Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
Putin’s India Visit Seeks to Reinforce Energy and Defense Ties Under Sanctions Pressure
New Delhi weighs strategic cooperation with Moscow against the risk of U.S. retaliation
Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
Putin’s India Visit Seeks to Reinforce Energy and Defense Ties Under Sanctions Pressure
New Delhi weighs strategic cooperation with Moscow against the risk of U.S. retaliation
Overview
Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting India for the first time in four years as Moscow and New Delhi attempt to stabilize their long-standing partnership amid shifting global dynamics.
Russia remains India’s largest supplier of defense equipment and, since 2022, a major source of discounted crude oil.
Western sanctions have sharply limited Russia’s market access, while India has increased its purchases of U.S. energy, reducing Russian crude flows to a three-year low.
Key Developments
Russia is looking to secure new contracts for oil sales, technical equipment, and major defense platforms such as the Su-57 fighter jet and additional S-400 air-defense units.
India seeks to maintain stable defense supplies and explore the potential restoration of ONGC Videsh’s stake in Sakhalin-1, which has been in dispute since sanctions intensified.
Washington has doubled tariffs on Indian goods in response to Russian crude imports, raising the stakes for any deepening India–Russia cooperation.
Key state-owned firms — including Rosneft, Gazprom Neft, Rosoboronexport, and Indian refiners IOC and BPCL — remain central to ongoing negotiations.
A free-trade agreement between India and the Eurasian Economic Union is also under consideration, potentially broadening economic ties.
Why It Matters
India’s defense ecosystem still relies heavily on Russian equipment, spare parts, and servicing — reliance that cannot be unwound quickly. At the same time, India is trying to avoid triggering additional U.S. penalties that could affect its export markets and technology access. Putin’s visit highlights how global sanctions regimes are reshaping bilateral relationships, supply chains, and geopolitical calculations for emerging powers.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Strategic Realignment Under Sanctions — Russia’s turn toward the Global South underscores how sanctions are accelerating alternative partnerships and redirecting energy flows.
Pillar: Defense and Energy Interdependence — India must balance national security needs with exposure to U.S. trade pressure, illustrating the complex choices mid-sized powers face in a fragmenting global order.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Bank Boosted by Indonesia’s $1 B Commitment — What It Means for De-Dollarization
Jakarta formalizes Indonesia’s NDB entry; dollar alternatives gain momentum
Overview
Indonesia has committed US$1 billion to the New Development Bank (NDB) as part of its formal entry into the BRICS framework.
The move follows Indonesia’s accession to BRICS in January 2025 and reflects Jakarta’s intention to deepen economic ties with Global South partners.
The contribution strengthens alternative development-finance channels outside Western-dominated institutions and positions Indonesia to tap new capital for major national projects.
Key Developments
Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto confirmed the $1 B allocation during a national leadership meeting of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin) on December 1, 2025.
As a new member of the NDB, Indonesia expects improved access to funding for sustainable development, infrastructure expansion, energy transition, and digital-connectivity projects.
The NDB holds $100 B in authorized capital, with founding BRICS members controlling the majority of subscribed shares. To date, the bank has financed roughly $39 B across 120 projects focused on transport, clean energy, and sustainability.
President Dilma Rousseff highlighted Indonesia’s strategic regional role and praised its leadership in biofuels, noting its 40% achievement in biodiesel blending.
Indonesia’s participation aligns with a broader BRICS strategy to expand local-currency use, develop alternative payment systems, and reduce reliance on the US dollar — though global dollar dominance remains substantial.
Why It Matters
Indonesia’s $1 B investment signals a major pivot toward diversified financial partnerships that reduce reliance on Western-led institutions like the IMF. The NDB provides Indonesia with development capital without policy-conditionality requirements, giving Jakarta more flexibility as it advances national strategic projects. At the same time, expanded NDB membership strengthens the institutional architecture of the Global South, broadening non-dollar financial pathways at a moment of growing geopolitical and monetary realignment.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Diversified Financial Infrastructure — Indonesia’s entry reinforces the rise of alternative multilateral banks, reducing concentration of global financial power and increasing options for developing economies.
Pillar: Momentum for De-Dollarization — While full de-dollarization remains unlikely in the near term, Indonesia’s membership adds weight to efforts promoting local-currency trade and non-Western financing systems.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Ukraine–Russia Peace Push Enters Critical Phase as U.S. Envoys Meet Putin
Trump team accelerates negotiations amid battlefield disputes and European unease
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Ukraine–Russia Peace Push Enters Critical Phase as U.S. Envoys Meet Putin
