Tishwash: Five Key Iraqi Dinar Revaluations Against the US Dollar Since 1968

Few currencies tell a nation’s story as vividly as the Iraqi dinar. Once among the world’s strongest, valued at four US dollars, it later collapsed to the point where one dollar bought 3,000 dinars.

Today, at 1,310 to the dollar, the dinar is more than an exchange rate; it is a mirror of Iraq’s turbulent modern history.

Stage One: Founding (1931–1968)

The dinar was born in 1931 with the Iraqi Currency Board in London. In 1947, Iraq established the National Bank, later renamed the Central Bank of Iraq. This was more than a financial step it was a declaration of sovereignty, giving Iraq its own currency at a time when newly independent states sought symbols of nationhood.

Stage Two: The Golden Age (1968–1988)

From the late 1960s to the late 1980s, the dinar lived its golden age.

1968–1979: 1 IQD = $4 (100 USD = 25 dinars).

1980–1988: 1 IQD ≈ $3.3 (100 USD = 28 dinars).

Fueled by oil revenues, Iraq’s currency symbolized prosperity and power. For ordinary Iraqis, it was not just money in their pockets but proof that their country could stand strong on the world stage.

Stage Three: Collapse and Fragmentation (1990–2003)

Wars, sanctions, and economic isolation shattered that strength. After the invasion of Kuwait and the Gulf War, the dinar plummeted. Two currencies circulated the “Swiss dinar” in Kurdistan and heavily devalued notes elsewhere.

By the mid-1990s, 1 USD = 3,000 IQD (100 USD = 300,000 dinars).

This collapse was more than economic. It destroyed savings, eroded trust, and turned the dinar into a daily reminder of hardship and international isolation.

Stage Four: Post-2003 Fragile Stability

Following the 2003 US-led invasion, Iraq introduced new notes and began stabilization efforts.

2006–2008: The dinar appreciated almost 20% to around 1,200 per dollar.

2010–2011: The rate stabilized at 1,166 per USD, offering rare predictability.

Yet fragility persisted. Black market pressures often drove the dollar higher than the official peg. In 2020, with oil revenues collapsing, Iraq sharply devalued the dinar to 1,460. In February 2023, the Central Bank revalued to 1,300 per USD, aiming to restore confidence. But in practice, parallel markets continued trading above 1,400.

Beyond Numbers: The Dinar as a Shared Fiction

Currencies, as historian and author Yuval Noah Harari reminds us, are shared fictions, stories people choose to believe in. The Iraqi dinar’s history shows what happens when that collective faith falters, and how fragile yet vital it is to rebuild.

Each revaluation, from the $4 peak in the 1970s to the 1,300 peg in 2023,  was not just a technical adjustment. It was an attempt to reclaim trust, to remind Iraqis that their state could still hold the line against chaos.

The dinar’s journey is not only about money. It is about Iraq’s struggle for sovereignty, resilience, and the fragile hope that, one day, the story told by its currency will once again be one of strength.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Naval Build-Up: U.S. Modernizes Fleet While China Surges Ahead in Shipbuilding

As China scales ship production and the U.S. ramps its naval modernization amid war games in the South China Sea, the balance of power is shifting — with major implications for global money, trade, and military finance.

China’s Shipyard Dominance & Technological Leap

• China now accounts for over half of all global ship orders by tonnage in the first eight months of 2025, confirming its dominance in commercial and dual-use shipbuilding – despite U.S. port fees targeting Chinese vessels.

• The aircraft carrier Fujian launched a stealth fighter using an electromagnetic catapult — a capability previously almost unique to the U.S. Navy. This reflects not just quantity, but technological maturity. 

• China’s latest naval project, the amphibious assault ship Type 076 “Sichuan”, is designed to carry drones and launch them with EMALS-like systems; it is preparing for sea trials. 

U.S. Response: Modernization, Fees, and Strategic Rebalancing

• The U.S. is pushing port fees on Chinese-built vessels entering U.S. ports, raising the cost for vessels tied to Chinese shipyards, in part as a way to counter China’s maritime dominance. 

• U.S. naval modernization includes investing in shipyards, increasing production, and improving warship technology, although several reports warn of weaknesses: maintenance backlogs, supply chain delays, workforce shortages. 

War Games & U.S.-China Confrontations in the Sea

• Recent U.S. war games and exercises in the South China Sea, often with allies, serve both as deterrence and as demonstrations of logistical capacity and naval readiness — key in projecting both power and securing supply lines. 

• China, meanwhile, is performing its own naval drills, advancing capabilities in drone warfare, early warning aircraft, and carrier operations. The potential for escalation exists, but much also depends on who controls the maritime routes.

How This Fits Into Broader Global Restructuring

🔹 Industrial Capacity as National Security Asset
▪️ China's state-supported industrial base allows it to produce commercial and warship assets at scale and speed. Those shipyards are dual use: supporting merchant fleets, but also military expansion.
▪️ U.S. is trying to revive its shipbuilding industrial base — not just for defense, but because industrial strength impacts trade balance, employment, and technological leadership.

🔹 Financial & Trade Levers in Strategic Competition
▪️ Port fees on Chinese-built vessels are not just trade policy — they are financial instruments used to shape economic dependencies and shift investment flows.
▪️ Countries ordering ships, choosing ports, or contracting shipyards are effectively making strategic financial decisions: where capital flows, where alliances are strengthened, where supply chains are trusted.

🔹 Alliance Behavior & Global Military Finance
▪️ U.S. war games with allies amplify defense costs: joint training, combined procurement, shared technology development. Funding these requires investment, debt, subsidies, which influences national budgets.
▪️ China’s activities press other nations to reexamine their naval and maritime strategies; they may feel compelled to invest more in defense or align more closely with China or the U.S. for protection, trade guarantees, or port access.

Key Implications

• Countries dependent on shipping or maritime trade must now consider which naval power controls the routes, how fees or sanctions could affect shipping costs, and what defense guarantees they will need.

• U.S. policy is beginning to treat industrial capacity (shipyards, ports, naval tech) not just as defense, but as essential infrastructure in geopolitical competition.

