Ross: The IQD is Well on its Way

They don’t take .00076 dinars

Ross: The IQD is Well on its Way

8-7-2026

No one is talking about how big this actually is.

CBI is actively working to bring Apple, Google, and Meta into Iraq under proper licensing and payment regulation.

Those companies don’t take cash.

They don’t take .00076 dinars

So how exactly are Iraqi citizens supposed to participate in the modern digital economy?

The rails have to work.

IQD has to work.

This meeting is about more than just “regulation.”

AnnaMarieF:CBI: The Central Bank Governor discusses with the President of the Media and Communications Authority the regulation of digital payments. His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Nizar Nasser Hussein, met with the Chairman of the Executive Body of the Media and Communications Commission, Mr. Baligh Abu Kalal, to discuss mechanisms for enhancing joint cooperation in regulating digital payment services and developing the legislative and regulatory environment for the digital economy in Iraq.

Iraq is still heavily cash-based overall.

Full, clean integration of these platforms’ payment rails (Apple Pay proper, Google Pay as a real wallet, Meta payments, smooth international settlement) is not fully there yet.

That is literally what today’s meeting is about — regulating and licensing them so their systems can operate properly inside Iraq.

Cooperation between Erbil and Baghdad is absolutely critical to the HCL and consequentially the revaluation of IQD so be grateful for these headlines that are lacking even the slightest signs of confrontation.

AnnaMarieF:The Prime Minister assures the President of the Kurdistan Region of the government's commitment to addressing all pending files in accordance with the constitution and the law, in a manner that preserves Iraq's unity and sovereignty and strengthens national partnership.

Iraq has two problems:

1. Managing the liquidity emergency

2. Locking in a hard deadline on non-state arms

This is the exact environment where CBI/government pressure for rate realism, digital rails, or reserve management decisions tends to accelerate.

Salary delays create political urgency, the Sept 30 arms deadline creates a sovereignty deadline.

Both point toward the same requirement: a more coherent, investable Iraqi state that can actually collect and deploy its own resources.

IQD is a reflection of Iraq’s progress in saving itself.

Your pay day is when Iraq overcomes its challenges and finally prospers.

What I find fascinating about the lightning-speed progress toward the revaluation of IQD right now is that the moment President Trump “returned to office” in 2024 the CBI launched major banking sector reform initiatives that are now peaking in 2026 — right on schedule, at the convergence of the Iran War + crypto laws/regulation advancing.

No one can deny the “coincidence” of Iraq getting its act together all of a sudden.

Banking cleanup. Restricted banks getting cleared. Cashless mandate live. Directed lending expanding. Digital rails advancing.

Iranian influence being removed.

Crypto clarity advancing.

All of it accelerated after Trump returned and this was well before Al-Zaidi ignited a blitzkrieg of progress in Iraq.

Everything is moving on all fronts at once and no one realizes how much actually kick started behind the scenes the moment Nov 2024 struck.

Reset Intelligence:Scott B is doing the rounds again today. Wall Street now calls his playbook a 2nd Bretton Woods, and Iraq is coming off the punishment list piece by piece. Airline delisted. Hormuz route mapped. And the CBI building the licensing to put Apple and Google inside Iraq's payment rails. Nobody builds rails like that for a currency meant to stay where it is. As @Ross_ptm would say, "IQD hopium is justified right now." The man rebuilding the global monetary order is clearing Iraq's lane into it. Ep 66 connects the dots

Watch on X: https://twitter.com/i/status/2085329971963449523

And what’s even more interesting is the fact that Iraq has made so much progress in such a short time “all of a sudden” meanwhile they’re under the massive pressure of a liquidity crisis due to the process of removing Iranian influence.

I refuse to believe any of it is left to chance and that a plan was not laid out well in advance by the US Treasury to guide Iraq through this economic rebirth.

IQD is well on its way and no one can deny the ever increasing hype of hopium infused headlines bombing us investors to the point where you need MASSIVE news just to get excited right now.

Massive news is happening on an almost daily and weekly basis. Don’t take it for granted.

Security solidification with the Gulf is the baseline headline.

The real signal is investment deals between Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

That’s what makes Al-Zaidi’s visit actually fruitful — a stepping stone for IQD.

