Clare: Cardinal Sako: Iraqis are waiting for the birth of a new Iraq

12/11/2025

Cardinal Louis Raphael Sako stated that Iraq is a country of immense importance, not only because of its geographical location, its historical identity, its civilizations, and its wealth, but also because of the vitality of its people, their ethnic and religious diversity, and the radical thinking and creativity of its sons and daughters.

He added: After the fall of the previous regime in 2003, Iraqis aspired to a new, safe, stable, democratic, and sovereign Iraq, with a civil system that ensures equality for all citizens and places their interests above all other considerations.

 However, what transpired was a system of sectarian power-sharing and tribal sheikhdoms, which paved the way for the bitter experience of ISIS, legalized corruption, spread bribery, and established militias that, over time, became more powerful than the state, driving Iraqis, especially the elite, to emigrate!

In a message, Sako stated that today, after 22 years of experience and the recent parliamentary elections, as we prepare to welcome the new year of 2026, shouldn't we seriously revisit the essence of the change that occurred in 2003 and its objectives? This should be a courageous step towards correction and reconciliation.

 He emphasized that crises are not resolved by force, but rather by embracing contemporary culture—a more rational and realistic culture that prioritizes service, social, cultural, legal, and economic institutions, similar to those in developed countries—through dialogue, understanding, and the search for common ground.

He pointed to the importance of respecting the rule of law and implementing the concept of citizenship. Therefore, the current constitution should be amended to protect the rights and freedoms of all citizens as true and equal partners in the nation. He stressed the need to confine weapons to the state and make this a priority for the next government, as armed factions do not build a state. He also called for rejecting unilateralism, preoccupation with private interests, and the struggle for power and "representation." Finally, he emphasized the need for a strong and developed economy through concrete steps, serious monitoring of corruption, and the recovery of stolen funds for the state treasury.

He stressed that delaying the formation of the government does not serve the country, therefore it is imperative to expedite the formation of a new government that reflects the aspirations of the Iraqi people—a government that is sovereign and decisive, capable of restoring Iraq's well-being and prestige, a government that strives to implement justice, equality, and integrity, and to address failures and crises and provide services through actions, not promises.   LINK

Clare: Starting in 2026… the Ministry of Finance will suspend appointments, bonuses, and promotions pending the federal budget.

12/11/2024

The Iraqi Ministry of Finance issued an official directive to all ministries, non-ministerial entities, and governorates, stressing the strict adherence to the spending powers specified in the Federal General Budget Law for the year 2021, and preventing the creation of any new financial obligations outside the approved allocations.

The ministry stated in a document that the powers based on the provisions of Article (13/Second) of the Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019 confirm the necessity of adopting spending in accordance with the financial ceilings contained in the budget without exceeding them, noting that the allocations were confirmed according to national and international reports without any amendment to the operational or investment budget chapters.

The government directive included a number of restrictions, most notably:
• Prohibiting transfers between chapters and sections of the operational or investment budget.
• Banning new contracts outside of approved financial allocations.
• Prohibiting funding for investment projects not included in the 2021 budget.
• Requiring ministries to submit a detailed monthly report on actual spending and remaining allocations.

The ministry stressed that any government entity that enters into contracts or commits to funding outside of the allocated funds will bear full legal responsibility, in accordance with the applicable Financial Management and Public Budget Law.

According to experts, this tightening comes within the framework of the government's attempts to impose fiscal discipline and prevent inflation of expenditures, especially with the continued economic pressures facing the country.   LINK

Tariff Tensions Surge as China Warns Against Protectionism

Beijing pushes back on tariff escalation amid record trade surplus, deepening global trade friction risks

Overview

• China’s exports and trade surplus reached unprecedented levels in 2025.

• The nation’s leadership publicly challenged rising tariff pressures from the U.S. and EU.

• Global supply chains face heightened uncertainty due to intensifying trade disputes.

• Analysts warn that protectionist moves risk fragmentation of global commerce.

Key Developments

China reports record trade surplus
China’s trade surplus surpassed the $1 trillion mark in 2025, raising concerns among global partners about imbalanced trade and economic competitiveness.

Beijing pushes back on tariff rhetoric
China’s Premier urged trading partners to avoid protectionist tariffs, stressing the importance of stable global trade governance for sustainable economic growth.

Market and supply chain implications emerge
Investors and businesses are monitoring the fallout, as tariff tensions could disrupt manufacturing hubs, increase costs, and accelerate supply chain diversification toward alternative regions.

International bodies weigh in
The IMF urged China to rebalance toward domestic consumption, warning that continued export-dependence may intensify global trade tensions.

Why It Matters

Tariff escalation between China, the U.S., and Europe is becoming a structural driver of global economic fragmentation — altering supply chains, investment flows, and diplomatic alignment as the world reorganizes into competing trade blocs.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Fragmentation of Trade Networks
Reinforced tariff barriers speed the shift away from globalization toward regional, politically aligned supply chains.

Pillar 2: Realignment of Economic Power
China’s defense of its trade position highlights the accelerating multipolar restructuring of global economic governance.

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

U.S. Explores C5 Bloc Including BRICS Members

Trump administration considers creating an alternative to G7 with BRICS integration

Overview

• The U.S. is reportedly exploring a new alliance called C5 that could include BRICS founding members alongside the U.S. and Japan.

• C5 would stand for “Core 5” and aims to challenge the traditional G7 framework.

• Discussions signal potential closer U.S. engagement with BRICS countries, aligning with strategic economic and tech interests.

