Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday Evening 9-17-25

Rehabilitation Is The Cornerstone Of Reform

Economic 09/18/2025  Yasser Al-Mutawali   Amidst the reform efforts undertaken by banks, and after overcoming the obstacles of capital and timeframes that represented the primary concern, a more fundamental and profound need emerges, one that penetrates the very core of daily banking operations: human resources.

No matter how robust the reform document prepared by a global company specializing in the clarity of its objectives, and no matter how precise the laws and regulations, the ability of institutions to implement them remains dependent on the human capacity that will bear these burdens and translate them into a tangible reality.

Hence, it becomes imperative to enroll banking personnel at all levels, including senior bank management, in specialized training courses. This is a strategic necessity no less important than raising capital, and indeed, it is the sole guarantee of capital sustainability and growth.

A reform document aimed at enabling Iraqi banks to keep pace with changes and operate in accordance with practices in developed countries, as I mentioned, necessarily requires a staff that understands the philosophy of these changes and masters the tools used in those countries.

A bank cannot, for example, implement the Basel standards, manage its risks in a modern manner, or keep pace with the financial technology revolution with staff that have not received adequate training in these concepts, which were not even present in the old academic curricula.

Therefore, attention must be focused on the Iraqi Private Banks Association's training center, which should spearhead this developmental endeavor. This center's role should not be limited to isolated basic courses, but rather should launch an ambitious and comprehensive program that rehabilitates the banking industry from its roots. This program should include: 

First: Specialized courses in modern banking management, focusing on governance, financial and operational risk management, compliance with international and local central bank requirements, contemporary banking marketing strategies, and customer relationship management in the digital age.

Second: Workshops on digital transformations to explain the importance of shifting from traditional banking to e-banking, how to manage the digital transformation process, and how to secure digital channels and user experience, thus bridging the digital gap between Iraqi banks and their global counterparts.

Third: Intensive programs to teach AI technologies and their banking applications.

This is the core of the challenge and the opportunity. Staff must learn how to use AI to analyze big data to assess customer creditworthiness, how it works in combating financial fraud, and how it can contribute to the development of customized financial products and process automation to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Investing time and money in building modern skills for banking sector workers is an investment to ensure the success of any reform document, now and in the future.

It is the guarantee against the double-digit losses that experts have warned against, because a qualified staff is the one who will avoid costly mistakes, face changes with confidence, and ensure that reform is real and fundamental, not merely superficial and based on paper.

The upcoming challenge is not just financial or legal, but primarily educational, technical, and human. Neglecting this aspect will render any achievement in terms of capital or laws fragile.

Therefore, the moral and professional responsibility we bear compels us all to demand that the training and qualification of human resources be the primary focus of the next phase of the reform journey, so that the project is completed and bears the desired fruits for the country's economy.

If there is one word that must be said, it is that the Association and its center have the ability to attract highly qualified training competencies with proven experience.   https://alsabaah.iq/120743-.html

Central Bank: 5.6 Million Cards For State Employees
 
September 17, 2025   Baghdad/Iraq Observer    The Central Bank of Iraq revealed on Wednesday that the  number of employee cards with domiciled salaries has   reached approximately 5.6 million cards.
 
Adnan Asaad, Director General of the  Information Technology and Payments Department   at the Central Bank of Iraq, said,
 
“The number of domiciled employee cards has  reached approximately 5.6 million cards,” indicating that “the volume of government electronic collections via points of sale so far has reached more than 6.8 trillion dinars in the  first eight months of this year,” expecting that  “it will exceed 10 trillion dinars by the end of this year, while   last year it amounted to approximately 9 trillion dinars.” 

 He explained that "the total government e-collection through various payment instruments  amounted to approximately 2.1 trillion dinars, while  last year it amounted to approximately 322 billion dinars," noting that "49 ministries and agencies have  approved the deployment of e-payment instruments  in more than 6,600 formations," according to the government-owned Al-Sabah newspaper.        https://observeriraq.net/البنك-المركزي-5-6-ملايين-بطاقة-لموظفي-ال/  

Associated Gas: A Qualitative Leap In Iraq's Economic Capabilities

Economic  09/18/2025   Baghdad: Morning  The Ministry of Oil's announcement of the production of 220 million standard cubic feet per day of associated gas from the West Qurna field is of great importance as it is part of the government's efforts to reduce waste from this important resource and provide clean energy for power plants and factories. The expansion of the West Qurna field will provide electricity production with 250 megawatts by 2027.

Furthermore, reducing and eventually halting flaring will support self-sufficiency, contribute to increasing job opportunities, developing infrastructure, and reducing the negative environmental impacts of flaring.  

