Welcome everybody to the big call. It is Tuesday, January 28th and  you’re listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for tuning in yet again to hear what we have to offer tonight on this platform we know as the big call.

All right, let's do this - let's, let's talk about Intel Bob, and let's get this rolling here. All right, so let's do that  -- Now I have a little bit of a disclaimer  to say right now, two different things. One, you guys know that I've been doing this for quite a while, and I would never try to tell you anything that it's not true.

I would  do my best to vet the information that I get, and also to use discernment on what I should bring and how to tell you about it. Now you guys know that I don't create any intel. My main handler that funnels the Intel say, does not create Intel. The Intel is coming from multiple sources.

I know some of you wonder, well, why don't you ever tell us who you, who you're getting this from, or whatever? Well, I can tell you some of these people are, let’s put it this way. They're not public figures. They're behind the scenes people. Some of them are computer people that that manage and have put up the Starlink satellite system. Some of them are military. They go pretty high up.

Some of them are what we call redemption center operatives. Generally, they're all the leader of the redemption center where they work, or in some cases, some of the people are over six redemption centers, or seven redemption centers, or three redemption centers. Those three particular cases and some are bank bond people that help  redeem the bonds that are out there.

Some are executives, high up, executives with Wells Fargo, and we don't always get the information that we're looking for. Some and more recently, more people are under new NDAs. More people have been told not to say anything to certain people, and it's been getting a little harder to get the information that we want and get it's been a little bit tough, but we generally have something to bring out on every Tuesday and Thursday night that is relevant.

Now, it may only be relevant for a period of time before the information is added to what we already have. We get enhanced information timing things that help to tend to help us explain where we are or why it didn't go or what we still need in the way of to happen behind the scenes.

So this is really changing scenario, and you guys know that by now, I'm sure. But I've been told by one of our sources said this is like a military operation that can change at any moment. And I think he was right. I think we've seen that. Certainly we've been very close, at least in the minds of our sources and the very good sources, and yet, for some reason or another, we didn't go. It wasn't ready. We just didn't go.

So I'm telling you right now that there are certain people on two calls that are out there, that you guys know about, that are speaking against the concept of redemption centers, as if they don't matter or don't exist, the banks, banks, banks are the only way to do these exchanges. And it's so unbelievably untrue, because the people that are in charge of the redemption centers, we know the people that send out the emails that they get from Treasury Wells Fargo to go out to the redemption centers across this country, and there are,  I believe it's over 10,000 redemption centers in in the United States, not including what there is in Canada, which is overseen by HSBC. The ones in us were seen by Wells Fargo.

The ones in Mexico and further South and Central America and so on are also seen by Uncle Santander, which is Santander Bank. HSBC has a lot of the international locations in Europe and other countries. I contract primarily on, of course, the United States and Canada, a close trading partner and neighbor to us. Also, I get information out of Canada, and it's very helpful and it's very positive.

So just be aware that if we miss it, or we miss date, or something happens like that, that try not to shoot the messenger. I'm somebody that brings you the best of what I hear - and, you know, listen, there are times when things come out and I’m not  happy with what I’m getting and I'm saying  wait a minute -that is bringing this into play or that into play.

 Why hasn't that been done? Whatever I don't I'm not 100% I'm not a lay down when it comes to getting this information you guys to know. It affects me, affects Sue - it affects all of you. If I get something that I that seems like it's not right –

I heard something the other day, I don't know about that. That does not seem to be accurate, find the next day or so that same person will give you some information that will clarify it. Or they go okay, I see what I see what that was all about.

 Now let me tell you where, where we are, what we're hearing.  Let's talk about Iraq for a minute.

Iraq, Was sent half a billion dollars in Fiat dollars, in other words, the money that we currently have in our wallets and not in our purses. If you're woman, they would send this half $1,000,000,000. 500 million by the Biden administration before this past election, the 2024 election, and they were trying to support and delay the RV and our start?

 Well, I heard this yesterday, that those monies, they need to be picked up in Iraq. Iraq still believes that if you're in Iraq listening to this call in Arabic, let me tell you, for the most part, not everybody, but for the most part, Iraq still has more faith in our fiat dollar, which has nothing but the full faith and  track record essentially, of the US government behind it.

Now that's about to change – In a matter of a couple of days, we'll have our USN and USTN, United States Treasury note currency out. I believe it'll be I heard today between 24 & 36 hours for that to occur.

Now, in the meantime, Iraq has Fiat dollars that they're not supposed to be using. Fiat money outside of the United States is worthless.  It has no value.

Now what's going to happen is the people that have this money in Iraq need to exchange it for low denomination Iraqi dinar, and I believe they're doing that right now and continuing to do that until that's that's all gone, or that those Fiat dollars that were brought over by the Biden administration will have no value

All right, so that's one of those little things that may have been holding this up, and they continue to hold it up for a little while, but not very long. I don’t think it's big enough to hold this thing up for more than a few days.

The other thing that I find very interesting is that the timing for this? We know that we have an asset back, dollar, our USN, which is United States note -  You know, come to United States. New digitally, ready to go. It is ready to go. The timing on it looks to be 24 to 32  to 36 hours from now, and we'll all be all set --  in the redemption centers for the past year and a half our US Treasury notes, which is our new currency, our new our new folding money is in the redemption centers, and it's shrink wrapped. It's shrink wrapped and ready for us.

The banks also have it, probably in the vault -  maybe in drawers, but always in the vault. It's not in the teller drawers yet, not at the teller stations. So that's ready to go. And when we get in for exchanges at the redemption center, we will get, we can have, I don't want to take more than $500 in cash in the new US Tia notes. They just think too much cash  could be security risk, and we could end up, you know, losing it or something.  So  that's part of it.

So we have the belief that what we’re hearing from some of our other sources that are bond holders or bond pay masters, is that the release of funds, and let's go back and talk about this, the release of funds tonight or overnight.

Tonight is for the fines and penalties adjudicated settlements, the CMKX, the so called intermediaries, which are farm claims, ranch claims and possibly Native American claims, all of those fit into a category, category that we call intermediaries. They're sort of between tier three and tier four, but they are occurring along with funds going out for bond holders that should receive emails. Bond holders should receive emails tomorrow, telling them that they should have access to their funds on such and such a date.

Okay, so here's something else that I found very interesting. One of our stronger international redemption center leaders said that we would get this – our notifications within five days, and that was including tomorrow, or actually included today, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, which is the first of February, Saturday that we would have this on, or by the first of February.

 Now, the latest information so far that I received today is talking about the possibility of getting something over the next 24 to 36 hours. That sort of brings in the possibility of Wednesday, Thursday. Now they could directly based on the idea of five days, could take us all the way out to Saturday, which is February 1. So I guess I'm trying to narrow it down and say it's possible.

