Iraq Is Moving Towards An American Company To Develop The Hamrin Oil Field.

Energy   Economy News — Baghdad   The state-owned North Oil Company announced that it held a meeting with the American company HKN Energy at its headquarters in Kirkuk Governorate, as part of the government's efforts to develop oil fields and strengthen international partnerships in the energy sector.

The Director General of the North Oil Company, Amer Khalil Ahmed, said in a statement received by “Al-Eqtisad News” that the meeting with the American company delegation came to finalize the technical vision regarding the Hamrin oil field development project, noting that the final version of the development file, which the Ministry of Oil is working on in cooperation with specialized international companies, has been reached.

He added that the meeting comes in implementation of the directives of the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Minister of Oil, Hayyan Abdul Ghani Al-Sawad, regarding the need to accelerate the technical and administrative steps related to developing the fields and increasing production, stressing that the ministry is directly following up on this file because of its strategic importance in enhancing the country’s production capacity.

The general manager explained that HKN is one of the companies that has a memorandum of understanding and a memorandum of principles (HoA) with Iraq, which paves the way for concluding a comprehensive development contract during the next period, after completing the technical conditions specific to the project.

HKN American Company

In a press release following the meeting, HKN Energy said the partnership with North Oil "represents an important step within the company's strategy to develop Iraqi fields according to the latest technologies adopted in the oil sector."

The statement confirmed that HKN is currently working with technical teams from North Oil and the Ministry of Oil to complete the necessary technical and logistical procedures to begin development operations, noting that the coming period will witness “the activation of serious field steps at the level of geological studies, infrastructure development, and preparation of drilling sites.”

The company also expressed its commitment to "supporting the Iraqi government's plans to develop the oil sector and invest in associated gas in northern Iraq," stressing that the Hamrin field project will be one of the pivotal projects in this regard.

Production at the Hamrin field is scalable.

In a specialized comment, oil expert Ali Khalil said that the Hamrin oil field is "one of the important fields in northern Iraq, and has recoverable reserves ranging from 1.5 to 2 billion barrels according to the technical estimates circulating."

The expert explained that the field's current production ranges between 20,000 and 25,000 barrels per day, a production that is "significantly capable of being increased" after the completion of the planned development operations.

He explained that the plan developed with HKN aims to raise production to 50-60 thousand barrels per day during the coming years, which will directly reflect on increasing oil revenues and supporting the national energy network.

Khalil pointed out that one of the most important aspects expected in this project is the investment in associated gas, as studies indicate the possibility of producing between 45 and 50 million cubic feet per day of gas, which can be invested in generating electricity and reducing gas flaring in the region.

He stressed that developing the field will contribute to "revitalizing the local economy in Kirkuk and Salah al-Din, creating job opportunities for young people, and improving the oil infrastructure in the region."

Gold Is Declining And Heading For A Weekly Drop.

Economy   21/11/2025   Mawazin News -   Gold prices fell and are on track for a weekly decline after a stronger-than-expected US jobs report reinforced expectations that the Federal Reserve will not cut interest rates at its December meeting.

Spot gold fell 0.2 percent to $4,062.79 per ounce by 01:57 GMT.

The precious metal is down 0.3 percent so far this week. US gold futures for December delivery rose 0.2 percent to $4,068.10 per ounce, according to Reuters.

A US Labor Department report, delayed due to the federal government shutdown, showed that non-farm payrolls increased by 119,000 jobs in September, more than double the expected increase of 50,000.

Traders now expect the US central bank to cut interest rates next month with a probability of about 39 percent, down from a 60 percent forecast earlier this month.

Gold, which does not yield interest, typically tends to rise in low interest rate environments.

The dollar is on track for its strongest weekly performance in over a month on Friday. A stronger dollar makes gold, which is priced in dollars, more expensive for holders of other currencies.

Among other precious metals, spot silver fell 0.4 percent to $50.39 an ounce, platinum rose 0.4 percent to $1,517.95, and palladium gained 0.3 percent to $1,381.22.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270582

Oil Prices Fell For The Third Consecutive Session

Economy | 21/11/2025  Oil prices continued their decline for the third consecutive session as the United States pressed for a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine that would allow for increased oil supplies in the global market, while uncertainty surrounding a potential US interest rate cut dampened investor appetite for risk.

Brent crude futures fell 71 cents, or 1.12 percent, to $62.67 a barrel by 0212 GMT, after declining 0.2 percent in the previous session.

US West Texas Intermediate crude futures were at $58.29 a barrel, down 71 cents, or 1.20 percent, after closing 0.5 percent lower on Thursday, according to Reuters.

Both benchmarks are on track to fall more than 2 percent this week due to concerns about increased supply.

Washington is pushing for a peace plan between Ukraine and Russia to end the three-year war, even as sanctions against Russian oil companies Rosneft and Lukoil are set to take effect on Friday. Lukoil has until December 13 to sell its massive international portfolio.

“With Ukraine not yet formally rejecting the agreement, the slim chance of a deal is weighing on prices, as it would eliminate much of the geopolitical risk premium for war that has been added to the price of crude,” said Tony Sycamore, market analyst at IG, in a note.

A stronger dollar has also weighed on oil prices because it makes the commodity more expensive for holders of other currencies.

The dollar is on track for its best weekly performance in more than a month on Friday as investors bet that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to cut interest rates next month.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270583

In Numbers... Planning Ministry Reveals The Size Of Private Sector Investments In The Five-Year Plan

Economy 21/11/2025  Mawazin News - Baghdad:  The Ministry of Planning confirmed that the volume of private sector investments within the five-year plan will reach 84 trillion dinars.

According to the official news agency, the Ministry of Planning spokesperson, Abdul Zahra al-Hindawi, stated that "Iraq has previously launched its Sustainable Development Vision 2030, which takes into account the fundamental Sustainable Development Goals agreed upon by the international community and reflects them in policies, programs, and development plans according to their phases.

" He pointed out that "the 2024-2028 five-year development plan covers almost the remaining period of Iraq's Sustainable Development Vision 2030 and includes goals related to health, education, poverty reduction, youth empowerment, partnerships, housing, and other 17 goals that are directly relevant to the Iraqi context."

He added, "These goals are translated into policies according to the five-year development plan and other strategies." He pointed out that "Iraq is now preparing to launch its third national poverty reduction strategy, which will cover the remaining five years of Iraq's Sustainable Development Vision 2026–2030.

This strategy will address poverty in its various dimensions, focusing on empowering and supporting the poor in areas such as health, housing, education, living standards, and employment."

He noted that "a special fund has been established to support the poorest areas, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals and reflecting these developments through programs and policies." He explained that "civil society was a partner in the preparation of the 2024–2028 five-year development plan.

At all stages of preparation, civil society was represented through the presence of active civil society organizations. They were our partners in the preparation phases, and their continued partnership after preparation and launch involves monitoring and oversight to ensure the plan progresses according to its established paths and objectives."

Al-Hindawi explained that "the private sector is a partner in all stages of preparing and implementing the five-year development plan, and it has been given a significant role in the Iraqi investment landscape as defined by the plan.

" He added that "the private sector's contribution to the overall investment program is 35 percent, compared to 65 percent for the public sector, representing approximately 84 trillion dinars in investments to be undertaken by the private sector."

Al-Hindawi pointed out that "strengthening the role of the private sector in development, project implementation, and economic policy formulation came about through the establishment of the Permanent Council for Private Sector Development, chaired by the Prime Minister, with representatives from all economic activities and sectors within the private sector as members.

