Tishwash:  Fitch affirms Iraq's credit rating at (B-) and praises "internal stability"

The Iraqi Ministry of Finance announced on Monday that the international credit rating agency Fitch has affirmed Iraq’s sovereign rating at (B-) with a “stable” outlook.

The ministry said in a statement, received by Shafaq News Agency, that this step reflects international confidence in the ability of the Iraqi economy to maintain its financial and credit stability despite the current global and regional challenges.

The ministry explained in its statement that the Fitch report highlighted positively the strength of internal stability in Iraq, noting that the internal situation has remained resilient and stable during the past months, which reflects the success of government policies in keeping the Iraqi arena neutral from regional conflicts and escalating tensions in the region.

The Iraqi Ministry of Finance added that the agency also noted the significant improvement in the security situation, which has strengthened the country’s ability to absorb successive geopolitical shocks, pointing out that oil revenues still constitute a major support for the Iraqi economy, providing a financial base that contributes to the sustainability of service provision and the running of state affairs.

The Ministry of Finance affirmed that maintaining the rating with a stable outlook provides an incentive to move forward with the implementation of the structural reforms adopted by the government, which aim to maximize non-oil revenues, improve the efficiency of public spending, and address the challenges associated with approving future budgets, thereby reducing financial uncertainty and enhancing the path of economic development.

The ministry renewed its commitment to working according to strategies aimed at diversifying sources of income and strengthening the pillars of the national economy, taking advantage of the state of security and political stability to enhance the confidence of international financial institutions in the future of the Iraqi economy.

A credit rating is an indicator of a country's ability to meet its financial obligations and repay its debts. Fitch Ratings' affirmation of Iraq's rating at (B-) means that the country is still able to repay, but it faces potential financial and economic risks, which keeps borrowing costs relatively high and makes investor confidence cautious, without registering a substantial improvement or decline in the financial situation, according to specialists.

Fitch Ratings is one of the world’s largest credit rating agencies, along with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s. It is based in the United States and specializes in assessing the creditworthiness of countries and companies. Its ratings are based on economic, financial and political indicators and are used globally by governments, investors and financial institutions to estimate investment and borrowing risks. link

Tishwash:  My perspective on the dinar and economic reform, based on what Dr. Nabil Al-Marsoumi wrote about them.

With all due respect to you, my dear professor Dr. Nabil Al-Marsoumi, and with all due appreciation for your knowledge and expertise, from which I have always benefited, I hope you will allow me to present the following points to you, in response and commentary on what you wrote about economic reform a few days ago, as follows:

1- The “White Paper” was never a reform paper, and it never will be. In it, the wrong measures and government corruption were imposed on the people, as they were exposed to inflation due to the reduction in the exchange rate of the dinar, and stagnation prevailed in the markets due to the contradictions in the economic measures, not to mention the exploitation of the economic crises by those in power and their entourages to make profits and accelerate the wheel of smuggling.

2- I agree with you, my dear professor, that the economic crises in developing countries are caused by errors in macroeconomic policies, and I also agree with you on the necessity of cooperating with the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. However, I do not agree with you, nor with the pillars of the Iraqi government that approved the “White Paper” prepared by the World Bank, with nominal Iraqi participation, regarding many of the items and measures contained in the ill-fated White Paper.

I do not agree with placing the plans to address the Iraqi economic crises under the authority of the World Bank or others. Rather, I call for the solutions to be purely Iraqi, in cooperation with international financial institutions, as Iraq is full of good economic personnel, both inside and outside the government.

3- In my view, seeking to reduce the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar is an economic crime that should only be resorted to in extreme emergency situations, when other means are exhausted. Iraq has multiple available means to address its economic crises, such as borrowing, rationalizing the budget, reforming food rations and social welfare, regulating salaries, limiting appointments, and eliminating underemployment, among others. These measures will be painful, as you mentioned, but they are certainly better than the effects of stagflation, which will burden the rich before the poor.

4- Floating the Iraqi dinar, in the current state of the Iraqi economy, contradicts the most basic rules of economics, not to mention its contradiction with reason and logic. Economically, floating occurs in a balanced free market where there is a real opportunity to achieve a fair exchange rate. This is impossible to achieve in the current Iraqi economy, as the only party that possesses dollars and hard currencies is the Central Bank of Iraq. As for the Iraqi market, it obtains hard currencies from the Central Bank, because Iraq is an importing country and not an exporting one, and most traders do not possess hard currency because they do not export, but rather they depend on the Central Bank to provide foreign currency liquidity. Consequently, there is no balanced market in which hard currency is available to everyone, and it is a market governed by what the Central Bank provides of hard currency, so competition becomes impossible, and achieving a fair exchange rate becomes impossible.

5- Promoting the idea of ​​floating the dinar and reducing its exchange rate in the markets and among the general public is extremely dangerous. It is a preemptive move for possible future measures that may not happen, and if they do happen, they may not be soon. Occupying the markets with this type of idea presented as a solution is harmful and not beneficial. Therefore, I recommend staying away from it and leaving the idea of ​​floating the dinar and reducing its exchange rate to the next government.

6- The economic reform process will be harsh and costly for the poor and those with limited and middle incomes, as you mentioned. The government must strive to alleviate the burden of this harshness and cost by improving economic, security, and social performance, and by formulating a national reform paper, with the participation of the concerned parties, the government, society, and markets, and with the assistance of local, international, and UN financial institutions.

6- Economic reform measures will not be effective unless they are accompanied by good intentions from those who take them. Corruption and mismanagement have brought Iraq to this state, and its continuation means the inevitable failure of reform measures. I think the time has come for the marginalized class of the national elite and entrepreneurs in the markets to take their place in the constructive and effective contribution to managing the course of the economy in Iraq, whether those in power accept it or not.  link

Tishwash:  Iraqi Foreign Minister: Ending the UNAMI mission in Iraq reflects the progress and stability achieved.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his pride in the ongoing cooperation with Iraq on Saturday, while Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein affirmed his country's appreciation for the international organization's role during previous phases.

A statement from the Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), stated that "Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein received the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, upon his arrival at Baghdad International Airport."

The statement explained that "this visit came on the occasion of the announcement of the end of the work of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), after years of carrying out its tasks in supporting the political process, promoting stability, and providing advice and assistance in various fields."

During the reception, the Minister affirmed the Iraqi government's appreciation for the role played by the United Nations and UNAMI in supporting Iraq during previous phases, noting that "the termination of the mission's work reflects the progress and stability achieved, and embodies Iraq's ability to manage its national affairs and strengthen its sovereignty and constitutional institutions."

