Tishwash:  Do you know how much gold Iraq possesses? Find out where Arab countries rank!

The World Gold Council announced on Monday that Iraq and nine other Arab countries collectively possess approximately 1,498 tons of gold reserves, according to its latest data issued for the current month of November.

Five Arab countries hold the largest share

The council explained that the top five Arab countries, namely: Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Algeria, Iraq and Libya, collectively possess 1,101 tons of gold , which constitutes the largest proportion of Arab gold reserves.

As for the rest of the Arab countries included in the list, which include Egypt, Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan, their combined reserves amount to 397 tons.

Iraq strengthens its reserves and maintains its global ranking

According to the report, Iraq increased its gold reserves to 171.9 tons during August, after it had been 162.7 tons in July, which enabled it to maintain its 29th position globally among the 100 countries included in the ranking of the world’s largest gold reserves.  link

President Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid affirmed that holding the sixth legislative elections represents a new and important stage in Iraq’s political and democratic path, noting that this constitutional entitlement embodies the state’s commitment to constitutional and democratic political life.

In a statement issued on the occasion of the elections, the President said, “Our people have proven that they are worthy of continuing their civilizational achievements, and have presented a distinguished democratic model of coexistence among its various components,” calling for “active and broad participation in the electoral process as the best way to correct mistakes, address shortcomings, and develop the political system.”

He added that “electing is a national right and duty, and the Presidency has worked to support all parties concerned with implementing this national entitlement to ensure its integrity and transparency,” stressing “the importance of voters being realistic, honest and trustworthy in choosing the candidates who will represent them in the House of Representatives and be the watchful eye protecting their rights and interests.”

Tishwash:  Iraq enters the era of digital services... How has electronic payment changed the lives of citizens?

Prepared by : Mohammed Hussein Al-Abousi – President of the Arab Youth Organization

Cash transactions are no longer the preferred method of transportation in Iraq, as digital services, particularly electronic payments , have begun to rapidly transform citizens' daily lives. With the expansion of e-wallet networks and digital banks, Iraq is effectively entering the era of the digital economy , a move considered a historic shift in the country's economic and social structure.

From salaries to bills, everything has gone digital.

Data from the Central Bank of Iraq indicates a significant increase in the number of e-wallet users over the past two years, with companies like Zain Cash , Asiacell Money , and KeyCard expanding their electronic payment and transfer services across all governorates. Employees can now receive their salaries through digital applications and pay their electricity and internet bills without needing to visit government offices, saving time and effort and reducing traditional cash transactions that previously burdened citizens.

A national project to change financial culture

In this context, the Arab Youth Organization implemented a year-long national project to promote a culture of electronic payments . This included organizing training workshops in ten Iraqi governorates , with the participation of hundreds of young people from civil society organizations. The project aimed to enhance financial literacy and encourage citizens to use digital tools in their daily lives, thus contributing to the creation of a new generation better equipped to engage with modern financial technology.

Electronic payment reduces corruption and increases transparency

Economists believe that the shift towards electronic payments not only facilitates transactions but is also a crucial step in combating corruption and reducing the informal economy. Tracking financial transactions electronically limits financial manipulation and strengthens trust between citizens and government institutions.

 Furthermore, the digitization of financial transactions opens the door to investment in financial technology (FinTech) and encourages banks to adopt innovative solutions that keep pace with global developments.

Broad social impact

The effects of this transformation were not limited to the economy alone, but were also reflected in society. With the increasing use of electronic payments among young people, women, and students, a new culture emerged based on financial independence and personal budgeting, in addition to creating job opportunities in the fields of technology, customer service, and digital marketing.

Basrawi website opinion

Basrawi.com believes that Iraq is currently experiencing the beginnings of a true digital era, and that the widespread adoption of electronic payments among citizens paves the way for building a comprehensive knowledge-based economy .

It emphasizes that the continuation of this transformation requires governmental and legislative support on one hand, and the ongoing initiatives of civil society, such as the Arab Youth Organization project, on the other, to ensure that digital services reach all segments of society. link

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

AI Financial Governance — Algorithms Managing Global Risk

Artificial intelligence is increasingly shaping policy, oversight, and real-time market stability.

Overview
AI-driven governance is emerging as a critical pillar of the global financial reset. Central banks, regulators, and large financial institutions are deploying machine learning and predictive analytics to monitor systemic risk, optimize monetary policy, and ensure compliance across complex digital and cross-border markets.

Current Developments

• Central banks are using AI models for real-time stress testing, liquidity management, and fraud detection, creating a new standard for proactive oversight.

• The G20 and other multilateral institutions are drafting standards for AI transparency and accountability in financial governance, ensuring that algorithmic decisions are auditable and reliable.

• AI-enabled monitoring of tokenized assets, CBDCs, and cross-border settlements allows for instant detection of anomalies, reducing systemic exposure to shocks and enhancing market confidence.

