Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

BIS Advances Global Cross-Border Payment Project Toward Real-Value Transactions

Major central banks move beyond testing as Project Agorá demonstrates how tokenization could modernize wholesale international payments.

Overview

  • The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) announced that Project Agorá has successfully completed prototype testing and will advance to real-value transaction testing for wholesale cross-border payments.

  • The project brings together eight major central banks and more than 40 regulated financial institutions to improve the speed, efficiency, and security of international payments through tokenization.

  • Rather than replacing national currencies, the platform combines tokenized central bank reserves with tokenized commercial bank deposits while allowing each central bank to maintain control over its own currency.

Key Developments

1. Project Agorá Successfully Demonstrates Multi-Currency Settlement

The BIS reported that Project Agorá successfully demonstrated atomic settlement, allowing wholesale cross-border transactions to settle instantly on an "all-or-nothing" basis across multiple jurisdictions. This approach reduces settlement risk while improving efficiency for international financial institutions.

2. Real-Value Testing Will Begin

After completing its prototype phase, the project will advance to real-value transaction testing involving participating financial institutions. The Bank of Canada has also joined the initiative, expanding international participation.

3. Major Central Banks Continue Modernizing Payment Infrastructure

Participants include the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Bank of England, Bank of Japan, Bank of France, Swiss National Bank, Bank of Korea, Bank of Mexico, and the Bank of Canada, alongside more than 40 commercial financial institutions working to modernize cross-border payment systems.

Why It Matters

International payments remain slower and more expensive than domestic transactions because they often pass through multiple correspondent banks before reaching their final destination.

Project Agorá demonstrates how tokenized financial infrastructure could streamline these processes while preserving the safety of central bank money and existing banking systems. If implemented broadly, this technology could significantly improve the efficiency of global financial markets.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Many people watching international monetary developments focus on currencies themselves, but the payment infrastructure supporting those currencies is equally important. Faster, programmable, and more interoperable payment systems may eventually make cross-border settlements more efficient without changing the underlying value of national currencies.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 2: Trade

More efficient cross-border settlement systems could reduce friction in global trade by lowering transaction costs and accelerating international payments.

  • Pillar 4: Technology

Tokenized central bank reserves and programmable payment infrastructure represent a significant step toward the modernization of wholesale financial markets while maintaining regulatory oversight.

Future Outlook

Project Agorá will now move into real-value testing with participating institutions, providing practical experience under real market conditions. Policymakers will closely watch the results as central banks continue exploring how tokenization can modernize existing financial infrastructure while preserving trust, stability, and national monetary sovereignty. Success could influence future payment systems worldwide without requiring countries to abandon their own currencies.

This is not simply about faster payments—it reflects the broader transformation of the global financial system as central banks and commercial institutions build the next generation of cross-border financial infrastructure.

IQD Update: This Is Extremely Important For What This Sets The Table For:

Strengthening dinar stability + expanded international bank access = the exact mechanics needed for a controlled upward revaluation.

We Are In A Prime Reform Phase

The Central Bank gets breathing room to defend a stronger rate without bleeding reserves, while US-backed access to global clearing rails (think SWIFT, correspondent banking, tokenized settlement channels) brings in legitimate foreign capital inflows.

That influx of investment and trade volume creates real demand for the dinar, letting the CBI gradually (or in phases) shift the peg higher without triggering chaos.

This Is The Bridge Needed To Pave The Way For Forex Entry

Which means from the old oil-dependent fragility to a diversified, market-integrated currency that can actually hold and appreciate value sustainably. The agreements remove the old choke points that kept it suppressed, and the timing with everything else converging makes the reval not just possible it becomes the logical next step to lock in the stability they’re announcing.

Channel 8 English: The Iraqi Private Banks League says recent agreements between the Central Bank of Iraq and the U.S. Treasury mark a major step in banking reform and are expected to strengthen the stability of the Iraqi dinar while expanding Iraqi banks’ access to international financial markets.

Tishwash:  Al-Zaidi's U.S. Tour Recap: Key Meetings and Strategic Agreements

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi and a high-level government delegation have concluded a pivotal five-day official visit to the United States. The diplomatic mission successfully initiated a comprehensive, diversified economic partnership designed to modernize Iraq’s financial infrastructure, attract foreign capital, revitalize the domestic labor market, and expand national revenue streams beyond oil.

Al-Zaidi arrived in Washington, D.C., from July 13 to July 18, where he met with U.S. President Donald Trump, congressional leaders, and cabinet officials.

Central to the visit’s outcomes was the signing of 48 agreements, memoranda of understanding (MoUs), and strategic economic arrangements between Iraqi public and private sector entities and leading U.S. oil, industrial, technology, and financial institutions.

According to Prime Minister Advisor Mudhar Muhammad Salih, the value of agreements signed between Iraq and U.S. companies has reached $60 billion.

White House Talks and Strategic Security Alignment

The visit commenced in Washington with high-level bilateral talks at the White House between al-Zaidi and Trump. The two leaders agreed to establish a comprehensive strategic economic partnership to deepen bilateral ties. 

Following these discussions, al-Zaidi received Trump’s Special Envoy, Ambassador Tom Barrack.

On security and defense, the Iraqi delegation visited the U.S. Department of War to hold talks on bilateral military relations, culminating in an agreement to further strengthen joint intelligence cooperation. 

Parliamentary security ties were also reinforced during meetings with members of the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee, including Senator Ted Budd and Senator Tim Sheehy.