• The initiative remains conceptual and evolving, with no formal agreements finalized.

Key Developments

Concept of C5 emerges
The idea was floated by former President Trump to create a five-nation bloc including the U.S., China, Russia, India, and Japan, potentially as a G7 alternative.

Strategic and technological alignment
C5 could facilitate deals like the recent Nvidia AI H200 chip sale to China, which benefits U.S. firms while advancing China’s tech capabilities, reflecting the strategic dimensions of the initiative.

Political signaling
Trump’s statements emphasize that traditional institutions like the G7 or UN Security Council may no longer fit current global dynamics, highlighting the potential need for new multipolar forums.

Ongoing uncertainty
No formal discussions have confirmed the exact members or structure. Russian President Putin has indicated no intention to rejoin the G7, making the C5 concept largely exploratory.

Why It Matters

C5 discussions underscore the evolving geopolitical landscape where emerging powers (BRICS) and the U.S. may collaborate in new frameworks, challenging existing Western-led institutions and potentially reshaping international economic and diplomatic alignments.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Multipolar Alliance Development
Emerging alliances like C5 could redefine economic and strategic partnerships, creating alternative centers of influence outside traditional Western blocs.

Pillar 2: Technology and Trade Leverage
Closer U.S.–BRICS engagement in tech deals and resource access strengthens competitive leverage and influences global industrial dynamics.

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

U.S.-Backed Peace Deal Opens DRC Mineral Access Amid Ongoing Uncertainty

Trump-era diplomacy seeks strategic mineral access, but fighting and sanctions questions persist

Overview

• The U.S.-brokered peace agreement aimed to stabilize eastern DR Congo and provide preferential access for U.S. companies to strategic minerals like cobalt, copper, and tin.

• These minerals are critical for EVs, batteries, and tech supply chains, making access geopolitically significant.

• Despite the deal, rebels have resumed fighting, creating uncertainty around implementation.

• DRC officials suggest sanctions may be needed to salvage the agreement, underscoring risks to both stability and resource access.

Key Developments

Peace deal brokered by U.S. administration
The agreement intended to end hostilities between the Congolese government and armed rebel groups, particularly M23, while securing resource access for strategic industries.

Strategic minerals access
The deal specifically enables U.S. companies to obtain minerals essential for electric vehicles, battery technology, and high-tech manufacturing, positioning the U.S. for a strategic advantage in global supply chains.

Ongoing conflict threatens implementation
Despite the agreement, recent reports confirm rebels capturing territory and renewed clashes, raising questions about the deal’s durability and enforcement on the ground.

Sanctions discussed as a tool
The Congolese foreign minister has indicated that additional sanctions may be necessary to enforce compliance and restore credibility to the peace process, signaling that the agreement remains precarious. 

Why It Matters

Access to strategic minerals from DR Congo has global implications for technology supply chains, energy transition, and geopolitical leverage. Even partial implementation strengthens U.S. influence, while ongoing conflict introduces risk that could disrupt markets and delay resource availability.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Strategic Resource Realignment
Control over cobalt, copper, and tin enables the U.S. to secure critical supply chains independent of traditional competitors, reinforcing a shift in global industrial power.

Pillar 2: Conflict-Driven Market Volatility
Uncertainty around peace enforcement and rebel activity can impact commodity markets, supply contracts, and investor confidence, accelerating regional and global realignment in energy and tech sectors.

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

Inflation Tops Retirement Worries for Americans

Inflation Tops Retirement Worries for Americans, but Financial Advisors Disagree

Gabrielle Olya   Mon, December 8, 2025   GOBankingRates

Planning for retirement means preparing for risks that could derail your financial security — but Americans and financial advisors don’t agree on what those risks are. A new report from the Alliance for Lifetime Income reveals a surprising disconnect that may be putting long-term security in jeopardy.

According to average Americans and their advisors, here’s a look at the biggest retirement risks.

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

Why Americans Fear Inflation Most

According to the report, consumers’ No. 1 concern when it comes to retirement is inflation, with 63% seeing this as a retirement risk. However, advisors don’t list inflation as a top risk at all. Instead, they see the biggest retirement risks as outliving savings (56%) and market volatility (51%).

“Despite the obvious disconnect, both are right for different reasons,” said Cyrus Bamji, chief strategy and communications officer at the Alliance for Lifetime Income. “Consumers and advisors emphasize different risks because they feel, experience and understand them from different perspectives.”

Bamji noted that consumers feel inflation directly in their day-to-day lives and expenses, so to them, higher prices become the most immediate and tangible threat.

“It’s emotionally charged, and we’ve been living through it for almost four years now,” he said. “Unfortunately, research shows that most people underestimate how long they’ll live, which makes inflation feel like the dominant, immediate worry rather than a long-term planning issue.”

What Advisors See as the Real Retirement Risks

This will Bring Down the Entire Financial System

This will Bring Down the Entire Financial System

Daniela Cambone:  12-10-2025

The United States is on the brink of a deep economic crisis, far worse than what is publicly acknowledged. This is according to Mitch Vexler, a commercial real estate developer and president of Mockingbird Properties, in a recent interview with Daniela Cambone of ITM Trading.

Vexler’s warning is based on his identification of 50 critical issues that are currently plaguing the American economy, including a looming $2 trillion commercial real estate maturity wall, massive impaired bank loans, and fraudulent school district bonds.

At the heart of the crisis is the widespread use of property tax systems through manipulated appraisals and school district bonds.

