Legislative Elections Are A Political Guarantee For Economic Growth And Stability.

Dr. Haitham Hamid Mutlaq Al-Mansour   Economy News — Baghdad  Legislative elections in Iraq are a pivotal part of the political process, as they are the legal and legitimate link that ensures the peaceful transfer and transformation of power and works to achieve the necessary prerequisites and basic requirements for the process of building the state in all its parts and the proper growth of society.

The impact of elections on the economy is tangible, but indirect, by conferring legitimacy on the government resulting from elections with strong public approval and legislative parliamentary consensus, from which it derives the necessary legitimacy to make crucial reform decisions, such as reducing subsidies, restructuring the public sector, stimulating the private sector, reducing rent-seeking, and expanding sources of income or GDP.

However, weak voter turnout in elections undermines this legitimacy and reflects a loss of confidence in ruling parties and elites. Framing political conflict rather than resolving it often leads elections to redistribute power among political elites (a recalibration of power) instead of bringing about change or improvement in the landscape of achievement.

This is compounded by the stagnation of the existing political system, which creates fragile alliances that hinder the formation of governments incapable of implementing a long-term strategic vision for economic reform.

The electoral programs presented by political parties and blocs largely lack clear funding frameworks and specific implementation mechanisms. Furthermore, promises to create jobs and combat corruption are likely to remain mere slogans in the absence of realistic financial plans and measurable performance indicators.

However, with the growing political activism, the continued practice of political experimentation, and the clear improvement in the government's performance in providing essential services and completing a significant portion of important projects—despite numerous shortcomings—optimism prevails that the electoral competition between political parties and blocs of all stripes and orientations could produce a bloc capable of reforming the government.

This bloc would undertake the task of advancing the country and building upon past achievements by embracing the requirements of the transition towards development and investment.

This would transform elections from mere political representation into a genuine catalyst for stability and economic growth, through a commitment to implementing several key elements of the state's policy and government program.

1. Political Will to Combat Corruption: The incoming government must possess the political will to confront the entrenched corruption networks within state institutions. This requires strengthening oversight bodies such as the Integrity Commission and the Financial Control Bureau, granting them greater executive powers.

 It also necessitates working towards the success of systems like the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), which ensures transparent and auditable financial operations.

2. Structural reform of the economy: There must be a serious shift from a rentier, oil-dependent economy to a diversified one. This requires redirecting public spending from current consumption to investment in infrastructure projects that stimulate the private sector.

3. Active community participation and oversight: Sustained pressure from citizens, independent media, and civil society organizations can play a pivotal role in holding the government accountable and demanding transparency. Demanding the publication of contracts and monitoring project budgets can prevent the waste of public funds.

To ensure that the elections produce a government capable of leading economic development, its policies must focus on building strong and stable institutions by concentrating on the following steps:

1. Reforming the legislative framework: Iraq needs to adopt a "sound legislation" approach to ensure that laws are coherent, enforceable, and meet the real economic needs of society. Laws should focus on promoting transparency, combating corruption, and protecting property rights.

2. Structural reform of the economy: The primary objective is to transition from an oil-dependent economy to a diversified economy. This requires a national plan to develop non-oil sectors such as agriculture, industry, trade, tourism, and services.

3. Stimulating the private sector and investment: This can be achieved by building a policy to support procedures for opening companies, reducing taxes on new and productive investments, and providing credit facilities for small and medium enterprises.

4. Public Finance Reform: Restructuring government spending to reduce current expenditures and increase the share of investment spending in infrastructure, education, health, and other sectors that would create a solid foundation for long-term growth. Working towards harmonious formulation of fiscal and monetary policies to reduce overlap and minimize the negative effects of their intersection, and even unifying fiscal objectives and striving for a common economic vision between them.

In short, parliamentary elections are a necessary but not sufficient condition for achieving economic stability in Iraq. They represent a window of opportunity for change, but the real guarantee lies in changing the political rules that govern the equation, building a national consensus on a long-term reform program, and creating a new relationship based on transparency between citizens and the government.https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62145

Oil Rises Amid Moves To End Historic US Government Shutdowny

Economy | 09:11 - 10/11/2025  Mawazin News - Follow-up:  The US Senate is moving toward a vote to reopen the federal government, and oil prices have risen amid optimism that the historic government shutdown, now in its 40th day, will end.

Oil prices climbed on hopes that the US government shutdown could end soon and boost demand in the world's largest oil consumer, offsetting concerns about rising global supplies.

