Tishwash: Trade: Conferences with Gulf countries to activate the private sector
In line with government plans and programs designed to stimulate the private sector and enhance its role in the country's development plans, the Ministry of Commerce announced its intention to hold conferences with a number of Gulf countries with the aim of developing partnerships with the private sector and maximizing the country's financial resources.
The ministry's official spokesperson, Mohammed Hanoun, told Al-Sabah that the ministry has included in its plans and policies the activation of international economic and trade relations, in addition to launching new memoranda of understanding with a number of countries, particularly the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the States of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, to enhance cooperation and support the international private sector. He added that the next phase will witness the organization of joint conferences and seminars with these countries, which have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Iraq in this field.
He indicated that these activities will establish clear foundations for formulating policies related to international relations related to the private sector and investments, which will contribute to maximizing the country's resources without placing an additional burden on government budgets.
Hanoun explained that Iraq's recent accession to the World Trade Organization will contribute to the implementation of decisions and laws related to the economy, food security, and support for local products, in line with local market requirements. This is in line with the government's approach to prioritizing the private sector and activating it to work alongside the public sector. He confirmed that his ministry has submitted new draft laws to the House of Representatives that will strengthen international economic and trade relations.
He pointed out that the Ministry has succeeded in automating all its procedures and transitioning to digital work in various fields, particularly those related to the private sector. It has created a new electronic platform called "Al-Tajer" to facilitate the process of registering merchants and obtaining their licenses.
In the same context, the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson revealed that many Gulf investors and businessmen, most notably Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, have expressed their willingness to enter into investment partnerships with Iraq. He explained that digital transformation will be an attractive factor for them, as it will facilitate the formulation of plans and policies, free from complex administrative routine.
He emphasized the importance of electronic platforms, as they will enable transactions to be completed and approvals obtained within record timeframes, enhancing the investment climate while simultaneously providing international companies and investors with a more flexible operating environment. link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
Could BRICS Build a Rival to the IMF and World Bank?
As BRICS nations press for financial autonomy, their ambitions to supplant Western institutions may signal a shifting architecture of global finance and power.
Good Evening Dinar Recaps,
Could BRICS Build a Rival to the IMF and World Bank?
As BRICS nations press for financial autonomy, their ambitions to supplant Western institutions may signal a shifting architecture of global finance and power.
Why BRICS Seeks Alternatives to Bretton Woods Institutions
BRICS critics say the IMF and World Bank are Western-dominated, with voting structures, loan conditions, and policy preferences favoring U.S. and European interests.
Loans from those institutions often come with policy strings, governance conditions, structural adjustments, which developing states see as infringing on sovereignty.
In response, BRICS has already built the New Development Bank (NDB) and Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA), as alternative financial mechanisms.
What BRICS Face in Building a Rival
🔹 Scale & Capital Constraints
The IMF has resources exceeding $1 trillion, while NDB’s approved loan book is far smaller (circa $30 billion).
Member states compete to have their national currencies used in lending, creating friction in unified currency strategy.
🔹 Institutional Credibility & Network Effects
IMF and World Bank have decades of institutional trust, deep data infrastructure, large global talent pools, and legal frameworks that new institutions must build from scratch.
BRICS success hinges on whether they can offer assistance without harsh conditionality, attracting countries disillusioned with Western institutions.
Recent Signals: Reform and Pushback
In July 2025, BRICS finance ministers made a unified proposal to reform the IMF: reallocating voting quotas to better reflect emerging economies, and challenging European dominance over leadership roles.
Earlier, Russia had urged BRICS to establish its own IMF-style institution as a counter to Western influence.
The CRA (Contingent Reserve Arrangement) is a preexisting framework among BRICS to provide liquidity support, viewed already as a partial competitor to IMF.
How This Could Reshape Global Alignments
🔹 Redistribution of Financial Power
If BRICS can scale its banks and mechanisms, capitals and credit decisions may shift away from Washington, London, and Brussels toward emerging centers in Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
🔹 Alternative Conditions & Sovereignty
Loans without strict Western policy prescriptions would be more attractive to borrowers seeking autonomy. That would shift the bargaining power in global finance toward borrower states and away from donor nations.
🔹 Multipolar Financial Order
A working BRICS rival would encourage blocs like Africa, Latin America, ASEAN, and Middle Eastern states to link with multiple financial systems rather than depending on a single “Western” architecture.