Vexler describes these bonds as a “second mortgage” that strips homeowners’ equity, leaving them vulnerable to financial shocks. The situation is further exacerbated by exploding property taxes, which are pushing homeowners to the edge.

Vexler warns of a credit crisis and potential depression worse than the one experienced in 2007-2008, driven by systemic fraud and institutional failures.

He points to the recent actions of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who launched a probe into nearly 1,000 cities’ finances under transparency laws, as a potential starting point for exposing the fraud. However, Vexler emphasizes that this is not a solution in itself and that structural reform is needed to address the crisis.

One potential solution, according to Vexler, is to repeal property taxes in favor of uniform state sales taxes.

This would help restore fairness and transparency to the tax system, which is currently riddled with corruption. Vexler also critiques the Federal Reserve’s role in perpetuating economic instability and the loss of purchasing power of the U.S. dollar.

The crisis is not limited to the United States, with global economic concerns such as the BRICS countries piloting gold-backed currencies and central banks accumulating gold.

Vexler underscores that real money must be backed by tangible assets, warning against speculative cryptocurrencies. He also links these financial pressures to sociopolitical instability, including potential food shortages, farmer bankruptcies, and civil unrest in North America and Europe.

Despite the grim outlook, Vexler encourages citizens to become active at the local level, demanding transparency and accountability from school districts and officials to prevent further systemic collapse.

He calls for criminal accountability for those involved in fraud and urges a hybrid solution involving federal and state cooperation to address the $5.1 trillion school bond fraud crisis.

Ultimately, Vexler stresses that the economic future depends on whether society chooses to confront these systemic issues or continues down the path toward a greater depression or worse. As he so aptly puts it, the choice is ours.

To learn more about the looming economic crisis and Vexler’s insights, watch the full video interview with ITM Trading. The conversation provides a detailed analysis of the current economic situation and offers a warning about the potential consequences of inaction.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Crypto among sectors ‘debanked’ by 9 major banks: US regulator

OCC finds major banks restricted services to crypto and other politically contentious industries between 2020–2023; probe may be referred to DOJ.

Overview

• OCC preliminary finding: Nine largest U.S. banks placed restrictions or escalated review requirements on customers in certain lawful industries — including cryptocurrency — between 2020 and 2023.

• Scope of industries affected: Restrictions also targeted oil & gas exploration, coal mining, firearms, private prisons, tobacco/e-cigarette manufacturers, and adult entertainment.

• Possible enforcement referral: The OCC said its investigation is ongoing and could be referred to the U.S. Justice Department.

Key Developments

• Banks examined: The OCC reviewed JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Citibank, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, Capital One, PNC Bank, TD Bank and BMO.

• Crypto-specific actions: Banks restricted services to issuers, exchanges, or administrators — often citing financial crime concerns as the rationale.

• Regulator response and rhetoric: Comptroller Jonathan Gould criticized debanking as an improper use of bank charter and market power, while commentators (Cato Institute, industry leaders) argue the report omits regulatory guidance that influenced banks’ behavior.

• Political context: The review follows an executive order directing a probe into whether banks cut customers off for political or religious reasons.

Why It Matters
Banking access is a foundational plumbing of the global economy. If large banks systematically constrain lawful businesses for reputational or political reasons, that rewires capital flows, concentrates power in alternative providers, and accelerates structural shifts in how value is cleared and settled — a dynamic that can feed broader geopolitical and financial realignments.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Financial Decentralization: Continued restrictions by major banks push affected industries (notably crypto) toward alternative financial rails and smaller institutions, reducing reliance on incumbent Western banking infrastructure.

• Pillar — Regulatory-Driven Fragmentation: When supervisory guidance and bank risk-management intersect with politics, market access fragments along regulatory lines — increasing the appeal of non-traditional or jurisdictionally diversified financial networks.

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

Jakarta Claims World’s Largest Urban Title As Indonesia Joins BRICS

UN confirms Jakarta as the world’s largest urban area in 2025 just as Indonesia enters BRICS, reshaping regional and global economic dynamics.

Overview

• Jakarta surpasses Tokyo: UN reclassification places Jakarta at 42 million, making it the world’s largest urban area and elevating Southeast Asia’s demographic weight.

• BRICS timing boosts influence: Indonesia’s full BRICS membership aligns with its rising urban and economic profile, amplifying its strategic leverage.

• Digital economy surge: Jakarta’s rapid expansion reflects ASEAN’s tech-driven growth, with the city becoming a major hub for fintech, e-commerce, and startup innovation.

Key Developments

• New global ranking: Jakarta now leads Dhaka (36.6M) and Tokyo (33.4M), confirming long-observed local assessments of the city’s scale.

• Tech ecosystem dominance: With 2,400+ startups and 80% digital payment penetration, Jakarta acts as a frontline laboratory for digital transformation.

• Policy alignment underway: iDEA and the Indonesia Fintech Association plan strategic meetings during National Fintech Month 2025 to align frameworks with Jakarta’s expanding economic role.

• Urban pressures continue: Congestion, flooding, and future infrastructure demands—expected to grow with 10 million more residents by 2050—remain major challenges.

Why It Matters
Jakarta’s rise to the world’s largest urban area signals a new gravitational shift in global economic momentum—away from traditional hubs and toward emerging, tech-centered megacities. Paired with Indonesia’s entrance into BRICS, this demographic milestone strengthens the bloc’s influence and positions Southeast Asia as a central player in the evolving global order.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Demographic Power Shift: Indonesia’s massive urban concentration expands BRICS’ population footprint, tilting economic and geopolitical weight toward emerging markets.

