BRICS Launches New Payment System in 185 Countries

BRICS Launches New Payment System in 185 Countries

Cyrus Janssen:  11-17-2025

If you blinked, you might have missed it. While Western headlines were dominated by the usual political theater and market fluctuations, a seismic shift in the global financial architecture quietly took place in 2025.

The BRICS alliance, in a move that analysts will likely point to as a historic turning point, launched a new payment system with a staggering reach: 185 countries.

The goal? To facilitate international trade using the Chinese renminbi (RMB), effectively bypassing the US dollar.

This isn’t just a minor policy adjustment; it’s a direct challenge to the decades-long dominance of the US dollar as the world’s primary reserve currency.

And while it was largely underreported in Western media, its echoes are being felt profoundly across the globe, particularly in the emerging economies of the Global South.

From the bustling ports of Southeast Asia to the resource-rich nations of Africa and Latin America, a quiet financial revolution is underway. Countries are increasingly looking to China’s currency and its financial infrastructure as a viable alternative to the dollar-dominated system.

This trend signifies a profound loss of confidence in the Western-led financial order and a pragmatic pivot towards China’s economic sphere of influence.

China’s financial influence is no longer confined to emerging markets. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) recently upgraded its free trade agreement with China, strengthening economic bonds despite concerted efforts from the US to project power in the region.

The trust in the RMB is also being validated in capital markets. When Indonesia issued “dim sum bonds” (RMB-denominated bonds sold offshore), they were met with overwhelming investor demand—a clear signal of market confidence.

Underpinning all of this is the technological backbone: China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS).

This system has grown exponentially, now weaving a vast financial web that connects thousands of banks across those 185 countries, processing trillions of RMB every single quarter.

The symbolism of recent events is impossible to ignore. The BRICS group recently facilitated its first-ever RMB-based loan between China and South Africa, explicitly targeting development projects across Africa. This move solidifies China’s role as the financial anchor and preferred partner for the Global South.

Even advanced economies are taking note. South Korea, a key US ally, is actively deepening its currency swap agreements with China to make trade smoother and less dependent on the dollar.

Analysts now predict a near-inevitable conclusion: the Chinese renminbi is on a fast track to become the second most used currency in global trade finance. The world isn’t de-dollarizing overnight, but it is undoubtedly, and rapidly, multi-polarizing.

This monumental geopolitical shift has direct consequences for investors. As nations realign their trade and financial alliances, the focus turns to securing the critical resources that power modern economies.

In the latter part of his detailed analysis, investor Cyrus Janssen highlights a key sector poised to benefit from this new paradigm: copper. As countries everywhere seek to onshore supply chains and secure access to critical minerals essential for energy transition and technology, copper becomes as strategically important as oil once was.

This focus on resource security spotlights companies like Vizsla Copper, which is focused on exploring and developing high-grade copper assets in safe, mining-friendly jurisdictions like Alaska. With a significant resource, strong infrastructure, government backing, and an experienced leadership team, companies that can provide North American copper are becoming increasingly valuable strategic assets.

In a world reorganizing itself around new financial and energy realities, understanding these geopolitical currents is no longer optional for the savvy investor—it’s essential.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

The Quiet Breakaway — Nations Build New Financial Plumbing

Countries accelerate development of non-Western payment networks as global tensions rise.

Overview

• Countries are rapidly moving toward alternative financial rails, reducing their exposure to sanctions and geopolitically vulnerable systems.

• Cross-border CBDCs and regional clearing systems are expanding as nations explore ways to bypass traditional chokepoints.

• A global trend toward financial fragmentation is now visibly reshaping the next generation of monetary infrastructure.

Key Developments

• Strategic research highlights a structural decline in reliance on legacy networks, including SWIFT and Western-dominated clearing mechanisms.

• Economic blocs in Asia, the Middle East, and Africa are testing shared digital settlement platforms and multi-currency corridors.

• Governments aim to protect financial sovereignty, citing risks from sanctions, capital controls, and geopolitical weaponization of finance.

Why It Matters
These parallel systems could erode the dominance of existing global financial infrastructure, creating a more multipolar landscape with new rules, new standards, and new centers of gravity.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 4: Payments & Monetary Infrastructure — The rise of multi-network settlement systems shifts global power away from single-system dependency.

• Pillar 2: Monetary Realignment — Alternative rails support diversification away from reserve-currency monopolies.

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

 The IMF’s Warning Shot — ‘Restructure Now Before the Crisis Hits’

IMF leadership pushes governments to fix balance sheets and rebalance economies before shocks arrive.