Hold on. One moment. Sue. If you're still there, I'm going to take this call real briefly. Thank you Sue. All right, so when we look at this, look at the concept of it could go in a couple of days. I'm saying tomorrow and Thursday are in play, but it could just stretch us out to Fridays, Saturday or Saturday, Saturday, which means we could get notified Friday and start Saturday.

We could get notified Saturday, start Saturday and kick off the weekend. Or, if everything gets completed like we hope, we might be looking at something in the next couple of days before the end of the month.

As far as R and R is concerned, I was told  not to say it won't happen this month, as it still could three days left though, I’m not very confident in that and I definitely don't feel confident increase in Social Security in the month of January, like we had been told, this is again, where the Intel morphs and changes as the situation changes as time goes by.

But we'll have to see when, when that comes out now when we get our new USN currency announced , when we get it out, and we're part of a golden era right now, okay, President Trump is referring to this as a start of a new golden age.

He's referring to the gold backed USN dollar, and he's warned of symbolic things in the past, like the like, for example, he might wear a gold pie, or he might have the White House lit up in gold lights. That was happened a few days ago that took place. So there's symbolism, but you have to look for it.

And we're getting sort of teased on the idea of no income taxes. Well, you remember back it was brought out that they're looking at a so called fair tax, which is really a consumption tax, which that's all part and parcel of NESARA

And so they've been hinting at these things and teasing, and they're talking about this bill and that bill, well, NESARA is a bill that was passed a long time ago, but it was never enacted, and I believe President Trump will enact that. And as part of it, part of that is having an asset backed currency again for us, because, look, a lot of the countries around the world are already gold backed, and we'll be gold backed and backed by other precious metals and other assets, the USN, and We'll have the strongest dollar. Will have the strongest currency again in the world. So that's all happening  for us that's coming in.

So I'm looking forward to a really good week, rest of the week, and possibly weekend, and I want everybody to stay positive for it  and I'm going to do best I can to bring you the best version of the intel that I get as we vet. And I haven't gotten anything else new tonight like I'd hoped before ending the big call - so obviously  I’m hoping  I'll have something more but Thursday, but hopefully we get this thing to kick off by the big call, or before it, in which case Thursday night's call would be a celebration call.

So I'm excited about it and looking forward to it - So let's, let's get ready to just the next  few days to the result of this, and to have everything that we're looking for come through when we get those emails and can set the appointments, realize our dinar contract rate is only available at the redemption center.

 Number one, if you have dinar. And two, the Zim is only redeemed at the redemption centers. So that tells you, right there, you really have to set up an appointment with 800 number, which is very simple, and you'll set that up for a redemption center that's closest to your zip code, and you'll be taken through on this, not very much.

And then you'll be connected to a redemption service person, I believe a live person, will actually finalize the urban setting and answer a few questions for you. Okay, so be aware of that. Look for the emails that would come from Wells Fargo if you're in the United States, and probably HSBC, data and  Central or South America, all right, and let's do this, pray call out, and then we'll take it from there.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS: US DOLLAR FALLS AS TRUMP TARIFF PLAN TAKES A TURN

Geopolitical tensions are nearing a fever pitch as the global south and the west face off. With de-dollarization efforts at the forefront, the two sides have shown no interest in budging.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS: US DOLLAR FALLS AS TRUMP TARIFF PLAN TAKES A TURN

Geopolitical tensions are nearing a fever pitch as the global south and the west face off. With de-dollarization efforts at the forefront, the two sides have shown no interest in budging.

However, things took a twist for BRICS and the US this week, as the US dollar fell from its two-year high with President Donald Trump’s 100% tariff plan taking a turn.

Throughout his campaign for reelection, Trump has not been shy about his perspective on the US dollar. Specifically, he has continued to maintain the importance of the greenback to remain the world’s currency. This week, he has shared an interesting update that adds the latest on what is an extended saga.

US Dollar Falls From 2-Year High as BRICS & Trump Saga Enters Another Chapter

Since his 2024 presidential election win in November of last year, Donald Trump has targeted the BRICS alliance. He has issued a severe warning on the bloc, calling for 100% tariffs on participating nations. Specifically, he sought to challenge its ongoing initiatives to create a native currency to oppose the dollar.

That had been received rather well by the United States citizensIn his early days returning to the Oval Office, the greenback had surged to a two-year highHowever, things took a turn on MondaySpecifically, the BRICS and US faceoff saw the US dollar fall as Trump’s tariff plan has taken a turn.

Late last week, the dollar fell to a January low following a recent statement from the US PresidentSpecifically, Trump said he would “rather not” impose tariffs on China, according to a Yahoo Finance report. Moreover, he went into detail about the plan and its impact on the largest economy in BRICS.

“We have one very big power over China, and that is tariffs, and they don’t want them,” Trump said. “And I’d rather not have to use it. But it’s a tremendous power over China.” That statement led the US Dollar index to fall more than 0.5%. In the end, it would have its worst week of the year thus far.

The move saw the greenback suffer its greatest single-day drop since November of 2023Moreover, the report notes that the movement is likely connected to the president’s refrain from using the “broad-based tariffs on his first day in office.

 The unknown nature of the tariff policy will still have an increased effect on the dollar. With his economic and international relations policy still developing, its confrontation with BRICS is immensely important to observe.

FED: BANKS ABLE TO SERVE CRYPTO CUSTOMERS, BTC UP 3%

Bitcoin bounced after comments from U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at the FOMC meeting signaled that banks are allowed to serve crypto clients.


Crypto markets initially had a muted reaction to the Federal Open Market Committee’s decision on Wednesday, Jan. 29, to keep interest rates unchangedThe Fed maintained its 4.25% to 4.50% federal funds rate, citing “somewhat elevated inflation,” as analysts had predicted.

Bitcoin edged up 0.5% minutes after the Fed released its FOMC minutes. The uptrend accelerated to 3%, pushing BTC above $103,500 heading into the U.S. evening trading session.

Responding to a crypto-related question, Powell stated that U.S. banks are “perfectly able” to serve crypto customers, provided they comply with risk disclosure requirements. He emphasized that de-banking legally compliant customers is not Fed policy, addressing concerns related to the so-called “Operation Choke Point 2.0.

“Great regulation on crypto would be helpful,” Powell added.

He also reiterated that the U.S. central bank cannot legally hold BTC, prompting Senator Cynthia Lummis to propose changing the law if necessary.

Digital asset markets flipped green following Powell’s remarks while major U.S. equity indices closed the day slightly in the red.

Unchanged federal interest rates split sentiment between bulls and short-term bears. Bulls argued that Bitcoin could surge in February, as it has in eight of the last 12 Februaries. They also speculated that President Trump’s pro-crypto stance could provide additional support for BTC and the broader market.