• The speed and scale of China’s shipbuilding challenge the assumption that the U.S. can remain structurally dominant without major reform, funding, or alliances.

Why This Matters
The naval build-up is not just about ships or war games. It’s about which nations control maritime commerce, technological platforms, and industrial capacity. How trade gets routed, which currencies are used in ship finance, who builds warships and their supply chains — all this will reshape political and financial systems of power globally.

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

SWIFT’s Blockchain Push vs. Ripple/XRP: Competition in the Cross-Border Payments Arena

As SWIFT pivots toward blockchain and tokenization, Ripple/XRP’s fast, low-cost rails present a parallel model — both are part of a broader reshaping of how value moves globally.

SWIFT’s Prototype with Consensys: Modernizing the Backbone

• SWIFT is developing a shared blockchain ledger in partnership with Consensys, aimed at improving cross-border payments among global banks. The prototype will test tokenized assets (including stablecoins), enforce transactions with smart contracts, validate sequencing, and improve transaction cost transparency. 

• Key participating banks include Bank of America, Citigroup, NatWest, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, etc. Swift’s goal: offer 24/7 instant, always-on cross-border transactions with predictable pricing and speed. 

Ripple / XRP: Already Operating at the Edge of Innovation

• Ripple’s XRP Ledger (XRPL) settles many transactions in 3-5 seconds at very low fees (< $0.01), especially in remittances and low-value cross-border flows. In contrast, traditional SWIFT transfers can take days and cost tens of dollars. 

• Ripple’s model (On-Demand Liquidity, use of XRP as a bridge currency) sidesteps needs for pre-funded nostro/vostro accounts, reducing capital tied up in cross-border transfers. 

Where SWIFT and Ripple Overlap, Diverge, and What’s at Stake
🔹 Overlap / Convergence
▪️ SWIFT inserting blockchain rails into its messaging infrastructure suggests it recognizes the same pain points Ripple has long highlighted: high fees, delayed settlement, opaque fees.
▪️ The tokenization of assets and stablecoins, which SWIFT’s prototype supports, is a terrain where Ripple already has products (like its RLUSD stablecoin) and experience. 

🔹 Key Differences
▪️ Scale vs. agility: SWIFT has a vast global network of ~11,000+ financial institutions; Ripple/XRP is much newer but more nimble, able to move fast in certain corridors.
▪️ Settlement vs messaging: SWIFT historically handles messaging / instruction; Ripple handles actual value settlement using XRP. SWIFT’s blockchain effort appears to be about modernizing messaging plus adding settlement-adjacent capabilities, but Ripple directly handles liquidity and settlement.
▪️ Regulatory clarity & adoption: XRP’s usage depends heavily on regulation (e.g., classification of XRP, stablecoin rules, AML/KYC compliance). SWIFT is embedded in legacy systems and regulatory structures, giving it institutional trust; but it risks lagging in innovation if not careful.

Implications for Global Financial Restructuring

• Redefinition of Cross-Border Money Flows: As SWIFT upgrades and blockchain/crypto rails (Ripple/XRP, stablecoins, etc.) improve, money transfer becomes faster, cheaper, and more transparent. This reduces reliance on costly legacy banking intermediaries.

• Shifting Power over Financial Infrastructure: Who controls payment rails and messaging systems gains geopolitical leverage. Countries or institutions that adopt XRPL or SWIFT-blockchain systems may control more of the financial flow, clearing, and settlement power.

• Currency Sovereignty & De-Dollarization Pressures: As stablecoins and tokenized assets gain traction, less value might flow through USD-centric channels. Ripple’s blockchain model, combined with SWIFT’s recognizing of stablecoins and tokenization, opens up paths for non-USD payment settlements.

• Financial Access and Inclusion: Lower fees, faster settlement may make cross-border trade, remittances, and financial services more accessible to smaller countries, SMEs, and unbanked populations. That changes who participates in global finance.

Key Points 

• SWIFT is shifting from a purely messaging network to a blockchain-based prototype that includes tokenization and smart contracts.

• Ripple/XRP already offers settlement finality and liquidity in seconds, which SWIFT’s current model doesn’t yet match in most use cases.

• The move by SWIFT suggests incumbents are adapting—not being disrupted entirely but trying to incorporate the innovation around them.

Why This Matters Now
This is about more than tech. It’s about who writes the rules of cross-border value transfer. As SWIFT modernizes, blockchain networks like XRP are testing new possibilities. The intersection of regulation, infrastructure, currency choice, and technology is forming a new financial architecture.

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

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 29 September 2025

Compiled Mon. 29 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) was replacing the corrupt banking grid, routing transactions via secure Star Link satellites. QFS was incorruptible, decentralized, and tied to asset-backed currencies. 

The U.S. Treasury was aligning with ISO20022 and Rainbow Treasury Notes (to be announced Jan. 1 2026) backed by gold and silver. The privately owned by foreign bankers Federal Reserve and their collection arm, the IRS would soon be gone. Star Link was the new nervous system of commerce.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fri. 27 Sept. 2025 Everything is moving faster than expected. …John F. Kennedy on Telegram

Financial systems are syncing to new frequency bands.

Accounts are being mirrored into QFS.

Legacy ledgers are being drained and archived.

Every move now leaves a quantum imprint. No more hiding.

The world is not just watching — it’s aligning. In silence. In shadows. In full awareness.

Stay where you are. Listen without sound. Read between the lines. Everything is unfolding. TRUST THE PLAN

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Possible Timing:

The Wed. 1 Oct. 2025 government shutdown will be permanent for many offices. The Office of Management and Budget has been telling Agencies to prepare elimination lists. President Trump stated, “Many Americans will be happy on Oct. 1 2025.” Is this the day that the Global Currency Reset would be official?

Mon. 13 Oct. was expected to be the beginning of a banking and market crash. As the old fiat financial system goes down, there were 209 country’s banks already connected to the new gold/asset-backed Quantum Financial System. Out of those, 97 Central Banks have been covertly integrated, while 82 more were pending.