" He emphasized that "this represents an important step towards achieving a genuine partnership between the public and private sectors to support the private sector and enable it to play its developmental role effectively and robustly."  https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270596

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Diplomacy & Peace — Saudi-US and Regional Diplomatic Moves Reconfigure Influence

High-level security and investment pacts — plus mediation signals — reshape regional alignments.

Overview

  • The U.S. and Saudi announcements this week (large investment commitments, defense status moves and aircraft/air-mobility pacts) indicate a deepening strategic tie with broad economic implications.

  • Iran has reportedly sought Saudi mediation to re-engage the U.S. on stalled nuclear talks, signalling a possible regional diplomatic opening.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Diplomacy & Peace — Saudi-US and Regional Diplomatic Moves Reconfigure Influence

High-level security and investment pacts — plus mediation signals — reshape regional alignments.

Overview

  • The U.S. and Saudi announcements this week (large investment commitments, defense status moves and aircraft/air-mobility pacts) indicate a deepening strategic tie with broad economic implications. 

  • Iran has reportedly sought Saudi mediation to re-engage the U.S. on stalled nuclear talks, signalling a possible regional diplomatic opening. 

Key Developments

  • U.S.–Saudi: reporting indicates commitments of large Saudi spending across energy, defence and tech and moves to elevate cooperation — potentially including F-35/defense equipment pathways. 

  • Saudi tech/aviation deals: agreements to trial eVTOL/air-taxi operations with Archer and PIF-owned operators point to industrial and mobility cooperation announced at regional events. Iran outreach to Riyadh asking for mediation with Washington could reopen diplomatic channels over the nuclear dossier if Saudi leverage proves effective. 

Why it matters
Major security and investment pacts shift political-economic alliances, affect energy and defence planning, and can rewire trade and settlement preferences — all central to the geopolitical layer of the Global Reset.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Diplomacy & Peace — Strategic Realignment: Security designations and mega-investment pledges increase the economic leverage of states and can accelerate alternative trade/settlement arrangements.

  • Pillar: Finance & Markets: Diplomatic deals influence sovereign risk assessments, foreign direct investment flows, and regional banking relationships.

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

BRICS NEWS: De-dollarisation Progress and Practical Limits

Bilateral local-currency trade and critical-minerals deals advance, but unified de-dollarisation remains complex.

Overview

  • BRICS and several emerging-market actions continue to expand local-currency settlement and bilateral trade arrangements — but analysts caution about practical limits to a rapid global de-dollarisation. 

  • South Africa and the EU signed a critical-minerals deal this week, tying trade and supply-chain policy into strategic currency and trade discussions. 

Key Developments

  • BRICS local settlement: increased bilateral local-currency trade agreements recorded across several members, but experts note a gap between bilateral deals and a unified alternative payments architecture. 

  • South Africa–EU critical minerals pact includes cooperation clauses that protect supply lines and strengthen trade-linkage resilience — part of a broader re-tooling of trade corridors. 

Why it matters
Practical progress on local-currency trade and critical-minerals security reduces reliance on single-currency supply chains and encourages the development of alternative settlement systems — an operational pillar of the Global Reset even if full de-dollarisation remains aspirational.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Currency — Payments & Settlement: Bilateral settlements and trade agreements build the plumbing for reduced dollar dependence, but scalability and network effects remain hurdles.

  • Pillar: Markets/Metals: Strategic minerals and reserve assets interplay as countries hedge currency and industrial risks.

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

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Surging Long-Term Yields Tighten Global Credit Conditions

Longer-dated sovereign yields climb as rate-cut hopes fade, raising funding costs for governments and corporates.

Overview

  • U.S. Treasury and global sovereign yields ticked higher after Fed minutes and mixed economic data showed less clarity on near-term rate cuts. 

  • Japan’s long-dated yields have jumped to multi-year highs, adding stress to global fixed-income markets and swap curves. 

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Surging Long-Term Yields Tighten Global Credit Conditions

Longer-dated sovereign yields climb as rate-cut hopes fade, raising funding costs for governments and corporates.

Overview

  • U.S. Treasury and global sovereign yields ticked higher after Fed minutes and mixed economic data showed less clarity on near-term rate cuts. 

  • Japan’s long-dated yields have jumped to multi-year highs, adding stress to global fixed-income markets and swap curves. 

Key Developments

  • Fed minutes signalled committee members remain split on the timing of cuts, prompting investors to reprice expectations and send yields up across the curve.

  • Japan: 20– and 30-year yields reached the highest levels seen in years amid concerns over stimulus size and fiscal financing. 

Why it matters
Rising long-term yields increase the cost of borrowing for sovereigns and corporates, reduce liquidity for risk assets, and can accelerate balance-sheet stress in highly levered sectors — a key channel through which monetary policy and fiscal choices feed into the Global Reset.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Finance — Liquidity & Credit: Higher yields compress margins for banks and increase rollover risk for governments leaning on debt markets.

  • Pillar: Markets: Equity risk premia may widen if yields remain elevated and cut expectations slip.

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

Tech-Led Rally Reverses, Liquidity Strains Reappear

Volatility returns as AI optimism meets valuation and liquidity concerns.

Overview

  • U.S. equities experienced a sharp intraday reversal after early gains driven by AI-sector strength; the S&P and Nasdaq closed materially lower on renewed risk-aversion. 

  • VIX spiked and risk assets including crypto sold off as liquidity dried in the middle of the session.

Key Developments

  • Nvidia earnings initially buoyed the sector but the rally faded, exposing limited market depth and sector concentration risk. 

  • Macro datapoints (jobs and Fed signaling) left traders uncertain about the timing of rate cuts, intensifying flow reversals into safe havens. 

Why it matters
Rapid reversals amplify the feedback loop between asset prices, margin requirements, and liquidity providers — increasing the probability of disorderly moves that can transmit into funding markets and core credit, a core feature of the Global Reset dynamics.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Markets — Liquidity & Structure: Higher volatility forces deleveraging, narrows bid-ask spreads, and punishes concentrated positions.

  • Pillar: Finance: Market stress often presages tighter credit conditions and raises the cost of balance-sheet adjustment.

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

Central-Bank Gold Buying and Strategic Accumulation Continue

Reserve managers keep adding gold while national banks step up domestic gold operations.

Overview

  • Major banks and research houses continue to flag ongoing central-bank accumulation of gold as a strategic reserve diversification trend. 

  • Russia and other producers report increased central-bank activity in gold operations and domestic flows. 

Key Developments

  • Goldman Sachs: research notes show central-bank purchases sustaining elevated demand and bullish price forecasts into 2026. 

  • Russia’s central bank said gold-related operations are increasing, reinforcing the narrative of reserve diversification in emerging-market policy circles. 

  • Price action: short-term moves show sensitivity to U.S. jobs and rate-cut expectations; this week gold traded with intraday swings tied to macro prints. 

Why it matters
Sustained central-bank accumulation compresses available above-ground supply for private buyers, inflates strategic asset prices, and signals a structural shift in reserve composition away from pure dollar liquidity — a foundational change for the Global Reset.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Metals — Reserve Recomposition: Centrality of gold as a reserve asset strengthens alternatives to purely dollar-centric reserves.

  • Pillar: Currency: As central banks diversify, coordinated currency strategies and settlement systems may accelerate.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 11-21-25

Inner Fortress  Learn About The "Secret Operations Room" That Monitors The Pulse Of The Iraqi Economy And Protects The Dinar From Fluctuations.
 