Bears, on the other hand, contended that static interest rates could deter new capital inflows into BTC and related products, such as Wall Street’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds.

Meanwhile, reports suggest that President Trump has encouraged Powell and the Fed to implement lower interest rates. However, Powell stated that he has had no contact with Trump so far and did not comment on the rumored request.

Expert Warns Against Changing The Exchange Rate: A Bigger Mistake Than The Last Adjustment

Time: 2025/01/29 18:06:33 Read: 1,620 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert, Abdul Rahman Al Mashhadani, warned against changing the official exchange rate and returning it to 145 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars.

Al-Mashhadani told {Euphrates News}: "There is talk about the idea of ​​changing the official exchange rate and returning it to 145,000 dinars per 100 dollars," warning that "this measure will be a bigger mistake than the last amendment."

Al-Mashhadani told {Euphrates News}: "There is talk about the idea of ​​changing the official exchange rate and returning it to 145,000 dinars per 100 dollars," warning that "this measure will be a bigger mistake than the last amendment."

He stressed that "the dollar exchange rates in the parallel market have stabilized for a long time at the threshold of 151,000 dinars per 100 dollars," noting that "this difference has nothing to do with the 2025 budget schedules, as it will not differ much from the 2024 budget."

Al-Mashhadani pointed to "a desire to stabilize the price of a barrel of oil at $60 with a move to reduce investment expenditures, due to the large and ongoing financial deficit in the budget," adding that "the gap between the dollar in the parallel market and the official rate will remain as it is."

He explained that "the dollar exchange rates will not stabilize due to a gap in demand, as Iranian goods constitute a large part of the market, and imports continue at a rate ranging between $25 and $35 million per month, with these funds being financed from the parallel market instead of Central Bank transfers."

The economic expert concluded by stressing that "the exchange rate between the parallel and official market will remain the same unless trade is regulated and included in the Central Bank's transfers." LINK

Concerns about weak demand linked to weak economic data from China and high temperatures elsewhere capped gains. Brent crude futures fell 2 cents to $77.49 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 3 cents to settle at $73.80. In his speech broadcast from Washington, D.C., Trump called for lower oil prices and lower interest rates globally.

The White House said Trump still plans to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Saturday while considering new tariffs on China. In Libya, local protesters blocked crude oil loadings on Tuesday at the Es Sider and Ras Lanuf ports, putting about 450,000 barrels per day (bpd) of exports at risk.

But fears of supply disruptions eased after Libya’s National Oil Corporation said export activity was running normally after talks with protesters. China, the world’s biggest importer of crude oil, reported an unexpected contraction in manufacturing activity in January on Monday, putting pressure on oil prices.

 Chinese demand for crude is also expected to be affected by recent U.S. sanctions on Russian oil trade. In the United States, weather forecasts are calling for above-average temperatures this week, which is also affecting demand for gasoline Heating after bitter cold weather sent natural gas and diesel prices higher in previous sessions.  https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=259142

CRYPTO MOMENTUM IN THE US: WHAT’S NEXT FOR RIPPLE PAYMENTS

The turn of the year signifies motivated new beginnings, and Ripple has hit the ground running in 2025 with multiple advances to its cross-border payments solution.

Additionally, industry players across the US are enthusiastic about what the next four years has in store as a progressive crypto administration takes office.

CRYPTO MOMENTUM IN THE US: WHAT’S NEXT FOR RIPPLE PAYMENTS

The turn of the year signifies motivated new beginnings, and Ripple has hit the ground running in 2025 with multiple advances to its cross-border payments solution.

Additionally, industry players across the US are enthusiastic about what the next four years has in store as a progressive crypto administration takes office.

Financial institutions that are eager to stay ahead of the curve are moving to capitalize on crypto—both to diversify portfolios and to optimize efficiency through blockchain solutions.

Crypto-enabled cross-border payments is one use case that has proven valuable to global finance leaders, more than 90% of which believe blockchain and digital assets will have a massive or significant impact on finance in the next three years.  

Ripple, the leading provider of digital asset infrastructure for financial institutions, has recently secured key Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) in New York and Texas—two states where Ripple has seen strong demand for real-time global payments from both banks and crypto businesses—bringing the total to more than 50 MTLs.

Texas and New York have defined regulations and stringent licensing requirements with robust compliance standards and regulatory oversight.

With more than 60 licenses globallyRipple can offer customers access to a seamless, compliant-first, global payment experience that leverages the superior capabilities of digital assets. MTLs allow Ripple Payments customers to access a licensed version of the cross-border payments solution in the US where transactions are managed end-to-end by Ripple on behalf of the customer.

For years, Ripple has been working diligently to secure global licenses. 
Ripple and its other subsidiaries collectively hold:

▪️a NY BitLicense

▪️NY Limited Purpose Trust Company Charter

▪️55+ MTLs across Ripple's payments, custody and stablecoin business

▪️a Major Payment Institution License from the Monetary Authority of Singapore

▪️a Virtual Asset Service Provider registration with the Central Bank of Ireland

▪️a Virtual Asset Service Provider registration with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority

▪️in-principle license approval from the DFSA

Additionally, customers can access Ripple’s global payments network through a single integration where streamlined onboarding offers the agility and speed necessary to keep up with the rapidly evolving payments market. Last year saw banks lose a small but noteworthy share of the cross-border payments market to new players, indicating a trend that will likely drive banks to rethink strategies to stay competitive.

“We’re continuing to see more interest from financial institutions to crypto businesses that want to unlock the benefits of crypto and blockchain for faster, cost-efficient and 24/7 cross-border payments.

With years of experience working in both crypto and with financial institutions, Ripple is well-positioned to support companies who are ready to take advantage of the current landscape,” said Joanie Xie, Managing Director of North America at Ripple.

Ripple Payments has served $70 billion in payments volume, with around-the-clock availability and global network coverage across 90+ markets representing more than 90% of the daily FX markets. Last year, Ripple’s payments business doubled and a number of new North American customers were added to the network including:

▪️Bancoli

▪️CambioReal

▪️GeoSwift

▪️AgilityFx

▪️Cloud Payments

▪️Atlantic Xchange

▪️Zil Money

Demand for digital asset capabilities has grown alongside greater adoption of stablecoins for payments including Ripple USD (RLUSD)—an enterprise-grade, USD-denominated stablecoin created with trust, utility, and compliance at its core. RLUSD will be integrated into Ripple Payments later this year.

Digital asset regulation in the US is rapidly shifting. Just last week, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rescinded SAB 121 for crypto assets, which would have imposed prohibitive requirements on banks offering digital asset custody services. Congress had previously voted to overturn SAB 121 last year with bipartisan support.

