossroads, but at the precipice of a significant monetary paradigm shift.

From the Federal Reserve facing unprecedented criticism to a strategic devaluation of the dollar and the rise of innovative digital assets, get ready for a deep dive into the forces shaping our economic future.

The narrative around inflation is taking an unexpected turn. New data reveals a significant decline in producer prices, directly contradicting earlier fears that tariffs would inevitably drive inflation higher. This unexpected twist in the data has become a flashpoint for critics of the Federal Reserve.

Leading the charge is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has delivered a blistering critique of the Fed, accusing the institution of being “out of touch with economic realities.”

Bessent isn’t mincing words, advocating for a fundamental overhaul – or even the outright dismantling – of the central bank.

These sentiments find strong backing from President Trump, who has historically linked the Federal Reserve’s creation in 1913 to subsequent economic downturns. Trump’s renewed calls for the reinstatement of tariffs as a pivotal economic tool further underscore a desire for a radical departure from conventional economic policy.

Beyond the immediate criticism, a more profound strategic shift appears to be underway within the Trump administration.

The video highlights a deliberate move to devalue the U.S. dollar, signaling an emphatic end to the previous trading paradigms centered around a “strong dollar.”

The motivation is clear: a weaker dollar is intended to boost U.S. exports, making American goods more competitive on the global stage and stimulating domestic economic activity. This strategic pivot is expected to gain significant momentum with an imminent rate cut by the Fed, which would effectively kick off a loosening cycle in monetary policy.

Such a move would naturally depress the dollar’s value, aligning with the administration’s stated economic goals and marking a dramatic shift in global trade dynamics.

Amidst these seismic shifts in traditional monetary policy, an exciting innovation is emerging that could redefine how we invest in precious metals. The RJ Talks video introduces StreamX Corp., a company pioneering a new era in gold investing.

StreamX Corp. is launching a truly groundbreaking tokenized gold-backed product, combining the stability of physical gold with the efficiency of blockchain technology. What sets this apart is its impressive offering: a yield of up to 4%.

This innovative product aims to revolutionize gold investing, challenging traditional gold ETFs by offering not just security and liquidity, but also a significant return. It’s a clear signal of the broader trend of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, where tangible assets are brought onto the blockchain, promising enhanced accessibility, fractional ownership, and new opportunities for yield generation.

From a Federal Reserve under intense scrutiny and a dollar poised for strategic devaluation, to the groundbreaking potential of tokenized assets reshaping investment – the financial world is at an undeniable inflection point.

 The upcoming FOMC meeting is set against a backdrop of powerful political currents, evolving economic data, and technological innovation.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS News: Trump Targets China With 100% Tariffs on Russian Oil

Proposed tariffs escalate economic confrontation with China, Russia, and BRICS energy trade alliances.

Trump’s Tariff Strategy Hits BRICS Energy Flows
President Trump unveiled a plan to impose 50% to 100% tariffs on Chinese purchases of Russian oil, directly targeting BRICS energy trade.

* Trump argued tariffs would “break China’s grip” over Russia.

• The measures would only be withdrawn if the Russia-Ukraine war ends.

• China, Russia’s largest oil customer, conducts much of this trade in yuan through long-term agreements.

NATO Allies Under Pressure
The tariffs are not limited to China. Trump also called on NATO members to halt Russian oil purchases.

• Turkey, Hungary, and Slovakia remain key NATO buyers of Russian petroleum.

• Trump warned their energy ties “greatly weaken bargaining power over Russia.”

• A NATO oil ban is now under discussion, adding pressure on alliance unity.

Escalation Follows Familiar Trade Pattern
This push builds on earlier tariff escalations:

• Trump previously imposed 145% tariffs on Chinese goods.

• China retaliated with 125% import taxes on U.S. exports.

• Current tariff rates remain at 30% (U.S.) and 10% (China), though Trump has already hit India’s Russian oil purchases with 50% tariffs.

Global Response and Market Risk
The geopolitical stakes are rising:

• U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Russian drones entering Poland could be “highly escalatory.”

• Ambassador Dorothy Shea told the U.N. Security Council, “America will defend every inch of NATO territory.”

• The U.K. sanctioned 70 vessels transporting Russian petroleum, targeting businesses in China and Turkey.

• Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged the G7 to cut off revenues funding Russia’s war.

Why This Matters
Trump’s proposed tariffs on Chinese-Russian energy flows—combined with possible NATO oil bans—represent one of the boldest economic pressure campaigns yet. If implemented, it would reshape global trade flows, energy security, and BRICS strategies, directly pitting Western alliances against the bloc’s resource ties.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Tishwash:  Iraq Is Losing More Than $11 Million Every Day as Baghdad Blocks Kurdistan Oil Exports

Baghdad’s failure to pass an oil and gas law and its pressure tactics on Erbil have stalled Kurdistan’s exports, costing Iraq over $4 billion annually.

Iraq is losing more than $11 million every single day due to the continued suspension of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region, according to the ECO IRAQ Observatory, a specialized economic monitoring platform known for its independent assessments of the country’s energy and financial policies.

The observatory placed direct blame on Baghdad’s parliament for failing to resolve the long-standing dispute over oil and gas management.

The U.S.-based observatory on Saturday revealed that the Kurdistan Region was expected to export approximately 230,000 barrels of crude oil per day, in addition to allocating around 50,000 barrels for local consumption. With the cost of extraction and transportation standing at $16 per barrel and $1.5 in fees to Turkey for delivering crude to the Ceyhan port, the net profit per barrel remains substantial.

At an estimated price of $66 per barrel, the suspension of these exports translates into a staggering daily loss of $11.16 million, amounting to $334 million per month and over $4 billion annually in missed revenues for Iraq.

Despite these heavy financial losses, the federal government in Baghdad has failed to reach an agreement with Erbil, leaving negotiations shrouded in secrecy and accountability lacking.

The monitoring group held Iraq’s parliament directly responsible, accusing it of creating chaos by refusing to pass a long-awaited 'Oil and Gas Law' to regulate and manage the country’s oil and gas sector.

 A Chronic Dispute that Hurts All of Iraq

The ongoing deadlock over the Kurdistan Region’s oil exports is far from a mere technical disagreement. At its core lies Baghdad’s long-standing unwillingness to recognize the Region’s constitutional rights under the 2005 Iraqi Constitution, which granted the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) shared authority over natural resources.

