Update VND Stablizing Aginst the USD

Update VND Stablizing Aginst the USD

Edu Matrix:  10-21-2025

Summary of the VND during the last 30 days. Hold on to your VND things are changing slowly.

The global economic landscape is constantly shifting, but occasionally, a country hits a growth streak so powerful it demands attention. This week, Sandy Ingram of Edu Matrix delivered vital insight into one such nation: Vietnam.

Beyond the standard market chatter, Ingram detailed the core dynamics driving Vietnam’s economy forward, resulting in a notable strengthening of the Vietnamese Dong (VND). But first, the Edu Matrix channel offered two critical announcements reflecting the complex environment in which financial reporting operates.

Here is a breakdown of the key takeaways from the latest Edu Matrix video, covering both crucial channel decisions and the explosive growth fueling Vietnam’s economy.

Financial reporting requires stability and political prudence. Sandy Ingram opened the video with two crucial operational updates:

Ingram announced that Edu Matrix has temporarily paused its coverage and reporting on Iraq. This deliberate decision stems from the violent unrest surrounding the nation’s upcoming elections.

To ensure the channel maintains absolute impartiality and avoids any perception of attempting to influence a fragile political process, Edu Matrix will step back until stability returns. This move reinforces the channel’s commitment to providing objective financial information, separate from political maneuvering.

Viewers are also warned about potential short-term disruptions to video uploads. With volatile weather patterns intensifying in the Caribbean, the threat of hurricanes causing power outages is significant. Ingram emphasized that while the team strives for consistent uploads, temporary delays due to acts of nature may occur.

With the necessary housekeeping complete, the spotlight immediately shifted to Vietnam, where the confluence of strong economic indicators is creating a powerful upward trend for the currency.

For those tracking the Vietnamese Dong (VND) against the US Dollar, the direction of travel has historically been volatile or steadily weakening. That is no longer the case. The VND is showing distinct signs of strengthening, driven by a powerful trifecta of factors:

Vietnam is operating at peak performance. The nation reported a staggering 8.2% GDP increase in Quarter 3 of 2025. This level of growth places Vietnam at the forefront of emerging markets, suggesting robust industrial output, high consumer confidence, and significant foreign investment flowing into the manufacturing sectors.

Strong domestic output combined with thriving international trade has resulted in a hefty $16.8 billion trade surplus in 2025. A sustained trade surplus means Vietnam is earning significantly more foreign currency from its exports than it is spending on imports. This surplus increases the demand for the local currency (the Dong) on the global market, naturally pushing its value higher.

Overseas Vietnamese communities continue to show strong support for their homeland. In the first nine months of the year, remittance inflows reached nearly $8 billion. These funds—sent home by workers and families abroad—inject foreign currency directly into the Vietnamese economy, supporting the domestic currency’s stability and appreciation.

While the economic fundamentals are sound, the role of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) cannot be overstated.

Ingram noted that the SBV has been instrumental in managing this transition. By employing a flexible monetary policy, the central bank actively manages its foreign exchange reserves and intervenes in the forex market to prevent excessive weakening or volatility.

The recent move by the central bank to slightly lower its daily reference rate indicates a measured acceptance of the Dong’s weak appreciation. Commercial banks have adjusted their trading rates accordingly, confirming the shift.

Investor Takeaway: Sandy Ingram strongly encouraged viewers to consider holding onto the VND, emphasizing that it is a tradable asset on the global forex market, providing an opportunity for those looking to diversify their currency holdings.

Vietnam offers a compelling case study in focused, high-speed economic development. The combination of trade success, strong domestic production, and prudent central bank management signals a sustained period of stability and potential appreciation for the Dong.

Beyond reviewing geopolitical and economic hotspots, the Edu Matrix channel maintains a focus on accessible wealth building. For long-term investors, Ingram promoted the channel’s membership program, designed to offer affordable guidance on leveraging small, consistent monthly investments.

The core philosophy remains one of patience: harnessing the power of compound interest to grow wealth gradually and reliably over time.

For deeper analysis of Vietnam’s currency movements and the full context of these announcements, be sure to watch the full video from Edu Matrix.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 10-21-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night  10-21-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps  (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it's Tuesday, October 21st  and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody again for coming in and tuning in to us. we welcome everybody out there, all over the globe, and beyond. Thank you. So let's go ahead and pray the call in.

All right, Let's talk about where we find ourselves now from an Intel point of view. First of all, yesterday, nine in the morning, until 5 pm there was a conference call with the banks from Treasury talking to the banks from nine in the morning, five in the afternoon.   What was the deal ?? 

They were talking about Banks that had branches going away because they were not Basel 3 compliant, which they needed to be by last Wednesday, the 15th of October. That was a deadline. If you weren't compliant by then, you're out.

