Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

SEC Launches Cross-Border Pump-and-Dump Prevention Task Force

The new initiative targets market manipulation schemes and signals future reforms for crypto assets.

A New SEC Task Force
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has unveiled a new Cross-Border Task Force aimed at protecting American investors from fraud. The initiative will focus on foreign companies that attempt to skirt U.S. oversight through schemes like pump-and-dump operations.

SEC Chair Paul S. Atkins emphasized: “We welcome companies from around the world seeking access to the U.S. capital markets. But we will not tolerate bad actors… that attempt to use international borders to frustrate and avoid U.S. investor protections.”

The task force will consolidate investigative resources and give the SEC broader reach against transnational fraud.

Crypto Reform on the Horizon
Atkins linked the new initiative to the SEC’s Project Crypto, which supports President Donald Trump’s push to make the U.S. the world’s crypto capital. He signaled that the regulator is preparing to overhaul how digital assets are treated under securities law.

“We will work to bring crypto asset distributions back to America. The days of convoluted offshore corporate structures, decentralization theater, and confusion over security status are over,” Atkins said.

He added that the SEC had previously discouraged crypto-based capital raising, pushing innovation offshore. The new approach seeks to reverse that trend and restore opportunities for investors.

Why This Matters
The SEC’s new task force reflects a broader shift: tighter scrutiny on global market manipulation and a coming reset in crypto regulation. For U.S. investors, the message is clear—Washington intends to both protect markets from foreign fraud and position America as the center of digital asset innovation.

This Week’s US Economic Calendar: CPI, PPI, and Jobs Data to Watch

Markets brace for key reports that could shape the Fed’s September decision and ripple across stocks, gold, and crypto.

Markets Price in Rate Cut
Traders enter the week with high conviction that the Federal Reserve will cut rates at its September meeting. Futures point to a 96–97% probability, bolstered by weak labor market data showing just 22,000 jobs added in August. Bond yields have slipped, equities are climbing, and gold has reached new highs near $3,588/oz.

Tuesday: Inflation Revision
The week begins with a BLS 12-month inflation data revision. If revisions trend higher, it could pressure the Fed and weigh on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Softer numbers may instead provide relief for risk assets.

Wednesday: Producer Price Index
Midweek brings the Producer Price Index (PPI). Rising wholesale prices would signal sticky inflation, a negative for risk assets. A cooler PPI, however, could give crypto markets room for a rebound.

Thursday: CPI and OPEC in Focus
Thursday is the most critical day, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for August released alongside OPEC’s monthly oil report. Rising energy costs could intensify inflation concerns, creating a double catalyst for volatility in equities and digital assets.

Friday: Consumer Sentiment and Inflation Expectations
The week ends with the University of Michigan survey, offering a look at consumer sentiment and inflation expectations. Persistent price concerns could dampen market confidence, while optimism might fuel a late-week rally in crypto.

Why This Matters
With inflation still the Fed’s central concern, this week’s data could set the tone for the final quarter of 2025. Traders are watching bonds, commodities, and crypto closely as the Fed’s next move—and broader risk appetite—comes into focus.

Ripple’s SEC Battle Is Over: Time To Challenge SWIFT?

With legal clarity finally secured, Ripple turns back to its original mission: competing with the world’s dominant payments network.

Ripple Clears Its Legal Hurdle
Ripple has ended its long-running battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, bringing long-sought legal clarity to XRP, now trading near $2.93. The settlement removes a major obstacle that has hung over the company since 2020 and allows Ripple to refocus on building its payments network.

How Ripple Compares to SWIFT
The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), established in 1973, processes over 53 million messages daily across 220 countries. While SWIFT is deeply entrenched, critics argue its system is outdated:

• Transactions often take several days and involve high fees.

• One in 10 transactions fails, while one in 20 settles late.

• Even with ISO 20022 upgrades by late 2025, many see SWIFT as “legacy tech” reliant on XML.

By contrast, Ripple’s blockchain ledger offers:

• Near-instant settlement

• Lower costs

• Greater transparency and traceability

CEO Brad Garlinghouse has long framed Ripple as a modern alternative to SWIFT, saying as early as 2018 that the company was “taking over SWIFT” by signing banks and remittance firms onto the XRP Ledger.