A growing number of US policymakers and regulators are recognizing the importance of digital asset innovation, signaling a confidence in the realized and potential benefits at both the consumer and industry level.

As such, real-world digital asset use cases are moving to the foreground and institutions are taking action on their crypto strategies. 

The financial sector is trending increasingly digital as technologies like blockchain and artificial intelligence envelop existing services and open doors to new use cases like real-world asset (RWA) tokenization which can afford greater utility, liquidity, and accessibility of financial instruments (e.g., stocks, bonds, ETFs).

Ripple is continuing to expand its US footprint by investing in domestic talent; ~75% of open positions are based in the US and domestic hiring has doubled compared to 2023. Just last year, Ripple opened new, larger offices in San Francisco and New York, signaling positive business momentum in the US.

The coming years will likely be monumental for the crypto industry, with many optimistic that political bodies and financial institutions alike will glean the benefits of blockchain through public-private collaboration, continued education, and tangible results driven by real-world applications of the technology.

COINBASE DEEPENS TIES TO TRUMP WITH ADVISORY COUNCIL PICK

Weeks after a meeting between Trump and Brian Armstrong to reportedly discuss personnel, the US president’s co-campaign manager will be joining Coinbase’s advisory council.

In a Jan. 29 notice, Coinbase said former Trump co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita would join former US Senator Kyrsten Sinema, former New York Fed president Bill Dudley and former Colombian Ambassador to the US Luis Alberto Moreno on the exchange’s Global Advisory Council. LaCivita, who worked to help elect Trump, has close ties to the Republican National Committee and likely continues to have a relationship with the US president.

According to LaCivita, the crypto industry “deserves better” than former US President Joe Biden’s administration’s approach to legislation and regulation. He echoed Trump’s claims of making the US a leader in digital assets.

Coinbase established its advisory council in May 2023 to navigate the “increasingly complex and evolving” crypto landscape globally. 

The council’s members have included several former US lawmakers, including former Senator Pat Toomey. Cointelegraph contacted Coinbase regarding its current ties to the Trump administration but did not receive a response at the time of publication.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong reportedly met with Trump in November after the US election to discuss personnel appointments. The exchange donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund and said it was “committed to supporting” the transition from the Biden administration.

In 2020, Armstrong said Coinbase would not support “any particular causes or candidates” unrelated to its mission, calling them a “distraction.”

After the exchange received a Wells notice from the US Securities and Exchange Commission in 2023 — that ultimately led to a civil lawsuit — the company launched efforts to influence the outcome of US congressional elections, later contributing $45 million to help elect “pro-crypto” candidates in 2024.

With the election of Trump, some executives at crypto firms have suggested that the SEC’s new leadership could drop enforcement cases, potentially including Coinbase’sA federal judge ordered Coinbase’s case stayed in January pending a decision by the Second Circuit Court of Appeals that could reverse an order denying the exchange’s motion for judgment.

FED HOLDS INTEREST RATE AT 4.25-4.5% DESPITE TRUMP’S CALL FOR A CUT: HERE’S THE IMPACT ON CRYPTO

The US Federal Reserve has finally announced its first policy decision for 2025 following two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. According to the recent press release, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to maintain interest rates at their current range of 4.25% to 4.5%. This decision follows after the committee lowered rates three times consecutively last year.

Fed Pauses Rate Cuts Despite Trump’s Call

As expected, Federal Reserve officials decided not to change interest rates after their recent two-day meeting, the first under President Trump’s second term. They made this choice even though President Trump has been pushing them to lower the rates.

Crypto Market Remains Stable


The crypto market stayed fairly stable because it had already expected the decision to keep interest rates unchanged. Fed Chair Jerome Powell previously mentioned that the committee isn’t rushing to lower the key benchmark interest rates and will proceed more cautiously with any rate cuts.

Some “Iraq News” Posted by Clare at KTFA 1-29-2025

KTFA:

Clare:  Our relationship with America will become stronger with an initiative that Al-Sudani will announce soon.. Expectations of his advisor

1/29/2025

Farhad Alaa Al-Din, the Prime Minister’s advisor for foreign affairs, confirmed in an article published in the English-language Emirati newspaper “The National” that Iraq offers great opportunities for American companies in the energy sector, confirming that there are discussions with several companies, including Exxon Mobil and Chevron.

He also said that the projects allocated to American companies in the coming years are estimated at tens of billions of dollars, while he expected Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani to announce a pioneering financial initiative that he said could change the business landscape in Iraq and strengthen its relationship with the United States.

Clare:  Our relationship with America will become stronger with an initiative that Al-Sudani will announce soon.. Expectations of his advisor

1/29/2025

Farhad Alaa Al-Din, the Prime Minister’s advisor for foreign affairs, confirmed in an article published in the English-language Emirati newspaper “The National” that Iraq offers great opportunities for American companies in the energy sector, confirming that there are discussions with several companies, including Exxon Mobil and Chevron.

He also said that the projects allocated to American companies in the coming years are estimated at tens of billions of dollars, while he expected Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani to announce a pioneering financial initiative that he said could change the business landscape in Iraq and strengthen its relationship with the United States.

The advisor stated that according to Trading Economics, US exports to Iraq in 2023 amounted to $2.26 billion, an increase of 230% over 2022 and 280% over 2021, while total agricultural exports alone amounted to $357 million, which is more than double the 2022 figures and three times the 2021 figures.

Article by Farhad Alaeddin, in The National, translated by 964 Network :

With the change of administration in Washington, many observers expected uncertainty regarding US policy in the Middle East, especially towards Iraq. US President Donald Trump’s priorities clearly focused on domestic issues such as immigration, economic reform, and corporate repatriation. However, his appointment of strong leaders to key foreign policy positions indicated a continued focus on maintaining US influence abroad in general, and in the Middle East in particular.

Mr. Trump and his team have demonstrated their commitment to de-escalation, and their role in helping to broker a ceasefire in Gaza was essential even before the president took office. Mr. Trump has long been engaged in the fight against ISIS, and one of his main campaign promises was the total defeat of the terrorist group.

In a March 2024 interview, he proudly noted his leadership role in the fall of ISIS, saying he “got rid of it.” While the group has been largely physically eliminated in Iraq, where it once held vast territory, it remains a threat in remote areas and now poses a risk of resurgence in Syria, particularly after the collapse of the Assad regime. Clearly, a complete and lasting defeat of ISIS, beyond any chance of recovery, will require, and indeed will be essential, strong cooperation between Iraq and the United States.

