Tishwash:  Tomorrow, the Security Council will hold a session on the situation in Iraq.

The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) announced on Monday that the Security Council will hold a session on the situation in Iraq on Tuesday.

A statement from the mission, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), said that "the United Nations Security Council will hold a session on the situation in Iraq tomorrow, Tuesday, at 10:00 a.m. New York time (6:00 p.m. Baghdad time)."

The statement added that "the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Iraq, Mohammed Al-Hassan, is expected to brief the session on developments in Iraq and on the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI)."  link

Tishwash”  An economist reveals an "impending shock" threatening creditors with the possibility of a change in the exchange rate!

Economic researcher Aziz Shwan confirmed that the Iraqi economy has recently witnessed direct effects of the policies of the government, which recently became a caretaker government, noting that these policies have had positive results and others burdened with future challenges.

Shwan explained to the newspaper's platform that the government has taken a series of measures to curb the outflow of hard currency abroad by tightening controls on dollar export channels and reducing unregulated activities. This has contributed to encouraging large investors to direct their investments domestically instead of transferring them abroad. This has had a positive impact on the local market by stimulating the productive and service sectors and giving the economy a degree of relative stability.

In contrast, Schwan pointed out that the significant expansion in government projects, especially infrastructure projects, has forced the government to increasingly rely on financing through domestic debt to cover growing obligations, creating additional pressure on public finances.

The researcher warned that the incoming government might find itself compelled to reassess the dinar's exchange rate against the dollar to make it more realistic, which could negatively impact domestic creditors, given that a significant portion of the public debt is denominated in dinars. He explained that any increase in the official dollar exchange rate would lead to a decrease in the real value of what creditors receive, threatening to create financial pressure on investors and institutions reliant on local debt instruments.

Shwan concluded by saying that the current stage represents a sensitive economic turning point for Iraq, where attempts to strengthen monetary stability intersect with the increasing requirements for financing government projects, stressing the need to adopt balanced financial and monetary planning and rearrange spending priorities to avoid side effects that may affect the market and investors and negatively impact the budgets of future years. link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani: Iraq is going through a recovery phase and regaining its leading role in the region.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Monday that Iraq is going through a recovery phase and regaining its leading role in the region, while stressing the need to keep ambassadors away from any political alignments or squabbles .

His office said in a statement received by the Mail that “Al-Sudani received the new Iraqi ambassadors on Monday, congratulating them on gaining the confidence of the government and the House of Representatives to represent their country diplomatically in various countries around the world .”

Al-Sudani stressed that “the ambassadors’ mission is not a privilege but a duty and responsibility to represent the country, and they have the duty to defend the interests of Iraq and its people in all their diversity and components, by investing their expertise in diplomatic work,” stressing that “the selection of ambassadors was subject to criteria and requirements, and we are all confident in those who were chosen to be keen on representing Iraq in the best possible way, and to contribute to formulating the strategy of Iraqi diplomacy, and building a modern diplomacy that keeps pace with the requirements of the future .”

He pointed out that "the ambassador must stay away from any political alignments or squabbles," stressing that "Iraq is currently going through a phase of recovery, stability and restoring its leading role in the region, despite the events it has witnessed ."

He added: “Our government has managed to maintain a clear approach to foreign policy, establish broad relations, and not limit them to certain countries. We have maintained our principled position towards the Palestinian issue and the Zionist aggression, which has affected Arab and Islamic countries. Iraq’s balanced position regarding the events and developments in the region must be highlighted, while preserving the interests of Iraq and its people .”

He continued: "We are working to strengthen economic partnerships, and it is among the ambassadors' tasks to present studies and proposals in this regard," indicating that "the work of embassies should reflect the positive developments in development, reconstruction and stability in Iraq ."

He pointed out that "work in the field of economic diplomacy must be strengthened, and we seek to move from a rentier economy to a diversified one, and we have worked on developing the economy through a series of banking, customs and tax reforms, to contribute to creating an attractive investment environment ."

He continued: “We face environmental challenges and a water crisis, which requires a pivotal diplomatic role in negotiating with the countries concerned and international organizations. We emphasize strengthening the role of (soft diplomacy) through cultural and sporting aspects that bring peoples closer together .”

He explained that "all capabilities will be ready to support the path of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our ambassadors in various capitals, and the joint committees must be maintained and activated, because they represent the framework of foreign relations between Iraq and the rest of the countries ."

He pointed out that "during the days of the former regime, Iraqi citizens used to flee from Iraqi embassies, but today the state, its institutions and embassies are at the service of the citizen ."

He concluded by saying, "One of the ambassadors' priorities is to care for the Iraqi communities in all their diversity and with all their needs, and to work on connecting the communities with their country  link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Evening 12-1-25

Economist: Talk Of Rising Exchange Rate Is A Media Frenzy To Serve A Specific Group.

Economy |01/12/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:   Economic researcher Diaa Abdul Karim believes that the talk circulating in the public sphere and the media about a rising dollar exchange rate is nothing more than a media frenzy serving the interests of certain financial traders.

Abdul Karim stated that "the exchange rate at official and parallel market outlets remains stable at specific figures despite slight fluctuations, which do not constitute a change in the exchange rate."

He added that "the Iraqi public is apprehensive following media rumors of an anticipated increase in exchange rates, but the reality is different. There is no official government move to raise the exchange rate, and what has occurred is merely a media frenzy."

He clarified that "the government and the monetary authority determine the official exchange rate, and it is unlikely that the rate will be changed at present or even with the arrival of the new government, especially given the stability currently prevailing in local markets."   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271011

The Central Bank Postpones The Requirement For Prior Customs Declarations Until 2026 And Exempts Four Goods From The Decision.

Economy |  01/12/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:  The Central Bank of Iraq has postponed the requirement for companies wishing to purchase US dollars for importing goods until January 2026, with the exception of four specific commodities for which the requirement remains mandatory.

This postponement comes after the procedure was initially scheduled to take effect on Monday, December 1, 2025, as previously announced by the General Authority of Customs.

In an official letter to licensed banks issued on Sunday, November 30, the Central Bank directed the suspension of the prior declaration requirement until January 1, 2026, while maintaining its mandatory nature, effective December 1, for the import of gold and jewelry, mobile phones, cars, and refrigeration equipment.

According to the decision, the prior declaration will be optional for companies importing other goods until the beginning of 2026, after which it will become mandatory. The bank exempted goods that arrived at border crossings before December 1 and for which financial transfer procedures have not yet been completed, as per the invoice or commercial contract.