Financial Reforms and Global Banking Integration

To advance domestic banking sector modernization, Prime Minister met with the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. 

A major breakthrough was achieved under the Prime Minister's sponsorship, as the Central Bank of Iraq and the U.S. Department of the Treasury finalized an agreement to restore seven Iraqi commercial banks to international foreign correspondent banking channels.

Al-Zaidi also engaged with international financial institutions to broaden development partnerships. High-level talks were held with World Bank President Ajay Banga, International Finance Corporation (IFC) Managing Director Makhtar Diop, and International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva. 

Additionally, discussions on expanding digital economy financing were held with the Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC), alongside a separate meeting with representatives from JPMorgan.

Congressional Engagement and Regional Diplomacy

While in Washington, the Prime Minister conducted extensive outreach across the U.S. Capitol, visiting both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Key legislative meetings included:

A meeting with Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

Discussions with Senator Jim Risch, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Talks with Senator Roger Wicker, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

A briefing with the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a review of bilateral milestones with a panel of former U.S. ambassadors to Iraq.

On the sidelines of his Washington engagements, al-Zaidi received the Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs at his residence, accepting an official invitation from His Majesty King Abdullah II to visit the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

Houston Energy Summit and New Export Pipelines

The delegation later traveled to Houston, Texas, the hub of global energy operations, where Prime Minister met with U.S. Secretary of Energy Christopher Wright to discuss production and refining capacity enhancements.

In a significant geopolitical development for regional energy routing, the Prime Minister sponsored the signing of a cross-border MoU between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and Syrian authorities. 

The agreement lays the groundwork for constructing a new crude oil export pipeline through Syrian territory to the Mediterranean Sea, offering Iraq a vital new western export corridor.

Furthering energy sector development, the Prime Minister held high-impact corporate meetings with global oil majors and oilfield service providers, including:

Executive leadership at Chevron Corporation and ExxonMobil.

Representatives from the BP–ConocoPhillips consortium and Excelerate Energy.

Oilfield service leaders from Halliburton, Baker Hughes, Honeywell, KBR, and Weatherford to discuss localized public-private sector development.

Infrastructure, Big Tech, and Commercial Partnerships

During the Economic and Investment Dialogue Forum in Houston, organized by the Bilateral Chamber of Commerce, the Iraqi delegation officially announced blueprints for the landmark "Energy City" projects on the Al-Faw Peninsula.

Al-Zaidi also participated in a broad-scale Business Conference hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, anchoring commercial ties with major technology and infrastructure conglomerates.

Private executive audiences were held with the CEO of Starlink to discuss satellite connectivity, as well as representatives from Google, GE Vernova, HKN Energy, Phontif, and Commerce PLC.

Concluding the tour, Prime Minister met with members of the Iraqi diaspora, expatriate business leaders, global investors, and Iraqi scholarship students studying across various U.S. states to emphasize their role in the country’s ongoing economic transformation.  link

Dr. Jim Willie just went nuclear: the United States Corporation is bankrupt, the fiat dollar has been deliberately crashed by white hats, and the quantum financial system(allegedly)  flipped live overnight.

The RV/GCR exploded at 3:17 AM EST today Sat. 18 July 2026 – Iraq, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, all (allegedly) revalued sky-high while the cabal’s Federal Reserve Note collapses in real time.

Willie laid it out raw: The BRICS nations, led by Trump’s secret alliance with Putin and Xi, just (allegedly) pulled the trigger. Over 209 countries (allegedly locked into gold-backed currencies, the SWIFT system is (allegedly offline forever, and the Rothschild central banks are(allegedly being seized as we speak. NESARA/GESARA (allegedly fully activated – all bank debt, mortgages, credit cards, student loans WIPED OUT (allegedly starting tomorrow morning. Redemption centers on full lockdown, military guarding Tier 4B notifications going out within hours.

The real bombshell? GitmO executions(allegedly began at dawn – top bankers, Fed chairs, and deepstate money launderers hanged for treason after the gold standard was(allegedly restored.

Med Beds(allegedly rolling out next week, suppressed energy tech released, and the biggest wealth transfer in human history is (allegedly hitting patriot accounts first. Trillions in restitution flowing to those who held the line.

America is being shaken awake – power outages are tactical, internet blackouts cover the arrests, and the EBS is primed for the 10 Days of Darkness starting any moment.

Association Of Banks: Central Bank's Understandings With The US Treasury Will Reflect On The Stability Of The Iraqi Dinar

Baghdad – WAA   The Association of Iraqi Private Banks confirmed on Saturday that the Central Bank’s understandings with the US Treasury represent an important turning point in the course of reforming the Iraqi banking sector, and indicated that this development will have a positive and direct impact on increasing the stability of the value of the Iraqi dinar.  

Association Of Banks: Central Bank's Understandings With The US Treasury Will Reflect On The Stability Of The Iraqi Dinar

Baghdad – WAA   The Association of Iraqi Private Banks confirmed on Saturday that the Central Bank’s understandings with the US Treasury represent an important turning point in the course of reforming the Iraqi banking sector, and indicated that this development will have a positive and direct impact on increasing the stability of the value of the Iraqi dinar.  

A statement issued by the association, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), said that "the Association of Iraqi Private Banks welcomes the important positive results that resulted from the high-level talks held by the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Nizar Nasser, with officials at the US Treasury, which came as a culmination and completion of the governmental efforts made during the official visit of the Prime Minister, Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi, to the United States of America."

