Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

TOP MUSK STAFFER TO INVESTIGATE IRS OPERATIONS: REPORT

Kliger, one of Musk's top employees, has been meeting with senior executives at the Internal Revenue Service, said sources.

Gavin Kliger, one of the top staffers working with Elon Musk in his efforts to overhaul the federal government, arrived at the Internal Revenue Service on Thursday to examine the agency's operations, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Kliger was meeting with senior executives at the tax-collecting agency, marking the first time that a member of the Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has shown up at its headquarters in Washington, the people told Reuters.

The development suggests that Musk, who President Donald Trump has tasked with cutting costs, waste and fraud across the federal government, is now scrutinizing the IRS as part of that effort, even as the ongoing tax season squeezes its resources.

Trump, when asked about the Reuters report, said DOGE was doing a great job and that no agency would escape Musk's gaze.

Separately, senior executives at the IRS were instructed on Thursday to identify all "non-essential" contracts for termination, according to an email seen by Reuters.

In the email, senior executives at the IRS were told that the General Services Administration (GSA), which manages most government contracts, is demanding they review consulting contracts under their purview and determine whether they can be justified.

The GSA deems a contract non-essential if it "merely generates a report, research, coaching, or an artifact," the email says.

"Consistent with the goals and directives of the Trump administration to eliminate waste, reduce spending, and increase efficiency, GSA has taken the first steps in a government-wide initiative to eliminate non-essential consulting contracts," the email says.

GLOBAL STABLECOIN USE SOARS — WILL TRUMP CRYPTO POLICY PROMPT US ADOPTION?

Stablecoin use continues to expand across the world, and White House crypto czar David Sacks says one of its first priorities is stablecoin legislation in the United States.

One of the top priorities for White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks is addressing the rise of stablecoin legislation in the United States. While stablecoins have gained significant traction internationally, particularly in emerging markets, their adoption in the US has remained limited.

The question remains: can stablecoins pose a threat to the US dollar, or are they simply a complementary feature that will reinforce the existing system?

On Feb. 4, a bipartisan group of US senators introduced legislation aimed at creating a stablecoin regulatory framework.

Tennessee Republican Senator Bill Hagerty emphasized that this bill would provide “a safe and pro-growth regulatory framework” to foster innovation and support President Donald Trump’s vision of making the US “the world capital of crypto.”

Adding weight to this momentum, Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller expressed his support for stablecoins on Feb. 6, suggesting they could enhance the US dollar's reserve status rather than compete with it. 

“I view stablecoins as a net addition to our payment system,” said Waller, who is chair of the Fed Board’s subcommittee on payments. However, he underscored that some “regulatory rails around it” were necessary to make sure that stablecoins are properly backed.

Momentum for stablecoins is building

All things considered, momentum appears to be building regarding the endorsement of stablecoins. Currently, the total stablecoin market cap is $233 billion, with 97% of the sector dominated by US-pegged stablecoins like Tether’s USDT, which alone makes up over 60% of the total stablecoin market capitalization, according to CoinGecko data.

Momentum is building toward widespread endorsement and regulation of these digital tokens, which constitute digital assets pegged to a fiat currency.

Bitcoin ATM CEO Brandon Mintz told Cointelegraph,

“With Trump’s recent executive order on digital financial technology, real discussions around stablecoin legislation, and the new crypto task force, we’re finally seeing signs of real momentum that could keep crypto innovation onshore.”

In his first address to the industry as White House crypto czar, Sacks suggested that stablecoin regulation would move forward soon. “Moving legislation through Congress takes time, but I think this is something we could do in the next six months,” he said in an interview with CNBC on Feb. 4.

“They are very committed to moving legislation through the House and the Senate this year in order to provide that clear regulatory framework that the digital assets ecosystem needs to sustain innovation in the United States.”

The international community warms up to stablecoins

While the international financial community has historically opposed the rise of crypto and stablecoins, often adopting an aggressive stance that industry leaders claim has hindered growth, the potential value of stablecoins has been recognized even by the most traditional financial institutions.

In October 2024, the International Monetary Fund released a report in which economists stated that digital innovations like stablecoins “hold the potential to disrupt the financial landscape” if they achieve widespread adoption.

The report pointed out that while privately issued crypto assets mainly function today as “speculative tools” with limited acceptance as payment instruments, stablecoins aim to offer a consistent value against other currencies, potentially making them “more viable for everyday transactions.”

Experts, however, believe that the US dollar’s dominance is not at risk from the rise of stablecoins. In fact, they argue that its supremacy in the global economy may be reinforced.

Economist Eswar Prasad, a professor at Cornell University and author of The Future of Money, told Cointelegraph that stablecoins and central bank digital currencies could serve as complementary payment tools rather than substitutes.

“The official approval for and regulation of stablecoins denominated in US dollars will provide an indirect boost to the dollar’s already dominant role as a payment currency for international transactions.”

US lawmakers backing the bill argue that dollar-denominated stablecoins could improve transaction efficiency, expand financial inclusion, and strengthen the dollar’s supremacy as the world reserve currency by driving demand for US Treasurys.

According to the lawmakers, “The previous administration’s hostility toward crypto and refusal to provide clear regulatory guidelines has severely stifled stablecoin innovation.”

Conversation with Dr. Ron Paul

Gold Telegraph:  2-12-2025

“I think the country would thrive tremendously if we see it in moral terms and don’t have some Federal Reserve being the chief counterfeiter. It’s fraud.” – @RonPaul

Three-time U.S. presidential candidate Dr. Ron Paul joins me for a powerful discussion on the Federal Reserve, fiat money, government waste, and key moments from his career.

A former U.S. Congressman and physician, Paul has been a relentless advocate for limited government, free markets, and sound money.

Serving Texas for decades, he became one of the loudest critics of the Federal Reserve, pushing for monetary reform, a gold standard, and fiscal responsibility.

In our conversation, Dr. Paul reflects on the growing awareness of monetary policy and government corruption—a fight he’s led for years.