And so I’m sure, several banks, many banks probably that were, let's call them secondary banks, or tertiary type banks, are being removed. They weren't Basel three compliant, and some might not have been QFs compliant on the financial system, and there were some banks that had been caught shorting silver --  shortage means believing that the price of silver will go down

And it's something that happened, and I think that was something they were not supposed to do, and I think that helped to eliminate some other banks. So you're going to see a real clearing out of certain banks and certain branches as we move forward. That happened yesterday  and after that  - at 8:20pm -   last night bond holders started to be paid out.

We found out that it was primarily what was going on internationally out of Geneva was paying certain international bond holders all day, from last night all the way through today.

Then we also found out that at 5 oclock Eastern today, that our us bond holders were to be paid out over the next four days, meaning the remaining time of today, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, they'd have them all done by Friday, and I'm sure they're still a little clean up involved in that process but that's happening out of Reno.

 So the international bonds were being handled out of Geneva and those are done from what I understand.

Now. Here's the thing about it, nobody gets access to their funds, until we are ready to get access to our funds.

So there's a tendency for everything to be lined up to go at the same time. Oh, and by the way, the way these bondholders were being paid out in our country, I know, starting today at five Eastern was from the largest account down to the smallest account.

So biggest, first in tier three, now tier three bond holders, from the largest account holders down to the smallest by Friday, and that's and they probably will get emails to tell them when, what day they'll have access to those funds.

Now, along those same lines, we're hearing from two or three pretty prominent sources that we should get notified for our exchanges with our 800 numbers, I'm hearing tomorrow and I'm hearing Thursday. Some are saying Thursday, some are saying Wednesday or Thursday.

You know, that's tomorrow. So you know we just never know. I know that we did not get an increase in Social Security yet this month - But there's a possibility,  and that is all it is  -- a possibility that on that fifth Wednesday, the 29th of this month, the additional amounts could be paid out.

However, as the regular socials went out on the first the eighth, the 15th, and tomorrow, 22nd --  there's still room for a possible final, additional social security increase on that 29th and it could be on the 29th which is a Wednesday of this month, which Be a week from tomorrow.

So we don't know absolutely that's going to be the case. We were told that it should take place in October. We've also been told that our exchanges should take place in October, this year, this this month, and this week is looking good.

We'll see what happens. You know, we do get pushed occasionally, and I think that that's just par for the course -  , but it is, let me think, if there's anything else. And you know, we are still looking for a DOGE payment in combination with an R and R payment, and we're looking for the tariff dividends also, but I just don't know. I cannot know telling us go on or not for this month.

Now, the other thing that we found out today is to keep an eye out for an EAS emergency alert system or an EBS, because I believe the legacy media satellites are being taken over and controlled by our military. We'll see what happens, but it could be that we'll see very shortly about some of the media news stations and TV stations that are just have been putting out incorrect news and incorrect information for years and years now.

So we'll see what happens on that. We'll see that's a little premature, maybe, but I want you guys to be aware, to look for something if you see anything on an EBS, EAS, and it could be the beginning, or could be just the military being able to do the news more accurately and truthfully and faithfully. What is really, really happening?

Okay, so that's really what I wanted to say about all that. Tonight. We'll see what happens. I don't have a time tomorrow or on Thursday, but let's just see if we get it.

We do plan to have a call on Thursday night hopefully it’s a celebration  call, but we'll have to see what happens, to make sure that we get that

And it's interesting that when was it? A few days ago, we heard a recording that President Trump put out on Truth Social about the Med Beds -

He actually brought him out, talked a little bit about it, and the next day it was taken off, I think a day or two later. And then the next time you heard about it was when the Secretary was asked questions about it, and the press secretary, and she entered and didn't deflect, but she more or less said, this is part of the transparency of the Trump administration.

Was put up, but then it was taken down, and I think that caused more interest than if it had saved us. So we are at the tip here on this  what's going on with the med beds

We’ll see what happens in the next couple of days? See if tomorrow or Thursday, this whole thing opens up for us. We pray that all out, And we'll talk to you Thursday. Okay, let's keep an eye on your email.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Wednesday Afternoon 10-22-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Global Reset Watch: Fault Lines Emerge in Banking, Currency, and Metals Markets

Private credit risks, currency interventions, and liquidity strains hint at a slow-motion restructuring of global finance.

The Warning Signs Are Converging

Today’s financial headlines reveal a deeper shift beneath the surface of markets — one that signals not panic, but pre-reset recalibration.
Across credit, currency, and commodities, new structural imbalances are aligning to challenge the post-1971 U.S. dollar order.

1. Bank of England Flags Private Credit as Systemic Risk

• Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey warned that the fast-growing $2.1 trillion private-credit market poses “echoes of 2008.”

• These private funds lend outside regulated banks, often with high leverage and limited transparency.

• A cascade of defaults in this sector could force central banks back into emergency interventions — reigniting questions about fiat stability and monetary independence.

2. Washington’s Currency Maneuver in Argentina

• Reports indicate the U.S. Treasury purchased Argentine pesos to support Buenos Aires amid crisis talks.

• The move marks an unusual level of direct foreign-exchange intervention by the United States.

• Using currency policy as a geopolitical instrument risks fragmenting global FX markets and hastening the rise of bilateral or commodity-backed systems (notably within BRICS nations).