The association, according to the statement, praised the "strategic decision to agree on the return of (7) Iraqi banks to foreign correspondent banking channels in foreign currencies (other than the US dollar), and this is a fundamental step that confirms the success of the first phase of the banking sector reform and relicensing program led by the Central Bank of Iraq."

The association affirmed that "this important development will have a positive and direct impact on increasing the stability of the value of the Iraqi dinar, as well as its effective contribution to strengthening Iraqi banks and enhancing their soundness and ability to meet the requirements of foreign trade and financing the local market."

She pointed out that "all other banks that are still subject to restrictions can operate in other currencies when the requirements of the first phase are completed. Therefore, these banks are required to intensify their efforts and fully and quickly comply with the standards and requirements of the Central Bank of Iraq, and complete the procedures for compliance, combating money laundering and terrorist financing."

The association reiterated its "full support for the comprehensive strategy of the Central Bank of Iraq, which aims to modernize the banking sector and enhance its resilience and competitiveness, in order to ensure full and sustainable integration into the global financial system, and to create the ideal environment for the Iraqi economy to open up to international financial institutions." https://ina.iq/ar/economie/268591-.html

Iraq Arrests Bulk Cash Couriers, Seizes Million In Mastercards

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - The Iraqi National Security Service (INSS) announced on Sunday that it had dismantled several currency smuggling networks operating across the country, including a group illegally transferring over a million in funds between Baghdad and Sulaimani using bank cards.

Arshad Hakim, spokesperson for the INSS, told Rudaw's Hastyar Qadir on Sunday that intelligence-based operations carried out by the agency’s unit in Diyala province led to the arrest of two suspects involved in a network smuggling money between Baghdad and Sulaimani.

“The group was smuggling funds using Mastercards,” Hakim said, adding that security forces seized Point of Sale (POS) devices and a large number of bank cards prepared for illegal transfers.

The arrests come amid increased Iraqi government efforts to curb foreign currency smuggling and regulate access to US dollars. Earlier in July, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) reduced the monthly dollar allocation for adult travelers from $3,000 to $2,000, saying the measure aimed to improve foreign currency management and encourage electronic payments.

The arrests also coincide with ongoing investigations and national efforts to curb corruption, embezzlement, and money laundering in accordance with Iraq's ongoing anti-corruption campaign launched in June, known as Operation Dawn, which has resulted in the arrest of dozens of Iraqi politicians and lawmakers, former officials, and senior government employees, in addition to hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen assets and seized state properties illegally transferred into private ownership.

Under Iraqi regulations, transferring funds abroad through bank cards outside approved channels is considered a form of illicit bulk cash smuggling.

The CBI said at the time that the move was part of efforts to “develop the management of foreign currency sales operations, enhance the efficiency of resource distribution, and align with international banking best practices.”

The INSS said in a statement that its Diyala units acted “based on precise intelligence and continuous field surveillance” and dismantled the network following judicial warrants.

In Kirkuk, security forces also arrested six people accused of operating another currency smuggling network. Authorities seized 251 Mastercards and 252 SIM cards allegedly used to move foreign currency out of Iraq.

The security agency said it also carried out operations in several other provinces targeting financial crimes.

In Nineveh, intelligence units arrested an individual carrying $100,000 in counterfeit currency, while in Baghdad, officers detained a suspect wanted under article 456 of Iraq’s Penal Code for fraud. Authorities seized more than 1.324 billion Iraqi dinars ($1 million) and $256,000 from the suspect.

In Basra, the INSS said it disrupted a scam operation in which suspects allegedly created fake Facebook pages advertising the sale of “frozen dollars” at attractive exchange rates before providing victims with counterfeit bills. Four suspects were arrested with around $10,000 in fake currency, according to the agency.

“All suspects and seized items have been referred to the relevant authorities for legal proceedings,” the INSS said.

The Iraqi government has been under pressure to address dollar shortages and exchange rate pressures, with officials previously warning that some travelers and traders had exploited dollar allocation systems, contributing to demand on the parallel market. https://www.rudaw.net/english/categories/iraq/1078425

Oil Surges Above $90 On Gulf Escalation

2026-07-20 01:23   Shafaq News  Brent oil prices rose 2% to more than $90 per barrel on Monday, ‌as escalating U.S.-Iran hostilities in the Middle East restricted oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz.

Brent crude futures climbed $2.09, or 2.37%, to $90.19 by 0241 GMT, touching the highest since June 11, extending gains after rising 15.9% last week, its biggest weekly gain since ​April.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $84.20 a barrel, up $1.71, or 2.07%, the loftiest since June 12. ​Front-month prices gained 15.5% last week, the largest weekly ascent since early March.

The Middle ⁠East conflict escalated over the weekend with the U.S. conducting a ninth straight night of attacks against Iran, while ​U.S. allies Kuwait and Bahrain reported more Iranian strikes.

"ICE Brent broke above $90 per barrel this morning with no let-up ​in the escalation in the Gulf," said ING analysts in a note on Monday.

"The U.S. and Iran continue to exchange strikes, which are proving to be deadly for both sides. If this escalation goes unchecked, we could return to an environment of ​wide-scale attacks across the Gulf."

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Monday that two oil tankers had exploded and ​been immobilised after attempting to transit what it described as an unsafe southern route through the Strait of Hormuz, alleging they ‌had been ⁠encouraged by the U.S. military to use the passage.