What It Means
AI governance is essential for:

• Integrating tokenized assets and digital currencies into regulated financial systems.

• Enhancing predictive capacity to prevent crises before they cascade.

• Providing oversight across jurisdictions where traditional regulators may lack resources or expertise.

Why This Matters
Without AI governance, the speed and complexity of a tokenized, multi-currency global system could overwhelm human oversight. Properly deployed, AI becomes a stabilizing force that makes the global financial reset operationally feasible. Observers should monitor regulatory adoption of AI standards and central bank implementations as leading indicators of a coordinated reset.

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

Geopolitical Alignment — Diplomacy and Finance Converge

Global power shifts are synchronizing economic, political, and financial strategies.

Overview
Geopolitical realignment underpins the entire global financial reset. Diplomatic breakthroughs, regional alliances, and strategic engagements are increasingly tied to financial flows, debt restructuring, and currency integration. Trade, sanctions, and foreign investment are now coordinated with broader global policy objectives.

Current Developments

• The U.S. has lifted key sanctions on Syria, enabling reconstruction investments and diplomatic engagement with previously adversarial leaders.

• Germany’s presence at the BRICS summit highlights European interest in maintaining strategic dialogue with emerging economic powers.

• Tanzania’s contested elections and subsequent international scrutiny demonstrate how political stability and governance intersect with economic credibility, affecting investment and regional integration.

What It Means
Financial reset and geopolitical alignment are mutually reinforcing:

• Countries with aligned policies can participate in multi-currency trade and tokenized asset settlements.

• Diplomatic agreements reduce the risk of sanctions-driven fragmentation.

• Political stability underpins investor confidence, enabling debt restructuring and large-scale infrastructure financing.

Why This Matters
Without coordinated geopolitical alignment, the other four pillars — debt realignment, currency integration, tokenization, and AI governance — risk operating in fragmented silos. Observers should track cross-border summits, sanctions policy shifts, and regional alliances as leading indicators of a comprehensive reset.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Tuesday Afternoon 11-11-25

The Central Bank Denies Claims Of Reducing The Dinar's Exchange Rate To 4,000 Against The Dollar.

Economy | 10:02 - 11/11/2025  Mawazin News - Baghdad:   The Central Bank of Iraq denied on Tuesday claims of a reduction in the dinar's exchange rate against the dollar.

A statement from the bank indicated that "some news websites and social media outlets have circulated reports claiming to be based on a study by the Central Bank of Iraq suggesting the possibility of reducing the dinar's exchange rate to 4,000."

The bank affirmed, according to the statement, that "the report is false, and the bank continues to defend the current exchange rate, with current monetary indicators supporting this stance." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270174

The Central Bank Denies Rumors Of A Dinar Devaluation.

Baratha News Agency492025-11-11  The Central Bank denied on Tuesday (November 11, 2025) rumors of the dinar's decline, stressing that they were untrue and were not issued by any official body.

The bank's media office stated in a statement that "the Central Bank of Iraq denied the news circulating about the expected decrease in the value of the dinar to 4,000 dinars against the dollar, stressing that this information is incorrect and was not issued by any official body within the bank."

The bank called on the media and citizens to rely only on official sources and to avoid being drawn into rumors aimed at creating financial panic in the market.  https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/467604

A source clarifies: There Will Be No Change To The Exchange Rate, And The Central Bank Continues To Defend It

Baratha News Agency1282025-11-11  Some media outlets reported on a study suggesting a government plan to adjust the exchange rate in the future. However, it turned out that this plan, which was published in studies, did not originate from the central bank and dates back more than ten years.

In this context, a source from the Central Bank confirmed on Tuesday (November 11, 2025) that foreign reserves remain at comfortable levels sufficient to cover imports and enhance the stability of the financial market.

The source explained that "the Central Bank continues to defend the current rate, and that the monetary and financial indicators in the country are stable and support this trend."

This denial comes after unofficial reports circulated on digital platforms claiming that there was a government intention to adjust the exchange rate in the future.  https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/467599

Iraq Avoids Budget Deficit Thanks To One Factor... Expert Reveals The Secret 
 
Time: 2025/11/08 16:31:41 Reading: 360 times  {Economic: Al-Furat News} Economic expert, Salah Nouri, revealed that the Financial Management Law No. 6 of 2019 served as a safety valve
that saved Iraq from entering a state of financial deficit
 
by addressing cases of delay in approving the federal general budget law or its failure to be approved on the specified dates. Nouri told Al-Furat News Agency that:
 
“The Financial Management Law has addressed several cases related to the approval of the federal general budget law,” noting that  “Article 13 stipulated clear procedures to ensure the continuity of spending even if the budget is delayed beyond December 31 of the year preceding the year in which it was prepared.” 

