Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 11-16-25

Foreign reserves are a pillar of monetary stability
Economic 16/11/2025  Baghdad: Al-Sabah  Economic researcher Dr. Nabil Rahim Al-Abadi explained that foreign currency reserves have reached approximately $100 billion,which    covers the issued local currency amounting to about 98.4 trillion dinars,    registering a decrease of 3.8% compared to the same period last year.  

The period from 2024. 

Al-Abadi added in an interview with Al-Sabah that the decline in the value of the local currency contributed to a    decrease in the inflation rate to 0.8%, a    decrease of 76% compared to 2024,    which had a significant impact on maintaining the general price level.

 He added that   foreign reserves at their current rate are sufficient to cover the equivalent  of 18 months of imports, in addition to the fact that the precautionary reserve of gold reached about 167 tons,    which ranks fourth in the Arab world and thirtyth globally    according to the World Gold Council, noting that it     constitutes an important part of Iraq’s foreign reserves, as it recorded a large growth rate of 55% until the first half of 2025, as   its value reached about 22.8 trillion dinars compared to   its value of 14.7 trillion dinars in the second half of 2024, and that the safe investments of the reserves contributed greatly to the    growth of investment portfolios, accompanied by good    growth rates in returns to investment portfolios. 

He stressed that  the growth rates achieved in foreign reserveswere consistent with the Central Bank’s plan to    enhance returns and    build capacity in the field of self-management of reserves,  which enabled the    establishment of international banking relationships and the    entry into agreements and memoranda of understanding with   classified global banks,  reputable financial institutions,   international financing and consulting organizations, the   Arab Monetary Fund, and    international institutions concerned with investment management.

Tishwash:  US State Department: Elected Iraqi leaders have the authority to form the next government

 The US State Department confirmed on Saturday that the parties and political forces that won the sixth parliamentary elections in Iraq, which were recently held, can proceed with forming the new federal government.

A spokesperson for the US State Department congratulated the Iraqi people on the "peaceful" elections, adding that "their elected leaders now have the sovereign authority to determine the formation of the next Iraqi government."

He affirmed that "we will continue to strengthen US-Iraqi relations based on mutual respect and common interests."

Last Thursday, the US President’s Special Envoy to Iraq, Mark Savva, offered his sincere congratulations to the Iraqi people on the successful completion of the recent parliamentary elections, considering it “a fundamental step to strengthen democracy and stability in the country.”

The US envoy affirmed that "the United States remains strongly committed to supporting Iraq's sovereignty, reform efforts, and reducing foreign interference and armed groups," noting that his country "looks forward to working with the Iraqi government to deepen the strategic partnership in the areas of security, energy, and development, and to contribute to building a stable and prosperous future for all Iraqis."

On the ninth and eleventh of November, Iraq held special and general voting in the parliamentary elections for the sixth parliamentary session, as part of a democratic practice in the political process that emerged after 2003 through the overthrow of the former Baath regime by the forces of the United States of America and its allies.  link

Tishwash:  Government advisor: Amending the Commercial Agency Law supports Iraq's requirements for joining the World Trade Organization

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Sunday that the Cabinet’s approval of the draft law amending the Commercial Agency Regulation Law would support Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization and improve market efficiency by reducing prices and raising the quality of goods, as well as supporting investment and integration into the global economy. 

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “The first amendment to the existing Commercial Agency Regulation Law represents an important legislative reform that enhances competitiveness, improves the quality of goods and services, and supports investment and integration into the global economy,” noting that “the amendment also contributes to building a more disciplined and equitable market, which will directly impact economic growth and consumer protection in Iraq.”

He added that "this amendment comes to address the gaps that appeared during the application of the law since 2017, whose main goal was and still is to promote and regulate commercial activity and improve the business environment in Iraq."