Instead of honoring these commitments, successive Iraqi administrations have politicized oil exports, using them as a pressure tool against the people of Kurdistan.

For years, Erbil has argued that independent oil exports are essential to pay public salaries, fund infrastructure projects, and provide stability in a region that has already borne the brunt of wars, economic blockades, and hosting millions of displaced people.

Baghdad, however, has repeatedly resorted to financial blackmail, cutting salaries, and withholding the Kurdistan Region’s rightful share of the federal budget, all while demanding full control of oil revenues. 

This centralization of power has not only strangled the Kurdistan Region’s economy but also damaged Iraq’s international credibility. Foreign investors view Baghdad’s unpredictable policies and arbitrary interventions as a sign of instability, deterring long-term partnerships in the energy sector.

The failure to establish a comprehensive oil and gas law, despite two decades of promises, has left Iraq unable to fully capitalize on its resources, costing the country billions.

Political Stalemate and Hidden Agendas

Behind the scenes, negotiations between Baghdad and Erbil have remained closed to media scrutiny, fueling speculation that the Iraqi government is intentionally dragging its feet. Observers note that while Baghdad enjoys revenues from southern oil fields, it shows little urgency in resolving the crisis in the north, effectively punishing the Kurdish population while claiming to act in the interest of national unity.

The suspension of exports through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline since March 2023 has already deprived international markets of Kurdish oil, strained ties with Ankara, and weakened Iraq’s bargaining position globally. Yet, Baghdad has treated this issue as secondary, prioritizing political maneuvering over economic necessity.

Critics argue that this reflects Baghdad’s broader policy of undermining the Kurdistan Region’s autonomy. By blocking Erbil’s ability to export oil, Baghdad seeks to force the Region into submission, disregarding the severe financial and social consequences for millions of Kurdish citizens who rely on stable revenues to sustain daily life.

Kurdistan Pays the Price

The people of the Kurdistan Region ultimately pay the price for Baghdad’s failures. Delayed salaries, underfunded public services, and an economy held hostage by political disputes are daily realities. While Iraq as a whole suffers billions in losses, it is the Kurdish families, civil servants, and business owners who face the harshest impact.

Instead of fostering cooperation and equitable resource-sharing, Baghdad has weaponized oil policy, undermining the spirit of federalism and alienating the very partner that has been instrumental in stabilizing Iraq, particularly during the war against ISIS.

Until Iraq’s leaders demonstrate the political will to pass a fair oil and gas law and respect the constitutional rights of the Kurdistan Region, the crisis will continue to fester—bleeding Iraq’s economy, eroding investor confidence, and deepening mistrust between Baghdad and Erbil. link

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 15 September 2025

Compiled Mon. 15 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Summary:

According to the latest update compiled by Judy Byington, MSW, LCSW, and renowned journalist, we are witnessing the implementation of the Restored Republic via a Global Currency Reset (GCR) – a monumental event poised to redefine our financial and sovereign landscape.

Crucially, the Global Currency Reset has been (allegedly)  released, promising the return of taxpayer monies back for the direct use and benefit of The People worldwide. Imagine a system where resources flow back to their rightful owners, empowering communities and fostering genuine prosperity.

The gears of this new system are now fully in motion. On Saturday, September 13, 2025, President Trump reportedly gave the official “Green Light” for both the Global Currency Reset and the highly anticipated Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) Activation.

Adding to the tangible proof of this change, at 9 am Iraqi Time on Saturday, September 13, 2025, the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (allegedly)made a historic announcement on national television: the Iraqi Dinar has officially revalued and gone live as of Sunday, September 14, 2025!

For those ready to participate in this new financial reality, the doors are opening. Redemption Centers have already(allegedly) been active, facilitating exchanges for those in Tier 3. Excitingly, markets and Redemption Centers are slated to be open for the general public (allegedly) starting today, Monday, September 15, 2025.

To truly grasp the intricate dance of this global financial transition, Medeea Greer of American Media Group offers an insightful breakdown of the GCR’s multi-tiered structure. This isn’t just about money; it’s about a complete re-ordering of power, wealth, and responsibility.

These entities represent the very top of the old fiat financial system: the IMF, BIS, World Bank, and national central banks like the Federal Reserve. They are the custodians of the old, crumbling system but are necessary infrastructure holders for the transfer to the new monetary order. As Medeea puts it, “Think of Tier 1 like the plumbing system in a crumbling mansion. You don’t trust it anymore, but you still need to use it to drain the flood.”

This layer includes major private banks, multinational family trusts, and even religious banking systems. They act as intermediaries, filtering assets from Tier 1. While many have roots in historical wealth and manipulation, some have adapted or been compelled to comply. “Tier 2 is the ‘distribution center.’ Some are corrupt, others redeemable. They don’t create the wealth — but they move it, mask it, and now must release it.”

These are the “silent titans” holding ancient wealth: Chinese Dragon Bonds, WWI/WWII German gold bonds, Philippine gold-backed assets, and more. Their redemption is a profound historical correction, clearing away fraudulent fiat debt and allowing the world to start anew. “Tier 3 is like the soul of forgotten wealth… Their redemption wipes fake debt off the books.”

Operating behind the scenes with military-grade security, this tier comprises financial engineers, Quantum Financial System (QFS) architects, and authorized redemption officers. They are the “backstage crew,” ensuring the safety and integrity of the system as it rolls out, especially for Tier 3 redemptions. “They don’t get applause, but without them, nothing would happen safely.”

This is where you come in. This tier represents the millions who have diligently researched QFS, NESARA, GESARA, acquired revaluation currencies like ZIM, IQD, and VND, and followed alternative intel despite mainstream dismissal.

“Tier 4B isn’t just a demographic — it’s a spiritual role. You saw through the veil. You understood the reset wasn’t just about money — it was about humanity’s rebirth.” This group is anticipated to receive private notifications and secured redemption appointments, potentially playing a vital role in post-RV humanitarian leadership. “Now, we wait for our signal.”