We begin with Elon Musk call for him to investigate the Federal Reserve, a move Dr. Paul doubts will happen but sees as a sign that the debate is shifting.

He emphasizes that the real battle is ideological, as the current monetary system is crumbling under debt, inflation, and authoritarianism.

Dr. Paul revisits his push to audit the Fed and America’s gold reserves, recalling repeated efforts to block transparency.

While he believes the gold is still there, questions remain over ownership and manipulation.

He also highlights the Fed’s secrecy in international finance, warning that the system thrives on deception and interventionism.

We explore many more themes in this fascinating discussion.

Thank you, Dr. Paul, for joining me.

I hope you all enjoy.

TIMESTAMPS:

(0:32) – Will Dr. Paul accept Elon Musk’s endorsement to investigate the Federal Reserve?

(4:17) – Where would Dr. Paul begin if he investigated the Federal Reserve?

(5:34) – Does the United States still have all its gold reserves?

(7:53) – Is the US dollar near a breaking point?

(12:17) – Will the United States finally monetize gold or mark it to market?

(19:06) – Is the military-industrial complex completely unaccountable?

(24:00) – How does it feel seeing decades of warnings now resonate across America?

(25:24) – If @elonmusk personally asks, will Dr. Paul investigate the Federal Reserve?

Member: Maybe this Saturday night when banks worldwide are all closed?

MZ: I find things are pretty interesting on who is where….Right now we are being told Sudani is in Prague, one of his top deputies is at the US in NewYork…..Pres. Trumo is now sitting down with India’s Modi …so let’s think BRICS…let’s think World court…..Let’s think UN for monetary values change…..We are talking World court, UN, and pretty much everybody is where they should be to make something move.

MZ:I keep hearing they will be presented on Sunday.

MZ: “The Presidency of the Republic approves the controversial laws”  These are finally finished and done. ….Lets move forward now with financial reforms .

MZ: “Rasheed’s Bank capital jumps from 2 Billion to 50. What are the compelling reasons?” The bank has shown it can be trusted and citizens are depositing.

MZ: They are telling us in many different articles they are now moving to the third and final part of their reforms.

Member: Dear God let the RV be in this third phase.

MZ: “Iraq is financially stable and does not need aid”  They are telling us they do not suffer from a deficit.  They are saying they are the ones to help other countries now. Dr. Shabibi (former Gov. of the CBI) always said if they give him safe and stable …he would release the new rate of the dinar.

MZ: “Bank of Scotland is set to close more than 20 branches”  With a new banking system we won’t need as many branches. We will see a lot of bank closures throughout this process.

Member: Will there be a second basket of currencies?

MZ: From what we are seeing right now….there may be a second basket of currencies….Those that don’t make it into the first basket. Like the Iranian and Afghanistan currency. What I am closely watching for the second basket are the Central African currencies.  These are some of the richest mineral countries in the world. I also like Mongolia.

Member: possible first basket currencies..1. US 2. UK 3. Kuwait 4. Canada 5. Mexico 6. Russia 7. China 8. Venezuela 9. Iranian Rial possibly 10. IRAQ 11. Indonesia Rupiah 12. Malaysia 13.

Member: I always heard we exchange currency and redeem bonds?

Member: personally....looking like March for RV , when ISO 2022 Banking changes are having to be implemented.

Member: What are the chances the RV will go before America is Gold backed?

Member: I think they may have to finish auditing the UST, The Fed Reserve and Fort Knox before we get the gold backed USN currency.

Member: Elon Musk endorses Ron Paul leading investigation into the Federal Reserve.

Member: Trump spoke on auditing fort knox by D.O.G.E.

Member: Treasury site has 3000 pages available to dig through “Office of Foreign Assets Control “ specially designated nationals and blocked persons list. Eye opening!

Member: They need to revalue the gold reserves in order to go gold back currency-imo

Member: Maybe Iraq will go first and then the reset happens when we go gold backed????

MZ: “Massive amounts of physical gold moved from London to COMEX”  gold and silver are flooding into US warehouses…..This is exciting. In the article is states the US may be planning to revalue its Gold reserves….which is presently valued at $42 an ounce. Andy has some bombshells on metals to drop when he joins us this morning.

Member: Dang…Gold on the markets is close to $3,000 an ounce!!

MZ: By doing some quick math- by revaluing our gold reserves that would drop our national debt deficit down to about $500 billion dollars. In other words we could have a balanced budget by revaluing gold to its market value. This is based on real market metals in today’s market….This is sound economics and common sense

MZ: We first saw them float this idea in House resolution  bill 2025. (Or something like that) (from Wyo Senator Cynthia Loomis.?) This is playing out…we are watching it …I think we are about to see it.

Member: This weekend is a 3 day weekend for Presidents Day on Jan 17th

He pointed out that
 
     "eliminating sustainable unemployment requires economic diversification and the
     basics of diversification begins from the manufacturer construction of Iraq, and the
 
second: the partnership with the private sector comes to be an ideal solution to advance the industrial sector itself, whether this partnership is to provide financing and government support, partnership in ownership or capital And

"the partnership in management and ownership between the government and private sectors leads to
 
     stimulating innovation,
     technological development and

     investment in advanced manufacturing technology such as
     automation,
     artificial intelligence and
     3D printing.  He stressed that
 
"the financing partnership represents the provision of financial support for small and medium enterprises that work in the field of manufacturing to find an optimal operating lever," explaining that
 
"the national development plan indicates efforts to rebuild the conversion industry pillars through real partnerships with the private sector, as
 
the state contributes to ensuring sovereign financing Manufacturing industries by 85%, while the

this was preceded by a leadership initiative for the prime minister, which paved the way for this by providing thousands of loans to the youth sectors and moving their innovations," explaining that
 
"this will lead to encouraging the regulatory and investment environment of the country and adopting policies that encourage encouragement On competition, improve the business environment and reduce bureaucratic regulations that may hinder the process of manufacturing and accelerate it.    https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=259469

Local     Yesterday, 17:40  Baghdad – WAA  Minister of Transport Razzaq Muhaibis Al-Saadawi confirmed, today, Wednesday, that Iraq is a distinguished international corridor for the countries of the region.
 