Brent crude futures rose 47 cents, or 0.74 percent, to $64.10 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures reached $60.25 a barrel, up 50 cents, or 0.84 percent.

The Iraqi dinar without zeros: The Central Bank of Iraq launches a historic reform.

TNT:

Tishwash:  The Iraqi dinar without zeros: The Central Bank of Iraq launches a historic reform.

Written by Dr. Subhi Jabara…

Research and writing by: Dr. Subhi Jabara

The Central Bank of Iraq has officially confirmed that it is moving forward with its long-awaited “zero-zero” project, a massive financial reform that will fundamentally reshape the country’s economy and its standing on the global stage.

In a series of statements, the Central Bank Governor emphasized that the project is not mere speculation but a concrete initiative that has generated considerable enthusiasm and interest in international financial circles

 This ambitious project aims to rename the Iraqi dinar by removing three zeros from its nominal value to better reflect the country's growing economic strength.

This move, which has been the subject of rumors for years, is currently under active development, with comprehensive studies and simulations having been completed.

 According to the Governor, the process will be gradual and meticulously planned to ensure financial stability while unlocking the currency's true potential. 

For years, the Iraqi dinar has suffered from a decline in its nominal value as a result of decades of conflict and economic instability.

The current exchange rate, hovering around an unofficial rate of 1,415 dinars to the US dollar, forces citizens to carry large amounts of cash for their daily transactions and complicates international trade and investment.

 The “zero-zero” project was designed to address this problem by simplifying the currency and aligning it with the country’s strong economic fundamentals, including robust oil revenues, expanding gold reserves, and deepening trade partnerships with global powers such as China, the United States, and the European Union

 While the Central Bank has been careful not to commit to a specific timeline, the confirmation that the project has begun marks a pivotal moment for Iraq. This represents a transition from post-war recovery to a new era of economic independence.

Signs of Reform: How Will “Removing Zeros” Work?

The phrase “removing zeros” may sound alarming, but it is a standard monetary policy tool known as currency revaluation.

 It is not a confiscation of wealth, but rather a recalibration of the currency's nominal value.

 In essence, 1,000 old Iraqi dinars will become 1 new dinar. Crucially, all prices, wages, and savings will be adjusted proportionally, ensuring that individuals' purchasing power remains stable at the moment of the shift

The real shift occurs in the subsequent adjustment of the exchange rate

The Central Bank has developed several scenarios, with internal studies predicting that the floating dinar could stabilize automatically at a value in the distant future between 3.22 and 4.25 dinars to the dollar.

The governor clarified that these figures are not a declared rate but rather an indicator of the currency's potential if it is allowed to float freely based on market demand and Iraq's economic fundamentals

Two main paths are being considered for the next phase.

Economists close to the central bank indicate that both options remain on the table. The choice will depend on the government's strategic priorities, whether it favors a gradual, market-driven adjustment or a swift and decisive reset.

 Either path would trigger one of the most significant currency transformations in the modern Middle East.

The economic driver: Why is now the right time for a stronger dinar?

 The timing of this reform is not coincidental. The Iraqi economy is at an evolutionary turning point.

The country's fiscal position has steadily improved, driven by several key factors:

Strong oil revenues:

As a leading producer in OPEC, Iraq's steady oil revenues provide a stable foundation for its economy and strong support for its currency.

Growing gold reserves:

The central bank is actively expanding its gold reserves, a traditional safe asset that enhances monetary stability and international credibility.

 Deepening trade partnerships:

 Iraq has developed strong trade relations with major global economies, including China, the United States, and the European Union, diversifying its economic interactions and reducing its dependence on any single partner.

Despite this strength, the nominal value of the dinar has been lagged, widening the gap between the official exchange rate and its true value.

Each time Iraq's GDP grows or its foreign reserves increase, this discrepancy becomes more pronounced.

The “zero-zero” project is the mechanism to close this gap, allowing the currency to finally reflect the country’s true wealth and economic progress

This reform is expected to have profound global implications.

Revaluing the Iraqi dinar would:

• Boost regional investment: A stable and strong currency would make Iraq a more attractive destination for foreign investment, thereby fostering economic growth throughout the region.

• Reduces dependence on the dollar: By re-pegging its currency into a diversified basket of currencies or commodities, Iraq can reduce its reliance on the US dollar for oil settlements, a move with significant geopolitical implications.

• Inspires monetary reform: It could inspire neighboring economies to reassess their monetary structures, potentially triggering a wave of fiscal modernization across the Middle East. For Iraq itself, this is more than just an economic adjustment; It is a step toward a historic fiscal renaissance, signaling Iraq's transition from post-war recovery to a future of economic independence and self-determination.