This tier encompasses billions of good, hardworking people who, through no fault of their own, have been unaware of the global financial war. They never questioned the old system. While they won’t have access to redemption centers or negotiated rates, they will still benefit passively from the trickle-down effects of the new system. “Tier 5 isn’t evil — they’re just late. Their benefit is passive, their awakening delayed. But they will still be freed, even if they never understood what enslaved them.”

The information flowing in today paints a picture of a world on the cusp of true freedom and sovereignty. The dissolution of old structures, the return to constitutional law, and the activation of a fair, transparent financial system signify nothing short of a rebirth for humanity.

For those in Tier 4B, your perseverance, research, and belief are being validated. The time for quiet preparation is yielding to the call for action and leadership in building a better world.

Stay vigilant, stay informed, and embrace the profound changes unfolding before our eyes. The dawn of a new era is not just approaching; it is here.

Cornell Prof Who Called the 2008 Crash, Sounds Alarm on Hidden Debt Bomb and Civil Madness

Daniela Cambone:  9-13-2025

“When we have the next crisis, the word ‘private’ is going to be in every headline,” says Cornell Professor Dave Collum.

In this interview with Daniela Cambone, Collum warns that the biggest risks in the next financial crisis won’t come from the public markets—stocks, Treasuries, and the like—but from the shadowy private markets: private credit, private equity, and private debt, where leverage and valuations are opaque.

He also explains why today’s debt-driven economy is unsustainable and why he believes inflation and policy missteps are setting the stage for a severe reset.

 “At some point you either default outright or you inflate it away, but either path is a reset.”

Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Sparks Global Vigils, Geopolitical Reverberations

The killing of Turning Point USA founder ignites a wave of tributes, protests, and political reflection across continents.

Worldwide Mourning
Charlie Kirk’s assassination in Utah has sent shockwaves across the globe, sparking vigils, parliamentary tributes, and political reflection from Europe to Asia.

Seventeen nations are holding ongoing vigils in his honor.

• The Polish Parliament observed a moment of silence.

• In Berlin, crowds gathered outside the U.S. Embassy with candles.

• Madrid’s Viva 2025 summit saw Europe’s top conservative leaders unite in remembrance.

• Even U.S. sports arenas joined in: the New York Jets stadium erupted in chants of “USA! USA!” as “Amazing Grace” played in Kirk’s memory.

The sheer scale of response underscores his unique role as a conservative activist who had become a global champion of free speech, family, and faith.

A Turning Point for the West
European leaders emphasized Kirk’s impact beyond American borders. At Viva 2025, several conservative heads of state hailed him as a “global champion of civil rights.” Finnish President Alexander Stubb captured the mood, warning:

“We are at a turning point. We are now starting to see the change of a world order... right now we are living in a 1918, 1945, or 1989 moment in world history. We just don’t know where the world is going to go.”

By invoking years that marked seismic geopolitical shifts — the end of WWI, WWII, and the Cold War — Stubb placed Kirk’s death in the context of historic inflection points that reshape global order.

Korea’s Youth Movement Inspired
In South Korea, thousands marched in Kirk’s honor, led by Park Jun-young, head of Freedom University and one of the nation’s most prominent young conservatives. Park, the son of parents deeply embedded in Korea’s liberal establishment, rejected corruption and leftist influence in his own country after encountering Kirk’s message firsthand.

Park’s tribute resonated far beyond Korea:

• He recalled Kirk telling Korean youth that “America will help to prevent Korea from being consumed by communism.”

• He pledged to model Freedom University after Turning Point USA, continuing Kirk’s mission.

• He urged young conservatives worldwide not to fear persecution or even assassination but to stand boldly for faith, family, and freedom.

Park concluded that Kirk’s murder was meant to silence a movement but would instead “ignite global outrage” and strengthen the resolve of young freedom fighters.

A Divided U.S. Response
Back in America, memorials revealed both unity and division.

• The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. hosted a national service, attended by political leaders and grassroots activists.

• NFL teams displayed contrasting approaches: while the Jets honored Kirk, the Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, and Baltimore Ravens declined tributes — a decision that itself became a flashpoint in the ongoing culture war.

This divide reflects the same geopolitical struggle echoed abroad: whether Kirk’s vision of civilizational renewal will be embraced or suppressed.

Geopolitical Implications
Charlie Kirk’s assassination is no longer just a U.S. tragedy. It has become a symbolic flashpoint in the larger global contest between competing visions of governance, economics, and civil society.

• For BRICS and non-Western blocs, it underscores Western instability and political violence.

• For European conservatives, it validates their warnings about a collapsing liberal order.

• For Asian youth movements, it provides a martyr figure uniting anti-communist resistance.

From Poland to Korea, the global response shows that Kirk’s life — and his death — has transcended American politics to become a marker of a world at the crossroads of old and new systems.

Why This Matters
Charlie Kirk’s assassination has galvanized millions across borders. His message of faith, family, and freedom has now merged with a geopolitical moment defined by rising nationalism, global discontent, and realignments in world order. What was meant to silence him may instead accelerate the very changes he championed.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Bitcoin and Crypto Brace for Market-Shaking Fed Decision

The Federal Reserve’s September policy meeting could set the tone for crypto markets into year-end.

Fed Meeting Takes Center Stage
Bitcoin hovers near $116,500 and Ether around $4,660 as the market braces for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decision on September 17. This week is macro-heavy, with the Fed releasing:

• Policy statement (Wednesday, 2:00 p.m. ET)

• Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference (Wednesday, 2:30 p.m. ET)

• Fresh Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) and dot plot

Futures markets are pricing in a 25-basis-point rate cut as the base case, with little expectation of a larger move. The bigger question: will Powell signal a steady path of easing into 2026 or a slower, data-dependent approach?

Why the Dot Plot Matters
The Fed’s quarterly dot plot will be pivotal for Bitcoin and broader risk assets.

• A lower 2025 median projection and softer inflation tracks would signal easier conditions for markets.

• A shallower cut path or higher neutral rate (r)* would imply tighter conditions ahead.

Powell’s press conference could validate market optimism if he highlights labor-market cooling. But a focus on inflation risks or financial stability might cap crypto’s rally.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Fed has slowed quantitative tightening (QT), reducing Treasury redemptions from $25B to $5B monthly. This easing supports dollar liquidity, which in turn:

• Benefits high-beta assets like Bitcoin

• Amplifies the impact of rate cuts on crypto markets

Global Central Banks Join In
The Fed isn’t the only decision-maker this week:

• Bank of England (Sept 18): No immediate rate change expected, but QT adjustments could ripple through global markets.