• Pillar — Digital Infrastructure Realignment: Jakarta’s fintech and startup ecosystem deepens the bloc’s digital transformation agenda, advancing non-Western innovation hubs.

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

Tishwash: The Iraqi Embassy in Washington welcomes the US House of Representatives' vote to repeal the authorizations for the use of force against Iraq.

The Iraqi Embassy in Washington welcomed the US House of Representatives' vote to repeal the two authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq.

A statement from the Iraqi Embassy read: "The Embassy of the Republic of Iraq in Washington welcomes the US House of Representatives' vote to repeal the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq and to repeal the War Powers Resolution, a step that strengthens the partnership between Iraq and the United States and supports the bilateral relationship based on dialogue and cooperation."  link

Tishwash:  The Governor of the Central Bank participates in the Conference on the Future of Financial Markets in Iraq

In the presence of His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, the Financial and Accounting Training Center at the Ministry of Finance in Baghdad held its fifth annual international scientific conference, entitled: "The Future of Financial Markets in Iraq in an Era of Contemporary Transformations."

The conference brought together a select group of experts, academics, and government entities concerned with developing the financial and economic infrastructure. In his opening address, His Excellency the Governor emphasized that the world is currently witnessing an unprecedented phase of profound transformations in its financial and economic structures, where technology, finance, and economic policies intersect to create a rapidly changing and highly complex reality that precludes reliance on traditional models.

He stated, "It is no longer possible to postpone serious consideration of the future of our financial markets, nor to be content with traditional tools. Rather, it has become essential to have institutions capable of responding, transforming, and innovating."

He added that the last two decades have witnessed a comprehensive digital revolution that has altered the nature of economic activities, creating vast opportunities for digitizing transactions, enhancing transparency, developing banking services, and attracting technology investments.

He pointed out that there are various examples confirming that there is no static economic model… rapid transformations have become the rule, not the exception, and that the strength of the global economy today is not measured solely by the size of its natural resources, but also by the ability of its financial markets to adapt, absorb shocks, mobilize savings, and transform them into productive investments.

Heemphasized that developing financial markets in Iraq is a strategic necessity, not merely a reform option, if we want our economy to keep pace with the accelerating global cycle.

The Governor of the Central Bank reviewed the most prominent efforts Iraq has witnessed in recent years to develop its financial infrastructure, foremost among them the efforts to enhance monetary stability, which have been reflected in low inflation levels, as well as the vital role of the bank in stimulating local debt markets and financing the national economy, including bond issuances that have constituted an important source of financing for the general budget during critical phases of the economic cycle.

He explained that these issuances, in cooperation with the Ministry of Finance, the Securities Commission, and the Iraq Stock Exchange, have constituted a fundamental lever for financing the budget over the past two years, contributing an annual average of 5 trillion dinars and covering more than 50% of financing needs.

His Excellency concluded his speech by emphasizing the importance of adopting modern strategies to develop Iraqi financial markets, enhance transparency, expand financing tools, and keep pace with global digital transformations, and that the Central Bank of Iraq supports these steps, which support sustainable economic growth and drive investment in the country.

Tishwash: A government advisor reveals a legal path that allows securing salaries and obligations without the need for parliament.

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Wednesday the possibility of the government resorting to using "short-term advances" to secure salaries and maximum financial obligations, considering this the only legal path available to guarantee public services in light of the current legislative vacuum.

Saleh told Al-Furat News Agency that “the government, in the absence of parliament and with liquidity depleted, does not have the constitutional authority to engage in sovereign borrowing, but it has the legal and legitimate right to use short-term advances from the treasury, financed exclusively by government banks, as part of liquidity management without it being considered sovereign borrowing in the legal sense.”

He added that “this mechanism ensures the securing of priorities, foremost among them salaries, pensions and social welfare, based on the amended Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019,” noting that “Article (3) of the law authorizes the Ministry of Finance to manage liquidity and reallocate it, while the prohibition on borrowing contained in Article (24) applies to borrowing from outside the government sector exclusively.”

Saleh explained that "this measure represents a legal loophole that allows for a practical mechanism that does not require new legislation, and it is the only available path to ensure the continued funding of basic services until the legislative authority is reconstituted and the regulatory financial laws are issued."  link

Tishwash:  Borrowing freeze deepens Iraq’s fiscal crisis ahead of 2026

The Iraqi government has no legal authority to borrow currency until a new parliament is seated, the prime minister’s financial adviser warned on Tuesday, as Iraq enters 2026 with no budget and a deepening fiscal crunch.

According to Eco Iraq Observatory, the country’s deficit had already reached 17.7 trillion dinars (around $13.5 billion) by end-September 2025, forcing the government to operate under the restrictive 1/12 spending rule and freezing projects nationwide.

Mudher Mohammed Saleh told Shafaq News that while sovereign borrowing — whether domestic or foreign — is barred without parliamentary approval, the law still permits the use of short-term treasury advances funded exclusively by state-owned banks. These advances, he said, are strictly liquidity-management tools and do not constitute sovereign debt under Federal Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019.

Article 3 of the law, Saleh explained, authorizes the Ministry of Finance to manage public liquidity and reallocate funds among state institutions “according to financial interest,” whereas Article 24 prohibits all internal or external borrowing unless a specific law is passed by parliament. The restriction, he noted, applies to borrowing from outside the government sector and “does not include financing arrangements within the public sector.”