On November 25, the General Authority of Customs began implementing a procedure requiring companies to pay customs duties in advance and notify the Central Bank through the ASYCUDA system to allow the entry of goods. This has led to difficulties for companies in the Kurdistan Region, as the region does not operate under this system.

In this context, Sami Jalal, advisor to the Minister of Interior in the Kurdistan Regional Government, stated in press remarks reported by the Iraq Observer Agency, “The Kurdistan Region is not part of the ASYCUDA system, and we will be in negotiations with Baghdad regarding pre-clearance customs procedures to resolve this issue before the new year.”

Companies in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region benefit from the official exchange rate set by the Central Bank at 131,000 Iraqi dinars per 100 US dollars, as part of measures to regulate import financing and control border crossings.

The Fed Just Triggered the Final Stage of the Debt Cycle

The Fed Just Triggered the Final Stage of the Debt Cycle

VRIC Media:  11-30-2025

In the intricate dance of global economics, sometimes the most profound shifts happen not with a bang, but with a whisper.

Recent insights from VRIC Media highlight just such a pivotal, yet largely unnoticed, change in Federal Reserve policy – one that could have significant implications for your investments and the purchasing power of your money.

For months, the market watched the Fed as it worked to shrink its balance sheet, a process known as quantitative tightening, aimed at draining excess liquidity.

 But something fundamental has changed. The Fed has quietly stopped shrinking. Even more remarkably, it’s beginning to expand its balance sheet again, injecting fresh liquidity back into an economy that many already describe as overheated.

To the casual observer, this move seems counter-intuitive. We’re in an era marked by:

High stock valuations: Markets seem to defy gravity.

Persistent inflation: Your dollar isn’t going as far as it used to.

Low unemployment: The job market remains robust.

Robust consumer spending: People are still opening their wallets.

Why, then, would the central bank pivot from tightening to easing monetary policy under such conditions?

The answer, as the video brilliantly explains, lies in the escalating needs of government borrowing.

With a national debt ballooning, the U.S. Treasury needs to issue more bonds than ever before. However, the market, particularly for longer-term bonds, isn’t as enthusiastic a buyer as it once was. This forces the Federal Reserve to step in as the “buyer of last resort,” absorbing government debt by creating new money.

This situation, where monetary policy primarily serves to fund government spending rather than control inflation, is known as “fiscal dominance.” It’s a critical, and potentially dangerous, crossroads for any economy.

This dynamic isn’t new; it’s a pattern seen throughout economic history. Billionaire investor Ray Dalio, in his book How Countries Go Broke, details how late-stage debt cycles behave.

When a central bank pumps liquidity into an already strong economy experiencing inflation and high asset prices, it doesn’t stabilize a crisis. Instead, it acts like throwing gasoline on a blazing fire.

This isn’t a healthy bull market; it’s an unsustainable meltup, a “sugar rush” that can feel exhilarating while it lasts. But history teaches us that these cycles inevitably end, often with a sharp market correction when the Fed is eventually forced to tighten again to rein in runaway inflation.

These assets typically outperform during periods of monetary expansion and currency depreciation because they hold intrinsic value independent of central bank policy.

This moment is historic. It marks a new chapter where monetary policy, once seen as an independent arbiter of economic stability, becomes subservient to fiscal needs.

The danger isn’t necessarily an abrupt market crash (though always possible), but a more insidious, slow erosion of currency purchasing power over the long term.

The greatest risk lies in complacency – underestimating the long-term consequences of fueling speculative bubbles rather than managing inflation and fostering sustainable growth. Understanding this shift is vital for protecting your wealth and preparing for the economic landscape ahead.

For a deeper dive into this critical analysis and further insights, make sure to watch the full video from VRIC Media. This is information you can’t afford to ignore.

589bull: Apple Already Adopted Ripple Years Ago

11-30-2025

589bull   @589bull10000

APPLE adopted Ripple’s Interledger Protocol YEARS ago.

A full baked in, production level adoption:

• Safari added ILP support

• Apple Pay’s Web Payments framework uses ILP identifiers

• ILP STREAM built into the payment request layer

• Every iPhone inherits ILP routing at the browser level

1.5+ BILLION Apple devices → ILP-capable by default.
And Interledger was created by Ripple.

They chose the protocol that CONNECTS all ledgers:

• Fiat

• Stablecoins

• FX rails

• Tokenized assets

• Blockchains (including XRP, XDC, QNT infrastructure)

• Bank deposits

• Apple Pay balances

Interledger = the neutral fabric of the new financial system.

Apple is plugged in

Now stack it up:

• XRP ETFs live

• RLUSD launching

• Banks integrating tokenization

• ODL corridors scaling globally

• Fed + Treasury alignment

• GENIUS Act rails forming

• XRPL AccountSet clusters exploding

• XDC trade rails activating

• BNY Mellon custody infrastructure warming

Interledger is the protocol Apple already adopted.

When liquidity starts ripping across networks at machine speed, all that matters is the router.

And the router is ILP.
The value conduit is XRP.
The interface is Apple.

People are going to wake up one day and realize:

XRP is already installed on every Apple device on Earth.

We’re so early.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Singapore Expands Ripple’s Regulated Crypto Capabilities, Advancing Institutional Digital Payments

New licensing scope signals rising acceptance of tokenized payment rails across Asia-Pacific.

Overview

• Singapore’s financial regulator has approved an expanded operational scope under Ripple’s Major Payment Institution license, granting broader authority to facilitate regulated digital-token payment services.

• The new approval enables banks, corporates, and financial institutions to use Ripple’s platform for regulated digital payments — including the use of tokens such as XRP and Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin.

• The expansion aligns with Singapore’s long-term strategy to lead digital-asset innovation and support institutional-grade payment infrastructure.

Key Developments

• Ripple’s Singapore subsidiary can now provide a full end-to-end payments stack, including collection, custody, swapping, and cross-border payout capabilities through regulated channels.

• Rapid growth across Asia-Pacific — with on-chain transaction activity recently reported up more than 70% year-over-year — has strengthened Singapore’s position as a regional digital-asset hub.

• Ripple stated the updated license will streamline institutional workflows and accelerate adoption of tokenized payments across high-volume corridors.

• The development follows broader regional momentum toward regulated stablecoins, digital-payment protocols, and automated liquidity networks.