• Bank of Japan (Sept 18–19): Policy shifts in Tokyo may affect US yields via yen moves, indirectly shaping crypto appetite.

Impact on Crypto
The macro transmission to crypto is clear:

• Dovish outcome: Lower rates, softer dot plot, and easier liquidity conditions = bullish for Bitcoin and altcoins.

• Hawkish surprise: Fewer cuts or higher neutral rate = stronger dollar, weaker crypto.

With Fed, BoE, and BoJ decisions compressed into 48 hours, macro forces will overshadow crypto’s internal narratives this week.

Why This Matters
Crypto trades as a high-beta risk asset in a macro-driven market. The Fed’s decision—especially its rate path into 2026—could either fuel Bitcoin’s rally or trigger a post-event sell-off.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Bank of England Stablecoin Limits Slammed by UK Crypto Groups

Industry advocates warn caps on digital pound holdings would be costly, impractical, and leave the UK trailing global competitors.

Crypto Industry Pushback
The Bank of England’s proposal to cap individual stablecoin holdings between £5,000 and £20,000 has drawn sharp criticism from UK crypto and payments groups.

• Coinbase policy head Tom Duff Gordon warned the move would hurt UK savers and weaken the pound.

• Simon Jennings of the UK Cryptoasset Business Council (UKCBC) argued caps “don’t work in practice,” since issuers cannot track individual holdings without a complex new system.

• Jennings also stressed that the plan would hinder a proposed transatlantic stablecoin corridor between the US and UK.

Regulators’ Concerns
UK regulators fear that widespread stablecoin adoption could destabilize traditional finance through:

• Currency substitution – foreign-denominated stablecoins undermining the pound.

• Bank runs – if stablecoins offer yields more attractive than bank deposits.

The Bank of England’s caution mirrors European concerns. ECB President Christine Lagarde recently warned that US stablecoin policies could pull euro deposits abroad, strengthening the dollar in global payments.

Global Competition at Stake
The debate highlights a growing policy divide:

• No other major jurisdiction has imposed individual stablecoin caps.

• Former UK chancellor George Osborne warned the UK is falling behind in digital assets, especially stablecoins.

• Some in the industry argue banks should adapt by offering higher yields rather than seeking regulatory shields.

Why This Matters
The outcome of this debate will determine whether the UK cements itself as a global hub for digital payments or slips behind the US and Europe. Stablecoins are no longer a niche issue—they are at the center of monetary sovereignty, cross-border trade, and banking competition.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Investment Report, Birth of IQD Rates, Babylon to Baghdad

Investment Report, Birth of IQD Rates, Babylon to Baghdad

Edu Matrix:   9-14-2025

The world of currency can be a fascinating, complex, and sometimes speculative place. Recently, a video from Edu Matrix, featuring the insightful Sandy Ingram, delved into the intriguing story of the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) and, more importantly, what its potential future means for your personal investment strategy.

Sandy Ingram kicks off the discussion by highlighting the widely perceived undervaluation of the Iraqi Dinar. She draws attention to recent statements from Iraq’s Prime Minister, who confidently asserted the nation’s vast oil reserves are sufficient to last for a century.

This isn’t just a geological fact; it’s a powerful economic indicator, implying a potential future revaluation or significant adjustment of the IQD.

However, Sandy wisely cautions that the exact timing and nature of such a shift are intertwined with complex global financial maneuvers, making it far from a simple prediction. While the allure of a rapidly appreciating currency can be tempting, her core message is a masterclass in prudent financial planning.

Regardless of any specific currency’s potential, Sandy Ingram emphasizes the timeless importance of diversifying investments. Her advice is straightforward and impactful: commit small, consistent monthly amounts into stable, proven assets. Think gold, real estate, and broad stock market investments, easily accessible through platforms like Acorns.

This strategy isn’t just about financial gains; it’s about psychological resilience. In an uncertain economic climate, the steady, incremental approach provides peace of mind and builds wealth over time, mitigating the risks associated with chasing speculative opportunities. It’s a testament to the power of compound interest and disciplined saving.

The Edu Matrix video then takes us on a captivating historical journey titled “Babylon to Baghdad: The Birth of the Iraqi Dinar,” illustrating just how deeply currency is woven into the fabric of a nation’s identity.

Imagine ancient Babylonia, 4,000 years ago, where barley and silver were the original forms of exchange. As empires rose and fell – the Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and the magnificent Islamic Caliphates – so too did the systems of trade and finance evolve. It was during the powerful Abbasid Caliphate that the “dinar” first emerged as a significant unit of currency.

Fast forward through Ottoman and British rule, periods when different currencies held sway, until Iraq achieved independence in 1932. It was then that the modern Iraqi Dinar was born, initially pegged to the stable British pound, symbolizing a new era of national sovereignty.

The IQD enjoyed a “golden era” from the 1940s to the 1970s. Buoyed by burgeoning oil wealth, it was among the strongest currencies in the Middle East, a source of national pride and stability.

However, the late 20th century brought a storm of conflict. Wars in the 1980s, the invasion of Kuwait, and crippling international sanctions severely devalued the currency. Trust eroded, and many Iraqis turned to US dollars or gold as more reliable stores of value.

After 2003, new dinar notes were introduced in an effort to restore confidence and rebuild the economy. Yet, despite these efforts, the IQD largely remains a domestic currency with limited international trading, a stark reminder of its turbulent past.

The story of the Iraqi Dinar is more than just a financial chronicle; it’s a narrative of Iraq’s enduring resilience. It underscores a fundamental truth about money itself: it is not merely a medium of exchange, but a profound symbol of trust, national identity, and collective hope for the future.

While the future of the Iraqi Dinar continues to be a topic of interest and speculation, Sandy Ingram’s overarching message remains clear: a diversified, incremental investment strategy is the wisest path to financial security, regardless of the winds of global currency markets.

Billionaire Ray Dalio Warns Debt-Laden US Economy Faces 'Heart Attack,' Advises Investors To Hold 10–15% Gold

Billionaire Ray Dalio Warns Debt-Laden US Economy Faces 'Heart Attack,' Advises Investors To Hold 10–15% Gold

Kaustubh Bagalkote  Fri, September 12, 2025

Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio issued stark warnings about the U.S. economy’s mounting debt burden, comparing the fiscal strain to arterial blockage that could trigger a financial “heart attack.”