Iraq and the United States can share many security, political, and economic issues for mutual benefit. Regionally, Iraq stands out as an anchor of stability and an important player in diplomacy. Under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s “Iraq First” policy, the country has adopted a moderate and inclusive approach that prioritizes shared interests. This position enhances the country’s influence in the region and underscores its importance as a partner for the United States in maintaining stability.

The strong and thriving U.S.-Iraq relationship promotes stability and prosperity in the region, but the U.S.-Iraq relationship extends beyond military and security cooperation, encompassing sectors as diverse as energy, agriculture, education, and economic development. Al-Sudani is currently leading Iraq through an ambitious reconstruction effort, with funding exceeding any allocation in the past two decades.

Iraq offers significant opportunities for U.S. companies in the energy sector, with discussions underway with major companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron, along with initiatives involving General Electric, Baker Hughes, KBR, and Halliburton. Overall, projects for U.S. companies could be worth tens of billions of dollars over the next few years.

 Financial institutions, including the Export-Import Bank and the International Monetary Fund, have expressed interest in supporting these efforts.

 Notably, the prime minister is expected to announce a major financial initiative that could change the business landscape in Iraq and further strengthen its relationship with the United States.

American companies are increasingly drawn to Iraq, as evidenced by the growing activities of the US-Iraq Business Council, while the events of the American Chamber of Commerce in Iraq now attract more American companies than ever before.

According to Trading Economics, a data and forecasting firm, U.S. exports to Iraq reached $2.26 billion in 2023—a significant 230 percent increase from 2022 and 280 percent higher than 2021. Agricultural exports alone totaled $357 million, more than double the 2022 figures and three times the 2021 figures. These figures are expected to rise significantly in 2024 and 2025, and U.S. farmers, in particular, will benefit from this burgeoning trade relationship.

In addition, the Iraqi government has approved a program to send 5,000 students abroad for master’s and doctoral studies, with approximately 3,000 students to study in the United States. American universities will benefit greatly from this initiative, along with collaboration with institutions such as the American universities in Baghdad, Duhok, and Sulaymaniyah.

Al-Sudani described relations with the United States as “strategic” and “institutional,” emphasizing the depth of this partnership in his recent media appearances, and in particular, in an interview with Elaph in London, hours before Mr. Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the prime minister said that Iraq “is ready to cooperate with the new administration.” He stressed that this relationship is based on the joint strategic framework agreement between the two countries, “as well as our partnership in the international coalition to fight ISIS.”

A strong and prosperous relationship between the United States and Iraq promotes stability and prosperity in the region, benefiting the interests of both countries and their people. Through strategic cooperation in security, economics, and diplomacy, this partnership has the potential to shape a more stable and prosperous Middle East.   LINK

Clare:  Chairman of the Finance Committee: Charting a new path to manage the financial situation in Iraq

1/29/2025  Baghdad 

The head of the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives, Atwan Al-Atwani, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the committee has placed at the top of its priorities charting a new path for managing the financial situation in the country, by enhancing non-oil revenues.  

A statement by the Finance Committee, received by "Mawazine News", stated that Al-Atwani, accompanied by the delegation currently visiting the United Kingdom, met separately with Baroness Baroness de Sousa and Director of the Oversight Unit in the British House of Commons Alex Knight, in the presence of specialists from the International Partners Foundation.  

The statement indicated that the meetings addressed the prospects for cooperation between the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives and the relevant committees in the British House of Commons, with the aim of exchanging experiences in legislative and oversight work in a way that serves common interests.  

Al-Atwani explained, after reviewing the structure of the British House of Commons and the House of Lords, that the Iraqi Council of Representatives needs to create permanent specialized formations of experts to chart the path of legislative work, and complete the requirements for enacting laws in a way that achieves the country's supreme interests and is consistent with development plans.  

He stressed that strengthening the legislative authority with specialized formations will contribute to maturing laws and determining the actual need for legislation, away from personal interpretations.  

Al-Atwani also stressed the need to reduce dependence on oil as a primary source of revenue, noting that Iraq has other financial resources that can form basic pillars of the budget, such as customs, taxes, investment of state assets, the communications sector, and other government services.  LINK

Member: (From Dinar Guru)  Mnt Goat  The below message recently comes up on this site [xe] when you inquire about the IQD. It says “Notice IQD may be redenominated”. This redenomination is the newer lower denominations we have been waiting for. Yes, they will have to execute the Project to Delete the Zeros. We know that the CBI must also raise the rate of the dinar at par or just over a dollar within country to get this project started and create incentives to turn in the dollars. This is really the final push to de-dollarize Iraq. The CBI still needs to break this parallel market. As long as the dinar is much lower than the dollar this issue will linger.

MZ: The US is already getting dollars out of there so the dinar is supported

MZ: “ Two Federal banks express their readiness to pay the salaries of Kurdistan employees”

Tishwash:  Our relationship with America will become stronger with an initiative that Al-Sudani will announce soon.. Expectations of his advisor

"The business landscape in the country has changed"

Farhad Alaa Al-Din, the Prime Minister’s advisor for foreign affairs, confirmed in an article published in the English-language Emirati newspaper “The National” that Iraq offers great opportunities for American companies in the energy sector, confirming that there are discussions with several companies, including Exxon Mobil and Chevron.

 He also said that the projects allocated to American companies in the coming years are estimated at tens of billions of dollars, while he expected Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani to announce a pioneering financial initiative that he said could change the business landscape in Iraq and strengthen its relationship with the United States.

The advisor stated that according to the Trading Economics Company, US exports to Iraq in 2023 amounted to $2.26 billion, recording an increase of 230% over 2022, and 280% over 2021, while total agricultural exports alone reached $357 million, which is more than double the figures for 2022 and three times the figures for 2021.

With the change of administration in Washington, many observers expected uncertainty regarding US policy in the Middle East, especially towards Iraq. US President Donald Trump’s priorities clearly focused on domestic issues such as immigration, economic reform, and corporate repatriation. However, his appointment of strong leaders to key foreign policy positions indicated a continued focus on maintaining US influence abroad in general, and in the Middle East in particular.

Mr. Trump and his team have demonstrated their commitment to de-escalation, and their role in helping to broker a ceasefire in Gaza was essential even before the president took office. Mr. Trump has long been engaged in the fight against ISIS, and one of his main campaign promises was the total defeat of the terrorist group.

In a March 2024 interview, he proudly noted his leadership role in the fall of ISIS, saying he “got rid of it.” While the group has been largely physically eliminated in Iraq, where it once held vast territory, it remains a threat in remote areas and now poses a risk of resurgence in Syria, particularly after the collapse of the Assad regime. Clearly, a complete and lasting defeat of ISIS, beyond any chance of recovery, will require, and indeed will be essential, strong cooperation between Iraq and the United States.