Trump team accelerates negotiations amid battlefield disputes and European unease
Overview
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have arrived in Moscow for a pivotal meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin focused on advancing the latest U.S.-crafted peace framework for Ukraine.
Russia claims full capture of Pokrovsk, a major logistics hub in eastern Ukraine—a claim Kyiv vigorously disputes, saying fighting continues and dismissing Moscow’s announcement as propaganda.
European leaders fear Trump may pressure Ukraine into unfavorable concessions, as President Volodymyr Zelensky tours Europe to reinforce a united negotiating position.
Internal turbulence in Kyiv complicates matters after the resignation of top negotiator Andriy Yermak amid a major corruption scandal.
Key Developments
Witkoff–Putin Meeting Set for 5 p.m. Moscow Time
The Kremlin says the session will last “as long as necessary.” Only Witkoff, Kushner, and a translator are attending from the U.S. side. This will be the sixth meeting between Putin and Witkoff in 2025.Russia Claims Pokrovsk Has Fallen — Ukraine Rebuts
Putin announced the “full capture” of the city, but Ukrainian commanders say Russian troops staged a flag-planting photo op and “fled in a hurry.” Fighting reportedly continues across multiple districts.Zelensky Briefed Following U.S.–Ukraine Talks
Ukraine’s president received detailed updates from American officials on the battlefield situation and the revised peace proposal after recent leaks of calls between Witkoff and senior Russian officials.Kremlin Praises Trump’s Peace Plan
Moscow describes the U.S. proposal as “a very good basis,” while criticizing Europe for blocking dialogue and continuing to consider seizing frozen Russian assets.Espionage Allegations Against NATO Member Soldier
A British military trainer in Ukraine has been detained and accused of working with Russian intelligence to plan targeted killings.Ongoing NATO Support, Despite Trump’s Position on Entry
Ukraine’s defense minister met with the U.S. Ambassador to NATO to discuss strengthening defense cooperation via the PURL initiative, even as Trump rules out Ukrainian NATO membership.
Why It Matters
The peace process is moving faster than at any point since the war began, but deep geopolitical fractures remain unresolved. Moscow seeks Ukrainian neutrality and territorial concessions; Kyiv aims to preserve sovereignty and security guarantees; Europe is wary of a U.S.-brokered deal that could fundamentally reshape the continent’s post–Cold War security order.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Diplomatic Realignment
A U.S.-Russia negotiation path — sidestepping the EU — signals a major restructuring of security authority, shifting influence away from multilateral European institutions.
Pillar 2: Currency & Trade Architecture
Russia’s emphasis on de-dollarized trade with India and continued development of alternative payment systems aligns with broader moves away from Western financial dominance, a trend likely to accelerate under any peace settlement.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Japan Weighs Restart of the World’s Largest Nuclear Plant Amid Rising Energy Pressures
Niigata Prefecture faces a pivotal vote as Japan balances energy security with post-Fukushima public trust
Overview
Niigata Prefecture’s regional assembly is preparing to vote by December 22 on whether to restart Unit 6 of the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa Nuclear Power Plant — the world’s largest.
The facility, operated by TEPCO, has been offline since the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi disaster, which reshaped Japan’s national energy policies and public opinion.
Japan’s current energy mix depends heavily on imported fossil fuels, which supply 60–70% of its electricity, straining costs as industrial and digital-economy demand surges.
Key Developments
The restart proposal centers on Unit No. 6, a 1,356-MW reactor that could come online as early as January if approved by the Niigata assembly.
Unit No. 7 may follow later, while remaining older units face potential decommissioning.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi supports nuclear restarts as part of Japan’s broader strategy to strengthen domestic energy security and reduce vulnerability to volatile fuel imports.
Local residents and civic groups continue to express concerns, particularly over evacuation procedures and TEPCO’s post-Fukushima safety record.
TEPCO remains responsible for ongoing compensation payments linked to the 2011 disaster and continues to conduct safety drills as part of its risk-mitigation commitments.
Why It Matters
Japan is facing an increasingly tight energy environment driven by industrial expansion, advanced manufacturing, data-center growth, and AI-intensive systems. Restarting Kashiwazaki-Kariwa would relieve pressure on the grid and reduce costly fossil fuel imports. Yet the decision carries deep emotional and political weight: trust in nuclear safety has not fully recovered since Fukushima, and public approval remains fragmented.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Energy Security Realignment — Japan’s potential restart of its largest nuclear facility signals a strategic shift toward stable, domestic energy generation amid global supply constraints and rising electricity demand.
Pillar: Infrastructure & Industrial Resilience — A domestic power boost supports Japan’s manufacturing base and digital-sector growth, reinforcing national competitiveness at a time of evolving geopolitical energy pressures.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Global Dollar Dump Explained, Start of a Currency Reset?