Debt Crisis Threatens Economic Stability

Speaking at an Abu Dhabi Finance Week launch event, Dalio warned that escalating debt service costs are “squeezing out other spending” and building up like plaque in a clogged circulatory system, reported Reuters. “A doctor would warn of a heart attack,” the billionaire investor cautioned.

The U.S. national debt has surpassed $37 trillion, with Moody’s projecting the debt-to-GDP ratio to climb from nearly 100% in 2025 to approximately 130% by 2035. Moody’s downgraded the U.S. long-term credit rating from Aaa to Aa1 in May, citing concerns about fiscal sustainability.

Gold as Portfolio Insurance

Dalio recommended investors allocate “somewhere between 10% and 15%” of their portfolios to gold as protection against market instability. Gold futures recently hit record highs near $3,600.

“Gold was uncorrelated with other assets, its value tending to rise during a crisis when other assets fall,” Dalio explained. He emphasized that with the world “abundant in debt” and geopolitical tensions rising, investors should question “whose money do you own?” when building neutral portfolios.

Fed Policy and Market Valuations

The S&P 500 tracked by SPDR S&P 500 (NYSE:SPY) and the Nasdaq Composite have gained over 12.25% and 14.33% year-to-date, respectively, closing at record highs as markets anticipate Federal Reserve rate cuts.

However, Dalio’s warnings align with concerns about elevated valuations amid underlying fiscal pressures.

Dalio previously sold his remaining Bridgewater stake in July, stepping away from the hedge fund he founded in 1975 after building it into one of the world’s largest investment firms.

Building Wealth Across More Than Just the Market

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, professional financial guidance, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts.

Huge News From BRICS! Central Banks Will CHANGE EVERYTHING for Gold & Silver - Schectman & Rickards

Huge News From BRICS! Central Banks Will CHANGE EVERYTHING for Gold & Silver - Schectman & Rickards

Money Sense:  9-14-2025

The metals market is entering a phase where price action in the West tells one story, but global accumulation tells another.

 While paper contracts on COMEX and ETFs keep prices seemingly capped, the most prominent players in the world—central banks, sovereign wealth funds, and BRICS nations—are draining physical supply from every corner of the globe.

They suppress the visible price in Western markets while quietly securing massive tonnage elsewhere, creating an illusion of abundance that masks growing scarcity.

This divergence between paper markets and physical demand sets the stage for a sharp repricing once confidence in paper claims erodes.

 Andy Schectman, a veteran precious metals dealer with decades of experience tracking delivery flows, underscores how billions in silver and gold are standing for delivery each month, much of it leaving registrable vaults and moving into stronger hands.

 Jim Rickards, economist and author, frames this within the broader geopolitical chessboard: Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and India are building strategic reserves, not chasing short-term gains.

What’s unfolding is a silent, coordinated move away from paper promises toward tangible metal. The smartest money in the world—those who can move markets with nine-figure monthly purchases—aren’t guessing.

They’re executing a long-term playbook. For everyday investors, the signal is clear: physical ownership matters more than headline spot prices.

Paper markets can mislead, but supply and demand in the real world will eventually assert themselves.

 For decades, the gold market was shaped by central bank actions, shifting from heavy selling in the 1970s through the 2000s to consistent buying since 2010.

The U.S., the IMF, the U.K., Switzerland, and others sold thousands of tons at historic lows, which often marked long-term bottoms. But once selling stopped, a new trend emerged: net accumulation led by countries like China, Russia, Turkey, and others who see gold as both a hedge and a strategic asset.

This buying has created a floor under prices, as central banks purchase steadily and on dips, ensuring limited downside while leaving room for significant upside.

At the same time, supply has remained relatively flat at around 4,000 tons annually, while demand keeps rising. This simple dynamic—steady supply against growing demand—has become a key driver of higher prices.

Add to this the anchoring effect, where each $1,000 increment in gold feels smaller percentage-wise, and you have the recipe for a retail frenzy once prices accelerate into the five-digit range.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Sunday Morning 9-14-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Out with the Old, In with the New: Global Shifts Point Toward an Asset-Backed Reset

Political upheaval, social unrest, and financial instability are converging to push nations toward gold and commodity-backed systems.

Cracks in the Old Order
Across the globe, nations are experiencing political turbulence and financial strain that reflect a deeper systemic shift. France has faced mass protests, leadership under pressure, and calls for a new constitution as frustration with inequality and EU policies mounts.

Other countries show similar signs:

• Germany – economic slowdown and energy dependency challenges.

• Italy and Spain – political instability and surging nationalist movements.

• United Kingdom – post-Brexit financial strain, leadership shakeups, and inflation battles.

• United States – debt crisis, Federal Reserve scrutiny, and debates over a digital dollar.

The common theme is clear: traditional governance and fiat-based economic systems are under strain, and populations are rejecting “business as usual.”

The People Rise Up
Public frustration is no longer limited to economic complaints — it’s spilling into the streets. In London, a “Unite the Kingdom” rally led by activist Tommy Robinson drew more than 100,000 people, with unofficial estimates placing the crowd in the millions. Protesters framed the march around migration, free speech, and national identity. Signs reading “Freedom of speech is dead. RIP Charlie Kirk” highlighted how the recent assassination of U.S. conservative activist Charlie Kirk has become a rallying cry across borders.

Meanwhile in Spain, the Vuelta cycling race became a stage for anti-Israel protests. Demonstrators waving Palestinian flags interrupted multiple stages, demanding international accountability for Gaza and calling for the expulsion of Israel’s team from the race. These protests, tacitly endorsed by Spain’s government, escalated into a diplomatic standoff with Israel — showing how grassroots uprisings are now capable of shifting state-level policy.

From London’s nationalists to Spain’s pro-Palestinian activists, the message is similar: citizens no longer trust their governments or global institutions to represent them, and are forcing their voices into the spotlight.

The Fiat System at a Breaking Point
Decades of debt-fueled monetary policy and central bank dominance appear to be reaching their limits. Nations burdened with unsustainable debt are edging closer to default. The cracks in the fiat model are accelerating the search for alternatives.