For his part, the Secretary-General of the United Nations expressed his "pride in the existing cooperation with Iraq," stressing "the continued support of the international organization for Iraq through new cooperation frameworks that are appropriate for the next stage, and that enhance sustainable development and international partnership."

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres arrived in Baghdad this morning to participate in the official ceremony marking the end of the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Pax Silica Alliance Forms as U.S. Rallies Allies in Global Chip and AI Power Shift

Washington launches a coordinated technology bloc to secure semiconductors, AI systems, and critical minerals amid rising competition with China.

Overview

• United States unveils “Pax Silica,” a new strategic technology alliance aimed at protecting AI, semiconductor, and critical mineral supply chains.

• Core allies span Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, reflecting a coordinated response to China’s rapid tech expansion.

• Initiative prioritizes supply-chain resilience, joint R&D, and workforce development in advanced technologies.

• Alliance structure includes core members and guest contributors, expanding influence beyond formal membership.

Key Developments

• Pax Silica formally established as a U.S.-led technology coalition
  The initiative brings together trusted partners to coordinate AI research, semiconductor production, and critical mineral access, reducing reliance on China-dominated supply chains.

• Eight core nations anchor the alliance’s operational capacity
  Japan, South Korea, Singapore, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Australia each contribute specialized strengths ranging from chip fabrication to cybersecurity and mineral sourcing.

• Guest contributors extend regulatory and manufacturing reach
  Taiwan, the European Union, Canada, and the OECD provide advisory support, regulatory alignment, and technical expertise, strengthening cross-border coordination without full membership.

• Focus on AI supply chains and joint innovation intensifies
  Pax Silica emphasizes diversified semiconductor production, shared research breakthroughs, and education programs to build a future-ready workforce capable of sustaining long-term technological leadership.

Why It Matters

Pax Silica signals a decisive shift toward bloc-based technology governance as nations respond to China’s state-driven advances in AI and semiconductor manufacturing. By organizing trusted partners around critical technologies, the U.S. is reinforcing economic security, protecting strategic industries, and reshaping how global innovation power is distributed.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Technology Bloc Realignment
Strategic industries are consolidating within allied frameworks, fragmenting the global tech market into competing spheres of influence.

Pillar 2: Supply Chains as National Security Assets
Semiconductors, AI systems, and critical minerals are no longer neutral trade goods — they are foundational to monetary power, defense capability, and economic sovereignty.

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

China Moves to Eliminate Childbirth Costs Nationwide Beginning 2026

Beijing targets demographic decline by removing financial barriers to starting families.

Overview

• China plans to fully cover policy-approved childbirth medical costs starting in 2026, including prenatal checkups and delivery.

• Families will face no out-of-pocket expenses for approved childbirth services, shifting costs to the national healthcare system.

• Several provinces have already implemented near-free childbirth programs, serving as pilots for nationwide rollout.

• Policy is part of a broader population strategy as China’s population continues to decline.

Key Developments

• National healthcare authority confirms full childbirth cost coverage
  China’s National Healthcare Security Administration announced that all approved medical expenses related to childbirth will be reimbursed, aiming to remove healthcare costs as a deterrent to having children.

• Provincial pilot programs already in effect
  Multiple regions have introduced similar reimbursement schemes, demonstrating feasibility and setting benchmarks for national standards.

• Demographic decline drives urgency
  China’s population has been shrinking since 2022, with persistently low birth rates linked to high costs of healthcare, childcare, housing, and education.

• Policy integrates into long-term economic planning
  The initiative aligns with broader workforce and aging-population strategies, as Beijing seeks to stabilize labor supply and manage future pension and healthcare burdens.

Why It Matters

China’s move underscores how demographic pressures are now shaping fiscal and social policy. By absorbing childbirth-related medical costs, Beijing is using the state balance sheet to influence population trends, labor sustainability, and long-term economic stability amid slowing growth and an aging society.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: State-Backed Social Spending Expansion
Governments are increasingly intervening directly in demographic and social outcomes, expanding public financial commitments to stabilize future economic capacity.

Pillar 2: Demographics as Economic Policy
Population trends are becoming central to national economic planning, influencing labor markets, productivity forecasts, and long-term fiscal structures worldwide.

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

$1.3 Trillion Wall Street Time Bomb, the Private Credit Bubble

$1.3 Trillion Wall Street Time Bomb, the Private Credit Bubble

Lena Petrova:  12-13-2025

The private credit market in the United States is a rapidly evolving and increasingly complex entity that has grown exponentially since the 2008 financial crisis.

What was once a relatively small and unassuming sector has ballooned into a behemoth, with approximately $1.3 trillion in outstanding loans, roughly half the size of the commercial and industrial loans made by banks.

However, this meteoric rise has also brought with it a host of systemic risks that threaten the stability of the broader financial sector.

For years, investors have relied on credit rating agencies to gauge the safety of their investments.

Investment grade ratings on loans or bonds were considered a reliable indicator of creditworthiness. However, according to PIMCO’s Chief Investment Officer and other financial experts, this assumption is now woefully outdated.

The explosive growth of private credit, a sector that is largely unregulated and opaque compared to traditional banking, has rendered traditional credit ratings increasingly unreliable.

So, what exactly is private credit, and how has it become such a significant player in the US financial system? Private credit refers to loans made directly by funds, rather than banks, to corporate borrowers.

This sector has grown rapidly as banks retreated from corporate lending in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. However, in a twist of fate, banks are now increasingly lending to private credit funds themselves, creating a complex and intertwined ecosystem that is fraught with risk.

The parallels between today’s private credit market and the pre-2008 financial environment are striking. The reliance on credit rating agencies, who are suspected of inflating creditworthiness, and increasingly lax underwriting standards, may be concealing growing risks.

Moreover, private credit borrowers often defer payments, and distressed loans are on the rise, signaling potential credit losses if economic conditions worsen.

Regulators are only just beginning to address these risks, with bodies like the SEC probing rating agencies and the Bank for International Settlements warning about the inflating effect of private capital flows into private credit.

However, the lack of standardized transparency and reporting requirements for private credit funds exacerbates the problem, making it difficult to assess true asset quality and systemic exposure.

The warning signs are clear: the private credit market has the potential to trigger a financial crisis potentially more severe than 2008 if a wave of defaults occurs.

 The intertwined nature of banks lending to private credit funds, combined with hidden leverage and deteriorating asset quality, forms a precarious “house of cards.” The call to action is for enhanced regulatory oversight, greater transparency, and investor diligence to mitigate the looming systemic risks within this fast-growing sector.

So, what can be done to mitigate these risks? Firstly, regulators must step up their oversight of the private credit market, introducing standardized transparency and reporting requirements to provide a clearer picture of asset quality and systemic exposure.