In a picture confirming the government's insistence on fully exploiting energy resources, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani sponsored, last Sunday, the signing ceremony of contracts for the implementation of several major projects within the "Integrated Gas Development Project" (GGIP) in the Artawi field in Basra Governorate, which includes the production of oil, gas and clean energy.

The Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) was signed between the Ministry of Oil, the French company Total, the Basra Oil Company and Qatar Gas Company, in the presence of the Qatari Minister of Energy Saad bin Sherida al-Kaabi, the CEO of the French company TotalEnergies Patrick Pouyanné, the Chairman of the Board of the Turkish company Enka Mehmet Tara, the Vice President of the Chinese company (CPECC) Liu Kai, and the Chief Operating Officer of the Korean company Hyundai Ryu Sunga, in the presence of the Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and the Minister of Oil.

Meanwhile, Hatem Abdul Imam, Director of the West Qurna 2 Development Authority at the Basra Oil Company, affiliated with the Ministry of Oil, said in a statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA):

“The current production of associated gas from the Mushrif reservoir is approximately 220 million standard cubic feet per day, of which 180 million cubic feet are supplied to Total as part of its contractual obligations, while the remainder is used to operate the field’s internal facilities.”

This achievement is a significant economic factor, according to several experts, who commended the government's efforts to exploit natural resources. Industrial development expert Amer Al-Jawahiri emphasized this, explaining that "investment in gas has clear positive effects on the economic and investment sectors in particular, especially since the business environment in Iraq has become attractive to global investment companies."

Al-Jawahiri added, in an interview with Al-Sabah, that “reaching actual implementation of gas investment, after years of delay, is extremely important, and we will actually achieve full gas investment in Iraq within a few years. He indicated that this would have major financial benefits for the country, in addition to its positive environmental impact.”

System Stability

Al-Jawahiri pointed out that this approach will achieve stability in the electricity system by providing the necessary quantities of gas to operate the stations. It will also support the country's treasury by reducing expenditures on importing gas from outside Iraq. He noted that gas investment enhances Iraq's financial revenues, especially given the political will to maximize the benefits of all resources.

Integrated Development Project

For his part, economic expert Asaad Al-Rubaie considered investment in associated gas a project of paramount importance to the economy, given that it is a rentier economy that relies primarily on oil as a source of support for the federal budget.

He explained that it is an integrated development project that links gas investment, reducing its imports, providing electricity, supporting the industrial sector, and providing huge sums to the state's public treasury.

Associated Gas Investment

Al-Rubaie told Al-Sabah: “Investing in associated gas is almost the only project that has multiple benefits associated with it. From a financial perspective, it will save us billions of dollars that were spent on importing gas from abroad, and it will also enable us to manufacture, sell and export it abroad.

 He pointed out that this process will support revenues and provide hard currency, and this money will be directed towards development plans to support other sectors.

In addition, it will increase Iraq’s capacity to produce electricity and dispense with importing it to feed gas stations.

Providing Job Opportunities

The spokesman explained that the stability of the electrical power supply is the cornerstone of any industrial project that relies on modern mechanization, which will increase the chances of establishing various projects that will support the general budget, diversify sources of income and provide many job opportunities for young people.

He pointed out that Iraq is one of the countries that signed the Paris Climate Agreement in 2015, and this investment will reduce the quantities of gas flaring that have greatly harmed the environment.

This is in compliance with this agreement and an improvement of Iraq’s image in international forums in the environmental field, and opens the doors to investment in energy. 

Green.

Stop Gas Flaring

Al-Rubaie continued, saying that stopping the flaring of gas will pave the way for the launch of transformational and strategic industries in the future, such as petrochemical plants, fertilizers, plastics and synthetic rubber industries, adding that investing in associated gas has many other economic benefits and impacts that are attributed to the direction of the current government headed by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, which has begun investment operations for associated gas and signed a number of agreements with various international companies to stop the waste of wealth. The country. https://alsabaah.iq/120742-.html

Fed Rate Cut: How It Affects Your Bank Accounts, Loans, Credit Cards, And Investments

Fed Rate Cut: How It Affects Your Bank Accounts, Loans, Credit Cards, And Investments

Hal Bundrick, CFP®  Yahoo Personal Finance   September 17, 2025

Finally. The Federal Reserve delivered a long-awaited quarter-point rate cut on Sept. 17.

Wall Street expects two more rate cuts at both of the Fed's next meetings before the end of the year.

Here's how the long-running interest rate pause has impacted deposits, credit, and debt so far. And what a rate cut could do for — or to — your money.

How a Fed rate cut affects checking and savings accounts

2025 has been a year of modest earnings on deposit accounts. A rate cut won't help.

Checking accounts

Your checking account is a money-in-motion machine. The convenience of liquidity limits your earning power.