3. Metals Selloff Signals Liquidity Stress

• Gold and silver fell sharply, down 5–9 percent, despite geopolitical risk.

• Institutional traders appear to be raising cash or unwinding leverage, a sign of tightening global liquidity.

• Historically, such safe-haven selloffs precede credit tightening or rate shocks — the early tremors of systemic transition.

Why This Matters

Each of these developments reflects erosion of confidence in the current financial architecture:

• Credit fragility → unsupervised leverage expansion.

• Currency interventionism → politicized markets.

• Liquidity compression → retreat from real assets.

Together, they form a pattern — a slow-motion reset of global finance where regional blocs pursue sovereign, commodity-linked frameworks to protect their monetary autonomy.

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

The Tokenized Trap: How the “New Dollar” Could Spark a Global Financial Reset

From digital debt to controlled liquidity — the architecture of a new monetary order is already being built.

A System Hiding in Plain Sight

A quiet revolution is underway — not through central banks or parliaments, but through code and corporate balance sheets.
The emergence of tokenized U.S. dollars — digital assets like USDT (Tether), USDC, and PayPal USD — is reshaping global finance faster than regulation can respond.

Promoted as tools for “fast, borderless payments,” these tokens are in fact private conduits for dollar demand, each one backed (theoretically) by short-term Treasuries and cash reserves. Every transaction, therefore, supports U.S. debt markets, creating a self-reinforcing cycle between digital liquidity and sovereign borrowing.

1. Stablecoins: The Invisible Bond Market

• Tether and Circle now collectively hold over $150 billion in U.S. Treasury bills, rivaling the foreign reserves of mid-sized nations.

• Each new token minted equals a new buyer of American debt — privatized quantitative easing without a central bank vote.

• For emerging economies, this deepens dependency: the digital dollar becomes both payment rail and debt anchor.

2. Tokenization as Control Mechanism

Unlike cash, tokenized currencies are programmable — enabling regulators, platforms, or issuers to freeze, track, or even reverse transactions.
In a liquidity crisis, such control could instantly “bail-in” users, converting deposits or tokens into sovereign assets — a digital replay of 2013 Cyprus or 1933 gold confiscation.

This represents the architecture of a controlled financial reset:

• Convert global liquidity into tokenized “digital Treasuries.”

• Centralize control under payment networks and regulated issuers.

• Gradually phase out traditional fiat and foreign reserves.

3. The Gold Hedge Paradox

Ironically, while these issuers expand their Treasury holdings, their parent firms and executives are buying gold — quietly hedging against the very system they’re constructing.
This duality — digital dollars for the public, hard assets for the insiders — mirrors late-stage fiat cycles before revaluation events.

Why This Matters

A global financial reset doesn’t require a crash — only a change in the unit of trust.
When physical dollars vanish and only tokenized ones remain, monetary sovereignty shifts to those who control the ledgers.
This could pave the way for a new hybrid monetary regime — part digital, part commodity-backed, and ultimately transnationally governed.

The scaffolding for this system isn’t theoretical; it’s operational. The only question is whether it evolves into a decentralized upgrade or a digital enclosure.

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

Private Stablecoins, Public Power: Who Controls the Future of Money?

Ripple, RLUSD, and the Quiet Redesign of Global Finance

The rapid rise of private stablecoins like Ripple’s RLUSD marks a profound shift in how money may soon function. Unlike traditional currencies issued by central banks, stablecoins are digitally backed tokens—often pegged to the U.S. dollar—issued by private corporations rather than governments.

The Decentralization Illusion

While stablecoins appear to promise decentralization, most are actually highly centralized within corporate ecosystems. Ripple, Tether, and Circle (issuer of USDC) each maintain custodial reserves, often parked in short-term U.S. Treasuries. This means that rather than escaping the current system, stablecoins extend it — just through different hands.

If Ripple succeeds in becoming a federally chartered bank, it would merge crypto-finance and traditional banking — creating a hybrid model where digital currencies circulate globally while remaining tied to U.S. debt markets.

🌱 In essence, the “new dollar” could be private, programmable, and global — but still fundamentally a U.S.-backed instrument.

If Governments Lose Monetary Control

If stablecoins or tokenized currencies became the primary medium of exchange:

• Fiscal policy power (like money creation, interest control) could shift from central banks to corporate issuers.

• Regulation and taxation would become harder to enforce unless governments integrate themselves into the new system.

• A global ledger run by a few major fintechs could replace national money systems — a true financial reset.

This wouldn’t be decentralized finance (DeFi) in the original sense; it would be corporate-controlled digital finance — a privatized version of monetary governance.

The Path Toward a Reset

• Ripple’s banking ambitions and tokenization projects by JPMorgan, BIS, and the IMF all signal a new global architecture where real-world assets, Treasuries, and currencies exist on interoperable ledgers.

• Once major economies adopt tokenized fiat, they can reprice — or “reset” — global value without a crash, simply through revaluation of digital instruments.