 A new chapter for Iraq: The way forward.

The central bank governor has emphasized that this reform is not a rash or hasty move; Every step is carefully measured, documented, and designed to maintain stability and public confidence. While the precise implementation timeline remains confidential, the confirmation that the project has begun and the preliminary studies are complete indicates that implementation is closer than ever.

When the reform takes place, whether through a gradual float or a sudden restructuring, it will permanently alter Iraq's fiscal identity.

The phrase “removing zeros,” as simple as it sounds, represents one of the most ambitious and complex financial engineering projects in the country’s modern history.

The central bank is not just changing numbers; It is redefining how Iraq interacts with the global economy. The world is watching closely.

The potential shift in the dinar's value, with projections ranging between 3.22 and 4.25 to the dollar, has captured the attention of investors, economists, and governments worldwide.

This is not just an economic story; it is history in motion. As Iraq stands on the precipice of this financial transformation, the message is clear: the nation is ready to transcend its past and write a new chapter of prosperity and strength. link

Saudi Arabia’s State-Backed Stablecoin — Gulf FinTech as a New Reserve Tool

Riyadh leads digital finance innovation under Vision 2030.

Overview
Saudi Arabia is pushing the creation of a nationally-issued stablecoin, regulated by its central bank and capital markets authority, as part of its strategy to modernize its financial system and reduce dollar-dependence. 

Key Developments

• The initiative has received endorsements from major cryptocurrency and digital-asset exchanges, positioning the Kingdom as a regional fintech leader. 

• 79 % of Saudi day-to-day transactions are now cashless, offering fertile ground for a digital-asset settlement infrastructure. 

• Industry commentary frames the move as a turning point for the Gulf’s digital-asset ecosystem, linking trade-settlement, cross-border payments and national sovereignty. 

Why It Matters
The stablecoin initiative is a concrete signal that monetary sovereignty and digital liquidity are becoming central to how states view reserve-currency architecture. For global finance, this marks a pivot: settlement systems may increasingly bypass legacy dollar plumbing, edging toward regional digital rails. Investors and global institutions must consider that reserve currency dynamics are evolving from dollars + bonds toward digital + asset-linked frameworks.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Currency & Reserve System — A national digital currency denotes a shift in reserve-system architecture.

• Pillar: Finance — Enhanced liquidity and settlement efficiency underpin new flows of capital in the Gulf.

• The story underlines that the global reset is not just about de-dollarisation, but about a re-engineering of how money, payment and credit are organised in a digital age.

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

Copper Crisis 2026 — Structural Deficit and the Green-Tech Squeeze

The world’s industrial backbone faces its largest shortage in two decades.

Overview
The global copper market is forecast to face its worst supply deficit in 22 years by 2026—estimated at around 590,000 tons—with potential widening by over 1 million tons by 2029. 

Key Developments

• Morgan Stanley projects copper prices will remain elevated into 2026, driven by supply disruptions and weaker U.S. dollar. 

• Analysts cite major mine disruptions, output contractions (first since 2020) and surging demand from AI data centres and electric-vehicle infrastructure as key drivers. 

• Reuters reports price forecasts rising to ~US $10,500 per metric ton in 2026, reflecting the structural squeeze in one of the world’s key industrial metals. 

Why It Matters
Copper is foundational for electrification, infrastructure and high-tech manufacturing. A structural shortage means inflationary pressure, shifts in mining investment, and potential bottlenecks in global growth. For global finance, this demonstrates that the physical commodity base remains a critical factor in any reset of asset valuations, trade flows and reserve hedging strategies.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Metals — Resource scarcity accelerates commodity-backed trade and alternative asset flows.

• Pillar: Markets — Supply constraints force investors to re-evaluate industrial-commodity exposure and inflation risk.

• The copper shortage reveals that the global reset is not only monetary, but deeply physical: scarcity of key materials will shape how the system is restructured.

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

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Syria’s Pivot to Washington — Realignment of the Middle East Order

Historic U.S.–Syria engagement marks a profound geopolitical shift.

Overview
Ahmed al‑Sharaa, President of Syria, is scheduled to meet with Donald Trump at the White House on 10 November 2025, representing the first official visit by a Syrian head of state to Washington in Syria’s modern history. This follows the U.S.’s recent move to lift several sanctions on Syria and open the door to reconstruction financing. 