Iraq and the United States can share many security, political, and economic issues for mutual benefit. Regionally, Iraq stands out as an anchor of stability and an important player in diplomacy. Under Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani’s “Iraq First” policy, the country has adopted a moderate and inclusive approach that prioritizes shared interests. This position enhances the country’s influence in the region and underscores its importance as a partner for the United States in maintaining stability.

The strong and thriving U.S.-Iraq relationship promotes stability and prosperity in the region, but the U.S.-Iraq relationship extends beyond military and security cooperation, encompassing sectors as diverse as energy, agriculture, education, and economic development. Al-Sudani is currently leading Iraq through an ambitious reconstruction effort, with funding exceeding any allocation in the past two decades.

Iraq offers significant opportunities for U.S. companies in the energy sector, with discussions underway with major companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron, along with initiatives involving General Electric, Baker Hughes, KBR, and Halliburton. Overall, projects for U.S. companies could be worth tens of billions of dollars over the next few years. Financial institutions, including the Export-Import Bank and the International Monetary Fund, have expressed interest in supporting these efforts. Notably, the prime minister is expected to announce a major financial initiative that could change the business landscape in Iraq and further strengthen its relationship with the United States.

American companies are increasingly drawn to Iraq, as evidenced by the growing activities of the US-Iraq Business Council, while the events of the American Chamber of Commerce in Iraq now attract more American companies than ever before.

According to Trading Economics, a data and forecasting firm, U.S. exports to Iraq reached $2.26 billion in 2023—a significant 230 percent increase from 2022 and 280 percent higher than 2021. Agricultural exports alone totaled $357 million, more than double the 2022 figures and three times the 2021 figures. These figures are expected to rise significantly in 2024 and 2025, and U.S. farmers, in particular, will benefit from this burgeoning trade relationship.

In addition, the Iraqi government has approved a program to send 5,000 students abroad for master’s and doctoral studies, with approximately 3,000 students to study in the United States. American universities will benefit greatly from this initiative, along with collaboration with institutions such as the American universities in Baghdad, Duhok, and Sulaymaniyah.

Al-Sudani described relations with the United States as “strategic” and “institutional,” emphasizing the depth of this partnership in his recent media appearances, and in particular, in an interview with Elaph in London, hours before Mr. Trump’s inauguration on January 20, the prime minister said that Iraq “is ready to cooperate with the new administration.” He stressed that this relationship is based on the joint strategic framework agreement between the two countries, “as well as our partnership in the international coalition to fight ISIS.”

A strong and prosperous relationship between the United States and Iraq promotes stability and prosperity in the region, benefiting the interests of both countries and their people. Through strategic cooperation in security, economics, and diplomacy, this partnership has the potential to shape a more stable and prosperous Middle East.  link

Militia Man   The US and the UK have some of the largest foreign currency in Iraqi dinar in the world outside of Iraq.  When you get worried about them doing things where you don't get any value...it's absolutely false.  The United States isn't going to throw away the trillions of dinar they have nor the UK.  Keep that in mind because that should alleviate some of the significant [fear] of folk thinking Iraq's reinstatement of their currency or giving it a real effective exchange rate isn't going to bring value, it surely will IMO.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

ELON MUSK’S X PARTNERS WITH VISA TO BUILD FUTURE PAYMENT SYSTEM WITH X MONEY

X CEO Linda Yaccarino announces a groundbreaking partnership with Visa for X Money, enabling real-time fund transfers and debit card connectivity as the platform expands into financial services.

▪️X has secured money transmitter licenses in over 40 states and FinCEN registration, laying groundwork for comprehensive financial services.

▪️The platform will allow users to fund X wallets via Visa Direct, highlighting Musk's strategy to transform X into an all-encompassing service.

▪️While promising innovative features for creators and users, the platform faces scrutiny over potential financial control and social credit concerns.

Elon Musk’s social media platform X has partnered with Visa to manage person-to-person payments for its upcoming X Money productX CEO Linda Yaccarino announced that the partnership is the first of many major announcements related to X Money this year.

Yaccarino shared that Visa is the first partner for the X Money account, which is expected to launch before year’s end.

 She explained that Visa will allow the platform users to fund their X wallets via Visa Direct, connect their debit cards for person-to-person payments, and transfer funds instantly to a bank account.

On December 31, the X CEO hinted at what users can expect this year, saying, “2025 X will connect you in ways never thought possible.   X TV, X Money, Grok and more.

Visa confirmed the partnership in a post, noting that it will enable U.S. X Money Account users to fund their accounts and transfer money in real-time using their debit cards through Visa Direct. The company stated:

“We’re excited to partner with XMoney on the launch of X Money Account. Visa Direct will make it possible for US X Money Account users to fund and transfer money in real-time with their debit card.”

Musk’s Plans to Evolve X Into an All-in-One Platform

Elon Musk has shared his vision of transforming X from a social media platform into an “everything app.” He has promised to make X a platform where users can conduct their financial activities. 

This collaboration with Visa signals a step toward realizing that vision. While the launch date for X Money remains unknown, more partners may join. According to CNBC, one of the initial uses for X Money will be enabling creators to receive payments and store funds independently.

In November 2022, Musk hinted during a publicly broadcast meeting with advertisers on Spaces that the platform’s upcoming payments product could eventually include banking features, such as a high-yield money market account.

X has successfully obtained money transmitter licenses in more than 40 states for its X Payments subsidiary and is registered with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) as a Money Service Business (MSB). App researchers have discovered code linked to X Money that outlines features like loading money into a wallet on the platform and making payments to other users.

Concerns Over X’s Financial Ambitions

Despite the excitement around X Money’s potential, there are concerns about the platform’s growing financial reachDominic Michael Tripi, a commentator with over fifty thousand followers on X, raised doubts about X’s control over user finances

He pointed out that if the platform can take actions like removing a user’s verification checkmark or suspending an account, it could potentially control access to users’ funds. He wrote:

“If they can take away your checkmark or suspend your account, they can take away your money. This is a precursor to a social credit system.

BRICS: SAUDI ARABIA MEMBERSHIP DECISION TO IMPACT 2 KEY THINGS

Out of the nations that BRICS invited to join the bloc in 2023, Saudi Arabia is one of the few that hasn’t officially joined yetThe Kingdom has been weighing the decision to join the alliance for over a year, with major geopolitical implications in the balance. 

Faisal Al-IbrahimMinister of Economy and Planningexplained during the World Economic Forum in Davos that the kingdom is prioritizing a thoughtful approach to the decision, and doesn’t want to rush.

He stated that the country remains focused on the goal of “global dialogue” and carefully examines the “numerous aspects” related to a potential membership. According to him, this decision goes beyond economic considerations and involves complex strategic implications.