Overview

• IMF Director Kristalina Georgieva warned nations to restructure debt proactively, not reactively — a sharp break from legacy guidance.

• Global imbalances in savings, investment, and current accounts are becoming more dangerous as geopolitical tensions rise.

• Technological disruption and political fragmentation are forcing governments to rethink long-held economic assumptions.

Key Developments

• The IMF is preparing a global restructuring “playbook” to guide nations through debt resolution and fiscal rebalancing.

• Countries were urged to reform their financial sectors, strengthen competition policy, and modernize capital markets as part of long-term resilience planning.

• Coordinated multilateral action was emphasized, highlighting that isolated national responses may amplify systemic risks.

Why It Matters
This marks a philosophical shift at the IMF — from crisis response to pre-crisis restructuring. If widely adopted, it could fundamentally alter the way global debt cycles unfold.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 3: Financial Governance — Reforms aimed at preventing crises may reshape the architecture of global financial oversight.

• Pillar 1: Sovereign Debt Realignment — Proactive restructuring could rewrite norms around national solvency and IMF intervention.

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

The Fractured Future — WEF Warns of a World Splitting Into Economic Blocs

New data shows businesses and policymakers preparing for long-term global fragmentation.

Overview

• The World Economic Forum warns that global growth is being constrained by fragmentation, political tension, and elevated debt loads.

• Supply chains are being rebuilt regionally, with the vast majority of companies preparing to shift sourcing and markets.

• Policymakers face rising uncertainty, challenging traditional trade and financial assumptions.

Key Developments

• A majority of CEOs plan to restructure supply chains, refocusing on resilience and geopolitical safety.

• Emerging markets face the steepest headwinds, with geopolitical risk undermining development potential.

• Institutions are pressing for macro-policy reforms, including improved current-account balance and competitive markets.

Why It Matters
Fragmentation is no longer theoretical — it is actively reshaping trade, investment, and governance, potentially accelerating a shift toward a multipolar global economic structure.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 5: Global Economic Order — Fragmentation forces new patterns of trade and economic alignment, reshaping global influence.

• Pillar 2: Monetary Realignment — As trade blocs form, currency alliances and reserve strategies may also shift.

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

“Tidbits From TNT” Tuesday 11-18-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Talabani calls for expediting the enactment of the oil and gas law.

On Monday in Erbil, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Qubad Talabani, received a delegation from the US-Kurdistan Trade Council, headed by its president, David Tvorey. The two sides discussed a number of issues of common interest.

During the meeting, discussions focused on the mechanism for developing trade relations between the United States and the Kurdistan Region.

With reference to the economic development process in the region, Qubad Talabani emphasized that “the Kurdistan Region desires that American companies have a larger and more influential role in this process, and expressed the readiness of the regional government to provide all forms of support and facilities in this regard.”

Another focus of the meeting was the oil and gas file, and the Deputy Prime Minister explained, “We are in favor of quickly passing the oil and gas law during the new session of the Iraqi Parliament, which will contribute to resolving the disputes between the region and Baghdad in accordance with the constitution and powers, and in a way that takes into account the special status of the Kurdistan Region.”

Talabani also stressed that “our priority is that the gas wealth should be used to serve the citizens and develop the industrial and economic infrastructure of the Kurdistan Region.” link

************

Tishwash:  UN representative in Iraq: "The 'new Middle East' can only be shaped by its own people."

The Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Iraq, Mohammed al-Hassan, affirmed on Tuesday that the "new Middle East" can only be shaped by its own people, while also indicating the UN's readiness to provide all forms of assistance to Iraq.

Speaking at the Sixth Middle East Peace and Security Forum in Dohuk Governorate, al-Hassan stated, as reported by Al-Ghad Press, that "Iraq's journey towards sustainable development has begun, and the new Middle East can only be shaped by its own people."

He added that "the peoples of the Middle East are weary of wars, after more than 400 years of conflicts, crises, and occupation," calling for "easing the burden on the region's peoples, especially since the Middle East and Iraq are the cradle of civilizations, and it is time for them to shine with civilization as they once did."

He continued, "Moving towards a better future requires wise leadership working for the common good, as the Iraqi people are a creative people," explaining that "the next and true battle is not political, but rather an arena of intellectual and scientific excellence, and Iraq has already begun laying the foundations for such projects."

Al-Hassan stressed "the need to focus on politics and the knowledge economy," emphasizing that "the United Nations is ready to provide all forms of assistance to Iraq."   link

************

Tishwash:  The first crisis after the government transitioned to a caretaker role falls on the shoulders of the citizens: Iraq is without cash.