Global Dollar Dump Explained, Start of a Currency Reset?
David Lin: 12-2-2025
In a world drowning in economic uncertainty, knowing where to anchor your portfolio is vital.
Recently, David Lin sat down with Peter C. Earle, Director of Economics and Economic Freedom at the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) and author of Gold in Uncertain Times, for a profound discussion on the current economic landscape.
Earle didn’t mince words. He argues that the major financial challenges we face today—from government overspending to geopolitical friction—are not temporary bumps in the road, but signals of a fundamental structural shift.
Global Dollar Dump Explained, Start of a Currency Reset?
David Lin: 12-2-2025
In a world drowning in economic uncertainty, knowing where to anchor your portfolio is vital.
Recently, David Lin sat down with Peter C. Earle, Director of Economics and Economic Freedom at the American Institute for Economic Research (AIER) and author of Gold in Uncertain Times, for a profound discussion on the current economic landscape.
Earle didn’t mince words. He argues that the major financial challenges we face today—from government overspending to geopolitical friction—are not temporary bumps in the road, but signals of a fundamental structural shift.
His core message? The soaring price of gold is not a speculative anomaly; it is a direct reflection of the terminal decline of fiat currencies, including the US Dollar.
For years, skeptics have dismissed gold’s movements as emotional trading or fear-driven speculation. Earle strongly refutes this. He states explicitly that the current strength in gold prices is not a bubble, but a response to deep, systemic pressures.
Gold’s renewed importance stems from the unlimited monetary discretion exercised by central banks and governments.
When currencies are debased through massive debt accumulation and money printing, gold—which cannot be created by legislative fiat—reasserts its historical role as the ultimate store of value.
The Key Distinction: This isn’t a temporary flight-to-safety; it’s a structural realization that fiat currencies are losing their purchasing power and, crucially, their credibility as a reliable anchor in global finance.
While central banks often point to inflation or interest rates as the primary hurdles to growth, Earle isolates the major impediment as pervasive uncertainty.
When businesses lack clarity about future costs or market access, they hoard cash rather than deploy it for growth. This stagnation stifles productivity and economic expansion far more effectively than monetary tightening alone.
The conversation also tackled recent volatility in technology stocks and cryptocurrencies, contrasting the current environment with historical speculative manias.
Earle acknowledges that while some overvaluation exists—echoing sentiments from analysts like Ray Dalio—the foundational strength of today’s tech giants differentiates them significantly from the dotcom bubble of the early 2000s.
Today’s major tech firms possess proven profitability, dominant market share, and robust business models.
However, policy proposals aimed at restructuring global economic power remain a source of substantial concern.
Earle expressed pointed skepticism regarding the so-called “Mar-a-Lago Accord,” a proposed framework focused on using tariffs, Treasury market adjustments, dollar devaluation, and treaty renegotiations to restructure US economic power.
He highlighted the inherent risks of such a strategy, particularly the challenge of deliberately managing currency value.
Attempts to devalue the dollar unilaterally often lead to competitive devaluation—a race to the bottom where other nations respond by weakening their own currencies, ultimately creating chaos rather than stability.
A significant portion of the interview was dedicated to the historical function of gold and the possibility of returning to a gold-backed system.
Earle views the abandonment of the gold standard as the critical moment that removed the essential “guardrail” against governmental excess.
Historically, gold provided fiscal and monetary discipline by forcing governments to limit their debt and the money supply. They could only spend what they had access to in gold reserves.
Who benefits from moving away from this discipline? Those interests that thrive on discretionary monetary policy and unlimited borrowing.
Given the current trajectory of massive debt accumulation and weakening fiat currencies globally, Earle believes gold’s role will only grow—not just as an investment hedge, but potentially as a key metric for economic valuation moving forward.
Facing this uncertain landscape of structural shifts and policy unpredictability, Peter C. Earle offered clear, actionable advice for investors:
Hedge against monetary debasement by holding real assets that retain value regardless of currency fluctuations. Gold and silver remain the premier choices in this category.
In an environment where central banks are continually fighting inflation and interest rates remain elevated, excessive reliance on debt amplifies risk and vulnerability.
Invest in skills and knowledge that are resilient to economic downturns and structural unemployment shifts. Personal competence is a powerful form of economic insurance.
Earle’s final caution is for investors to maintain vigilance. Watch the signals, pay attention to the structural shifts, and recognize that the economic dynamics of the next decade will likely be fundamentally different from the last.