Key Developments

• Ahmed al-Sharaa rose from rebel leader to Syrian president, overthrowing the long-standing regime of Bashar al‐Assad in late 2024. 

• The U.S. revoked the terrorist designation of Hayʾat Tahrir al‑Sham (HTS) in July 2025, facilitating engagement with Damascus. 

• The U.S. Treasury issued a licence authorising transactions with Syria’s interim government, central bank and state-enterprises. 

• The diplomatic agenda includes Syria’s participation in a U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition, possible U.S. military presence in Syria, and reconstruction investment estimated at over $200 billion. 

Why It Matters
This meeting signals more than bilateral diplomacy — it indicates a structural realignment in the Middle East. By moving away from Syria’s traditional alliances (Iran, Russia) toward U.S. and Gulf-Arab partners, Damascus becomes part of a new economic and security architecture. Access to Western capital and reconstruction funding can propel Syria from isolation into the global financial system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Diplomacy & Peace — Syria’s integration into the U.S./Gulf sphere restructures regional alliances.

• Pillar: Finance — Reconstruction spending and sanctions relief mark Syria’s entry into Western-backed capital flows.

• The shift reinforces the idea that diplomatic normalization now goes hand in hand with economic reintegration, underscoring how geopolitics and global finance are converging.

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

Japan–China Diplomatic Clash Exposes Fault Lines in Asian Security

Social media outburst reveals the fragility of regional diplomacy.

Overview
On 8 November 2025, Xue Jian, the Chinese Consul-General in Osaka, posted a threatening message on X (formerly Twitter) targeting Japan’s newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, prompting a formal protest by the Japanese government. 

Key Developments

• The post read: “We would have no choice but to cut off that dirty neck that has lunged at us without a moment’s hesitation.” The message was deleted shortly after publication. 

• Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary publicly decried the comments as “extremely inappropriate” and lodged a strong diplomatic protest with Beijing. 

• The U.S. ambassador to Japan echoed concerns, posting on X: “The mask slips — again.” in response to Xue’s remarks. 

• The incident occurs amid heightened tension over Taiwan and Japan’s evolving security posture, influencing regional stability. 

Why It Matters
This episode illustrates how digital diplomacy can escalate into full-blown geopolitical incidents. It reveals the fragility of Asia’s security architecture at a time when Japan is deepening its alignment with Western defence postures, and China is assertively responding. The spill-over into financial and supply-chain risk is real: investor sentiment, trade flows and regional stability are all vulnerable.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Diplomacy & Peace — A breakdown in diplomatic protocol signals rising system risk.

• Pillar: Markets — Escalation risks heighten volatility in Asian equities, bond markets and currency flows.

• The event underscores that in the emerging global reset, geopolitical risk is directly influencing financial and economic structures, not just military balances.

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

Russia Considers Nuclear Testing — Strategic Deterrence Resets

A return to Cold-War nuclear posturing underscores a shifting power order.

Overview
Vladimir Putin has instructed top Russian officials to draw up proposals for potentially resuming full-scale nuclear weapons testing, marking a dramatic reversal from the post-Cold-War status quo. 

Key Developments

• The order comes after U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would “immediately” resume testing nuclear weapons on an equal basis with other powers. 

• Russia has not carried out an explosive nuclear weapons test since 1990 (Soviet era). The move, if actualised, would escalate arms race dynamics. 

• Analysts say any renewed testing would trigger global ripple-effects: new missile defence races, scrambling of nuclear posture doctrines and higher sovereign risk premiums. 

Why It Matters
The potential resumption of nuclear tests by major powers signals that strategic arms control is unraveling. That increases the risk premium on government debt, puts pressure on safe-haven assets such as gold, and compels states to reassess the financial architecture underpinning global security. For investors and global institutions, this is not just a defence story—it’s a structural risk to the collateral underpinning the financial system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Metals — Heightened security risk boosts demand for precious metals as a hedge.

• Pillar: Diplomacy & Peace — Arms-control breakdown undermines trust across economic alliances.

• This scenario underlines how geopolitical denials of stability drive finance and currency regimes out of equilibrium, signalling a deeper reset of global architecture.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Morning 11-10-25

Exxonmobil CEO Optimistic About Returning To Iraq: We Need Guarantees

Posted on2025-11-09 by sotaliraq  ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods expressed optimism about the possibility of ExxonMobil returning to Iraq after the company signed a preliminary agreement to manage, develop and operate the Majnoon oil field in the south of the country.

Woods told Reuters that Exxon needs to ensure the investment is appropriate and to negotiate with the Iraqi government to ensure it is a mutually beneficial agreement, adding that the process is still in its early stages.