 Investors must also be more diligent in their due diligence, scrutinizing the creditworthiness of borrowers and the quality of the loans being made.

Ultimately, the private credit market is a ticking time bomb that has the potential to unleash a devastating financial crisis on the US economy.

 It is imperative that regulators, investors, and financial experts work together to address the systemic risks that are building in this complex and opaque sector.

Jon Dowling: Potential Timeline for New Financial System with Scotty Saks, Dec. 2025

Jon Dowling: Potential Timeline for New Financial System with Scotty Saks, Dec. 2025

12-13-2025

Financial-related information starts at (42:39).

The world of finance is on the cusp of a significant transformation, one that promises to reshape the global economic landscape.

In a recent in-depth podcast discussion between host Jon Dowling and Scotty Sachs, CEO of Sovereign Radio, the intricacies of the imminent global financial reset were explored in detail.

This conversation shed light on the emerging new financial system, its underlying principles, and the potential implications for individuals and nations alike.

At the heart of this reset is a return to sound money principles, where currencies are backed by tangible assets such as gold, silver, and other natural resources like coffee and diamonds.

The idea is that 209 sovereign nations will utilize these “god-given” resources to back their currencies, leveraging blockchain technology and stablecoins like XRP and XLM to facilitate this transition.

This new paradigm is expected to significantly reduce the control exerted by central banks, minimize corruption, and enable faster and more transparent transactions.

The use of blockchain technology and stablecoins is particularly noteworthy, as it promises to bring about a level of transparency and efficiency that traditional financial systems lack.

By anchoring currencies to real assets and utilizing decentralized ledger technology, the new financial system aims to restore trust and stability to the global economy.

While the exact timing of this reset remains uncertain, Dowling and Sachs express optimism that it could occur as early as the first quarter of 2026, citing market indicators and political momentum in support of their forecast.

This timeline is, of course, subject to change, but the direction of travel appears clear.

However, the discussion between Dowling and Sachs extends beyond the purely economic or financial aspects of the reset.

They situate the current financial crises within a broader spiritual and societal context, framing these challenges as part of a larger cosmic struggle between good and evil. This perspective encourages listeners to look beyond the surface level, to understand that the unfolding events are not merely about economics or politics but are intertwined with deeper spiritual battles.

In light of these developments, the speakers offer several pieces of advice to their listeners. Firstly, they encourage individuals to seek truth, to look beyond the narratives presented by mainstream sources, and to engage in their own research and discernment.

Secondly, they advise prudent preparation, particularly through the acquisition of tangible assets such as precious metals.

Finally, they stress the importance of maintaining faith in the face of uncertainty and adversity.

As we stand at the threshold of this new financial era, it’s clear that the coming years will be marked by significant change and upheaval.

While the future is inherently uncertain, one thing is clear: the global financial reset has the potential to reshape the world in profound ways.

By understanding the principles underlying this shift and by preparing prudently, individuals can navigate the challenges ahead with greater confidence and resilience.

For further insights and information, we recommend watching the full video discussion by Jon Dowling. As the world moves towards a new financial paradigm, staying informed and engaged will be crucial for navigating the transformations that lie ahead.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Why “This Week” Predictions Never Come True

The systemic reason timelines always fail

For over two decades, currency holders have been told “this is the week.”
The problem was never patience — it was the framework.

Overview

• Financial systems do not operate on public timelines.

• Predictions fail because they ignore how currency systems actually change.

• Repeated disappointment is a structural outcome — not personal failure.

Key Developments

• Currency changes require system readiness, not optimism.
  Legal authority, trade settlement, banking integration, and fiscal coordination must align before value adjusts.

• No single actor controls timing.
  Central banks, finance ministries, international banks, and settlement systems must move together.

• Deadlines increase risk.
  Public dates invite speculation, arbitrage, capital flight, and instability — forcing institutions to delay further.

• Silence is intentional.
  The closer systems get to readiness, the less public communication occurs.

Why Predictions Persist

• Information gaps create opportunity for speculation.

• Hope is monetized when clarity is absent.

• Confidence is confused with accuracy.

None of these produce outcomes.

Why It Matters

Understanding why predictions fail replaces frustration with clarity — and restores agency to currency holders.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

• You were not wrong to hope.

• You were misled about process, not outcome.

• Real systems do not run on rumors or countdowns.

• Patience grounded in facts is strategic, not passive.

Key Truth:
If anyone truly knew the date, the system would already be compromised.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Multilateral Coordination: No reset occurs on a single nation’s schedule.

• Pillar 2 — Stability Over Speed: Timing follows readiness, not pressure.

Bottom Line

“This week” predictions fail because systems don’t move on promises.
They move when structure is complete.

That has always been true.

What Real Readiness Looks Like — A Verifiable Checklist for Currency Holders

Replacing rumor with observable progress

Real currency adjustments are preceded by measurable system readiness.
This checklist gives currency holders objective markers to watch — without dates, hype, or speculation.

Overview

• Readiness is observable, even when timelines are not.

• Currency value adjusts only after systems prove stability.

• This checklist replaces “this week” claims with verifiable facts.

Key Developments

• Legal & Monetary Authority Established:
  A country must have a legally empowered central bank with control over monetary and exchange-rate policy, confirmed by law and international reporting.

• Operational Trade Corridors Active:
  Ports, roads, logistics hubs, and payment settlement supporting actual trade flows, not just MOUs or announcements.

• Banking & Settlement Integration Verified:
  Domestic banks connected to correspondent banking networks, meeting AML/CFT standards, and settling cross-border transactions without friction.

• Fiscal & Reserve Discipline Evident:
  Controlled inflation, managed deficits, adequate reserves, and coordination between treasury and central bank policy.

• Controlled Communication From Authorities:
  Central banks deny rumors, avoid timelines, and communicate only when systems are ready — silence is a sign of discipline.

The Readiness Checklist (Save This)

Currency holders can verify progress by watching for:

•  Central bank legal authority confirmed (IMF / national law)

•  IMF Article IV or equivalent reporting shows stability

•  Trade infrastructure moving from construction to use

•  Banking compliance upgrades completed

• Correspondent banking restored

•  Settlement systems tested quietly

• ✅ Inflation controlled, reserves adequate

• ❌ No public rates, dates, or promises released

When most boxes are checked, value change becomes possible — not promised.

Why It Matters

This framework removes emotional dependency on gurus and replaces it with personal financial literacy.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

• You can verify progress yourself — no intermediaries required

• Patience becomes informed, not passive

• Silence and denials become data points, not discouragement

• Structure protects purchasing power when value adjusts

Key Insight:
Prepared systems reward holders. Unprepared systems punish speculation.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Systemic Readiness: Global resets occur through infrastructure, not announcements.