• The “reset” would be a software upgrade, not a collapse.

Why This Matters

The future may not be “decentralized” in the libertarian sense — but digitally centralized under private-public partnerships.
The reset is already under construction — not by central banks alone, but by those who build the rails that money runs on.

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

Frank26  If Sudani does not release the new exchange rate, especially before the elections, he might as well kiss the prime minister position goodbye.  Because not only will the citizens not vote for him, but Trump will not allow him to be prime minister.  Trump will put sanctions back on Iraq, destroy the whole monetary reform.  

Jeff    Remember the '25 budget is fully amended ready for approval.  They don't have anything left to tell you about it.  IMO they'll most likely give us very short notice...In relation to the rate change, could be the day of or...one to three days out....It's going to be very short announcement lead time from the physical timing of the rate change.

Gold & Silver Watershed Moment? Here's Why The Bull Isn't Over | Michael Pento

Liberty and Finance:  10-21-2025

Michael Pento tells Dunagun Kaiser that the sharp drop in gold and silver prices is merely a healthy correction within an ongoing secular bull market, not its end.

He explains that the Federal Reserve’s panic-driven rate cuts and quiet return to quantitative easing reveal accelerating monetary debasement, reinforcing the long-term case for precious metals.

Pento warns that the U.S. faces insolvency and inflation simultaneously, setting the stage for a bond market crisis and potential currency reset after a period of stagflation. He criticizes the traditional 60/40 stock-bond portfolio model, arguing that most Wall Street advisors are passive “asset gatherers” rather than active managers.

Pento emphasizes that gold, silver, and platinum remain essential portfolio ballast, exposing the fragility of fiat systems as the dollar’s reserve status deteriorates.

Wednesday Coffee with MarkZ.. 10/22/2025

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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 morning, MarkZ, Andy, Mods, and everyone!

Member: Our day is what we choose to make it! So I pray everyone makes it a great day!!!

Member: GM MarkZ Did the bond folk get their money?

MZ: I am running into a brick wall trying to find out what happened last night. So, no bond news yet.

Member: Fingers crossed they have got paid and have a NDA…….no news may be good news?

MZ: My contacts that are still talking have appointments today and are expecting full dollars. One had a update call last night and is now quiet……not accepting any messages.

Member: Are bond people getting paid in fiat?

MZ: Anybody getting paid now is getting paid in fiat dollars. There have been a lot of “flipping” deals or “pre-deals” ….but it was always designed to be this way. In the original plan, even the fines and penalties were going to be paid in fiat to close out the old books. Of course, after the reset it all automatically turns into asset-backed currency.

MZ: They need to clear the old books, revalue the currencies…then reset and move all currencies toward parity.

Member: I heard that international bond holders have been paid and bond holder in America were next?

Member: I hope Trump is really turning up the heat on Sudani to get this done!

Member: It is possible Sudani will hold the rv until right before the elections as a political play. Personally I think that would be a bad move.

Member: I am concerned if it doesnt get done before the elections, we may never see an RV, they will just continue to use two sets of books

Member: I believe parliament in Iraq going on a recess starting on the 26th? Elections held on Nov. 11

MZ: I know there is a tremendous push to get it done in the month of October…..a tremendous push to get it done in the next 6 or so days. This is according to my finance ministry contact in Iraq.

MZ: “The Central Bank of Iraq develops the structure of external remittances. A crucial step against manipulation and smuggling”  They are cracking down with their financial borders and working on “EXCHANGE MECHANISMS and LOCATIONS” we were told this is a step they will do before the revaluation.

Member: Frank26 said new exchange buildings have opened as of yesterday. Wonder what they will be exchanging?

MZ: That is what we have seen and that is exciting. They needed the infrastructure to handle the exchange.

MZ: “Government advisor expects gold prices to rise until the end of 2025”  this is from Saleh….and they have been very up-front in Iraq talking about how gold will support the value of their currency and how commodities will be backing their dinar. Iraq calls it the “I-Dinar” and it is gold backed, digital and uses blockchain. Physical currency is backed by the I-dinar which is backed by gold. This is very cool.

MZ: This was posted on Twitter or X. “Prime Minister Sudani received a phone call from the US Secretary of state- Mr. Marco Rubio” There is a lot of back and forth going on right now between the two men. They talk about security, stability and oil…..also about the PMF forces and the cleanup going on in the country. They are partners with the Us and the US government.

Member: Hope they are also talking about the RV.

MZ: When the US armed forces leave…then we get paid…..our forces are leaving or being redistributed..…..This is a exciting time

MZ: I know for a fact that there are some Wells Fargos that are openly talking about the currency …and some even selling it in some locations… ….Many people have seen this in person. It is piece meal…..some know nothing still…..but many bankers have been specifically trained to handle the currencies we are looking at. The process has started around the world…not just in the US.

Member: My US Bank branch keeps sending me information on Wealth management.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Peace as Policy: How Trump’s Diplomacy Aligns with the Global Financial Reset

Why cease-fires, summits, and alliances may be paving the way for a new economic order.