A statement by the ministry received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) stated:
 
"Minister of Transport Razzaq Muhaibis Al-Saadawi met with the Secretary-General of the International Road Transport Union, Umberto de Pretto, to discuss the TIR project, and ways to facilitate the inter-trade process, which is one of the most important drivers of the global economy."

Al-Saadawi stressed - according to the statement – that   "the Iraqi government, specifically the Ministry of Transport, is keen on the TIR project, as
 
it is an important project at the level of international trade movement, and
 
it is also reflected in the economies of the member states," noting that

In turn, Secretary-General Umberto de Pretto expressed his "thanks for the efforts of the Iraqi government to complete Iraq's accession to the International Land Union," considering that
 
"approval for the passage of vehicles through Iraq is very important." He stressed that
 
"expediting this process makes things better, adding that this project opens up broad horizons for Iraq," noting that
 
"TIR facilitates the trade process by 50%, and ensures the passage of vehicles with ease, and
 
the benefits resulting from it are greater, in light of the existence of enormous capabilities that enhance this."
 
At the end of the meeting, the President of the International Union expressed his "admiration for the topics raised on the discussion table, especially the issue of the international visa, and the possibility of benefiting from Iraqi expertise in the success and organization of the TIR work system."
 
It is noteworthy that the Minister of Transport, Razzaq Muhaibis Al-Saadawi, participated yesterday, Tuesday, in the work of the 87th session of the Inland Transport Committee (ITC) held in Geneva; where he delivered Iraq’s speech, in which

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

FED GOVERNOR: BANKS AND NON-BANKS SHOULD BE ABLE TO ISSUE STABLECOINS

Fed Governor Christopher Waller believes there should be a framework that allows banks and non-banks to issue regulated stablecoins.

According to a recent Bloomberg report, Waller stated that stablecoins have the potential to expand the reach of the U.S. dollar on an international scale. However, the scale and utility of stablecoins will depend on a clear set of regulations.

In a conference in San Francisco, Waller said the stablecoin market requires a regulatory framework that encompasses stablecoin risks “directly, fully, and narrowly” before financial institutions will be able to issue them.

“This framework should allow both non-banks and banks to issue regulated stablecoins and should consider the effects of regulation on the payments landscape,” said Waller.

Stablecoins are digital currencies known for their steady value because they are typically pegged to fiat currencies, most commonly the U.S. dollar or Treasury bills. Two of the largest stablecoins by market cap, USDT and USDC, are both pegged to the U.S. dollar.

Waller’s remarks echo those of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell in February last year. Powell expressed wholehearted support for the creation of a stablecoin framework in a meeting with the House Financial Services Committee, reiterating the Fed’s commitment to developing stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies in the U.S. (However, Powell agreed there would not be a CBDC in the US during  a Congressional hearing this week)

More recently, Rep. Maxine Waters, the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, introduced a proposal for stabelcoin oversight involving the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Federal Reserve.

Earlier this month, Republican Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, French Hill, had submitted a draft bill for stablecoin regulation, co-sponsored by Rep. Bryan Steil. In contrast to Water’s proposal, Hill’s bill grants stablecoin oversight to the OCC instead of the Federal Reserve.

This means that both Republican and Democratic lawmakers have introduced stablecoin regulations under the Trump administration.

TEXAS LAWMAKERS REFILE BITCOIN RESERVE BILL, ADDING ROOM FOR MORE CRYPTO

The bill “would make our state the first to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and drive innovation, growth, and financial freedom,” said Senator Schwertner.

Texas lawmakers have refiled a strategic Bitcoin reserve bill under a slightly different name, opening the door to investments in other qualifying cryptocurrencies.

“SB 21 would make our state the first to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and drive innovation, growth, and financial freedom,” said Texas state Senator Charles Schwertner on Feb. 12.

He also thanked Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick for designating his bill to establish the Texas Strategic Bitcoin Reserve “as one of the Senate’s top 40 priority bills.”

“I’ve been told by the Lt. Governor’s office multiple times that this bill is a major priority,” said Satoshi Action Fund founder Dennis Porter in a post on X.

SB 21 differs slightly from SB 778, a similar strategic Bitcoin reserve bill that the Republican politician announced in mid-January.

The earlier legislation only permits the state to buy and hold BTC as a strategic asset and prevents its use for other state operations unless explicitly authorized.

Schwertner refiled the legislation “for the purpose of investing in cryptocurrency and the investment authority of the comptroller of public accounts over the reserve and certain other state funds” on Feb. 12.

The bill establishes the reserve as an investment vehicle, allowing the state to actively buy, sell, and manage crypto assets for financial security and economic resilience.

It also permits investments in other digital assets but stipulates that they must have had a market capitalization of at least $500 billion for the past twelve months. Currently, only Bitcoin falls into this category.

SB 21 also gives more control to financial experts, while SB 778 places control in the hands of state legislators and has stricter security, oversight, and funding rules.

Riot Platforms vice president of research, Pierre Rochard, commented that the new legislative text for the Texas SBR “is very bullish,” before adding “It removes the annual buying limit of $500 million, the legislature can appropriate as much as it wants to save BTC.”

There are currently 19 US states with a bill proposed, while Arizona and Utah have advanced legislation beyond the House committee level.

The most recent state to propose a crypto bill was North Carolina, which filed for legislation this week to allow the state to invest in Bitcoin exchange-traded products. North Dakota, meanwhile, has rejected legislation regarding crypto investments.