The Iran War proved why IQD never could have revalued without Iraq first boosting non-oil revenues.

The Iraqi Dinar should reflect Iraq’s true wealth of resources… but what happens when they can’t sell the oil?

Imagine if the dinar had revalued before the war.

How do you defend a stronger currency when you’re still 90%+ dependent on oil revenues that just got crippled?

Now they’re in a pure sink-or-swim position.

The tools they’re reaching for say everything: tax reforms, expanding ASYCUDA customs automation at the borders to choke smuggling and leakage, selling confiscated properties, and recovering stolen public funds held abroad.

That last one hits especially clean. Recovering the stolen money brings fresh revenue into the budget and stops the ongoing bleed. But the deeper win is that the same corruption being dismantled was the Iranian influence that had been rotting Iraq’s economy from the inside. As the war continues, every recovery is also cutting those channels out.

All by design.

Funny how the Strait of Hormuz turned into the exact pressure that forced this acceleration.

No other country is about to see a greater economic makeover as the end result.

Channel8English:  Iraq's budget deficit has expanded to between 70 trillion and 80 trillion Iraqi dinars, driven by lower oil prices and a sharp decline in crude export revenues, prompting the government to suspend hundreds of development projects and accelerate measures to increase non-oil income. Read more:https://channel8.com/english/news/63094

Goran is not some random Twitter account. He speaks for the actual traders in one of the main Kurdistan currency markets. When he talks, the parallel market listens.

The dinar can strengthen meaningfully if two conditions line up:

1. Political conditions inside Iraq stabilize

2. Tension around critical trade routes (specifically the Strait of Hormuz) eases

His specific call: the parallel rate could move to 142,000–147,000 IQD per $100.

Official CBI rate remains in the low 1,300s per dollar (roughly 130–132k per $100). The gap is still wide, but a sustained move into the mid-140s would be a clear narrowing.

Channel8English:  Slemani Market Spokesperson Jabar Goran Predicts Iraqi Dinar Strengthening Speaking to Channel8, Jabar Goran, spokesperson for the Slemani currency market, stated that the Iraqi dinar could strengthen against the US dollar if political conditions in Iraq stabilize and tension surrounding vital trade routes, such as the Strait of Hormuz, eases. Key Highlights: Economic Impact: Political stability in Iraq and uninterrupted maritime trade are crucial drivers for strengthening the local currency.

Al-Zaidi is acting like a PM who intends to keep the machine running and force the political system to close the gaps rather than wait indefinitely, removing the risk of the incomplete structure becoming an excuse for drift.

The trajectory is toward completion of the cabinet rather than prolonged stagnation.

Discomfort is the key to achieving growth in life.

Iraq is VERY uncomfortable right now.

The liquidity situation is actually quite dire.

The pressure building, the clock ticking, this is how the reforms will get pushed across the finish line.

Surviving the aftermath of the Iran War will set the stage for a prosperous Iraq and consequentially the revaluation of IQD.

Gas is flowing from a major KRG field into the federal grid.

Great.

But the operators went around the KRG — the actual contracting party — and unilaterally re-routed volumes without approval.

This is exactly the contractual mess the Hydrocarbon Law is supposed to fix.

A face-saving deal that respects the existing contract while keeping the gas flowing would be bullish for IQD.

It forces HCL as the permanent solution… and HCL requires the new rate.

The Man Who Broke the Pound

The Man Who Broke the Pound

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

The man who runs the US Treasury helped break the Bank of England in 1992 and beat the yen from inside the Soros fund. This week Wall Street started calling his currency moves a 2nd Bretton Woods, out loud.

And in the same news cycle, Iraq came off the punishment list piece by piece.

The man is the story

Scott Bessent’s history is not new news. He led the Soros team that broke the pound on Black Wednesday in 1992. He shorted the yen for the same firm 2 decades later. He taught economic history at Yale. And in late 2024, before he was even sworn in, he said on camera that a Bretton Woods realignment was underway and he wanted to be part of it.

What is new is that the mainstream has caught up. Bloomberg is writing about his hedge fund playbook at the Treasury. A chief market strategist published his note under the title Bretton Woods 2.0. The man told everyone the plan 2 years ago, and this week the market finally started saying it back.