The national average of interest paid on checking accounts has barely budged much this year and remains at 0.07%. Imagine that moving even lower. Is it possible? Yes.

Savings accounts

Interest rates on savings accounts are only marginally better and are up a fraction to 0.40%. But savings accounts are for near-term money.

High-yield savings accounts have been more effective interest payers. Rates are still barely clinging to 4%, with some financial providers slightly above or below that.

This is one category where rate shopping really pays off. Especially as interest rates move lower.

Money market accounts

If you have $10,000 or more that you want to keep on the sidelines but are ready to put in play, money market accounts have been convenient — but low-paying. National average payouts remain at 0.59%.

A better option might be a high-yield money market account, where interest rates are still near or a little better than 4%.

What a rate cut does to CDs

CD rates have crept slightly higher in the last month or so. A 12-month CD is averaging 1.70%, but you can find better deals if you're willing to take the time to hunt them down — and move your money online.

Your minimum deposit and term will affect your rate.

What a rate cut will mean for mortgages and personal loans

Home mortgages

Global Debt Crisis Erupts Threatening Massive US Selloff

Global Debt Crisis Erupts Threatening Massive US Selloff

Taylor Kenny:  9-16-2025

Something profound is stirring in the global financial markets, and it’s not just another economic blip. We’re witnessing a transformative shift in the global bond market – one that could fundamentally reset our monetary system and deeply impact the value of the US dollar, along with your financial future.

This isn’t just financial jargon; it’s a looming reality that affects everything from your mortgage rates to the stability of your savings.

Across the globe, from Washington D.C. to Tokyo, long-term government bond yields are climbing. This isn’t isolated to one region; it’s a synchronized movement signifying serious economic consequences beyond routine market fluctuations.

Higher yields mean higher borrowing costs for governments, businesses, and ultimately, you. Think elevated mortgage rates, pricier credit cards, and increased business credit costs, all of which can dampen economic growth and stock market valuations.

A key driver of this seismic shift stems from an unexpected corner: Japan. For decades, Japan maintained ultra-low bond yields through aggressive bond-buying and “yield curve control” policies. But that era is ending. Japan is retreating from these policies, causing its bond yields to rapidly soar to levels not seen since the 1990s.

Why does Japan matter so much? Because Japan is the largest foreign holder of US debt. As Japanese bond yields rise, the narrowing gap between their bonds and US Treasuries makes US debt less attractive for Japanese investors.

This threatens the crucial demand for US Treasuries, potentially forcing Japanese investors to pull funds from US debt holdings. The implications for the US dollar and its stability are immense.

A desperate US government might then pressure the Federal Reserve to intervene by buying government debt, a move historically associated with sparking severe inflation.

We’ve already seen a preview of this fragility. The 2024 yen carry trade unwind, where investors rapidly reversed positions in yen-funded, higher-yielding assets, caused a sharp sell-off in US assets and significant volatility in Treasury yields. It was a stark warning of the interconnectedness and vulnerability of our current system.

Despite central banks hinting at potential rate cuts due to weakening labor markets, inflation continues to accelerate. This creates a contradictory and dangerous economic environment prone to stagflation – a toxic combination of stagnant growth, high inflation, and rising unemployment, eerily reminiscent of the challenging 1970s.

The current behavior of the bond market, where yields rise despite central bank efforts to keep them down, signals a “broken illusion” and a fundamental structural reset in the global financial system. The old rules are breaking down, and a new financial era is dawning.

Silver Shortage Alert: Bullion Bank Crisis | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  9-16-2025

Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin, joins Liberty and Finance for a critical weekly market.

 With silver up 43% this year and lease rates in London spiking to record highs, he warns that bullion banks face mounting pressure and potential delivery defaults.

Andy explains how silver’s status as a Giffen good, combined with shrinking liquidity and surging industrial demand, sets the stage for a severe shortage.

He also highlights how gold is massively outperforming equities—even during the AI stock boom—as central banks and insiders quietly accumulate.

Together, Andy and Dunagun Kaiser expose how mainstream media ignores the biggest wealth transfer of our time, leaving most investors dangerously unprepared.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 9-16-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 9-16-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps  (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody. big call tonight. it is tuesday, september sixteenth, and you're listening to the big call. thanks for coming in, everybody, wherever you're located around this globe. and thank you, Sat Team for getting the signal out all over place  -

I'm going to transition into, or segue into Intel now. But I want to start you guys know, I'm a big fan of good night formula  - a boomers product called Good night formula, and I really love it. I take it every night now. It does help you to dream. It seems that it just allows you to have more. I know my dreams are very colorful, and I love that. And I'm going to tell you about one dream I had two nights ago, which would have been what Sunday night?