UK Banks Get a Boost as BoE Eases Capital Rules — What It Means for Lending and Growth
London shifts regulatory posture to stimulate credit as global banking stress recedes
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
UK Banks Get a Boost as BoE Eases Capital Rules — What It Means for Lending and Growth
London shifts regulatory posture to stimulate credit as global banking stress recedes
Overview
The Bank of England has lowered core capital requirements for major UK banks, reducing the Tier 1 minimum from 14% to 13%.
The shift follows strong banking-sector performance in recent stress tests and reflects confidence in the resilience of the financial system.
Regulators also flagged areas of rising systemic risk, including high valuations in AI-driven firms and rapid expansion of the private-credit market.
Key Developments
Major UK banks now have greater flexibility to lend or return capital to shareholders.
The BoE plans a broader review of how leverage ratios and capital buffers are structured, signaling potential further easing.
Despite loosening rules, regulators emphasized continued vigilance amid emerging asset bubbles.
Why It Matters
Lower capital requirements could stimulate bank lending and economic activity at a time of slowing global growth. But they also reduce shock-absorbing capacity if financial conditions deteriorate. This pivot signals a key moment in the balance between economic stimulus and systemic safeguards.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Banking Resilience vs. Credit Expansion
The shift encourages more liquidity and lending — but raises questions about the long-term integrity of global bank-risk structures.
Pillar: Regulatory Divergence & Systemic Risk
As the UK loosens rules while other regions maintain tighter regimes, global capital may begin reallocating toward lighter-regulated jurisdictions, reshaping flows and balance-sheet risk profiles.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Eurozone Banks Launch Joint Stablecoin Initiative to Reclaim Payments Sovereignty
European lenders race to build digital-money infrastructure independent of U.S.-centric systems
Overview
Ten of Europe’s largest banks have formed a new joint company to launch a euro-backed stablecoin.
The system aims to provide a European-controlled digital-payments architecture for cross-border use.
The initiative marks the strongest move yet by traditional banks to challenge private stablecoins and U.S.-dominated payments rails.
Key Developments
The consortium plans to release its first regulated stablecoin in 2026, pending licensing approval.
The initiative is intended to serve businesses, banks, and consumers seeking faster and more efficient cross-border transactions.
The project reflects growing pressure in Europe to secure monetary autonomy in digital finance and reduce reliance on U.S. intermediaries.
Why It Matters
A bank-backed euro stablecoin could significantly shift the trajectory of digital-payments innovation. It could also reduce dependence on legacy card networks and the global dollar system — both central components of financial power and international leverage.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Payment-System Decentralization & Monetary Sovereignty
A euro stablecoin marks a direct challenge to dollar-based global payment corridors and accelerates Europe’s pursuit of monetary independence.
Pillar: Digital-Currency Infrastructure & Global Trade Settlement
The move pressures other regions to accelerate CBDC and stablecoin development, reshaping the structure of global settlement networks and reserve-currency dynamics.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Macron’s China Visit Highlights Europe’s Balancing Act Between Trade and Security
Paris seeks stability, access to technology, and protection of strategic industries
Overview
French President Emmanuel Macron will make his fourth state visit to China this week, with meetings scheduled in Beijing and Chengdu.
The visit comes amid intensifying strains between Europe and China over trade imbalances, strategic technologies, and geopolitical alignment.
European officials have warned that relations with Beijing have reached an “inflection point,” driven by concerns over China’s industrial overcapacity, dominance in key tech sectors, and its support for Russia.
Key Developments
Macron aims to rebalance Europe’s trade relationship with China, especially as Chinese steel and electric vehicle (EV) exports pressure European industries.
The European Union is advancing a new economic security doctrine to address risks linked to critical supply chains, technology transfers, and Chinese industrial policies.
China seeks to preserve its access to European markets while encouraging domestic consumption and showcasing innovation-driven economic growth.
The United States is closely watching the visit, wary of potential divergence between U.S. and European China policy.
Major European industries — including Airbus, French automakers, and advanced manufacturing sectors — have substantial interests tied to the outcome of the visit.
Why It Matters