Wed. 12 Feb. 2025: BQQM!!! BREAKING: $1.05 Trillion Market Meltdown – Black Swan Event – National Security Alert! …JFK Awakening Q17 on Telegram

Financial Carnage: The $1.05 Trillion Market Bloodbath: As America prepared for disaster, the stock market plunged into absolute chaos. In a matter of hours, over $1.05 trillion in market value was wiped out, triggering one of the most severe financial meltdowns in history. This wasn’t just a market dip—this was a total collapse, a financial bloodbath. Investors raced to dump their assets, desperately trying to escape the crash before it got worse.

The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 plummeted, with even the biggest companies seeing their stocks nosedive. This was bigger than 2008. The speed and scale of the losses were staggering, leaving everyone from Wall Street traders to everyday Americans wondering just how deep this economic disaster would go. And the truth? This is just the first wave. The worst may still be on the horizon.

The Elite’s Escape: A Strategic Stock Dump Before the Crash: The elites knew this was coming, and they acted fast. Just days before the meltdown, a quiet but massive sell-off began. The wealthiest and most powerful figures in finance dumped their stocks at an alarming rate, knowing the collapse was imminent. Warren Buffett, the Oracle of Omaha, led the charge, selling $6.2 billion worth of Bank of America stock and nearly 390 million shares of Apple. He knew—and he wasn’t alone.

Across the financial world, hedge fund titans and corporate insiders joined the exodus, selling off their assets in a desperate bid to escape the crash. This was no coincidence. They saw the writing on the wall, and they made their move, leaving everyone else to pick up the pieces. The elites protected their fortunes while the rest of us are left to weather the storm.

Militia Man  Article quote:  "The Federal Court occupies a solid constitutional position that grants its supremacy in its decisions over the judicial bodies...and paves the way for implementing legislation in accordance with applicable constitutional frameworks."  I'm smiling large... everybody should be smiling...Iraq's ready to join the international financial system...The rejection of the appeals is the star of the show...It says, "The Federal Court settles the controversy and binds everyone to those decisions."  If this isn't the door opening for Iraq to the world I don't know what is...The shackles are off and Iraq has nothing stopping her at this stage...I think it's going to resonate throughout the world.

Tishwash: Investments 2025: Economic renaissance under the umbrella of the general budget

Mazhar Muhammad Salih, financial and economic advisor to Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani, confirmed today, Thursday, that investment projects for the year 2025 are an integral part of the investment section in the Federal General Budget Law.

He added in his statement to {Euphrates News} that "the three-year general budget was enacted to give the development policy sufficient flexibility in implementing investment projects without interruption, according to a flexible and rational vision that takes into account the indicators of the National Development Plan 2024-2028, and according to the available financing capabilities drawn up in the plan and the general budget together."  link

Tishwash:  Launching the implementation of the {Fursan} residential city.. and Al-Sudani: Iraq is facing a new industrial renaissance

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani launched, today, Wednesday, the executive works for the development project of the Al-Fursan residential city in the Al-Nahrawan area in Baghdad, on an area of ​​approximately (24,197) dunums, which includes the allocation of serviced residential lands distributed to members of the Ministry of Defense.

Al-Sudani handed over land ownership deeds to a number of families of martyrs from the armed forces.

Al-Sudani appreciated the efforts of the Ministry of Defense and other ministries supporting the launch of this project, stressing the work to provide serviced residential plots in the rest of the governorates, and directing the generalization of this experience to members of the rest of the other security agencies, indicating that the Knights City project will be implemented by the real estate developer and planned and implemented by the Ministry of Defense, with the support of the Ministry of Construction, Housing, Municipalities and Public Works, with the developer company obligated to implement with full specifications, and construct part of the basic services such as schools, health centers and service departments. 

He explained that the project is one of the government's paths to address the housing crisis, and a model in the governorates to include all members, officers and leaders of the Ministry of Defense, stressing that the government left the issue of distributing residential lands without infrastructure services, or designs that are appropriate for modern cities and various requirements.

Al-Sudani referred to the residential cities that will be implemented for the members of the armed forces, including the Al-Ghazlani City project in Mosul, and another city in Basra, in addition to laying the foundation stone for the 6th of November City in Taji, to cover the needs of housing units for citizens and members of the security services.

The following are the most important points made by the Prime Minister:

- The Ministry of Defense personnel defended the greater homeland, and we must provide them with a small homeland represented by a residential plot of land and decent services. 

We have a new city, “City of Roses,” at the level of a new governorate. It was referred to the investor, and we completed the contracts and its design, and implementation began.

- More than 110,000 housing units will be completed in “City of Roses”, which is 3 km away from the “City of Knights” residential project.

There is a 17 km road under construction, linking central Baghdad to the new residential cities and reaching the city of roses.

- Within the Baghdad Metro plan, new residential cities have been linked, and we are in the process of negotiating with international companies to implement this vital project.

The government has taken into consideration the advance planning for the next 30 years regarding the provision of services, means of transportation and a road network.

I renew the call to the private sector and businessmen to proceed with the implementation of housing projects and real estate development in Baghdad and the governorates, and the government will provide all facilities.

We call on the private sector to establish construction materials factories in light of the great urban renaissance in the country, as what is available does not cover the actual need.

The number of housing units in projects signed by the government has exceeded one million units.

The sovereign guarantees provided to the private sector confirm that Iraq is facing a new industrial renaissance for the emergence of national factories that cover the needs of the market.

The government is obligated to provide basic services such as sewage networks, drinking water, electricity, communications, and roads. link

Russia: We were about to complete important energy projects in Iraq, but the events of 2004 led to their suspension

Elbrus Kotrashev, the Russian Federation's ambassador to Iraq, confirmed that the decision to evacuate hundreds of Russian experts from Iraq in 2004 came after Russian teams working in the country were directly exposed to terrorist attacks.

During his interview on the "Qasary Al-Qawl" program with Salam Musafir on RT Arabic, on the occasion of "Diplomats' Day," he explained that "these attacks resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a number of experts, including Iraqis, which prompted the Russian authorities to take the decision to evacuate to protect the lives of its citizens."