“The risks to economic cohesion, fiscal robustness, lingering inequalities, and energy access are not unconnected and affect us all,” the minister writes. “As such, tackling them demands bold, collaborative action and solutions.”

Al-Ibrahim also added at the forum,” “The kingdom is always focusing on fostering more global dialogue,” and that the Kingdom will come to an “appropriate decision.”

How Will Saudi Arabia Joining BRICS Affect the Alliance and Kingdom?

The BRICS alliance will get a boost in the arm if Saudi Arabia accepts the invitation and joins the bloc. Saudi Arabia is rich in cash flow and can fund the projects of the New Development Bank (NDB)The Kingdom is also oil-rich and can allow BRICS to control nearly 42% of the world’s natural oil sector.

On the other hand, Saudi Arabia does not want to sever ties with the West by joining the BRICS alliance. The Middle Eastern country wants to maintain a balance between the West and other developing countriesRiyadh is deeply interested in strengthening economic and diplomatic relationships with other major powers.

 Most importantly, China is Saudi Arabia’s top trading partner, and Riyadh is the main supplier of crude oil to Beijing. These ties have only grown as the kingdom pursues its Vision 2030 plan to diversify its economy.

 The success of its Vision 2030 needs the help and assistance of all countries combined. Losing one for the other would prove costly to Saudi Arabia’s economy.

In conclusion, Saudi Arabia’s decision to join or not to join BRICS will have plenty of implications not just on the Kingdom or the alliance, but several geopolitical outcomes. The Kingdom continues to weigh its options, and likely will not rush to a final decision.

ONDO TO BRING TOKENIZED US TREASURYS TO XRPL

Ondo Finance said Tuesday (Jan. 28) that it will bring tokenized U.S. Treasurys to the XRP Ledger (XRPL)
.

This collaboration will offer institutional investors access to Ondo Short-Term U.S. Government Treasuries (OUSG), which are backed by the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) and can be instantaneously minted and redeemed at any time using the Ripple USD (RLUSD) U.S. dollar-denominated stablecoin, the companies said in a Tuesday (Jan. 28) press release.

“This integration is the natural convergence of a compliance-first, yield-bearing product with a network purpose-built for institutional adoption, setting the groundwork for forward-thinking institutions to lead a new era of capital markets onchain,” Ondo Finance Vice President of Partnerships Katie Wheeler said in the release.

Ondo and Ripple have secured commitments to seed OUSG liquidity upon deployment, according to the release.

The companies’ collaboration will meet institutional demand for tokenized U.S. Treasurys that offer liquidity, efficiency and transparency in capital markets, the release said.

Bringing OUSG to XRPL will provide a solution that provides institutional-grade security, accessible liquidity, and seamless tokenization and trading of real-world assets (RWAs), per the release.

“The 24/7 intraday settlement enabled by tokenized assets like OUSG marks a transformative shift in capital flow management, breaking free from traditional trading hours and slow settlements,” Markus Infanger, senior vice president, RippleX, said in the release.

The tokenization of RWAs has captured the imaginations of various players across payments, finance and commerce because it has the potential to make assets more liquid, accessible and efficient, PYMNTS reported last April.

Ripple and Archax extended their existing collaboration in June, saying they aimed to bring hundreds of millions of dollars of tokenized RWAs onto XRPL. Because Archax works with financial institutions to enable them to tokenize their financial RWAs, the collaboration will allow those institutions to select the XRPL to do so.

In February, Ondo Finance and Aptos Foundation partnered on the integration of RWAs with blockchain technology, beginning with the integration of Ondo’s tokenized U.S. Treasurys product, USDY, onto the Aptos blockchain. The partnership also sets the stage for a series of financial products using the strengths of the two organizations.

It’s like a Netflix and a Half Just Vanished Yesterday.

It’s like a Netflix and a Half Just Vanished Yesterday.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  January 28, 2025

Yesterday, Nvidia—the company which makes GPUs, including for AI— suffered the largest single-day market value loss in history.

The stock dropped 17.4% wiping $600 billion from its valuation in hours, and actually pulling the entire Nasdaq Composite down 3.4%. 

To put that in perspective, this amount of value loss is like if the entire company of Netflix AND AT&T simply disappeared.

It’s like a Netflix and a Half Just Vanished Yesterday.

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  January 28, 2025

Yesterday, Nvidia—the company which makes GPUs, including for AI— suffered the largest single-day market value loss in history.

The stock dropped 17.4% wiping $600 billion from its valuation in hours, and actually pulling the entire Nasdaq Composite down 3.4%. 

To put that in perspective, this amount of value loss is like if the entire company of Netflix AND AT&T simply disappeared.

What caused this? A Chinese AI startup called DeepSeek. Over the weekend, it revealed a new large language model (LLM) that matches the output of OpenAI’s ChatGPT and similar models but at a fraction of the cost.

Here’s the kicker: DeepSeek trained its LLM with just $5 million and 2,000 low-tech Nvidia GPUs. Compare that to ChatGPT’s $100 million budget and over 100,000 cutting-edge GPUs.

Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen called this AI’s Sputnik moment.

And that’s true.

It was 1957 when the Soviets launched Sputnik into space, which made the Americans realize how much they needed to catch up.

There was a lot of panic yesterday, and it’s easy to understand why. The whole industry felt they had a competitive advantage that no longer exists.

But the reality is, this is good news for everyone. And this is the topic of our podcast today.

Many of you know that I’m the chairman of a emerging technology company which makes extremely powerful and efficient semiconductors.

It’s completely unrelated to AI, so DeepSeek doesn’t have any impact. But I reached out to a number of people in the business to help me understand this better. And overall there are a few conclusions that are pretty obvious.

One, Nvidia is still going to be able to sell all the GPUs they can produce. The difference is now they will be selling to more people. The days of Nvidia delivering GPUs by armored car are long gone. And now these professional grade chips are going to be available to even the lowliest of AI start-ups.

It also means that AI start ups can launch their businesses and develop their technology with a smaller amount of money.

Instead of having to raise half a billion dollars just to get started, they can create a viable product for just a few million dollars now.

That means more innovation, and hence more productivity for everyone.

The last thing is the market rout yesterday was classic overreaction and panic that extended to sectors that still have me scratching my head.

There was even a sell-off in natural gas stocks, which is absurd.

We talk a lot about real assets, and why they are such a smart buy right now. And natural gas companies are a great example.

Some of these businesses are well managed, profitable, dividend paying, and have pristine balance sheets. And yet the market is now giving them away.

We discuss all this and more in today’s short podcast.

The head of the Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the committee has placed at the top of its priorities the development of a new path for managing the financial situation.