• Pillar 2 — Durable Value Creation: Sustainable currency strength follows governance, trade, and settlement stability.

Bottom Line

You do not need a date.
You need readiness.

When systems are prepared, value moves quietly — and holds.

A Message to Our Currency Holders

From the Seeds of Wisdom Team

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you are not foolish.            You are not late.
And you were not wrong to believe that the global financial system would eventually change.

What was wrong was how that change was explained to you.

For too long, the conversation has been dominated by dates, rumors, and personalities — not by structure, systems, and verifiable facts. Repeated promises of “this week” created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never grounded in how currencies actually adjust.

That is not your failure.
It is a failure of information.

Our purpose here is simple:

• To replace speculation with evidence

• To replace fear and hype with understanding

• To replace dependency on gurus with personal clarity

We believe currency value changes occur — but only after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History, institutions, and global financial architecture all confirm this sequence.

You will not see us give dates.
You will not see us promise rates.
You will not see us amplify rumors.

Instead, you will see:

• Verified developments

• Institutional proof

• Context for where nations are in the process

• And honest explanations of what still needs to happen

This is how hope becomes durable — not fragile.

If a global reset brings currency revaluations, it will come quietly, structurally, and after readiness. When that happens, preparation will matter far more than prediction.

Until then:

• Protect your identity

• Organize your documentation

• Verify everything

• And never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Thank you for walking this path with us.

Tishwash:  "A quantum leap"... Al-Ahli Bank of Iraq signs its largest digital expansion deal to launch more innovative banking services 

The National Bank of Iraq praised the investment developments taking place in Iraq, stressing that this is a strategic step that enhances the digital transformation in the country, while noting that the development of banking services is in line with the highest international standards. 

The bank said in a statement, "The bank has approved the purchase of 51% of the shares of both the Iraqi Electronic Gateway for Financial Services Company (SWITCH) and the Digital Future for Electronic Distribution Services Company," noting that "the General Assembly approved the authorization of the authorized manager, Ayman Omran Abu Dahim, to sign all agreements, documents and papers necessary to complete and implement the investment decisions." 

He explained that "this step is an integrated business model that combines the banking solvency and advanced technological capabilities of the two companies, enabling the bank to launch an innovative digital services system that includes developing national payments, enhancing financial inclusion for individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as expanding the network of partnerships with global financial institutions.

This expansion comes in light of the increasing demand for financial technology solutions and smart payment applications in the Iraqi market."

He explained that "this investment opens the door for the bank to integrate its banking expertise with the technical capabilities of the two companies, which will enhance the development of advanced electronic payment services, transfers, digital wallets, and points of sale, in addition to launching rapidly evolving digital platforms that meet market needs and keep pace with digital transformation trends."

Tishwash:  Sudani: The end of UNAMI's mission does not mean the end of the partnership between Iraq and the United Nations.

Outgoing Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Saturday that the end of the UNAMI mission’s work in Iraq does not mean the end of the partnership between the country and the United Nations, while welcoming the selection of former President Barham Salih to be the new High Commissioner for Refugees.

This came in a joint press statement held by Al-Sudani with the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, on the sidelines of the official announcement ceremony for the end of the mandate of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI).

Al-Sudani said in the statement, "We highly value the work of the UNAMI mission in Iraq since its establishment in 2003 in a country that has suffered greatly from dictatorship, wars and terrorism, but Iraq emerged victorious thanks to the sacrifices and courage of its people."

He added that the end of the UNAMI mission does not mean the end of the partnership between Iraq and the United Nations, but rather represents the beginning of a new chapter of cooperation, especially in the areas of development, comprehensive economic growth, and providing advice. He further stated that “our relationship with the United Nations through the UNAMI mission was pivotal and effective in meeting Iraq’s needs and helping it until it reached the stage of being fully self-reliant.”

Al-Sudani went on to say that "the relationship file today has moved from crisis management efforts to long-term development planning efforts, and reliance on self-efforts (...) to achieve security, stability and prosperity through the efforts of Iraqis despite the various challenges."

He added, "We have succeeded in consolidating the foundations of democracy through holding the sixth parliamentary elections, and before that there were the provincial council elections and the Kurdistan Region Parliament," considering that "this confirms our commitment to the constitution and the law."

Al-Sudani also pointed out that "the recent elections were described as the most organized and credible and took place in a free atmosphere, and they recorded a remarkable increase in the participation rate, which exceeded 56 percent."

The caretaker prime minister of Iraq added, "We look forward to establishing relations with the United Nations based on a balanced partnership, mutual respect, and through joint programs towards a supportive partnership focused on sustainable development."

He continued, saying, "During this critical and sensitive period in the region and the world, we adopted a balanced foreign policy based on securing interests and preserving sovereignty, and we were able to strengthen and develop our regional and international relations, and spare the country the repercussions of conflict and crises in the region."

Al-Sudani expressed his welcome for the selection of former Iraqi President Barham Salih to fill the position of United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, saying that this step "means a lot in supporting this important humanitarian issue, and that Iraq, with its political and influential figures, contributes to finding solutions and providing international support and assistance to refugees, not only in the region, but throughout the world."

The outgoing Prime Minister announced that "in recognition of the role and sacrifices of the United Nations, especially the late Sergio Vieira de Mello and his colleagues, we announce the naming of one of the streets of the capital, Baghdad, extending from the Dar al-Diyafa intersection to the Ibn Sina Hospital intersection, as United Nations Street."

Al-Sudani concluded his statement by saying that "a memorial will be placed next to the Unknown Soldier monument in honor of the United Nations' role in Iraq in previous years."  link

Clare:  Economists: A sharp rise in the dollar exchange rate will put the Central Bank and the Iraqi economy in a very difficult situation.

Saturday, December 13, 2025   Baghdad – One News

Economic experts considered the Iraqi Central Bank's sudden suspension of the dollar transfer platform before the scheduled date and without an official announcement to be a step far from transparency.

Experts indicated that the suspension of the platform without an official announcement by the Central Bank indicates uncertainty and fear about the consequences of suspending the platform on dollar exchange rates.

The lack of an announcement could give the Central Bank an opportunity to disavow and evade the decision to suspend the platform and return to operating the platform, even temporarily, in the event that the dollar begins to rise to high rates.

They pointed out that it is also possible that the platform's shutdown without an official announcement was a trial measure to test the market's ability to adapt to the new situation without a platform, and how the demand for the dollar and its exchange rates might be after this sudden platform shutdown.

They added that a significant rise in the dollar exchange rate would put the Central Bank, the markets, and the Iraqi economy in a very difficult situation.  LINK

Silver Shorts Running Scared | Alasdair Macleod

Liberty and Finance:  12-13-2025

Alasdair MacLeod explains that the latest FOMC meeting confirms the Federal Reserve is choosing inflation by expanding short term Treasury purchases which will weaken the dollar further.