"Russian companies were about to complete important projects in Iraq that began before 2003, especially in the energy sector, but the painful security events that occurred in 2004 led to the suspension of these projects and the evacuation of more than 900 Russian experts," Kotrashev added.

He continued: "After that, there was a long interruption in cooperation due to the turbulent security situation, but we want to continue the work and complete it successfully, especially since we are witnessing the suffering of the Iraqi people due to the scarcity of electricity."

Despite these challenges, the Russian ambassador stressed that relations between Baghdad and Moscow, which date back 80 years, are still strong and distinctive at all levels, describing them as going through their most beautiful stages in terms of the level and strength of cooperation. He pointed out that cooperation between the two countries covers multiple fields, including energy, education and culture.

Regarding cultural exchange, Kotrashev expressed Moscow's desire to open a Russian cultural center in Iraq, as it was during the Soviet era, explaining that the delay in this step is due to logistical reasons, not political or economic. He also spoke about educational cooperation between the two countries, noting that the number of Iraqi students in Russian universities ranges between 2,500 and 4,000 students.

Regarding cooperation in the energy sector, the ambassador pointed out that Russian investments in the Iraqi oil and gas sector amount to about $20 billion, and may be more. He stressed that Russia leads oil investments in Iraq, surpassing the United States and China, expressing his optimism about the possibility of expanding these investments in the future.

Regarding the possibility of a visit by a senior Russian official or President Putin to Iraq, Kotrashev said: “I hope the visit will be great, and I expect a warm welcome from the Iraqi government and people, but I do not know if it will happen soon because the president is busy with domestic and international issues.” link

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Wednesday Afternoon 2-12-25

America Stops The Monetary Dollar On Iraq: Does The Dollar Rise Against The Dinar?
 
February 12, 2025 Last update: February 12, 2025  Independent/- In a surprising step, reports indicate that the  United States of America decided to stop sending the cash dollar to Iraq, a decision that may have profound implications for the Iraqi economy and its financial market.
 
This shift raises many questions about its impact on the value of the Iraqi dinar, currency markets, and the local banking sector.

What is the cash dollar?  The cash dollar indicates the money that is financially sent to Iraq by the United States, usually through banks or through other economic mechanisms.
 
This cash flow was playing an important role in supporting the Iraqi economy, especially in light of the economic challenges facing the country.
 
The reason for the American decision
 
The sources indicate that the American decision comes in the context of economic and diplomatic pressures on Iraq, which includes issues related to the national economy and monetary policies.
 
Some reports also indicate that the United States may seek to reduce the use of the dollar in Iraqi financial transactions, in an attempt to enhance the stability of the local currency and reduce dependence on foreign currencies.
 
The impact of the decision on the Iraqi dinar
 
This decision is expected to lead to noticeable fluctuations in the local currency market.
 
The US dollar is considered one of the basic currencies that are traded in Iraq, and
 
its cash flow stopped may lead to a lack of supply, which may push the dollar to rise against the dinar.
 
The impact of the rise on the Iraqi market
 
Increasing the value of the dollar may lead to high prices in the Iraqi market, which exacerbates the burden of inflation and affects the ability of citizens to buy basic commodities.
 
This may also indirectly affect economic activity, especially in sectors that depend heavily on import.
 
Are there solutions?
 
The Iraqi government will have a major challenge in dealing with these developments.
 
The next stage may require the development of new economic and financial strategies to alleviate the impact of sudden changes in currency rates.

It is necessary that there be a trend towards strengthening the Iraqi dinar and diversifying the sources of the national economy away from the great dependence on the dollar.
 
Conclusion
 
With these developments, it will be important to follow the effects of this decision in the short and long term.  Iraq needs decisive steps to secure the stability of its national currency and protect its economy from the repercussions of the decision to stop the monetary dollar.  https://mustaqila.com/أمريكا-توقف-الدولار-النقدي-على-العراق/  

Protecting The Financial System Is A Priority For The Central Bank

Samir Al-Nusairi   Some media outlets, social media networks and non-specialist analysts have begun to return to their analyses and statements to frighten citizens about US decisions to tighten economic sanctions on Iran.

We must make it clear here that Iraq's top priority is to protect its national economy, financial system and monetary system from international or American economic sanctions imposed on some countries. And its priority, according to its financial and monetary policies, is to avoid being a party to that.

This is well known to the US Treasury, international organizations, and international auditing and regulatory bodies, that "the Iraqi economy faced many crises and challenges, extending to the years before 2023, but the government, the Central Bank of Iraq, and the banking sector faced them wisely, harmoniously, and with high coordination, in order to know and determine the causes of these crises, and what are the solutions and treatments for the purpose of overcoming them quickly,"

as the Central Bank began at the beginning of 2023, using many procedures, such as using the electronic platform application, for foreign transfers in compliance with international standards and controls, which were represented by organizing the financing of foreign trade in directions that make the Iraqi banking sector regulated by international banking standards.

And that "these measures were fruitful during 2023 and 2024, and his policy of opening accounts in solid foreign correspondent banks for banks that lacked these banks succeeded.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF), the US Treasury, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have commended the Central Bank’s measures in overcoming most of the comments, confirming the transparency of foreign transfers, and moving to cancel the platform and direct dealings between our banks and correspondent banks under the direct supervision of the supervisory bodies for foreign transfers and ensuring their arrival to the final beneficiary.

At a rate exceeding 97%, in addition to the government and the Central Bank contracting with international auditing and consulting companies with the aim of developing banks and ensuring their compliance with international standards.

These companies are Ernst & Young, K2, Oliver and Eman, and they are currently operating according to the roadmap and plans drawn up for that.

The Iraqi government, in cooperation with the Central Bank, has taken several steps in this direction, the most important of which is automating the tax system and the customs system. In view of this strict commitment to protecting our financial system, we reassure everyone that there is no possibility of imposing new sanctions on the banking sector. These are just rumors and have absolutely no basis in truth.    https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=52720

Iraq Exports More Than 8 Million Barrels Of Oil To America In A Month

Energy Economy News – Baghdad  The US Energy Information Administration announced today, Wednesday, that Iraq exported more than 8 million barrels of crude oil and its derivatives to the United States during the month of November 2024.