He explained that  "the aforementioned article authorized the Minister of Finance to issue an official circular based on specific criteria,  whereby it permits spending at a rate of {1/12} or less of the total actual expenditures for current expenses for the previous fiscal year,  after excluding non-recurring expenses,  to ensure the continuity of employee salaries and the operation of government facilities without interruption." 

Nouri added that   "the same article allowed for spending from the total annual allocation for ongoing investment projects whose allocations were included during the previous and subsequent fiscal years,  according to the actual completion rates or completed stages of preparation,   with the aim of preventing the suspension of projects under implementation." 

 The economist explained that  “the third paragraph of the article accurately addressed the situation of the budget not being approved at all, as  it stipulated that the final financial data of the previous year be adopted as the basis for the financial data of the new year,   provided that this data is submitted to the House of Representatives for the purpose of approval,   which ensures the continuation of the state’s financial activity in a legal and organized manner.” 

Nouri stressed that   “this article, with its three paragraphs, represented a comprehensive solution to the situation of delaying or not approving the budget at the end of the fiscal year,” explaining that   “thanks to it, Iraq avoided falling into financial paralysis, especially since the House of Representatives had previously approved a budget for three years {2023 – 2024 – 2025},   which strengthened financial stability and contributed to regulating government spending within specific and clear ceilings.”   https://alforatnews.iq/news/العراق-يتفادى-العجز-المالي-بفضل-عنصر-واحد-خبير-يكشف-السر

Henig:  Hải Phòng speeds up establishment of specialised economic zone

November 10, 2025 - 14:43

The project to establish the zone has been submitted to the Prime Minister, and its setup is ongoing.

HÀ NỘI — Chairman of the Hải Phòng City People's Committee Lê Trung Kiên recently directed relevant agencies to speed up the establishment of a 5,300ha specialised economic zone with a total investment of more than VNĐ338 trillion (US$12.9 billion) in the city.

The project to establish the zone has been submitted to the Prime Minister, and its setup is ongoing.

The zone, which is designed with modern infrastructure and is set to become a comprehensive and multi-industry economic zone, is expected to be a driver for the city's socio-economic growth, with a contribution of about 3-4 per cent to the city's GRDP by 2030 and over 5 per cent after 2030.

It covers ​​about 5,300ha in six communes in the core area of ​​the dynamic industrial park to the west of the city: Thượng Hồng, Nguyễn Lương Bằng, Bắc Thanh Miện, Thanh Miện, Hải Hưng and Bình Giang. According to local authorities, it is a favourable location connecting the Red River Delta, where there are several industrial and commercial centres, large domestic markets and an abundant workforce, by road, waterway and airway.

It is also located on the main route of economic corridors linking Việt Nam with China, including Nanning - Lạng Sơn - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng - Quảng Ninh and Kunming - Lào Cai - Hà Nội - Hải Phòng - Quảng Ninh.

Aside from the specialised economic zone, Hải Phòng also aims to complete and approve plans for a Southern Coastal Economic Zone by the end of this year. The northern city also plans to develop a Hải Phòng City Free Trade Zone, after the Government issued a decision on establishing the zone on October 13. — VNA/VNS

Henig:  Logistics Forum 2025 seeks to unleash development potential of central Việt Nam

November 10, 2025 - 08:13

Themed “Vietnam Logistics – Rising into the New Era,” the 2025 forum reflects Việt Nam ’s aspiration to elevate the logistics industry during a period of strong transformation.

The Vietnam Logistics Forum 2025, scheduled to take place on November 28–29 in the central coastal city of Đà Nẵng, is expected to be a strategic milestone, marking a new phase of development for Việt Nam’s logistics services amidst the ongoing global supply chain restructuring and rapid digital transformation.

According to the Foreign Trade Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT), the forum, organised annually by the MoIT, aims to promote the development of logistics services, strengthen the linkage between logistics and production as well as import – export industries, and serve as a platform for dialogue, exchange of views, and updates on key domestic and international logistic issues.

 Over the course of 12 editions, it has received strong attention and high evaluation from Government leaders, ministries, sectors, local authorities and the business community for its practical significance in fostering business cooperation, attracting investment, and driving the growth of Việt Nam’s logistics industry. Themed “Việt Nam Logistics – Rising into the New Era,” the 2025 forum serves not only as a continuation of the series of annual events but also as a reflection of the sector’s aspiration to elevate Việt Nam’s logistics industry during a period of strong transformation.

 It will provide an opportunity for government agencies, experts and businesses to engage in discussions and propose measures for the sector’s development, promote the improvement of governance mechanisms and reaffirm logistics as a pillar of the national economy. On November 28, the agenda will feature field trips to ports and logistics centres in Đà Nẵng. The purpose of these visits is to showcase the logistics development potential and infrastructure in these areas.

 On the morning of November 29, a plenary session will take place, with the participation of the Prime Minister, along with representatives from ministries, sectors, and localities. In the afternoon, a thematic workshop titled “Finding Opportunities for Breakthrough Logistics in the Central Region” will be held.