What actually moved

• The yen operation – the US bought yen for the first time in over a decade, selling euros to do it, with a planned size of $5 to $10 billion visible in Bessent’s own handwriting on a Camp David notepad.

• The bond fix – Japan sold $66.7 billion of US Treasuries in May defending its currency alone. The new arrangement routes Japan through the Fed’s own repo window, so the bonds never touch the open market.

• Fly Baghdad delisted – the US Treasury removed Iraq’s carrier and 2 of its Boeing 737s from the sanctions list on August 5, while expanding sanctions on Iran’s Mahan Air the same week.

• Hormuz route mapped – Iran and Oman agreed the coordinates of a proposed shipping lane through the strait the same day, with a joint statement in final drafting.

• September 30 hardened – Iraq’s governing coalition confirmed weapons outside state authority will be prosecuted under the Anti-Terrorism Law after the deadline.

• The CBI builds rails – Iraq’s central bank met the communications regulator to build licensing for Apple, Google and Meta to operate formally inside Iraq’s payment system.

Each of those crossed the wire as a separate story. They are not separate. That is the short version. The full connection, what it means for the dinar, and the question of why this man was hired for this job at this exact moment is in today’s full briefing.

The only question history will ask is who saw it while it was actually happening.

Welcome everybody to the big call it is Thursday August  6th and you’re listening to the big call  thank you big call universe for tuning in again  - thanks everybody for being here and I'm kind of excited about what I want to bring tonight in my Intel segment, which I do have some good intel for us, and I'm looking forward to hearing from Sue, from Bob, and we're just on our way.

Now, what else do I want to tell you? Let's go into where we are on the intel tonight. What we're hearing is sort of what I said on Tuesday. If it didn't happen Wednesday, then we're looking at the eighth and ninth, which is Saturday, Sunday.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 8-6-26 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps   (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call it is Thursday August  6th and you’re listening to the big call  thank you big call universe for tuning in again  - thanks everybody for being here and I'm kind of excited about what I want to bring tonight in my Intel segment, which I do have some good intel for us, and I'm looking forward to hearing from Sue, from Bob, and we're just on our way.

Now, what else do I want to tell you? Let's go into where we are on the intel tonight. What we're hearing is sort of what I said on Tuesday. If it didn't happen Wednesday, then we're looking at the eighth and ninth, which is Saturday, Sunday.

One of our contacts, one of our sources, came out and said Saturday, Sunday, and added Monday as a possibility. Saturday, Sunday, or Monday. Now we do know that we have contacts. We have a contact very strong in Reno that was saying that the bondholders were being paid into their accounts, had to fly in and fly out of Reno approximately three flights per hour and 15 minutes in and out of Reno to get their stuff done. These guys have been approved; they're good to go.

I think this was the last step in their process to show up one more time and set up, you know, their accounts to be funded. We understand that the funding of those accounts out of Reno has taken place, but that doesn't mean they have access to the funds yet.

 It means they might see the money in their account, but they won't be able to spend it until they're given probably another email to say, "Okay, now you can spend it. Here's your access code, or whatever they need to do to get into it.

Now we have a contact that is down in Miami that is doing the same thing as of today, and that's telling me that let's say three or four days that were spent in Reno may be the same time frame to get the bondholders handled three or four days is happening starting today, but we know that the timeline for this individual is going to be. It looks like a couple of weeks. Tells me he may be there beyond the bonds to also help with the currency exchanges down in that part of Miami at the Redemption Center.

So that isn't telling us exactly what's going on, but it gives us an idea of what what's happening and what what is happening with the timeline.

The other thing is, we  know that the let's see where am I going on this? Gosh, so much of this has to do with the pickup on various aisles in the store. It's still a lot about that, and I don't have an up-to-date report until it's over on how we did in terms of the numbers.

I know some numbers. I'm not going to disclose some of the numbers, but we do believe things are still moving along nicely in that direction. But you know, it's kind of like they don't want the bad guys to get access to any exchange locations, banks, or redemption centers.

Okay, so I believe what we're talking about is trying to remove as much of the bad guys, the deep state, as they can before we get started, and to me, we know that certain things are going to be done by the weekend, and we also know That redemption center staff has been going in. For example, yesterday rates were not on the screens in the morning, but they were flashing rapidly in the afternoon.