Why SWIFT Still Holds the Advantage
Despite Ripple’s momentum, the banking sector remains slow to change. Blockchain advocates note that replacing SWIFT’s infrastructure could take 5–7 years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Banks continue using SWIFT because it is already universal, trusted, and familiar.

As Ripple’s Cassie Craddock put it, “Scaling to the level of traditional providers requires tackling two key hurdles: usability and regulation.”

The Role of Regulation and Stablecoins
Ripple now benefits from unique legal clarity on XRP, but broader adoption also hinges on regulatory frameworks like the GENIUS Act, which sets rules for stablecoin issuers. Ripple’s own stablecoin, Ripple USD, is being positioned as a bridge between blockchain innovation and traditional finance.

“Stablecoins are simple, pegged to the dollar, and behave like cash,” Craddock noted, adding that this familiarity is key to winning over institutions.

Can Ripple Truly Challenge SWIFT?
SWIFT’s ubiquity is its strongest moat. For Ripple to compete, it must overcome regulatory inconsistencies, risk-averse banks, and skepticism over XRP liquidity. Still, U.S. policymakers are creating space for private digital assets to complement traditional finance — and Ripple is well positioned to benefit.

As Garlinghouse said earlier this year, “The market opportunity is massive in the U.S… there’s an opportunity to modernize the payment systems from SWIFT.”

Why This Matters
Ripple’s victory over the SEC marks a turning point, but SWIFT remains a formidable incumbent. The battle ahead is not legal but structural: convincing banks and regulators that blockchain can deliver efficiency, security, and compliance at global scale.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 8 September 2025

Compiled Mon. 8 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Trump has already (allegedly) triggered the end of federal income tax as states activate the Sovereign Wealth Reserve. Death to the IRS means XPR rails in a People’s Banking System. While globalists schemed with CBDCs, patriots (allegedly) built a decentralized shield: 0–3% APR Home & Car Loans, Anonymous savings outside big banks, Business credit independent of Wall Street.

The states’ Sovereign Wealth Reserve(allegedly)  targets the Deepstate’s blade: Property Tax, Federal Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax. A new system of credit unions and XPR blockchain rails was already rolling out where value flows back to citizens through tax-free dividend accounts, a Dividend Dollar with 3% annual yield and state-controlled wealth inside credit union networks.

“A 50-state banking independence from the Fed Power (allegedly) returns to the states — and to the people. Every American owns a share of this nation. The IRS doesn’t own you — YOU own America.” — Trump, August 2025

What We Think We Know as of Mon. 8 September 2025:

Mon. 8 Sept. 2025 Quantum Financial System Global Currency Reset Payouts (allegedly)  Unleashed

Sun. 7 Sept. 2025 President Trump just detonated the boldest financial strike in modern U.S. history — a $600 Social Security increase(allegedly)   for struggling seniors, a $200 universal boost (allegedly)  for all recipients, and a direct purge of corruption inside the Federal Reserve. This isn’t policy tweaking. This is war on the rigged financial empire that has bled America dry for decades.

Sun. 7 Sept. 2025 NESARA ARRIVES IN LOUISIANA — AND IT’S A DIRECT HIT ON THE SYSTEM

In 2025, the National Economic Stabilization and Recovery Act (NESARA) is back in the spotlight — and it just (allegedly)  landed at the Louisiana State Capitol with thunder. For decades, NESARA has been buried, smeared, and ignored by establishment voices. Why? Because it dares to propose a full-scale restructuring of America’s financial system. And now, it’s(allegedly)   gaining momentum. From the halls of Baton Rouge, a political fire is rising — one that seeks to abolish the IRS, cancel compound interest, dismantle the Federal Reserve, and hand economic power back to the American people.

Sun. 7 Sept. 2025 ALERT! IT Outage Confirmed as Trial Run for ‘The Great Blackout’—10 Days of Darkness, Worldwide EBS Activation, and the Imminent Global Reset Under GESARA/NESARA!

The recent IT outage wasn’t just a technical glitch. It was a (allegedly) coordinated test for what’s coming next: The Great Blackout. Global communications systems were probed for weaknesses by forces preparing for the worldwide Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) activation. The Cabal’s long-held control over tech giants was (allegedly) exposed, revealing their grip on global narratives and information.