🔹 Accelerated De-Dollarization
As BRICS institutions lend in local currencies and support non-USD denominated systems, reliance on the U.S. dollar for reserves, loans, and trade settlement could weaken in some corridors.
🔹 Network & Legal Ecosystems
For a truly effective rival, BRICS must build legal, data, risk, auditing, regulatory, and governance frameworks — essentially a parallel financial infrastructure.
Why This Matters
The idea of BRICS creating a real rival to IMF/World Bank is more than academic — it is about who controls global credit, who sets financial norms, and where capital flows. As more countries experience the burden of Western conditionality, BRICS’ alternatives grow more attractive. The outcome could be a world where multiple financial centers coexist, each with its own rails, influence, and currencies.
This potential shift underscores a deeper transformation: the restructuring of the global financial world order before our eyes.

Top BRICS Countries With the Highest Gold Reserves in 2025
Gold reserve accumulation by BRICS is more than a financial strategy — it’s a signaling move in the remaking of global monetary influence.
BRICS’ Gold Holdings: Who Leads & Why It Matters
As of 2025, BRICS nations collectively hold over 6,000 metric tons of gold, amounting to roughly 20–21% of global central bank gold reserves.
Russia leads with 2,335.85 tons; China follows closely with 2,298.53 tons.
India ranks third within BRICS at 879.98 tons. Brazil and South Africa hold more modest reserves: 129.65 and 125.47 tons respectively.
Russia and China together control about 74% of BRICS’ gold reserves, giving them disproportionate leverage within the bloc.
Why Gold Is Central to the BRICS Strategy
🔹 Hedge against currency volatility
Gold provides a tangible store of value that is not tied to any one fiat currency. In times of sanctions or dollar weakness, these reserves serve as a stabilizer for national balance sheets.
🔹 Backing for emerging financial vehicles
If BRICS pushes forward on ideas like a common currency, or gold-linked settlement systems, these reserves are the credibility behind those proposals.
🔹 Sign of financial sovereignty
Aggressive accumulation—despite sanctions or geopolitical pressure—signals determination to reduce dependency on Western financial systems.
Broader Impacts & Alignments
🔹 Shifting reserve structure globally
While BRICS is solidifying its gold base, traditional reserve holders (U.S., Europe) still control large gold reserves. The U.S., for example, holds about 8,133.5 tons per World Gold Council/IMF gold data.
That gap remains large, but the rate of increase and redistribution is key: growth among emerging powers changes the marginal influence of gold in global finance.
🔹 Fueling de-dollarization and alternative monetary schemes
As BRICS holds more gold and strengthens alternative infrastructure (e.g. tokenization, blockchain payments, local currency trade), the rationale behind dependence on the U.S. dollar comes under increasing strain.
🔹 Power inside BRICS & candidate alignment
Countries with heavier gold reserves (Russia, China) will have more influence in shaping BRICS policy: who joins, what financial systems are built, how loans and investments flow. Nations seeing opportunities or exclusion may align based on where they see the most leverage.
🔹 Potential for a gold-anchored BRICS currency
There is speculation that BRICS may develop a new common currency, possibly backed by or linked to gold. Such a move would reposition gold from a reserve metal to basis for a functioning cross-border monetary instrument.
Why This Matters
Gold accumulation is not passive — it is a deliberate infrastructural investment in financial autonomy, currency power, and status in a multipolar world. BRICS countries are setting up a foundation for a system less beholden to Western-dominated institutions and the dollar.
This shift is part of a broader re-engineering of global finance: new blocs, new rails, new legitimacy.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Oil Prices Fall As Oversupply Concerns Mount
Economy | 09:05 - 09/30/2025 Mawazine News - Follow-up Oil prices fell on Tuesday, amid expectations of a further increase in OPEC+ production and the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq via Turkey, which reinforced concerns about a global supply glut.
Brent crude futures for November delivery fell 54 cents, or 0.8%, to $67.43 a barrel, while the more active December contract fell 53 cents to $66.56 a barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude fell 50 cents, or 0.8%, to $62.95 a barrel.
This decline follows losses on Monday, when both Brent and WTI fell more than 3%, their largest daily decline since early August. https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=267602
The First Tanker Carrying Oil From Kurdistan Will Be Loaded At The Port Of Ceyhan Next Thursday
Energy Economy News – Baghdad Two oil industry sources told Reuters that 700,000 barrels of Iraqi Kurdistan oil are scheduled to be loaded onto the tanker Valisina at the Turkish port of Ceyhan on October 2.