Reuters could not immediately verify the incident.

In recent days both sides have taken aim at shipping traffic, with the U.S. saying it is enforcing a naval blockade on Iranian ports, and Iran saying it targets vessels violating its rules on navigating the Strait of Hormuz, which usually ​handles one-fifth of global oil ​trade.

A vessel was on fire ⁠northwest of Oman's Kumzar, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations agency said early on Monday.

"The coming days and weeks will provide a clearer picture of the sustainable level ​of oil exports from the region under renewed dual blockades," Barclays analyst Amarpreet Singh ​said in ⁠a note.

"As things stand, we think oil markets are still too complacent about the potential fallout for inventories, which, unlike at the beginning of the war, are at the tightest of the past five years."

Four vessels made the transit through ⁠the Strait ​of Hormuz on Sunday, down from eight in the previous day, ​LSEG data showed. At least three oil products tankers and one Very Large Crude Carrier, have entered the strait since Friday to load ​oil, the data showed. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/Oil-surges-above-90-on-Gulf-escalation

 Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Iraq Signs $60 Billion in U.S. Investment Deals as Banking and Energy Reforms Accelerate

Major agreements with U.S. companies and continued banking modernization highlight Iraq's long-term strategy to strengthen its economy, diversify energy exports, and deepen integration into the global financial system.

 Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Iraq Signs $60 Billion in U.S. Investment Deals as Banking and Energy Reforms Accelerate

Major agreements with U.S. companies and continued banking modernization highlight Iraq's long-term strategy to strengthen its economy, diversify energy exports, and deepen integration into the global financial system.

Overview

Iraq signed 48 agreements worth more than $60 billion with U.S. companies covering energy, technology, infrastructure, healthcare, communications, and finance.

• Several agreements support new oil export infrastructure designed to reduce Iraq's dependence on the Strait of Hormuz, strengthening long-term energy security.

• At the same time, continued cooperation between the Central Bank of Iraq and the U.S. Treasury is advancing banking modernization, regulatory compliance, and greater integration with international financial markets.

Key Developments

1. Iraq and U.S. Expand Strategic Economic Partnership

During the U.S.-Iraq Business Summit in Washington, Iraq finalized 48 agreements and memoranda of understanding valued at over $60 billion with leading American companies. Participants include Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, Halliburton, GE Vernova, KBR, and other major firms, reflecting growing international confidence in Iraq's economic future.

2. New Pipeline Projects Aim to Reduce Hormuz Dependence

Several agreements focus on rebuilding and expanding pipeline infrastructure connecting Iraq to Mediterranean export terminals, providing alternative routes that bypass the Strait of Hormuz. Although these projects will take years to complete, they represent an important effort to diversify global energy supply routes and reduce geopolitical risk.

3. Banking Reforms Continue Alongside Investment

The Central Bank of Iraq continues working with the U.S. Treasury and international institutions to strengthen banking supervision, improve anti-money-laundering compliance, expand correspondent banking relationships, and modernize Iraq's financial system. These reforms are intended to improve investor confidence and facilitate Iraq's participation in global financial markets.

Why It Matters

The combination of large-scale foreign investment, energy infrastructure expansion, and banking modernization demonstrates that Iraq is pursuing long-term structural reforms rather than short-term economic fixes.

By diversifying export routes and improving financial transparency, Iraq is positioning itself to attract additional international investment while reducing vulnerabilities created by regional geopolitical tensions.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Many currency holders closely monitor Iraq's banking reforms because they represent important milestones toward a more modern financial system. While these developments do not indicate an imminent exchange-rate adjustment, they continue to strengthen the institutional foundation needed for Iraq to operate more fully within the international financial and banking system.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 1: Debt

Continued banking reform and stronger regulatory compliance improve Iraq's financial credibility, supporting broader economic stability and increasing confidence among international investors.

  • Pillar 2: Trade

Alternative export pipelines would reduce reliance on the Strait of Hormuz, helping secure global energy trade while improving the resilience of international supply chains.

  • Pillar 4: Technology

Modernization of Iraq's banking infrastructure and compliance systems supports greater integration with global payment networks and international financial markets.

Future Outlook

Attention will now focus on how quickly these agreements move from memorandums of understanding to operational projects. Progress on pipeline construction, continued banking reforms, and expanded cooperation with international financial institutions will be key indicators of Iraq's long-term economic transformation. If successfully implemented, these initiatives could significantly strengthen Iraq's role in global energy markets while improving its position within the international financial system.

This is not simply about new investment—it reflects the broader transformation of the global financial system as energy security, banking modernization, and international capital flows increasingly shape the future of the world economy.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.


For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different: • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.     Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

What if the Greatest Monetary Revolution in History isn’t a New Currency?

What if the Greatest Monetary Revolution in History isn’t a New Currency?

Rob Cunningham:  7-19-2026

What if the greatest monetary revolution in history isn’t a new currency… but a new standard?

What if every nation could keep its own sovereign currency…

…while every unit became continuously verifiable?

What if the Greatest Monetary Revolution in History isn’t a New Currency?

Rob Cunningham:  7-19-2026

What if the greatest monetary revolution in history isn’t a new currency… but a new standard?

What if every nation could keep its own sovereign currency…

…while every unit became continuously verifiable?

What if trust slowly gave way to verification?

What if transparency reduced friction instead of creating fear?

What if money no longer depended solely on institutional reconciliation, but could also be supported by continuously auditable digital infrastructure?