The Push Toward Asset-Backed Finance
BRICS and its expanding membership — including countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the UAE — are openly advancing gold-backed trade settlement. Commodities, particularly oil and gold, are reemerging as the anchors of global exchange, replacing the “paper promises” of fiat currency.

This transition is not just financial but political. In France, the potential collapse of the Fifth Republic could pave the way for a Sixth Republic shaped by new economic alignments, perhaps closer to BRICS models.

Global Power Realignment
The shift from “old guard” to “new system” is underway:

• IMF, BIS, and G7 dominance is waning.

• Sovereign wealth funds and asset-backed currencies are gaining traction.

• Central banks face pressure to adapt, with gold now recognized as a tier-1 asset under Basel III standards.

Leadership changes are only the surface; the deeper transformation lies in the control of money and credit. If a nation like France reorients its financial system, ripple effects could reshape the EU, NATO, and the global balance of power.

Proof and Reality Check
There is undeniable evidence of instability: widespread protests, resignations, assassinations, and the rise of BRICS’ gold-based trade mechanisms. Citizens are openly challenging their governments, while governments themselves are repositioning financially and diplomatically. Yet, while the pieces of a new financial order are falling into place, there is no definitive proof of a single coordinated system set to roll out immediately. The global shift remains in motion — marked by positioning, negotiations, and speculation.

Why This Matters
From Europe to the U.S. to BRICS, the story is the same: the old fiat model is faltering, and asset-backed systems are emerging as the next chapter in global finance. The uprisings in London and Spain are not isolated events — they are symptoms of a deeper rupture between governments, people, and the financial order underpinning them. The world may soon witness a coordinated reset where sovereignty, real assets, and multipolar structures replace the debt-driven order of the past.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

US Senators Accuse JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo of Threatening US Financial Stability and Risking Another Taxpayer Bailout – Here’s Why

Warren and Sanders warn that megabank stock buybacks and dividend hikes are setting the stage for another financial crisis.

Senators Sound the Alarm
U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Bernie Sanders (I-VT) are taking aim at the nation’s largest banks, accusing them of placing the “entire economy at risk” through massive stock buyback programs and dividend increases.

The senators argue that JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley are prioritizing wealthy shareholders and executives over financial stability and consumer benefits.

The Numbers Behind the Accusation

• JPMorgan Chase: $50 billion stock buyback, dividend increase of 7.1%

• Bank of America: $40 billion stock buyback, dividend increase of 7.6%

• Wells Fargo: $40 billion stock buyback, dividend increase of 12.5%

• Citigroup: $20 billion stock buyback, dividend increase of 7.1%

• Goldman Sachs: $40 billion stock buyback, dividend increase of 33%

• Morgan Stanley: $20 billion stock buyback, dividend increase of 8.1%

In total, these megabanks are directing roughly $210 billion to shareholder enrichment.

Echoes of 2008
Warren and Sanders stress that the rollback of capital requirements under the Trump administration has left Wall Street dangerously exposed. Reduced buffers increase susceptibility to economic shocks and raise the likelihood of another government bailout.

They warn that undercapitalization of major banks was a root cause of the 2008 financial crisis and the deep recession that followed.

Why This Matters
While Wall Street celebrates higher dividends, critics argue that these practices are draining capital from the system instead of fortifying it. If another crisis emerges, taxpayers could once again be forced to foot the bill for bailouts.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Trump Warns NATO: Russian Oil Buys Are “Shocking,” Threatens Harsh Sanctions

Trump pushes NATO to stop Russian oil imports and proposes steep tariffs on China as geopolitical tensions rise.

Trump Targets NATO’s Russian Oil Purchases
President Trump has criticized NATO allies for continuing to buy Russian oil, calling the purchases “shocking” and a sign of weak commitment to defeating Russia. He warned that he is prepared to impose major sanctions on Moscow — but only if all NATO members act together.

Trump argued that by buying Russian oil, NATO allies weaken their negotiating power and prolong the war in Ukraine.

Proposed Tariffs on China
In addition, Trump has urged NATO to adopt sweeping tariffs of 50–100% on China until the war ends. He says such measures would pressure Beijing to abandon its support for Moscow and accelerate a resolution.

Trump also reiterated that the war “would never have started” under his presidency, placing blame on President Biden and Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy.

Rising Pressure on Putin
In a Fox News interview, Trump warned that his patience with Russian President Vladimir Putin is “running out fast.” He has previously threatened to sanction countries that buy Russian oil, including China and India. While he placed a 25% tariff on Indian goods for continuing to import Russian oil, he has not taken equivalent measures against Beijing.

Escalating Tensions in Europe
Recent Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace — a NATO member — have heightened tensions. The U.S. has reaffirmed its pledge to defend “every inch of NATO territory.” Meanwhile, peace talks remain stalled as Ukrainian President Zelenskyy insists that Russia still seeks to seize all of Ukraine.

Crypto Market Reaction
Despite the geopolitical volatility, crypto markets remain steady.

• Bitcoin has held above $115,000

• Altcoins are trading in green, fueling talk of a potential “Altcoin season”

• Global crypto market cap: $4.19 trillion, up 1.9% in the past 24 hours

Investor commentary highlights that U.S. markets overall are hitting record highs across gold, equities, and money supply (M2), while the national debt climbs and inflation remains at 2.9% — still above the Fed’s target.

Why This Matters
Trump’s proposals merge energy, trade, and geopolitics into a single pressure campaign with global consequences. From oil flows to tariffs to crypto resilience, his words continue to ripple across markets and alliances.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Grows As 1,700 Banks Process 175 Trillion Chinese Yuan Payments

China’s CIPS payment system is accelerating global de-dollarization, with record cross-border yuan transactions.

Record Growth in CIPS Payments
BRICS member China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) processed more than 175 trillion Chinese yuan ($24 trillion) in payments, according to The Economist. This marks a 43% jump from 2023, as over 1,700 banks worldwide now participate in the yuan-based payment network.

Banks from countries including Turkey, Mauritius, and BRICS member UAE are actively facilitating yuan transactions. CIPS has also expanded into Africa and the Middle East, extending its reach across 33 market sectors — most operated by Chinese institutions.