The two sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added that the Valisina will be the first tanker to carry Iraqi Kurdistan crude after the resumption of oil flows from the semi-autonomous region via Türkiye on September 27.
Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani said last Friday that the agreement between the Iraqi federal government, the Kurdistan Regional Government, and foreign oil producers operating in the region will allow between 180,000 and 190,000 barrels of oil per day to flow to the Turkish port of Ceyhan.
For his part, the Iraqi Undersecretary of the Ministry of Oil stated that the resumption of oil flows from the Kurdistan Region will contribute to raising the country's exports to approximately 3.6 million barrels per day in the coming days. He explained that Iraq's production and export levels will remain within its OPEC quota of 4.2 million barrels per day.
Crude oil flows through a pipeline from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to Türkiye resumed for the first time in two and a half years, following an interim agreement that ended the deadlock. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=60562

Integrity: Digital Transformation Contributes To Reducing Corruption And Maximizing State Revenues.
Local The Chairman of the Federal Integrity Commission, Mohammed Ali Al-Lami, stressed on Tuesday the importance of state institutions automating their procedures and shifting towards governance and digitization, particularly in sectors related to enhancing and maximizing state revenues.
During his meeting with Thamer Qasim Daoud, Director General of the General Authority of Customs, Al-Lami highlighted the importance of concerted efforts by state institutions to preserve public funds, ensure they are not wasted, and spend them on their allocated resources.
He commended all efforts dedicated to protecting the national economy, preventing the smuggling of illegal goods and tax evasion, and preventing any harm to the national product.
He stressed the need to focus on proactive preventative measures to combat corruption, noting that one of the most important mechanisms for protecting and preserving public funds is transparency in work procedures, to prevent the risks of corruption before they occur.
He praised the efforts of state institutions to automate all their procedures and transition from manual, paper-based work to digitizing those procedures, noting that this contributes significantly to reducing corruption and narrowing its channels.
For his part, the Director General of the General Authority of Customs praised the cooperation and coordination between the regulatory authorities and those operating at the ports in monitoring the exit of goods and commodities through border crossings, working to collect customs duties on imported goods, preventing smuggling, and protecting the national product.
He stressed the need to prevent corruption in this important sector and not to provide exemptions or customs facilities that violate laws and regulations. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=60565

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
U.S. Sees Historic Exodus: Over 154,000 Federal Workers Depart
The largest one-week exit of civil servants in modern history signals deep institutional rupture — with implications far beyond Washington.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
U.S. Sees Historic Exodus: Over 154,000 Federal Workers Depart
The largest one-week exit of civil servants in modern history signals deep institutional rupture — with implications far beyond Washington.
What’s Really Happening
Around 154,000 federal workers are leaving government payroll this week — officially resigning under the Trump administration’s deferred resignation / buyout program.
Earlier reports projected 100,000+ resignations, which now appear to be part of a larger wave.
Many of those employees had already been on administrative leave for months, paid through the end of September despite not working.
The program is designed to reduce the federal workforce by ~300,000 jobs in total by the end of the year, representing roughly 12.5% of the civilian federal workforce.
Institutional Risks & Financial Pressure
This mass exodus will lead to a “brain drain”: loss of institutional memory, weakened agency capacity, and a gap in critical technical, scientific, and regulatory roles (e.g. NASA, CDC, Agriculture).
Agencies will need to contract, outsource, or rebuild functions, which raises transitional costs and inefficiencies.
The government projects $28 billion in annual savings, but critics argue the short-term cost, legal risks, and service disruption may exceed benefits.
Global & Structural Implications
🔹 Erosion of Trust in Institutions
When a major government deliberately sheds large swaths of its professional workforce, it signals a shift in how the state perceives its role. Other countries watching U.S. internal restructuring may adjust their expectations: less reliability, more volatility.
🔹 Reallocation of Capital & Talent
Those leaving may reenter private sectors or new institutions, shifting expertise, capital, and influence away from public systems. This movement supports the growth of new governance, tech, or finance platforms outside traditional state structures.
🔹 Precedent for Other Governments
If the U.S. — long considered the institutional gold standard — pursues deep cuts, it gives cover to other nations to attempt similar transformations. Coupled with pressures from debt, sanctions, or economic disruptions, nations may justify major overhauls of civil service or public institutions.