Economy / Special Reports Yesterday, | 629  Baghdad Today – Baghdad   While the domestic debate continues regarding the   exchange rate and the   future of the dinar, the      Central Bank of Iraq's recent statement      on the tasks of its Investment Department has  revealed another dimension to the monetary landscape—    one that is deeper, less visible, yet highly influential.

Inner Fortress  Learn About The "Secret Operations Room" That Monitors The Pulse Of The Iraqi Economy And Protects The Dinar From Fluctuations.
 
Economy / Special Reports Yesterday, | 629  Baghdad Today – Baghdad   While the domestic debate continues regarding the   exchange rate and the   future of the dinar, the      Central Bank of Iraq's recent statement      on the tasks of its Investment Department has  revealed another dimension to the monetary landscape—    one that is deeper, less visible, yet highly influential.

This department, which   manages foreign reserves and   balances global market risks,    is now described by economists as the   "silent backbone" of the Iraqi economy,        alongside oil, and the     foundation upon which     the most significant financial transformations   underway in the country are taking place.
 
Economic expert Nasser al-Tamimi confirmed to Baghdad Today that the department has transformed in recent years   from a traditional bureaucratic unit   into a true center of gravity,   preserving the stability of public finances and   defining the Central Bank's room for       maneuver in the foreign exchange market.
 
He told Baghdad Today that the   prudent management of foreign assets—from      government bonds to    gold,    deposits, and    low-risk instruments—   has enabled Iraq to    weather the waves of global market turmoil and    mitigated the impact on the dinar and the      country's financial balance.
 
The Central Bank's technical statement, while   employing specialized language regarding      balances,      transfers, and    investment plans, nonetheless    attracted the attention of international experts    who analyzed its implicit messages.
 
Bankers point out that the Central Bank's explicit declaration that the   department's activities aim to stabilize the exchange rate      does not necessarily mean an immediate appreciation of the dinar.
 
However, it is a strong indication that   preparations for a stable monetary reform have effectively begun.
 
These experts believe the Central Bank is waiting for the "safest moment" to take any significant steps, given the extreme sensitivity of the Iraqi market.
 
Any adjustment to the exchange rate system—   whether an appreciation or a restructuring—   requires a robust structure capable of absorbing shocks.
 
At the heart of this shift, two phrases in the Central Bank's statement caught the attention of experts:
   "operational continuity" and   "risks associated with oil revenue currencies."
 
These are phrases typically used in international contexts related to   deep monetary reforms and   preparing for potential fluctuations      that may accompany opening up to global markets.
 
Specialists interpret this as part of   restructuring Iraq's financial sector infrastructure      in line with IMF recommendations, the   requirements for joining the World Trade Organization, and      gradual integration into the global financial system.
 
However, the most sensitive transformation   is not limited to the investment sector alone,   but encompasses an entire system being developed in parallel.
 
Starting Saturday (November 22),   all cross-border payments in Iraq       will transition to the ISO 20022 standard,         the system adopted by the most advanced economies.

Furthermore, all banks in Iraq have been mandated to finalize their capital plans according to the ICAAP model and undergo rigorous stress tests to demonstrate their ability to withstand   exchange rate fluctuations of up to 30%, a   collapse in oil prices, or a   sudden run on deposits,      while maintaining their solvency.
 
Economists believe these two steps are not merely technical updates,but rather represent—quite literally—the   final two key conditions that the      International Monetary Fund, the    US Treasury Department, the    Bank for International Settlements, and     major correspondent banks in New York and London stipulated must be met    before Iraq could fully participate in the     international foreign exchange market.
 
They emphasize that the fundamental problem with the dinar today   is not its market value,   but rather that Iraq remains "blocked" from the global exchange market, and that      adopting Basel III-ICAAP and ISO 20022 standards is what   will pave the way for gradually lifting this blockade.
 
Analyses indicate that the Iraqi dinar remains   trapped in a restricted market,   unable to be traded in large quantities      except through the daily dollar auction.
 
Furthermore, prior to adhering to the new standards,   local banks appeared structurally unstable to international banks, and   their payment channels relied on outdated SWIFT systems dating back three decades,      placing them under suspicion of money laundering.
 
Now, with banks required to disclose their actual capacity to absorb shocks, the pretext that prevented major international dealers from dealing directly in dinars is diminishing.
 
In this context, experts believe that Iraq is nearing the end of the "forced peg" of its exchange rate, which effectively began in October 2021 when it was announced that   "the rate will remain fixed until 2025."
 
With this date approaching and the  technical requirements for monetary reform being finalized,   some believe that Iraq may be entering a new phase      that might not be a direct revaluation of the dinar,  but which will at least pave the way for a more   stable and   transparent exchange market.  

Al-Tamimi concludes by saying,  “Oil provides the funds, but it is   the investment department that ensures those funds are not lost to market fluctuations.”

He adds that   the next phase may witness an expansion of the department’s role in regulating monetary policy, and that the  strength of reserves and the   stability of the banking sector   will be the most decisive factors in the future of the dinar.    https://baghdadtoday.news/287495-.html   

 The Central Bank Issues A Series Of Instructions To Banks To Improve Services And Prevent The Collection Of Illegal Commissions.
 
November 20, 2025   Baghdad/Iraq Observer  The Central Bank of Iraq issued new directives today   to banks operating in the country,   including a package of mandatory measures aimed at   enhancing the quality of banking services and   protecting the rights of the public.

First – Improving The Level Of Service:
 
The Central Bank stressed the need for banks to   adhere to customer service standards,   provide a suitable professional environment within branches, and   expedite transactions without delay.
 
It emphasized the importance of assigning qualified staff to   deal directly with customers and   activating systems for receiving and processing complaints within specific      timeframes.
 
Second – Prohibiting The Collection Of Commissions Not Stipulated:
 
The bank prohibited the collection of any unauthorized fees or charges, including   commissions on cash deposits or other transactions,      unless listed in the approved commission schedules.

“Tidbits From TNT” Friday Morning 11-21-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Learn about the "secret operations room" that monitors the pulse of the Iraqi economy and protects the dinar from fluctuations.

 While the domestic debate continues regarding the exchange rate and the future of the dinar, the Central Bank of Iraq's recent statement on the tasks of its Investment Department has revealed another dimension to the monetary landscape—one that is deeper, less visible, yet highly influential.

This department, which manages foreign reserves and balances global market risks, is now described by economists as the "silent backbone" of the Iraqi economy, alongside oil, and the foundation upon which the most significant financial transformations underway in the country are taking place.

Tishwash:  Learn about the "secret operations room" that monitors the pulse of the Iraqi economy and protects the dinar from fluctuations.

 While the domestic debate continues regarding the exchange rate and the future of the dinar, the Central Bank of Iraq's recent statement on the tasks of its Investment Department has revealed another dimension to the monetary landscape—one that is deeper, less visible, yet highly influential.

This department, which manages foreign reserves and balances global market risks, is now described by economists as the "silent backbone" of the Iraqi economy, alongside oil, and the foundation upon which the most significant financial transformations underway in the country are taking place.

Economic expert Nasser al-Tamimi confirmed to Baghdad Today that the department has transformed in recent years from a traditional bureaucratic unit into a true center of gravity, preserving the stability of public finances and defining the Central Bank's room for maneuver in the foreign exchange market. He told Baghdad Today that the prudent management of foreign assets—from government bonds to gold, deposits, and low-risk instruments—has enabled Iraq to weather the waves of global market turmoil and mitigated the impact on the dinar and the country's financial balance.

The Central Bank's technical statement, while employing specialized language regarding balances, transfers, and investment plans, nonetheless attracted the attention of international experts who analyzed its implicit messages. Bankers point out that the Central Bank's explicit declaration that the department's activities aim to stabilize the exchange rate does not necessarily mean an immediate appreciation of the dinar.