Why It Matters

The formal integration of tokenized assets into regulated payments systems reflects a deeper shift in global monetary architecture. As institutions transition toward blockchain-enabled settlement, traditional banking rails face increasing competition from faster, programmable, cross-border digital payment networks. This transition may define the next decade of global finance.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 3 — Institutional Restructuring, Monetary Policy & Systemic Shift

A major regulator expanding tokenized-payment permissions for an institutional provider signals a structural transition away from legacy correspondent-banking systems and toward digital, automated, interoperable payment rails.

Pillar 2 — Currency & Reserve System / FX

As stablecoins and digital tokens become embedded in licensed financial infrastructure, global currency flows may increasingly route through tokenized systems, changing liquidity dynamics and reducing reliance on traditional fiat-only pathways.

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

Global Manufacturing Slump Deepens, Signaling Broader Economic Weakness Ahead

Sharp declines across Europe and Asia raise concerns about demand contraction and capital-market vulnerability.

Overview

• New manufacturing data from major European and Asian economies shows a sharp decline in November output, marking one of the steepest month-over-month contractions this year.

• The slump reflects weakening global demand, persistent cost pressures, and reduced export activity across multiple regions.

• Analysts warn that the slowdown could spill over into equities, commodities, and global capital markets.

Key Developments

• Surveys show that both new orders and production volumes fell at a faster-than-expected pace, underscoring a widespread loss of industrial momentum.

• Asian manufacturers — including sectors in China, Japan, and South Korea — reported reduced forward bookings and weaker global shipping volumes.

• European manufacturers continued to struggle with declining consumer demand and elevated input costs, compounding existing recession fears.

• Economists note that the slowdown is beginning to affect corporate earnings expectations, credit conditions, and investor sentiment.

Why It Matters

A synchronized manufacturing downturn across major economies is a high-impact leading indicator that global growth may be entering a prolonged cooling phase. This environment typically triggers a flight to safety, with investors shifting from risk-heavy sectors into hard assets, metals, defensive equities, cash equivalents, and digital stores of value.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 4 — Markets (Equities, Capital Flows)

A slowdown in global manufacturing threatens earnings, investor appetite, and liquidity — increasing market fragility and encouraging a reallocation toward safer or non-traditional assets.

Pillar 5 — Metals & Hard Assets

As industrial weakness pressures financial markets, investors often seek refuge in gold, silver, and other tangible assets, reinforcing the hard-asset pillar of the reset narrative.

Pillar 2 — Currency & Reserve System / FX

Recessionary conditions typically generate currency volatility, driving strategic portfolio hedging and raising questions about long-term reserve stability.

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

TNT:

Tishwash:  A senior US official arrives in Baghdad

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Michael Regas arrived in Baghdad on Monday, December 1, 2025, on an official visit to strengthen relations between the United States and Iraq.

The visit includes meetings with Iraqi officials and a visit to American diplomatic facilities.

The visit aims to support shared goals of achieving sovereignty and prosperity and enhancing stability and security in the region.  link

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

Tishwash:  “Key” is the guarantor of Iraq’s funds

 The global smart card company's vision stems from the concept of "an easier life," where financial services are guaranteed for both citizens and the state. It relies on the best electronic systems to prevent the misappropriation or misuse of public funds.

One of the company's most significant achievements for the country was uncovering a large number of fraudulent individuals who had no real existence and were instead depriving legitimate beneficiaries of government financial support. Through its advanced technologies, the company ensured the smooth flow of funds to the rightful recipients.

 To guarantee everyone's rights, the company adopts and leverages the best smart systems worldwide to offer advanced products characterized by ease of payment. This makes it the first national company to provide world-class services and keep pace with the latest developments in the international electronic payment field.

The company recognizes its significant responsibility to serve citizens and meet their needs, alleviating the burdens of life by providing world-class financial services. It continues its service operations across a wide area of ​​the country, tailored to the needs of Iraqi families who require easy access to advanced financial products.

A review of financial activities and the payment landscape in Iraq reveals continuous development. The company operates in accordance with the demands of the local market, which seeks sustainable development and requires advanced products that prevent the return of those who manipulate public funds. This is emphasized by the directives of the Iraqi government and the Central Bank of Iraq, which regulates electronic payments and has contributed to a qualitative leap in this field, aiming to transition transactions from cash to electronic.

Adopting the best global payment systems, which facilitate financial transactions and provide them with greater flexibility and security, represents a growing objective for the company in its future endeavors. This is especially crucial given the urgent need to develop the payment system in Iraq, as it is a key driver of economic growth. The volume of work expected in Iraq necessitates the development of the payment system and the adoption of the best global technologies.
"K" Company understands that flexibility in conducting financial transactions is essential for the smooth and continuous operation of business.

Developing the components of electronic payments and keeping abreast of global developments in payment systems are among the most important aspects of its work, ensuring that our products are on par with the best international products.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Nasik Islamic Bank: Expanding customer service channels is a priority

Al-Nasik Islamic Bank confirmed that its management is working to expand its services to citizens by developing banking products that meet the needs of various segments.

A responsible source at the bank stated that the bank seeks to provide practical solutions that facilitate customer transactions and keep pace with the rapid changes in the financial sector.

The source mentioned that the bank's management has developed a plan to introduce new services based on modern technologies and adhering to the Sharia standards that the bank adopts in all its dealings. He pointed out that the goal is to provide a more flexible and faster banking experience, especially with the increasing demand for digital services.

He added that the bank is focusing on promoting a culture of modern banking transactions in line with the trends of the national market, noting that management closely monitors customer feedback and strives to improve procedures to ensure better service.  link

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

Tishwash:  The Central Bank identifies 3 solutions to address the debt issue

The Central Bank of Iraq identified three solutions to address the country's debt problem.

While noting that a large part of the internal debt could be addressed through joint understandings, it stressed the need to diversify non-oil revenues and increase investments, asserting that these approaches would transform the economy from a rentier economy to a diversified and productive one.

Earlier, a number of economic experts downplayed the risks of Iraq’s internal and external public debt, stressing that its ratio is still within the safe international standard range, indicating that the strength of the foreign currency reserves has contributed to the stability of Iraq’s financial situation.

Amid this, the Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Dr. Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, stated in a statement to Al-Sabah last week that “only $3 billion remains of the Paris Club debt, and it will be settled by 2028, and that 47% of the internal debt remains within the investment portfolio of the Central Bank of Iraq, and it is covered as cash liquidity or cash liabilities at a rate of more than 100% in foreign currency, thanks to the strength of Iraq’s foreign reserves.”

The official spokesperson for the Central Bank, Alaa Al-Fahd, explained to Al-Sabah newspaper that “all countries, including the United States of America, have internal and external debts,” indicating that debt is not considered negative for the economy if it is directed towards investment spending, because it generates 

For additional entry.