A statement by the Finance Committee received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) stated that "the head of the Finance Committee, Atwan Al-Atwani, met with the delegation currently visiting the United Kingdom, Lord Baroness de Sousa and the Director of the Oversight Unit in the British House of Commons, Alex Knight, each separately, in the presence of specialists from the International Partners Foundation."

He explained that "the discussions were held on the prospects of joint bilateral cooperation between the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Council of Representatives and the specialized committees in the British House of Commons in terms of legislative and oversight work and the exchange of expertise in all fields, in a manner that serves the interests of the two friendly peoples."

The statement continued, "After reviewing the structure of the British House of Commons and the House of Lords and the role of each of them, Al-Atwani stressed the need for the Iraqi Council of Representatives to establish permanent specialized formations of experts and specialists whose mission is to chart the course of legislative work and complete the requirements for enacting laws and consolidating legislation in a manner that achieves the country's supreme interests and is consistent with development plans and service programs."

He pointed out that "strengthening the work of the legislative authority with these specialized formations would mature the laws and assess the government's actual need for the legislation to be enacted, away from personal interpretations."

During his discussions, Al-Atwani reviewed "a number of files and topics of common interest," noting that "his committee has prioritized charting a new path for managing the financial situation in the country through a gradual transition to relying on non-oil revenues, especially since Iraq has financial revenue outlets that can be pillars of building the budget, including customs, taxes, investment of state assets, communications, and other government services."  link

Tishwash:  Central Bank Governor announces imminent launch of major initiative to finance industrial projects

The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, confirmed today, Tuesday, the imminent launch of an initiative to finance industrial projects, while pointing out that financial stability is no less important than political and security stability.

The Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, said in a dialogue session during the Iraq Energy Conference, which was followed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the initiatives undertaken by the Central Bank represent tools to move the wheel of development and enhance economic stimulus, and they are unconventional policies aimed at supporting the overall economy.

" He added that "the Central Bank is one of the global banking institutions that adopt unconventional monetary policies," noting that "the size of the accumulations in the aspects of backwardness in the infrastructure is a major challenge."
He explained that "the Central Bank is concerned with achieving economic stability, especially since energy factors are directly linked to the economic situation by supporting factories, companies, and others."

He pointed out that "the Central Bank intervenes in supporting and financing various projects, including renewable energy projects, whether through direct or indirect support."
He pointed to "the importance of monetary and financial stability," indicating that "it is no less important than political and security stability."

He continued that "the Central Bank has launched multiple initiatives to finance real estate and small and medium-sized projects, as projects worth 13 trillion dinars have been financed since 2016 until now, which has contributed to the sustainability of the economy, in addition to allocating 1 trillion dinars to encourage citizens and companies to purchase solar energy units."

He added that "there are ongoing arrangements to finance industrial projects in coordination with the Trade Bank of Iraq and the Industrial Bank," indicating that "the liquidity available at the Trade Bank of Iraq will be used to support these projects, in addition to the funds of the Industrial Bank, with the aim of launching a major initiative to finance industrial projects, which is expected to see the light soon."

He stressed that "the Council of Ministers has agreed to enhance cooperation between government banks with a financial surplus to finance industrial projects through the Industrial Bank, as it is the competent authority in this field," stressing "the imminent launch of this major initiative  link

Al-Sudani: We are a cornerstone in the stability of energy markets.. This is how we are viewed

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Tuesday that Iraq has become a cornerstone in the stability of global energy markets, and is on the path to becoming a regional center for energy industries, indicating that countries have begun to view it in this way, and its position has begun to acquire a brighter image, during his speech at the Iraq Energy Conference.

Al-Sudani's office said in a statement:

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani inaugurated today, Tuesday, the Iraq Energy 2025 Conference, which was held by the Iraq Development Platform in the capital, Baghdad, under the slogan (Together for a Promising Energy Future).

His Excellency stressed, in his speech, that the conference is an opportunity to learn about the state’s policies and programs in the energy sector, which occupies a pivotal position in all the government’s development plans and its commitment to modernizing and developing it, in parallel with the goal of diversifying the economy, in a way that positively reflects on other sectors.

The Prime Minister explained that a tangible digital achievement has been made since the government assumed its responsibility, through a set of commitments, most notably stopping gas flaring by 70%, benefiting from oil wealth, investing in natural gas, and expanding the production of petroleum derivatives, stressing the approach to full self-sufficiency in fuels and moving towards exporting gas oil, within a vision that aims to convert 40% of oil production into transformation industries by 2030.

Mr. Al-Sudani added that the government has proposed integrated energy projects to expand the benefit from oil production in one location, the most important of which is the Artawi field in Basra Governorate, and the accompanying project to desalinate seawater, generate solar energy, in addition to investing in gas, indicating that maximizing the non-oil economy is accompanied by maximizing returns from oil wealth, through expanding refining operations and petrochemical industries.

The following are the highlights of the Prime Minister’s speech during the conference:

The government has moved towards diversifying sources of income horizontally to solve the problems of unemployment and the single economy, towards creating real job opportunities.

Partnership with the private sector was the first window for development, and one opportunity to work with it leads to the creation of many other opportunities.

The government has relied on strategic projects that support all sectors of development and the economy, the most important of which is the “Development Road.”

We have included in the design of the development road lines lines for transporting oil and gas, in addition to communications to achieve the connection between Asia and Europe, and to provide investment opportunities.

We have developed a plan to invest in human capital and develop capabilities and skills to keep pace with technology and techniques, especially with the expansion of artificial intelligence applications.

The electricity sector has become an important developmental and economic nerve, and it can be transformed into a basic gateway to development in Iraq.

Developing the energy transmission and distribution network, and adopting modern and smart technologies, will reduce waste, lower harmful emissions, and enhance sustainable development.

The Ministry of Electricity announced the new economic model for thermal power plants that aims to produce an additional 15,000 megawatts.

The large and important package of energy production projects for gas stations will be announced according to the new model.

Partnership with the private sector is important to save time and effort in confronting climate change and addressing water scarcity in Iraq.

We sought to introduce renewable, clean and alternative energy elements, and we started actual implementation in the field of solar energy.

We have renewable and clean energy projects that will have a production capacity of 4,875 megawatts upon completion.

Purchase of home solar energy systems as part of the Central Bank’s support for the (1 trillion dinars) initiative of loans.

We are proceeding with the electrical connection with the Gulf countries and Turkey, reaching the European Union electricity grid, to achieve diversity and integration in the energy field.

Iraq's global standing is gaining a brighter image in economic growth, reforms and increased levels of cooperation in all energy forums.

Iraq has become a cornerstone of global oil market stability and is on its way to becoming a regional energy hub.

Iraq contributes to the stability of the global oil market by relying on a strong and solid economy. link