A schedule of the administration, which was reviewed by "Al-Eqtisad News", showed that "Iraq exported about 8 million and 510 thousand barrels of oil and its products during the month of November", indicating that this quantity "is greater than the month of October, which amounted to 6 million and 800 thousand barrels".

The US Energy Information Administration stated that "the total crude oil exported from Iraq to America in November amounted to 6.718 million barrels, while the remaining 1.792 million barrels were petroleum derivatives, including 1.788 million barrels of non-condensate oils and four thousand barrels of remaining fuel oil."

Iraqi oil exports to the United States have increased significantly over recent years, with export figures reaching record levels in some months, due in part to Iraq's ability to increase its oil production, as well as rising global demand for oil.

Oil trade relations between Iraq and the United States play an important role in strengthening economic relations between the two countries, and contribute to enhancing the stability of the global oil market and providing energy to the American and global economies.  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=52719

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Evening 2-12-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

CONGRESS EXPLORES SHORTCUTS FOR DIGITAL ASSET REGULATORY CLARITY, INCLUDING MARKET STRUCTURE

Yesterday the House Financial Services digital asset subcommittee held a hearing on charting a path forward on digital assets. There’s a consensus that stablecoin legislation is urgent, with multiple Bills circulating.

However, there’s also a need for legislation around market infrastructure, including regulating crypto exchanges. Last year the House passed the FIT 21 Bill, but there was less progress in the Senate. One of the topics discussed during the hearing was whether the SEC could provide a solution in the interim.

A takeaway from the hearing is a lightweight alternative to a full crypto infrastructure Bill such as FIT 21. For now legislation may only be needed to make the CFTC the regulator of spot crypto commodity markets. The steps might involve:

1. Delegating authority to regulate spot crypto to the CFTC via legislation
2. Creating a self regulatory organization (SRO) jointly overseen by the CFTC and SEC which would set rules for crypto exchanges and the like
3. The SEC clarifies rules on when a digital asset is a security or not
4. The SEC creates some new exemption(s) for digital asset issuers
5. And all the other items on the list recently proposed by SEC Commissioner Peirce.

Even if that’s not the long term solution, it might be the fastest interim one.

Regulatory exemptions

Congressman Hill asked Coy Garrison about the various SEC exemptions currently used for issuing digital assets. Mr Garrison previously served as counsel to SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce. 

The lawyer explained that many issuers use Regulation S, which restricts the asset to offshore investors. Those willing to target US investors often use Regulation D, which means assets are only available to wealthy investors.

“What I think the ecosystem has to understand is that not all these needed activities can be taken care of by the Commission by itself without Congress,” said Congressman Hill. And he asked what sort of exemption system the SEC could add without Congress.

Mr Garrison suggested something similar to Commissioner Peirce’s Safe Harbor provisions, which would allow access to retail investors.

Last week Commissioner Peirce mentioned reviewing Regulation A and crowdfunding rules.

Additionally, Mr Garrison noted that disclosure requirements could be tailored, as token holders have different interests compared to shareholders who need financial statements, which he clarified in his written testimony. He noted that many provisions from other exemptions could be used, including limits on the number of investors and the proportion of a person’s net worth that can be invested.

Another witness, former CFTC Chair Timothy Massad, is keen for the SEC to take a first pass, rather than Congress. He highlighted that the SEC only needs the three votes of its Republican Commissioners, compared to 60 Senate votes.

“I have confidence that they (the SEC) can come up with some interesting ideas, but this is a very difficult issue to address. And I’m worried that if Congress tries to do it, we’ll undermine our Securities markets,” said Mr Massad. He was responding to questions from Congressman Haridopolos, who observed that the challenge with leaving it all to the regulators is that administrations change.

A crypto Self Regulatory Organization?

Congressman Hill, who previously chaired this subcommittee and now chairs the main House Financial Services Committee, asked Mr Garrison about self regulatory organizations (SROs).

“You’ve advocated for a joint SRO to oversee digital assets as a convenient way to sort of sidestep these questions. Do you still advocate for that?,” he asked.

Mr Garrison requested clarification about whether the SRO would be jointly overseen by the SEC and CFTC, which Congressman Hill confirmed.

“Yes, I think that could potentially work great,” Mr Garrison responded. “Any type of communication between the two agencies and coordination on regulations would make sense.”

Clarifying how regulated entities can interact with digital assets

Congressman Stutzman asked which topics should be the highest priority for the SEC. Mr Garrison responded that clarifying the status of digital assets under the securities laws and scoping out which activities fall outside the scope of securities laws are the most important, as everything else flows from that.

He continued, “Providing guidance on how regulated intermediaries by the SEC can touch digital assets. Now that would apply both in the context of digital assets that are not securities as well as digital assets that are securities like a tokenized stock. Providing a clear pathway for broker dealers, investment advisers, clearing agencies, transfer agents to be able to engage will really allow the ecosystem to flourish.”

It must be emphasized that this light legislation approach was only touched upon briefly, and not everybody agreed. One of the witnesses was Jonathan Jachym, Deputy General Counsel at the Kraken Digital Asset Exchange, one of the largest in the United States.

“These things are not mutually exclusive,” he said. “I know there’s been discussion of let’s wait, let’s move stablecoins first. Let’s wait on market structure. We cannot wait any further. And Congress doesn’t need to move a market structure Bill that solves every single problem in the ecosystem.

We are talking about the most basic, foundational rules of regulating centralized exchanges. And these two agencies can continue to work in tandem while Congress advances the Bill in this cycle.”

BRICS: IS DONALD TRUMP’S PLAN TO SAVE THE US DOLLAR WORKING?