Imagine a world where:

Sovereignty remains.
Commerce accelerates.
Settlement becomes nearly instantaneous.
Collateral becomes continuously visible.
Interoperability replaces fragmentation.

Not through coercion.

Not through collapse.

But through voluntary adoption, open standards, and better technology.

Perhaps history’s greatest breakthroughs don’t arrive by destroying yesterday…

…they quietly make it obsolete.

The question isn’t whether technology can transform finance.

The question is:

What standard should humanity build toward?

If you had the opportunity to redesign the global monetary system today…

What would you refuse to compromise?

Read.

Reflect.

Challenge every assumption – including this one.

Then comment with your own answer and, if the conversation adds value, share it generously.

US Dollar used to be Backed by Silver, US has Largest Gold Stockpile in the World

US Dollar used to be Backed by Silver, US has Largest Gold Stockpile in the World

And We Know :  7-18-2026

The global financial landscape is currently undergoing a structural transformation, defined by shifting monetary policies and a fundamental rethinking of how nations store value.

Recent insights into central banking strategies suggest that we are moving away from a single-currency dominance toward a more complex, collateralized framework. By examining the roles of interest rates, precious metals, and emerging digital payment rails, investors can better understand the forces shaping the economy through 2027 and beyond.

And We Know :  7-18-2026

The global financial landscape is currently undergoing a structural transformation, defined by shifting monetary policies and a fundamental rethinking of how nations store value.

Recent insights into central banking strategies suggest that we are moving away from a single-currency dominance toward a more complex, collateralized framework. By examining the roles of interest rates, precious metals, and emerging digital payment rails, investors can better understand the forces shaping the economy through 2027 and beyond.

The Federal Reserve is signaling a “regime change” in its approach to monetary policy, primarily aimed at neutralizing inflation. Often characterized as a hidden tax on citizens, inflation has forced central banks into a difficult balancing act.

To maintain currency competitiveness in a strained global economy, major nations are engaging in synchronized interest rate hikes. While this is intended to stabilize the dollar, it creates significant headwinds for traditional asset classes, particularly bonds and equities. Experts anticipate a period of heightened market volatility as the global debt situation continues to pressure existing financial structures.

Historically, conventional economic theory suggested that high interest rates were detrimental to gold and silver due to their lack of yield. However, a counterintuitive shift is occurring: precious metals are increasingly viewed as essential “flight-to-quality” assets.

As central banks face mounting monetary volatility, they are aggressively transitioning toward gold as a tier-one reserve asset. This institutional adoption highlights a move toward tangible collateral, providing a safety net in an era where paper currency credibility is being questioned.

Technological advancements are acting as the catalyst for this monetary evolution. Specifically, initiatives like Project Mbridge—backed by the Bank for International Settlements and various international coalitions—are changing how global settlements occur.

By enabling settlements in multiple currencies and assets, including gold and silver, these digital platforms are providing viable alternatives to the current dollar-centric system. This diversification suggests that we are witnessing the beginning of a “de-dollarization” trend, which may ultimately pave the way for gold-backed digital currencies to become the standard for international trade.

For the individual investor, these developments necessitate a more cautious and strategic approach to portfolio management. Because market volatility is expected to persist through 2027, relying solely on traditional market performance may no longer be sufficient.

Financial experts emphasize the importance of diversifying into precious metals to hedge against debt-related systemic risks. While equities remain a component of a balanced portfolio, investors are being encouraged to exercise restraint and look for opportunities to buy during significant market dips rather than chasing short-term rallies.

As the global economy moves toward a hybrid system of blockchain-enabled settlements and gold-backed reserves, understanding the “why” behind these shifts is essential. By staying informed, you can navigate the unpredictability of the coming years with confidence.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 7-19-26

US-Iran War Costs Iraq 300M+ Oil Barrels

2026-07-19 07:24 Shafaq News- Baghdad (Updated at 15:07)  Iraq lost an estimated 302.8 million barrels of oil production during the first half of 2026 as the US-Iran war disrupted extraction and exports through the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Eco Iraq Observatory.

US-Iran War Costs Iraq 300M+ Oil Barrels

2026-07-19 07:24 Shafaq News- Baghdad (Updated at 15:07)  Iraq lost an estimated 302.8 million barrels of oil production during the first half of 2026 as the US-Iran war disrupted extraction and exports through the Strait of Hormuz, according to the Eco Iraq Observatory.

The watchdog placed total production at about 440.3 million barrels between January and June. Daily volumes remained above 4.1 million barrels during the first two months of the year before the conflict sharply reduced operations, with output falling to 1.906 million barrels per day in March, 1.633 million in April, and a low of 1.406 million in May. The figure edged up to 1.525 million barrels per day in June.

Iraq, OPEC’s second-largest producer, relies on crude sales for about 90% of state revenue, leaving its economy highly vulnerable to disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, which carries roughly one-fifth of global oil supplies. In late March, economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi estimated that the country had cut output by around 2.9 million barrels per day, the steepest reduction among OPEC members.

Despite the disruption, shipping data from Kpler and Vortexa showed Iraq recorded the largest month-on-month increase in crude exports among Gulf producers during the first half of July, as Gulf countries’ crude and condensate shipments rose about 16% from the June average.