What’s coming is a 10-day period of total blackout. All communication channels—TV, radio, internet—will be severed. The world will be transitioned to a new Quantum Financial System (QFS) in preparation for (allegedly) GESARA/NESARA. The old, corrupt systems will be dismantled. You need to be ready. Understanding the principles of GESARA/NESARA is crucial as we transition into a new era of debt forgiveness, income tax abolition, and wealth redistribution.

Prepare for the Reset: As the old world crumbles, new systems will rise. The global stock market will (allegedly) collapse, making way for NESARA/GESARA’s financial equity. Tesla’s free energy will replace the existing power grids, and the dominance of Cabal-controlled crypto currencies will end.

A new golden age is on the horizon. The dismantling of the old, corrupt systems and the implementation of the QFS will (allegedly) restore power to the people. Prepare for the storm. It’s coming soon.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Late Sunday Evening 9-7-25

 Between Revenue Promises And Deficit Realities... What Does Increasing Iraq's Oil Share Mean?
 
Baghdad Today – Baghdad   Iraq's eyes are once again turning to oil markets,  where every adjustment to production quotas  represents a potential opportunity  to alleviate the financial pressures weighing on the budget.
 
With an annual deficit exceeding tens of trillions of dinars, and a  rising wage bill and government subsidies,  any increase in oil revenues appears to be a temporary respite   that allows Baghdad to cover its urgent obligations.

Economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi explained in a Facebook post, followed by Baghdad Today, that  
"OPEC Plus will add 137,000 barrels per day to its production  starting next October, and that  Iraq's share will increase by 17,000 barrels per day,  bringing its total production to 4,137,000 barrels per day,"  indicating limited gains    that could help alleviate part of the growing deficit.
 
The increase indicated by Al-Marsoumi   came following a virtual meeting of eight OPEC+ countries, including: 
        Saudi Arabia,
        Russia,
        Iraq, the
        UAE,
        Kuwait,
        Kazakhstan,
        Algeria, and
        Oman.
 
The joint statement issued by the meeting emphasized "commitment to market stability in light of  declining inventories and a  stable global economic outlook," and emphasized that the  production adjustment of 137,000 barrels per day represents  part of a gradual return from previous voluntary cuts that began in 2023.
 
Analysts believe this move reflects the group's desire to maintain price balance without shocking the market.
 
But the most important question for Iraq, as experts pose, is:
 
To what extent will this limited increase in production be reflected in reducing the fiscal deficit?
 
Experts assert that  "increased revenues may give Iraq a little breathing room,"but the reality reveals that any increase remains conditional on  stable oil prices on global markets and on  Baghdad's ability to manage resources without waste.
 
Given the country's continued reliance on oil as its primary source of revenue,
    the economy remains vulnerable to fluctuations, and
    fear persists that any price crisis could turn into a new financial burden.

This logic brings to the forefront criticisms of the nature of Iraq's rentier economy.
 
Additional revenues, while important, do not necessarily address the deep structure of the economy.
 
Analysts believe that the near-exclusive reliance on oil revenues makes the country hostage to
    OPEC+ decisions and  global market prices,  leaving economic development dependent on external circumstances   rather than domestic production capacity.
 
The question here is repeated:
    Is it enough for Iraq to "breathe a little" whenever its production share increases?

Or does the deeper problem lie in the absence of an economic strategy that addresses the  structural deficit,  independent of oil revenues?
 
In addition to these concerns, risks related to international politics are also present.
 
Iraqi oil-exporting companies, most notably SOMO, may be subject to further pressure after the United States recently imposed sanctions on Iraqi businessmen accused of "mixing and smuggling Iranian oil with Iraqi oil."
 
Experts warn that any sanctions targeting SOMO could undermine the gains from the anticipated increase in production and put Iraq directly at odds with new complications related to accessing global markets.
 
Between a  slight increase in production,    ongoing financial pressures, and    growing political risks, the   Iraqi landscape remains gripped by a complex paradox:   additional revenues capable of temporarily  reducing the deficit, a  rentier economy that reproduces its crises with every oil cycle, and an  international system that    closely monitors and  clamps down on any loopholes in  smuggling and   oil mixing.      https://baghdadtoday.news/282724-.html  

Iraq's Oil Exports To The US Achieve Weekly Gains.