However, it is a strong indication that preparations for a stable monetary reform have effectively begun. These experts believe the Central Bank is waiting for the "safest moment" to take any significant steps, given the extreme sensitivity of the Iraqi market.

Any adjustment to the exchange rate system—whether an appreciation or a restructuring—requires a robust structure capable of absorbing shocks.

At the heart of this shift, two phrases in the Central Bank's statement caught the attention of experts: "operational continuity" and "risks associated with oil revenue currencies."

These are phrases typically used in international contexts related to deep monetary reforms and preparing for potential fluctuations that may accompany opening up to global markets.

 Specialists interpret this as part of restructuring Iraq's financial sector infrastructure in line with IMF recommendations, the requirements for joining the World Trade Organization, and gradual integration into the global financial system.

However, the most sensitive transformation is not limited to the investment sector alone, but encompasses an entire system being developed in parallel.

 Starting Saturday (November 22), all cross-border payments in Iraq will transition to the ISO 20022 standard, the system adopted by the most advanced economies. Furthermore, all banks in Iraq have been mandated to finalize their capital plans according to the ICAAP model and undergo rigorous stress tests to demonstrate their ability to withstand exchange rate fluctuations of up to 30%, a collapse in oil prices, or a sudden run on deposits, while maintaining their solvency.

Economists believe these two steps are not merely technical updates, but rather represent—quite literally—the final two key conditions that the International Monetary Fund, the US Treasury Department, the Bank for International Settlements, and major correspondent banks in New York and London stipulated must be met before Iraq could fully participate in the international foreign exchange market.

They emphasize that the fundamental problem with the dinar today is not its market value, but rather that Iraq remains "blocked" from the global exchange market, and that adopting Basel III-ICAAP and ISO 20022 standards is what will pave the way for gradually lifting this blockade.

Analyses indicate that the Iraqi dinar remains trapped in a restricted market, unable to be traded in large quantities except through the daily dollar auction. Furthermore, prior to adhering to the new standards, local banks appeared structurally unstable to international banks, and their payment channels relied on outdated SWIFT systems dating back three decades, placing them under suspicion of money laundering.

Now, with banks required to disclose their actual capacity to absorb shocks, the pretext that prevented major international dealers from dealing directly in dinars is diminishing.

In this context, experts believe that Iraq is nearing the end of the "forced peg" of its exchange rate, which effectively began in October 2021 when it was announced that "the rate will remain fixed until 2025."

With this date approaching and the technical requirements for monetary reform being finalized, some believe that Iraq may be entering a new phase that might not be a direct revaluation of the dinar, but which will at least pave the way for a more stable and transparent exchange market.

Al-Tamimi concludes by saying, “Oil provides the funds, but it is the investment department that ensures those funds are not lost to market fluctuations.”

He adds that the next phase may witness an expansion of the department’s role in regulating monetary policy, and that the strength of reserves and the stability of the banking sector will be the most decisive factors in the future of the dinar. link

Tishwash:  A highly anticipated US visit and Savaya's appearance at the Pentagon send strong messages about a "completely different phase" in Iraq.

What does Washington have up its sleeve?

Baghdad is preparing to receive a high-level American delegation in the coming days, at a time that suggests Washington has decided to move from a phase of quiet observation to one of targeted intervention, coinciding with the redrawing of the power map after the elections.

The visit comes as the controversy surrounding the surprise appearance of US Special Envoy Mark Savaya at the Pentagon has yet to subside, less than four hours after the same coordinating body announced its formation as the "largest bloc"—a move widely interpreted as a direct political message rather than a routine meeting.

Political sources confirmed to Baghdad Today that the American delegation's visit is not merely a protocol visit, but rather carries a clear position regarding the formation of the next government. Washington wants a stable and effective government that does not reflect parallel power structures.

 The US administration believes its political and economic support is contingent on Baghdad's ability to establish a governing framework that prevents armed groups from influencing executive decisions and ensures that the instruments of power remain solely in the hands of state institutions.

Behind these messages lies the issue of uncontrolled weapons, a central focus of the American approach. Washington believes the incoming government will face a direct test regarding the role of factions within the political process, the nature of their participation in governance, and the limits of their security influence.

Diplomatic sources believe the United States wants clear commitments before fully recognizing the new government and may escalate pressure if it perceives the political equation as shifting toward a factional government with significant parliamentary influence.

The economic dimensions are equally, and perhaps even more, present than they appear on the surface. The US administration is preparing to revive major projects such as investment in Baghdad International Airport, which has returned to the forefront as a strategic project no less important than oil and energy.

There is talk within US circles of a desire to develop the airport through operational and investment partnerships that would provide it with an advanced operational infrastructure and connect it to a broader network of commercial air transport. There is also a push to expand US investment in oil and gas fields and to develop the energy, transportation, and port sectors, as these are considered key to long-term economic stability in Iraq.

The appearance of Savaya within the Pentagon has given these files an added dimension. International relations expert Hussein al-Asaad, speaking to Baghdad Today, believes that placing the Iraqi file on the desk of the Secretary of Defense, rather than the State Department, reflects a shift in Iraq's focus from diplomatic discussions to direct U.S. national security concerns.

Al-Asaad explains this shift as a result of growing anxiety in Washington regarding the future of foreign forces, the activities of armed factions, threats related to regional conflict, and the nature of the next government and the potential changes it might bring to the balance of power.

Al-Asaad points out that Savaya, with his economic background, represents a bridge between the security and investment sectors, making his presence at the Department of Defense a sign that Washington is now dealing with the Iraqi file as a complex issue that combines security, politics, and economics. From this perspective, the United States' aspiration to restructure its economic presence in Iraq is no longer separate from its security vision, but rather complements it.

As for the timing, diplomatic sources confirmed to Baghdad Today that publishing photos of the meeting just hours after the announcement of the "largest bloc" coordination framework was not a spontaneous move. According to these sources, Washington wanted to send a clear signal to the political forces that the formation of the next government would be under direct scrutiny, and that the United States would not be lenient with any political formula that weakens the state or opens the door to unchecked influence.

Observers believe that Iraq finds itself at a critical juncture with multifaceted dimensions. Political forces are moving towards forming a government that, thus far, appears to lean heavily towards the influence of armed factions. Washington is intensifying its messaging through the anticipated visit and the movements of the Savaya delegation. Economic issues are resurfacing strongly, from the airport to the oil fields to energy projects. And the regional environment is exerting significant pressure on the shape of future policies in Baghdad.

Between these overlapping circles, the next phase appears governed by a delicate equation: no governmental stability without calming the security situation, no international support without a clear economic vision, and no internal balance without redefining the boundaries of political and military influence. At the heart of this equation, the United States stands closer than ever to the government formation process, at a moment when the first outlines of the coming years are being drawn.   link

Tishwash: Kurdistan Finance Ministry: Salaries of those not registered in the "My Account" project will be suspended at the end of this year.

The Ministry of Finance and Economy of the Kurdistan Regional Government announced on Thursday that the salaries of civilian and military employees who have not registered themselves in the "My Account" project will be suspended based on a decision by the Federal Ministry of Finance.

The ministry said in a statement seen by “Al-Eqtisad News” that all employees, security affiliates and beneficiary families who have not yet filled out the “My Account” project form will have their salaries suspended when the September salary is disbursed until the form is completed.

She noted that families whose bank card procedures have been completed but who have not yet received their cards must visit the banks to receive them, indicating that the October salary will be disbursed exclusively through the "My Account" project.