The United States and Iran exchanged fire for an eighth consecutive night, with Washington striking Iranian military infrastructure and Tehran claiming retaliatory drone operations against US installations in Kuwait.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on Sunday reported intercepting two vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, while two others allegedly reversed course after receiving warnings. It accused all four ships of disabling their navigation systems and attempting to cross through “an unsafe route” with US backing.

Oil, gas, and chemical fertilizer cargoes would not be permitted to pass without Iranian authorization, the IRGC warned, maintaining that it controls the waterway and that vessels using unapproved routes could face “inevitable incidents.”

Three Oil Tankers Load Six Million Barrels At Basra

2026-07-19 08:40   Shafaq News- Basra  Three oil supertankers are loading six million barrels of Iraqi crude at Basra’s export terminals, a source at the General Company for Ports told Shafaq News on Sunday, although US-Iran clashes continue to disrupt Gulf shipping.

Each vessel is carrying two million barrels. Suriname Prosperity is expected to complete loading at an export berth on Sunday evening, while the Bahamas-flagged crude oil tanker is due to finish at the first single-point mooring, SPM1, on Monday. The Nissos Heraclea, sailing under the flag of LIBERIA, is scheduled to berth on Sunday and begin loading immediately.

Iraq had briefly suspended loading at the Basra terminal following a drone strike on a tanker on July 16. Operations later resumed, while shipping data showed only three commodity vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz that day, the lowest daily total since May.

No very large crude carriers or liquefied natural gas tankers crossed the strait for a second consecutive day, although two tankers carrying about two million barrels each were tracked near the waterway.

Iraq normally exports about 3.6 million barrels per day, including around 3.4 million bpd through its southern Basra terminals, according to Iraqi Oil Ministry figures, before the US-Israeli war on Iran caused the sharpest oil-revenue decline among Gulf producers.

Kuwait Condemns Iranian Strike On Power, Water Facility

2026-07-19 14:45   Shafaq News- Kuwait  Kuwait held Iran fully responsible on Sunday for an attack on a power generation and water desalination plant, warning of the legal, moral, and security consequences of the strike.

In a statement, the Foreign Ministry noted that the repeated deliberate targeting of critical civilian infrastructure marks a dangerous escalation and poses a serious threat to civilian safety and security. “The strike is a violation of international law, international humanitarian law, the United Nations Charter, and UN Security Council Resolution 2817.”

Kuwait reserves the full right to take all necessary measures to protect its security, territory, and vital facilities against any aggression or threat, the ministry added, citing the right to self-defense under Article 51 of the UN Charter.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Stablecoin Issuers Face 2028 Compliance Deadline as GENIUS Act Reshapes U.S. Digital Finance

The first comprehensive U.S. stablecoin law establishes a federal framework for digital dollar issuers, marking a significant step toward integrating regulated digital assets into the nation's financial system.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Stablecoin Issuers Face 2028 Compliance Deadline as GENIUS Act Reshapes U.S. Digital Finance

The first comprehensive U.S. stablecoin law establishes a federal framework for digital dollar issuers, marking a significant step toward integrating regulated digital assets into the nation's financial system.

Overview

President Donald Trump signed the GENIUS Act, creating the first comprehensive federal regulatory framework for payment stablecoins in the United States.

Stablecoin issuers have until July 18, 2028, to fully comply with new reserve, disclosure, and regulatory requirements or lose access to the U.S. market.

The legislation provides greater regulatory certainty, potentially accelerating the adoption of stablecoins for payments, settlements, and cross-border financial transactions.

Key Developments

1. New Federal Standards for Stablecoin Issuers

The GENIUS Act requires all payment stablecoins to be backed one-to-one by U.S. dollars or highly liquid short-term U.S. Treasury securities. Issuers must also publish monthly reserve disclosures, strengthening transparency and consumer confidence.

2. Three-Year Transition Period Begins

Stablecoin providers have until July 18, 2028, to become Permitted Payment Stablecoin Issuers (PPSIs) under the new law. Regulators are expected to finalize implementation rules by July 2026, with core compliance requirements taking effect in 2027 before full enforcement begins in 2028.

3. Regulatory Clarity Opens the Door for Broader Adoption

The Act removes longstanding uncertainty by clarifying that qualifying payment stablecoins are not classified as securities or commodities. Banks, payment companies, and financial institutions may now have a clearer path to integrating regulated stablecoins into existing payment infrastructure while complying with anti-money-laundering regulations.

Why It Matters

The GENIUS Act represents one of the most significant milestones in the evolution of digital finance in the United States. By establishing uniform federal standards, lawmakers aim to increase confidence in stablecoins while encouraging innovation within a regulated framework.

The legislation also strengthens the role of U.S. Treasury securities in supporting digital dollar reserves, reinforcing the connection between traditional financial markets and emerging blockchain-based payment systems.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For those following developments related to a potential Global Financial Reset, the GENIUS Act demonstrates how governments are building regulated digital payment infrastructure rather than leaving the sector entirely to private markets. While the law does not signal a currency revaluation, it reflects a broader movement toward modernizing cross-border payments and integrating digital assets into the global financial system.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 2: Trade

Regulated stablecoins could improve the speed and efficiency of international settlements, supporting faster cross-border commerce while reducing friction in global payment networks.

  • Pillar 4: Technology

The GENIUS Act establishes the legal foundation for greater adoption of blockchain-based payment systems, signaling continued modernization of financial infrastructure through regulated digital assets.