Economy | 07/09/2025  Mawazine News - Follow-up : Iraqi oil exports to the United States increased last week.
The US Energy Information Administration said that "US crude oil imports from nine major countries averaged 5.859 million barrels per day last week, up 169,000 barrels per day from the previous week, which averaged 5.690 million barrels per day."

It added that "Iraq's oil exports to the US averaged 303,000 barrels, up 166,000 barrels per day from the previous week, which averaged 137,000 barrels per day."

It continued, "The largest oil revenues to the US last week came from Canada, at an average of 3.836 million barrels per day, followed by Mexico, at an average of 407,000 barrels per day, Saudi Arabia, at an average of 325,000 barrels, and Colombia, at an average of 321,000 barrels per day." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=266362

Ministry Of Planning: The Development Plan Focused On Activating Non-Oil Revenues.
Buratha News Agency144  2025-09-06  The Ministry of Planning confirmed, on Saturday, that the five-year development plan is flexible and responsive to variables, including economic, security and climate crises, and gives priority to service projects, noting that the development plan focused on activating non-oil revenues.

The spokesperson for the Ministry of Planning, Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi, told the official agency, “Planning takes into account all variables and sets the worst possible scenarios for occurrence, in order to at least reduce their effects and overcome them.

” He explained that “the five-year development plan, which was launched at the end of last year and extends until 2028, took into account global changes, price fluctuations and the state of (uncertainty) resulting from political crises and wars, all of which have their effects on Iraq, given that it is part of the global system that is affected and is affected through imports, exports and oil.”

He added, "The ministry has moved towards activating non-oil activities, such as agriculture, industry, and tourism, in addition to developing the tax system and maximizing revenues from various sources, to reduce the impact of global and even domestic variables.

 He emphasized, "The plan was developed to be flexible, applicable, and participatory, and we have identified two main paths in it: innovation in addressing problems, and programming development action, thus achieving a balance between variables and constants."

Al-Hindawi also pointed out that “the Ministry of Planning includes projects within plans, whether regional development plans for governorates or the investment program for ministries and entities not affiliated with a ministry. No project is implemented unless it is included within the plan by the ministry, after preparing a feasibility study.

” He pointed out that “the project that is included and implemented by the relevant entity, the ministry’s task is to follow up on implementation and point out any errors or deviations, and then issue letters and directives to the relevant entities regarding the reasons for the delay.”

He also explained that "some projects are stalled due to problems between the implementing company and the beneficiary, and these are factors the ministry is working to address in coordination with relevant authorities." He emphasized that "the ministry is working in light of the government program and its priorities, as the program has given priority to projects of a service nature, such as sewage, water, and school projects."

Al-Hindawi also stressed that “education comes first, followed by road projects, then industrial and agricultural projects,” explaining that “priorities are also determined based on the development gap between one governorate and another.

If a governorate suffers from a problem with sewage networks, this sector is given priority, while if another governorate suffers from a problem with drinking water, water projects are given priority. All of this is done based on the development and spatial gap in services and projects.”   https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/464719

Foreigners Own Less US Government Debt—Is That a Good Thing?

Foreigners Own Less US Government Debt—Is That a Good Thing? [Podcast]

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon black) 

The US owes a LOT less money to China today than it did a few years ago. As recently as three years ago, for example, China held $1.3 trillion worth of US government bonds. Today they’re down to around $750 billion.

In other words, China’s government has decided to cut back on its US dollar Treasury holdings by more than 40% over the past three years.

And at first, that might sound like a good thing— HOORAY! More independence from foreign creditors! America is better off without that Chinese money! Right?

But in reality this is a huge problem. Because it’s not just China.

• Going back to the years before Covid, roughly a third of US debt was owned by foreigner governments and foreign central banks.

• But then federal debt skyrocketed during the pandemic, and US government credibility plummeted. Even the government’s credit rating has been slashed.

• As a result, foreigners across the board began stepping back from Treasury securities.

• Today foreign ownership of US debt is less than 25%, and falling. This is a significant drop in just a few years.

Why it matters:

The US Treasury relies heavily on foreign capital to fund the federal government’s gargantuan (~$2 trillion) deficits. So if foreigners’ appetite to buy US government debt is waning— at a time when federal deficits are exploding higher— where will the Treasury Department come up with the money?