🔹 Interplay with Global Restructuring
This institutional shake-up fits with other tectonic shifts: de-dollarization, new trade blocs, alternative financial systems. A weaker, leaner U.S. administrative state means less capacity to manage global order. Other powers and blocs (BRICS, China, regional institutions) may step into the void.
Why This Matters
This isn’t a routine downsizing. It’s a structural break in how government operates, financed, and is perceived. The consequences ripple into legislative competence, global strategy, and the balance of power in diplomatic and financial arenas.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

“Out With the Old, In With the New”: Pete Hegseth Signals Military Reset
“This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.”
In a sharp address to U.S. generals and admirals, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth declared that the “era of the Department of Defense is over.” His message: the military will be purged of “woke” policies, higher standards will be enforced, and leaders unwilling to adapt should resign.
This is more than rhetoric — it signals a structural reset of the armed forces, which could tie directly into broader institutional and financial change.
Key Highlights
Renaming the Department → Defense is “dead”; it’s now the War Department, emphasizing offense and strength.
Warrior Ethos Restored → “Peace through strength” replaces political correctness as guiding doctrine.
Fitness & Discipline → Generals failing physical tests or grooming standards must step aside.
End of DEI & Woke Policies → Leadership will no longer cater to identity-based initiatives.
Oversight Shake-Up → Inspector General reforms to reduce internal resistance.
Ultimatum → Those opposed should retire: “We will thank you for your service.”
Why This Matters
By forcing out the old guard and consolidating loyalty, Hegseth is preparing the military for a new era of centralized, disciplined authority. In times of political uncertainty or financial turbulence, this kind of restructured military becomes a stabilizing force — or a lever of change.
When military leadership resets, it often mirrors — and prepares for — a reset in governance and finance. Out with the old, in with the new applies not just to generals, but to the global system itself.

Stablecoins, G7 Regulation & the Timeline to Reset
“This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.”
Why Stablecoin Laws Matter
Stablecoins are no longer fringe crypto projects — they’re now central to how nations think about digital money and financial sovereignty. The G7 countries are moving at different speeds, creating a staggered path toward being “reset-ready.”
G7 Progress Toward Stablecoin Regulation
Japan – First to act (2023). Banks can issue yen-backed stablecoins. Already live → High readiness.
EU (France, Germany, Italy) – MiCA law fully in effect by 2025. Strong reserves, audits, euro-backed tokens → Very high readiness.
United States – GENIUS Act (2025) passed, but full enforcement may take until 2027. Dollar-tokens will be tightly controlled → Medium-High readiness.
United Kingdom – Draft laws under review. Real enforcement likely by 2026 → Medium readiness.
Canada – Early oversight in place, but no dedicated stablecoin charter until at least 2027 → Medium-Low readiness.
Why This Matters
First movers (Japan, EU) gain leverage in shaping digital money standards.
Dollar vs. multipolarity – Regulated euro/yen tokens challenge dollar stablecoins.
Global reset fuel – Once multiple G7s are “reset-ready,” stablecoins can underpin new cross-border systems, opening the door to asset-backed or revalued currencies.
Reset Timeline (Approximate)
2025–26: Japan, EU go live; US builds rulebook.
2027: US, UK frameworks mature; Canada follows.
2028–30: Stablecoins integrated in payments, paving the way for systemic reset.
The path is clear: regulation of stablecoins is the foundation for new financial infrastructure. Each country’s pace determines its leverage in a reset.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

The Fed’s Rationale for Rate Cuts
The Fed’s Rationale for Rate Cuts
Heresy Financial: 9-29-2025
The Federal Reserve is currently operating under a monetary policy stance widely regarded as restrictive—a necessary measure, according to many, to fully contain inflation. But behind closed doors, a significant debate is brewing, fueled by newly appointed Fed Governor Steven Moran, who is advocating for a dramatic reversal.
Moran argues that the current policy is excessively tight because the neutral interest rate ($r^{*}$)—the theoretical rate that neither stimulates nor restrains the economy—is far lower than current Fed rates.
The Fed’s Rationale for Rate Cuts
Heresy Financial: 9-29-2025
The Federal Reserve is currently operating under a monetary policy stance widely regarded as restrictive—a necessary measure, according to many, to fully contain inflation. But behind closed doors, a significant debate is brewing, fueled by newly appointed Fed Governor Steven Moran, who is advocating for a dramatic reversal.
Moran argues that the current policy is excessively tight because the neutral interest rate ($r^{*}$)—the theoretical rate that neither stimulates nor restrains the economy—is far lower than current Fed rates.