 The recent decision by the Federal Court, which definitively ended the parliamentary term and designated the current government as a caretaker administration, has profoundly altered the state's ability to manage its finances.

According to the constitution, a caretaker government is barred from any powers related to domestic or foreign borrowing, entering into major contracts, or authorizing investment spending. This has placed Iraq in a highly sensitive financial predicament at a time of political instability.

This decision did not come about naturally, but rather coincided with a government vacuum expected to last for many months due to negotiations to form a new government. With the end of the fiscal year approaching and the 2025 budget still unapproved, the government's ability to use any exceptional financial tools to address the deficit has been frozen, while operational spending continues to balloon without any legal basis for funding.

Thus, the way was opened for warnings from experts, foremost among them Nabil Al-Marsoumi, who believes that preventing borrowing under a caretaker government practically means that Iraq is entering a danger zone, with the possibility of the “first financial catastrophe” occurring if an urgent legal solution is not found or political understandings are not accelerated to form a new government with full powers.

According to economists , this situation is unprecedented since 2003, as Iraq has never before faced such a severe financial constraint while burdened with enormous financial obligations, including salaries, social protection, food subsidies, energy costs, and project loans. With no fully empowered government, the Ministry of Finance is operating within a limited scope, allowing it only the necessary expenditures to keep government services running, leaving it with no room for maneuver.

This restriction directly clashed with the results of recent years, as the operating budget expanded to record levels, the number of employees and contractors ballooned, and the payroll bill rose to more than 70 trillion dinars annually, while non-oil revenues remained at modest limits not exceeding 9 trillion dinars.

The court's decision coincided with a significant decline in foreign currency reserves due to the gap between the central bank's purchases of hard currency for the Ministry of Finance and its sales through the dollar window to meet commercial demand. This decline further limited the state's ability to use reserves as a temporary financing alternative at a time when year-end obligations are mounting.

The most alarming aspect is that this fiscal constraint is occurring at a time when the country is experiencing a slowdown in overall economic performance, rising multidimensional poverty rates, and declining service levels, along with signs of expanding unemployment and weakening productivity. According to observers, this makes any unfunded fiscal deficit a multiplier of the social crisis.  link

Mon. 17 Nov. 2025 TIER 1 DETONATED – THE GLOBAL RESET IS NOW IN MOTION …Gitmo TV

Tier 1 is no longer a rumor. It is confirmed. The first and most powerful layer of the global currency reset has been (allegedly) executed in silence as sovereign nations, central banks, and high-level monetary entities  (allegedly) locked their rates and completed their redemptions behind closed doors. Nothing about this stage was public.

Nothing was speculative. It was the ignition key of the entire reset, and now that it has fired, the rest of the architecture begins to move.

Once Tier 1 locks in, the world shifts. This stage establishes the baseline rates that every tier above it must follow.

 These numbers are not predictions or projections. They are fixed benchmarks coded directly into the system. With the foundation secured, Tier 2 humanitarian structures begin aligning for release, Tier 3 high-net-worth pools move into position, and major banks quietly rebalance their ledgers to prepare for the next waves of liquidity.

The entire design is deliberate. Liquidity rises in controlled stages, preventing market shock while allowing global revaluation to unfold with precision.

And while the surface appears calm, the internal machinery is already active: compliance units recalibrating protocols, international channels tightening security, and institutional platforms updating in real time.

This is the quiet phase of a much larger event.

Next comes the most anticipated stage – Tier 4B. The moment when private holders, individuals who have waited for years, finally step into the process.

 Iraq, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe signaling greenlight wasn’t random. It was the final confirmation that the sequence has begun, and that Tier 1 completion has triggered everything that follows.

The reset isn’t approaching. It has already started.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Gaza’s Turning Point — UN Endorses Trump’s Peace Blueprint as Netanyahu Pushes Back

Unexpected UN alignment with Washington’s proposal reshapes the diplomatic battlefield.

Overview

• UN officials signal formal support for major elements of Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza stabilization plan.

• Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects key points, arguing they endanger Israel’s long-term security.

• Arab mediators cautiously welcome the framework, calling it the first viable multi-power roadmap in months.

Key Developments

• UN envoys endorsed a phased demilitarization model, describing it as “the only scalable path to sustained calm.”

• Netanyahu publicly rebuked the proposal, stating it limits Israel’s operational freedom and weakens deterrence.

• Washington reportedly secured preliminary backing from Egypt, Jordan, and Gulf partners for reconstruction oversight.