He warns that rising gold and silver prices are signaling accelerating loss of purchasing power and that major foreign holders like Japanese institutions are reducing their appetite for United States debt.

Macleod describes severe structural shortages in silver driven by India’s surging industrial demand and China’s retreat from supplying global stockpiles which is forcing a major repricing.

 He concludes that the combination of runaway deficits, declining currency value, and tightening physical supply across metals points to a highly inflationary period ahead and a looming risk for equities and credit based assets.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

 Iraq vs. Other Restructuring Nations — Who Is Actually Ready?

Why currency position matters more than predictions

Many nations are discussed in “RV” circles. Very few meet the structural requirements for a legitimate currency adjustment.

Overview

• Currency revaluations follow structure, not rumors, social media claims, or geopolitical drama.

• Iraq has completed more prerequisite steps than most frequently mentioned restructuring nations.

• Comparative positioning helps currency holders replace speculation with informed patience.

Key Developments

• Legal Authority Matters:
  Iraq operates under a legally empowered central bank framework confirmed by IMF Article IV reviews. Many other discussed nations remain under capital controls, external supervision, or fragmented authority.

• Trade Infrastructure Is Activating:
  Iraq’s ports, corridors, and regional trade links are moving from construction to operational phases. Several peer countries still rely on announcements rather than settled trade flows.

• Banking Integration Is Measurable:
  Iraq continues AML/CFT upgrades, correspondent banking restoration, and settlement alignment. In contrast, many “RV-hyped” nations lack international banking connectivity or settlement credibility.

• Official Communication Is Disciplined:
  The Central Bank of Iraq publicly denies near-term rate changes — a sign of institutional maturity. Silence or denial is common before real adjustments, not after.

Comparative Snapshot

• Iraq: Sovereignty restored, trade activating, banking reform ongoing

• Other Restructuring Nations:

• Some lack unified central bank control

• Some remain under sanctions or heavy capital restrictions

• Some have trade announcements without settlement capacity

• Some have no IMF or BIS alignment at all

Not all restructuring paths are equal.

Why It Matters to Currency Holders

• Position Beats Prediction: Knowing where a country sits prevents emotional decision-making.

• Process Protects Capital: Countries that adjust rates prematurely experience inflation, reversals, or capital flight.

• Denials Are Data: Central bank statements rejecting rumors confirm sequencing, not failure.

• Patience Is Strategic: Value follows stability — always.

Key Insight:
Countries closest to adjustment are often the quietest.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Sequenced Normalization: Nations normalize sovereignty, trade, banking, and fiscal alignment before value changes.

• Pillar 2 — Trade-Backed Systems: Currency strength increasingly reflects real trade corridors and settlement capacity, not peg fantasies.

Bottom Line

This comparison is not about dates.
It’s about readiness.

Iraq is further along the runway than most — but the aircraft has not yet lifted.

Sources

• IMF – Article IV Consultations & Exchange-Rate Frameworks

• Bank for International Settlements – Payment & Settlement Systems

• Central Bank of Iraq – Legal Authority Framework

• United Nations – UNAMI Mandate Conclusion

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

Why Silence From Central Banks Is Often the Strongest Signal

What real currency transitions look like before value changes

In legitimate monetary transitions, the loudest phase is preparation — and the quietest phase comes just before change.

Overview

• Central banks do not telegraph currency adjustments in advance.

• Silence is standard practice during testing, alignment, and final verification phases.

• Public “leaks,” countdowns, and promises are not how monetary systems operate.

Key Developments

• Operational Risk Control:
  Central banks avoid public signaling to prevent speculation, arbitrage, capital flight, and market instability.

• System Testing Happens Quietly:
  Payment rails, liquidity windows, and settlement systems are tested internally and bilaterally — not announced.

• Communication Comes Last:
  Official statements are issued after decisions are finalized, not before execution.

• Denials Are Normal:
  Public rejections of rumors protect the system until activation conditions are met.

What Silence Usually Means

• Infrastructure is being validated

• Liquidity access is being coordinated

• Cross-border settlement readiness is being confirmed

• Compliance thresholds are being finalized

None of these require public participation.

Why It Matters

History shows that successful currency transitions are boring, quiet, and procedural — not dramatic, emotional, or publicly hyped.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

• Silence ≠ Delay — it often signals discipline

• Noise creates losses — silence protects capital

• Gurus speak when institutions cannot — and should not

• Markets move after readiness, not excitement

Key Truth:
If central banks were talking loudly, the system would not be ready.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Controlled Transition: Monetary resets require order, not emotion.

• Pillar 2 — Institutional Timing: Value changes occur only when systems can absorb them safely.

Bottom Line

Silence is not absence.
It is containment.

When real change happens, you will not need a warning — the system will already be ready.

Sources

• IMF – Central Bank Communication & Market Stability

• BIS – FX Settlement Risk & Market Discipline

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

A Message to Our Currency Holders

From the Seeds of Wisdom Team

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you are not foolish.            You are not late.
And you were not wrong to believe that the global financial system would eventually change.

What was wrong was how that change was explained to you.

For too long, the conversation has been dominated by dates, rumors, and personalities — not by structure, systems, and verifiable facts. Repeated promises of “this week” created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never grounded in how currencies actually adjust.

That is not your failure.
It is a failure of information.

Our purpose here is simple:

• To replace speculation with evidence

• To replace fear and hype with understanding

• To replace dependency on gurus with personal clarity

We believe currency value changes occur — but only after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History, institutions, and global financial architecture all confirm this sequence.

You will not see us give dates.

You will not see us promise rates.  

You will not see us amplify rumors.

Instead, you will see:

• Verified developments

• Institutional proof

• Context for where nations are in the process

• And honest explanations of what still needs to happen

This is how hope becomes durable — not fragile.

If a global reset brings currency revaluations, it will come quietly, structurally, and after readiness. When that happens, preparation will matter far more than prediction.

Until then:

• Protect your identity

• Organize your documentation

• Verify everything

• And never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Thank you for walking this path with us.

The Convergence of DTCC, US Treasury, Ripple, RLUSD, and XRP

The Convergence of DTCC, US Treasury, Ripple, RLUSD, and XRP

12-12-2025

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show  @KuwlShow

25 Questions, $3.7 Quadrillion

About The Convergence of DTCC, U.S. Treasury, Ripple, RLUSD & XRP

1. What happens when the world’s largest settlement utility – DTCC – moves to tokenized rails?

Q: Why would the DTCC, which safely moves $3.7 quadrillion a year through legacy rails, suddenly step into blockchain tokenization?