He explained that “the motives for the amendment are directed towards important axes, including addressing cases of actual monopoly by some commercial agencies in key sectors such as sensitive devices, consumer goods, and others, as well as the need for more precise regulation of the relationship between foreign companies and local agents in accordance with international standards, with the necessity of raising the level of transparency and disclosure in registering agencies and documenting their contracts,”

Noting that “all the contents of the amendment are consistent with the need to protect the consumer from substandard goods and weak after-sales services, as we have explained, which drain the consumer and the national economy.”

He stated that "the amendment comes to support the state's direction towards improving the investment environment and attracting global companies directly to the national market."

He stated that "the most prominent aspects of the amendment are based on opening the field to greater competition between agents and preventing disguised monopolies, tightening registration and auditing procedures for commercial agencies through the Ministry of Commerce

In addition to clearer and stronger regulation of contracts between the local agent and the foreign supplier, which enhances the rights of both parties, and obligating agents to higher standards of quality, warranty and maintenance, as well as strengthening governmental and tax oversight and digitization in agency procedures, and providing an important entry point towards building a competitive and fair market away from the dominance of closed agencies, and supporting the requirements for the country's accession to the World Trade Organization by enhancing transparency and competition."

He added that "amending the law also leads to strengthening national supply chains, encouraging local manufacturing, and establishing a stable and attractive legal environment for foreign direct investment that is consistent with global quality standards in developing the business environment, which is the focus of the World Bank and international trade and economic organizations."

He pointed out that "the implications of amending the existing Commercial Agencies Regulation Law are embodied in providing important economic pathways, foremost among them improving market efficiency by reducing prices and raising the quality of goods as a result of increased competition, in addition to attracting new international companies and brands to the Iraqi market

Reducing the restrictions imposed by monopolies, stimulating local investment in the fields of distribution, logistics and commercial services, in addition to protecting the consumer and providing better products with more committed after-sales services, and increasing state revenues by controlling tax compliance and regulating import operations  link

Preliminary results announced by the Independent High Electoral Commission showed that al-Sudani and nine members of his government won, while four other ministers lost despite receiving thousands of votes.

The Independent High Electoral Commission of Iraq announced on Wednesday evening that the “Reconstruction and Development” alliance, led by Al-Sudani, had made significant progress in the preliminary results, achieving 1,317,346 votes in 12 out of 18 governorates. The Progress Party, headed by former Speaker of Parliament Mohammed Al-Halbousi, came in second, and the State of Law Coalition, led by former Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki, came in third.

According to election monitoring organizations, Shiite lists obtained 187 seats out of the total number of seats, including some seats within Sunni lists.

The tables also showed that Sunni lists won 77 seats, while Kurdish lists won 56 seats, and Yazidi candidates won one seat.  link

Militia Man  Iraq is ready...Facts:  $112 billion in reserves which is cash, gold and savings.  Digital money system has been tested and working...The budget for 2026 already prepared.  We haven't seen '23, '24, '25 budget schedules yet, right? So how do they have '26 prepared?  Means they probably have something prepared for the '26 budget and I believe that's going to be a new exchange rate.

​ Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY: The Central Bank of Iraq has been talking to us every day about the eventuality transition to a basket of currencies to stabilize the dinar, though it's in the planning stages.  We don't agree to that because they are talking about it to us right now...The CBI confirmed the idea of removing the three zeros, a redenomination, is something they're still working on.  They have got the green light from the US Federal Reserves for dollar supplies which should help keep it stable but they're telling us we're moving to a basket of global currencies.  They say this is the next step they are considering down the line...after they got the redenomination.  FRANK:  These reports are really fantastic...It's what we've dreamed about.  Everyday I wake up with a big smile on my face...It's just amazing.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Reset Weekly — Key Real Developments (Mid-November 2025)

Monetary realignment deepens as central banks pivot to strategic reserves and de-dollarization.

Overview

• Global central banks are continuing to accumulate gold at historically high levels, signaling a structural rebalancing of reserve assets.

• The dollar’s grip is loosening, as some investors question its long-term primacy and nations hedge using non-dollar instruments.