• UN officials highlighted economic corridors, including proposed U.S.–Arab reconstruction funds tied to governance reforms.

Why It Matters

This marks one of the most significant diplomatic shifts since the start of the conflict. UN backing lends global legitimacy to a U.S.-driven framework, while Israel’s resistance exposes deep fractures over who controls Gaza’s future governance. The competing visions now emerging are reshaping alliances, negotiating leverage, and long-term regional architecture.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 5 — Diplomacy & Peace Architecture

• UN support strengthens a multipolar peace framework no longer dominated by a single regional actor.

Pillar 2 — Sovereignty & Governance Realignment

• Israel’s pushback underscores a global struggle to determine who defines post-conflict governance norms — states, alliances, or international bodies.

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

The Coming Global Debt Shake-Up — UN Signals a New Financial Era

UN and IMF leaders warn that the world’s sovereign debt system is reaching a breaking point.

Overview

• Global debt leaders issued urgent calls for restructuring, arguing the current system is no longer sustainable for many developing nations.

• The UN’s Economic and Social Council highlighted over $1.4 trillion in annual interest costs, preventing vulnerable nations from funding essential services.

• Reformers pushed for a modernized debt architecture, emphasizing transparency, coordinated restructuring, and deeper multilateral cooperation.

Key Developments

• Developing economies demanded faster and more equitable restructuring tools, saying slow and fragmented processes worsen crises.

• IMF and World Bank leaders were pressed to expand their roles, with many nations calling for a more inclusive and representative governance structure.

• Civil society groups joined finance ministers in insisting that debt relief, climate funding, and development support must be integrated into a unified global framework.

Why It Matters
The debate is shifting from temporary relief to structural redesign. If global debt rules are rewritten, the balance of financial power — and the governance of capital flows — could be permanently altered.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Sovereign Debt Realignment — Momentum builds toward a more transparent, predictable restructuring mechanism, reducing the dominance of creditor-driven processes.

• Pillar 3: Financial Governance — Pressure for inclusive decision-making is accelerating reforms that could redefine how international financial institutions operate.

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

Elon Musk Warns ‘The Only Way to Get Us Out of the Debt Crisis’ and ‘Prevent America from Going Bankrupt is AI and Robotics’

Elon Musk Warns ‘The Only Way to Get Us Out of the Debt Crisis’ and ‘Prevent America from Going Bankrupt is AI and Robotics’

Caleb Naysmith   Mon, November 17, 2025  Barchart

In a wide-ranging conversation on the Joe Rogan Experience, Tesla (TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk offered a characteristically direct assessment of the United States’ fiscal trajectory. Known for speaking bluntly about technology, governance, and long-term societal risks, Musk framed the national debt not merely as a political challenge, but as a structural threat to the country’s economic future. His remarks reflect longstanding concerns he has raised about government inefficiency, declining industrial productivity, and the need for technological acceleration to maintain global competitiveness.

During the discussion, Musk argued that “the only way to get us out of the debt crisis and prevent America from going bankrupt is AI and robotics,” a conclusion he reached after observing what he described as unsustainable growth in federal obligations. He noted that interest payments on the national debt now exceed major federal expenditures, including the military budget — a comparison he called a personal “wake-up call.”

According to Musk, traditional political tools are insufficient: “You can make it directionally better, but ultimately you can’t fully fix the system… there’s no way to solve the debt crisis” without economic expansion at a scale only advanced automation could provide.

Musk’s perspective is rooted in decades of engagement with capital-intensive industries — spaceflight, automotive manufacturing, and energy infrastructure — where advances in automation have been central to efficiency and cost reduction. Tesla’s use of robotics in high-volume manufacturing and SpaceX’s reliance on automated systems in rocket reusability mirror his belief that technology can compensate for structural inefficiencies. His argument that democratic systems are limited in their ability to impose deep, unpopular cuts is consistent with his prior critiques of bureaucratic inertia and his advocacy for innovation-led solutions over policy-driven austerity.

After 230 Years, The U.S. Penny Is Retired

After 230 Years, The U.S. Penny Is Retired—What To Do With The Ones You Still Have

Before you empty that change purse, here’s what shoppers should know.

Alexandra Emanuelli   Mon, November 17, 2025

As Dolly Parton once sang, “If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold, I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold.” These days, though, even Dolly’s pockets would be a little lighter. As of November 12, the U.S. Mint pressed its final circulating penny. The move comes after President Trump instructed the Treasury Department to halt production because the coin now costs more to make than it’s worth.