Al-Fahd continued, "The debts in Iraq are to cover the operational budget deficit, meaning they are directed towards consumption, and therefore they are a future constraint on debt repayment." 

And its installments and interest.”

Al-Fahd identified three ways to address the country’s debt, most notably diversifying non-oil revenues, increasing investments, and partnering with the private sector, which could reduce dependence on oil, while acknowledging the difficulty of achieving the latter option in a short period of time.

Al-Fahd explained that the external debt amounts to $13 billion, while the internal debt amounts to 91 trillion dinars, noting that a large part of it can be dealt with because the banks are government-owned and state-owned, ruling out that these debts pose any danger to the economic reality, but continuing to rely on debt constitutes a warning bell, according to his description.

For his part, Dr. Ahmed Al-Hathal, Professor of Economics at Al-Mustansiriya University, said that the problem does not lie in the size of the debt as much as it lies in the way it is financed.

Al-Hathal added to Al-Sabah that “financing the deficit through the monetary institution by discounting bonds and financing current spending is the most dangerous path because it leads to unproductive monetary expansion that raises inflation and puts pressure on the exchange rate, and it also weakens the balance sheet of the central bank after it has come to own a large part of the internal debt, which is a worrying situation in any economy.”

He explained that the danger lies in the rentier nature of the economy, with inflated operating spending, stagnant non-oil revenues, and the inability of productive sectors to generate added value. This makes domestic borrowing for consumption, rather than investment, a future burden, because the state will pay off the debt burden by putting pressure on the limited tax capacity of the national taxpaying power, while the risks move from banks to public finances and then directly to the currency.

Al-Hathal explained that the accumulation of non-tradable bonds limits the ability of the monetary policymaker to manage liquidity and increases the fragility of the financial position, while inflationary financing leads to greater pressure on foreign reserves and depletes stabilization tools, making the currency vulnerable to decline with any oil shock.

He pointed out that talking about diversifying revenues and increasing investment remains logical in principle, but it does not address the real problem of continuing to finance the deficit in a way that generates inflation, increases monetary expansion, and weakens the ability to stabilize the currency, at a time when obligations are rising year after year without real structural reform. link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Geopolitical Tensions Reshape Investor Behavior Amid Shifting Global Alliances

Heightened uncertainty over conflict, energy security, and alliance structures pushes capital toward safer, alternative stores of value.

Overview

• Persistent geopolitical instability — especially surrounding Ukraine, energy security, and defense coordination — is driving investors back toward safe-haven assets.

• Growing skepticism about traditional alliance structures has led market analysts to revisit the possibility of new settlement mechanisms, regional blocs, or alternative currency arrangements.

• Volatility in defense and energy policy continues to influence global capital flows, intensifying concerns about systemic imbalances in the existing financial order.

Key Developments

• Military and diplomatic uncertainty remains elevated, prompting defensive investment strategies and increasing attention to metals, commodities, and non-traditional assets.

• Energy supply anxieties continue to pressure markets as winter demand rises and logistical risks persist, forcing investors to account for geopolitical disruptions.

• Expanding discussions around alternative settlement frameworks — including new trade blocs and currency pathways — reflect rising doubts about the durability of the current monetary system.

• Analysts note that investor psychology is increasingly tied to the perception of systemic realignment, not just short-term conflict dynamics.

Why It Matters

The continued geopolitical volatility reinforces a global environment defined by uncertainty, where traditional institutions and alliances appear less stable than in previous cycles. This atmosphere encourages both governments and investors to explore alternative financial systems, new trade routes, and non-Western monetary structures, all of which feed directly into the broader narrative of a coming restructuring in global governance and finance.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Diplomacy & Peace / Geopolitics

Persistent conflict, shifting alliances, and rising geopolitical distrust are accelerating conversations about whether the old global order can maintain cohesion. These tensions create openings for new coalitions and alternative governance models.

Pillar 3 — Institutional Restructuring & Systemic Shift

Growing interest in new trade and currency blocs underscores a re-evaluation of existing systems, with geopolitical pressures acting as the catalyst. As confidence erodes in legacy frameworks, momentum builds for structural change in how nations coordinate economically and politically.

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

Dollar Weakness Deepens as Markets Price in 2026 Rate Cuts

Shifting expectations for U.S. monetary policy raise questions about future reserve-currency balance.

Overview

• The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) continued to fall, with futures sliding into the 99.40–99.50 range, reflecting growing market conviction that the Federal Reserve will adopt a more dovish stance heading into 2026.

• This persistent dollar softness is renewing speculation about a long-term shift in the global reserve-currency structure, as investors weigh the implications of sustained monetary easing.

• Analysts note increasing interest in diversifying away from USD-centric portfolios, fueling discussions about alternative currencies and multi-polar FX arrangements.

Key Developments

• Futures markets now overwhelmingly anticipate rate cuts, citing slowing economic momentum and moderating inflation indicators.

• The decline in dollar strength is strengthening foreign-currency performance broadly, particularly in emerging-market FX.

• Institutional investors are again revisiting the idea of reserve diversification, a topic that historically gains traction whenever the dollar shows extended cyclical weakness.

• The shift has revived public debate around future global reserve weighting, including potential roles for gold, commodities, and digital settlement assets.

Why It Matters

Dollar volatility is more than a market story — it is a structural question about the durability of U.S. monetary leadership. As rate expectations pivot, the global financial system must reassess its assumptions about liquidity, pricing power, and cross-border flows. A sustained period of dollar weakness would have direct implications for trade, debt sustainability, and the geopolitical balance built on USD dominance.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Currency & Reserve System / FX

Markets are increasingly preparing for a potential re-weighting of global reserves, driven by shifting interest-rate trajectories and weakening confidence in the dollar’s singular role.

Pillar 3 — Institutional Restructuring & Systemic Shift

The scenario reinforces broader discussions about reshaping the global monetary architecture, with more nations signaling interest in diversified FX exposure, regional settlement currencies, and alternative stores of value.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Morning 12-1-25

In Numbers: An Expert Reveals The Size Of Oil And Non-Oil Revenues And The Financial Deficit In Iraq

Baratha News Agency186 2025  Economic expert Haider Al-Sheikh revealed on Sunday (November 30, 2025) the latest figures related to oil and non-oil revenues, in addition to the size of the financial deficit that Iraq is facing during the current year.  The sheikh said in a press statement that oil export revenues during the past ten months amounted to 89 trillion dinars, and are expected to rise to 105 trillion dinars by the end of the year.