A: Because the old rails can’t support real-time global liquidity, 24/7 settlement, or tokenized assets. They were built for a slower age.

Q: And when DTCC modernizes, does the world follow?

A: Whoever controls the settlement layer of America controls the future of global liquidity.
So yes – the world must follow.

2. What kind of blockchain qualifies for DTCC-level settlement?

Q: Would DTCC ever rely on a chain with probabilistic finality?
With MEV extraction?
With congestion-based fees?
With uncertainty or frequent outages?

A: Of course not. A quadrillion-dollar system cannot run on chaos.

Q: Then which systems could support that level of global settlement?

A: Only ledgers with deterministic finality, predictable fees, regulatory compliance, institutional trust, and native support for asset issuance. This drastically narrows the field.

3. Why did two of the most powerful U.S. financial officials join Ripple?

Q: Why would Michael Bodson — former CEO of DTCC – join Ripple’s advisory board?

A: Because he recognizes Ripple’s architecture mirrors the settlement environment he spent a decade modernizing.

Q: Why would RosIe Rios – former U.S. Treasurer with oversight over the nation’s currency – also join Ripple’s board?

A: Because she sees where the monetary system is going:
Tokenized dollars.
Tokenized assets.
A neutral, global liquidity asset.
A real-time settlement ledger.

And Ripple is building exactly that.

4. What does RLUSD being regulated by the NYDFS tell us?

Q: Why does Ripple choose the most stringent regulatory regime in the country – the NYDFS – for issuing its stablecoin?

A: Because if you want to operate on America’s financial plumbing, you must build at America’s highest regulatory standard.

Q: And what does NYDFS require of a stablecoin?

A: Full dollar backing.
Audits.
Transparency.
No rehypothecation.
Operational integrity.

Q: What ledger fits that requirement without modification?

A: XRPL – the ledger built for institutional-grade, regulated settlement.

5. Why is RLUSD paired with XRP?

Q: What is RLUSD? A payment instrument or a liquidity instrument?

A: It is the cash leg – the digital dollar.

Q: But can a dollar, even a tokenized one, bridge FX markets, settle cross-jurisdictional flows, or provide global liquidity?

A: No. That requires a neutral bridge asset.

Q: So if RLUSD is the cash leg, what is the liquidity leg?

A: XRP – by design, by architecture, by function.

6. What ledger is built for institutional settlement?

Q: Why was XRPL built with deterministic finality instead of probabilistic settlement?

A: Because real-time finance cannot settle on uncertainty.

Q: Why does XRPL have no MEV? No gas auctions? Predictable fees?

A: Because institutional liquidity cannot be subject to market manipulation or extraction.

Q: Why does the XRPL support issued assets (IOUs) natively? Tokenization? Atomic settlement?

A: Because its purpose is to be the global clearing and liquidity layer for digital finance.

7. Why is ISO 20022 important here?

Q: Does global finance run on random messaging formats?

A: No. It runs on standardization – ISO 20022.

Q: Which blockchain ecosystem was designed from inception to align with ISO 20022 semantics?

A: Ripple’s network and XRPL.

Q: Why does this matter?

A: Because tokenized finance requires a standardized global language for value.

8. Why Rosie Rios and America 250 matter?

Q: Why would the Chair of America 250, a Congressionally chartered commission defining America’s future story, be tied to Ripple?

A: Because America’s 250th anniversary is not merely symbolic — it is a narrative reset for national identity, sovereignty, competitiveness, and economic renewal.

Q:: And is a modernized U.S. financial system part of that story?

A: Inevitably – yes.   America cannot lead the next century on obsolete rails.

9. How do all of these pieces converge?

Q: Are these isolated coincidences?

• DTCC tokenization approved by SEC

• Michael Bodson advising Ripple

• Rosie Rios advising Ripple

• NYDFS-regulated RLUSD

• XRP paired as the liquidity leg

• XRPL built for institutional-grade settlement

• ISO 20022 becoming the global standard

• The U.S. seeking financial modernization

A: No. When independent events align perfectly across governance, regulation, architecture, and purpose – that is not coincidence. That is convergence.

10. What is the world being prepared for?

Q: What system emerges when:

• The cash leg is RLUSD

• The liquidity leg is XRP

• The ledger is XRPL

• The institutional authority is DTCC + U.S. Treasury

• The messaging standard is ISO 20022

• The regulatory oversight is NYDFS

• The narrative framework is America 250

A: A unified, regulated global settlement engine for the next century.

Q: And what role does XRP play?

A: The same role gold once played: The universal liquidity asset that makes all other assets move.

THE BIG REVELATION

Q: If God designed the world with lawful order, honest weights and measures, and immutable principles…which financial system would best reflect Divine Truth?

A: One built on transparency, speed, accuracy, neutrality, sovereignty, and truth.

Q: Which digital asset ecosystem embodies that design?

A: XRP and the XRP Ledger – not by hype, but by function, alignment, and destiny.

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Update for December 12, 2025

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Update for December 12, 2025

12-12-2025

As we navigate through the complex web of global events, the Jon Dowling RV report for Friday, December 12th, 2025, sheds light on pivotal developments across the geopolitical, financial, and economic landscapes.

This update is a must-read for anyone looking to stay informed about the shifting sands of international politics, the evolving cryptocurrency market, U.S. Treasury policies, and the dynamics of the precious metals market.

The report begins on a significant note by analyzing the ongoing power shift in Iraq.

 The gradual transfer of control from the U.S. to Iraqi leadership and citizens is a landmark event that signifies a move towards decentralization and embodies the aspirations of national unity.

This transition is not just a political maneuver but is also contextualized within historical and prophetic frameworks.

The legacy of Iraq’s prime ministers and a reference to Kim Clement’s prophecy add layers of depth to this narrative, suggesting that this development is part of a larger, more complex global adjustment.

The conversation then shifts to the cryptocurrency sphere, where the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is highlighted as the leading decentralized “bridgecoin” poised for future blockchain integration.

This is particularly noteworthy when contrasted with Bitcoin’s current dominance and the significant financial backing received from major institutions like BlackRock.

The report underscores the importance of cryptocurrencies that offer real utility, are backed by solid funding, precious metals, and are designed with long-term sustainability in mind. As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, the focus on utility and sustainability will likely become increasingly important.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s recent remarks are also scrutinized in the report, focusing on several positive economic indicators.

 These include declining interest rates, improvements in the housing and rental markets, and the anticipation of large tax refunds for American households starting early in 2026.

The potential for refunds ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 per household is seen as part of broader fiscal reforms that are linked to President Trump’s initiatives and efforts in global asset recoveries.