1. Peace as a Financial Strategy

Historically, global finance relied on instability to justify risk premiums and maintain dollar dominance. Now, a wave of diplomacy — including Trump’s Budapest summit plans with Putin, Turkey’s Gaza mediation, and U.S.–Middle East negotiations — signals a pivot: peace is becoming an instrument of economic restructuring.

By stabilizing conflict zones, nations reduce geopolitical risk, enabling smoother capital flows, cross-border investments, and adoption of new financial systems like digital currencies, gold-backed networks, and BRICS blockchain settlements.

🌱 Stable peace allows the scaffolding for global tokenized finance to function securely.

2. Building New Alliances

Trump’s approach seems focused on transactional diplomacy:

• Leveraging regional actors (Turkey, Hungary, Saudi Arabia) to mediate conflicts.

• Strengthening U.S.–Australia and U.S.–BRICS trade pathways.

• Encouraging multipolar cooperation while reducing friction with global powers outside traditional U.S. allies.

This diplomacy effectively prepares the ground for a more interoperable global financial system, where alliances support shared economic platforms rather than purely military objectives.

🌱 New alliances can accelerate adoption of interoperable currencies and blockchain-based trade settlement.

3. Converging Peace and Finance

• BRICS digital payment networks reduce reliance on dollarized trade.

• U.S. tokenized dollars and stablecoins maintain Western leverage while integrating global actors.

• Peace agreements minimize sanctions risks, allowing financial systems to scale across borders safely.

Together, these dynamics create a feedback loop: peace enables financial integration, and financial integration incentivizes continued stability.

🌱 A global reset is not just economic — it requires security, trust, and cooperation.

Why This Matters

The emerging picture: peace negotiations are inseparable from the reshaping of global finance. If successful, we may see a world where:

• Conflicts are resolved to enable trade.

• Alliances are formed to support interoperable financial infrastructure.

• Monetary systems are restructured with digital assets, gold reserves, and programmable money, aligned across borders.

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

BRICS, Blockchain, and the Birth of a Parallel System: The Architecture of a Global Reset

How the BRICS payment network and Western digital currencies may be building two halves of the same new order.

A Quiet Revolution in Currency Design

The world is moving from currencies to systems.
The newly formalized BRICS Currency Union, anchored around blockchain-based payment rails, signals a shift away from dollar-dominated financial structures — but not necessarily toward chaos. Instead, it may represent one half of an emerging dual-architecture global reset.

According to the latest BRICS declarations, the bloc’s focus is on a digital settlement network, not a new physical currency. This “BRICS Bridge” aims to connect member central banks through distributed ledgers — allowing instant trade settlement outside of SWIFT and U.S. Treasury oversight.

In parallel, the United States and allied economies are digitizing their own systems — using tokenized dollars (e.g., Circle’s USDC, Ripple’s RLUSD, and others) to maintain dollar primacy through programmable assets. In both cases, the outcome is the same: money becomes code, and all transactions flow through digital gateways.

Why BRICS Matters for the Reset

• Gold and commodities as backing: BRICS nations, led by Russia and China, have dramatically increased gold reserves and hinted at commodity-linked settlement units. This challenges the debt-backed Western model.

• Blockchain infrastructure: The “BRICS Bridge” digital network mirrors Western tokenization programs — suggesting convergence toward interoperable digital ecosystems rather than outright fragmentation.

• Strategic autonomy: For members like India and Brazil, blockchain-based payments allow flexibility — settling trade in local currencies while avoiding exposure to U.S. sanctions or interest-rate volatility.

• Timeline alignment: BRICS leaders cite 2026 as a target for operational readiness — the same window during which Western central banks, including the Federal Reserve, are piloting digital dollar frameworks.

These moves do not dismantle the old system overnight. Instead, they parallelize it — slowly replacing paper settlement and debt issuance with digital instruments tied to assets.

A Converging Endgame

Both systems — East and West — may ultimately integrate into a globally interoperable, blockchain-based network where national currencies are tokenized, transactions are traceable, and reserves are diversified into gold and strategic commodities.
If the dollar becomes fully tokenized and BRICS creates a gold-linked parallel, global liquidity could be restructured overnight through revaluation — not collapse.

This would amount to a reset: a controlled reordering of global value systems under new digital rules.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Tuesday Evening 10-21-25

The Central Bank Develops The Structure Of External Financial Transfers: A Decisive Step Against Manipulation And Smuggling.
 
Reports  Economy News – Baghdad  In a new effort to   limit the smuggling of foreign currency and   regulate foreign trade, the     Central Bank of Iraq has taken a decisive step by issuing binding instructions to    regulate the mechanism for dealing with commercial invoices in all authorized banks,   in coordination with the   Ministry of Finance and the    General Authority of Customs, within the framework of      implementing Cabinet Resolution No. (569) of 2025.

These measures are part of the national project to automate and modernize customs.
 
They aim to enhance transparency and oversight of foreign money transfers,at a time when Iraq is facing increasing challenges in   controlling the flow of funds and   intensifying regulatory measures   to curb   fraud and    smuggling.
 