Tues. 14 Oct. 2025 has been designated as World Quantum Day when Nesara Gesara Law will be (allegedly) official throughout the World. By that Tues. 14 Oct. Bitcoin would be (allegedly) gone; Servers and data centers, (allegedly) obliterated; 99.5% of all crypto—(allegedly) vanished. Only ISO20022 coins, backed by gold, would survive. As this fiat system died, the Stock Market would crater. Such would signal the end of the Cabal’s SWIFT Global Banking System.

By the next day on Wed. 15 Oct. 2025 there was expected to be a full banking and market crash – that would trigger activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). 

On Tues. 30 Sept. 2025 US Inc. Government funding ends, no debt ceiling increase, shutdown begins. Money printing stops. “The biggest upgrade to the US Treasury is happening on Sept. 30 2025.” …Eco X on X

Oct 8–13: Predicted crash window. Full banking and market collapse Oct 13–15.

Iraq: US troops nearly gone. Sudani must pay or (allegedly)  lose trillions in bonds and face public execution. Iraq must RV by month’s end and will (allegedly)  join BRICS.

NESARA/GESARA: Will be announced. Accounts (allegedly)  reset to zero, then restored. Have cash, food, water ready. Stimulus and Tariff Bonus expected in October.

“On 14 October 2025 Nesara Gesara will be official throughout the World. The Quantum Reset Has Begun. The Reset Is Real.

Militia Man  Think about it, when Iraq starts to rebuild its country in dinar and when they do a revaluation, redenomination and apply a real effective exchange rate, they're going to be able to get construction material far cheaper in dinar terms.  That's fact IMO.

Frank26   A long long time ago in a far far galaxy I once told you the day you see the HCL you'll see what you've been wanting to see, a new exchange rate for the currency of the country of Iraq for the Iraqi dinar, within nanoseconds.

Nader From The Mid East  We have to wait for Forex.  It's on the agenda.  They're talking a lot about Forex but they're not saying when we're going to be on Forex. If it's on Forex even at 1310, I just want it tradable on Forex even at 1310.  It don't care at 1320.  I just want it tradable.  Once it's tradable then we talk.  For now it's not tradable.  It is on Forex but it's frozen.  You cannot sell it on Forex.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Israel’s Gaza War & Trump-Netanyahu Talks Reshape Global Alignments

Diplomatic recognition, financial leverage, and post-war governance point to a broader restructuring of the global order.

Israeli Forces Advance as Diplomacy Intensifies
As Israeli forces deepen their push into Gaza ahead of planned White House talks between Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, the military campaign is colliding with urgent international diplomacy. The U.S. president has signaled he will propose a new Gaza peace framework, but his ability to deliver rests on whether allies and Arab states align behind it.

Recognition of Palestine Challenges U.S. Policy
▪️ Britain, France, Canada, and Australia have formally recognized Palestinian statehood, testing Trump’s pro-Israel stance.
▪️ This shift strengthens Palestine’s claim to international legitimacy and creates new pathways for financial aid, trade, and institutional engagement.
▪️ Diplomatic recognition here is more than symbolism — it directly reshapes the channels through which global finance flows. 

Palestinian Leadership Seeks Cooperation
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has pledged cooperation with Trump, France, Saudi Arabia, and others on a U.N.-backed peace plan — despite rejecting Hamas’s actions. This move aligns the Palestinian Authority with a broad diplomatic coalition, signaling readiness for structured governance and international funding flows. 

Post-War Governance and Arab Roles
▪️ The U.S. has discussed with Gulf states the possibility of temporary administration of Gaza after the war.
▪️ Such arrangements would require new funding frameworks, governance structures, and trade guarantees — effectively building parallel financial systems.
▪️ European and Muslim-majority countries are also considering stabilization missions, adding layers of international oversight. 

Regional Pushback and Humanitarian Costs
▪️ Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman have warned of regional collapse and demanded recognition of Palestine.
▪️ The humanitarian toll and infrastructure destruction risk triggering sanctions, trade realignments, and redirection of international aid. 

Why This Matters
The Israel-Palestine conflict is no longer just about territory — it is now a fault line in global financial structuring.

• Diplomatic recognition of Palestine re-channels financial legitimacy.

• Post-war governance will create new funding mechanisms and oversight institutions.

• The humanitarian and economic burden forces nations to redirect capital toward reconstruction and relief.

• Allies diverging from U.S. policy signals a realignment of global alliances that will spill into trade, aid, and sanctions.

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

NATO & EU React to Russia’s 12-Hour Barrage: A Signal of Deepening Global Fractures

The intense Russian aerial assault on Ukraine and the strong responses from allies are reshaping how security, diplomacy, and finance interact — part of the larger global restructuring underway.

Russia’s Assault, NATO’s Flight Response

• Russia launched a 12-hour barrage over Ukraine with over 40 cruise missiles and nearly 600 drones, hitting regions including Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, and Odesa. Civilian infrastructure was damaged; lives were lost. 

• NATO scrambled fighter jets and raised alerts as missile and drone threats mounted. Ukraine’s President Zelenskiy condemned the strike as “vile and cowardly,” urging stricter sanctions on Russian oil and increased military aid from allies.

EU Allies Step Up, Propose Regional Defense Measures

• President Volodymyr Zelenskiy proposed creating a joint aerial defense shield with European allies to protect against ongoing Russian missile and airspace incursions. Europe responded with calls for more robust defense cooperation, particularly along NATO’s eastern flank. 

• A "drone wall" initiative is gaining traction: EU defense ministers agreed to strengthen detection and interception of drones along borders, focusing first on eastern member states. This includes investment in defense industry capacity and rapid deployment.

NATO’s Strategic Tightening and Tensions

• Zelenskiy sharply criticized what he called NATO’s “weak reaction” to repeated Russian violations of airspace by drones and aircraft; some members are now pressing for more assertive rules of engagement. (Newsweek)

• Some NATO allies have activated Article 4 (consultations) in response to airspace breaches; others are reinforcing eastern defenses, deploying jets and missile defense resources closer to borders with Russia.