 The Ministry of Finance confirmed that about 90% of the employees of the Kurdistan Region, both civilian and military, in addition to those receiving salaries, have completed the registration process, while some of them are still not registered.

She explained that, according to the decision of the Federal Ministry of Finance, any employee or beneficiary in the region who does not have a bank account and does not register in the “My Account” project by the end of this year will have their salaries suspended from Baghdad and will not be disbursed in the region.

She pointed out that the disbursement of salaries after the beginning of next year will not be in cash at all, and that anyone who causes a delay in the registration procedures will bear the legal and administrative responsibility  link

Iraq Enters The Era Of "Digital Maturity"... Huge Leaps In The Use Of The Internet And Social Media

Money and Business  Economy News - Follow-up   Iraq is witnessing a significant acceleration in the use of digital technology in its various forms and methods, coinciding with the entry of thousands of international companies into the Iraqi market. This surge in digital consumption is attributed to what could be considered excessive usage.

According to official figures released by global digital companies, most notably We Are Social, this trend is occurring amidst warnings about the continued escalation of reliance on rapidly advancing technologies and their increasing dominance over the lives of Iraqi citizens, despite the positive aspects of the current digital maturity.

The latest digital data released for October 2025 revealed radical shifts in the Iraqi technological landscape, with the country recording record jumps in internet and smartphone usage rates, a clear indication that Iraq is entering a phase of accelerated "digital maturity".

A report issued by We Are Social, which highlights the adoption of connected services, showed that Iraq is witnessing an unprecedented phenomenon in the use of social media, which grew by a tremendous 17% in just one year, with the number of digital identities exceeding 40 million.

In detailing the figures, the report explained that the number of mobile phone subscriptions in Iraq has exceeded the actual population, reaching 50.8 million subscriptions, in a country with a population of 47.3 million people, and with a penetration rate of 108% of the total population, the concept is established that the Iraqi citizen depends entirely on the mobile phone as a main gateway to the world, with the phenomenon of an individual owning more than one SIM card being widespread.

These figures come in conjunction with the rise in the country’s urbanization rate to 72.2%, which has facilitated the deployment of communications infrastructure in cities and densely populated areas.

The internet is no longer a luxury in Iraq, but a necessity for daily life. The report indicated that 39.6 million Iraqis use the internet, which is equivalent to 83.8% of the population. This widespread use, which grew by 4.7% compared to last year, practically means the disappearance of the “digital divide” that the country suffered from in previous decades, paving the way for distance education services and digital work.

The most controversial and interesting figure in the 2025 report is the "rocketing" increase in the number of social media users, with 5.8 million new users joining these platforms in the last 12 months alone.

Ali Nouri, a researcher and specialist in digital media, believes that “the number of social media accounts exceeding (40.1 million) the number of actual internet users reflects a deep division of Iraqi society in the virtual space, and the multiplicity of accounts for one individual across different platforms, which makes these platforms the new ‘public arena’ for Iraqis.”

Nouri affirms: “This new digital landscape opens the door for the business sector; the data clearly indicates that the Iraqi market is fully ready for a revolution in e-commerce and financial technology (FinTech), and with a user base of this size, companies that do not have a clear digital strategy will find themselves out of the competition.”

He continues, "These figures place the Iraqi government before urgent obligations, most notably the need to move from the traditional e-government to a 'smart government' that provides its services through mobile phone applications to suit the behavior of citizens, in addition to the urgent need for strict legislation related to cybersecurity to protect the data of millions of new users."   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62508

Gold Prices Fall Due To The Strength Of The Dollar

Economy | 09:33 - 20/11/2025   Mawazin News - Follow-up:  Gold prices edged lower under pressure from a stronger dollar and receding expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December.

Spot gold fell 0.1% to $4,077.13 per ounce by 03:05 GMT, while U.S. gold futures for December delivery declined 0.2% to $4,075.80 per ounce.

The dollar rose to its highest level in more than two weeks against its rivals, making gold more expensive for holders of other currencies.

Traders estimate a 33% chance of an interest rate cut at the Fed's December 9-10 meeting. Non-yielding gold tends to perform better in low interest rate environments and times of economic uncertainty.

Attention is now focused on the U.S. non-farm payrolls report for September, due later today after being postponed due to the recent U.S. government shutdown, which is expected to provide further clues about the Fed's policy path.

In other precious metals, silver rose 0.2% to $51.44 an ounce in spot trading, platinum climbed 0.9% to $1,559.54, while palladium added 1.1% to $1,395.37.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270530

Oil Prices Rise To $63.72 Per Barrel

economy | 08:42 - 20/11/2025   Oil prices rose slightly, recovering  from losses in the previous session, as markets assessed the latest US proposals to end the war in Ukraine and braced for a US deadline to wind down operations with two major Russian oil companies.

Brent crude futures rose 21 cents, or 0.33%, to $63.72 a barrel by 01:42 GMT, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures rose 24 cents, or 0.40%, to $59.68.

As part of US efforts to end the long-running conflict, Washington imposed sanctions on Rosneft and Okoil, Russia's largest oil producers and exporters, with a November 21 deadline for them to close operations.

Rosneft has reduced its stake in the Kurdistan Pipeline Company of Iraq, a major oil exporter, to less than 50% in an effort to shield the oil export subsidiary from US sanctions.

Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG, said in a note: "We maintain a bullish bias on crude oil as long as it remains above its year-to-date low of around $55.00."   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270527

We’re at EXACT Level That Triggered Every 40% Crash in History – AI Stocks & Bitcoin to Collapse!

We’re at EXACT Level That Triggered Every 40% Crash in History – AI Stocks & Bitcoin to Collapse!

Danoela Cambone :  11-19-2025

In today’s volatile financial landscape, separating genuine market signals from speculative noise is the ultimate challenge. Few analysts are as dedicated to this task as Gareth Soloway, who recently joined Daniela Cambone on ITM Trading for a sweeping, data-driven market analysis.

Soloway, known for his rigorous technical approach, delivered a stark warning across multiple asset classes: while the long-term outlook remains profoundly bullish for key assets like Bitcoin and gold, investors must brace for significant near-term technical corrections. This is the time for prudence, not panic, built on the pillars of diversification and strategic positioning.

We’re at EXACT Level That Triggered Every 40% Crash in History – AI Stocks & Bitcoin to Collapse!

Danoela Cambone :  11-19-2025

In today’s volatile financial landscape, separating genuine market signals from speculative noise is the ultimate challenge. Few analysts are as dedicated to this task as Gareth Soloway, who recently joined Daniela Cambone on ITM Trading for a sweeping, data-driven market analysis.

Soloway, known for his rigorous technical approach, delivered a stark warning across multiple asset classes: while the long-term outlook remains profoundly bullish for key assets like Bitcoin and gold, investors must brace for significant near-term technical corrections. This is the time for prudence, not panic, built on the pillars of diversification and strategic positioning.

For those celebrating Bitcoin’s recent highs, Soloway offers a necessary dose of technical reality. While he maintains a deeply bullish long-term stance on BTC, his analysis points to significant near-term risk based on historical chart patterns.

Soloway identifies key support levels for Bitcoin between $73,000 and $75,000. He anticipates that after a potential immediate dip, Bitcoin could see a substantial technical bounce, potentially pushing toward the $100,000 psychological mark.

The Warning: This upward move is likely a head-f**e. Soloway projects that following that bounce, Bitcoin is technically poised for a deeper correction—a critical piece of analysis often overlooked by media hype.