He added that oil and gas will play a crucial role for a long time to come, and raised a question about how long they will continue to be used as fuel.

According to Woods, while technological developments may change the use of hydrocarbons in the future, they will continue to be used for other purposes, such as the medical sector.

The CEO of ExxonMobil concluded by saying, “Crude oil and hydrocarbons will play a pivotal role in everyone’s lives for a long time to come.”

On October 8th, the Iraqi government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (HOA) between the Ministry of Oil and the American company ExxonMobil.

Iraq currently produces about four million barrels of oil per day, and aims to exceed six million barrels per day by 2029.

The Majnoon oil field is located 60 kilometers from Basra in southern Iraq, and is one of the largest oil fields in the world, with estimated reserves of about 38 billion barrels.  LINK

The World’s Secret Bank that Controls the Money Including the IQD

The World’s Secret Bank that Controls the Money Including the IQD

Edu Matrix:  11-9-2025

Ever wondered who truly pulls the levers in the grand theatre of global finance? While headlines often focus on national economies, stock markets, and government policies, there’s a powerful and largely unseen entity operating at the very apex of the financial world: the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).

Often dubbed the “central bank of central banks,” the BIS is not just another financial institution; it’s the ultimate overseer of global financial stability.

Imagine an exclusive club where the world’s most powerful financial minds gather to shape the future of money. That’s essentially the BIS.

With 63 member central banks under its umbrella, representing a staggering 95% of the world’s GDP, its influence is gargantuan, yet it largely operates behind the scenes. Headquartered in the serene city of Basel, Switzerland, the BIS is a testament to quiet power and strategic coordination.

But what truly sets the BIS apart, and why is it so crucial to understand its role?

One of the most striking aspects of the BIS, and a key to its unique power, is its sovereign immunity.

 This isn’t just a fancy legal term; it means the BIS effectively operates above national laws.

It grants this institution unparalleled discretion to manage, transfer, and influence vast sums of money without the typical legal scrutiny faced by other financial bodies. This extraordinary privilege allows it to function as a truly autonomous entity, making decisions that can ripple across continents with minimal public oversight.

Indeed, the operational context of the BIS is deeply intertwined with global events. The video touches on ongoing geopolitical developments like the Iraqi election and infrastructure investments in Iraq, as well as economic shifts in Venezuela.

These real-world scenarios provide a backdrop for understanding how the BIS’s decisions and influence can play out on the ground, affecting millions of lives and national destinies.

In an increasingly complex and interconnected world, understanding the BIS isn’t just for economists or financial elites. It’s crucial for anyone who wants to grasp the true dynamics of how money, power, and global stability intersect.

The central bank of central banks holds a master key to understanding why our financial world looks and acts the way it does.

To truly appreciate the depth of its power, its operational intricacies, and its profound impact on your financial future, you need to dive deeper.

Watch the full video from Edu Matrix for further insights and information that sheds light on this incredibly powerful, yet often overlooked, global institution. Don’t just follow the headlines; understand the forces that shape them.

Get Ready for the Biggest Financial Crisis yet

Get Ready for the Biggest Financial Crisis yet

Liberty and Finance:  11-8-2025

In an economic environment defined by volatility, soaring inflation, and mounting global debt, traditional financial strategies are failing to protect wealth.

In a recent, critical discussion on Liberty and Finance, host Kaiser Johnson spoke with returning guest Phil Low, founder of the Bitter Draft, to dissect the true dangers lurking beneath the market surface and outline a timeless strategy for financial survival.

Low’s analysis spans the source of our current troubles—dishonest banking—to the defensive architecture of the classical “gentleman’s portfolio,” offering vital clarity on how to navigate the inevitable bust.

Most people believe inflation is simply the cost of doing business. Phil Low argues it is far more insidious, stemming directly from dishonest banking practices that create credit bubbles.

According to Low, banks generate an “illusion of real loanable funds” using fake dollars, which are actually nothing more than artificially expanded credit.

This manufactured liquidity is misread by the market as genuine profit or real capital. The resulting credit expansion doesn’t fuel genuine economic growth; it merely fuels inflation, directing capital to unproductive ventures and creating a massive, unstable overhang of debt.

The danger is clear: when the market realizes these dollars are fake, the resulting collapse won’t just be a recession—it will be a violent unwinding of credit that has been mistaken for wealth.

What happens when the credit bubble finally bursts in a hyperinflationary scenario? Many fear total societal collapse marked by extreme violence.