The last several weeks have seen geopolitical tensions reach a fever pitch. With the global south and the US facing off, a trade war is seemingly brewing between both sides. Yet, after his confrontation with the BRICS alliance, is US President Donald Trump’s plan to save the US dollar working?

Trump had expressed his desire to confront nations seeking to abandon the US dollar after his election win late last year. Indeed, he has adopted an aggressive economic policy that is looking to dissuade attempts at lessening international reliance on the greenback. Two months into his White House return, are those efforts working?

Is Donald Trump’s BRICS Attack Helping Preserve the US Dollar?

On the campaign trail last year, Donald Trump said the US dollar losing its status as the world’s currency would be akin to the nation losing a war. That has spurred the returning president to action. Specifically, he has targeted the BRICS bloc, which has been outspoken in its de-dollarization initiatives.

For the last two years, the group has sought to lessen international reliance on the US dollar. Led by Russia and China, it sought to increase the use of local currencies and went more or less unchecked. The efforts were minimal in scope, and the Biden administration acted through its inaction, perceiving the situation as non threatening.

That has not been the case with the returning administration. Indeed, with BRICS looking to slow those very local currency efforts, is Donald Trump’s plan to save the US dollar working? To this point, it has certainly benefited the greenback.

Prior to Tuesday, the US dollar had been gaining for three straight days. Just last week, the US Dollar index enjoyed its biggest daily rise in nearly a month, according to Reuters. Moreover, the imposition of Trump’s tariff threats has seen a host of nations speak out against the BRICS perceived de-dollarization.

India and Indonesia have both been adamant about the group’s purpose. They state that the alliance is only seeking to benefit involved nations economically and has no interest in targeting the dollar. Alternatively, Russia has publicly nixed plans for a BRICS currency, something Trump required when he threatened tariffs originally.

However, the merits of his economic policy are concerning when considering the merits of de-dollarization. The US dollar had been losing strength but was not threatened. Therefore, his plan to save it may have been enacted under pretenses that were misguided.

Why Momentum Says this Market is in Trouble

Why Momentum Says this Market is in Trouble

Wealthion:  2-11-2025

In a recent episode of Wealthion hosted by James Connor, financial expert Michael Oliver, the founder of Momentum Structural Analysis, provided an insightful analysis of the current state of the markets.

With momentum models indicating troubling signs that could predict significant downturns, investors might be overlooking critical data that precedes major price movements.

Oliver’s approach is distinct from traditional price chart analysis. While most investors focus on price trends and historical data, Oliver emphasizes the importance of momentum signals—factors that can indicate structural weaknesses in a market before they manifest in price changes.

This early warning system looks at various components within the market dynamics that often shift before prices react, making it a valuable tool for proactive investors.

One of the most alarming insights shared by Oliver is the similarity of current market patterns to those observed before past bear markets. He highlighted the behaviors of key indices such as the NASDAQ and S&P 500, which are currently showing signs that could foreshadow a significant downturn. Are we on the brink of a bear market that could see declines of 50% or more?

The interview delved into factors contributing to this potential bear market, prompting the question: Are the bubble markets poised to collapse? With the tech-heavy NASDAQ and other previously hot global markets displaying early indicators of weakness, Oliver raises the alarm that a correction is impending—one that could catch many investors off guard due to their reliance on price data alone.

The term “Everything Bubble” was pivotal in the conversation, with Oliver challenging the notion that current market conditions can sustain themselves indefinitely. As asset prices across a variety of sectors bubbles up, there’s an increasing risk that they could deflate simultaneously.

 Oliver advises investors to be hyper-aware of these market dynamics because the consequences of a widespread correction can be severe and widespread.

In contrast to traditional equities, Oliver asserted that commodities, especially gold and silver, could be on the verge of a major breakout. With their historical performance often inversely correlated with stock market performance during downturns, he advocates that now might be the time to reassess asset allocations. As inflationary pressures continue to rise, the defensive properties of precious metals become notably appealing.

Finally, the discussion touched on the Federal Reserve and its influence on the market. As the central bank navigates interest rates and monetary policy adjustments, Oliver raised critical questions about the Fed’s future moves—specifically, how these could inadvertently backfire and exacerbate market instability.

With continuous shifts in monetary policy, there’s a pressing need for vigilance among investors, as the Fed’s actions could trigger a domino effect that rattles the entire economic landscape.

The conversation with Michael Oliver serves as a critical reminder for investors to pay close attention to momentum signals rather than solely focusing on traditional price charts.

The insights provided about current market dynamics—the potential for a bear market, the implications of the Everything Bubble, and the shifting roles of precious metals—present a compelling case for a more cautious approach to investment strategy.

As the markets evolve, those who remain vigilant will be better positioned to navigate the uncertainties that lie ahead.

Welcome to the Big call. Everyone tonight. Welcome everyone, as I usually say to the big call. I was thinking, what day it was?

It is Tuesday, February 11th and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for coming in, everybody. Thanks for tuning in. We're going to have a really good and a little faster call tonight, but we're going to get a lot of information out to you, and I look forward to doing this that we're in pre celebration mode, guys, pre celebration, and, yeah, that's really what we're saying. So we're in good shape.

All right, thank you, Bob. I appreciate that.  Let's go ahead and knock out this intel segment. What's interesting about where we are is I have to think back to how much I've heard and not heard since our last call on Thursday night, right? Five days. A lot has happened. A lot of information has come in.

Some of it has invalidated itself with new information that has superseded it. And I want you guys to realize that what I do is I get information usually cleared through, sometimes two. And it clears, and it comes to me, and then I have to, okay, how does this line up with the other things that were a day ago or two days ago?

And I resolve anything that wasn’t clear with new information, and I go through and I listen to what there is, and I try to vet the information as well as I can, to check on it and see where's it coming through, what sources and so on, because we have a lot of different sources that bring us information, even though it's getting tougher and tougher for certain types of banking sources or redemption center sources, because they're all under NDAs, new NDAs, and they really can't tell us much, if anything, it's very close.