Yesterday, today no rates on screens. Tomorrow, we don't know. We'll see. We know that Russia's currency, which is the ruble, has gone digital.

Now that means it should be on the forex, the Russian ruble. That is one of the currencies that's going to be revalued. We know that. That's one of the.

We've got 51 currencies now that are supposed to be on the redemption center screens for exchange, and of course I mentioned the  Zimbabwe dollar, which is actually redeemed as a bearer bond, and that's what we're going to do with the redemption centers.

That's why we call them redemption centers instead of banks. They're separate. Now listen, redemption centers might be connected right to a bank, or it could be a completely separate building or location that's not connected to a bank, but everyone in the United States is overseen by Wells Fargo, and they will have a representative there.

You'll have a Treasury representative there, and you'll have people that will be there to count and verify your currencies with a De La Rue machine, and then banks  have sometimes another brand of machine that they'll be using.

It wouldn't be the French word De La Rue, meaning from the street or of the street, du la rue. So that's interesting, and they're getting new machines and training bank personnel on how to do these exchanges.

Now I'm going to suggest that you go to the redemption center because, first of all, redemption centers are the only ones handling the Zimbabwe currency or bonds, as we call them, and we know that President Trump has already set up a contract rate on dinar at the redemption centers, and that's what you'll be offered, so at the Redemption Center, and the rate, like I said, is is extremely extremely high, and way higher than we ever thought it was going to be ever.

So keep that in mind if you have Iraqi Dinar.

Let me think. What else I wanted to mention to you guys tonight? It's a little bit fractured. There, there is intel coming in a little bit, but it's not a whole lot. A lot of it is quiet out there, and I really wanted want you guys to get the feeling that we are close, that we could be there this weekend.

 I don't know about tomorrow. I'm going to suggest the eighth, which is Saturday, Sunday, Monday has been added as a possibility, and it could be we get notified over the weekend.

Don't even start the exchange until Monday. I could see that happening, but we'll just have to track it. We'll just have to track it and follow it.

I'm wondering if there was anything else that you guys might need an update on, and I can't think of anything specific on it right now, you know. You know the drill when it comes to getting a toll-free number. You know to call, and AI will take your call at the call center to begin with, and theoretically you'll be you'll be taken and relocated directly to the redemption center, and is closest based on your zip code that would be entered, either orally or digitally.

I'm not sure with the AI how that's going to work. One other thing, you know, we're going to get Q phones, which are satellite phones, basically, one per individual or family at the redemption center. We hand it to you now. We know that they could run out of Q phones.

They might have 20 or 30 or 40 or whatever at a redemption center, they could run out. In which case, they have certificates for a free Q phone, which you would redeem at T-Mobile or maybe one other. Maybe it's AT&T. I don't know to get a free Q phone.

Now, I think what they'll do is when they run out of the physical phones, they'll substitute and give people that come in the in the third or fourth or fifth day or whatever it is for that redemption center.

They'll give them a certificate to get one. Are we going to get a certificate for, say, $1,000 to go to Best Buy for a new laptop?

Don't know. That was talked about. Have not heard an update on that. I don't think we need it. I think we're going to be able to go to Best Buy or any place we want to to get a new laptop, if we want.

I will say this: I plan to support Dell. I've got two Dell laptops now that are kind of antiquated, and I haven't been able to feed operate them in about 13/14, years.

Excuse me, But post Medved, I will be able to operate a laptop, and I'll do some of it. I'm not going to be sitting in front of a of a computer screen for the rest of my life. Forget it. Not going to do it. I'll be on the phone, but I'm not going to be looking at a computer screen.

Hopefully, I'll have a couple assistants that can keep up with emails and that kind of stuff. So, there's one other thing I wanted you guys to know about, and that was: Are there med beds, for example, in New Zealand, Australia, all of these other countries, the answer is yes.

And I got a number today, and we know that they have them now. This is internationally meaning apart from the United States and Canada, apart from the U.S. and Canada, Medbed centers with two Medbeds in each 170, 7000 globally around the world, not including the U.S. and Canada.