There are essentially two answers. Either (1) the Federal Reserve will “print” the money, or (2) domestic investors within the US economy will buy government bonds and fund the deficit.

But both of those options come at a significant cost.

Consequences of the Fed funding US government deficits:

• In order for the Federal Reserve to buy US government bonds (and essentially fund the government’s annual budget deficit), the Fed must first expand the money supply.

• We often refer to this as “printing money” even though it all happens electronically. The Fed calls it “quantitative easing”, or QE, but it’s all the same thing.

• The consequence of QE is inflation. Serious, serious inflation.

• Think about it— during the pandemic, the Fed’s QE created roughly $5 trillion in new money... resulting in 9% inflation.

• Creating enough money to fund federal budget deficits over the next decade could result in the Fed having to print $15+ trillion. So most likely that’s going to be a LOT of inflation.

Consequences of the US economy funding government deficits:

• American investors, i.e. banks, funds, corporate treasury departments, etc. could also buy more US government bonds in order to offset waning foreign demand.

• But this capital comes at a big opportunity cost

• Any private capital that goes in to the Treasury market means less money available to buy stocks, fund venture capital, or finance real estate mortgages

• The net result is lower stock prices, higher mortgage rates, and slower innovation.

Why China is first to ditch US government bonds:

After sanctions on Russia, which included freezing their Treasury holdings, other countries got spooked — especially China.

• China probably fears becoming the next target of US financial weaponization.

• This may also be an indication that they will eventually invade Taiwan

• So China is hedging: they’re selling their US government bonds and buying literal metric tons of physical gold— driving gold prices to record highs.

The bottom line:

The shrinking foreign appetite for US debt is a glaring red flag. It signals waning confidence in US fiscal credibility and could lead to a capital squeeze at home — or nasty inflation spiral if the Fed fills the gap.

Many Americans might cheer the idea of being less reliant on Chinese or other foreign money. But in reality, foreign investment in government debt is the closest thing to a ‘free lunch’ in economics.

It means that foreigners are financing federal deficits, meaning less inflation at home, and allowing private capital to invest directly in the US economy.

Losing this benefit is a bad thing for America.

“Tidbits From TNT” Monday Morning 9-8-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani heads to Brussels: Is he sending secret political signals to NATO?

Al-Mustaqilla/- Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani headed to the Belgian capital, Brussels, today, Monday (September 8, 2025), to deliver a speech before the North Atlantic Council (NATO), at the official invitation of NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Strengthening security relations

This visit carries significant political and security implications, coming at a time when Iraq is continuing its efforts to strengthen military cooperation with international coalitions to confront security and terrorist challenges in the region.

Al-Sudani is expected to focus on Iraq's role as a strategic partner in promoting regional stability, in addition to discussing NATO's programs to train Iraqi forces and share intelligence information.

Political and regional messages

Al-Sudani's visit sends signals to both Iraq and abroad about the government's openness to international allies and its commitment to playing an active role in regional security issues. It may also aim to allay international concerns about internal alliances and the balance of power among regional powers, especially in light of the tensions surrounding the region.

Regional context

The visit comes at a sensitive time, as Iraq faces political and geopolitical challenges, including continued security threats along its borders and diplomatic issues related to its relations with neighbors and major powers. The Prime Minister's presence before the NATO Council is seen as an opportunity to affirm Iraq's ability to play a pivotal role in regional stability and review national strategies to confront common threats.

Conclusion

Al-Sudani's visit to Brussels is not merely a protocol event. It represents a political and strategic message about Iraq's drive to strengthen its relations with international allies and consolidate its role as a reliable partner in regional and international security.  link

Tishwash:  Parliamentary Finance Committee: Hosting the Ministers of Finance and Planning and the Governor of the Central Bank to ensure the disbursement of retirees' salaries.

The Parliamentary Finance Committee decided to host the Ministers of Planning and Finance, the Governor of the Central Bank, and officials of the relevant departments, in the coming days, to develop the necessary solutions to ensure the regular disbursement of retirees' salaries.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Shabli rules out the approval of the oil and gas law and holds the region responsible for the obstruction.