He added that the law places no limits on short-term financial advances or temporary funding arrangements between government entities, so long as they remain within the scope of liquidity management rather than sovereign borrowing. This framework is currently the “only legal mechanism available” to keep essential state expenditures funded until legislative authority is restored and able to pass the required financial laws.

The Federal Supreme Court ruled last month to dissolve parliament and convert the cabinet into a caretaker government. The court said election day — November 11 — marked the end of parliament’s mandate and its authority to legislate or oversee the executive. Under the ruling, the cabinet’s powers are reduced to managing daily, non-deferrable affairs.

Caretaker governments in Iraq are legally confined to routine operations. They cannot pass new laws, approve multi-year contracts, negotiate long-term investment agreements, or implement structural reforms. In practice, they operate at roughly 20–30 percent of normal administrative capacity.

More than 120 draft laws are currently frozen, along with more than 6,000 pending administrative decisions. Thousands of contracts worth an estimated $8–10 billion — including infrastructure and service projects — also remain suspended, according to a previous Shafaq News report on the post-election vacuum.

The new parliament’s first session is expected after January 9, 2026. Government formation may take an additional three to four months even under favorable conditions, further tightening pressure on state finances and planning bodies. Unlike previous political cycles, both the legislature and the cabinet have halted full operations until the new parliament convenes. link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Trump-Era Sanctions on Russian Oil Could Reshape Global Energy Map

U.S. policy targets Lukoil and Rosneft, potentially redirecting oil flows and altering trade dynamics.

Overview

• U.S. sanctions target major Russian energy companies, including Lukoil and Rosneft, restricting international trade access.

• Global oil flows may shift, with European and Asian buyers seeking alternative suppliers.

• Energy prices respond to uncertainty, influencing both crude benchmarks and refined product markets.

• Geopolitical implications extend to trade and investment, as countries adjust to sanction-driven market changes.

Key Developments

• Reuters reports that sanctions could reduce Russian oil exports to the West, with buyers potentially turning to Middle Eastern or U.S. sources.

• Market reactions show modest price increases, reflecting both supply uncertainty and logistical adjustments.

• Global energy trade networks may realign, as sanctioned companies find alternate routes and buyers.

• Analysts warn of long-term shifts, potentially strengthening non-Western energy hubs and reducing U.S./European leverage over global oil flows.

Why It Matters

Sanctions on Russian oil demonstrate how policy actions can quickly reshape global energy trade. Shifts in supply chains, trade partners, and investment decisions accelerate the reconfiguration of energy-dependent economies and highlight the strategic leverage of resource-rich nations.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Energy Geopolitics
Sanctions and export restrictions shift the balance of energy supply, empowering alternative producers and trading blocs.

Pillar 2: Trade Realignment
New oil flows and supply chains may accelerate multipolar trade relationships, reducing reliance on traditional Western markets.

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

IMF Urges China to Curb Exports and Boost Consumption

Policy guidance may reshape trade balances and global demand patterns.

Overview

• IMF advises China to adjust economic policy, rebalancing from export-led growth to domestic consumption.

• Structural reforms could alter global trade flows, impacting commodity and manufacturing markets.

• Investors monitor potential shifts in China’s economic footprint, given its central role in global supply chains.

• Global markets anticipate realignment, as China’s policy adjustments affect exports, imports, and capital flows.

Key Developments

• IMF public guidance stresses “brave choice” for structural reform, focusing on reducing external dependency.

• Policy recommendations include curbing export intensity and stimulating domestic demand, which could reshape trade balances with key partners.

• Market analysts note potential implications for commodities, technology, and consumer goods sectors.

• Global trade partners may adjust sourcing strategies, preparing for changes in China’s export behavior and domestic consumption patterns.

Why It Matters

China’s policy adjustments could significantly impact global trade and finance. By reducing reliance on exports and boosting domestic consumption, China may alter global supply chains, demand patterns, and the balance of economic influence among major trading blocs.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Trade Rebalancing
China’s shift from export-led growth to domestic-driven demand could accelerate multipolar trade patterns and reduce dependency on traditional Western markets.

Pillar 2: Investment Reorientation
Capital flows and production strategies globally may adjust to China’s new trade and consumption priorities, reshaping investment and supply chains.

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

Paul Gold Eagle: The Hidden Ledger has been Unsealed

Paul Gold Eagle: The Hidden Ledger has been Unsealed

12-10-2025

Paul White Gold Eagle  @PaulGoldEagle

DECEMBER 21, 2025, THE HIDDEN LEDGER HAS BEEN UNSEALED

Overnight reports from three intelligence corridors confirm something unprecedented. For the first time since the early 1970s, the concealed global accounts used to stabilize shadow markets have been forcibly exposed. This was not a breach. It was a controlled extraction undertaken with precision.

Shadow Liquidity Pools, The Mask Is Falling Off

Internal briefings describe the discovery of vast off-ledger funds stored in:

• Sovereign wealth silos in Scandinavian trusts

• Dormant U.S. Treasury side channels from the 2008 liquidity emergency

• Asian maritime bonds tied to pre-digital settlement networks

These pools were the real foundation of fiat stability. Their exposure removes the illusion of control.
Without these hidden structures, the financial world cannot return to “normal.”

December 22: Global Audit of Derivative Shells

Next day, December 22, multiple regulatory blocs will begin a synchronized audit of over two quadrillion dollars in derivative shells.
Most citizens never knew this market existed – because they were never meant to.

The purpose of the audit:

• Identify fraudulent leverage constructed by private equity syndicates

• Neutralize cascading liability transfers

• Prepare derivative collapse protocols for QFS absorption

This is the first step in eliminating the system that traded debt like oxygen.