This session will emphasise the strategic importance of developing infrastructure, logistics, and trade in central Việt Nam, while encouraging self-reliance and regional cooperation with neighbouring countries such as Thailand and Laos to activate economic corridors. It aims to link logistics activities more closely with actual goods circulation, laying the foundation for sustainable regional connectivity.

After the presentations, the forum will hold a Q&A session for participants to engage in in-depth discussions. Đà Nẵng was selected as the forum venue as it is a key part of the East – West Economic Corridor that connects Việt Nam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar and also serves as a gateway to the East Sea for the Greater Mekong Sub-region. In particular, the central region is believed to hold huge logistics potential which hasn't been fully tapped into.

With the upgrade of Liên Chiểu Port, the expansion of Tiên Sa Port, the North – South expressway network and Đà Nẵng International Airport, the central region is expected to become an international logistics and goods transit hub in the near future, according to the MoIT. — BIZHUB/VNA

Ariel : Iraq Dinar Update, are we Crossing the Rubicon?

Iraq Dinar Update: Are We Crossing The Rubicon? (The Changing Of The Guard) We Are Stepping Into Our Destiny

Let’s Look At Some Outlines (This Is What We Know)

U.S. Treasury’s Stranglehold on Iraqi Banking System:

Treasury operatives embedded in Baghdad dictate every major transaction, sanctioning 19 banks in 2025 alone for funneling to Tehran-backed networks. Direct correspondent bans dollar access, forcing Iraqi institutions into Treasury-vetted channels. Which is a genius move by the way.

Quarterly Dubai summits with Federal Reserve enforcers audit compliance, rewriting governance codes and digital infrastructure.

This isn’t partnership it’s ownership, ensuring no dinar move escapes Washington approval. Something we all should welcome at this juncture because they did enough foot dragging. Donald Trump put his foot down and now they are playing by rules that we are setting. I would have it no other way. It’s been long enough.

Trump’s directives echo unchallenged: Iraq repays through dinar liberation, offsetting billions poured into their systems and airports. Troops stay as collateral until Forex lights up with reinstated rates. This isn’t negotiation it’s extraction, with 2025 marking the expiration of program-rate tolerance.

The shift delivers what America built. A currency unbound, debts squared. Not to mention 24 Iraqi institutions fully vetted and seized under direct U.S. oversight, dollar access revoked from Iran-linked conduits, forcing all flows into compliant rails for uncontested rollout.

Which means top 12 proxy commanders asset-frozen and relocated, disarmament crews embedded in PMF units, clearing sovereign control for currency liberation without interference.

People listen to me. Iraq sustains the 3.00 rate through freshly unlocked oil revenues now flowing exclusively into Treasury-vetted accounts, with daily barrels hitting record pipelines that dwarf pre-war output while every dollar is captured for reserves.

So they will have the ability to support a 3.00 rate. Gold vaults in Baghdad quietly surpassed 180 tons this quarter, providing an unbreakable physical anchor that turns the dinar into a commodity-backed powerhouse no algorithm can touch.

Militia cash pipelines have been surgically severed and redirected into state coffers, flooding the Central Bank with billions previously siphoned to proxies.

The delete-zeros maneuver strips value only from internal circulation while external notes ride the full reinstatement wave, backed by Trump’s enforced repayment structure that transforms America’s rebuilt banking grid into Iraq’s permanent wealth engine.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

The Five Pillars of the Global Financial Reset — Where We Stand and What’s Still Missing

How coordinated debt, currency, and digital asset policies are converging toward a global monetary realignment.

Overview
The concept of a Global Financial Reset is no longer theoretical. Across continents, governments and financial institutions are quietly restructuring debt, piloting digital currencies, integrating trade settlements outside the dollar, and building AI-driven oversight systems. Yet, the reset remains incomplete — a work in progress that requires synchronization across what can be called the Five Foundational Pillars of the new global order.

Current Status

• Sovereign Debt Realignment: Debt forgiveness and restructuring negotiations have accelerated among developing economies, notably under the IMF’s “Resilience and Sustainability Trust” and China’s debt-for-equity arrangements in Africa and Latin America.

• Currency & Trade Integration: The rise of BRICS+ trade settlements in gold and local currencies is reshaping cross-border commerce, while the U.S. and EU accelerate their digital currency frameworks.

• Tokenized Assets: Banks are testing blockchain-based settlement layers for tokenized cash and securities — JPMorgan’s Onyx platform processed over $2 trillion in tokenized transactions this year alone.

• AI Financial Governance: Central banks now deploy AI for real-time risk monitoring, while the G20 has drafted standards for algorithmic transparency in monetary policy.

• Geopolitical Alignment: Diplomatic breakthroughs — from the U.S.–Syria sanctions thaw to Germany’s quiet presence at the BRICS summit — indicate the merging of economic and political realignments into a single framework.