• These moves reflect an intensifying shift toward a multi-asset, de-dollarized financial architecture — major pillars in the global reset.

Key Developments

• According to the World Gold Council, central banks have added 634 tons of gold year-to-date (Q3 2025), a volume well above pre-2022 averages. 

• Emerging market central banks remain among the top buyers: Poland, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and others continue to top the list. 

• According to Wedbush analysis, gold accumulation is part of a deliberate “structural reserve realignment,” with central banks shifting away from dollar-dominated holdings. 

• Gold purchases rebounded in August after a brief pause in July — central banks added another 15 tonnes that month, per IMF-based data. 

• Survey data notably show 95% of central banks expect to increase their gold reserves in the next 12 months — underlining the long-term nature of this trend. 

• Simultaneously, the U.S. dollar has weakened: The DXY (dollar index) dropped to a three-year low, fueling debate over de-dollarization. 

Why It Matters

These developments are not just incremental: they reflect a tactical breakout from the dollar-centric system. By aggressively accumulating gold, central banks are building a real-asset foundation for future financial resilience. This shift could undermine long-standing reserve paradigms and reshape global power in markets and trade.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Reserve Asset Transformation
Gold’s resurgence suggests that central banks are protecting against dollar risk while building stores of value that can weather macro shocks.

Pillar 2 — De-Dollarization & Currency Realignment
A weakening dollar coupled with strategic reserve diversification points to a gradual erosion of dollar dominance — and the rise of alternative monetary frameworks.

Pillar 3 — Strategic Stability Through Real Assets
Gold is not just a store of value — its accumulation signals a strategic buffer for nations seeking independence from traditional financial pressures.