Russia’s Pushback & Risk of Escalation

• Russia has warned that any aggression against its airspace will be met with “decisive response.” Moscow denies some of the accusations of breaching NATO airspace but claims that western support for Ukraine is making the conflict more dangerous. (Reuters)

• Moscow also views proposals like Ukraine’s potential NATO membership and enhanced defense cooperation among EU states as part of what it sees as a broader encroachment, raising the risk of miscalculation.

How This Fits Into Global Political and Financial Restructuring 

🔹 Security & Finance Converge
▪️ Military escalation carries immediate fiscal consequences: more spending on air defense, rebuilding damaged infrastructure, hosting displaced populations. This shifts national budgets and foreign aid flows, reshaping which countries become donors vs. dependents.
▪️ Countries investing heavily in defense (Eastern Europe, Baltic states, Poland, etc.) may see accelerated development of their defense-industrial sectors—part of a broader economic realignment away from dependency on traditional supply lines.

🔹 Legitimacy, Recognition & Power Structures
▪️ Zelenskiy’s calls for collective defense, EU support, and formal recognition of Ukraine’s threats underscore how legitimacy in international law and alliances translates into geopolitical and financial power.
▪️ As EU and NATO tighten their frameworks, access to trade, investment, and diplomatic influence hinges on being regarded as a trustworthy partner in a volatile environment.

🔹 De-Dollarization & Alt Finance Pressure
▪️ As sanctions intensify and the costs of war escalate, Russia (and those aligned with or sympathetic to it) are likely to lean even more on non-USD financial mechanisms, regional partnerships, and alternative payment systems.
▪️ For Ukraine and its allies, securing financial backing, loans, arms, and post-war recovery packages involves navigating sanction regimes and often collateralizing autonomy in how they engage with capital flows.

Why This Matters
Russia’s barrage and the strong reactions from NATO and EU allies expose fissures in the old security-and-finance order. What we’re seeing is the emboldened assertion of regional defense autonomy, financial realignments driven by necessity, and the redefinition of what it means to protect sovereignty and legitimacy.

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

Tishwash:  The government adopts the "Oliver Wyman Strategy" for the development road project.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani chaired the regular meeting of the Higher Committee for the Development Road on Sunday, September 28, 2025, in the presence of the Ministers of Transport and Construction and Housing, the Chairman of the National Investment Commission, a number of advisors and executives, and representatives of Oliver Wyman, the company's private consultant.

 During the meeting, according to a statement from Al-Sudani's office, a copy of which was received by Al-Jabal, "the latest developments in the project and the procedures required to proceed with its stages were discussed. The draft law of the authority for the development road, the port of Faw and the industrial cities was reviewed. The rates of progress achieved in the technical and administrative aspects, as well as the plans related to the railway and the road were also reviewed."

Regarding the Grand Faw Port, according to the statement, "the Director General of Ports presented a detailed report on the percentages of the latest achievements in the roads and the submerged tunnel, and the remaining percentages of completion. He also discussed the operational file and details of the offers submitted by other companies and countries."

 Al-Sudani pointed to "the importance of the project and the need to shift work from the technical and administrative aspects to practical implementation, so that citizens are fully informed of the efforts being made by all state institutions to complete the first stages of the development path," stressing that "the next phase will witness the commencement of the actual implementation of the process."

The meeting discussed the project's progress with the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, the results of the recent quadripartite meeting of the project's contributing countries in Baghdad, and the issue of land expropriation. The Prime Minister directed the head of the Higher Council for Coordination between the Governorates to communicate with the relevant governorates and resolve the remaining expropriation issue.

 According to the statement, "Oliver Wyman presented a summary of its progress on the integrated strategy for the Development Road project, which includes governance, the road, the railway, the economic strategy, investment opportunities, and investor outreach. It proposed beginning implementation of the strategy and agreeing to share the interim governance protocol with partner countries before the upcoming quadrilateral ministerial meeting in Baghdad."

 During the meeting, it was decided to "adopt the complete strategy submitted for the project."link

Tishwash:  Central Bank: We have comfortable foreign reserves capable of defending the exchange rate.

Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq announced on Sunday that Iraq is currently experiencing its lowest inflation rate in history. He noted that Iraq possesses comfortable foreign reserves capable of defending the exchange rate and emphasized the creation of a sound investment environment following the significant success of monetary policy.

format issues

In his speech at the Iraq Investment Forum, Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq said, "The current phase in Iraq is characterized by stability, reform, and openness to investment." He noted that "the Central Bank is a prerequisite for achieving this stability through its monetary and fiscal policies, controlling inflation, supporting and stimulating various economic initiatives, addressing the demands of the situation, and enabling the private sector to operate in a suitable environment."

He added, "Achieving monetary and financial stability is the result of several factors, most notably the daily policies pursued by the Central Bank in addressing developments and challenges, the prudent management of financial reserves, which constitute a fundamental pillar for achieving stability, and the management of the banking sector in a way that contributes to strengthening this process."

He pointed out that "one of the most prominent indicators of the success of monetary policy is creating a sound investment environment through controlling inflation rates," explaining

that "general price stability constitutes an important foundation for the private sector and investors, while turbulent environments in terms of price and inflation levels hinder real growth."

He pointed out that "the Central Bank is giving this issue top priority through close monitoring to ensure overall price stability," emphasizing that "Iraq is currently experiencing the lowest inflation rates in its history, which reflects the success of monetary policies in controlling and managing the flow of currency, in addition to the presence of comfortable foreign reserves capable of defending the exchange rate and achieving a significant balance between supply and demand for foreign currency." link

Tishwash:  Dr. Mahoud: The banking reform plan focused on three main factors.

The Prime Minister's advisor for banking affairs, Saleh Mahoud, confirmed on Sunday that the banking reform plan focused on three main factors, while noting that the World Bank praised Iraq's progress in electronic payments.

Mahoud said, "The banking reform plan adopted by the Central Bank of Iraq in coordination with the government took into account three main factors: trust, speed of procedures, and the development of banking tools."