Member of Parliament Kazim al-Shibli ruled out the possibility of passing the oil and gas law during the current legislative session on Saturday, considering the ongoing disputes between Baghdad and Erbil over the law’s provisions and the mechanism for distributing revenues to be the main reason for the obstruction.

Al-Shabli told Al-Maalouma News Agency that “the oil and gas law is a controversial law subject to political moods, and there are no serious intentions to resolve it within parliament yet,” adding that “the region refuses to give up illegal economic gains and is obstructing the achievement of a consensus formula with the federal government.”

He explained that "the law has been postponed more than once by previous governments, and is not on the House of Representatives' agenda in the near future due to the ongoing political crisis between the central government and the region."

Al-Shabli pointed out that "the federal government needs a fair law that regulates the management and export of oil resources and ensures their equitable distribution to all governorates, without exception or monopolization."  link

Al-Sudani stressed "the need to avoid complacency in this matter, and that the committee will submit its recommendations, after completing the investigations, to the Council of Ministers to take appropriate measures in accordance with the law, ensuring support for the national economy and the protection of public funds."  link

Clare:  Integrity: Digitization and automation of state institutions are an effective weapon to combat corruption and maximize revenues.

9/7/2025

Chairman of the Federal Integrity Commission, Mohammed Ali Al-Lami, stressed on Sunday the need for state institutions to digitize and automate their procedures, noting that this would help prevent corruption and maximize the state's revenues.

Al-Lami noted, according to a statement received by Al-Eqtisad News, during his meeting with Titon Mitra, the Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Iraq

The long-standing partnership between the Commission and the Programme, praising the great cooperation shown by experts and technicians at the UNDP in the Commission’s departments’ procedures for digital transformation, including the Enterprise Management System (Laser Fiche), and the project to establish a Digital Forensics Laboratory (DFL), which seeks to support the Commission in tracking smuggled funds resulting from corruption crimes, and enhances its ability to detect corruption, fraud and money laundering, investigate these crimes and deter their perpetrators.

Militia Man   Article:  "The Minister of Communications:  We will launch e-signatures soon".  It sounds like a boring article...If you break it down and see what the impact is, it's really important that Iraq has international standards...We're talking contracts.  An e-signature means...they know this is real.  This isn't a joke...Iraq is effectively globally recognized...That's a good article.

This new e-wallet they're talking to us about is fantastic. No is great!  You see, we as individual citizens in Iraq and as a businessman we can now all pay for any item from anywhere in the world using our own dinar.  That's a first.  It's all set up.  We just need a real effective exchange rate.  FRANK:  I believe this is a vital part of the monetary reform...I believe it's also related to the collection of the 3-zero notes.  This e-wallet is allowing you to send a worthless dinar across your borders?  Like you say, now it needs a rate that others around the world want.

The 3 Digit Silver Path Just Opened—COMEX Can’t Close It Anymore | Andy Schectman

Two Dollars Investing:  9-7-2025

The silver market just crossed a point of no return—and Andy Schectman says it’s only a matter of time before triple-digit silver becomes reality.

 Here’s why: COMEX is drowning under massive short positions that no longer work.

 Physical demand is draining inventories at historic levels. Central banks and sovereign buyers are moving first while retail is asleep. This isn’t just another breakout—it’s the death spiral of the paper silver game.

Once silver rips through $40, there’s virtually no resistance until $50… and after that, the path to 3-digit silver is wide open.

If you’re still waiting for a signal, this is it. The insiders are already positioned. The question is: will you be in before the supernova begins—or will you watch it from the sidelines?

Here’s Why You Always Want to Know Your Net Worth

Here’s Why You Always Want to Know Your Net Worth, According to a Financial Expert

August 25, 2025   By  Jordan Rosenfeld

How do I calculate my net worth, and why does it matter?

If net worth sounds like something only the uber-rich have to think about, it’s time to think again. Everyone has a net worth — though some are certainly higher than others — but you might be surprised to learn that you’re worth more than you think. More importantly, your net worth is one of the clearest snapshots of your overall financial health.

Dr. Preston D. Cherry, a financial planner who calls himself “a life designer in the world of wealth,” is the founder of Concurrent Wealth Management and author of “Wealth in the Key of Life.” He explains how to calculate your net worth, why it matters more than you might realize, and how tracking it over time can help you achieve your biggest financial goals.