So what happens to the smallest form of currency when it suddenly disappears? Will your old change jars become tiny treasure chests? Probably not, according to coin expert Charmy Harker, who noted that our northern neighbor stopped minting pennies back in 2012 and most Canadians barely noticed. In an increasingly cashless society, the loss of the penny has more practical implications for shoppers than sentimental ones.

Are Retailers Changing Prices?

It probably won’t surprise you that there hasn’t been a single, unified response from retailers. Some national brands with strong Southern footprints—including Georgia-based Auntie Anne’s, Cinnabon, Jamba, and Carvel—have already announced they’ll round prices to the nearest nickel when customers pay with cash. Other stores are choosing a different approach and are simply asking shoppers to provide exact change.

The good news is that shoppers won’t suddenly be stuck with unusable coins. “Yes retailers will still be accepting pennies (except those that no longer accept cash for any purchases), and I believe they will be accepting pennies for a while, most likely until pennies that are currently in circulation become too scarce,” says Harker. Most major retailers have confirmed they’ll continue to take pennies at checkout, so the coin’s retirement won’t cause immediate chaos.

For anyone paying with a credit or debit card, nothing changes. Digital transactions will continue to ring up to the exact cent, and you won’t notice any difference.

What Should You Do With Your Pennies?

Even though the U.S. Mint has stopped producing new pennies, the ones already in your home, car, or junk drawer are still very much real money. Stores, banks, and most coin-counting machines will continue accepting them, so there’s no rush to dump out your change jar.

As Harker explains, “Pennies aren’t being recalled so they will still be in circulation for quite some time, and whether stores and/or banks need pennies will depend on how soon stores start rounding sales to the nickel.”

In practical terms, pennies won’t vanish overnight. Instead, they’ll slowly fade out of circulation as they get lost, damaged, or turned in for deposits. With no new pennies being minted to replace them, the national supply will naturally shrink until the coin becomes more of a rarity than a regular part of your wallet.

So what should you actually do with the ones you have?

China’s Unreported Gold Purchases Could Be 10× Its Official Total, According to the Financial Times.

Dr. Judy Shelton recently told me something that the world should play close attention too.

China, the world’s largest producer and consumer of gold, is almost certainly not being transparent about how much it really holds.

Through the Shanghai Gold Exchange, Beijing has quietly built the infrastructure to merge gold and the yuan — setting the stage for settlement through digital instruments or stablecoins.

She warned that China may soon propose a new international monetary system anchored to gold… a move that could redefine global finance.

Overview

• Academics warn that CBDCs could increase bank-run risk without structural safeguards.

• A hybrid model — CBDCs plus regulated stablecoins — is gaining support.

• Nations are accelerating research into digital monetary sovereignty.

Key Developments

• New models propose embedding stablecoins into central bank settlement systems.

• Political narratives around “digital dollar resets” are being challenged by policy experts.

• Research shows digital currencies must include strict limits to avoid systemic stress.

Why It Matters
Digital currencies are no longer speculative: they are now central to the next-phase monetary system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Digital Monetary Architecture — Expect dual-layer systems combining central bank authority with programmable digital assets.

• Pillar: Sovereign Digital Currency — Countries may adopt digital money to control cross-border flows more precisely.

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

• Parliamentary Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said digital currency settlement is no longer optional, emphasizing the need for foreign investment in Iran’s crypto ecosystem.

• Iran’s government pledged to collaborate with universities, researchers, and technology firms to expand blockchain infrastructure.

• Industry leaders criticized regulatory gaps, warning that outdated rules undermine Iran’s ability to use crypto to bypass sanctions.

• Iran’s central bank continues to restrict Rial-to-crypto conversions on local platforms, complicating BRICS crypto settlement plans.

• Business leaders stressed that sanctions blocking Iran from SWIFT make blockchain indispensable, yet regulatory clarity is still lacking.

Why It Matters
Iran is openly positioning digital assets as a survival mechanism. With Western sanctions tightening and access to traditional payment channels blocked, cryptocurrencies are becoming Tehran’s primary pathway for international trade.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Currency & Trade Integration — BRICS-led digital settlement is accelerating as sanctioned nations seek non-dollar channels.

• Pillar: Digital Monetary Architecture — Iran’s rapid blockchain adoption may push BRICS toward a unified cross-border crypto settlement system.

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

Clare:  "At the last minute": A legal comment on calls for "extraordinary sessions"

11/17/2025

On Monday, legal and constitutional expert Salem Hawas commented on calls to hold extraordinary sessions of the Iraqi parliament days before its constitutional term ends.