China’s Push for Yuan Dominance
CIPS serves as a clearing and settlement infrastructure for cross-border yuan transactions, directly challenging the U.S. dollar’s role in global trade. By allowing manufacturers and international businesses to settle in yuan, China is reducing dependence on the greenback while strengthening its financial self-reliance.

The Xi Jinping administration has aggressively promoted the yuan within BRICS and beyond, with the goal of embedding it into global trade networks.

Dollar Distrust Deepens
Emerging economies are increasingly wary of the U.S. dollar, citing Washington’s use of the currency as a geopolitical weapon. Trump-era tariffs and ongoing trade wars have only reinforced this distrust. As a result, countries are accelerating settlement in yuan and other local currencies, moving away from dollar-based transactions.

Why This Matters
The rapid growth of CIPS highlights how BRICS is steadily building an alternative to the dollar-dominated financial system. If yuan settlements continue to surge, the U.S. dollar could face a historic decline, with ripple effects that may reshape global markets and fuel inflationary pressures in the American economy.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Tishwash:  Iraq signs contracts worth more than $1 billion with IFC

The Prime Minister's Media Office announced today, Saturday, partnership and financing contracts with the International Finance Corporation (IFC).

A statement from the office, received by Al-Eqtisad News, stated that, "Under the patronage and attendance of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, a celebration was held in the capital, Baghdad, today, to mark the 20th anniversary of the IFC's presence and partnerships with Iraqi sectors."

According to the statement, the ceremony witnessed the signing of several investment and development contracts with the private and public sectors, including a $500 million contract with Basra Gas Company to invest in associated gas and develop Umm Qasr Port facilities, and a $250 million contract with Al-Muhaidib Group to finance and expand cement and lubricating oil production.

In addition to a $125 million financing contract for container handling equipment and a storage yard at Umm Qasr Port with Al-Lorrain Investment Company, and a $65 million contract for the first phase of the Green Residential Real Estate Development Project in Sulaymaniyah with Hiwa Rauf Investment Company.

Tishwash:  More than 15 trillion dinars are kept in cash in the homes of citizens

The governor of the Central Bank of Iraq says 80 percent of Iraq's money is in households and stresses that they are trying to increase citizens' confidence in banks.

Central Bank Governor Ali Alaq said the 2025 banking reform plan is a strategic step to strengthen confidence in the Iraqi banking system and solve problems.

He said 80 percent of Iraqi money is outside the banks and in the homes, due to lack of confidence in the banks.

He added that the banking reform plan includes updating the banking system, in line with international standards and attracting global companies.

Meanwhile, Mustafa Garawi, a member of the Finance Committee of the Iraqi Parliament, warned that this phenomenon has led to a decline in market movement and economic activity.

He revealed that; According to reports, the money held in households is more than 100 trillion dinars.

Earlier, economic researcher Haider Sheikh revealed; The Central Bank of Iraq is really suffering from a shortage of cash and flows, due to the lack of confidence in the banking system and the least trust in public and private banks, which has led many citizens to keep their money in Iraqi dinars. 

Revealed; More than 15 trillion Iraqi dinars are kept in cash in the homes of citizens and salaried employees, so the central bank and the Iraqi government should solve this problem and inflation, through the formulation of economic and financial policy and banking facilities for citizens and restore confidence.  link

Tishwash:  Banking reform enters a decisive phase: The Central Bank and banks are in a race against time - Urgent

To avoid penalties 

The Iraqi banking sector is going through a critical phase, where economic and financial considerations intersect with the demands of structural reform that have been postponed for years.

 After decades of challenges, and amid international and local pressure to improve the efficiency of the financial system, the reform paper launched by the Central Bank in coordination with an international consulting firm emerged as an attempt to rebuild trust and establish more robust rules for banking operations.

 The importance of this issue goes beyond the financial dimension; it extends to the broader institutional context related to the state's ability to formulate economic stability tools and meet transparency requirements, which in turn are linked to the confidence of investors and international donors.

In this context, economic expert Ahmed Abdul Rabbo, speaking to Baghdad Today, predicted that "the end of September will be the deadline for private banks to sign the final amendments to the reform paper submitted by the Central Bank of Iraq in coordination with Oliver and Iman." This timing reflects the Central Bank's awareness of the country's need to end the period of hesitation and embark on a clearly defined reform path.

According to institutional estimates, setting a timetable for signing aims to overcome the procrastination that accompanied the first rounds of dialogue with private banks and transform reform from a theoretical idea into a practical commitment.

Adjustments in response to market pressures

Recent developments indicate that the reform was not imposed unilaterally, but rather came after a series of technical discussions with banks. Abdul Rabbo explained that "the Central Bank has made extensive amendments to the banking reform paper over the past weeks in response to the comments submitted by the banks, noting that it was keen to open an extensive dialogue with Iraqi banks to clarify the technical aspects of the reform paper."

This clarification reveals a collaborative process that balances reform requirements with market pressures. According to economic estimates, the central bank's understanding of banks' comments reflects its awareness that implementing strict measures without consensus could hinder the banking system's ability to keep pace with changes. At the same time, this dialogue seeks to establish the principle of transparency and a commitment to gradualism as a means of ensuring the effectiveness of reform, consistent with similar international experiences in restructuring banking sectors.

Gradual reform with privacy in mind

The discussion is not limited to the form of reform, but also includes its pace. Abdul Rabbo pointed out "the importance of implementing reform mechanisms gradually, taking into account the specificities of Iraq's economic reality." He emphasized the need to adhere to reform in principle, while formulating standards and procedures in a way that enhances confidence in the banking sector and contributes to its development.

According to economic readings, this position reflects the traditional tension between the imperative of rapid openness to international standards and the demands of a local reality characterized by fragility and instability. Gradualism, financial experts believe, reduces the shocks to small and medium-sized banks and gives the sector sufficient time to adapt to the new regulatory environment. This makes reform not only a tool for course correction, but also a means of rebuilding the contract between the state and the private financial sector on more sustainable foundations.

The essence and dimensions of the amendments

The recent amendments raise fundamental questions about the nature of the role private banks will play. Abd Rabbuh explained that the amendments "include extending the capital requirement for banks, reconsidering the ownership structure, and abolishing the foreign partner requirement, thus providing banks with greater flexibility in implementing reforms and strengthening their role in supporting the national economy."