This clash of views isn’t just academic; it reflects deep underlying tensions in the U.S. economy, where fiscal reality is aggressively colliding with monetary theory. We break down the core arguments, as analyzed in a recent video by Heresy Financial.
Governor Moran’s recommendation to lower rates significantly is based on several key factors he believes are fundamentally shifting the economic landscape, specifically targeting inflationary pressures and national savings.
One of Moran’s most compelling (and controversial) arguments centers on rent inflation, a major component of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). He posits that changes in U.S. immigration policy have dramatically reduced population growth fueled by immigration, leading to a corresponding decrease in demand for rental housing.
If this trend continues, Moran predicts a substantial decline in rent inflation, which should naturally pull overall inflation lower. While questioning the consistency of the underlying immigration data, the macroeconomic impact is undeniable: less demand for housing means less pressure on prices, potentially giving the Fed room to ease.
In Moran’s view, these shifts mean the current high rates are unnecessarily stifling economic activity, and the Fed is risking a slowdown by sticking to its restrictive policy.
To understand Moran’s dissent, it is crucial to grasp the concept of the neutral rate. In a sound money economy, interest rates are determined by the natural supply and demand for capital, varying based on borrower risk, loan duration, and market liquidity. The neutral rate ($r^{*}$) is essentially the equilibrium point where the economy hums along without overheating or stalling.
Crucially, the Fed never truly aims to set rates at $r^{*}$.
Instead, the Fed uses monetary policy to deliberately influence the economy. When inflation is high, they set rates above the neutral rate (restrictive policy). When the economy needs a jolt, they set rates below the neutral rate (stimulative policy). Moran’s argument is simply that the Fed’s current “restrictive” setting is far too high because $r^{*}$ itself has fallen.
While Moran’s economic arguments about inflation and supply-side effects are compelling, the video from Heresy Financial emphasizes that the debate over $r^{*}$ pales in comparison to the unavoidable fiscal reality facing the United States.
The U.S. is currently burdened with over $37 trillion in national debt, pushing its debt-to-GDP ratio beyond the levels seen immediately following World War II.
This staggering debt load, financed heavily through short-term Treasury bills (T-bills), creates massive pressure for the Fed to lower interest rates—not for the health of the economy, but to reduce the government’s rapidly soaring borrowing costs.
High interest rates mean the government must pay crushing amounts simply to service its outstanding debt. Lowering rates on T-bills offers a temporary “band-aid,” providing immediate relief to the Treasury’s balance sheet.
The pressure to lower rates is therefore less about hitting the theoretical neutral rate and more about avoiding a fiscal crisis driven by unsustainable borrowing.
Ultimately, manipulating interest rates through Fed policy is only a short-term fix for a monumental structural problem. Whether Steven Moran is correct about the neutral rate being lower is secondary to the fact that the nation’s debt requires aggressive fiscal management.
Sustainable resolution cannot come from monetary easing alone. It requires genuine economic growth and increased production, generating a larger tax base and more taxable wealth to support massive government finances. Until that fiscal commitment is made, arguments over the neutral rate serve mainly as distractions from the looming debt ceiling.
For a deeper dive into the specific quantitative easing mechanisms, the implications of the debt crisis, and Governor Moran’s full analysis, watch the full video from Heresy Financial.

The 6 Most Important Pieces Of Financial Advice
Michelle Mastro Sun, September 28, 2025 Business Insider
I've worked in global banking for 25 years. These are the 6 most important pieces of financial advice I tell family and friends.
Racquel Oden has worked in global banking for over two decades.
Some of the advice she gives family and friends is to focus on retirement as soon as possible.
She also says to prioritize investments over student loan debt and CDs over regular savings accounts.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Racquel Oden, US head of wealth and private banking at HSBC. It has been edited for length and clarity.
I've worked in global banking for HSBC, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Merril Lynch, and many more. Over the years, I've given my clients plenty of advice on saving, budgeting, investing, retirement, and financial planning.
When it comes to my family and friends, the most important financial advice I give them is to start putting away money as soon as possible.
You're never too young to start saving or investing — and there are many things that even Generation Z could be doing now to help themselves reach their financial goals, whether that's saving up for a down payment for a house, a dream trip abroad, a lavish wedding, or even an early retirement.
If You're Working, You Should Be Focused On Retirement And Your Personal Savings
I know it sounds far away, but you should always be saving for retirement by paying into your 401(k).