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

~~~~~~~~~~

Sovereign Gold Buying Signals the End of the Old Market Order

Central banks reshape the foundation of global markets as demand for real assets accelerates.

Overview

• Gold is entering a structural bull phase driven by central bank accumulation, not retail speculation.

• A three-year low in the U.S. dollar index is accelerating demand for non-dollar hedging assets.

• These shifts indicate a long-term market rebalancing aligned with global reserve realignment.

Key Developments

• Central banks purchased 634 tons of gold year-to-date, according to the World Gold Council — one of the highest volumes ever recorded.

• Gold demand rebounded in August as banks added another 15 tons, reversing the July slowdown.

• Analysts at Wedbush identify this trend as part of a “structural reserve realignment,” moving global liquidity out of dollar-dominated instruments.

• The U.S. dollar index hit a three-year low, amplifying gold’s attractiveness for sovereign diversification.

• Survey data show 95% of central banks plan to increase gold reserves in the coming year — strengthening long-term bullish positioning.

Why It Matters

Markets are signaling a fundamental shift away from a dollar-centric reserve system. Gold is reclaiming its historic role as a stabilizing anchor, reducing exposure to fiscal volatility, currency wars, and debt-driven uncertainty.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Real-Asset Reserve Anchors
Gold accumulation strengthens national resilience and reduces vulnerability to dollar liquidity cycles.

Pillar 2 — Market Repricing Through De-Dollarization
A weakening dollar paired with gold accumulation suggests a long-term repricing of global markets.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Morning 11-16-25

Self-Sufficiency Is The Foundation Of Development. 
 
Economic 16/11/2025  Yasser Al-Mutawalli
 
Self-sufficiency is a major and broad concept in the lexicon of economic theories of all kinds, whether
   totalitarian,
   capitalist or mixed,
      because it is the basis of
         development and its
         sustainability.

Our country’s declaration of achieving self-sufficiency in
   gasoline,
   kerosene, and
   gas oil is an important and significant achievement in
      embodying the concept of self-sufficiency, and as a
      fundamental basis for driving development elements,
 
given the importance of this declaration in the economic feasibility of managing one of the main economic management facilities,
 
as the great efforts in this field resulted in the government’s decision to stop importing petroleum products after achieving self-sufficiency in
   gasoline,
   gas oil (kerosene), and
   kerosene.
 
However, there will still be a need for a reasonable review in determining the efficiency of oil refineries, with the importance of providing strategic stores and reserves of energy products to avoid problems of holidays and block the way for sometimes fabricated product crises, as well as imposing strict control over the quality of the product.
 
Overall, this great achievement is an indicator of the optimal investment in energy resources and their preservation from waste.
 
This achievement deserves praise and pride for the numerous gains it will bring in terms of savings in hard currency, as well as diversifying sources of income.
 
It was surprising that the oil-rich country had been importing its oil derivatives for energy since 2003, for two decades.
 
We have been and still are pointing out in most of our articles the importance of investing our resources 

through the establishment and expansion of giant refinery projects, and finally the 

new projects have been put into operation with efficient production capacity and very good quality.
 
Perhaps the most prominent benefit that emerges from this achievement is that
what has been achieved is beyond imagination, as
we have reduced the process of
   exporting quantities of oil at low prices and
   then importing its derivatives at high prices.

If we add the government support for the derivatives that were being wasted,
then you can imagine the size of the differences achieved by this accomplishment,
which will contribute to strengthening the resilience of our national economy.
 
This achievement comes on the eve of the end of 2025, and
we had indicated that the most prominent achievement during this year was the Iraq Vision (2025-2050).
 
Today, this achievement, which I mean self-sufficiency in oil products,
comes to crown the most prominent achievement as one of the most important foundations of economic construction to implement our country’s vision on the
path of sustainable development and to guarantee its future.
 
We believe that this great achievement is so important that
it should not go by without focusing on its great significance,
especially by the economic media, making it
   a slogan and
   a source of pride in our national product.
 
Congratulations to our Iraq and our people on this initial step and a
successful start to
   progress and
   economic prosperity.

Return to Reality as Commodities and Real Assets Boom

Return to Reality as Commodities and Real Assets Boom

WTFinance:  11-15-2025

The current market feels dizzying. Are we riding a revolutionary AI wave to perpetual new highs, or are we standing on ground prepared by historical patterns of asset bubbles and inflation?

To help navigate this critical juncture, the WTFinance podcast recently welcomed back Wasif Latif, President and CIO of Sarmaya Partners. With 25 years of experience managing global multi-asset portfolios, Latif offered a compelling argument:

The market is currently undergoing a profound secular shift, and while the spotlight shines brightly on high-flying technology, true investment opportunity lies in tangible assets—commodities, energy, and precious metals.

Here is a breakdown of Latif’s insights into the present economic landscape, historical parallels, and the necessary portfolio adjustments for the coming decade.

Latif cautions investors against being mesmerized solely by the tech narrative. While technology innovation is real, the valuations often detach from reality when structural macroeconomic pressures are ignored.

In this environment of persistent inflation and rising interest rates, the traditional model of high-growth, cash-burning technology companies becomes inherently vulnerable. When capital is expensive, the companies that own inflation-protected assets thrive.

If the secular trend is shifting away from tech dominance, where should investors look? Latif points unequivocally toward assets that benefit from inflation and supply constraints.

This imbalance—persistent demand colliding with constrained supply—suggests that energy prices are structurally elevated, making commodity-oriented equities and energy producers prime beneficiaries.

Perhaps the most potent signal of a shift in global risk perception is the behavior of central banks. Latif highlights the ongoing, strategic accumulation of gold by central banks worldwide.

This institutional demand creates a strong, sustained floor for precious metal prices, making gold an essential component of a globally diversified portfolio navigating geopolitical uncertainty.

Latif’s overarching advice is simple yet profound: History provides the roadmap. Investors must look beyond the immediate headlines and understand that cycles turn. The dominance of U.S. growth stocks that defined the last decade is now giving way to a new cycle favoring tangible assets.

He warns against assuming that today’s tech boom will sustain itself indefinitely, especially when fundamental indicators point to structural inflation and strategic shifts toward commodity ownership.

A prudent portfolio strategy today requires aligning with this secular trend—meaning a thoughtful reallocation toward energy, raw materials, industrial commodities, and precious metals.

This summary captures only a fraction of the deep historical and market insights offered by Wasif Latif.

To understand the full details of this monumental market shift and gain critical perspective on navigating the current economic cycle, be sure to watch the full video interview from WTFinance.

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Updates for November 14th, 2025

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Updates for November 14th, 2025

11-14-2025

The latest weekly revaluation (RV) report from Jon Dowling, dated November 14th, 2025, dropped an extraordinary level of detail, painting a picture of accelerating shifts across global finance and specialized geopolitical hotspots.

This episode didn’t just speculate; it delivered crucial confirmations and stark warnings about the turbulent months ahead.

From the establishment of an “Iraq First” agenda to confirmed training on the new Quantum Financial System (QFS) overseas, here are the critical takeaways for anyone tracking the impending global financial reset.

The geopolitical stability of Iraq remains the cornerstone of the revaluation narrative. The report highlighted the major victory secured by Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani’s coalition in the recent parliamentary elections. This victory firmly entrenches an “Iraq first” nationalist agenda, prioritizing internal reconstruction and the full restoration of economic sovereignty.

This focus is essential. The host emphasized that U.S. support for Iraq’s domestic process remains strong, countering ongoing efforts by external influences (specifically Iranian) to derail progress.

The success of Sudani’s government in prioritizing stability is understood to be the final lock needed before Iraq can fully restore its currency value and reintegrate into the global financial system on its own terms.

Perhaps the most significant confirmation shared in the report came via a subscriber testimony from Vietnam.

This testimony confirmed that local Vietnamese bankers are actively undergoing training on the new Quantum Financial System (QFS). This is not just theoretical awareness; it is active preparation for the incoming structure that will underpin the global currency reset.

The fact that localized training on the QFS and upcoming currency revaluations is being conducted on the ground confirms that the global shift is no longer a distant possibility but an imminent reality. This provides tangible evidence that the infrastructure for the universal financial transition is rapidly falling into place.

The Dowling report delivered sharp warnings regarding the current state of U.S. financial markets, suggesting a rapid unwind is on the horizon.

The Market Strategy Warning: The discussion included an urgent rallying cry from financial strategist John Nego, who called on President Trump to temporarily pause short selling and naked short selling activities.

The argument centers on the need to protect American wealth from corrupt brokers allegedly linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), who utilize these tactics to suppress market value.