The enthusiasm surrounding Ethereum and various altcoins (like Solana) is palpable, but Soloway advises extreme caution. While these assets offer enticing swing trading opportunities, the rapid pace of technological evolution and competition introduces systemic risk. In a market correction, these more speculative assets tend to suffer the swiftest and deepest declines.

Soloway’s technical indicators suggest that traditional tangible assets are setting up for monumental rallies, but only after a necessary seasonal pullback.

Gold has shown remarkable strength, but Soloway notes that current market conditions mirror historical patterns that precede major moves.

He forecasts a short-term retracement for gold, pulling the price back down to the $3,500–$3,600 range. Crucially, this is presented not as a collapse, but as the final staging ground for a much larger rally. Soloway projects that by 2026, gold could potentially soar to $5,000 per ounce, reinforcing its role as the premier store of value.

Perhaps the most compelling opportunity lies in the often-overlooked rare metals. Soloway identifies platinum and palladium as significantly undervalued. Given their scarcity and industrial utility, he suggests they possess substantial upside potential, positioning them as alternative hedges alongside gold and Bitcoin against currency degradation.

Silver is following a similar script, showing strong upward momentum but needing to clear a critical technical hurdle. Soloway expects silver to briefly pull back to around $40 per ounce before resuming its powerful upward trajectory.

Soloway’s most pressing warning is directed squarely at the euphoric equity markets, particularly the technology sector fueled by the AI boom.

He argues that the current valuations in key tech areas are divorced from technical and fundamental reality. Specifically focusing on the semiconductor sector (tracked by the SMH ETF), Soloway projects a significant correction.

Soloway forecasts a 40% correction in semiconductors based on the current historical deviation from the 200-week moving average—a key technical benchmark for long-term health.

Soloway stresses that the euphoria driving the tech sector reflects excessive optimism that historically precedes sharp and painful downturns.

The overarching lesson from Soloway’s comprehensive analysis is unambiguous: diversification is not merely wise; it is essential financial defense.

In an environment where governmental scrutiny on digital assets is increasing, and systemic risks—including potential US dollar devaluation and expanding cyber threats—are intensifying, holding a diverse portfolio is paramount.

Soloway concludes by underscoring the enduring value of physical assets like gold and silver. In an age dominated by digital threats and fragile financial systems, these tangible holdings serve as the ultimate insurance policy against the unknown.

Staying ahead means understanding where the hype ends and the technical realities begin. Soloway’s data-driven outlook provides a crucial roadmap for investors seeking to protect and grow their capital through the inevitable market corrections ahead.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Metals Signal Early Stress as Demand Softens and Supply Controls Tighten

Industrial commodities reveal underlying strain in global manufacturing and trade.

Overview

  • Base metals drifted lower this week, reflecting cautious sentiment and uncertainty around delayed U.S. economic data.

  • The European Union announced plans to restrict aluminum scrap exports, moving toward tighter resource management.

  • Commodity traders are increasingly pricing geopolitical and macro risk, not just supply-and-demand fundamentals.

  • Industrial metals continue to serve as early indicators of shifts in global manufacturing momentum.

Key Developments

  • Softening demand pressures copper and aluminum, particularly in regions tied to construction, tech, and power infrastructure.

  • The EU’s export restrictions indicate a strategic move, prioritizing domestic processing capacity and supply-chain security.

  • Traders are shifting toward defensive positions, awaiting clearer economic signals from the U.S.

  • Real assets, including metals, are now moving in sync with global liquidity and currency conditions.

Why It Matters
Metals sit at the foundation of industrial power. Shifts in production flows, export rules, and demand patterns indicate that the real-economy side of the reset is accelerating.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar – Commodity & Supply-Chain Reordering: Nations are beginning to lock down critical materials, anticipating deeper strategic competition.

  • Pillar – Real-Asset Revaluation: Metals markets are entering a repricing phase tied to inflation, industrial demand, and geopolitical leverage.

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

Dollar Strengthens as Yen Weakens, Signaling a New Currency Crossroads

Global currency markets tighten as rising yields and fiscal pressures reshape FX dynamics.

Overview

  • The U.S. dollar rose sharply this week, supported by rising yields and risk-off positioning.

  • The Japanese yen slid toward multi-decade lows, raising speculation about potential intervention.

  • Currency markets are reacting to policy uncertainty, data delays, and fiscal stress across major economies.

  • BRICS de-dollarization efforts remain in the background, but structural pressures are steadily building.

Key Developments

  • Dollar strength reflects renewed safe-haven demand, as tighter financial conditions ripple across markets.

  • Yen weakness raises alarm, especially as Japan balances rising yields, fiscal expansion, and inflation management.

  • Traders are bracing for potential coordinated action, especially if yen volatility intensifies.

  • Long-term de-dollarization remains a systemic theme, even as the dollar asserts short-term dominance.

Why It Matters
Currency fluctuations now influence debt markets, trade balances, and geopolitical decisions. FX volatility is becoming a core mechanism in the emerging global reset.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar – Currency Realignment: Market-driven FX moves are pushing nations toward new reserve strategies and intervention frameworks.

  • Pillar – Monetary System Transition: The clash between short-term dollar strength and long-term de-dollarization highlights the structural shift underway.

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

Saudi’s $1T U-Turn: Turning Away from BRICS, Building With the U.S.

Mohammed bin Salman boosts pledge to nearly $1 trillion in U.S., signaling a major pivot.

Overview

  • Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS) announced in Washington that the Kingdom will raise its U.S. investment plan from $600 billion to nearly $1 trillion

  • This comes during a White House visit, where MBS and U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated strategic deals in technology, AI, and critical minerals (“magnets”)

  • The scale of this pledge weakens BRICS’ attempt to court Saudi Arabia as a major new financial partner.

  • Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 — its strategy to diversify beyond oil — aligns tightly with the types of sectors named in the investment commitment.

Key Developments

  • A $400 billion increase: The Kingdom is boosting its previously announced $600B investment by adding another ~$400B, according to MBS. 

  • Broad sector commitment: Investments are earmarked for tech, AI, and “magnets” — a likely reference to rare earths or other strategic materials. 

  • Geopolitical pivot away from BRICS: Despite being invited to join BRICS, Saudi Arabia appears to be doubling down on its relationship with the U.S. instead of aligning with the bloc.

  • Skeptics question the realism: Some analysts point out that the $1 trillion figure may be aspirational, noting prior commitments were unclear or partially symbolic. 

Why It Matters
This is more than a big investment headline — it’s a structural signal. Saudi Arabia is choosing deep alignment with the U.S. over a geopolitical shift toward BRICS, undermining the bloc’s leverage and reshaping the economic architecture of the Global Reset.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar – Geoeconomic Diplomacy: Saudi Arabia is playing a decisive role in the emerging architecture, choosing strategic U.S. investment over BRICS integration.

  • Pillar – Real-Asset & Capital Flow Re-ordering: A committed $1 trillion into U.S. sectors like AI and strategic minerals could reshape power balances in technology and natural resources.

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

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Thurs. 20 Nov. 2025

Compiled Thurs. 20 Nov. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington,

Judy Note: The below is a compilation of opinions on the rollout of the Restored Republic and new Global Financial System. Please treat as rumor as the Intel changes daily, sometimes hourly, or even by the minute, plus only a select one or two were authorized to expose certain details or the exact timing:

The long-awaited RV release codes have (allegedly) been entered. NESARA/GESARA protocols are (allegedly) executing in real time, initiating total debt jubilee—every mortgage, credit card, student loan, and unjust financial burden forgiven by divine decree. Payouts in the trillions (allegedly) flow now through secure QFS accounts, protected from all Cabal interference.