Simultaneously, you should also be getting to the point where you have enough in your personal savings account to support your living expenses for the next six months in case you happen to lose your job for whatever reason. This money is what I call short-term cash on hand, what you can use to pay your basic needs — things like your apartment rent, car payments, grocery bills, etc.
You're Ready To Invest Once You Have More Than Short-Term Cash On Hand
I think for a lot of young investors, they're unsure of when to start investing. We often think, "I need to have all this money to invest."
I want to take that stigma away. Any amount of money will work better for you in money markets than in a savings account, which doesn't provide much or any interest. Once you have more than short-term cash on hand, you can create another account in preparation for investing.
Create A Financial Plan With The Help Of A Financial Advisor
What's great about sitting down with a financial advisor is that most banks do not initially charge for this service.

8 Ways Lifestyle Creep Keeps You From Building Your Wealth
8 Ways Lifestyle Creep Keeps You From Building Your Wealth
Joel Lim Sun, September 28, 2025 GOBankingRates
You’re making decent money. You don’t feel like you overspend. And you don’t have a ton of bills. So, you wonder, why aren’t you building more wealth? You should be doing much better right now than you feel like you are, you figure. So what’s happening? You’re not alone. Only 22.1% of Americans have more than $100,000 invested and it is at that financial point that your wealth really starts to grow, according to 24/7 Wall St.

You’re making decent money. You don’t feel like you overspend. And you don’t have a ton of bills. So, you wonder, why aren’t you building more wealth? You should be doing much better right now than you feel like you are, you figure. So what’s happening? You’re not alone. Only 22.1% of Americans have more than $100,000 invested and it is at that financial point that your wealth really starts to grow, according to 24/7 Wall St.
Read on to explore the everyday actions you’re taking or not taking, that are holding you back from joining that 22%.
You Increase Your Cost of Living Every Time You Get a Raise
It’s tempting — so tempting — to move into a bigger apartment, get a better car or start shopping at Whole Foods instead of Food 4 Less as you start to make more money. It makes sense. You’re tired of living frugally when you’re not, in fact, at that financial level anymore.
But this mistake is probably the biggest reason you’re not accumulating more wealth, even though you’re technically “doing better.”
How To Change: You don’t have to put every extra dollar you make into investments, but you do have to put some of it in there. As you first start getting raises and promotions, aim to contribute at least 50% of your raise to your investment portfolio, which is what Poor Swiss suggested. As your lifestyle improves, contribute a great percentage of each raise to investments until you reach your desired goal.
You Make Luxury Your Normal
If you look at most genuinely wealthy people in the United States, they don’t live wild and flashy lives. They tend to live simple lives with simple items for their necessities. They prioritize financial security over “things.” It’s a good approach to take to your lifestyle.
You don’t need the most expensive shoes, jacket or watch. And chances are, you don’t need a massive house with more bedrooms than you have family members. But you do need to add to your investment portfolio, where your investments can earn you 12% in returns, according to Ramsey Solutions. Your Chanel bag won’t get you there.
How To Change: Make a deal with yourself that you’ll treat yourself on occasion and the rest of your money will go toward necessities and growing your wealth. It’s a mindset shift you need to make to prioritize financial security.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Tues. 30 September 2025
Compiled Tues. 30 September 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington
Summary:
The information, compiled by journalist Judy Byington, MSW, LCSW, paints a dramatic picture of systemic change—a comprehensive transition from the current fiat system to a gold/asset-backed structure, known as the Global Currency Reset (GCR) and the implementation of NESARA/GESARA protocols.
If these reports are accurate, the financial world is about to witness an unprecedented series of events that will fundamentally redefine everything from personal debt to global governance.
The immediate focus has been placed squarely on the end of the US Inc. government funding period, scheduled for midnight on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. This cutoff is rumored to be permanent for many government agencies, signaling an actual “purge,” rather than a reformation.
Simultaneously, the global banking system is set to undergo a mass integration. As of October 1st, 97 of the top 100 central banks are reportedly transitioning into the gold/asset-backed Quantum Financial System (QFS) and its Real-Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) architecture. Out of 209 countries, only 82 regional authorities remain pending full onboarding.
For those following the GCR narratives, the most significant recent development centers on the Iraqi Dinar. The reports state that the long-anticipated Revaluation (RV) of the Iraqi Dinar has been (allegedly) officially confirmed and published by the Central Bank of Iraq, making its rate legally recognized by the international monetary system.