This change has multiple institutional dimensions. Extending the capital requirement reduces immediate financial pressure on banks, while reconsidering the ownership structure opens the door to restructuring the relationship between local shareholders and regulatory authorities.

The abolition of the foreign partner requirement reflects a shift toward enhanced independence, but it also raises questions about the ability of local banks to bridge the gap in expertise and technology typically provided by an international partner. According to economic estimates, these amendments represent an attempt to balance strengthening financial sovereignty with creating practical flexibility.

Timing and objectives of reform

Abdul Rabbuh believes that "banking reform comes at a crucial time, as Iraq seeks to enhance the banking sector's capacity to finance development and investment projects and reduce financial risks by adopting more flexible and transparent standards. The success of the reform paper represents a fundamental step toward achieving comprehensive financial stability and increasing confidence among local and international investors."

This link between reform and investment reflects that the goal is not limited to improving banking efficiency, but extends to building an environment that is attractive to capital. According to research estimates, the signals of confidence that banking reform can generate will be crucial in repositioning Iraq on the international financial map. Internal financial stability is also a prerequisite for confronting the recurring economic crises that the country has experienced over the past two decades. 

Reform as a Barrier to Sanctions and Corruption

Banking reform was not only a domestic choice; it also came in response to external pressures linked to the risks of international sanctions. The delay in adopting the required standards and the banks' slowness in complying with regulatory controls opened the door for international oversight bodies to question Iraq's ability to manage its financial sector transparently. According to financial estimates, this situation increased the likelihood of some banks being placed on watch lists or sanctions, negatively impacting the smooth flow of financial transactions and external transfers.

Economists point out that part of this crisis was linked not only to technical shortcomings, but also to the dominance of influential groups within the banking sector, who took advantage of weak oversight and widespread corruption to obstruct any serious reform attempt.

This dominance eroded international institutions' confidence in Iraq's ability to implement standards, making any delay in reform a direct threat to its economic interests. Therefore, the current reform paper should be read not only as a regulatory framework, but also as a fundamental line of defense to avoid potential sanctions and rebuild confidence in a sector that has for years been synonymous with fragility and political tensions.

Upcoming challenges and implementation prospects

Abdul Rabbo concluded by saying, "The coming weeks will witness ongoing negotiations and coordination between the Central Bank and private banks to ensure all parties agree on implementing reforms smoothly and effectively. These measures represent an opportunity to restructure the banking sector and strengthen its role in the national economy after years of financial challenges and economic fluctuations."

This statement outlines the next phase, where the debate is no longer about the feasibility of reform, but rather about the mechanisms for implementation and consensus.

According to institutional estimates, the success of these negotiations will depend on the Central Bank's ability to strike a balance between the requirements of financial discipline and the flexibility demanded by banks. The gradual conclusion indicates that what has changed is Iraq's entry into a mandatory phase of reform after a long debate.

What has not changed is the difficulty of building full consensus in a sector suffering from a long legacy of division and volatility. The expected impact is a gradual restructuring of the banking system, opening the door to enhanced confidence and stability, provided that pledges are transformed into measurable and enforceable obligations.  link

Mot: ooooh Deer!!! --- Off to See the Wizard!!!!

Mot:  The Joy of Having a Furball!!!

We’re Headed to Monetary Panic

We’re Headed to Monetary Panic

Liberty and Finance:  9-12-2025

In an era defined by digital transactions and complex financial instruments, it’s easy to lose sight of what truly constitutes “money.”

A recent compelling discussion with Phil Low on Liberty and Finance cuts through the noise, offering a stark yet insightful perspective on fundamental economic concepts, the critical role of precious metals, and the inevitable future of finance.

Low’s central premise challenges our modern assumptions: the true nature of money isn’t determined by technology, but by trust. While our digital world thrives on speed and convenience, Low argues that technology merely streamlines the transfer of credit.

And credit, fundamentally, is a promise rooted in trust. When that trust erodes, so does the credit system.

This erosion of trust isn’t a hypothetical. Low points to a recurring historical pattern: dishonest credit systems are inherently unstable and destined to collapse.

 When this happens, a “monetary panic” ensues. People, sensing the instability of their digital or paper promises, rush to convert their credit into physical, tangible money – historically, gold and silver. It’s a flight to safety, where only unencumbered, physical assets are truly trusted.

But here’s where Low offers a refreshing counter-narrative to common doomsday predictions. He asserts that the collapse of a credit system does not equate to societal collapse. Instead, it leads to a restructuring.

 In this new landscape, individuals who hold physical money – the “stackers” of gold and silver – become integral “nodes of civilization.” They possess true liquidity, enabling the revival of honest trade based on real, physical money. Low even illustrates how essential services, like power and coal supply, would organically resume through informal credit, naturally backed by physical gold. It’s a vision of resilience, not ruin.

Low also delves into the foundational economic philosophies shaping our world. He sharply dismisses traditional Keynesian macroeconomics as “junk science,” arguing it promotes heavy-handed government intervention and artificial market manipulation.

In stark contrast, he champions the Austrian School of Economics, which prioritizes free markets, individual liberty, and a positivist approach. This means observing and respecting natural market processes without interference, rather than attempting to prescribe what “should” be done (normative economics). For Low, the market will always find its equilibrium if left alone.

Perhaps the most chilling warning from Phil Low is his discussion of “The Great Taking.” This refers to a potential legal and financial event where modern financial instruments—our brokerage accounts, 401ks, and other digital assets—could be subject to confiscation or centralized control.

It’s a stark reminder of the tenuous nature of wealth held solely in digital or paper form within the existing financial architecture.

So, what’s an individual to do? Low’s advice is clear and unequivocal: prioritize physical metal ownership. Holding tangible gold and silver is paramount. Only after securing physical holdings should one consider investing in precious metals mining mutual funds, and crucially, outside of typical brokerage systems, potentially as a way to diversify a portion of one’s wealth.

Phil Low’s insights offer a powerful lens through which to view our financial future. His message isn’t one of despair, but of preparedness and understanding the fundamental truths about money and trust. As the global financial landscape continues to evolve, or perhaps, unwind, understanding these dynamics becomes not just prudent, but essential for safeguarding your financial well-being.