Quantitative Easing (QE) and the Crash Prediction: The host explained Quantitative Easing as a temporary mechanism designed solely to prop up the economy just long enough to manage a controlled—or semi-controlled—implosion. This unsustainable activity has inflated a massive “bubble” that is predicted to reach its breaking point by January. Investors are strongly advised to prepare for significant market volatility and a sharp downturn.

The convergence of new financial technology (crypto) and traditional assets (commodities) featured heavily, revealing a mixed outlook.

While the global reset narrative is bullish for digital assets, the host warned that internal manipulation, primarily carried out by AI bots on major exchanges, has suppressed portfolio growth. This ongoing suppression is deliberately driving down prices.

However, a massive bullish cycle is predicted soon, driven by the implementation of new international financial regulations (specifically ISO 20022). Once these digital assets become fully compliant with the new global standard, a window for significant profit-taking is expected to open swiftly.

The report also touched upon a fascinating scientific development out of China: researchers successfully developed a material that mimics the properties of gold, crafted from copper. While this advance could theoretically complicate the gold market, the host underscored silver’s unique position. Silver’s value is protected by its irreplaceable isotopes, making it fundamentally essential for critical industrial and technological applications—a feature that cannot be replicated by copper mimicry.

Jon Dowling’s November 14th report emphasizes a world on the cusp of dramatic, permanent change. From the political foundation being laid in Iraq to the confirmed operational rollout of the QFS in Asia, the signals point toward an imminent transition.

While the warnings about financial market collapse are serious, the introduction of new financial standards (QFS, ISO 20022) suggests that while the old system is slated for demise, the regulatory and technological framework for the new era is already being finalized.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Saturday Afternoon 11-15-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

The New Payment Order: Nations Build Rails Beyond the U.S. Dollar  

The world is separating from single-currency dependence — fast.

Overview

• New digital settlement rails and bilateral trade channels are increasing worldwide.

• Local-currency trade agreements now dominate Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

• Tokenized assets and cross-border digital ID systems accelerate settlement efficiency.

Key Developments

• BRICS “Unit of Account” draft finalized, focusing on settlement baskets rather than a circulating currency.

• ASEAN and Gulf states expand local-currency energy trade, reducing USD exposure.

• SWIFT upgrades cross-border CBDC interoperability, ensuring Western financial institutions remain competitive.

Why It Matters

The world is building parallel payment rails that reduce dependency on one reserve currency — a defining hallmark of systemic transition.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Multi-Currency Settlement Systems Go Mainstream
Trade is shifting to local currencies, digital tokens, and commodity-linked contracts.

Pillar 2 — Infrastructure Becomes the New Reserve Asset
Countries storing value in ports, pipelines, grids, and digital networks are replacing the old model of storing value in paper debt.

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

Ethiopia’s BRICS Entry Rewires Africa–MENA Diplomacy

Addis Ababa emerges as a geopolitical bridge as BRICS reshapes regional influence.

Overview

• Ethiopia’s admission into BRICS has transformed its diplomatic reach, opening channels long inaccessible through traditional MENA institutions.

• The 2023 Johannesburg Summit brought Ethiopia in alongside major Middle Eastern economies, elevating Africa–MENA integration to levels not previously possible.

• BRICS now acts as a new platform for cross-regional cooperation, softening historical exclusions that once limited Ethiopia’s diplomatic influence.

Key Developments

• Ethiopia joined BRICS as one of only six nations selected from more than 40 applicants, gaining a seat beside newly admitted MENA oil-producing states.

• Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed framed the moment as a turning point, stating Ethiopia is ready to cooperate toward an “inclusive and prosperous world order.”

• Scholars note Ethiopia’s geography gives BRICS a direct gateway into Africa and the Middle East, amplifying the bloc’s strategic reach.

• Historically, Ethiopia lacked access to MENA institutions, complicating critical disputes such as the GERD negotiations; BRICS now provides an equal platform beside Egypt and Gulf states.

• Analysts say the expanded BRICS membership forces new political cooperation mechanisms, reshaping the balance between Africa and MENA actors.

Why It Matters

Ethiopia’s BRICS status is more than symbolic — it repositions Africa within Middle Eastern diplomacy, creating new channels for political coordination and economic strategy at a moment when global blocs are redefining their spheres.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — New Pathways for Regional Cooperation
BRICS offers Ethiopia diplomatic leverage previously blocked by MENA institutions, creating direct channels for African-Middle Eastern alignment.

Pillar 2 — BRICS Becomes a Cross-Regional Power Hub
The bloc’s expansion into both Africa and the Middle East increases its influence over energy, infrastructure, and political negotiation frameworks.