He explained that "investors seek trust, speed of procedures, and modern banking products, and these elements represent the fundamental pillars of any investment environment." He noted that "enhancing trust depends on the presence of effective institutions and compliance with anti-money laundering regulations, which positively impacts investor confidence in the banking system and investment environment."

He added, "The speed of procedures means a shift toward digitization and the development of electronic payment methods, which is what the banking reform plan focused on through extensive coordination between the government, the Central Bank, and the private sector." He noted that "the relevant committees are working in an organized and effective manner."

He pointed out that "the most prominent challenges facing the digital transformation process lie in societal culture and resistance to change, given that Iraqi society relies on cash." He explained that "the government and the Central Bank have sought to spread the culture of electronic payment through practical decisions, including adopting fuel stations as a starting point for card payment experiments, which has contributed to raising awareness of the importance of these tools."

He pointed out that "other challenges relate to infrastructure, legislation, and cybersecurity, as well as the gap between cities and villages in the field of digital services," noting that "the government, in coordination with the Central Bank, has issued clear instructions to activate electronic payment tools in the governorates."

He added, "During a recent symposium, World Bank experts praised the rapid progress Iraq has made in electronic payments and financial inclusion over the past three years, stressing that the indicators recorded in the number of cards and electronic payment devices reflect this development  link

In July, the United States quietly took an equity stake in the nation’s largest rare earth miner and even set a price floor to support it. The United States is very focused on the dominance of China in minerals… This is going to get very interesting.

BREAKING NEWS: THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT IS IN TALKS TO TAKE STAKES IN MULTIPLE CRITICAL MINERALS COMPANIES

You heard it here, first:

Gold Telegraph:  Something to think about… The U.S. just took a 10% equity stake in Intel all in the name of national security. If chips justify ownership… do you really think critical minerals aren’t next? China has played this game for decades. Washington is only starting to catch up.

This has been more than a decade in the making. I’ve been writing this story for years, sometimes dismissed as crazy, even delusional. What a moment. What a ride.

Innovation: Stablecoins, CBDCs & New Payment Networks

Nominal monetary innovation is moving fast — stablecoins and CBDCs are shifting from fringe to core components of how money moves globally

Stablecoins Gaining Institutional Legitimacy in Europe

• A consortium of nine major European banks (including ING, UniCredit, DekaBank) is forming a company in Amsterdam to issue a euro-denominated stablecoin, targeting launch in H2 2026. 

• The initiative aims to deliver faster, lower‐cost payment and settlement solutions, while enhancing financial sovereignty under the EU’s MiCA framework.

Expanding Stablecoin Use & Regulatory Backing

• Stablecoin market cap remains high and stable coins are being increasingly looked upon as infrastructure for payments, trading, trade settlement, and cross-border finance. 

• Regulatory moves like the U.S. GENIUS Act are giving clearer frameworks for payment stablecoins, oversight of issuers, and standards for reserves and audits. 

CBDC & Digital Payment Infrastructure Trends

• Cross-border CBDC initiatives are expanding, such as Project mBridge (China, Thailand, UAE, Hong Kong, etc.), wholesale payment corridors, research into offline CBDC functionality. 

• Academic studies are designing hybrid monetary ecosystems, combining stablecoins, fiat, CBDCs so that private and public monies co-exist under digital rails. 

Why This Matters

• These payment innovations reduce friction in global transactions: faster settlement, lower cost, reduced dependence on traditional banks.

• They provide alternatives to SWIFT, dollar-pegged systems, and may ease the path toward trade in local currency or stablecoin arrangements.

• As stablecoins and CBDCs scale, the infrastructure of global finance begins to shift—who controls the rails matters as much as who holds the reserves.

Geopolitical Implications

• Europe wants sovereignty in payments; BRICS and others are watching. Those with robust digital infrastructure may gain economic leverage.

• Countries under sanctions or currency instability may lean on stablecoins or CBDCs as lifelines outside global USD clearing.

• Regulatory clarity (or lack thereof) becomes a battleground—nations that define rules in their favor will attract innovation and capital.

Why This Matters
Innovation in the movement of money is accelerating. What seems like niche payments tech is actually the foundation for a new financial order. As stablecoins and CBDCs mature, control over payment networks, currency rails, and settlement systems becomes a major component of global financial restructuring.

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

De-Dollarization & Currency Alternatives Gain Speed

With debt pressures mounting and innovation rising, countries are accelerating efforts to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar — rewriting global financial alignments.

Quiet Moves Away from Dollar Dependence

• As the U.S. dollar weakens, many countries’ dollar-denominated debt liabilities expand, increasing risk. The global debt report shows major economies are increasingly exposed.

• Emerging markets now carry over $109 trillion in total debt, making them especially sensitive to USD fluctuations and rate changes. 

Alternative Currency & Stablecoin Developments

• European banks launching a euro stablecoin represent a direct challenge to dollar-centric payments and trade systems. It offers a euro-denominated digital payment option. 

• Countries increasing CBDC efforts and hybrid monetary models (stablecoin + fiat) point toward multipolar monetary infrastructure.

Dollar System Under Strain

• The global debt surge and rising bond/loan redemptions in emerging markets may force renegotiations, defaults, or restructuring. All these weaken confidence in USD‐denominated finance.

• With the GENIUS Act and other regulations, the U.S. is also institutionalizing stablecoins — signaling that USD’s role may become more digital and regulated, but not unchallenged. 

Why This Matters
The combination of overwhelming global debt, innovation in money forms (stablecoins, CBDCs), and rising currency alternatives creates a fertile ground for de-dollarization. What once took decades may now accelerate in years—or months.

Countries already under pressure from debt, inflation, or sanctions are especially motivated to reduce exposure to exchange rate risk, to diversify reserves, and to explore payment rails outside U.S. influence.

Geopolitical Implications

• BRICS and other alliances may solidify new trade and payment networks that settle in local or alternative currencies.

• Reserve managers will reconsider dollar holdings; gold and other assets may re-gain centrality.