Low addresses this soberly, drawing parallels to the economic chaos and violence seen in the Weimar Republic during the 1920s.

 While he agrees that social and political violence will increase as economic scarcity tightens its grip, he suggests that modern civilization is unlikely to be fully destroyed.

The key to preventing total societal collapse, Low emphasizes, is unleashing free markets. While the printing of money destroys capital, economic freedom allows real industry and productivity to emerge, effectively preventing mass starvation and dissolving the structural pressures that lead to chaos.

His advice for individuals during such a crisis is simple: maintain personal prudence and rely on proven, resilient assets.

In an unpredictable environment, where conventional wisdom (like the 60/40 stock-bond portfolio) is failing, Low advocates for a return to the classical “Gentleman’s Portfolio.” This strategy is built on diversification across three fundamental pillars of wealth, designed specifically to weather economic collapse and hyperinflation:

Precious metals serve as real money, offering unique liquidity and intrinsic value not tied to any government or banking system.

 Low stresses that gold and silver are essential tools for maintaining purchasing power and facilitating transactions during periods of monetary chaos.

Productive land offers stability, income potential, and the ability to sustain life regardless of the financial system’s health. This asset is the ultimate hedge against both currency devaluation and food scarcity.

While stocks and bonds represent exposure to the financial markets, they are critical because they represent real business investments. Even after a major crash, businesses that produce essential goods and services will continue to operate, offering a route back to wealth accumulation once stability returns.

This triple-diversified approach is crucial not just for balancing risk, but for mitigating the potential for theft, loss, or government confiscation—a very real threat during times of systemic distress.

Low’s advice is straightforward: look closely at the conditions of credit and scrutinize profitability. If a venture only appears rational because of unlimited, cheap credit, it is a bubble waiting to pop.

Ultimately, the best defense is preparedness founded on honesty. Phil Low champions a return to honest banking as the only true way to prevent future bubbles and crashes.

In the meantime, the responsibility falls to the individual to secure their capital. Low advises storing wealth in real money—gold and silver—to ensure protection from the inevitable burst.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

FINANCE & GLOBAL RESET — “BRICS Pay: The Quiet Engine of De-Dollarisation”
How a new payment platform is reshaping international settlement and undermining dollar dominance

Key Developments

• The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) are developing “BRICS Pay”, a cross-border digital payments/settlement platform designed to enable trade in local currencies and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar and the SWIFT network. 

• The foundational architecture draws on member-states’ national systems — e.g., India’s UPI, China’s CIPS, Russia’s SPFS, Brazil’s Pix — aiming for interoperability under the BRICS umbrella. 

• The 2024 summit in Kazan demonstrated a working prototype in Moscow (October 2024) and committed to greater use of local currencies in intra-BRICS trade. 

• However, multiple sources note significant technical, coordination and political hurdles: differing currency convertibility, divergent member-objectives, and integration challenges remain. 

Analysis — Why This Could Trigger a Global Financial Reset

The emergence of BRICS Pay is more than just a payments innovation: it represents a structural shift in global financial architecture. Key implications:

• Undermining the dollar’s settlement role: By enabling cross-border trade in local currencies and bypassing U.S.-dominated rails (SWIFT, dollar-clearing systems), BRICS Pay threatens one of the core pillars of U.S. financial hegemony (i.e., dollar dominance).

• Multipolar settlement networks: Rather than one global system anchored on the West, what’s forming is a parallel network of payment and messaging systems (national + interoperable) across major emerging economies. This diversification erodes single-point dominance.

• New reserve/currency dynamics: While BRICS is not yet issuing a unified currency, the shift toward local-currency settlement and reduced dollar reliance is laying the groundwork for alternate reserve/settlement regimes. 

• Resilience to sanctions and financial coercion: One reason cited for this move is the weaponisation of USD/Western-controlled systems via sanctions. A separate BRICS payment architecture reduces vulnerability to such tools. 

Together, these shift-points indicate we are entering a phase of structural reset in global finance — not merely a cyclical adjustment but an architectural redesign of how money, settlement, and cross-border trade operate.

Why It Matters

• For reserve-currency investors, the familiar calculus (invest in dollar-assets because of global demand for dollars) may face disruption. A move toward non-dollar rails raises dislocation risk.

• Countries reliant on dollar-settlements for trade or reserves face increasing competition from networks that bypass them — geopolitical as well as economic exposure must be re-assessed.

• Private-sector finance (banks, payment providers) will need to track emerging rails — BRICS-native and otherwise — to avoid being locked out of future corridors.