Mass Data Reconciliation, The Digital Silence Explained

Last night’s unexplained slowdowns on social platforms and banking apps were not glitches.
They were reconciliation events, during which legacy databases were compelled to mirror quantum-ledger accuracy.

These corrections revealed:

• Long-concealed account inflation

• Fabricated institutional balances

• Synthetic reserves used by major banks to appear solvent

Once mirrored, these discrepancies cannot be erased. They become permanent records.

December 24: Disclosure Threshold Testing

On December 24, communication hubs across four continents will run Disclosure Threshold simulations.

The tests will measure:

• How fast the public can absorb large-scale revelations

• Whether broadcast nodes can sustain synchronized global announcements

• The readiness of transition-support teams for immediate deployment

This step has no precedent.
It signals that the world is being calibrated for a truth event, not merely a financial one.

The collapse is not the threat.
The concealment is.

And concealment is dying.
Stay alert.

The Epicenter of the Next Crash is Not Banks

The Epicenter of the Next Crash is Not Banks

Kitco News:  12-10-2025

In a recent interview with Kitco News, I had the opportunity to sit down with James Grant, the founder of Grant’s Interest Rate Observer, to discuss the critical developments shaping the US and global economies.

Our conversation touched on a range of pressing topics, from the resurgence of funding stress in US money markets to the potential for global financial volatility triggered by the Bank of Japan’s rate hike plans.

One of the key themes that emerged from our discussion was the ongoing challenge faced by the Federal Reserve in managing liquidity. The recent repo rate spikes are a clear indication of suppressed price discovery and hidden market stress, echoing the 2019 repo crisis.

 According to Grant, the Fed’s response to such crises – injecting artificial liquidity into the system – may be masking true credit conditions and preventing genuine price discovery.

The Fed’s “fourth mandate” of ensuring smooth market functioning has become a double-edged sword. While it may provide short-term stability, it also creates a fragile and distorted financial environment.

Grant warns that this interventionist approach risks inflating asset bubbles and misallocating capital, particularly in areas like private credit and insurance sectors. These sectors may be vulnerable to a significant crisis once liquidity tightens or risk repricing occurs.

The current market leadership, driven by AI-related stocks, bears some resemblance to the tech exuberance of the late 1990s. Grant cautions that we may be witnessing overinvestment in short-lived technologies and infrastructure, which could ultimately lead to a painful correction.

Moreover, the Bank of Japan’s potential rate hikes and the unwinding of the yen carry trade are identified as possible triggers for global financial volatility that the Fed may struggle to counterbalance.

In the midst of this complex and uncertain economic backdrop, Grant offers some insightful analysis on the precious metals markets.

The historic silver price surge, alongside gold’s strength, is interpreted as a sign of growing market skepticism toward central bank policies. Silver’s unique volatility, as both a monetary and an industrial metal, makes it a fascinating barometer of market sentiment.

Grant suggests that these metals reflect a broader public “vote of no confidence” in monetary policy.

As we navigate the intricate web of global economic challenges, it’s clear that the Fed’s actions will be under intense scrutiny.

 While the central bank’s intentions may be to stabilize the system, the unintended consequences of its interventions could be far-reaching. As investors and observers, it’s essential to remain vigilant and consider the potential risks and opportunities that lie ahead.

For those interested in delving deeper into this conversation, I encourage you to watch the full video interview on Kitco News. James Grant’s insights offer a nuanced understanding of the complex forces shaping our economy, and his warnings about the potential consequences of Fed intervention are certainly worth heeding.

In conclusion, the discussion with James Grant serves as a timely reminder of the importance of critical thinking and nuanced analysis in navigating the complexities of the global economy.

As we move forward, it’s crucial to remain aware of the hidden risks and potential pitfalls that lie beneath the surface, and to consider the long-term implications of the Fed’s actions.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Global Debt Hits Record $346 Trillion, Raising Systemic Risks

Rising sovereign and corporate debt may accelerate financial realignments globally.

Overview

• Global debt reaches $346 trillion, roughly 310% of global GDP, signaling record leverage.

• Developed economies carry the bulk of debt, creating vulnerability to interest‑rate shifts.

• Emerging markets face rising refinancing risks, prompting shifts toward local-currency borrowing.

• Investors and central banks monitor closely, anticipating potential stress in global capital flows.

 Key Developments

• IIF report confirms debt surge, highlighting risks to both sovereign and corporate borrowers worldwide.

• Interest-rate sensitivity is high, as developed markets carry heavy public and private debt.

• Emerging markets diversify funding sources, increasingly turning to local-currency bonds to mitigate dollar exposure.

• Financial analysts warn of spillover effects, as debt vulnerabilities could trigger volatility in currencies, equities, and commodities.

Why It Matters

The record global debt underscores fragility in the international financial system. Rising borrowing costs or geopolitical shocks could trigger debt crises, prompting shifts in capital allocation and possibly accelerating the move toward multipolar financial structures.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Financial Multipolarity
High debt levels push nations to seek alternatives to Western-dominated capital markets.

Pillar 2: Risk-Based Capital Reallocation
Investors may shift portfolios toward safer or emerging-market assets, altering global financial flows.

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

Global Trade Poised to Reach $35 Trillion, Signaling Shifts in Supply Chains

UNCTAD forecasts record trade growth, highlighting evolving global economic patterns.

Overview

• Global trade projected to grow 7% in 2025, reaching a record $35 trillion.