What’s Still Missing
Global adoption still requires interoperability — between digital currencies, between AI governance systems, and among trade blocs. Without trust in shared regulatory and valuation systems, fragmentation remains the primary obstacle to a true “reset.” The next phase will hinge on transparency, convertibility, and coordinated AI oversight.

Why This Matters
What’s unfolding is not simply another market cycle but a structural convergence — a rewrite of how money, value, and sovereignty interact in the 21st century. The world is edging toward a single interconnected monetary ecosystem, but the synchronization of its five pillars will determine whether it stabilizes or fractures global finance.

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

Sovereign Debt Realignment — Quiet Restructuring Beneath the Surface

Debt renegotiations and strategic write-downs are redefining financial sovereignty across continents.

Overview
The global debt landscape is shifting. Over the past year, dozens of developing economies have quietly entered renegotiations under new frameworks designed to stabilize currencies and attract foreign investment. While headlines focus on trade wars and sanctions relief, the deeper restructuring — sovereign debt realignment — represents a fundamental pillar of the global financial reset.

Key Developments

• IMF-led initiatives like the Resilience and Sustainability Trust are merging with regional debt swaps and bilateral settlements that convert liabilities into tangible investments. China has reframed portions of its Belt and Road debt into equity participation, effectively creating state-backed public–private partnerships. Meanwhile, the U.S. Treasury and European institutions are experimenting with “Green Bond Offsets,” allowing developing nations to trade environmental progress for debt reduction.

• In Africa and Latin America, several nations — including Zambia, Ghana, and Argentina — have entered new hybrid repayment agreements involving commodity guarantees, signaling a move away from pure cash-based settlement toward real-asset backing. This transition points to a model of real-world collateralization rather than perpetual borrowing.

What It Means
The emerging pattern isn’t default — it’s controlled deconstruction. Major lenders are reclassifying old debt under sustainability and reconstruction mechanisms, giving nations temporary breathing room while preserving creditor influence. The next phase will likely involve digitally tracked debt instruments, allowing transparent, tokenized monitoring of repayment schedules.

Why This Matters
Sovereign debt realignment lays the foundation for everything that follows — currency integration, digital asset tokenization, and geopolitical negotiation. Without balance sheet stabilization at the sovereign level, no global reset can achieve credibility. The world’s monetary architecture is being rebuilt from its most fragile corner outward.

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

Currency & Trade Integration — The Shift Beyond the Dollar

Alternative currencies and regional settlement corridors are quietly reshaping global commerce.

Overview
Currency and trade integration is emerging as a cornerstone of the global financial reset. While the U.S. dollar remains dominant, BRICS nations, regional trade partners, and strategic commodity exporters are building infrastructure to trade outside the dollar system, supported by alternative currency settlements and gold-backed frameworks.

Current Developments

• BRICS+ countries continue piloting gold-anchored settlement systems, allowing member nations to conduct trade in local currencies backed by physical reserves. This reduces reliance on the U.S. dollar and mitigates exchange-rate volatility in high-value trade corridors.

• The European Central Bank (ECB) and other major institutions are advancing digital euro and cross-border CBDC initiatives, enhancing interoperability with tokenized cash and alternative settlement rails.

• Select central banks are signing bilateral swap agreements, expanding foreign currency liquidity to support trade in non-dollar currencies while maintaining market stability.

What It Means
A functioning multi-currency trade ecosystem would allow businesses and governments to settle international trade with greater flexibility and reduce exposure to unilateral sanctions or monetary shocks. Full adoption will require:

• Interoperable digital currency frameworks across continents.

• Legal and operational frameworks for cross-border settlements.

• Clear accounting and regulatory standards for multi-currency trade.

Why This Matters
Currency and trade integration provides the practical rails for the reset. Without functioning alternatives to dollar dominance, debt restructuring, tokenized asset adoption, and geopolitical realignment cannot fully take hold. Observers should watch the expansion of BRICS settlement corridors, digital euro pilots, and major central bank swap agreements as early indicators of a systemic shift.

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

Tokenized Assets — From Pilot Programs to Systemic Infrastructure

Digital representation of cash, securities, and commodities is redefining financial markets.

Overview
Tokenization converts physical or digital assets into blockchain-based representations, enabling instant settlement, programmable contracts, and global custody. This pillar is rapidly gaining momentum, providing the plumbing for cross-border trade and investment that supports a global financial reset.

Current Developments

• Major financial institutions and central banks are piloting tokenized cash and securities, including JPMorgan’s Onyx platform, which has processed trillions in tokenized transactions.

• Regulatory progress, such as the U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee’s draft crypto market structure bill, clarifies the scope of the CFTC and SEC, removing uncertainty around digital asset custody and settlement.

• Tokenized commodities and stablecoins are increasingly used for cross-border payments, reducing reliance on traditional correspondent banking and improving liquidity management for corporates and sovereigns.