Yep, Sunday night I had a dream. And this is interesting, because it was a dream where I was handed a sheet of paper, like an 8 1/2 by 11, sheet of paper with all these Spanish words on it. It was all Spanish, and it was all larger words, not little tiny, you know, whatever yo quiero Taco Bell.

 It wasn't anything like that. It was like major long words. And I looked over that sheet in my dream and looked over it, and then I focused in on a word that was Agra de serremos, Agra de ser Amos, Ara de serremos nosotros, agradecer Amos, which means we shall be thankful for --  whatever we shall be thankful.

 And I just thought that was such an interesting word for me to focus in on and remember, and having seen it written out, and knowing what the meaning is for the word, which I do, and then see it, and then remember it. And I just wanted to say that to you guys tonight, we shall be thankful.

Now we're already thankful, but it sounds like really be thankful. I took it to mean after this goes and after we all get started working in our projects and getting into med beds and all that, we shall be thankful.

 So I'm thankful now to be able to tell you, I think  the Charlie Kirk  execution, if you will, of Charlie Kirk was something that has definitely been on the minds of the Trump administration. I know it to the point where I think things pause for a few days   Now they may be going on behind the scenes.

Everything's still moving forward, and I have reasons to believe that, but I think we got slowed a little bit as a result of that. President Trump, as you guys know, flew out this morning to Great Britain to be there for three days, which is Wednesday through Friday. He got in this afternoon. You know, tonight in Great Britain,

He's also meeting over there with President Putin, who's going to come meet with him probably Friday, and also with the Netanyahu. So he's going to work out details with the UK and revisit their tariffs and trade programs that they established. And maybe alter it. Maybe not. We'll see

President Trump is the king deal maker, but whenever he comes out, that's one what he's doing over there. So he'll be working with the family on who else is over there in England, on Wednesday, Thursday and then Friday. And I think he'll come back either Friday night, probably they'll leave and fly back

And I know Sunday that there is a memorial service in the Glendale stadium in Glendale, Arizona for Charlie Kirk that I don't know how many people it holds, but I have a feeling it'll be packed out like the gates open at eight in the morning and the service at 11. That would be Pacific time. 

 So that's that's  what is going on there - and there's a lot of behind the scenes stuff too that's happening. But I can tell you that there are bond holders that started coming into Reno this morning at early, early O dark 30 type hours, and will go in for the next five days, including today, to Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, should be done by around 5pm Saturday.

 Now, what are they doing? They're going back in with their bonds. They're being re vetted, and the people are being checked out to make sure they are the legitimate bond holders and so on. They haven't tried to do any alterations or facial alterations, or any of that stuff. Okay? And that's going on now.

Now,   what does this say for us, the bond holders are transacting in Reno doesn't say when they're going to receive their funds. Doesn't say when they're going to get the green light to spend. What funds are going to be in our accounts. We have heard from other sources that we should be looking at this week from anytime, from Wednesday, tomorrow, Wednesday through Sunday, as the times we should get our notifications.

I don't know if we're going to start this week or not, but one source did say, I don't see how we can get out of this week without exchanging.   Well, that's one source. That's his viewpoint or opinion based on the information he has. And all of these sources are pretty much connect, well connected. They're good sources. But who knows?

Maybe we'll get out of the week with exchanges starting, or maybe we won't. But I like the fact that we had a window, which was initially Tuesday, Wednesday, but if not by Wednesday, which is tomorrow, if not by Wednesday, then the weekend. That's all right, okay, all right.

 Let's see what happens today and tomorrow, then and then that got expanded with the same source, expanded to Wednesday to Sunday. So anytime within this week is looking looking very good.

Another couple of sources said it would be this month between the 15th, which was yesterday, and the end of the month. So that's approximately two or two more weeks.

Several said thanks a lot for that, and they said, and two different sources gave us that same timeline, 15 to the end of the month, but they both said they didn't think it was going to go that far into the end of the month. In other words, it would be more likely to be happening this week than after this week.

I thought, all right, that's good, I guess. Okay. No guys, we do get information from several different sources, and we boil it on down, and I try to consolidate it verify. It, vet it out, and then present it to you, as I'm getting it pretty much Tuesday and Thursday nights with very little alteration in it.

I think we're at the point where we can look forward to whenever it does come in. You have to be ready for it. Be prepared for it. You need to be prepared to get into the med beds when they become available after the exchange.

All right, otherwise guys, I think  the other, the only other thing I did hear from a redemption center leader  that  said that he received information Saying that NESARA and GESARA  would begin on Wednesday, October 1. Okay, that's good. I think that's that's great  when that happens. That's when it happens.

But remember to get GESARA  underway we have to  have peace between Russia and Ukraine, primarily  - that’s the big hotspots. Needs to calm down -  I understand from my sources that there is a peace treaty, a peace deal, in place, but it hasn't been announced yet. But I think they have it. They just need to enforce it. If they do that would allow the NESARA and GESARA to kick off. And maybe it is October 1.