• Developing economies are contributing strongly, reflecting shifts in trade power toward emerging markets.

• Trade routes and supply chains are adapting, with new corridors and logistics partnerships emerging.

• Investors and policymakers monitor closely, as growth may influence capital flows, currency stability, and geopolitical leverage.

Key Developments

• UNCTAD report highlights strong expansion in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

• Shifts in trade composition: industrial goods, technology, and energy products show above-average growth.

• Global supply chains diversify, moving away from overreliance on single-country hubs.

• Policymakers in the West and East adjust tariffs, logistics infrastructure, and trade agreements to align with growth patterns.

Why It Matters

Rising trade volumes signal not just economic recovery but a structural realignment in global commerce. Emerging markets’ growing share of trade strengthens their influence in setting trade standards, pricing, and investment priorities.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Multipolar Trade Architecture
Shifts in trade flows empower emerging economies to negotiate terms and diversify partners, reducing Western dominance.

Pillar 2: Supply-Chain Resilience
Higher trade volumes and diversified routes make supply chains more resilient, encouraging regional hubs and reducing dependency on single corridors.

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

U.S. Treasury Proposes Overhaul of AML Enforcement — Regulatory Shift Looms

Centralization of enforcement could reshape bank compliance, risk oversight, and federal authority.

Overview

• Treasury proposes shifting anti–money-laundering enforcement to FinCEN, centralizing oversight and reducing fragmented compliance responsibilities.

• Plan aims to ease technical-compliance burdens on banks, focusing penalties and enforcement on major financial-crime threats rather than minor infractions.

• Proposal enters public-comment phase, signaling the first major AML enforcement realignment in decades.

Key Developments

• FinCEN would gain expanded enforcement authority, taking powers traditionally held across multiple banking regulators.

• Banks may face fewer procedural penalties, but stricter scrutiny on high-risk activities under a more centralized enforcement model.

• Regulators signal a move toward threat-based oversight, aligning U.S. AML strategy with global financial-crime standards used by FATF and the EU.

• Industry groups warn the shift could reshape compliance-cost structures, impacting regional banks and cross-border institutions.

Why It Matters

Centralizing AML enforcement is a structural change to U.S. financial governance. If adopted, it shifts regulatory power, alters compliance incentives, and changes how U.S. banks manage risk — all factors that influence global capital flows. A streamlined, threat-based regime may strengthen U.S. financial defenses while accelerating the global move toward unified financial-crime frameworks seen in Europe and Asia.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Regulatory Power Consolidation
A single federal authority reshaping AML oversight signals broader centralization trends in finance — a key element of institutional restructuring.

Pillar 2 — Compliance Cost Realignment
Shifts in enforcement models could alter how banks allocate capital, indirectly affecting credit availability, liquidity dynamics, and cross-border finance.

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

Oil Prices Steady Amid Ukraine Peace Talks and Fed Outlook

Energy markets balance geopolitical developments with monetary policy expectations.

Overview

• Crude prices remain stable, reflecting a mix of diplomatic and macroeconomic factors.

• Ukraine peace talks add optimism, potentially easing regional supply risk.

• U.S. Federal Reserve policy decisions influence investor expectations for energy demand.

• Traders remain cautious, as market volatility is influenced by both geopolitical and economic signals.

Key Developments

• Reuters reports Brent and WTI crude prices steady, despite ongoing uncertainty in supply routes.

• Diplomatic talks in Ukraine could affect European energy security, potentially lowering perceived risk premiums.

• Fed rate outlook impacts energy demand forecasts, as tighter monetary policy may slow economic growth.

• Analysts highlight the intersection of diplomacy and monetary policy in shaping near-term energy markets.

Why It Matters

Energy markets are increasingly sensitive to both geopolitical negotiations and macroeconomic policy. Price stability under these conditions suggests evolving market mechanisms and the potential for more diversified energy sourcing in response to conflict or policy changes.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Energy Market Resilience
Stable pricing despite geopolitical uncertainty indicates adaptability in global energy networks.

Pillar 2: Policy-Driven Market Shifts
Monetary and diplomatic developments together influence energy trade, investment, and pricing structures, reshaping global flows.

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

“Tidbits From TNT” Wednesday 12-10-2025

TNT:

Tishwash: The European Union affirms its commitment to expanding cooperation with Iraq.

The European Union today affirmed its commitment to expanding cooperation with Iraq.

A statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), stated that "the Undersecretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Baghdad, Ambassador Mohammed Hussein Mohammed Bahr Al-Uloom, received the European Union Ambassador to Iraq, Clemens Zimmtner."

He added, "At the beginning of the meeting, the Undersecretary welcomed the Ambassador, stressing the Ministry's keenness to strengthen the partnership with the European Union and raise the level of cooperation in various fields, especially political, economic and developmental fields."

He explained that "Iraq views the European Union as a reliable partner and supporter of the paths of stability and growth."

For his part, the European Union ambassador affirmed that “the Union sees Iraq as a strong and pivotal partner in the region,” stressing “the need for the continued development of the Iraqi economy and support for the stability that the country is witnessing, which contributes to enhancing its ability to play its regional and international role.”

He pointed out "the keenness of the Union countries to expand the horizons of cooperation with Iraq during the next stage," indicating that the two sides discussed during the meeting the issue of ending the work of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), and the mechanisms for moving to a new stage of cooperation that focuses on technical and institutional support.