• Nations may increasingly view U.S. policy not just through diplomacy but as financial risk affecting how they trade, borrow, issue debt.

Why This Matters
De-dollarization is no longer theory—it is unfolding through shifting debt, reserve strategy, and innovation. The realignment of currencies and financial rails is part of a new global order being written right now.

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

How I Plan to Exchange IQD for USD Plus Taxes

How I Plan to Exchange IQD for USD Plus Taxes

Edu Matrix:  9-27-2025

There’s a buzz within the Iraqi Dinar (IQD) investment community, and it often centers around a tempting notion: the idea that profits made from IQD investments are somehow exempt from taxation.

 It’s a comforting thought, that a lucrative venture might come with a built-in tax advantage. However, as registered tax professional Sandy Ingram from Edu Matrix explains in a recent video, this is a common misconception that could lead to serious trouble.

Let’s be clear from the outset: tax evasion is illegal. 

There’s no gray area here. But tax avoidance? That’s a different story. As Sandy highlights, tax avoidance, when done through legal and compliant means, is not only smart but actively encouraged. It’s about understanding the rules and using them to your advantage, not breaking them.

Sandy, with her extensive experience as a world traveler who regularly exchanges various foreign currencies, offers a crucial perspective. She emphasizes that currency exchanges, especially for significant amounts, are not happening in a vacuum. They are monitored, and particularly large transactions are often linked to U.S. tax reporting requirements.

This isn’t about being paranoid; it’s about acknowledging the reality of financial oversight.

The allure of potential legislative changes that might exempt IQD profits from taxes is understandable. However, Sandy is firm on this point: as of now, no such laws exist. Until proven otherwise through official legislative action, investors are fully liable for capital gains tax on any profits realized from their IQD investments.

This is where smart tax planning becomes paramount. Sandy mentions that she offers exclusive content to her channel’s members, where she delves into legal methods to minimize tax liabilities on IQD profits. This is the kind of proactive approach that separates informed investors from those who are unknowingly exposing themselves to risk.

Demonstrating her commitment to providing accurate, firsthand information, Sandy also shared her plans to travel near the Middle East to personally verify currency exchange processes for the IQD. While acknowledging the safety concerns due to current geopolitical tensions, this initiative underscores her dedication to bringing you the most reliable insights possible.

The takeaway message is clear: Don’t rely on rumors or assumptions when it comes to your investments and your taxes. Understand your obligations, explore legal avenues for tax optimization, and stay informed.

For a deeper dive into this critical topic and to hear Sandy Ingram’s expert advice directly, be sure to watch the full video from Edu Matrix. Your financial future could depend on it.

News, Rumors and Opinions Sunday 9-28-2025

KTFA:

Clare:  The Central Bank of Iraq comments on the possibility of changing the dollar exchange rate.

9/28/2025

Central Bank Governor Ali Al-Alaq denied on Sunday any plans to change the dinar's exchange rate against the dollar.

During a dialogue session at the Iraq Investment Forum, attended by a Shafaq News Agency correspondent, Al-Alaq said, "There is no talk or discussion within the Central Bank or the government about adjusting the official exchange rate for the dollar."

He added, "Everything that is being circulated is untrue."

The dollar exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar has fluctuated significantly in recent years. After the previous government, headed by Mustafa al-Kadhimi, changed it from 121,000 dinars per $100 to 140,000 dinars, the current government, headed by Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, changed it again to 132,000 dinars per $100.

During previous changes, its price in the local market remained significantly higher than the official rate, reaching 170,000 dinars per 100 dinars, before recently stabilizing at a slight margin.  LINK

Silver Nearing All-Time Highs - Expect Fireworks | Tavi Costa

Liberty and Finance:  9-27-2025

Tavi Costa from Crescat Capital shares his outlook on silver as the long-anticipated cup-and-handle formation finally plays out, with prices surging toward $50.

He emphasizes that silver’s strength stems from its role as a monetary metal tied to gold’s cycle, not just industrial demand, making mining companies deeply undervalued and highly leveraged to rising prices.

Costa points to the U.S. twin deficit crisis, a weakening dollar, and financial repression as key catalysts driving both precious metals and emerging market opportunities.

He highlights the appeal of emerging markets, where resource-driven economies and suppressed valuations could deliver returns similar to the explosive gains of the early 2000s.

Overall, he argues we are still only in the early-to-mid stages of a powerful secular bull market in commodities and hard assets.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

UN Reimposes Sanctions on Iran Over Nuclear Program

The sanctions highlight not just nuclear concerns, but also the shifting power dynamics of global trade, finance, and monetary alignment.

Sanctions Return Under JCPOA Snapback
On September 28, 2025, the United Nations officially reimposed sanctions on Iran after France, Germany, and the UK (E3) triggered the snapback mechanism of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

The reinstated measures bring back six previous UN Security Council resolutions, including:

• Arms embargo banning weapons exports to Iran.

• Nuclear restrictions on enrichment and related activities.

• Missile technology ban on transfers linked to ballistic programs.

• Financial freezes on Iranian entities and officials.

• Cargo inspections for shipments to and from Iran.

The E3 argued Iran had engaged in “significant non-performance” by exceeding enrichment limits and restricting IAEA monitoring. A Russian-Chinese effort to delay the snapback failed in a UN Security Council vote on September 26.

Iran’s Response: Rejection and Retaliation
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian condemned the sanctions as “unjust and illegal”. Tehran retaliated diplomatically by recalling ambassadors from London, Paris, and Berlin.

The sanctions immediately worsened Iran’s fragile economy:

• The rial hit a record low, collapsing against the dollar.

• Inflation and shortages deepened, adding pressure to households already struggling with U.S. sanctions.

Geopolitical Divide Over Enforcement
The snapback has exposed sharp divisions inside the UN system:

• Russia and China declared the sanctions invalid and pledged to continue trade with Iran.

• The U.S. and E3 nations framed the move as necessary to restore accountability.

This divide shows that sanctions, once a tool of unified global governance, are now fragmented by multipolar competition. Enforcement will depend less on UN consensus and more on the parallel trade systems emerging outside Western frameworks.