• The shift may accelerate fragmentation of the global financial system: instead of one dominant settlement layer, multiple overlapping networks emerge, and this increases complexity, counterparty risk, and need for new governance/standards.

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

“Tidbits From TNT” Sunday 11-9-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Al-Saabri: The next parliament is required to legislate the oil and gas law.

MP Hussein al-Saabri affirmed on Saturday that the upcoming parliament is required to overcome all political differences and proceed with enacting the oil and gas law, as it is one of the most prominent pieces of legislation postponed from previous sessions.  

Al-Saabri told the Information Agency that “engaging the law will establish a clear legal framework for managing oil and gas resources and guarantee the rights of all parties, thus enhancing fairness in revenue distribution and reducing ongoing disputes.”  
He added that "postponing the law over the past years has negatively impacted the national economy and led to continued disagreements regarding oil management and export," explaining that "the next phase requires genuine political will to resolve this vital issue, which is directly linked to the state budget and its economic stability."  link

Tishwash:  Iraq avoids budget deficit thanks to one factor... Expert reveals the secret

Economic expert, Salah Nouri, revealed that the Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019 served as a safety valve that saved Iraq from entering a state of financial deficit by addressing cases of delay in approving the federal general budget law or its failure to be approved on the specified dates.

Nouri told Al-Furat News Agency that: “The Financial Management Law has addressed several cases related to the approval of the federal general budget law,” noting that “Article 13 stipulated clear procedures to ensure the continuity of spending even if the budget is delayed beyond December 31 of the year preceding the year in which it was prepared.”

He explained that "the aforementioned article authorized the Minister of Finance to issue an official circular based on specific criteria, whereby it permits spending at a rate of {1/12} or less of the total actual expenditures for current expenses for the previous fiscal year, after excluding non-recurring expenses, to ensure the continuity of employee salaries and the operation of government facilities without interruption."

Nouri added that "the same article allowed for spending from the total annual allocation for ongoing investment projects whose allocations were included during the previous and subsequent fiscal years, according to the actual completion rates or completed stages of preparation, with the aim of preventing the suspension of projects under implementation."

The economist explained that “the third paragraph of the article accurately addressed the situation of the budget not being approved at all, as it stipulated that the final financial data of the previous year be adopted as the basis for the financial data of the new year, provided that this data is submitted to the House of Representatives for the purpose of approval, which ensures the continuation of the state’s financial activity in a legal and organized manner.”

Nouri stressed that “this article, with its three paragraphs, represented a comprehensive solution to the situation of delaying or not approving the budget at the end of the fiscal year,” explaining that “thanks to it, Iraq avoided falling into financial paralysis, especially since the House of Representatives had previously approved a budget for three years {2023 – 2024 – 2025}, which strengthened financial stability and contributed to regulating government spending within specific and clear ceilings.”   link

LouandDebNC: Indonesia plans Bill to redenominate rupiah, potentially slashing zeros from currency

CNA

JAKARTA: Indonesia's finance ministry said it is planning a new Bill to redenominate the rupiah in an effort to improve economic efficiency, maintain stability and improve the currency’s credibility.

"The Bill on redenomination is a carryover draft Bill that is planned to be finalised in 2027," a ministry regulation reviewed on Saturday showed.

The plan to slash zeros from the currency has been discussed in past years.

The last time the government submitted a draft to Parliament was in 2013. It proposed slashing three zeros of the rupiah banknote, but the draft was shelved. 

It was not immediately clear how many digits would be removed under the latest redenomination plan, though state news agency Antara reported on Saturday (Nov 8) that the Bill proposes removing three zeros from rupiah denominations.

Local news outlet Jakarta Globe reported that the latest measure appeared in Finance Ministry Regulation (PMK) No 70/2025 on the ministry’s 2025–2029 strategic plan, issued on Oct 10 and enacted on Nov 3.

Currently, rupiah banknotes range from 1,000 to 100,000 in denominations. A 100,000 rupiah note is equivalent to US$6. 

Redenomination would remove the number of digits on currency without altering purchasing power or the exchange rate. 

In 2023, Bank Indonesia said it was ready to implement redenomination, but had not yet found the right timing. 

Jakarta Globe reported that policymakers cited three main considerations then: Domestic and global macroeconomic conditions, monetary and financial system stability, and social-political dynamics. 