Hawas told Shafaq News Agency that "the calls made in the last days of the parliamentary term to hold emergency or extraordinary sessions do not change the deteriorating legislative reality over the past four years, and the lost time cannot be suddenly remedied a few weeks before the end of the parliament's term."

He explained that “the Iraqi Constitution, in Article (58/First), allows the Speaker of Parliament or fifty members of parliament to call for an extraordinary session dedicated to a specific topic. However, this text should not be used as a cover to pass laws that have been stalled for four years, and then to suggest that Parliament is fulfilling its duties at the last minute.”

He added that "real legislative work is measured by adherence to constitutional deadlines and the principle of legislative continuity, not by intensifying sessions in a few weeks to complete what has accumulated in shortcomings. The laws that have been discussed since the first day of the parliamentary session have not seen the light, despite their importance and sensitivity, including laws on compensating victims, the Popular Mobilization Forces, drugs, the various amendments to the service and salary scale, minors, civil defense, and others."

He added that “intensifying the calls now does not absolve the House of Representatives of its political and constitutional responsibility for the delay, nor does it grant full legitimacy to pass complex legislation without sufficient discussions or technical consultations. The House of Representatives must exercise its legislative and oversight role fully and regularly throughout the years of the session, not just in its final weeks.”

The legal and constitutional expert concluded by saying that "the constitution does not recognize the term 'wasted time,' but it does recognize the principle of the proper functioning of public facilities, which has not been achieved in legislative performance during the past years. Extraordinary sessions are a constitutional right, but they are not a substitute for a genuine commitment to legislative duty, and they should not turn into a cosmetic attempt in the last days of the parliament's term."

Earlier today, Mohammed al-Khafaji, a member of the legal committee in the Iraqi parliament, called on the Speaker of Parliament to hold extraordinary sessions to finalize some important laws before the end of the current parliamentary session.  LINK

Tishwash:  KRG Prime Minister Welcomes USKBC Delegation as Kurdistan Deepens Business Ties with American Investors

Meeting highlights investment reforms, sectoral opportunities, and the Kurdistan Region’s expanding role as a secure hub for U.S. capital.

Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Sunday received a delegation from the U.S.-Kurdistan Business Council (USKBC), led by its President David Tafuri, as the autonomous region continues to position itself as one of the Middle East’s most open and secure environments for American and diaspora investment.

The meeting was held as the Kurdistan Region deepens economic engagement with U.S. companies, driven in part by its foreign-investor-friendly legal framework and an expanding strategy to attract diaspora capital—especially from Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac communities seeking to rebuild commercial and cultural links with their ancestral homeland.

At the start of the meeting, Tafuri congratulated Prime Minister Barzani on the outcome of Iraq’s recent parliamentary elections and outlined the purpose of the delegation’s visit, stressing the Council’s commitment to expanding American commercial partnerships across the Kurdistan Region.

He also briefed KRG officials on the composition of the visiting delegation, which includes U.S. business leaders, legal experts, and investors exploring opportunities in key economic sectors.

Prime Minister Barzani provided an overview of recent political developments in both the Kurdistan Region and Iraq, underscoring the KRG’s institutional reforms and improved governance under the ninth cabinet.

He highlighted major advancements in the energy sector—particularly natural gas development—as well as ongoing measures to modernize the region’s economic infrastructure and regulatory environment.

Barzani reiterated the government’s strong commitment to enabling and expanding the presence of American companies in the Kurdistan Region.

The visit follows a larger U.S. and Assyrian-American economic outreach effort to the Kurdistan Region, where diaspora entrepreneurs have been examining long-term opportunities supported by Investment Law No. 4 of 2006.

The law allows 100 percent foreign ownership, long-term land use rights, significant tax exemptions, and full repatriation of profits—legal advantages unmatched elsewhere in Iraq, where federal regulations require majority local ownership.

These policies have created renewed momentum for Assyrian diaspora investment, as communities seek sustainable ways to preserve their heritage while fostering economic resilience in historic areas like Ankawa, Alqosh, Amedi, and the broader Nineveh Plains.

During recent meetings with senior KRG officials, including PM Barzani and Board of Investment Chairman Mohammad Shukri, U.S.-based Assyrian investors discussed a range of potential ventures in education, healthcare, agriculture, tourism, and cultural preservation.