He added that "non-oil revenues will reach 13 trillion dinars by the end of the year."

The sheikh explained that “approximately 80 trillion dinars of the total annual revenues are spent on the salaries of employees and retirees and the social protection network, while the remainder goes to the state’s general expenditures.”

He pointed to "a financial deficit estimated at 30 trillion dinars," attributing this to "the size of current spending and the government's inability to disburse the dues and requirements of a number of ministries, most notably the Ministry of Health, due to the budget schedules not being approved yet."

For years, the Iraqi economy has been heavily reliant on oil revenues, which constitute more than 90% of the country's resources, making public finances highly vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices. Although the government has announced plans in recent years to increase non-oil revenues, their contribution remains limited and insufficient to meet the growing needs of public spending.

The budget also depends on the salaries and social transfers section, which represents the largest expenditure item, while the service ministries suffer from a lack of funding and continued delays in disbursing their dues due to the failure to approve the detailed budget schedules.   https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/468385

Iraq Is The Third Largest Supplier Of Oil To America Last Week

Sunday, November 30, 2025 | Economy Number of views: 271   Baghdad/ NINA / Iraq ranked third among the top oil exporters to the United States last week, marking a significant increase, according to figures released Sunday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The EIA reported that "U.S. crude oil imports averaged 5.692 million barrels per day (bpd) last week from eight major countries, up 335,000 bpd from the previous week's 5.337 million bpd." The report

added that "Iraq's oil exports to the U.S. averaged 378,000 bpd, up 286,000 bpd from the previous week's 92,000 bpd, placing it third among oil exporters to the United States."

The EIA also noted that "the largest share of U.S. oil imports last week came from Canada, followed by Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil."

According to the table, "US crude oil imports continued from Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela, while no imports came from Ecuador or Libya last week." /End   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1264416

The Central Bank Determines The Size Of Iraq's Internal And External Debts.

Banks   Economy News — Baghdad   The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed that Iraq’s debts are to cover the operational deficit and do not pose a direct threat to the economy.

Central Bank spokesman Alaa Al-Fahd told the official newspaper that "all countries, including the United States of America, have internal and external debts," explaining that debts are not considered negative for the economy if they are directed towards investment spending, because they generate additional income.

He continued, "The debts in Iraq are to cover the deficit in the operational budget, meaning they are directed towards consumption, and therefore they are a future constraint for paying the debt, its installments and interest."

Al-Fahd identified three ways to address the country's debt, most notably diversifying non-oil revenues, increasing investments, and partnering with the private sector, which could reduce dependence on oil, while acknowledging the difficulty of achieving the latter option in a short period of time.

He explained that the external debt amounts to $13 billion, while the internal debt amounts to 91 trillion dinars, noting that a large part of it can be dealt with because the banks are government-owned and state-owned, ruling out that these debts pose any danger to the economic reality, but continuing to rely on debt constitutes a warning bell.

Japan Is DUMPING U.S. Debt — A Global Market IMPLOSION Is Coming

Japan Is DUMPING U.S. Debt — A Global Market IMPLOSION Is Coming

Lena Petrova:  11-29-2025

Japan’s latest economic gamble is shaking the global financial system—and today we step back and unpack exactly what’s happening, why it matters, and how it could directly impact YOU.

Japan’s new multi-billion-dollar stimulus package has triggered market turmoil, sent the yen plunging, and raised serious questions about the future of U.S. borrowing.

With the yen hitting its weakest levels in nearly a year, Japan’s finance ministry is signaling possible intervention—but markets aren’t convinced.

Economists warn Japan’s aggressive spending could unintentionally destabilize the U.S. economy, especially as Japanese government bonds and the yen fall simultaneously, a rare and alarming signal of capital flight and market distrust.

For decades, Japan has been America’s biggest foreign lender, buying trillions in U.S. Treasurys and keeping American borrowing costs low. But that era is ending. With domestic Japanese bond yields soaring to 20- and 30-year highs, investors now have strong incentives to bring their money home.

 In just one quarter, they dumped $62 billion in U.S. Treasurys—an exit that analysts warn could push U.S. yields even higher.

 This shift affects YOU: mortgage rates near 7%, record credit-card APRs, rising car-loan costs, and a U.S. government suddenly facing higher borrowing rates after 40 years of cheap money fueled by Japan. As Japan battles aging demographics, 235% debt-to-GDP, weak currency, and rising geopolitical tensions with China, the country no longer has the capacity to subsidize America’s spending.

Even more dangerous: an unstable yen threatens the global “carry trade,” which supports everything from U.S. stocks to emerging markets. A carry-trade unwind could trigger rapid market volatility—something analysts at BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, and Société Générale say is now a real possibility.

This is a financial turning point. The era of easy money is over. The world is shifting. And understanding this transition is essential for protecting yourself and your finances.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Venezuela Pushes Back as U.S. Airspace Dispute Escalates

Caracas condemns Washington’s move as tensions rise over military operations, sovereignty, and regional security.

Overview

• Venezuela condemned the United States after President Donald Trump declared Venezuelan airspace “closed” in a public statement.

• Caracas called the move an illegal and unilateral act, asserting that Washington has no authority to close another nation’s skies.

• The dispute comes amid U.S. military operations targeting alleged narcotrafficking vessels, intensifying geopolitical frictions in the Caribbean.

Key Developments

• Venezuela’s Foreign Minister denounced Trump’s statement as a “colonialist threat” and an unjustified act of aggression.

• The U.S. FAA had previously issued a “hazardous situation” warning for airlines flying over Venezuela, prompting several carriers to suspend operations.

• In response, Venezuela revoked operating rights for airlines that failed to resume service within two days, escalating commercial aviation tensions.

• The International Air Transport Association urged Venezuela to reconsider, warning of long-term connectivity disruptions.

• U.S. military presence off Venezuela’s coast has significantly increased, with the USS Gerald R. Ford carrier group deployed to the region.

• Washington continues a months-long strike campaign against alleged drug-trafficking vessels, resulting in more than 80 fatalities across the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

• Venezuelan leaders insist they will defend national sovereignty, conducting military drills and warning they are prepared to respond to any U.S. attack.

• Trump has not ruled out sending U.S. troops into Venezuela, adding uncertainty to an already volatile regional environment.