Do This Simple Math

Calculating your net worth doesn’t require any complicated technology or sifting through boxes of paperwork; it’s a lot simpler than people think, Cherry said. “It’s just what you own minus what you owe.” To calculate your net worth:

• Add up your assets: This includes cash, retirement and brokerage accounts, investments, your home and even business equity if you have it.

• Then subtract your liabilities: These include credit card balances, student loans, auto loans, your mortgage or any other outstanding debts.

A Snapshot of Your Financial Story

Once you calculate that number, Cherry encouraged a mindset shift: don’t think of it as a static figure, but as “a snapshot of your financial story.” In his words, “It gives you a sense of where you are and a guide to where you’re going.”

Think of your net worth as your personal financial narrative. “It tells you where you stand, how far you’ve come, and your aspirational future,” Cherry said. In other words, don’t use it to compare yourself to others, but to measure your progress against your own goals.

Tracking your net worth regularly, such as quarterly or annually, can reveal whether you’re headed in the right direction. It can also highlight blind spots, like lingering debt or underutilized savings opportunities, and bring clarity to future decision-making.

A Reflection of Your Financial Choices

Another way to think of net worth, according to Cherry, is as “a reflection of how your financial choices support your well-being.” If your net worth is on the low side, that may show up as struggling to make ends meet or falling short of your goals.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS R5 vs. Unit: The Race Toward a 2026 Currency Launch

Two competing currency concepts highlight the bloc’s ambition to reshape global finance.

R5 Gains Momentum
The R5 proposal draws its name from the five original member currencies — Real, Ruble, Rupee, Renminbi, and Rand. Designed as a basket currency weighted by economic size, China would account for roughly 40% and India about 25%. Analysts see this gradual approach as a realistic entry point, starting as a unit of account before developing into a broader monetary system.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov emphasized: “No one in the BRICS community is raising the issue of replacing the dollar.”

Gold-Backed Unit Alternative
The competing “Unit” proposal envisions a hybrid structure: 40% backed by gold, 60% tied to the BRICS currency basket. The concept was showcased with prototype banknotes at the 2024 Kazan summit, signaling serious intent. A gold-backed foundation would provide tangible value, distinguishing the Unit from traditional fiat systems.

Timeline for 2026 Launch
At the 2025 Brazil summit, leaders reported that nearly 90% of intra-BRICS trade was already settled in local currencies. With BRICS Pay expanding and blockchain systems linking central bank digital currencies, officials believe a pilot launch is achievable by 2026. Lavrov confirmed: “The project will be continued by our Brazilian successors and a pilot could appear before the end of 2026.”

Infrastructure and Challenges
BRICS Pay now connects nearly 5,000 financial institutions, providing an alternative to SWIFT and strengthening non-dollar trade. Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov stated: “We believe that creating an independent BRICS payment system is an important goal for the future, which would be based on state-of-the-art tools such as digital technologies and blockchain.”

Still, challenges remain. The bloc’s diverse economies complicate any unified policy. India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar noted: “I don’t think there’s any policy on our part to replace the dollar. The dollar as the reserve currency is the source of global economic stability.” Meanwhile, Iran and Russia push for a shared currency to reduce the impact of U.S. sanctions.

Why This Matters
The BRICS currency project — whether under the R5 or Unit name — reflects the bloc’s determination to rewire the global monetary system. Even without consensus on a final design, the push toward a 2026 launch highlights a fundamental shift: the rise of non-dollar settlements and new payment systems that could redefine international trade flows.

“Tidbits From TNT” Sunday 9-7-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Singapore is a strategic hub for Iraqi oil. SOMO: External reserves to face crises, and ExxonMobil is a key partner.

Economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi revealed on Saturday the reasons behind Iraq's choice of Singapore as a location for storing Iraqi oil. This comes after the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) announced advanced agreements with ExxonMobil to enhance storage and refining in the Asian market.

In a clarification followed by Basra 365, Al-Marsoumi said, "The anticipated agreement with ExxonMobil aims to provide storage capacity in Singapore, giving Iraqi oil exports greater flexibility to respond to any emergency, whether it be the closure of the Strait of Hormuz or natural or political circumstances that might impede the flow of oil to global markets."