Future Outlook

Attention now shifts to federal regulators as they develop the detailed rules needed to implement the GENIUS Act over the next year. Financial institutions, fintech firms, and stablecoin issuers are expected to expand investment in compliant digital payment platforms ahead of the 2028 compliance deadline, while global policymakers closely watch the U.S. framework as a possible model for future regulation.

This is not simply about regulating stablecoins—it reflects the broader transformation of the global financial system as governments modernize payment infrastructure, strengthen regulatory oversight, and prepare for the next generation of digital finance.

The Fed Days are Numbered, Treasury Secretary Bessent Already Initiated the Plan

The Fed Days are Numbered, Treasury Secretary Bessent Already Initiated the Plan

X22 Report (with Dr. Scott Young): 7-18-2026

A recent X22 Report interview featured Dr. Scott Young, a historian and financial researcher, who offered a compelling perspective on the current state of gold reserves, the fiat currency system, and a broader economic transformation involving key institutions like the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the IRS.

His insights paint a picture of impending change, suggesting a radical departure from the financial systems we’ve known.

The Fed Days are Numbered, Treasury Secretary Bessent Already Initiated the Plan

X22 Report (with Dr. Scott Young): 7-18-2026

A recent X22 Report interview featured Dr. Scott Young, a historian and financial researcher, who offered a compelling perspective on the current state of gold reserves, the fiat currency system, and a broader economic transformation involving key institutions like the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the IRS.

His insights paint a picture of impending change, suggesting a radical departure from the financial systems we’ve known.

One of the most striking points raised by Dr. Young in the interview revolves around the true location and quantity of gold reserves. He challenges the commonly held belief that significant bullion is held at Fort Knox, suggesting instead a widespread dispersion of gold holdings globally.

According to Dr. Young, major global currencies are increasingly backed by real assets, with substantial physical gold now believed to reside in places like the Philippines and China, rather than solely within the United States. This re-evaluation of gold’s physical location sets the stage for his prediction of an unprecedented gold revaluation.

Dr. Young posits that the world is on the cusp of a profound gold revaluation, an event he believes could radically alter both the U.S. and global economies.

 His perspective suggests that the current fiat currency system, which he describes as failing, is moving towards a gold-backed sound money system.

This transition would mark a historic shift, moving away from currencies based solely on government trust and toward a system anchored by tangible assets. The implications for inflation, purchasing power, and international trade would be far-reaching, fundamentally reshaping the financial instruments we utilize daily.

Beyond gold, Dr. Young delves into the structural changes he anticipates within national economies. He discusses a proposed reform involving tariffs replacing income tax, aiming to streamline revenue collection and foster domestic economic growth.

This radical shift, if implemented, would represent a significant economic transformation, impacting every individual and business. Furthermore, the interview sheds light on Dr. Young’s critical view of existing tax systems, particularly the IRS and state tax structures, which he suggests are ripe for systemic reform as part of this broader economic reset.

The discussion extends into the geopolitical implications of these economic shifts. Dr. Young touches upon the concept of economic warfare and the strategic importance of oil in influencing global power dynamics. He observes a slow but steady dismantling of fiat currencies worldwide, driven by strategic economic pressures. Compellingly, Dr. Young predicts a near-term reset within months, driven by these multifaceted economic pressures and underlying military-economic strategies. He suggests that these anticipated reforms are not merely theoretical but are actively being orchestrated to bring about a new global financial order.

Dr. Scott Young’s interview on the X22 Report offers a thought-provoking and at times provocative insight into the potential trajectory of global economics. From questioning the location of gold reserves to forecasting a gold revaluation and a fundamental economic transformation involving the Federal Reserve and IRS, his analysis suggests a world poised for significant change.

While these are complex issues with varying expert opinions, Dr. Young’s perspective provides a compelling framework for understanding the forces that could shape our financial future.

Tishwash:  Finance Minister: The IMF's praise for the reforms implemented by the government reflects growing international confidence in the Iraqi economy.

Finance Minister Faleh Sari affirmed on Saturday that the International Monetary Fund's praise for the reforms implemented by the Iraqi government reflects growing international confidence in the Iraqi economy, while stressing the continuation of reform programs to enhance financial stability and support sustainable development.

The minister said in a statement received by Al-Mirbad that "the meeting that brought together the government delegation headed by Prime Minister Ali Al-Zidi with the head of the International Monetary Fund Kristalina Georgieva in the American capital, Washington, represents an important milestone to strengthen the partnership between Iraq and the International Monetary Fund, and to support the path of economic and financial reforms implemented by the government."

He added that "the IMF chief's praise for the reform measures, particularly in the areas of financial reform, combating corruption, and diversifying income sources, reflects growing international confidence in the Iraqi economy and in the government's steps aimed at building a more diversified and sustainable economy."

Sari noted that "the Ministry of Finance continues to implement its reform programs in coordination with national bodies and international partners, which contributes to enhancing financial stability, raising the efficiency of public financial management, improving the investment environment, and enabling the private sector to play a greater role in achieving sustainable economic development." link

Tishwash:  Prime Minister's Advisor: 48 agreements with Washington are a step towards enhancing economic openness

Prime Minister’s Advisor Mazhar Muhammad Salih confirmed on Saturday that the 48 agreements with Washington are a step towards strengthening economic openness, while indicating that the memoranda of understanding with the United States reflect Iraq’s direction to attract foreign investments.

Saleh said in statements followed by Al-Mirbad that “the signing of 48 agreements, memoranda of understanding and a declaration of partnership between Iraq and the United States represents an important step in the path of economic openness and strengthening investment relations, but the real impact of these agreements will depend on the extent to which they are transformed from documents of understanding into practical projects that can be implemented.”