Why It Matters
This confrontation exposes deepening geopolitical fractures in the Western Hemisphere. Aviation restrictions, military escalation, and competing claims of sovereignty risk destabilizing a region already strained by sanctions, contested elections, and transnational crime. The U.S.–Venezuela dispute now intersects with broader questions of international law and legitimacy, with both sides accusing the other of unlawful actions.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Geopolitics & Diplomacy: The standoff reinforces a world shifting toward multipolar tension, where sovereignty disputes and military pressure are increasingly used as tools of geopolitical influence.

• Pillar — Systemic Risk: Airspace restrictions, sanctions, and military deployments inject uncertainty into global trade, transport corridors, and regional stability — strengthening the trend toward alternative alliances and parallel economic systems.

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

BRICS Currency Pivot Ends the Era of “Stuck Rupees”

Russia and India unlock smooth national-currency trade flows, reshaping sanctions-era payment structures.

Overview

• Russia and India have quietly resolved the long-criticized issue of “stuck rupees,” allowing trade settlements in national currencies to flow without delays.

• Sberbank India has implemented automation and AI-driven systems that now process Russia–India payments in minutes rather than days.

• Bilateral trade—much of it conducted in rubles and rupees—has accelerated to record levels as both countries move decisively away from dollar-denominated transactions.

Key Developments

• Russian and Indian officials confirm that national-currency settlements now dominate bilateral trade, replacing previous reliance on U.S. dollars and euros.

• Sberbank India reports that rupee conversion—once the bottleneck that created billions in “stuck” funds—now functions smoothly with no restrictions on the amount converted.

• Up to 70% of Russian exports to India are being settled through Sberbank’s Indian branch, which has restored full banking services for cross-border clients at significantly faster speeds.

• Automated processing and AI-assisted systems allow Russia–India payments to be posted within minutes, marking a major breakthrough compared to the multi-day waits common in 2022–2023.

• The resolution comes as Russia–India trade nearly doubled year-over-year, driven heavily by India’s increased purchases of discounted Russian oil.

Why It Matters
The disappearance of the “stuck rupees” problem is more than a banking fix—it represents a structural transition toward a new financial architecture among BRICS nations. With Russia and India now executing seamless, sanctions-resilient settlements in local currencies, both countries have reduced exposure to Western banking systems and unlocked a more autonomous trade environment.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — De-Dollarization Acceleration: By settling most bilateral trade in rupees and rubles, Russia and India deepen the global movement toward non-dollar financial systems.

• Pillar — Parallel Payment Infrastructure: The success of Sberbank’s automated cross-currency systems gives BRICS nations a working template for broader national-currency integration outside Western channels.

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

What Happens to XRP if it Becomes the Backbone of the Global Monetary System?

What Happens to XRP if it Becomes the Backbone of the Global Monetary System?

November 29, 2025

The world of digital assets is no stranger to ambitious predictions, but a recent X post from @KuwlShow has set the internet alight with a particularly audacious thought experiment: could Ripple, the company behind XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), one day command a valuation north of $7 trillion?

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show:

A Ripple $7 Trillion Valuation

 Q: At Ripple’s most recent post money valuation, what might new valuation estimates rise to if the pending Clarity Act resulted in Ripple retaining 17 Billion XRP at a value of $250, the XRPL blockchain and XRP bridge token gaining global clarity from the U.S. Government as our new monetary system infrastructure and XRP paired with RLUSD represents the new U.S. digital dollar the world over?

A. If all of this actually happens – Clarity Act, full U.S. Treasury blessing, XRPL as core global rails, RLUSD/XRP as the de-facto US Digital Dollar pair – then Ripple’s valuation doesn’t just “go up a lot.”

On paper it jumps into multi-trillion-dollar territory just from its XRP stack alone, before even pricing in the payments/stablecoin business. Let’s walk it out cleanly and keep it grounded.

1. Today’s anchor: Ripple’s latest valuation Ripple’s most recent strategic round (Fortress, Citadel, Pantera, Galaxy, Brevan, Marshall Wace, etc.) priced the company at about $40 billion post-money. That $40B reflects:

 • Payments (Ripple Payments) • RLUSD stablecoin & treasury/prime brokerage (Ripple Prime, custody)

• XRP Ledger exposure and associated software

• Current regulatory clarity as of now (GENIUS Act, etc.), but not “world’s base-layer monetary system” status.

So: baseline = $40B. 2. This scenario inputs outlined above: We’re framing a world where:

1. Clarity Act + Treasury blessing

• XRP + XRPL get explicit, durable U.S. Treasury / global regulatory clarity as a core infrastructure layer for the “new monetary system.”

 2. XRP at $250 • Today XRP is ~$2.2 with ~60.25B tokens in circulation, implying a ~$120–130B market cap.

• Hypothetically: XRP reprices to $250.

3. Ripple beneficially owns 17B XRP

• We’ll accept this as the post-Clarity, post-escrow, post-SPV reality.

 4. RLUSD + XRP become the default “digital U.S. dollar rails” globally • RLUSD is already ~$1B market cap with ~$95B+ in payments volume and growing.

• Scenario above ramps XRP to a global settlement role vs. niche crypto. Let’s keep all the math mechanical and then talk about how markets might actually price it.

 3. Mechanical mark-to-market: Ripple’s XRP pile at $250 3.

1. Value of Ripple’s 17B XRP • Price per XRP (scenario): $250

• Beneficial holdings: 17,000,000,000 XRP 17 Billion XRP x $250 = $4.25 Trillion So, $4.25 trillion of value just from that XRP position.

For context:

 • That’s 6.6x Visa’s current market cap ($640B).

• 8.6x Mastercard’s ($494B). • World GDP is ≈$117T; $4.25T is ~3.6% of world GDP.

 So in this scenario:

• Total XRP market value ≈ $15T • Ripple’s 17B stack ≈ 28% of circulating XRP (17 / 60.25 ≈ 0.282).

 • Ripple’s XRP holdings alone = $4.25T, before any business multiple. Already, that dwarfs ANY existing private company.

 How public markets might price Ripple equity under this scenario?

We can think of the equity valuation as: Ripple Value ≈ (Value of XRP Treasury ± Discount) + (Value of Payments / Stablecoin / Infra Franchise)

Let’s run three illustrative bands, not predictions. 4.1. “Conservative but still insane” band (Markets deeply discount concentrated XRP risk)

 Assume:

• Markets apply a 60–80% discount to that $4.25T XRP stack because:

• Huge concentration in one asset

• Political risk – if it becomes monetary infra, governments want a say

• Possible capital controls, windfall taxes, or forced restructurings

 • So equity gets credit for only 20–40% of the XRP mark-to-market: 0.20 times 4.25T = 0.85T 0.40 times 4.25T = 1.70T Now, let’s layer on the infra franchise:

 • If XRPL+RLUSD run a systemically important share of global settlement, card-net/FX-network style comps (Visa, Mastercard, SWIFT-equivalent) easily justify $0.5–1T+ by themselves, based on today’s ~$640B and ~$494B for Visa/Mastercard.