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

Saturday, November 15, 2025, | Politics Number of views: 117   Baghdad ( NINA ) – First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mohsen al-Mandalawi, and the head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, Faleh al-Fayyad, emphasized on Saturday the importance of proceeding with the convening of the sixth parliamentary session and the formation of the new government, which would contribute to launching the next political process.

The media office of the First Deputy Speaker of Parliament stated in a press release that al-Mandalawi met with al-Fayyad on Saturday evening as part of a series of political meetings aimed at organizing the post-election phase.

The statement added that the two sides exchanged congratulations on the success of the electoral process, stressing that the current results place a shared responsibility on national forces to move forward with convening the sixth parliamentary session and forming the new government, thus contributing to launching the next political process.

Al-Mandalawi stressed "the importance of establishing an environment of mutual understanding among political forces and adopting responsible dialogue as the basis for addressing challenges and formulating a comprehensive political vision that strengthens internal stability and supports development paths," noting that "expediting the completion of the upcoming constitutional procedures constitutes a crucial step in reassuring the public, protecting stability, and translating the will of the voters." /End   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?Key=1262129

An Economic Expert Told NINA: The Suspension Of Lukoil's Operations In Iraq Will Not Affect Its Oil Exports

Saturday, November 15, 2025, | Economy Number of views: 400  Baghdad ( NINA ) – Energy expert Dirgham Muhammad Ali affirmed that the Russian company Lukoil's declaration of force majeure and suspension of its operations in Iraq will not affect Iraqi oil exports.

In a statement to the Iraqi National News Agency ( NINA ), Muhammad Ali said, "National efforts are capable of managing extraction and export operations, in addition to Iraq's export flexibility from remaining fields should field operations cease, which is not currently a likely scenario."

He added, "Several alternatives will be available should Lukoil decide to withdraw from Iraq due to the US sanctions imposed on it, as major companies, including American ones, are ready to purchase Lukoil's share."

He further explained that "Iraq also possesses export flexibility from its oil fields to compensate for any production shortfall in any field due to OPEC+ restrictions that have forced Iraq to reduce its output."  US sanctions had targeted the assets of major Russian companies, including Lukoil, which operates in the West Qurna 2 oil field, creating uncertainty about the company's future operations in Iraq. /End  https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1262082

These will be the tools that will shape the new financial future. If any banks are not employing these technologies they will basically collapse and shutdown. Not to mention the online banking platform is another reason. Elon Musk is already gearing up to employ X-Money into the platform.

Chase & Wells Fargo are also closing locations in many areas. This will continue for the foreseeable future.

Militia Man   For Iraq to go international they're going to have to have a real effective exchange rate (REER) and that's going to entail digital technology, blockchain for instance.  

Mnt Goat   Article:  “THE IRAQI DINAR WITHOUT ZEROS: THE CENTRAL BANK OF IRAQ LAUNCHES A HISTORIC REFORM.”  The author is Dr. Subhi Jabara...He is a famous economist...My CBI contact told me it is an integral part of the educational process leading up to the FOREX reinstatement... the article...tell(s) us there is more to the removing the zeros than just removing the zeros...it is going to lead global trading of the dinar as the IQD once again.  [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Mnt Goat  ...in the article, Jabara even uses the term “nominal rate” as in going back to a nominal rate reflecting the true value of the Iraqi dinar...nominal rate is a real IMF term used to describe a currency when it is fairly revalued according to the economy and assets of a country.  Quotes:  “The real shift occurs in the subsequent adjustment of the exchange rate. The Central Bank has developed several scenarios, with internal studies predicting that the floating dinar could stabilize automatically at a value in the distant future between 3.22 and 4.25 dinars to the dollar.”  [Post 2 of 2]

"This Will Be The Best Run Of Your Life": Frank Giustra on Gold’s Final, Explosive Phase

Daniela Cambone:  11-14-2025

"All you folks that want $5,000 gold and $10,000 gold — be careful what you wish for. That’s not the kind of world you want to live in." —

Frank Giustra In today’s interview with Daniela Cambone at the Precious Metals Summit in Zurich, Giustra delivers a masterclass on the seismic shifts reshaping global finance, the explosive run in gold, and the looming battle for monetary supremacy.

He argues that the weaponization of the U.S. dollar has fueled an unstoppable de-dollarization trend, paving the way for a China-led “digital superhighway” that could challenge the dollar’s global standing.

Giustra breaks down why efforts to “dollarize” other economies are a non-starter — and why the real threat to U.S. dominance may be the gold-backed system already taking shape across the Global South.