Why This Matters
Iran’s snapback sanctions reflect more than nuclear noncompliance — they reveal the fault lines of global finance and trade realignment:

• The sanctions tighten Iran’s isolation from dollar-based systems, forcing it to lean harder on Russia, China, and potentially BRICS channels for survival.

• The split over enforcement demonstrates how Western financial dominance is being challenged by alternative blocs.

• The rial’s collapse underlines how currencies of sanctioned nations are increasingly tied to geopolitical alignment rather than market fundamentals.

This case reinforces the broader trend: sanctions are no longer just about diplomacy — they are about which monetary and trade system a country belongs to.

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

Global Debt Surge Puts Pressure on the Old System

Record debt levels globally are pushing nations toward financial fragility — accelerating a restructuring of monetary power and currency dependence.

A Record‐Setting Debt Landscape

• Global debt surged to $337.7 trillion by the end of Q2 2025, up by over $21 trillion in just six months, according to the Institute of International Finance (IIF). 

• Emerging markets now face over $109 trillion in debt, and they are staring down more than $3.2 trillion in bond and loan redemptions before year‐end. 

Major Economies Feel the Strain

• The U.S., China, France, Germany, Britain, Japan all showed large increases in dollar‐denominated debt—partly due to exchange rate effects as the U.S. dollar weakened. 

• The debt‐to‐GDP ratio for emerging markets hit a record 242.4%, with global ratio just above 324%.

• Short‐term U.S. government debt now makes up about 20% of total federal debt, raising risks for interest sensitivity and central bank policy autonomy. 

Why This Matters
This is more than just large numbers:

• Heavily indebted countries may lose financial policy flexibility. When debt servicing consumes budget, countries must choose between cutting public spending, raising taxes, or seeking new financial arrangements.

• Rising debt pressures create incentives for nations to seek alternative financing sources — including those outside the U.S. dollar system, or from regional blocs.

• Weaker U.S. dollar increases global debt burdens (when debt is dollar‐denominated), making dollar dominance less comfortable for many nations.

Geopolitical Implications

• Bond markets and global investors may begin to apply more pressure (“bond vigilantes”) to those perceived as fiscally irresponsible, which could destabilize traditional reserve currency‐led finance.

• Countries could shift toward alternative reserve currencies, gold, or non‐USD denominated debt markets if risks in holding and servicing USD debts grow.

Why This Matters
The global debt surge is not just an accounting concern—it is a pivotal stress test of the existing financial order. As governments buckle under debt, the logic of holding dollar‐centric assets, borrowing in dollars, or relying on U.S. financial markets becomes riskier. In this environment, new systems, currencies, or trade/payment networks can gain traction.

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

“Tidbits From TNT” Sunday Morning 9-28-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Why was 06:00 set for Kurdistan oil exports?

For two main reasons, 06:00 am was set as the time for Kurdistan oil exports. 

After more than two and a half years of suspension, at 6:50 am on Saturday, September 27, 2025, the export of Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) crude oil from the Peshawar oil field to the Turkish World Port resumed.

Kewan Hassan, a technology consultant, told Kurdistan24 on Saturday, September 27, 2025, that 06:00 am is the standard time to start selling and trading international oil; This is due to two main factors related to the integration of global markets and electronic systems.

1. Official time of global markets

According to Kewan Hassan, the oil market, especially for futures and contracts on exchanges such as NYMEX and ICE, have a common timing system for all transactions. These transactions often start at a certain time, which is set at 06:00 am New York/London time to ensure consistency and balance in the market. This integration helps markets work smoothly around the world.

2. Harmonization of electronic systems and banks

The technology consultant added that as oil transactions are conducted electronically and systematically, there is a need for a consistent timeline for global companies. At that point, computerized systems and banks begin executing sell and buy orders simultaneously, guaranteeing that all parties operate on the same timing level and that the overall market impact is evenly distributed to all.

This system integration is important to reduce complexity and ensure speed and accuracy in large oil transactions.   link

Tishwash:  State Department: We helped to reach an agreement between Erbil and Baghdad

The US State Department has confirmed that it has supported an agreement between Erbil and Baghdad to resume Kurdistan oil exports.

On Saturday, September 27, 2025, US State Department spokesman Tammy Bruce said in a statement that the US participated in the agreement between Erbil and Baghdad that led to the resumption of oil exports to Turkey.

"We are in constant contact with the Iraqi government and are committed to all our partners across the country, and are working to build a sovereign, stable and developed state," he said.

"In engaging with the Iraqi government, we support those who share our risks and priorities," Bruce said.

He stressed that the resumption of oil exports will also benefit the United States and Iraq.

Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) resumed oil exports to Turkey on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at 6:50 am.

The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi government have agreed to export 190,000 barrels of oil per day to the port of Jayhan in the first phase.  link

Tishwash:  Prime Minister: The government has achieved significant accomplishments in less than three years.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani affirmed, on Saturday, that the government has been able to achieve great accomplishments in less than 3 years, while pointing out that the electoral entitlement is important, as the awareness of the citizen will be the deciding factor in shaping the political future in Iraq, and non-participation will have its repercussions.

The Prime Minister's media office said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani received sheikhs and dignitaries of the tribes of the northern Baghdad regions, in the presence of former Deputy Prime Minister Bahaa Al-Araji."

Al-Sudani stressed, according to the statement, that "the country has overcome difficult stages that were ravaging our societies, our children and our cities, and the killing, destruction and incitement of sedition that accompanied them," indicating that "the awareness and stand of the Iraqi people thwarted the plans of sedition, and Iraq today enjoys security and stability achieved through great sacrifices."

Al-Sudani explained that "the government has been able to achieve great accomplishments in less than three years, despite the unnatural circumstances and events that the region has experienced. It dealt with them wisely and responsibly, and prioritized the interests of Iraq and its people. The country is today on the right track and we have a clear vision for management and facing challenges."

He pointed out that "the electoral entitlement is important, as the citizen's awareness will be the deciding factor in shaping the political future in Iraq, and failure to participate will have repercussions." He stressed that "the government needs an important, influential and large parliamentary bloc to be more productive."