Resulting “conservative” band: ~$1.3T – $2.7T Ripple equity value That’s roughly 30–70× today’s $40B. 2/2 cont’d below

This isn’t just “hopium” – it’s a meticulously laid out scenario that, while highly speculative, forces us to consider the monumental shifts required for blockchain technology to truly become the backbone of a new global financial system.

The numbers are staggering, moving far beyond typical crypto discussions and into the territory of systemic global finance. We are talking about potential valuations that rival the GDP of entire nations.

Here’s a deep dive into the extraordinary thought experiment that posits Ripple, the company behind XRP and the XRPL, could achieve a valuation north of $7 Trillion.

From Fintech Challenger to Monetary Super-Utility

To understand the core argument, we must first anchor ourselves in the present. Ripple, following its most recent strategic funding rounds involving giants like Fortress, Citadel, and Pantera, sits at a current post-money valuation of roughly $40 billion. This valuation reflects its growing payments network, its custody business, and the nascent success of its stablecoin, RLUSD.

The $7 Trillion scenario, however, requires a leap of faith based on four massive, interlinked assumptions outlined in the X post:

The Four Pillars of the Super-Giant Scenario

The Clarity Act & Treasury Blessing: XRP and the XRPL must receive explicit, durable regulatory clarity from the U.S. Treasury, cementing their status as a core infrastructure layer for the “new monetary system.”

XRP at $250: The price of XRP must reprice from its current levels (around $2.20 at the time of the scenario’s construction) to $250, reflecting its new role as a global settlement asset rather than a niche crypto token.

Ripple Retains a Vast Stack: Ripple maintains control over 17 Billion XRP post-escrow and restructuring.

RLUSD/XRP as Default Global Rails: The combination of RLUSD (Ripple’s stablecoin) and XRP becomes the de-facto backbone for the global digital U.S. dollar and a major FX settlement layer.

If these four monumental shifts occur, the resulting valuation landscape is completely unrecognizable.

The Mechanical Math: $4.25 Trillion from XRP Alone

The initial, non-negotiable step in the analysis is calculating the mark-to-market value of Ripple’s alleged XRP holdings under this scenario.

The calculation is straightforward:

17 Billion XRP (Ripple’s holdings) x $250 (Hypothetical Price) = $4.25 Trillion

This single number—$4.25 Trillion—immediately changes the conversation.

To put $4.25 Trillion into perspective, as the post noted:

It is 6.6 times Visa’s current market capitalization (~$640 billion).

It is 8.6 times Mastercard’s market cap (~$494 billion).

It represents approximately 3.6% of the world’s current GDP.

This calculation shows that if XRP reaches $250, Ripple’s ownership stake alone becomes the most valuable asset held by any single private company in history, eclipsing the value of even today’s tech giants.

Pricing the Equity: Discounting the God-Mode Asset

However, a company’s equity valuation is not just the sum of its raw assets. Markets must price in the practical business operations (payments, stablecoins, brokerage) and, crucially, the extraordinary risks associated with holding a position of systemic monetary power.

The X post explored three potential valuation bands, based primarily on the discount the market would apply to that $4.25 Trillion XRP stack.

1. The Conservative (But Still Insane) Band: $1.3T – $2.7T

In this scenario, markets apply a severe discount (60–80%) to the XRP holdings due to concentration risk, political pressure, and potential government intervention (windfall taxes, enforced public utility status).

If the market credits Ripple with only 20–40% of the $4.25T stack ($0.85T to $1.7T), and

Adds the value of the infrastructure business (RLUSD, payments rails) at a combined Visa/Mastercard level ($0.5T to $1.0T)…

…Ripple’s valuation still comfortably lands between $1.3 Trillion and $2.7 Trillion—a 30x to 70x increase from today.

2. The Infrastructure Super-Giant Band: $3.1T – $4.5T

If the market believes the regulatory clarity is rock-solid and the XRPL truly dominates global payment and USD rails, the discount is less severe (50–70% of the XRP stack credited). Layering on a $1T–$1.5T value for the payments/stablecoin business brings the valuation into the $3.1 Trillion to $4.5 Trillion range.

At this level, Ripple is no longer a fintech company; it is officially a global monetary super-utility.

3. The Extreme Monetary Plumbing Band: $7T+

If the XRPL/RLUSD stack is treated as the singular backbone for international settlement (the new SWIFT + Fedwire + Visa combined), and the market applies minimal discount to the XRP stack (80–100%), the valuation climbs to the high end: $7 Trillion or more.

Crucially, the post points out that at this extreme level, the regulatory environment would likely force structural change. It becomes impossible for a single, private cap table to hold so much systemic power without triggering serious antitrust concerns, national security reviews, or demands for multi-sovereign governance.

The Indispensable Reality Checks

The power of this thought experiment lies in its meticulous math, but its responsibility lies in its reality checks. The author of the X post was careful to anchor the discussion in three critical points:

The $250 Price Tag is a Paradigm Shift: Hitting $250 requires not just hype, but a fundamental, system-wide shift in global monetary architecture where XRP is utilized by central banks and institutional players worldwide.

Sovereign Control is Inevitable: If the XRPL becomes critical global plumbing, sovereigns and international bodies will insist on checks, oversight, and shared control. Private companies simply cannot be allowed to have “god-mode” over global money flows.

Transparency and Prudence are Mandatory: Any new monetary system that achieves this scale must enforce transparency, remove hidden leverage, and prevent the same kind of capture that plagued the legacy financial system. If those conditions aren’t met, the valuation is unstable.

Conclusion: Expanding the Vision

The $7 Trillion valuation scenario is not a prediction; it is a powerful discernment exercise. It forces us to confront the true scale of what Ripple and the XRPL community aim to build—a financial architecture that is systemically important at a global level.

Whether XRP hits $250 or Ripple ever achieves a multi-trillion-dollar cap depends less on technology and more on global politics, regulatory frameworks, and governance structures.

What this analysis makes perfectly clear is that the crypto company that successfully transitions into the global settlement layer will generate wealth and systemic power on an unprecedented scale, transforming itself from a venture-backed startup into one of the most critical institutions on the planet.