This is the moment the prophets foresaw—the return of stolen wealth to the people, the restoration of sovereignty, and the dawn of the Golden Age. As the old Babylonian money magic collapses forever, a new era of prosperity anchored in truth and righteousness rises in its place. The meek truly inherit the earth, for the Kingdom of Heaven manifests through these sacred financial channels.

The long-awaited Global Currency Reset and full activation of NESARA/GESARA now (allegedly) stand at the threshold of public manifestation. Multiple bonded sources confirm that Tier 1 and Tier 2 payouts have completed processing, with trillions in prosperity funds unlocked and flowing securely through the Quantum Financial System.

On or about November 20, GESARA will (allegedly) begin enforcing universal debt forgiveness, wiping clean mortgages, credit cards, student loans, and medical debt for all citizens under the Restored Republic.

Saturday, November 22 the old SWIFT system(allegedly)  officially expires.

Redemption centers worldwide are on highest alert, with notifications for Tier 4b (the Internet Group) expected no later than Tues. 25 Nov. when Redemption Centers (allegedly) officially open.

Seized Cabal assets are already (allegedly) being redistributed into individual QFS accounts, preparing for the greatest wealth transfer in human history. The Iraqi Dinar leads the revaluation wave, followed by Zim at(allegedly)  1:1 parity and the Vietnamese Dong under the new BRICS gold-backed structure.

By Thanksgiving, November 27, President Trump is (allegedly) scheduled to formally announce the return to the gold standard and the full launch of our sovereign Restored Republic.

The time of reckoning is upon us. Hold fast to faith. The best is yet to come.

Wed. 19 Nov. 2025 THE WORLD IS HOLDING ITS BREATH FOR THE CROSSING INTO 2026 – Nesara Gesara QFS

WHEN THE CLOCK STRIKES THE NEW YEAR, THE WORLD WILL NOT JUST CELEBRATE A DATE. IT WILL CROSS INTO A NEW STRUCTURE. DEBT SYSTEMS COLLAPSE. DIGITAL ID GRIDS SPLIT. QFS MIRROR NODES ACTIVATE. THE POWER OF NATIONS REARRANGES INSTANTLY, WHETHER THE PUBLIC IS READY OR NOT.

Walkingstick  Question: "What do you think about the statement Sudani made when he said, 'in the 4th quarter of 2025 we will bring you your purchasing power to your currency, we will add value to it'? It has to be voted on.  That's what they're doing...He didn't lie...They're voting on the 2025 budget and everything that's in that '25 will be reflected  in the '26 which is the new exchange rate.  Because the budgets are voted on before the new year.  You're seeing '25 activating the new exchange rate and you're going to see '26 show the new exchange rate.

Militia Man   The need is to get the rate ready first and then pass the laws because it's going to be cheaper for them to do so.  When they pass these laws it is going to be far cheaper to the country of Iraq than they would be if they were today.  In other words, the plan would be to make it cheaper, more stable, make the system work better for Iraq...The architects of this have been brilliant.  I'm fascinated on how well they've done...The last 72 hours the elections have been done, banking rails are live, they're making fuel at home, Gold and reserves are higher than advertised...BIS application filed and accepted for review...Things are working quietly in the background...Alaq has the legal button in his hands.  Let's hope he pushes it.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]    Omar: Iraq's economic plan summary Oliver Wyman August:  In 2024 to 2025 collaboration and preparation phase with the international partners.  In 2026 official implementation phase kicks off. Then they say from 2026 to 2028 is the expected timeline for the currency value to increase as part of the broader economic stability and growth strategy.  FRANK:  That's the float!  All of this is in the Oliver Wyman report?  ...I'm stunned.  I'm shellshocked.  I'm extremely surprised.  No wonder Sudani said, 'In the forth quarter.' No wonder he said all the things he's saying because everything Sudani said is in this report.

Tishwash:    The National Bank of Iraq announces the completion of its transition to the new global standard, SWIFT MX.

The National Bank of Iraq announced the completion of its transition to the new global standard SWIFT MX for financial messages, a step that marked a significant milestone in the bank's technological infrastructure modernization and enhanced readiness for digital transformation.

The bank said in a statement, “The implementation of this transformation comes as part of the bank’s transition from the old MT standard to the MX ISO 20022 model, which is the most advanced, structured and data-rich framework in the global financial messaging sector.

The transformation process was carried out across all operational channels with high efficiency and minimal downtime, reflecting the bank’s strong technical readiness, accurate planning, and commitment to providing its services without any significant interruption.” 

He pointed out that “this transformation is an advanced step within the strategic roadmap of the National Bank of Iraq to modernize its systems, enhance its compatibility with global best practices, and provide an advanced digital banking experience for its individual and corporate clients.” 

The statement quoted Aqeel Ezzedine, Chief Operating Officer and Deputy CEO of the National Bank of Iraq, as saying that “the smooth transition to the MX standard is the result of a robust system of governance, teamwork and careful planning, and represents an important step in modernizing the payments infrastructure and enhancing the reliability and security of banking operations.” 

Hani Khalil, head of the transformation department at the National Bank of Iraq, said, according to the statement, that “the completion of this transformation embodies the bank’s commitment to keeping pace with the latest international standards in payment systems, and building a more transparent, integrated and high-quality financial data structure, which enhances customer experience and strengthens the bank’s position within the regional financial system.” 

The MX standard enables a more accurate and richer exchange of information in financial messages, with substantial improvements in transaction tracking and identification of parties, supporting global trends towards greater efficiency and transparency in payments.

Since the new system came into effect, the bank has not recorded any significant problems, which confirms the success of the implementation process and the close coordination between the transformation, IT and operations teams, in addition to effective cooperation with partners and regulatory authorities.  link

Tishwash:  The oil and gas law: Kurdish priorities in the Iraqi government formation negotiations.

Following the election results and the announcement of the number of seats won by the Kurdish blocs in the Iraqi parliament, attention is now focused on the Kurds' objectives for the next phase and their future plans.

President Masoud Barzani called for the implementation and enactment of five key laws, most notably amending the election law, implementing Article 140 of the constitution, and enacting the long-stalled oil and gas law, which has been stalled for nearly two decades. He

also reiterated his call for Kurdish political forces and parties to proceed with forming the new Kurdistan Regional Government.

In his address, Barzani stated that after 2003 and the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, a golden opportunity presented itself, and the political process was built upon three principles: balance, consensus, and equality. He added that in 2005, the country's permanent constitution was ratified.

Despite some shortcomings, it is considered one of the best constitutions in the region, promising a bright future. This constitution, he emphasized, must be respected as it will usher Iraq into a new era by regulating its relations with regional and international partners.

The passage of the oil and gas law is considered a solution to most of Kurdistan's problems and a crucial step towards resolving outstanding financial issues and unifying oil policies between the federal government and the Kurdistan Region. Among these issues are the deep and persistent disagreements over energy resource management, which have prevented the law's enactment.

These disagreements have led to the law's failure to pass. The unresolved problems between Baghdad and Erbil include issues such as the oil and gas contracts signed by Kurdistan, which have resulted in legal disputes between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and the regional government.

 Meanwhile, former Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) MP Gharib Ahmed asserts that most of the outstanding problems between Baghdad and Erbil stem from the lack of an oil and gas law. Speaking to Al-Mada, he emphasized that "passing the law will contribute to resolving the most significant challenges, namely oil exports, the payment of employee salaries, and the economic problems that have plagued Kurdish citizens for years." 