He added that "these memoranda reflect, from an economic standpoint, Iraq's desire to expand the base of international cooperation and attract foreign capital, which sends positive messages to investors and global markets that the Iraqi investment environment is witnessing a movement towards greater stability and openness."

Saleh explained that “the entry of international companies into the Iraqi market would contribute to the transfer of technology and administrative and technical expertise, raise the efficiency of productive sectors, create job opportunities, as well as support efforts to diversify the economy and reduce dependence on oil revenues through investment in the energy, industry, infrastructure, communications and services sectors,” indicating that “these memoranda represent an indication of growing international confidence in Iraq’s economic potential, but this confidence will not be consolidated unless it is accompanied by real reforms in the investment environment, including simplifying administrative procedures, enhancing transparency, ensuring the protection of investors and providing legislative and security stability.”

Saleh pointed out that “foreign investors do not only look at the size of the signed agreements, but also at the state’s ability to fulfill its obligations and provide a stable business environment capable of achieving rewarding returns. The success of these memoranda will depend on the speed of moving to the implementation phase and removing the obstacles that have long faced investment projects in Iraq.”

He added that “the declaration of partnership with the public and private sectors represents a modern economic approach aimed at utilizing the capabilities of both parties in implementing development projects. The public sector owns the land, infrastructure, and legal and institutional framework, while the private sector possesses administrative expertise, the ability to finance, innovate, and use modern technologies. Through this model, joint projects can be implemented in the fields of energy, electricity, transportation, housing, industry, and services, according to the formulas of partnership between the public and private sectors, which reduces the financial burdens on the state and increases the efficiency of project management and accelerates their completion.”

Saleh pointed out that “these partnerships are expected to open new horizons for economic and financial cooperation, whether through direct investment, joint financing, the establishment of investment funds and the financing of infrastructure projects, as well as strengthening cooperation between banks and financial institutions to provide credit facilities and investment guarantees,” stressing that “in the medium and long term, these partnerships can contribute to raising the contribution of the private sector to the gross domestic product, stimulating economic growth, increasing non-oil revenues, and enhancing the competitiveness of the Iraqi economy.”

He stated that "achieving these results requires the continuation of economic reforms, the development of legal frameworks regulating partnerships, and ensuring transparency and governance in project implementation, so that agreements and memoranda of understanding are transformed into tangible economic achievements that positively impact development and economic stability in Iraq."  link

Tishwash:  Al-Zaidi affirms the strength of the economic partnership with the United States of America

Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi attended a large business conference in Washington, D.C., on Friday, hosted in his honor by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The conference was attended by a large number of businessmen and traders, representatives of American companies, bankers, representatives of financial institutions and investment companies, and various industrial and technological sectors.

At the beginning of the conference, the Prime Minister delivered a speech in which he emphasized the government’s interest in communication, dialogue and cooperation with the American Chamber of Commerce, as it represents the place where economic decisions are made, reiterating his keenness to present the great opportunities for investment and economic cooperation that are available today in the Iraqi arena, at various levels and fields.

 The Prime Minister explained that the Iraqi economy today is looking for partners in development and modernization, not just contractors for implementation or supply. He pointed out that the government is working to transform Iraq's natural and mineral wealth into jobs that enhance prosperity and support economic growth rates.

 After that, a number of prominent representatives of American companies spoke about their aspiration for an effective partnership with Iraq, in light of the encouraging economic approach adopted by the Iraqi government, which has taken clear steps in the field of institutional, financial and banking reform, and securing an open and suitable investment environment for the work of international companies, at the highest levels and volumes of investment.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Zaidi, after signing the agreements in Washington: Baghdad's doors are open to you.

On Friday, following the signing of several agreements and memoranda of understanding with American companies during the investment summit held in Washington, Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced Iraq's intention to adopt an "open door" policy.

Al-Zaydi said in a speech during the signing ceremony, which was attended by a correspondent from Shafaq News Agency, that this policy is to facilitate the work of foreign investments, stressing that these agreements represent the fruit of mutual trust between the Iraqi government and American companies.

He added that the signed memoranda of understanding reflect Baghdad’s confidence in the competence of American companies, and in return, the confidence of those companies in the promising future and economic prospects of Iraq, promising them to achieve their investment aspirations on the ground.

Al-Zaydi also extended an official invitation to American companies to visit the capital, Baghdad, as soon as possible, with the aim of developing a roadmap and a clear practical plan for implementing joint projects.

Earlier today, Adam Cortese, CEO of the American renewable energy companies Sun Africa and UGTR, revealed to Shafaq News Agency that the executive steps for developing a strategic solar energy project in Iraq have begun in cooperation with the Iraqi Kar Group, confirming the opening of an office in Baghdad to manage the planned project.

An informed source revealed to Shafaq News Agency last Tuesday that Iraq will sign more than 18 agreements with the United States in various fields, including politics, economy, industry, energy, oil, education, health, investment and armament.

This comes as part of the agenda of the official visit that began last Monday by Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and his accompanying delegation, which included a number of ministers, senior officials, investors, business owners, and Iraqi capitalists.

Last Tuesday, during his meeting with al-Zaidi at the White House, US President Donald Trump announced that this week would see the unveiling of a major oil partnership with Iraq, in addition to extensive trade deals in various sectors.  link