Rob Cunningham: XRP and the Clarity Act, What this means for America

Rob Cunningham: XRP and the Clarity Act, What this means for America

11-29-2025

Rob Cunningham | KUWL.show   @KuwlShow

Ripple – XRP – America – Clarity Act

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR AMERICA

America has been stuck with an old, slow, confusing money system for decades—one that loses people’s hard-earned dollars, hides fees, lets middlemen skim off the top, and keeps the average person in the dark.

But what’s happening now changes everything:

1. Money will finally move the way life moves – fast.

No more waiting days for paychecks to clear, transfers to settle, or banks to “process” something simple.
Money will move instantly, 24/7, with no hidden nonsense.

2. Fees drop. Transparency rises. No more backroom games.

The current system hides fees, delays payments, and makes mistakes that nobody can trace.
This new system works like a public calculator where errors can’t hide.
You’ll see exactly where your money goes.

3. New American jobs, new industries, new small-business growth.

Any time a new “highway” gets built—whether it’s roads, electricity, or the internet – millions of new jobs come with it.
This new financial “highway” is no different.
America will build it, run it, and benefit from it.

4. A stronger dollar that people all over the world trust again.

Instead of printing money into worthlessness, America uses real value, real transparency, and real accountability to support the dollar.

A strong dollar means:

higher purchasing power

lower inflation

more respect on the world stage

5. Less power for hidden middlemen. More power for Americans.

For years, the financial system rewarded insiders and punished regular people.
This shift puts the power back where it belongs—in the hands of the public, not the bureaucrats, not the big banks, not the middlemen.

6. America becomes the world’s financial “light tower” again.

Instead of reacting to world events, America leads.
Other nations turn to us—not because we force them, but because our system is fair, fast, and trustworthy.

7. Our money becomes safer, clearer, and more honest.

No tricks.
No gimmicks.
No fine print.
Just honest accounting and immediate settlements.

In Plain English:

This is America fixing what was broken – with honesty, accountability, technology, and common sense.

It means:

Better jobs

Better money

Better opportunities

A better future for families, workers, veterans, retirees, and small business owners

It means we stop repeating old mistakes…and start building a system worthy of the people who live in this country.

This isn’t about crypto.
This isn’t about politics.
This is about America upgrading its financial engine so everyone can finally run on equal ground.

If our U.S. Treasury and Ripple both held 17% of XRP at $250, shareholders of both entities would have an asset valued at $4.2 Trillion.

Starting from Ripple’s most recent $40B post-money valuation, if XRP truly ran to $250 and Ripple still held 17B XRP under a Treasury-blessed XRPL/RLUSD/XRP global monetary regime, reasonable mechanical valuation frameworks spit out multi-trillion-dollar Ripple equity numbers – roughly $1 to $7T+, with the low end already bigger than Visa and Mastercard combined, and the high end bumping into “this changes our world forever” territory.

The Art of The Deal Cometh.

Tishwash:  Industry and Minerals: Iraq's silica reserves exceed 350 million tons

The Ministry of Industry and Minerals announced that the proven reserves of silica in Iraq amount to more than three hundred and fifty million tons.

Ministry spokeswoman Duha al-Jubouri said that silica is a vital raw material used in many important industries.

She explained that the most prominent strategic industrial sectors in which silica is used are glass industries, solar cells, and thermal industries.

In addition to insulators and electronics, noting that the ministry is currently working on utilizing them mainly in the glass and refractories industries.  link

Tishwash:  Savaya: Big changes are coming to Iraq

US President Donald Trump’s envoy, Mark Savaya, announced on Sunday that he will arrive in Iraq within the next two weeks, confirming that he carries “a special message from President Trump to the leadership in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.”

“Big changes are coming in Iraq, and from now on everyone will see actions instead of words,” Savaya said in a press statement, indicating Washington’s seriousness in taking concrete steps toward the outstanding issues.

Earlier today, Savaya confirmed via the “X” platform that the world views Iraq “as a country capable of playing a larger and more influential role in the region, provided that the issue of weapons outside the framework of the state is completely resolved, and the prestige of official institutions is preserved.”  link

Tishwash:  International experts: Iraq represents a promising destination for business and investment.

John Wilkes, the former British ambassador to Baghdad and a member of the advisory board of the Iraqi-British Business Council, praised the flourishing infrastructure in Iraq, predicting that the new government would continue its approach of supporting investment and developing the economy.

This came during a seminar organized by the Iraqi British Business Council (IBBC) and the British Chamber of Commerce in Turkey (BCCT) entitled “Doing Business in Iraq”, which reviewed investment opportunities and mechanisms for entering the Iraqi market.

The participants affirmed that Iraq represents a promising destination for business, noting that international cooperation contributes to promoting sustainable economic development.

For his part, Robin Steelick of the Pilgrims organization discussed the security situation in Iraq, stressing the importance of local knowledge to avoid any limited disturbances, noting that the overall economic situation is stable and calm.

Jamil Shukair, CEO of SC Middle East, also presented an overview of the overall financial situation, emphasizing that the fundamentals of the Iraqi economy are developing positively, with a growing population and demand for services, along with increased oil production and large-scale construction projects driving economic growth.  link

Tishwash:  An economic lesson for the next prime minister

Dr. Bilal Al-Khalifa

After the Great Depression of 1932, which hit the world and America, US President Roosevelt, succeeding Herbert Hooper, issued a decision two days after taking office to declare a bank holiday and close all banks. This was on March 6, 1933.

Then he issued Executive Order No. 6102 on April 5, 1933, which is the most exceptional of executive orders, written in dry language and included.

I, Frank Delano Roosevelt... pronouncing the existence of patriotism... prohibit persons and principal partnerships within the United States... from hoarding gold water, gold bullion, and gold-backed securities... and I require consequently that all persons surrender on the first of May 1933 or earlier to any Federal Reserve Bank... or to any Reserve Reserve Member all gold coins, bullion, and legal tender securities in gold... and whoever willfully violates this Executive Order... shall be fined not more than ten thousand dollars... or imprisoned for a term not exceeding ten years.

In summary, the people must endure and accept the difficulty of the decision and hand over the gold to the government, otherwise they will be punished. For your information, this decision is political suicide for the following reasons.

1- Because it included a threat of imprisonment and a fine for those who violate it

2- Because the price of gold rose after this, it was a loss for people.

Finally

3- The citizen will refrain from electing him and his party for the next term.

America has succeeded in overcoming the crisis, therefore we need a prime minister in the next government who does not think about how to win votes in the upcoming elections, but rather focuses on the economic recovery of Iraq. Economic improvement means social, political, and security improvement.  link