What It Means
For tokenized assets to support a global reset, the following are critical:

• Interoperability between CBDCs, tokenized instruments, and traditional banking systems.

• Legal recognition of tokenized ownership and enforceability across jurisdictions.

• Institutional adoption of custody and settlement infrastructure at scale.

Why This Matters
Tokenized assets are not just a technological innovation — they are a necessary backbone for cross-border liquidity and settlement. Without widespread adoption, alternative trade corridors and debt realignment risk remaining fragmented. Observers should watch pilot programs scale, legislation pass, and banks integrate tokenized instruments into their core treasury functions.

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

The Debt Has Increased By HALF A TRILLION Since The Shutdown Began

The Debt Has Increased By HALF A TRILLION Since The Shutdown Began

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)   November 10, 2025

By the autumn of 1648, England had been embroiled in a chaotic and bloody civil war for more than six years.   Extreme ideological tensions in England had been building for decades over freedom of religion, plus the balance of power within government.

 King Charles was wildly unpopular. And a majority of politicians in parliament saw it as their sole mission to resist him. Many believed adamantly that parliament should rule over the king and ultimately dictate all laws in England.

 On the other side, a number of traditionalists thought parliament to be a corrupt body of liars and thieves, and they wanted to preserve the power of both church and king.

 Tensions erupted into war in 1642, eventually resulting in Charles’ capture and imprisonment.

 At that point the majority of parliament didn’t have any desire to extend the crisis any further. They felt like they had won sufficient concessions. Enough was enough. So they negotiated a peace treaty to end the civil war, much to the relief of people across England.

Unfortunately there were a number of radicals who pledged to continue the fight no matter the cost. They viewed any compromise as failure.

One of those was a little known Member of Parliament named Oliver Cromwell, who, on December 6, 1648, sent more than a thousand troops to surround the palace of Westminster and block the entrance of Parliament.

 Only the most radical members were allowed entry; the rest were either blocked or arrested.

 Cromwell’s aim was to prevent the peace treaty from being ratified; he felt that it was too soft with too many compromises. And as a result, the English Civil War continued, followed by Cromwell’s personal dictatorship, for more than a decade.

 I hope I’m wrong but I think the US is in store for a similar head fake. After more than a month of the shutdown, there were signs over the weekend that a compromise had been reached in the United States Senate.

 But the theater began almost immediately after, with the radical Left vomiting all over the deal and insisting that they would “continue to fight.”

 My sense is that while a lot of people may believe that the government shutdown is nearly over, this may in fact just be another miss, just like England’s ‘almost’ peace treaty in 1648. There’s a good chance this compromise will be blocked by aggressive radicals in Congress.

 To say this is a national embarrassment is a massive understatement. And at this point it’s nearly all branches of government and institutions chipping away at the remaining dignity of America.

 One of the things that I find most bizarre is how many prominent radicals seem to think their shutdown is “winning the hearts and minds of the American people.”

 They believe this because of last week’s gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia in which the candidates from their party won.

 Now, the combined margin of victory of both candidates was about one million people. There are roughly 350 million people in the United States.

Yet, in the mind of a Leftist radical, one million voters in two states speak for 350 million Americans in 50 states, and therefore they have a moral mandate to keep “fighting” while the government remains closed.

 This raises a key question: fighting for what?

 Well, they claim to be fighting for healthcare affordability. Coincidentally this is the same party that passed Obamacare more than a decade ago— during which time the cost of health insurance in the US has soared above and beyond the already uncomfortably high rate of inflation.

 Strange, considering that the actual name of the legislation was the Affordable Care Act. Yet it seems to have only made healthcare less affordable.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Carbon Markets at a Crossroads: Article 6 or a New Era?

Emerging-economy bloc must choose between a unified internal trading system or full integration with multilateral carbon markets.

Overview
The BRICS carbon-markets partnership—launched at the 2024 Kazan summit—now stands at a pivotal decision point: will member states build a bespoke intra-BRICS credit-trading regime via mutual recognition of registers and standards, or will they align with the multilateral framework of Paris Agreement Article 6? The question carries major implications for climate diplomacy, trade, and financial flows in the global economy. 

Key Developments

• The Kazan declaration described the partnership as a platform for “potential intra-BRICS cooperation on carbon markets to exchange views on potential cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement among the BRICS countries.” 

• By early 2025, eight out of eleven BRICS-group countries had established a voluntary carbon-credit market, with two others finalising regulatory frameworks. 

• Significant divergence exists in national approaches: e.g., China rejects foreign registries and only allows domestic projects; other members like Brazil and South Africa convert credits from international registries (Verra, Gold Standard) into national systems. 

• Credit-price disparities: about US$14 per credit in Beijing versus under US$3 in Indonesia—highlighting major structural differences. 

• BRICS leaders formally opposed unilateral green-protectionism measures, including carbon border adjustment mechanisms (CBAM), reinforcing their preference for a system designed by emerging economies. 