Maybe that is the day for it to start, but I think that it's going to be to see what happens the rest of this week and see if any, if we get anything, but see what happens after that.

So that's what I wanted to share with you guys tonight. I appreciate you. Thank you for everything, and I'd like everybody to continue to stay in prayer for Charlie Kirk's widow, you know, his wife and his two kids and the organization, turning point USA as we are at a Turning Point now,

Alright, let's pray the call out, you guys, thank you again. Let's see what happens between now and Thursday. We can give you an accurate update if you don't have this by Thursday,   Let's see what happens, and look forward to talking with you on Thursday. All right, so God bless Good night.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Afternoon 9-17-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Members Russia & India Continue Oil Deals Despite Sanctions

Energy trade exposes the limits of U.S. sanctions and highlights the financial restructuring already underway.

BRICS Oil Remains in the Limelight
Russia and India, both BRICS members, are continuing oil deals despite U.S. sanctions and direct pressure from President Trump. According to British analytics firm Vortexa, Russian crude will remain a key part of India’s import basket because it is simply too competitive to ignore.

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

“Despite tightening fleet dynamics and Western pressure, Russian supply is too significant and competitively priced for India and China,” Vortexa analysts wrote.

This demonstrates a fundamental truth: political sanctions can set the tone, but economics and financial systems determine the outcomes. Energy trade has become one of the clearest arenas where de-dollarization is not just talked about, but actively practiced.

Settlements Outside the Dollar
Russia’s energy sales to India and China are increasingly settled in yuan, rubles, and even rupees — not in U.S. dollars. This bypass of dollar-denominated oil markets is a direct example of global finance restructuring in real time.

• China pays in yuan through its expanding trade settlement system.

• India experiments with ruble and rupee arrangements to secure supplies.

• Russia gains strategic advantage by pricing outside the U.S. financial network.

This is not just politics; it’s a rewiring of how the world pays for energy — the backbone of the global economy.

Western Pressure Meets Economic Reality
The U.S. and its allies argue that buying Russian oil supports the conflict in Ukraine. Sanctions and threats are designed to choke off Russia’s revenues. Yet, as Vortexa notes, India and China cannot afford to cut ties when Russian oil is priced below global market levels.

This clash illustrates the tagline point: the structure of trade and settlement is shifting beneath the surface, weakening the dollar’s central role and empowering alternative systems.

Why This Matters
Energy is the foundation of global finance. If BRICS members normalize oil trade outside the dollar — whether in yuan, rubles, or rupees — it accelerates the broader de-dollarization trend. The White House may try to enforce sanctions, but the balance of power is moving.

This shift in oil trade shows that sanctions are no longer a guarantee of compliance. Instead, they are hastening the diversification of global finance and exposing the limits of U.S. influence.

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

Ariel (@Prolotario1): The Iraqi E-Card Activation, the Precipice is here

9-17-2025: 

The Iraqi E-Card Activation: Gearing Up For The Big Stage (The Precipice Is Here)

Unpacking the Trade Bank of Iraq’s E-Card Activation: A Game-Changer for Global Connectivity

Get In Here Guys (You Are Going To Love This)

Yes, this e-card service from the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) is indeed international in scope it’s built around Visa Classic and Visa Gold cards, which plug directly into global payment networks like Visa’s ecosystem for seamless cross-border use.

Starting September 16, 2025, in Baghdad, it delivers these cards straight to customers with built-in security features, free issuance tied to new accounts, and real-time activation to cut out the old-school hassles of physical pickups.

Where Is This Going?

What makes this monumental isn’t just the convenience it’s the quiet revolution it sparks for Iraq’s economy, especially as the country edges toward full international waters.

Think about it: With over 10 million active bank cards already in circulation and digital transactions topping $11.5 billion this year, this rollout supercharges financial inclusion by letting everyday Iraqis tap into global spending without borders.

No more relying on cash or dodgy exchanges; now, remittances, online purchases, and even salary deposits flow digitally, aligning with the Central Bank’s “Al-Samawal” push that’s been ramping up since early September to weave everyone into the modern financial fabric.

Tying this back to the oil momentum we covered the SOMO readiness to market Kurdistan crude globally, the KRG handover locking in those steady USD streams, and the fresh leadership at the Iraq Stock Exchange this e-card activation is the missing link that turns raw revenue into everyday power.

 Those billions from exports? They need a reliable way to cycle back home without friction, and Visa-enabled cards make that happen instantly, hedging against rate volatility while prepping the Dinar for Forex spotlight.