Al-Sudani stressed that "Baghdad, with its cities, districts and sub-districts, has suffered greatly from terrorism that has disrupted the work of institutions and local governments from performing their duties," indicating, "There was poor planning, mismanagement and corruption despite the allocation of large funds in various budgets."

He pointed out that "Baghdad has more than 9.5 million people according to the latest population census, a 35% increase that is putting pressure on services," noting that "the service effort has implemented projects in neighborhoods that have not seen services for years."

He stressed that "citizens are today seeing our measures to address stalled and stalled projects, especially in Baghdad," explaining that "the rehabilitation of Baghdad's northern entrance is a sustainable and integrated project, and citizens have expressed their satisfaction with the completed service projects."

Al-Sudani concluded by saying: "We are working to improve the economic and financial situation of Iraq, and we have put in place plans for reform, investment in human and natural resources, and diversification of economic sources." link

Fed Trapped: Banking Crisis or Dollar Collapse | Rafi Farber

Fed Trapped: Banking Crisis or Dollar Collapse | Rafi Farber

Liberty and Finance:  9-26-2025

The Federal Reserve is caught in a no-win scenario, forced to cut rates while inflation accelerates, leaving them trapped between collapsing banks and a collapsing dollar.

 We’re living through an unprecedented era of economic uncertainty. If you’ve felt a nagging sense that something isn’t quite right with the global financial system, you’re not alone.

 A recent discussion between Elijah K. Johnson and Rafi Farber on Liberty and Finance offers a sobering, yet vital, deep dive into the precarious state of global finance, revealing challenges that demand our immediate attention.

Farber and Johnson lay bare a complex web of interconnected risks, from the seemingly impossible predicament of the Federal Reserve to the ticking time bomb of China’s real estate market. Buckle up, because their insights paint a picture of challenges that could fundamentally reshape our financial future.

This isn’t just academic speculation; Farber points to internal discord within the Fed itself as a sign of deep nervousness about economic stability. He likens the situation to the late 1970s and early 1980s, a period of severe economic upheaval.

Beyond the headlines, critical components of the financial system are flashing warning signs. Rafi Farber meticulously explains the intricacies of the repo market – the engine of overnight lending between financial institutions. He highlights a dangerous mismatch between the available reserves and the sheer volume of overnight lending, a situation that could trigger a sudden spike in interest rates at month-end.

Even more concerning is the behavior of the yield curve. Typically, long-term interest rates fall when the Fed cuts short-term rates. However, we’re seeing long-term rates rising despite Fed cuts – a classic, ominous recession indicator. This, combined with governments’ propensity to print more money to fight economic downturns, could lead to a “crackup boom”: an uncontrolled inflationary spiral where the currency loses value at an accelerating pace.

But the challenges aren’t confined to the U.S. borders. The discussion shifts to China, where a collapsing real estate market poses a systemic risk with global ramifications. Farber argues that much of China’s perceived wealth is illusory, built on inflated asset prices and government controls that prevent capital from truly flowing freely.

 If China’s banking system, heavily invested in this faltering real estate, were to buckle, the shockwaves would undoubtedly spread across the globe due to intricate trade and financial linkages.

The U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency has long been a source of strength, allowing the U.S. to “export” inflation and delay domestic price rises. However, Farber warns of a dramatic reversal: the eventual return of these exported dollars back into the U.S., which could trigger a sudden and severe inflationary shock at home.

Ultimately, Farber underlines the fundamental flaw of our current system: without sound money backing – like gold – debt cannot truly be extinguished; it can only be rolled over. This perpetuates a fragile, Ponzi-like system where trust in the currency is paramount.

Rafi explains why physical gold and silver remain essential in the unfolding monetary reset, while mining stocks can serve as long-term capital plays.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Palestine Applies for BRICS Membership Amid Shifting Global Alliances

The bid underscores both Palestine’s search for economic security and BRICS’ growing role as a counterweight to U.S. dollar dominance.

Palestine Submits Formal Application
Palestine has officially applied to join the BRICS alliance, confirmed by Palestinian Ambassador to Russia Abdel Hafiz Nofal. However, no response has yet been received.

Nofal explained that Palestine may initially participate as a guest nation until conditions are favorable for full membership. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas emphasized plans to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the upcoming Russian-Arab summit in Moscow on October 15, where BRICS membership is likely to be discussed.

BRICS Expansion Momentum
Palestine is now the 47th country to apply for BRICS membership.

• 23 nations have formally submitted applications.

• 24 others have expressed informal interest.

This wave of applications reflects BRICS’ rising influence as emerging economies seek alternatives to Western-dominated systems. The bloc has positioned itself as the only global alliance openly challenging the U.S. dollar’s reign in trade and reserves.

Why Palestine Seeks BRICS Alignment
For Palestine, BRICS represents:

• Economic survival: Tensions with Israel have heavily weakened its economy.

• Global visibility: Membership would offer leverage within a coalition of developing economies.

• Monetary independence: Participation in BRICS-led alternatives could shield Palestine from reliance on Western-controlled financial systems.

As Palestinian officials noted, without partnerships with other economies, the State’s finances risk suffocation.

Geopolitical Implications
Palestine’s application is not just symbolic. It reflects how geopolitical fractures are pushing even smaller states to seek refuge within blocs like BRICS. By positioning itself with Russia, China, and India, Palestine signals alignment with powers reshaping trade flows, energy security, and monetary systems.

If Palestine were to join, it would bring Middle Eastern political dynamics directly into BRICS’ orbit — creating new tensions with the U.S. and Israel.

Why This Matters
Palestine’s BRICS bid highlights how the bloc is evolving into a magnet for nations marginalized by the Western-led order. For smaller economies under pressure, BRICS offers not only diplomatic backing but also the chance to participate in de-dollarization strategies — gradually moving trade and finance away from dependence on the U.S. dollar.

That is why this development is about more than regional politics: it ties into the global restructuring of finance, trade, and power itself.

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