• Meanwhile, the international framework under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement (including Articles 6.2 and 6.4) is increasingly operationalised—offering an alternative path to market cooperation. 

Why It Matters
This moment matters because the decision will shape how carbon-credit flows, climate finance and trade linkages evolve among major emerging economies—and how they interact with the established Western-dominated climate-finance system.

If BRICS members opt for a self-contained recognition regime, we may see a parallel carbon-market architecture outside the dominant frameworks. Conversely, alignment with Article 6 could integrate BRICS into the global carbon-market infrastructure, boosting transparency and linkage with global capital flows—but also potentially ceding some regulatory sovereignty.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Markets — Carbon credits are not just climate instruments; they are becoming tradeable assets that factor into real economic flows across borders.

• Pillar: Finance — The structure of credit-generation and trading impacts capital-investment decisions in emerging economies, and affects how climate risk is priced.

• Pillar: Currency & Reserve System — If BRICS currencies or regional credit-settlement systems end up being used in carbon-trade settlement, this could erode the dominance of dollar-settled frameworks.

• The deeper point: the interplay of climate-markets, trade-regulation and financial architecture means that the global reset is not only about money and states, but about how value is created and transferred in a decarbonising world.

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

Legislative Elections Are A Political Guarantee For Economic Growth And Stability.

Dr. Haitham Hamid Mutlaq Al-Mansour   Economy News — Baghdad  Legislative elections in Iraq are a pivotal part of the political process, as they are the legal and legitimate link that ensures the peaceful transfer and transformation of power and works to achieve the necessary prerequisites and basic requirements for the process of building the state in all its parts and the proper growth of society.

The impact of elections on the economy is tangible, but indirect, by conferring legitimacy on the government resulting from elections with strong public approval and legislative parliamentary consensus, from which it derives the necessary legitimacy to make crucial reform decisions, such as reducing subsidies, restructuring the public sector, stimulating the private sector, reducing rent-seeking, and expanding sources of income or GDP.

However, weak voter turnout in elections undermines this legitimacy and reflects a loss of confidence in ruling parties and elites. Framing political conflict rather than resolving it often leads elections to redistribute power among political elites (a recalibration of power) instead of bringing about change or improvement in the landscape of achievement.

This is compounded by the stagnation of the existing political system, which creates fragile alliances that hinder the formation of governments incapable of implementing a long-term strategic vision for economic reform.

The electoral programs presented by political parties and blocs largely lack clear funding frameworks and specific implementation mechanisms. Furthermore, promises to create jobs and combat corruption are likely to remain mere slogans in the absence of realistic financial plans and measurable performance indicators.

However, with the growing political activism, the continued practice of political experimentation, and the clear improvement in the government's performance in providing essential services and completing a significant portion of important projects—despite numerous shortcomings—optimism prevails that the electoral competition between political parties and blocs of all stripes and orientations could produce a bloc capable of reforming the government.

This bloc would undertake the task of advancing the country and building upon past achievements by embracing the requirements of the transition towards development and investment.

This would transform elections from mere political representation into a genuine catalyst for stability and economic growth, through a commitment to implementing several key elements of the state's policy and government program.

1. Political Will to Combat Corruption: The incoming government must possess the political will to confront the entrenched corruption networks within state institutions. This requires strengthening oversight bodies such as the Integrity Commission and the Financial Control Bureau, granting them greater executive powers.

 It also necessitates working towards the success of systems like the Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS), which ensures transparent and auditable financial operations.

2. Structural reform of the economy: There must be a serious shift from a rentier, oil-dependent economy to a diversified one. This requires redirecting public spending from current consumption to investment in infrastructure projects that stimulate the private sector.

3. Active community participation and oversight: Sustained pressure from citizens, independent media, and civil society organizations can play a pivotal role in holding the government accountable and demanding transparency. Demanding the publication of contracts and monitoring project budgets can prevent the waste of public funds.

To ensure that the elections produce a government capable of leading economic development, its policies must focus on building strong and stable institutions by concentrating on the following steps:

1. Reforming the legislative framework: Iraq needs to adopt a "sound legislation" approach to ensure that laws are coherent, enforceable, and meet the real economic needs of society. Laws should focus on promoting transparency, combating corruption, and protecting property rights.

2. Structural reform of the economy: The primary objective is to transition from an oil-dependent economy to a diversified economy. This requires a national plan to develop non-oil sectors such as agriculture, industry, trade, tourism, and services.

3. Stimulating the private sector and investment: This can be achieved by building a policy to support procedures for opening companies, reducing taxes on new and productive investments, and providing credit facilities for small and medium enterprises.

4. Public Finance Reform: Restructuring government spending to reduce current expenditures and increase the share of investment spending in infrastructure, education, health, and other sectors that would create a solid foundation for long-term growth. Working towards harmonious formulation of fiscal and monetary policies to reduce overlap and minimize the negative effects of their intersection, and even unifying fiscal objectives and striving for a common economic vision between them.