As of Wednesday, January 1, 2025, the   Central Bank of Iraq suspended the electronic platform used to sell dollars      to banks and companies   at the official exchange rate of 1,320 dinars per dollar.
 
Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, Ammar Khalaf,   told reporters that the electronic dollar platform has been suspended, but that     foreign trade financing continues through banks,   according to mechanisms that parallel those in place worldwide.
 
In a related statement, the Central Bank of Iraq previously explained that  this transition went through several stages in the foreign exchange process,    beginning with the foreign currency buying and selling window,     moving on to the electronic platform for foreign transfers, and     concluding with gradual balance enhancements throughout 2024,     with full implementation occurring in the final week of that year.
 
The Central Bank of Iraq recently issued a new circular to all authorized banks,   which included detailed instructions regarding    commercial invoices whose values ​​are required to be transferred abroad,     based on the directives of the      Ministry of Finance and the      General Authority of Customs, and within the framework of      facilitating the implementation of Cabinet Resolution No. (569) of 2025.
 
According to the circular, it was decided that  the commercial invoice must include a set of basic information, most notably:   invoice number and date,   payment and shipping terms,   currency and value, the   Harmonized System of Customs (HS Code),   which must not be less than six digits, in addition to   data on the exporter and importer, and a   precise description of the goods, their   origin,      brand,   quantity,    unit of measurement,   unit price, and  total price.
 
The circular also indicated the adoption of one of two types of invoices: either the   final commercial invoice, or the   preliminary invoice   attached to the sales contract, provided that the   final invoice contains all the information included in the preliminary invoice.
 
The Central Bank confirmed that   these instructions will be officially adopted for      financial transfers and      customs clearance operations   starting November 1, 2025.
 
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial and Economic Affairs,   Mazhar Mohammed Salih, said that the      new measures announced by the Central Bank of Iraq    to prevent dollar smuggling, which   will be implemented starting next month,     "appear to be good for now."
 
"We can wait for its effectiveness,   but it looks good for now," Saleh added to Al-Eqtisad News, indicating that the      results of these measures can be evaluated after their actual implementation.

For its part, the Echo Iraq Observatory commented   on the new instructions issued by the Central Bank of Iraq      regarding the regulation of commercial invoices for   financial transfers and    customs clearance,   considering them an important step toward    enhancing transparency and     controlling financial procedures.
 
The Observatory said that Circular No. (267/4/9) dated October 15, 2025,   directed authorized banks to include in commercial invoices basic information related to   payment and shipping terms,   value and invoice currency, and the   Global Harmonized System of Customs (GHS) code, in addition to the   addresses of the importer and exporter, a   description of the goods, their   origin and trademark, in addition to the   quantity,   unit price and   total price.
 
Echo Iraq explained that the  Central Bank stipulated the adoption of one of two types of invoices: either the   final commercial invoice or the   preliminary invoice attached to the sales contract,   provided that the final invoice contains all the information of the preliminary invoice.
 
The Observatory confirmed that these instructions   will be implemented starting November 1, 2025, noting that the   decision falls within the framework of the National Automation Project,    which seeks to      regulate foreign transfers more precisely and     reduce loopholes that could be exploited for manipulation or evasion.
 
Echo Iraq considered the   new instructions a      positive step toward unifying banking and customs procedures,   contributing to reducing errors and      improving oversight of commercial transactions,    thus supporting the    Customs Modernization and Financial Governance Project in Iraq.    https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=61442    

 
Monetary Policy And Financial Stability In The Archives Of The Writings Of The Governor Of The Central Bank Of Iraq
 
Samir Al-Nusairi    The Central Bank of Iraq,   since its establishment in 1947 and until 2025,      has gone through phases of phenomena, challenges and achievements.
 
These 78 years have witnessed major transformations in   objectives,   tools,   functions and mechanisms,   particularly the shift of monetary policy      from a traditional policy      to an unconventional policy aimed at     stimulating the economy and    moving it rapidly towards economic growth,    enhancing financial stability      in accordance with new international standard criteria,    regulating the global financial system,     achieving a digital transformation methodology and    moving       from a monetary economy            to a digital economy.
 
What distinguished the Central Bank's journey were the   fundamental pillars and   foundations that were built during the years (2015-2020) and the   implementation of these pillars bore fruit in the years (2023-2025)      through the implementation of         new policies,         initiatives and         programs adopted by the Central Bank.
 
The important thing here is to   read the past,   analyze it and   build on it in      drawing a picture of the future.
 
This is achieved  when there are real economic leaders who   examine reality and   sense the future with insightful eyes      that look with great hope to      building a strong and solid national economy     based on clear foundations to achieve    comprehensive and   radical reform and a    solid, modern, comprehensive and flexible banking sector,   while revolutionizing the basic productive sectors such as     agriculture and      industry,    diversifying sources of national income     other than oil and   moving   from rentierism    to productivity.
 