He pointed out that "the disagreements between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have prevented the law's passage and its submission by the federal cabinet for parliamentary approval." 

The Kurdistan Region experienced a severe financial crisis as a result of the federal Ministry of Finance's withholding of employee salaries, accusing the regional government of failing to remit non-oil revenues and of not fully delivering oil to the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO). Months ago, the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government reached a historic agreement that allowed the region to resume oil exports through the Turkish port of Ceyhan. 

Although the federal government began disbursing salaries to employees in the region, delays persist, with Baghdad and Erbil exchanging accusations regarding who is responsible. Meanwhile , Sabah Hassan, a member of the Kurdistan Parliament from the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), indicated that passing the oil and gas law is the solution to the problems between Baghdad and Erbil.

 In an interview with Al-Mada, Hassan stated, "The solution to the problems between Baghdad and Erbil, and the crisis that recurs monthly, is the passage of the oil and gas law in Parliament, which will guarantee everyone their rights."

He added, "The salary problem has persisted for 10 years, and there is a deliberate effort by some political entities to create problems. The optimal solution to these recurring crises lies in passing the oil and gas law, as it will provide a comprehensive solution. All agreements between Baghdad and Erbil are temporary and are not adhered to by the federal government."

He emphasized that "the oil and gas law is based on a constitutional provision and article, but some political blocs are shirking their responsibility to implement this article because it pertains to the Kurdistan Region, just as they have shirked their responsibility to implement Article 140 of the Iraqi Constitution."

In Erbil, Deputy Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Qubad Talabani, received a delegation from the US-Kurdistan Business Council, headed by its president, David Tvorey. The two sides discussed several issues of mutual interest.

The Deputy Prime Minister indicated that "we support the swift passage of the oil and gas law during the new session of the Iraqi Parliament, which will contribute to resolving the disputes between the region and Baghdad in accordance with the Constitution and the relevant powers, and in a manner that respects the special status of the Kurdistan Region."

The oil and gas law is one of the most prominent outstanding issues, with disagreements resurfacing with each parliamentary session without reaching a final settlement that satisfies all parties.

Regarding he revitalization of the economy, economic expert Salar Aziz believes that the oil and gas law can only be passed by prioritizing it in the negotiations to form the Iraqi government.

In an interview with Al-Mada, he explained, "This issue must be a top priority in negotiations between the Kurdish, Shia, and Sunni parties to ensure its passage during this session. This requires unity among the Kurdish parties on this matter, speaking as a unified voice, so they can form a force to be reckoned with."

He added, "Passing the law will contribute to improving the region's economy, ending the salary crisis, operating refineries and gas plants, and utilizing the untapped oil reserves in the region's fields. link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Surging Bond Yields Signal a Brewing Financial Squeeze

Global markets tighten as shifting rate expectations pressure governments, lenders, and credit systems.

Overview

  • Long-term U.S. Treasury yields continue climbing, reflecting diminished expectations of near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts.

  • Japan’s long-dated government bond yields have spiked to multi-decade highs, driven by fears of aggressive fiscal expansion.

  • Global borrowing costs are rising simultaneously, creating stress points in sovereign, corporate, and banking balance sheets.

  • Delayed U.S. economic data adds uncertainty, forcing markets to price risk with incomplete information.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Surging Bond Yields Signal a Brewing Financial Squeeze

Global markets tighten as shifting rate expectations pressure governments, lenders, and credit systems.

Overview

  • Long-term U.S. Treasury yields continue climbing, reflecting diminished expectations of near-term Federal Reserve rate cuts.

  • Japan’s long-dated government bond yields have spiked to multi-decade highs, driven by fears of aggressive fiscal expansion.

  • Global borrowing costs are rising simultaneously, creating stress points in sovereign, corporate, and banking balance sheets.

  • Delayed U.S. economic data adds uncertainty, forcing markets to price risk with incomplete information.

Key Developments

  • Federal Reserve expectations shifted sharply, with markets now projecting far fewer chances of a rate cut in December.

  • Japan’s fiscal plans triggered investor concern, pushing yields meaningfully higher and signalling potential credit-rating and currency pressures.

  • Cross-market tightening is accelerating, with U.S. yields rising, the dollar strengthening, and credit conditions firming globally.

  • Regulators and central banks face new challenges, as rising yields expose vulnerabilities in banks, shadow lenders, and derivative markets.

Why It Matters
Tightening financial conditions are a core driver of global realignment. Higher yields increase debt-service burdens, slow growth, and raise systemic-risk potential — all foundational to a global restructuring of money, credit, and capital flows.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar – Credit & Debt Realignment: Rising borrowing costs push nations and institutions toward restructuring, refinancing, or new liquidity backstops.

  • Pillar – Monetary Policy Breakpoint: Markets are signalling the end of ultra-loose policy, accelerating the transition toward a new monetary framework.

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

Geopolitical Fault Lines Shift as Fiscal and Currency Pressures Rise

Domestic economic stress is now bleeding into diplomatic decisions and peace negotiations.

Overview

  • Japan’s surge in long-term borrowing costs is sparking international concern over future fiscal stability.

  • The yen’s renewed weakness is reviving discussions about coordinated currency intervention.

  • Reports of a newly circulated U.S. peace framework for Ukraine have intensified debates over territorial concessions and military posture.

  • Economic and diplomatic pressures are increasingly co-mingling, shaping negotiations and alliances.

Key Developments

  • Japan’s fiscal agenda is sending shockwaves abroad, as higher yields complicate its defense, social, and diplomatic commitments.

  • Currency volatility is re-entering geopolitics, with the yen's slide nearing levels that historically prompt multilateral action.

  • The reported U.S. peace outline for Ukraine signals a shift toward economic and territorial pragmatism, rather than a purely military solution.

  • Diplomatic coordination is becoming more financially driven, especially across the G7 and EU.

Why It Matters
Geopolitical alignments are increasingly dictated by economic constraints. Fiscal risk, currency instability, and war negotiations now intersect directly with the emerging global restructuring.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar – Geoeconomic Diplomacy: Nations are recalibrating foreign policy through the lens of debt, currency stability, and economic leverage.

  • Pillar – Risk & Contagion: Diplomatic shocks can trigger financial spillovers, especially where conflict, inflation, and currency instability overlap.

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

Markets Reprice Risk as Tech Volatility Spreads Across Global Equities

AI-driven optimism meets macroeconomic uncertainty, driving sharp swings across sectors.

Overview

  • Nvidia’s latest earnings beat briefly boosted global markets, calming fears of an AI-valuation bubble.

  • Earlier losses across U.S. indexes highlighted fragility, with investors bracing for delayed economic data.

  • Stronger U.S. Treasury yields and a firmer dollar complicated the bullish equity narrative.

  • Cross-asset volatility is tightening, pulling equities, yields, and FX into the same macro channel.

Key Developments

  • Tech valuations remain under the microscope, as investors debate whether AI-driven market gains are sustainable.

  • The week’s earlier sell-off revealed structural fragility, not merely headline-driven nerves.

  • Rising yields are exerting pressure on risk assets, creating tension between growth expectations and financial conditions.

  • Markets increasingly trade in lockstep, suggesting a broad system repricing rather than sector-specific movements.

Why It Matters
Markets are reflecting deep realignments beneath the surface. When equities, yields, currencies, and tech valuations shift simultaneously, it indicates structural change within the global financial architecture.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar – Asset Repricing: Tech-led volatility is signaling the early stages of a broader, multi-asset valuation reset.

  • Pillar – Risk Premium Reset: Investors are redefining acceptable risk levels as liquidity tightens and macro uncertainty grows.

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