On the last point, the central bank reportedly emphasised that redenomination is not devaluation, but the public could still be cautious given past experiences with inflation and currency crises.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

“THE GREAT DEVELOPMENT FINANCE RETREAT: PRIVATE CAPITAL STEPS IN”

How falling government aid budgets are accelerating a new financial architecture

Key Developments

• OECD nations are slashing Official Development Assistance (ODA) by 9% in 2024, with projections of up to 17% declines in 2025.

• Western governments cite domestic fiscal strain, security costs, and shifting priorities.

• Emerging economies now turn to non-traditional lenders, including China’s Belt & Road channels, Gulf sovereign funds, and private equity consortiums.

Analysis — The Quiet Restructuring of Global Finance

The withdrawal of traditional Western development finance marks a turning point in the global lending order.
For decades, institutions such as the World Bank and OECD donors provided the backbone of infrastructure and poverty reduction programs. As this funding retracts, private finance and bilateral arrangements are rapidly replacing multilateral aid.

This reallocation creates an emerging parallel finance ecosystem:

• Debt-for-asset swaps, especially involving critical infrastructure.

• Commodity-backed lending, reviving patterns last seen in pre-dollar global trade.

• Hybrid finance models where ESG or development outcomes are tied to investor returns.

Such changes could gradually dilute the IMF–World Bank monopoly over global development capital — one of the five pillars underpinning the post-Bretton Woods system.

Why It Matters

The pivot from public to private funding deepens financial polarization:
wealthy nations internalize resources, while capital-seeking economies look elsewhere — often to BRICS-linked or regional solutions.
If sustained, this pattern leads to multi-polar capital formation — a precursor to a broader global financial reset.

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

“SUPPLY CHAINS AS WEAPONS: THE NEW DIPLOMACY OF DEPENDENCE”

Why global trade interdependence is becoming the new battleground of peace and power

Key Developments

• China’s shifting demand is reshaping global commodity flows, with soybean and wheat markets seeing price declines as Beijing diversifies suppliers.

• Gulf states, notably Qatar, navigate a volatile geopolitical environment as energy diplomacy collides with Western sanctions and regional realignments.

• Supply-chain dependence and security are replacing ideology as tools of diplomacy.

Analysis — Trade Becomes Strategy

In the post-COVID, post-Ukraine landscape, economic interdependence is weaponized.
Beijing’s strategic commodity management, Washington’s sanctions diplomacy, and Gulf states’ balancing acts all point to a world where diplomacy is executed through supply contracts rather than summits.

The structural impact:

• Regional blocs (ASEAN+, BRICS+, GCC) consolidate to preserve trade autonomy.

• Countries seek dual-track supply chains — one for the U.S./EU sphere, another for BRICS/Eurasia.

• Trade data increasingly mirrors security alliances, not comparative advantage.

This transformation signals the erosion of the globalized “single-market” model, one of the central assumptions of the old world financial order.

Why It Matters

As economic blocs decouple, capital flows, logistics insurance, and currency settlements are all impacted.
A new diplomacy based on resource control and production security replaces the free-trade consensus.
This creates the foundation for regionalized finance and independent settlement systems — a building block in the architecture of the coming financial reset.

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

“ASIA’S REBALANCING ACT: JAPAN’S NEW INDUSTRIAL STRATEGY AND THE END OF WESTERN MARKET MONOPOLY”

Tokyo’s pivot under new leadership signals a redistribution of global capital flow

Key Developments

• Japan’s new Prime Minister Taro Takaichi unveils a national industrial investment plan focused on semiconductors, AI, and green manufacturing.

• Improved U.S.–China trade sentiment removes friction for triangular trade opportunities across Asia-Pacific.

• Regional private equity funds and sovereign wealth investors are accelerating investment in Japanese and ASEAN assets.

Analysis — The Next Capital Center of Gravity

The U.S. market’s dominance in global equities and finance may face its first major structural challenger in decades.
Japan’s stable governance, combined with access to both Western and Chinese markets, offers investors a “bridge economy” during geopolitical fragmentation.

Key dynamics to watch:

• Yen-denominated capital instruments attract renewed interest as hedges against dollar volatility.

• Asian venture capital and sovereign funds rise as alternative liquidity hubs.

• Western funds seek co-investment partnerships to maintain exposure without political entanglement.

If sustained, these flows could mark the decentralization of capital pricing power — another pillar of the global reset taking shape through markets rather than policy statements.

Why It Matters

Capital no longer moves solely through New York or London.
As Tokyo and Singapore become new liquidity engines, the valuation logic of the global economy shifts.
This multipolar market ecosystem decentralizes both price discovery and financial influence — key precursors to a post-dollar capital order.

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