According to sources like “Wolverine,” the Global Currency Reset has officially begun, with Bond Holders reportedly receiving payments. This signals that Tier 4b (the Internet Group)—those holding specific foreign currencies or historic bonds—are next in line for notification and exchange.
The most detailed section of the latest update concerns the redemption process itself—the mechanism by which private individuals will access the new financial system and exchange their currencies/bonds.
The core message is clear: Banks are not the path.
Instead, the public must (allegedly) use specialized Redemption Centers. These centers serve as the exclusive gateways under NESARA/GESARA protocols, offering rates far exceeding standard bank exchanges.
Those entering a Redemption Center must be (allegedly) prepared with identification, proof of address, necessary currency/bond documents, and if applicable, their humanitarian project plans. They will negotiate their rate, confirm their allocations, and open their Quantum Financial System (QFS) accounts.
Crucially, participants will be (allegedly) required to sign a strict, multi-page Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). The reports stress that the Alliance monitors all communications (calls, messages, social media) and NDA violations will be dealt with instantly.
Whether viewed as an inevitable reality or a circulating prophecy, the timeline presented is undeniably urgent. The reports conclude with a strong emphasis on immediate preparedness, noting that between October 1 and October 11, notifications are expected to begin for setting up Redemption Center and even Med Bed appointments on the new Quantum System.
President Trump has suggested that NESARA/GESARA will be fully implemented by January 1, 2026. However, the path to that date is predicated on a volatile and highly transformative October.
For those adhering to this intelligence, the clock is ticking. The message is clear: “The doors to Redemption will not stay open forever. Be ready. Be precise. Step into the storm.”

Yada ...all the things necessary for the rate change has been completed. The banks are ready digitally, the accounting of the dinar is accounted for, the assets to back up the value is in place, and everyone from international to local government are ready. Since the oil was only going to flow after the rate is released internationally, we have confirmation the oil has started therefore we should see the rate change through our banks.
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: The CBI governor Alaq speaking today to the investment forum...Iraq has no intentions to change our exchange rate at this time. He went on to say later in the morning we are not considering any adjustments to the rate...He comes back out and says we have the lowest inflation rate ever and have very comfortable foreign reserves capable of stabilizing our exchange rate. FRANK: It caused a little panic...but there's no reason for it. None whatsoever... He can't say anything because it's against the law. It's illegal according to international law...Of course he's going to do the same thing Kuwait did, China did.

Tishwash: BRICS Development Bank Vice President: The process of abandoning the dollar is underway
Paulo Batista Nogueira, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund and Vice President of the New Development Bank, confirmed on Monday that the process of abandoning the dollar, or what he described as "dollarization," is already underway.
He noted that the dollar is expensive and risky, and that the United States is undermining its credibility through its behavior.
"Expanding the bank is essential, and expanding the political structure of the BRICS group is another matter," Nogueira told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Valdai Discussion Club.

Tishwash: BRICS Development Bank Vice President: The process of abandoning the dollar is underway
Paulo Batista Nogueira, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund and Vice President of the New Development Bank, confirmed on Monday that the process of abandoning the dollar, or what he described as "dollarization," is already underway.
He noted that the dollar is expensive and risky, and that the United States is undermining its credibility through its behavior.
"Expanding the bank is essential, and expanding the political structure of the BRICS group is another matter," Nogueira told Sputnik on the sidelines of the Valdai Discussion Club.
"We have always sought to achieve the primary goal when the bank was established in 2014, which was to increase the number of member states to become a bank for the Global South. This goal has been achieved very slowly, but it is continuing."
The economic expert pointed out that countries are working to expand bilateral trade in national currencies and avoid using the dollar within the banking system.
He added, "The process of de-dollarization is already underway in several aspects. One of them, in particular, is this: Countries are bypassing the dollar and conducting their transactions directly in their national currencies.
This is happening both within and outside the BRICS group. Why? Because the dollar is expensive, risky, and because the United States is undermining its credibility through its behavior, so countries are looking for alternatives."
He explained: "Their dollar reserves are being diverted to other applications. Trade is conducted and increased in national currencies, and eventually, in my opinion, we will need to move toward a new reserve currency.
But that is a matter for the future. Now, we see the US administration trying to punish countries that try to avoid the dollar and join the dollarization trend through various trade laws, sanctions, and so on."