He added: "They also discussed the latest developments in the Syrian file, and stressed the importance of continuing coordination on regional developments of common interest."  link

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

Tishwash:  Financial advisor: Increased international interest in Iraq has opened up broad prospects for economic diversification.

The Prime Minister's Financial Advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, affirmed on Tuesday that the growing international interest in investing in Iraq has opened up broad horizons for economic diversification.

Salih told the official news agency that "Iraqi diplomacy has truly begun to shift from traditional political rhetoric to a promising economic horizon, having undertaken the task of forging partnerships and agreements and opening effective communication channels with industrialized nations, neighboring countries, major international companies, and international institutions, with the aim of making Iraq an active economic partner, not merely a market for crude oil."

He added that "the increasing interest of the international community in investing in Iraq, especially after the improvement in security conditions and the rise in stability levels, has created an opportune moment to capitalize on this momentum in rebuilding and modernizing infrastructure and reviving projects that have been stalled for years."

He pointed out that “the Development Road Project initiative represents a significant leap forward in this new diplomacy of cooperation and intertwined economic interests with Turkey and Europe to the north, and the Gulf and Asia to the south.”

He explained that “economic diplomacy is defined as a state’s use of its foreign relations tools—such as agreements, partnerships, investments, and trade contracts—to expand economic activity, enhance trade, and attract foreign investment.”

He pointed out that “Iraqi economic diplomacy, as outlined in the government program, is based on the principle of productive diplomacy, meaning employing foreign policy to maximize direct economic benefits.”

He noted that “this approach has, in a short period, provided Iraq with an attractive environment for foreign investment, opened new markets for trade, and expanded regional cooperation, thus contributing to diversifying national income sources away from the rentier oil sector.”

He added that “among the most prominent achievements within this framework is the activation of the Strategic Framework Agreement with the United States and its transformation into joint economic action in the fields of technology, infrastructure, digital transformation, and the oil industry.

Furthermore, cooperation with China has been activated within the framework agreement aimed at developing electricity and infrastructure projects.

Cooperation with the European Union in the energy sector and other areas has also been strengthened, along with the move towards more efficient and sustainable regional networks. In addition, there has been openness to the Gulf Cooperation Council countries in electricity interconnection projects and investment in various reconstruction and development programs.”

Tishwash: Washington Prepares Major Sanctions against Iraqi Figures Over Money Laundering, Armed Groups Funding

One official told Al-Araby al-Jadeed that Washington views the move as a response to recent attacks on gas and oil fields, as well as part of a wider effort to curb money laundering and financial support to armed groups.

Iraqi authorities have been informed that the United States is preparing to issue a new round of sanctions targeting politicians, businessmen, and multiple companies, according to three Iraqi government sources familiar with the matter.

One official told Al-Araby al-Jadeed that Washington views the move as a response to recent attacks on gas and oil fields, as well as part of a wider effort to curb money laundering and financial support to armed groups.

According to the sources, US officials conveyed during recent visits to Baghdad that the upcoming sanctions list will include individuals involved in funding channels linked to armed groups operating in the interests of a neighboring country. The measures, which will be finalized by the US Treasury Department, are expected to focus on entities believed to be facilitating illicit financial activities.

A diplomat from the Iraqi Foreign Ministry confirmed that the list includes senior members of armed factions that also maintain political representation in parliament.

Aid Hilali, a political analyst close to the Iraqi prime minister, said Iraqi political circles widely expect the sanctions, noting that they will target a broad range of political, economic, and commercial figures, including members of the private sector. He added that leaked information indicates Washington has completed reviews of the financial and security records of several politicians, businessmen, and faction leaders, as well as companies in the energy transport and logistics sectors.

“The United States has signaled through several channels that these sanctions will form part of a new approach aimed at restructuring Washington’s relationship with Baghdad,” Hilali said. “Leaked details suggest the measures will be significantly wider than previous rounds, raising concerns about the political and security fallout.”

Nizar Haider, head of the Iraqi Media Center in Washington, said both Baghdad and Washington are awaiting the official announcement, which could include dozens of individuals and entities believed to be influenced by foreign governments. He noted that the measures are expected to restrict their future activities inside Iraq.

Haider also stressed that the US may oppose the appointment of individuals aligned with external actors to senior positions in Iraq’s next government, signaling potential diplomatic friction in the formation of the new cabinet.

The US Treasury Department has, in recent years, sanctioned several Iraqi figures and companies over allegations of corruption, money laundering, and arms smuggling. In October, Washington issued sanctions against several political leaders, military officials, and private firms.  link

Frank26   In this month of December, many currencies are preparing for the beginning of next year to change their value.  This is my very strong opinion...The Iraq dinar is the lynch pin.  It is the number one currency for all the other global currencies to reset.

Frank26  The Gazette dated December 1, 2025, the CBI governor himself  discussed the potential rate change...It's not so much a step-by-step instructions on how to exchange the currency you Iraqi citizens.  It's more, 'hey, we're doing this.  Hey, you got to do some things. Hey, we have details for you.'  That's what Alaq is doing.  He's putting all this information in the gazette for the citizens to see.

Walkingstick  Inside of the country of Iraq there's a fixed rate that is being established to allow the Iraqi dinar to be 1 to 1 on par with the American dollar.  Not pegged, but on on par.  All of this is in country, inside of the borders of Iraq...The dinar is about to go into a float in the world markets outside of Iraq.  It is the people outside of Iraq that will cause the supply and demand...That means it's going to go up in value, let's say $3.22.  But if they start at $3.22 then they may cap it at $4.25 the way they said...This is multiple exchange rates!