In light of my review of the archive of what was written about the Central Bank,   I found that the most prominent thing in the archive    is what was written by the Governor of the Central Bank,   Dr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq,   in his books entitled   (Writings on Monetary Policy and Financial Stability),   published in 2021,  and the book(Managing the Central Bank from the Margins of the Past to the Body of the Future),   published in 2022.
 
In the first book, in 10 chapters, he explained the role of the Central Bank in   facing the economic and security challenges and shocks in (2015-2016),   presented the challenges of the general budget, and   reviewed the structure and presentation of the budget within the  framework of the macroeconomy and the      stability of public finances (2017-2021), and      reduced the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar,   its determinants and alternatives, and    concluded with the components of the desired economic development.
 
The second book discusses, in a scientific, realistic, and analytical manner,   a significant phase of the challenges faced by the Central Bank of Iraq      during the most dire circumstances Iraq has ever faced.
 
The Central Bank shouldered the burden of confronting the crises facing our   national economy and   bridging the deficit in the general budget      by rediscounting treasury transfers issued by the government,    which had a significant impact     on the decline in foreign exchange reserves    to 43 billion dinars in 2016.
 
The book includes nine chapters that address   strategic planning and   change management.
 
The emerging objectives of central banks include the   shift from rules-based to risk-based oversight, the   transition      from combating inflation   to stimulating economic growth, the   presentation of      functions,    tools,  programs, and   standards aimed at   achieving the two above-mentioned objectives, the    application of prudential oversight standards, and the    management of the central bank's foreign reserves,    which lead to a set of fundamental objectives in    enhancing confidence in     monetary policy and the    exchange rate.
 
It also includes the   features,   determinants, and   indicators of central bank independence, in addition to the   issue of selling foreign currency through the central bank's window,      as well as the   justifications,   facts, and   economic,   legal,   financial,   commercial, and   monetary phenomena behind the currency selling window.
 
It also addresses the difficult circumstances experienced   by the central bank's management in resolving the      Financial Action Task Force's (FATF) observations.
 
Chapter Seven provides   an overview of the banking sector in Iraq      as the main component of the financial system,    subject to the     supervision and    control  of the Central Bank.
 
The chapter also addresses the strategic projects implemented to  regulate and  stimulate the sector, the mechanisms for enhancing financial stability, and  clearly points to banking credit   and its utmost importance in achieving  economic and   banking reform.
 
It also presents the  vision and   programs      of the banking reform process that    we are currently witnessing.
 
The book presented a presentation of the great effortsand what was achieved within the framework of   economic reform and   financial discipline and    showed with high transparency the    features of Iraq's finances   before and    after 2003 in its total form.
 
The chapter also included Iraq's debts before and after 2003,  which is a preemptive expectation of what the Central Bank   has currently announced regarding the position of     external and     domestic debt.
 
Through my careful reading of what was included in the two books, I confirmed that Professor Al-Alaq has made a great   intellectual and   economic effort  in an accurate diagnostic presentation of the most prominent     challenges,    achievements,   structural, and   technical developments in the management of the Central Bank,  which played a fundamental and important role in  drawing the roadmap for the new fifth era of the Central Bank, which began in 2015 and is still continuing  with a steady approach and steps to achieve the objectives of  monetary policy,  support and stimulate the national economy, and   achieve complete financial stability, which is the central goal of   economic,   banking, and     financial reform.    https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=61406

BRICS Gold Glory: China’s 40-Tonne Discovery Reshapes Global Wealth Dynamics

China’s massive gold find accelerates BRICS’ push for a gold-backed trade era.

China’s Gold Boom and the BRICS Standard

China’s recent 40-tonne gold discovery in Gansu Province is sending ripples through global financial markets. The discovery — equivalent to two large-scale mines — comes as BRICS nations intensify efforts to anchor trade to gold rather than the U.S. dollar.

According to China’s Ministry of Natural Resources, additional finds in Inner Mongolia and Heilongjiang bring the cumulative increase in verified resources to 168 tonnes, marking one of the country’s largest annual reserve expansions in decades.

“The discovery provides valuable experience for future gold exploration in similar areas,” said the Gansu Department of Natural Resources.

These announcements arrive as BRICS members — Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and new entrants such as Saudi Arabia — continue exploring gold-backed settlement systems. The underlying aim: reduce reliance on Western clearing mechanisms and dollar-denominated debt markets.

Gold Reserves by Country (2025)

At present:

• United States – 8,133 tonnes

• Germany – 3,351 tonnes

• Italy – 2,451 tonnes

• France – 2,452 tonnes

• Russia – 2,333 tonnes

• China – 2,280 tonnes

As central banks offload U.S. Treasuries and purchase gold at record levels, the BRICS bloc’s combined reserves are now approaching parity with Western holdings, signaling a monetary power shift in progress.

From Trade Settlements to Monetary Strategy

BRICS nations are building alternative payment systems where transactions are settled in local currencies and backed by gold. This framework minimizes exposure to sanctions and removes counterparty risk.