Asked about the likelihood of success of the US methods, Nogueira said, "I don't think these violent methods used by the Trump administration will work in the US's favor. As you can see, countries that are beyond the dollar are not against it."
"Simply put, they can't deal with it under the system the United States has in place. I would even say that the main enemy of the dollar is the United States itself, because it has turned it into a political tool. It has turned it into a weapon in the financial system. So, this won't work.
When the dollar was truly a reliable international currency, it was through persuasion. Now, they are trying to maintain the dollar's status as a reserve currency through coercion."
Regarding the timing of the new BRICS currency's implementation, the economist said: "Not in the short term, and perhaps not even in the medium term, but it must be clear that when we talk about a BRICS currency, we are not talking about a common unified currency like the euro.
No, that's not the case. What can be done, and what a number of people have proposed, is a common reference currency for international transactions that replaces the dollar, as an alternative to it."
He concluded, "There is something that is sometimes difficult to explain, but is very important, which is that these transactions in national currencies do not reach a specific limit. They are not effective in the medium term.
Why? Because they do not allow countries to record persistent trade imbalances with each other. Therefore, we need a new reserve currency, one that will be an alternative to the dollar." link

Tishwash: Al-Sudani's office: American companies have turned to investing in Iraqi oil and gas fields.
The Iraqi Prime Minister's Office revealed on Monday, September 29, 2025, that American companies are interested in investing in oil and gas fields in Iraq, while also stating that several investment opportunities have been referred to international and local companies.
Ali Razouki, Deputy Director of the Prime Minister's Office and Chairman of the Supervisory Committee of the Iraq Investment Forum, said in a statement followed by Al-Jabal that "the Iraq Investment Forum has witnessed remarkable successes by attracting major international companies in the fields of oil, industry, agriculture and other investment sectors." He explained that "this success reflects the security and economic stability that Iraq enjoys, which creates an attractive environment for investors."
He added, "The National Investment Commission previously indicated its success in attracting no less than $100 billion in local and foreign capital, but this figure is expected to rise steadily after the forum."
He continued, "The forum included dialogue sessions with a number of specialists to explain Iraq's investment philosophy and the directions of the relevant ministries, in addition to holding workshops that highlighted available investment opportunities in cooperation with relevant companies." He emphasized that "the forum resulted in the referral of several investment opportunities to international and local companies, which is a tangible achievement."
Razouki pointed out that "after this forum, Iraq witnessed widespread competition among companies for investment opportunities," explaining that "areas that were globally classified as 'Red Zones' are now open to investment after doubts about them were removed."
He noted that "American companies have headed to Anbar province to invest in some oil and gas fields," stressing that "the coming period will witness increasing activity in this direction link

Tishwash: Government plan to raise non-oil revenues to 20%
Hamoudi Al-Lami, the Prime Minister's advisor for industry, development, and the private sector, announced on Monday that a new platform for establishing industrial projects will soon be launched within 15 days. He also indicated that plans are being developed to increase non-oil revenues by 20 %.
Al-Lami said in a statement monitored by "Mil" that "the government is counting on the private sector to be the main driver of the national economy by investing idle capital," noting that "the volume of investments has reached $102 billion so far, while the government aims to raise it to $450 billion by 2030 as part of the development project ."
He explained that "the private sector is influential and significant in investing capital, as much of it remains outside Iraq or frozen in banks, and has not been invested in industries that require a long time to generate profits ."
He added, "Any industrial project requires at least four to five years to begin production and two to three years to generate returns, which was a challenge under previous unstable conditions." He noted that "the current situation is witnessing a revolution in the industrial sector, which will be a major driver of the economy and will provide tens of thousands of job opportunities, in addition to providing resources to the state treasury by attracting Iraqi and foreign capital ."
Al-Lami pointed out that "the government has prioritized combating administrative corruption through automation. Within the next two weeks, the Prime Minister will launch an electronic platform that will shorten the time required to obtain a license to complete the establishment of an industrial project from two or three years to just 15 days, by consolidating the required approvals from 14 to 18 entities into a single portal," according to the official news agency .
Al-Lami revealed "facilitations for bringing in foreign workers, as Syrian and Bangladeshi workers and other technical experts will now be permitted, after previously being prohibited, in order to encourage investors and remove obstacles to their projects ."
Regarding the private sector's contribution to GDP, Al-Lami stated that "non-oil revenues increased from 7% in 2020 to 14% currently, thanks to government measures and automation, with efforts to reach 20% in the coming months." link