On Saturday evening, Board of Investment spokesperson Bargasht Akrayee confirmed that Tafuri’s delegation would meet with top KRG officials, investors, and business leaders across the region to explore joint projects. The USKBC—an influential Washington-based organization—has long played a key role in promoting U.S.-Kurdistan economic ties, frequently organizing visits for American businesses seeking to enter the Kurdish market.

The Kurdistan Region’s comparative stability, legal predictability, and investor-friendly climate have gained growing attention among U.S. business circles. For diaspora groups—particularly Assyrians—the region offers a rare opportunity to build commercial ventures with full ownership, legal protections under international arbitration standards, and a political environment supportive of minority rights.

“This is a historic moment for Assyrians who wish to invest in their homeland,” said Alexander Karana, an American attorney who accompanied the recent delegation, in an analysis published by Global Strat View.

Karana emphasized that the Kurdistan Region’s investment laws allow diaspora communities to participate in economic growth “with dignity, security, and purpose,” reinforcing both cultural identity and long-term communal stability.

As Prime Minister Barzani continues to encourage foreign and diaspora investment, the meeting with the USKBC delegation signals a broader KRG strategy: leveraging international partnerships, nurturing minority-led economic initiatives, and transforming the Kurdistan Region into a regional hub for sustainable, diversified, and globally connected development.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

The Liquidity Crunch Nobody Sees Coming
IMF warnings reveal cracks beneath the global FX system.

Overview

• IMF analysts warn that liquidity risks in the $9.6 trillion daily FX market are deeper than regulators acknowledge.

• Growth forecasts are weakening, increasing stress on banks, credit markets, and non-bank institutions.

• Global liquidity backstops, especially U.S. swap lines, may not be sufficient for a major systemic event.

Key Developments

• Regulators are being urged to upgrade stress tests to reflect real-time FX vulnerabilities.

• Central banks are evaluating whether current swap-line systems need restructuring.

• Non-bank financial firms show rising leverage, particularly in derivatives markets.

Why It Matters
Stress in FX markets can cascade through the entire global system. A liquidity shock would impact trade, credit markets, and sovereign financing.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Finance Reform — A redesigned global liquidity framework may emerge.

• Pillar: Systemic Resilience — Expect stronger global oversight of currency risk and cross-border leverage.

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

The Quiet Revolt Against Dollar Power
Central banks explore alternatives as geopolitical fragmentation expands.

Overview

• Countries are questioning the long-term reliability of U.S. dollar swap lines.

• Emerging blocs like BRICS-Plus are designing settlement systems outside Western frameworks.

• Economic fragmentation is rising, and global institutions are sounding alarms.

Key Developments

• Several central banks are evaluating new regional liquidity agreements.

• Settlements in non-dollar assets are increasing, especially for energy and commodities.

• Policymakers warn that geopolitical tension could trigger instability in international bond markets.

Why It Matters
When nations pursue independent, non-dollar financial plumbing, the balance of global power shifts. The world is moving from a unipolar monetary system to a multipolar one.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Geopolitical Realignment — Expect deeper integration among regional blocs.

• Pillar: Monetary Sovereignty — Nations may accelerate efforts to reduce dollar reliance.

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

Markets Look Calm — But the System Is Shaking
Hidden leverage and AI-driven trading spark warnings about systemic fragility.

Overview

• Global institutions warn that asset prices may be inflated relative to underlying fundamentals.

• High-risk exposure is concentrated in non-bank financial institutions with limited oversight.

• Growth downgrades and rate uncertainty are exposing vulnerabilities.

Key Developments

• AI-driven trading systems may trigger flash events not captured by current reporting frameworks.

• Derivatives leverage appears increasingly opaque.

• Debt levels remain elevated across sovereign, corporate, and consumer markets.

Why It Matters
A sudden liquidity event or geopolitical shock could generate rapid contagion. Markets are more interconnected — and more fragile — than most investors realize.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Risk Redistribution — Expect reforms in derivatives, leverage caps, and non-bank oversight.

• Pillar: Market Transparency — New global reporting frameworks for AI-driven systems may emerge.

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

Gold Returns to the Throne
Central banks accelerate accumulation as trust in fiat weakens.

Overview

• Central bank gold purchases are rising at the fastest pace in modern history.

• Gold is reemerging as a core pillar of sovereign reserve strategy.

Key Developments

• Multiple countries have increased strategic gold reserves this year.

• Commodity-backed settlement networks are being tested between Eurasian partners.

• A global narrative shift is underway: gold as collateral, not speculation.

Why It Matters
Gold is being positioned as the neutral reserve asset in a world of political fragmentation and fiat volatility.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Asset-Backed Currency — Expect hybrid systems tying currency to physical reserves.