It’s like upgrading from a leaky bucket to a high-pressure hose: Iraq’s not just exporting oil anymore; it’s exporting stability, drawing in investors who see a digitally savvy market ready for prime time.

In short, this isn’t a footnote it’s the infrastructure that makes Iraq’s revaluation story credible and the global pivot inevitable.

 If you’re holding Dinars or eyeing the market, this is your signal to watch closely; the pieces are snapping together faster than expected.

Mnt Goat   Article:   “IRAQI BANKS ASSOCIATION: THE REFORM PLAN HAS REACHED ITS FINAL FORM AND WILL INCLUDE ALL PRIVATE BANKS.”  They are telling us today they are in the LAST PHASE of the process of banking reforms, now  it comes down to ‘uniformity” between all banks in the banking system. If you don’t conform you will not be banking in Iraq...They can not risk more corruption once the currency in normalized and goes viral... We all should celebrate. What a relief it was to finally hear such good news...they really needed this too for the rollout of the reinstatement. 

Nader From The Mid East   They're trying to get away from the oil revenue. They want to make the oil revenue extra money coming in.  They're working on a lot of things on a private sector to make it strong...and make sure the stability of the economy doesn't depend on the oil revenue because oil go up and down and sometime they lose money in the oil when it goes down especially when they have a budget that's $70 a barrel.  The oil goes to $60 or $50 they start losing money.

"$200 Silver Is VERY ATTAINABLE In A Rush - and We Are In One"

Mike Maloney:  9-16-2025

Is $200 silver really on the table—soon?

 In this episode, Mike Maloney explains why he believes we’re in one of those rare moments when gold acts as both insurance and the top-performing asset, and why silver is still massively undervalued.

Together with Alan Hibbard, they break down:

Why stricter inflation math points to triple-digit silver potential

The demand shock vs. limited new supply (18× more buyers, 55× more currency, ~2× more gold)

How rate-cut cycles and negative real yields historically supercharge gold (and pull silver with it)

Why China’s buying spree and import rule changes matter now

The case for physical metal with no counter-party risk vs. “yield on gold” schemes

0:00 Silver’s catch-up math: why $200 isn’t crazy

1:30 “Safe haven” and biggest-gains asset: gold’s rare window

4:40 1980 vs. today: more buyers, more currency, scarce metal

 9:45 Rates, CPI vs. “CP-lie,” and why real yields are key Glasp

16:35 China’s role: imports, inventories, and price impact

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Wednesday morning and blessings to everyone.

Member: Really hoping Mark has good news today …​​I am hearing alot of chatter about this week

MZ:  A very slow news day as the markets eye the FED rate meeting. This is one of the quietest RV news days I’ve seen in quite awhile.

Member: Do you think we are going this week Mark?

MZ: I don’t know – but do I expect some major bond movement this week?  Yes I do

Member: Lots of good news out of Iraq!

Member: Mark,…You have said when the HCL law is signed into law we go within a few days? Or when oil starts flowing? Or are they so close it’s the same?

MZ: oil flowing is a sign that they are about sign the rest of the HCL because its necessary for profit sharing and revenue.

MZ: “ Today: Salaries, non-oil revenues and oil exports on the table of the Kurdistan Government” This is important as its part of the HCL. (Hydro Carbon Law) There is a major push to finish these files this week. There are big meetings going on right now.

Member: Why do we continue to follow Iraq?

MZ: It’s the easiest to track right now. It’s only a cog in this reset…..it’s not the cornerstone …..but watching Iraq helps us track timing better. That is why we do it.

MZ: “Customs: Recovering 5 billion dinar s and depositing them in the state treasury” this is part of the White Paper Reforms so they can lift their value.

Member: I read that Iraq was accepted into the BIS Bank of International Settlements?

MZ: That’s another big piece…along with ascension in the World Trade Organization where they have finished all the paperwork and we are just waiting on announcements. …..Its only a matter of time before they announce it.

e: I hear Vietnam has the green light to go.

MZ: I am sure they the green light to go in the reset.  

Member:  I wonder -Would iraq ever be left behind since other countries are ready to revalue and Iraq seems to be dragging their feet

Member: I have asked this question before - who is in charge of activating the global reset - which I assume that the RV is part of ? Thanks

Member: Any Significance To September 30 / October 1 Being A New Fiscal Year?

Member: I think that is a significant date……IMO  Its logical to start new rates at the new Fiscal year which starts Oct. 1

MZ: It would certainly be the easiest time to do it. I have a number of financial contacts who believe that is our timing ….It makes logical common sense.

 MZ: Jon Dowling and I just did a podcast that we recorded yesterday . I want to share that link for you folks   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHLsNpyjBb8

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Morning 9-17-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

U.S. House Reattaches Anti-CBDC Bill to CLARITY Act Ahead of Senate Review

Lawmakers push to block a Federal Reserve digital dollar by embedding anti-CBDC language into the broader crypto market structure bill.