For global investors, the implications are enormous:

• Gold has become a strategic hedge against fiat volatility.

• Physical reserves are now a political instrument in the emerging multipolar order.

• Trust in U.S. fiscal and monetary policy continues to decline amid rising deficits.

Strategic and Structural Implications

China’s control over rare earths, combined with its expanding gold reserves, positions it at the nexus of global commodity power. This strategy undercuts Western dominance across defense, energy, and technology sectors.

Meanwhile, U.S. policymakers face ballooning deficits and diminished leverage in resource-backed negotiations. The result is a financial realignment that favors tangible assets over debt-based instruments — a reversal of the post-1971 fiat paradigm.

Why This Matters

The BRICS gold accumulation is not just about wealth; it’s about redefining the global monetary order. As gold once again becomes the benchmark for trade credibility, nations outside the Western bloc are establishing the foundations of a new financial architecture — one that prizes tangible value over debt instruments.

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

Hidden $5.1T Debt Bomb will Dwarf 2008 Crisis

Hidden $5.1T Debt Bomb will Dwarf 2008 Crisis

Daniela Cambone:  10-20-2025

The financial news often hums with anxieties about inflation, interest rates, and global markets.

But what if there’s a ticking time bomb within the very fabric of your local community, a crisis so pervasive it threatens to dwarf the 2008 subprime mortgage meltdown?

This isn’t hyperbole; it’s the stark warning issued by Mitch Vexler, a real estate developer and whistleblower, in a recent, eye-opening video from ITM Trading.

Vexler paints a disturbing picture of the U.S. financial system, one riddled with systemic risk fueled by a massive surge in corporate debt and, more alarmingly, a deeply embedded fraud within the municipal school bond market.

This isn’t just about abstract financial instruments; it’s about the integrity of our homes, our tax dollars, and potentially, our entire economic stability.

At the heart of Vexler’s exposé is a staggering revelation: over $5 trillion in municipal school bonds have been issued nationwide based on fraudulent appraisals and sophisticated financial engineering.

 How does this work? Imagine a scenario where home values are artificially inflated, not through genuine market growth, but through manipulated appraisals. These inflated figures then become the basis for school districts to issue bonds, effectively leveraging homeowners’ properties as collateral.

This, Vexler argues, is a colossal “Ponzi scheme.” Homeowners, unaware of the manipulated valuations or the true extent of the debt being issued, are unknowingly providing the backing for bonds that they, as taxpayers, will ultimately be responsible for.

The alarming consequence? A default risk that hasn’t been seen since the brink of the 2008 financial crisis.

One of the most infuriating aspects of this crisis is the apparent failure of those tasked with oversight. Credit rating agencies, crucial gatekeepers of financial integrity, seem to have turned a blind eye.

 Vexler points out a conflict of interest: these agencies profit from the continuous issuance of debt and bonds, making them inherently disincentivized to uncover or expose the very frauds that fuel their business.

Furthermore, the mechanisms designed to ensure accurate appraisals and financial transparency are systematically bypassed. Standards like USPAP (Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice), the critical calculation of Net Operating Income (NOI), and debt service ratios – all intended to safeguard against over-leveraging and misrepresentation – are either ignored or actively manipulated.

This creates a dangerous feedback loop where inflated property values justify unsustainable bond amounts, and homeowners are left bearing the brunt of tax burdens they can no longer realistically afford.

The parallels drawn between the current municipal bond crisis and the 2007-2008 mortgage-backed securities collapse are chilling. However, Vexler emphasizes that the current situation is not just a repeat, but a significantly larger and more intricate beast.

The scale of the school bond fraud, its deep entanglement with public finance, and the involvement of essential public services like education, create a systemic risk that could have far-reaching and devastating consequences.

Vexler’s dire warning is stark: with an estimated 37% of U.S. households facing the specter of bankruptcy or foreclosure due to these inflated tax burdens, a municipal meltdown is not a distant possibility but a looming reality.

This crisis, he suggests, has the potential to dwarf the impact of the last major financial crash.

The path to rectifying this deep-seated fraud is fraught with political and legal challenges. Vexler highlights ongoing court cases aimed at exposing and correcting the deception, but obtaining transparency from school districts and government entities often proves to be an uphill battle.

His proposed solutions are bold and necessary: legislative reforms that could include repealing property taxes to alleviate the burden on homeowners, and, crucially, criminal accountability for school superintendents and appraisers who have played a role in perpetrating this fraud.

For investors looking to safeguard their assets, Vexler offers clear guidance: steer clear of the fraudulent school bonds. He advocates for safe havens such as gold, silver, and real estate assets free of debt.

The message is one of urgent warning and a call to action. Vexler stresses the critical need for federal and state intervention to cap and unwind this fraudulent debt before it spirals further out of control. Awareness is the first step, but it must be followed by decisive action to prevent a national financial dis¬aster.

This is a crisis that affects every homeowner, every taxpayer, and potentially every investor. It’s time to pay attention. Watch the full video from ITM Trading for in-depth insights and to understand the full scope of this alarming situation.