• Pillar: Reserve Realignment — Gold’s rising share may diminish reliance on U.S. debt instruments.

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

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Sunday Evening 11-16-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

From Policy to Power: BRICS Diplomacy Driving the 2025 Reset

Diplomacy and peace initiatives are now central levers in the Global Reset, reshaping both governance and financial architecture.

Part I — Q1 & Q2 2025: Institutional Shift & Governance Reform

Diplomacy crosses into financial architecture.

Overview

• In H1 2025, BRICS consolidated its push for governance reform, calling for deep changes in IMF representation and voting power.

• Finance ministers united on a quota‑realignment proposal and emphasized local-currency settlement systems.

Key Developments

• BRICS finance ministers issued a joint statement promoting IMF quota reforms to boost the voice of developing economies. 

• Proposal includes formula based on GDP and PPP to reflect real economic weight. 

• Commitments to cross-border local-currency payment platforms signal early infrastructure planning. 

Why It Matters
This early-year push lays the foundation for a multipolar order less dependent on Western dominance.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Institutional Reformation: Shift in global governance in favor of emerging powers.

• Pillar 2 – Financial Sovereignty: Local currency trade strengthens autonomy.

• Pillar 3 – Strategic Economic Platforms: BRICS payment rails emerge.

Part II — Q2 & Q3 2025: Expansion & South‑South Cooperation

New members, broader ambition.

Overview

• BRICS expands, deepening its role as a voice for the Global South and strengthening cross-regional diplomacy.

• Calls for IMF reform gain leverage with new members, like Indonesia, boosting geopolitical and economic weight.

Key Developments

• Public backing for quota reforms in the 17th General Review of IMF quotas. 

• Expansion strengthens South-South alliances and regional trade cohesion. 

• Local-currency payment mechanisms are being operationalized. 

Why It Matters
BRICS is evolving from symbolic coalition to a governing force capable of reshaping global financial structures.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Institutional Reformation: Expanded membership strengthens credibility.

• Pillar 2 – Financial Sovereignty: Local currency systems operationalized.

• Pillar 3 – Diplomatic Infrastructure: Hub for political alignment beyond Western systems.

Part III — Q3 & Q4 2025: Tensions, Signaling & Future Pathways

From unity to friction — but with persistent ambition.

Overview

• Tensions emerge as members debate ambition vs. practical coordination.

• BRICS positions itself as a normative counterweight to Western-dominated financial and political institutions.

Key Developments

• Divergent views on reform implementation highlight internal challenges. 

• Calls for merit-based leadership at IMF and World Bank reflect push for equitable representation.

Why It Matters
BRICS’ ambition is clear, and even internal friction demonstrates the pressure building for global institutional change.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Institutional Reformation: Meritocratic leadership challenges old power structures.

• Pillar 2 – Financial Sovereignty: Local-currency networks expand.

• Pillar 3 – Diplomatic Infrastructure: Even with internal debate, BRICS forces global actors to recognize a new order.

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

BRICS Signs 70+ Cooperation Pacts as Global Dollar Dependence Declines  

International Forum Marks a Major Step in the Shift Toward a Multipolar Financial System

Overview

• BRICS nations and 75 participating countries signed more than 70 cooperation agreements across finance, digitalization, technology, and cultural exchange.

• Russia–China trade reached €104 billion, reinforcing the shift toward regional financial partnerships.

• The scale of participation signals growing global alignment outside the traditional Western-led system.

• Many of the pacts directly support expansion of local-currency trade and reduced reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Key Developments

• 75 nations joined the International Municipal BRICS Forum in St. Petersburg, marking one of the largest diplomatic events outside Western institutions.

• Local-currency settlement expansion was repeatedly emphasized by major participants, including Russia, China, India, and several Gulf and African nations.

• Agreements included digital infrastructure, urban development, smart-city technologies, and cross-border payment innovations.

• Officials described BRICS coordination as the foundation of a new rules-based system centered on sovereignty and economic balance, not dollar hegemony.

Why It Matters
The forum’s 70+ cooperation pacts show coordinated global movement toward financial self-sufficiency, shifting economic power away from a single dominant reserve currency and toward a distributed, multipolar model.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Finance & Currency Sovereignty
BRICS’ heavy emphasis on local-currency settlements accelerates the transition away from dollar-centric systems and expands alternative payment rails.

Pillar 2 — Trade & Digital Integration
Cross-border digital infrastructure commitments strengthen the backbone of the emerging global network that underpins non-USD trade.

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