In short, parliamentary elections are a necessary but not sufficient condition for achieving economic stability in Iraq. They represent a window of opportunity for change, but the real guarantee lies in changing the political rules that govern the equation, building a national consensus on a long-term reform program, and creating a new relationship based on transparency between citizens and the government.https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62145

Oil Rises Amid Moves To End Historic US Government Shutdowny

Economy | 09:11 - 10/11/2025  Mawazin News - Follow-up:  The US Senate is moving toward a vote to reopen the federal government, and oil prices have risen amid optimism that the historic government shutdown, now in its 40th day, will end.

Oil prices climbed on hopes that the US government shutdown could end soon and boost demand in the world's largest oil consumer, offsetting concerns about rising global supplies.

Brent crude futures rose 47 cents, or 0.74 percent, to $64.10 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude futures reached $60.25 a barrel, up 50 cents, or 0.84 percent.

Ending the historic US government shutdown, now in its 40th day, is within reach as the Senate moved toward a vote on reopening the federal government on Sunday.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=270045

Derivatives, US Debt, and the Dollar’s Last Stand

GOLD RUSH HOUR: Derivatives, US Debt, and the Dollar’s Last Stand

Taylor Kenny:  11-9-2025

Whispers of instability are growing louder, not just from the fringe, but from within the very heart of global finance.

 If you’ve felt a nagging sense that something significant is shifting beneath the surface of our economic world, you’re not alone. A recent video discussion from ITM Trading delves deep into these escalating financial and economic challenges, painting a compelling picture of a world on the cusp of a “Great Gold Reset.”

This isn’t just about market fluctuations; it’s about a monumental structural transformation, and gold is being positioned right at its epicenter.

The conversation begins with a stark observation: China’s relentless accumulation of gold. This isn’t just a casual investment; it’s a strategic, multi-faceted move, executed both openly and through undisclosed channels. Why?

 Because China, and increasingly other nations, seem to be anticipating a major upheaval in the global financial order. Their gold hoard isn’t merely a commodity purchase; it’s a foundational step towards a new monetary reality.

At the core of this looming instability lies the unsustainability of U.S. debt. We’re now talking about annual interest payments exceeding an astronomical $1 trillion. Think about that for a moment – money spent solely on servicing past debt, money that could fund critical infrastructure, education, or innovation.

Compounding this is the Federal Reserve’s delicate dance. The end of quantitative tightening (QT) – a process meant to shrink the Fed’s balance sheet – is viewed by many as a potential precursor to a return to aggressive money printing (quantitative easing, or QE).

 This “printer go brrr” scenario, while potentially staving off immediate crises, only inflates the existing debt bubble, devalues the currency, and fuels long-term instability.

The dialogue draws chilling parallels to the 2008 financial crisis, but with a critical difference: the underlying risks today might be even more pervasive and less understood.

The culprits? Opaque derivatives markets, shadow banking, and an array of risky debt instruments. These financial wildcards remain largely unregulated and their potential impact catastrophically underestimated. Imagine a financial system where the biggest threats lurk in the unseen corners, growing quietly in the dark.

Perhaps the most profound topic discussed is the potential erosion of the U.S. dollar’s status as the global reserve currency. This would be a historic, once-in-a-generation shift with ramifications for every corner of the globe.

It’s within this context that the “Great Gold Reset” truly takes shape.

Nations like China and members of the BRICS alliance (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and soon others) aren’t just buying gold; they’re actively developing new systems for gold clearing and pricing.

The vision? Gold as the centerpiece of a new global monetary order, a more stable, asset-backed alternative to a debt-laden fiat system.

For those who already own gold, the advice from the experts is clear: hold your gold. This isn’t the time to panic sell. As the crisis deepens and monetary systems face increasing pressure, gold is expected to rise significantly.

 Its role as a protective, counter-cyclical asset becomes paramount. Hold it until conversion is truly necessary, for its intrinsic value and historical resilience will be your strongest shield.

This isn’t just an economic blip; it’s a “Fourth Turning” moment, as referenced by Strauss and Howe, or part of Ray Dalio’s “Big Cycle” – a historical pattern of collapse and rebirth. These periods are characterized by profound societal and economic transformations, often turbulent, but ultimately leading to a new order.

While the future remains uncertain and daunting, the human element isn’t lost. The discussion emphasizes the importance of personal financial control through gold ownership.

It’s about empowering individuals to navigate chaos, providing a tangible asset that offers both protection and opportunity when traditional systems falter.

In these transformative times, understanding these shifts isn’t just academic; it’s essential for safeguarding your financial future.

 And even amidst talk of global resets and economic upheaval, a Nickelback concert offers a brief, glorious escape – proving that even in the face of monumental change, a little levity (and maybe a good investment in gold) can help us get through.