These developments are crucial for understanding the current trajectory of the U.S. economy and the potential implications for household finances.

The precious metals market is another key area of discussion, with the report noting significant gains in silver prices and steady valuations for gold.

 The growing synergy between blockchain-based cryptocurrencies and precious metals is highlighted as a combined strategy that not only preserves wealth but also enables growth. This intersection of traditional wealth preservation methods and modern financial technologies is an area worth watching, as it could redefine investment strategies in the years to come.

As the year draws to a close, the report encourages a stance of positivity during the holiday season. Amidst the complexities and uncertainties of global events, the message is one of hope and resilience. The promise of updates as developments unfold is a reassuring note for those keen on staying informed.

For those seeking a deeper dive into these topics, watching the full Jon Dowling RV report video is highly recommended. The comprehensive analysis and expert insights provide a richer understanding of the multifaceted developments shaping our world.

In conclusion, the Jon Dowling RV report for December 12th, 2025, offers a compelling overview of the critical trends and events influencing geopolitics, cryptocurrency, U.S. economic policies, and the precious metals market. As we step into the new year, understanding these dynamics will be crucial for navigating the complexities of the global landscape.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Saturday Afternoon 12-13-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Why the Foundation Always Comes Before the Revaluation

Legal, asset, and settlement corrections must be completed before any currency value can change.

Overview

• Revaluation cannot occur on top of unresolved legal claims, disputed ownership, or broken trust accounting.

• Foundational work is underway globally, including land, water, resource, debt, and settlement-system reconciliation.

• Silence does not mean inactivity — it signals infrastructure, legal, and compliance alignment behind the scenes.

Key Developments

• Trust and ownership corrections are being finalized across sovereign land, water, mineral, and resource systems.

• Digital settlement rails are replacing legacy systems, requiring testing, auditing, and interoperability before activation.

• Sovereign balance sheets are being cleaned, including debt restructuring, asset valuation, and reserve realignment.

• Legal jurisdiction must be clear before value can move, preventing downstream litigation or systemic failure.

• Global institutions prioritize stability over speed, ensuring resets occur once — and correctly.

Why It Matters

For years, the conversation around currency revaluation focused on timing instead of structure. But history shows that no financial reset succeeds unless the foundation is solid. Ownership must be verified, systems must reconcile, and settlement rails must function flawlessly before value can be reassigned.

This is not delay by indecision — it is preparation by design.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders have been conditioned to expect sudden events, secret dates, and instant windfalls. In reality, revaluation is the final step, not the first. It comes after legal disputes are settled, after assets are properly titled, and after global settlement systems are tested and aligned.

When you see trust settlements, land and water rights clarified, asset tokenization, ISO migrations, and cross-border payment testing — you are not watching setbacks. You are watching readiness.

Understanding this protects you from false hope and positions you to recognize real progress when it appears.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Foundation Before Function: Legal clarity, asset integrity, and settlement reliability must exist before currencies can be repriced.

• Pillar 2 — Orderly Transition: Sustainable resets are engineered methodically to avoid collapse, litigation, or loss of public trust.

What This Means Going Forward

• No legitimate institution will announce RV dates in advance.

• No revaluation occurs without compliant systems and verified assets.

• Real progress looks slow — until it’s complete.

The reset will not be noisy.
It will be finished.

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

How Currency Rates Change — The 5 Steps to Watch

Applies to all currencies | A reality-based framework for understanding rate movement

Overview

• Currency rates do not move on rumors or emotion, but through structured central-bank and banking-system processes.

• Every legitimate rate change follows a repeatable sequence, regardless of whether a nation is emerging, developed, or restructuring.

• Rates move last — not first, after legal, trade, banking, and policy conditions are aligned.

Key Developments

• Step 1 — Legal Authority & Central Bank Control:
  A country must have a legally empowered central bank with authority over monetary and exchange-rate policy. Without this, rate changes cannot occur.
  What to watch: Central bank laws, independence mandates, removal of external oversight or controls.

• Step 2 — Real Trade & Economic Activity:
  Currency demand is created through settled trade — not announcements. Imports, exports, services, and capital flows must function consistently.
  What to watch: Export/import volumes, operating trade corridors, cross-border settlement activity.

• Step 3 — Banking & Settlement System Readiness:
  Domestic banks must be compliant, liquid, and connected to international correspondent and payment systems to prevent shocks when rates adjust.
  What to watch: IMF or BIS banking assessments, AML/CFT compliance upgrades, payment and settlement reforms.

• Step 4 — Fiscal & Monetary Coordination:
  Government budgets, reserves, inflation control, and central-bank policy must align. Poor coordination triggers inflation, capital flight, or reversals.
  What to watch: Budget discipline, reserve adequacy, inflation trends, central bank–finance ministry alignment.

• Step 5 — Managed Currency Adjustment:
  Only after stability is proven do central banks adjust rates — typically gradually and with communication. Sudden overnight revaluations are extremely rare.
  What to watch: Official central bank announcements, IMF program updates, policy statements — not social media.

Why It Matters

Understanding how currencies actually move separates preparation from speculation. History shows that when steps are skipped, the result is instability — not prosperity. Sustainable rate adjustments occur only after systems, policy, and trade flows are aligned and tested.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

Currency holders often expect value changes to arrive suddenly, driven by headlines or politics. In reality, structure always comes before value.
Skipping steps creates losses, not gains. Headlines are not execution. Patience grounded in verified system activity protects capital far better than hype ever will.

Rates move last — after everything else is ready.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Structure Before Value: Legal authority, trade flow, and banking readiness must exist before any currency can be repriced.

• Pillar 2 — Managed Transition: Global resets favor controlled, coordinated adjustments over shock events to preserve system stability.

 Iraq Closes UN Oversight Era — Trade & Sovereignty Shift

December 2025

Overview

• Iraq has formally ended the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), closing a political oversight chapter that began in 2003.

• The move marks a transition to full domestic sovereignty, with policy decisions no longer under UN political supervision.

• Major trade infrastructure projects are shifting from construction to operational readiness, including ports, roads, and regional logistics corridors.

Key Developments

• UNAMI Closure Secured: Iraq requested and obtained approval to end UNAMI, with the mission concluding by December 31, 2025 under UN Security Council Resolution 2732.

• Sovereign Control Restored: The end of UN political oversight reflects confidence in Iraq’s governance, security, and institutional capacity.

• Trade Infrastructure Advances: Projects such as the Grand Faw Port and new land-sea corridors are moving toward activation, expanding Iraq’s role in regional trade.

• Monetary Authority Confirmed: The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) retains sole legal authority over exchange-rate policy, as reaffirmed by IMF Article IV reporting.