MZ: From Indian nation contacts….some indicate initial funding is there and others say they havn’t seen anything yet. They are being told to be prepared.

MZ: There have been interesting reports from sovereigns that may indicate we have passed a “GO” trigger. I don’t know how long it takes to cultivate from there….But there are very positive rumors this morning. I hope to see these rumors fleshed out before Monday Morning. If true -it appears tier 3 money is starting to flow.

“Tidbits From TNT” Saturday 11-15-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  An economist says non-oil revenues face major challenges, and there are three sources of funding for the budget.

Economic expert Salah Nouri identified the sources of revenue in the general budget, pointing out that non-oil revenues face major challenges that prevent them from achieving their available potential.

Nouri told Al-Furat News Agency, "The sources of revenue in the general budget consist of: first, oil export revenues; second, taxes; third, customs duties; fourth, the treasury's share of profits from public companies; fifth, donations and subsidies; and sixth, the sale and lease of state assets."

He added that the available sources facing challenges include

1- Customs duties: Iraq imports everything, but the Ministry of Finance faces significant challenges related to smuggling, the entry of goods and merchandise without customs duties, price manipulation, and the proliferation of unofficial and controlled border crossings. 

2- Taxes: The Ministry of Finance faces significant challenges from tax evasion and manipulation of tax calculations, as evidenced by what happened in the "Theft of the Century" case

3- Sale and lease of state assets: There are significant challenges in the revenue from property rentals, as thousands of properties are occupied without rent being paid, or at a rate lower than what is stipulated by the law governing the sale and lease of state assets.  link

Tishwash:  Sudani welcomes his winning candidates: The results reflect the Iraqis' faith in our project

The head of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, received a number of the coalition's winning candidates in the recent parliamentary elections, in the presence of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, Minister of Labor Ahmed al-Asadi, and several other prominent figures. During the meeting, al-Sudani emphasized that the election results reflect a return of public confidence in the political process.

He noted that the voter turnout, which exceeded 56%, is an indicator of the strength of the popular will and citizens' support for the reconstruction and development project, which aims to promote development and reform across various sectors in the coming years.

 He received a number of winning candidates from within the coalition during the recent parliamentary elections, in the presence of the former Prime Minister, Mr. Iyad Allawi, the Minister of Labor, Ahmed Al-Asadi, and a number of dignitaries and figures from the coalition’s supporters.

We expressed our thanks and appreciation to all the leaders and electoral pillars of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition for their efforts that contributed to achieving great results during the legislative elections.

We noted that the recent legislative elections witnessed a return of confidence between the people and the political process through the broad participation that was unprecedented in years, and that the participation rate in the elections, which exceeded 56%, was not expected, and that international and regional institutions look at the standard of the percentage of citizens’ participation in the elections, which represents popular confidence in the existing political process.

We explained that the Reconstruction and Development Project is continuing its reform approach, working to correct the paths and meet the aspirations of the Iraqis, stressing that the government and the Reconstruction and Development Coalition Project were subjected to a campaign of misinformation and falsification before the elections, suggesting that doubts will continue to be cast on the list’s victory and the nearly 1.4 million votes it achieved, which no political entity has reached in all the elections.

We affirmed that the coalition leaders will engage in a negotiation process to reach a parliamentary-governmental project capable of meeting the aspirations of citizens and confronting current challenges.

Here are the main points we discussed during the meeting:

🔹The loss of public confidence in elections represented the biggest loss to the political process, so it was necessary to restore this confidence.

🔹The world is now aware that our people have made their choices, and that the voter turnout has increased.

🔹The Reconstruction and Development Coalition is a national project that includes political and national figures who believe in the reconstruction and development project, and the votes we received in various governorates reflect people’s confidence in our project.

🔹Obtaining this number of votes presents a challenge for us to provide services at a level befitting the aspirations of the citizens who participated in the elections and granted us this trust.

🔹Government performance was a major reason for the return of public confidence in the political process.

🔹We will double our efforts, and we will achieve much of what we started in the previous period. Reconstruction in Iraq will continue for more than twenty years, and we will work to promote development in various files and sectors.  link