Europe relies heavily on China for advanced technology, rare earth processing, and key inputs for its energy and EV industries. Macron must navigate economic dependency, strategic competition, and geopolitical pressure — maintaining European competitiveness without provoking trade retaliation or undermining U.S.-EU coordination. His diplomacy will influence broader EU-China relations at a time when the global economic landscape is rapidly shifting.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Strategic Trade Realignment — Europe is recalibrating its economic partnership with China to reduce vulnerabilities in critical industries while preserving access to essential technologies.
Pillar: Geopolitical Equilibrium — Macron’s engagement reflects Europe’s effort to maintain strategic autonomy, balancing U.S. expectations with its own economic priorities as global power centers continue to shift.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Tuesday Morning 12-2-25
Silver Jumps To An All-Time High, Supported By Tight Supplies
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up Silver prices jumped more than 2% on Monday morning, hitting a new record high, benefiting from a continued decline in global supply and rising expectations of an interest rate cut in the United States this month.
Silver traded at $57.86 an ounce, its highest level ever, extending its gains for the sixth consecutive day after rising 6% in Friday's session.
Silver Jumps To An All-Time High, Supported By Tight Supplies
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up Silver prices jumped more than 2% on Monday morning, hitting a new record high, benefiting from a continued decline in global supply and rising expectations of an interest rate cut in the United States this month.
Silver traded at $57.86 an ounce, its highest level ever, extending its gains for the sixth consecutive day after rising 6% in Friday's session.
On the stock market, shares of silver mining companies also rose on Monday, with Sun Silver shares climbing 20% and Silver Mines shares rising 12% in Australia, while shares of China Silver Group, listed in Hong Kong, jumped 14%.
Silver prices have more than doubled since the start of the year, supported by limited supplies in physical markets.
In 2025, silver stole the spotlight from gold after recording unprecedented record levels, confirming that its controversial title of "the devil's metal" is not without reason, as it is known for its sharp fluctuations that confuse markets and surprise investors.
Silver, which usually moves in the shadow of gold, made a historic leap this year, after its price exceeded $54.47 an ounce in mid-October, an increase of 71% year-on-year, before retreating slightly only to rise again amid a supply shortage crisis.
Market experts believe that this wave is not temporary, but rather carries new dynamics that may push prices even higher. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62914
Silver Prices Are Set To Shine In 2025
Stock Exchange Silver prices reached record highs in 2025, placing it in the spotlight and attracting the attention of global investors, despite challenges related to limited supply.
The metal, sometimes called "the devil's metal" due to its extreme volatility, achieved exceptional gains this year, coinciding with the rise in gold prices, which surpassed $4,000 per ounce.
Silver prices reached a record high of $54.47 per ounce in mid-October 2025, marking a 71% increase compared to the previous year, before declining slightly and then rising again.
This surge in silver prices is attributed to data indicating continued high demand relative to limited supply. A significant portion of the price increase is attributed to the growing demand from India, the world's largest consumer of silver.
The metal is used in the manufacture of jewelry, household items, and decorative objects, and the country's annual consumption is approximately 4,000 metric tons.
Prices in India rose to a record high of 170,415 rupees per kilogram on October 17, an increase of 85% since the beginning of the year, while the Indian market relies on imports that account for about 80% of its supply.
The industrial and technological dimension of silver demand is no longer limited to investment or traditional use. It has expanded to include growing industrial needs, particularly with the increasing production of electric vehicles, artificial intelligence applications, and solar energy.
Silver is used in standard electric vehicle batteries at a rate of approximately 25 to 50 grams per vehicle, and this could reach one kilogram in future vehicles with solid-state batteries. Silver is also utilized for its high electrical and thermal properties, making it a key component in modern clean energy industries.
Experts explained that the current supply and demand cycle, coupled with the scarcity of mine production in Central and South America over the past decade, makes silver one of the rare metals that combines investment value with industrial applications, reinforcing expectations that its prices will remain high in the near future.
October 2025 marks the third time in 50 years that silver prices have peaked, following January 1980 when the Hunt brothers attempted to control the market, and again in 2011 after the US debt ceiling crisis, when investors turned to gold and silver as safe havens. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62888