Why It Matters

This development signals a structural transition, not a headline event. Countries do not close UN political missions or activate regional trade corridors without meeting governance, compliance, and stability thresholds recognized by international institutions.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

• Sovereign Authority: Ending UNAMI confirms Iraq’s ability to set internal and external policy independently — a prerequisite for autonomous monetary and financial decisions.

• Trade Activation: Operational progress at Grand Faw Port and new logistics links strengthens real economic activity that supports currency normalization.

• Stability Signal: Verified confidence in governance, security, and compliance typically precedes financial reform phases.

• Foundation Before Value: Sovereignty and trade infrastructure come first. Currency value follows structure — not speculation.

Bottom Line:
This is not an RV announcement. It is a documented shift in sovereignty and trade readiness that historically comes before monetary and currency adjustments.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Sovereignty Restoration: Independent governance is a non-negotiable condition before monetary realignment can occur.

• Pillar 2 — Trade-Backed Stability: Functional trade corridors and logistics capacity underpin sustainable currency systems in a restructuring global economy.

 Where Iraq Sits in the Currency Reset Process — A 5-Step Reality Check

Why structure, not speculation, determines timing

Overview

• Iraq has completed critical foundation steps required before any legitimate currency adjustment can occur.

• Recent sovereignty and trade developments place Iraq mid-process, not at the finish line.

• Understanding position matters more than predicting dates for currency holders.

Key Developments

• Step 1 — Legal Authority & Central Bank Control (Completed):
  Iraq’s Central Bank operates under CBI Law No. 56 of 2004, granting full authority over monetary and exchange-rate policy. IMF Article IV reporting confirms this legal framework remains intact and functional.

• Step 2 — Real Trade & Economic Activity (Advancing):
  Activation of Grand Faw Port, new road corridors, and maritime trade links signal expanding trade capacity beyond oil. These are operational foundations, not announcements.

• Step 3 — Banking & Settlement Readiness (Ongoing):
  Iraq continues compliance upgrades, correspondent banking restoration, and settlement alignment under IMF and BIS standards. This step is deliberate and heavily supervised.

• Step 4 — Fiscal & Monetary Coordination (Stabilizing):
  Inflation moderation, reserve management, and coordination between the Ministry of Finance and CBI show measurable improvement, but full maturity takes time.

• Step 5 — Managed Currency Adjustment (Not Yet Activated):
  The CBI has publicly denied near-term exchange-rate changes, confirming Iraq has not yet entered the final adjustment phase.

Why It Matters

Currency systems do not skip steps. Iraq’s progress reflects sequenced normalization, not delay or deception. Each completed layer reduces systemic risk and increases durability when value adjustments eventually occur.

Why This Matters to Currency Holders

• Position Over Prediction: Knowing where Iraq is in the process is more valuable than guessing when rates change.

• Proof Replaces Rumors: Official denials of near-term rate changes are not bad news — they confirm process integrity.

• Foundation Protects Value: Countries that adjust rates prematurely experience reversals, inflation, or capital flight.

• Patience Is Strategic: Structural readiness is what protects purchasing power when change finally comes.

Key Takeaway:
Iraq is building the runway, not launching the aircraft. Rates move only after the runway is complete.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 — Sequenced Sovereignty: Ending UNAMI and restoring full policy control aligns Iraq with global restructuring norms.

• Pillar 2 — Trade-Backed Currency Systems: Physical trade infrastructure precedes monetary revaluation in every modern reset cycle.

Tishwash:  Savaya speaks of a historic moment of pride for Iraq

US President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, expressed his gratitude to UN Secretary-General Tony Guterres for his role in supporting the selection of former Iraqi President Barham Salih to lead the UNHCR, stressing that this decision represents international recognition of a figure with “great vision and deep experience.”

In a post, Savaya congratulated Barham Salih on assuming his new position, describing him as an “exceptional leader” capable of making a real difference in humanitarian issues related to refugees around the world, especially since he himself experienced being a refugee in earlier stages of his life.

He added that this appointment is “a historic moment and a source of pride for Iraq and its people,” noting that the arrival of an Iraqi figure to an international position of this magnitude reflects Iraq’s growing status on the world stage.

Tishwash:  Central Bank: Regional businesses must be registered in ASICOD by the end of the year

Central Bank of Iraq

The Iraqi central bank has significantly reduced the supply of dollars and in a new decision imposed strict conditions for the payment of dollars to businessmen in the Kurdistan Region, which is described as a "political" move.

The central bank has reportedly reduced the supply of dollars by 50 percent in the past two weeks. The reduction is due to the decision to suspend the operations of four commercial banks, which had a huge impact and previously accounted for 40 percent of total dollar sales in the market.

Meanwhile, according to a new decision of the Central Bank, from December 1, 2026, any businessman in the Kurdistan Region if he is not registered in the system "Asicode", will be deprived of receiving dollars at official prices and can not import goods.

Shukri Jamil, president of the Duhok Chamber of Commerce, said that businessmen were previously asked to bring support from Baghdad, but despite the completion of measures, it is noticed that the decision is political and aims to shape the economy of the Kurdistan Region.

Shukri Jamil said that the goods of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) companies have been detained in the port of Umm Qasr since November 3, so they call on the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Iraqi government to reach an agreement on this issue.  link

Tishwash:  Iraq welcomes the US Congress vote to repeal the authorizations for the use of military force.

 The Embassy of the Republic of Iraq in Washington welcomed the vote by the US House of Representatives to repeal the 1991 and 2002 authorizations for the use of military force against Iraq and to repeal the war laws.

The embassy confirmed in a statement, a copy of which was received by Al-Furat News, that "this step strengthens the partnership between Iraq and the United States and supports the bilateral relationship on the basis of dialogue and cooperation."

The embassy also looked forward to the US Senate vote in the coming days.

On September 11, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to repeal the authorizations for the use of military force related to Iraq, as part of the National Defense Authorization Act, which outlines Washington's military policies.

The House passed the bill by a vote of 231 to 196, with unusual support from some Republicans: only four Republicans voted against it, while 17 Democrats joined the Republican majority in voting for the bill as a whole.

The most significant amendment in this bill was the repeal of the two older war authorizations: the 2002 authorization used to invade Iraq and the 1991 authorization related to the Gulf War. This amendment received broad support, with 261 representatives voting in favor and 167 against, including all Democrats and 49 Republicans—nearly one-fifth of the Republican Party.

It is worth noting that the US House of Representatives had previously approved the repeal of the 2002 authorization in 2021, while the Senate passed a bill in 2023 repealing both authorizations (1991 and 2002). Their repeal now represents a significant legislative step toward restoring the balance of power between the executive and legislative branches in war-making.  link