He added, "Although Singapore is not a major oil producer or importer, it represents a significant international market thanks to its strategic geographic location on shipping lanes between the Mediterranean and Western Europe on the one hand, and the Far East on the other, making it home to the most important commercial ports in Southeast Asia."

Al Marsoumi pointed out that "Singapore's political stability, its open and transparent environment, its advanced judicial and legislative system, and its highly competitive financial and banking system are all factors that have contributed to making it a global hub for oil trading."

He pointed out that "the advanced technological infrastructure, logistical support, and availability of specialized administrative and technical expertise have enabled Singapore to efficiently manage oil storage and trading operations at an international level."  link

Tishwash:  The President of the Republic: It is necessary to establish a sovereign fund from oil and gas revenues, as they belong to current and future generations.

President Abdel Latif Jamal Rashid stressed on Saturday the need to establish a sovereign fund from oil and gas revenues, as they belong to current and future generations.

The Presidency of the Republic said in a statement received by ( IQ ), "President of the Republic Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid received at the Peace Palace in Baghdad a delegation of participants in the Baghdad International Energy Forum, which included the Secretary-General of OPEC, Haitham Faisal Rashid, the Minister of Oil and Gas in the Libyan Government of National Unity, Khalifa Rajab Muhammad Abdul Sadiq, the First Undersecretary of the Ministry of Production - Egyptian Ministry of Petroleum, Ihab Rajai, and the Undersecretary of the Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Ahmet Barat Chonkar, in the presence of the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Minister of Oil, Hayan Abdul Ghani ."

He added, "At the beginning of the meeting, the President welcomed the delegation and pointed out Iraq's keenness to advance the national  energy sector and its efforts to enhance constructive partnerships with its regional and international surroundings in a way that serves the aspirations of peoples for progress and stability 

The President of the Republic explained, according to the statement, that "Iraq, based on its strategic location and diverse wealth, is capable of investing in available natural resources and adopting sustainable solutions, in addition to its role as a pivotal partner in the transition to a green economy and the move towards the use of renewable energy ."

Rashid pointed out that "Iraq is experiencing a state of security and stability after decades of war, terrorism, and the problems the country has been suffering from," emphasizing "the importance of investing in the oil sector, as this phase represents the beginning of real investment, and the necessity of establishing a sovereign fund from oil and gas revenues, as they belong to current and future generations. 

He stressed that "holding the forum is a promising step to highlight Iraq's pioneering role in the energy sector," noting that "success in this field will contribute to formulating new visions for energy policies and expand the horizons of cooperation with international companies to invest in the Iraqi market." He wished the Baghdad Forum success, and the participants good luck in reaching decisions that serve the development of the energy sector, achieve national interests, and meet the aspirations of the people .

In turn, the delegation members expressed, according to the statement, "their sincere desire to deepen the positive relationship with Iraq to include all sectors ."  link

Tishwash:  Economist: Storing Iraqi oil in the Sultanate of Oman is a strategic project to expand export outlets.

Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi confirmed that the signing of two memoranda of understanding between Iraq and the Sultanate of Oman to develop a crude oil storage project in the Ras Markaz area of ​​Oman represents an “important strategic step” toward expanding Iraqi oil exports to global markets, particularly in Asia.

Al-Marsoumi explained in a blog post followed by Al-Mada that the project, which begins with an initial capacity of up to 10 million barrels, subject to expansion, provides Iraq with greater flexibility in the face of potential disruptions at Basra ports, whether due to climatic conditions or crises in the Strait of Hormuz. He pointed out that the Sultanate of Oman, in turn, seeks to transform the Duqm area into a regional center for storing and re-exporting oil, with a total capacity that will eventually reach 200 million barrels.

He added that Iraq's plans are not limited to storage in Oman alone, but also include the construction of oil tanks and refineries in Southeast Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, which would contribute to diversifying export outlets and opening new markets in Africa and Europe, in addition to strengthening its presence in the Asian market.

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that the project has a strategic dimension for Iraq, but it requires a careful study to calculate the investment costs and storage fees in Amman's warehouses, while assessing the possibility of doubling Iraq's storage capacity there, to ensure economic feasibility that matches the geopolitical dimension the project provides.  link