Oil Prices Rose, Supported By OPEC+ Production Plan And Concerns Over Venezuela.
Economy |01/12/2025 Oil prices rose by as much as 1.5% after OPEC+ countries confirmed their plan to halt production increases during the first quarter of next year, in addition to concerns about potential US action against Venezuela, an oil-producing nation, which caused market volatility.
By 00:52 GMT, Brent crude had pared its gains to settle at $62.99 a barrel, up 0.98%. US West Texas Intermediate crude also rose 0.99% to $59.12 a barrel.
OPEC+ had agreed in early November to halt production increases, a move aimed at slowing efforts to regain market share amid concerns about oversupply.
Following Sunday's meeting, OPEC+ stated that it reaffirms the importance of a cautious approach, while maintaining full flexibility to halt or reverse any further voluntary production adjustments. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271009
Oil Companies Extend Invitations To US Firms To Manage The West Qurna/2 Oil Field
Economy | 05:12 - 01/12/2025 Mawazin News – Baghdad The Ministry of Oil announced that it has taken the necessary steps to transfer the management of the West Qurna/2 oil field to a major American oil company, emphasizing that this move aims to sustain production and enhance the stability of global markets.
In a statement, the Ministry said, "The procedures included direct and exclusive invitations to a number of major American companies, entering into direct negotiations with them, and receiving their bids. The transfer process will be conducted through transparent competition and according to the established criteria for awarding oil field development contracts."
The Ministry added that "transferring the management of the West Qurna/2 field to an American oil company will serve mutual interests, enhance the stability of global markets, and ensure the continuity of Iraqi oil production operations, market share, and the sustainability of the country's resources."
It affirmed that this step strengthens the joint economic relations between Iraq and the United States and contributes to the transfer of modern technology, benefiting both countries.
The Ministry noted that "the participation of more major American companies in developing the Iraqi oil sector underscores Iraq's strategic importance in this sector and contributes to diversifying the international expertise operating within it, thus achieving Iraq's economic interests and ensuring their sustainability." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271035

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

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.

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
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.

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

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.

Singapore Expands Ripple’s Regulated Crypto Capabilities, Advancing Institutional Digital Payments
New licensing scope signals rising acceptance of tokenized payment rails across Asia-Pacific.
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.

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

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

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.
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.
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

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.