What’s Happening Now
The U.S. House has reattached provisions from the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act (H.R. 1919) to the CLARITY Act (H.R. 3633) before sending it to the Senate for review. The move combines two major pieces of legislation:

• The CLARITY Act: Seeks to establish a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, defining oversight responsibilities between the SEC and CFTC.

• The Anti-CBDC Act: Prohibits the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) to individuals or creating retail Fed accounts.

By embedding the CBDC ban inside the broader, more likely-to-pass CLARITY Act, lawmakers are raising the odds that these restrictions make it through Senate negotiations.

Implications for CBDC Development
If enacted, the anti-CBDC provisions would create legal barriers to a digital dollar. The Federal Reserve would face restrictions on directly offering digital currency to the public, severely limiting potential CBDC designs. Any future attempt would either require new exemptions (such as for national security) or a significantly scaled-back version of a digital dollar.

Regulatory Clarity for Crypto
The CLARITY Act itself provides long-sought regulatory boundaries by clarifying which federal agencies have authority over crypto assets and intermediaries. For crypto firms, exchanges, and stablecoin issuers, this could reduce compliance ambiguity. However, the attachment of anti-CBDC language adds political complexity — potentially alienating moderate senators or prompting efforts to dilute the ban.

Bigger Picture: Structural Finance at Stake
This legislation is not just about crypto — it’s about the future control of money and digital infrastructure. Several dynamics stand out:

• Monetary Sovereignty vs. Surveillance: Whether the state has direct power over citizens’ wallets.

• Agency Authority: Defining long-term jurisdiction between SEC, CFTC, Treasury, and the Fed.

• Global Competition: With China, the EU, and dozens of nations advancing CBDCs, U.S. hesitation reshapes the competitive landscape for payments and standards.

• Privacy vs. Innovation: Balancing innovation in fintech with civil liberties and systemic risk.

What to Watch Next

• Senate Banking Committee’s stance: whether they keep or strip the anti-CBDC provisions.

• White House position: a veto or amendment could reshape the bill.

• Fed and Treasury response: whether they pause or adapt internal CBDC research.

• International pressure: how U.S. caution contrasts with global CBDC adoption trends.

Why This Matters
The House’s decision to pair a ban on CBDCs with a framework for digital asset regulation signals a deeper fight over who controls the future of money. Beyond politics, this is about the architecture of the U.S. and global financial system — how money is issued, who regulates it, and what privacy rights survive in the digital era.

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

De-Dollarization Reaches Critical Phase: China’s Yuan Adoption for Cross-Border Flows Tops 50%

China’s yuan surpasses the halfway mark in cross-border trade flows, marking a milestone in global de-dollarization.

Milestone in De-Dollarization
China’s efforts to internationalize the yuan have reached a new benchmark: over 50% of national cross-border flows are now settled in yuan, according to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. This represents a doubling of yuan usage since 2022 and underscores how China is accelerating the global shift away from dollar reliance.

While the yuan still represents less than 4% of all international trade, the momentum is undeniable. Analysts note that yuan usage is boosted by China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) — its domestic alternative to SWIFT — which may even undercount true flows.

Why It’s More Than Politics
The yuan crossing 50% of China’s cross-border settlement flows shows a structural financial shift, not just a political talking point. It’s about real-world changes in how nations trade and settle debts. Politics may set the tone — sanctions, tariffs, or foreign policy uncertainty under Trump — but the deeper effect is a weakening reliance on the U.S. dollar and a growing acceptance of alternatives like the yuan.

Proof of Global Finance Restructuring
The shift is visible across multiple fronts:

• Yuan Adoption Milestone: Over 50% of Chinese cross-border flows now settled in yuan.

• SWIFT Alternative (CIPS): China’s settlement system bypasses Western financial choke points.

• Sovereign Debt in Yuan: Hungary issued $5B in panda bonds; Russia and Brazil preparing yuan-based debt.

• Reserves Shift: China cut U.S. Treasuries to a 16-year low while increasing gold purchases for 10 straight months.

These aren’t just political maneuvers; they are structural financial realignments in trade, debt, and reserves — exactly what a global reset looks like.

Implications for De-Dollarization
The U.S. dollar remains dominant, but its share is eroding at the edges. The yuan, though still under 4% of global trade, has doubled its footprint since 2022. Geopolitical pressures like sanctions and trade wars are accelerating the trend, forcing nations to transact in national or alternative currencies.

Through the Seeds of Wisdom lens, this is clear: while some frame de-dollarization as “just political fights,” in reality, the underlying economic architecture is being restructured — trade, reserves, debt, and payments.