So I'll just tell you this much we have as of today. We make this room now yesterday was Monday. As of yesterday, we have rates on redemption center screens, which was  not on for three or four days prior, we had one bank screens. They're still on bank screens, but there were not on redemption center screens until yesterday, at nine in the morning now,

Now they're still on, but they want us to be, they being the Treasury, the government, however, want to look at it.  They want us to be pleasantly surprised by very strong rates that are at the redemption centers. And I believe we will be very impressed with those rates. It's not about rate for us, if you're a Zim holder, you know you're on par with the US Dollar  - On par means the same value as  

And then the other thing is, if you're looking at it, are I've told you guys they plan to offer us a contract rate, which I told you last week, was quite high. And I gave you the amount, roughly the rough amount, if you had the intuition to  figure it out

The other rates are very strong. And I myself think I know roughly where a few of them are, but I'm not even sure at this point they could be even better than I thought they were - Now the trick is going to be to just take the toll free number comes in, and I'll talk about that in a moment.

Take it call the number, which will put you through a call center, possibly AI controlled first, and then it should transfer you to a live, real, live, breathing person at the redemption center that will help you to finalize your appointment  at the zip code  that you indicate when you first get on with your AI person list. So call it okay.

You have to give them two things, your name and  your zip code. Now they may ask for more than that, but that is what I believe you'll need just those two things, your name and your zip code for where you want to exchange could be near where you live. It could be near where you work, or it could be a completely different area because you're traveling and you're in a different state, that's possible too, but you just need to find out what the zip code is in that area you want to be.

So that gets you into the system. You go ahead and speak to the person. Shouldn't take more than a minute -  two at the most to get what you need from the person as a person finishes up with you setting the appointment. Appointments are supposed to be about no longer than 30 to 40 minutes, and they've allotted an extra 10 minute as a buffer between appointment times.

Okay, so you should have appointments every 50 minutes. As a result, 40 to get everything done, and 10 minute buffer between the next person coming in. So you get out of there, a new person gets in, they reset whatever they need to do on the do that. We machine the computers and all that, and they're ready to go.

 Okay, that's gonna be cool now, once they get started, I think that is but once they get started, they will continue to see us to do appointments to exchange and redeem the Zim for at least two weeks. Some redemption centers are going to go 19 days. Some might just need to go a week. Depends on the demographics in the area we're talking about.

 For certain parts of the country where they're  not that many Zim holders not many currency holders. Parts like Florida the most Zim holders. Texas has a second most Zim holders - California, third most Zim holders  And then we go to other states beyond that.So  it’s all good - Just realize, if you're in Florida, so just do your best to set your appointment  and realize there are a lot of people in Florida that have Zim, and that's a priority thing.

 Obviously, they want the Zim in because the huge value in those notes. Okay, you can have one note, one ten trillion note, and be golden. You could have a 50 T or 100 T or multiple trillions of notes, and you're going to be in great shape. It's hard really to imagine how much we're talking about, but let's do it this way.

 Let me tell you we have today, everybody, all the redemption centers are fully staffed - all the currencies are live on the screens and we’re really ready get started.

We had a possibility of getting notified this evening, after six o'clock, and I didn't buy that was going to happen, but tomorrow it looks like, from what we're hearing, Tomorrow is Wednesday. We should get notified. Maybe it's before or maybe it's by noon tomorrow, and then we set our appointments and start exchanges on Thursday. That's what we've heard so far. That's what I'm going with as far as that goes.

Now, the only other thing I’m going to tell you tonight is when it comes to us – getting in touch with you after this goes I'm going to make the assumption that we might have a celebration call Thursday night. If we get these over tomorrow and we start our exchanges Thursday, I hope that we're still allowed to do one last call. Why? Which would be a celebration call?

 Okay, so I'm going to, I'm going to schedule that, or believe that that's going to happen same time same station Thursday night. Now, obviously, if we don't get the numbers for some reason tomorrow, then we will do a normal call, or don't get them Thursday morning for some reason, then we will do a Thursday night call.

But at this point, from what I'm hearing, we should be celebrating on Thursday night, but we'll do the call Thursday night assuming that we have numbers and we actually set our appointments and gone in for some exchanges and redemption of zim.

Let's see one more thing, when it comes to us being in contact with you, you know we have the big call universe .com which you should be registered on. All you is use your email to register, and we will be in touch with you. The 800 number comes out. It'll be on the website, and we'll also send out an email to you with the 800 number.

 Look for both of those, and you'll probably get your email from Wells Fargo tomorrow anyway, and see that before we have it, unless something weird happens, and I get it early for some reason, but at this point we don’t expect that, we'll see what happens on that.

The other thing is, after this goes, we need time to do everything you guys are going to do. We need time to look and lock in real estate. We need time to possibly get a new car or whatever. We need time to maybe take a week's vacation. All of that take a little time.

So I wanted to tell you guys all that again.  I cannot say I'm calling it, but this is the next best thing I know. Guys, we've been there thinking, remember, I'm bringing you the best Intel that's out there, but it does not always come true. But realize, we think this is looking very, very good for support, toll, bias, Treasury, source, this is a new person in the new US. Treasury guys, yesterday, he said, this will be a glorious week.

And of course, we didn't realize at that time that we're looking at Wednesday, Thursday, but that's what it looks like right now, Wednesday notifications, set up appointments, Thursdays. That's what we've got right now at this time.

So I want to let you guys know that appreciate you listening in for the past. Sorry, 14 years now. We finished 13 years at the end of 24 and we started well, we're two months in. We're in our second month of the 13th year. The big call. and want to thank Sue and Bob. And thank you guys so much.

Thank you satellite team for getting this call all over the globe in so many different languages with that special software. And thank you thank all universe for listening. Some of you since the very first call, December 28 of 2011  Wow, that's been a while. That's right, we're in our 14th here. So thank you guys for listening. I appreciate it. God bless you. Let's go ahead and find the phone and then light it up and then turn off the recording