Why This Matters
The yuan’s rise to more than half of China’s cross-border flows is more than just a trade statistic — it’s the clearest proof yet of systemic de-dollarization in action. With new debt markets, alternative payment rails, and shifting reserves, the world’s financial foundation is being remade step by step.

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

France Targets EU-Licensed Crypto Firms, Malta Opposes Centralized Oversight

EU divisions over crypto oversight highlight deeper struggles in building a unified financial system.

France Pushes for Stronger EU Crypto Oversight
France is weighing blocking crypto firms licensed in other EU countries from operating domestically, a sharp response to concerns about uneven enforcement under the EU’s new MiCA framework.

MiCA, which allows firms licensed in one member state to “passport” services across the entire EU, has exposed cracks in the system. France’s financial regulator, the AMF, argues some firms are exploiting lenient licensing regimes to bypass stricter oversight elsewhere.

France has joined Italy and Austria in calling for the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to directly supervise major crypto firms, effectively centralizing oversight at the EU level.

AMF President Marie-Anne Barbat-Layani warned: “We do not exclude the possibility of refusing the EU passport. It’s very complex legally and not a very good signal for the single market – it’s a bit like the ‘atomic weapon’ but it’s still a possibility we hold in reserve.”

Push for ESMA Control
Supporters of ESMA oversight argue that national regulators are supervising crypto markets differently, creating inconsistencies that could harm investors. France, Italy, and Austria want direct EU supervision, stronger rules for firms outside the bloc, and tighter controls on token offerings and cybersecurity.

Malta Pushes Back
Not all member states agree. Malta, long considered an “early adopter” of digital asset regulation, opposes giving ESMA sweeping control. Its regulator, the MFSA, warned that full centralization could add bureaucracy and stifle efficiency just as Europe is competing globally in digital finance.

Earlier this year, Malta faced criticism after an ESMA review found weaknesses in its licensing process, but the country maintains that local regulators can act quickly and effectively without ceding all authority to Brussels.

Why This Matters
This fight goes far beyond a regulatory turf war. The EU is attempting to balance sovereignty, efficiency, and investor protection in a financial system where money now flows digitally across borders. France’s hardline stance, Malta’s resistance, and ESMA’s growing role are signs that the rules of global finance are being rewritten through regulation.

For the EU, how this dispute is resolved will shape whether Europe’s digital economy speaks with one unified voice or remains fragmented — a question that affects its competitiveness against the U.S. and China.

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

This Single Thing Is The Biggest Warning You're Being Scammed

This Single Thing Is The Biggest Warning You're Being Scammed, And It's Information We All Need

Noah Michelson  Tue, September 16, 2025 BuzzFeed

Financial scams have exploded in recent years, and it’s not just banks and corporations getting screwed out of big bucks. U.S. consumers lost more than $10 billion to fraud in 2023 — more than any previous year, and a 14% increase from 2022 — and all signs point to even larger losses in 2024.

So how do we protect ourselves from bad actors who want to steal our money and our identities?

That’s what we — Raj Punjabi and Noah Michelson, the hosts of HuffPost’s Am I Doing It Wrong? podcast ― asked Jeremiah Baker, a cybersecurity specialist who has spent the last 17 years growing a firm that hacks into its clients’ networks and web applications to identify the weaknesses in their online defenses and fortify them against future attacks.

Baker told us the biggest red flag that we might be getting scammed is someone asking for personal information, especially if they’re doing so with a heightened level of emotion or urgency.

“Your bank’s never going to call you and...  ask you for your username and password, or any kind of identifiable information,” he said. “It’s usually a tee-up of someone asking you for something... an impersonation scam — pretending to be an institution when they’re not, [or pretending to be] a friend, a colleague, a relative.”

There’s also usually what Baker referred to as a “sob story” involved in the ask.

It’s “highly emotional, highly urgent — ‘You have to hurry!’ And those are the things that really should raise a red flag to say, ‘Hey, wait a minute, I need to hang up this phone and reach back out to the institution and make sure that it’s really them,’” Baker told us.

That can be difficult to do in the heat of the moment — especially if someone is claiming to be a representative from an institution we work with, and they’re warning us that we might lose everything if we don’t act quickly. However, trusting our guts and taking a step back to analyze the situation can save us a lot of agony — and money.

“Most everyone I speak to said, ‘Yeah, I didn’t really feel like I should be doing it, but I did it because they had all this other information on me ― like, they knew my address, they knew my name, birth date, they knew my Social Security number,’” Baker said. “All that information — with all these huge data breaches that we’ve seen over the last several years, bad guys get ahold of that information. So they use it to set trust and context, and then they get us to do something.”

Baker tells clients to “trust [their] intuition,” and to keep in mind that banks and other institutions are never going to ask for that kind of information over the phone or via email