Now that may be a lot in some areas, and not as many in other highly populated countries. And maybe they'll add more. I would think they would, but that's the number I got today: 77,000 Medbed centers, apart from the United States and Canada, around the world.

So yes, they're in New Zealand. Of course, they're in Australia, and I'm sure that there's some countries that don't have that many. But certainly, that's part of getting them out there.

And yes, they are free to use, free for us, free to use. So beware of that. I think that's everything I had in the way of intel to give. I hope I don't think of anything else later.

So you'll have it, and hopefully, hopefully we get the 800 numbers that we're looking for this weekend.

So that's really all the intel that I wanted to share tonight. Thank you, guys, for considering going to Peter Sentinella's YouTube site and pulling up as he goes across United States. And it's going to be-it's very-it's a very good way to get an idea of what's going on across the country, and it's helping me to get prepared for a rebuild America.

Okay, so I can't wait to do that, and who knows what's going to happen from that. But let's go ahead and thank Sue for doing a marvelous job on everything that we're looking at right now, with the with the pod and with the classes and all of Big Call Universe that's out there listening.

Thank you, Bob, for all of the great advice and the testimonials and the new products that we have that are really making a difference in people's lives and their health and well-being.

And thank-I just want to thank everybody that's a contributor to the big call, and big call Universe for tuning in for the last 15 years.

Like Bob said, somebody came to visit him last week that had been listening to the call for 15 years. Some of you guys are out there and have done that, and I really appreciate that.

And even after we don't do live big calls anymore, I will still be in touch with everybody by email. So make sure you've got you sent your email to bigcalluniverse.com, and when we get the toll-free numbers, we will put them out.

We will put it on the website, and we'll put it in an email that'll come from from our servers, biggalluniverse.com. And then, of course, we'll if we get the number and can put it out live on the call, we'll do that too. They wanted us to do that, so we just needed to be able to do that.

So everybody, do this. Have a good weekend. Check out Peter Santonella's YouTube site. Check out to see what I'm talking about with his travel and and getting to know some of these small towns and all that stuff, I find it fascinating. I really enjoy it.

All right, so everybody have a good weekend, and let's see what transpires Saturday, Sunday, and Monday.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economics Updates Friday Afternoon 8-7-26

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Labor Market Weakens as Treasury Yields Fall — A New Test for Federal Reserve Policy

Unexpected job losses are reshaping rate expectations while investors confront a more uncertain path for U.S. monetary policy and government borrowing costs

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Labor Market Weakens as Treasury Yields Fall — A New Test for Federal Reserve Policy

Unexpected job losses are reshaping rate expectations while investors confront a more uncertain path for U.S. monetary policy and government borrowing costs

 OVERVIEW

  • U.S. employers unexpectedly cut 23,000 jobs in July, reversing expectations for continued job growth and raising fresh questions about the strength of the American economy.

  • Treasury yields fell as investors reduced expectations for an immediate Fed rate increase, with the 10-year Treasury yield moving down toward 4.64% following the employment report.

  • The development comes as Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh pushes for a more data-driven, market-led policy approach, potentially shifting more responsibility for determining borrowing costs onto bond markets at a time of elevated inflation and heavy government debt issuance.

KEY DEVELOPMENTS

1. U.S. Labor Market Delivers an Unexpected Warning

The July employment report showed that U.S. employers cut 23,000 jobs, sharply missing expectations for an increase of approximately 80,000 jobs.

The weakness was compounded by revisions that reduced previously reported employment gains for May and June by a combined 103,000 jobs. The data suggests that the labor market may be losing momentum even as inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s target.

2. Treasury Yields Respond as Rate Expectations Shift

The bond market reacted quickly to the weaker employment numbers. The 10-year Treasury yield fell to about 4.64%, while the two-year yield, which is particularly sensitive to expectations for Federal Reserve policy, also declined.

Lower yields can temporarily reduce borrowing pressure across the economy, but the broader picture remains complicated. Long-term Treasury yields have recently remained elevated, reflecting investor concerns about inflation, government borrowing and the amount of debt the market must absorb.

3. Warsh’s Federal Reserve Strategy Puts More Weight on Markets

Reuters reports that Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh is deliberately providing less forward guidance, arguing that monetary policy should respond more directly to incoming economic data rather than rely heavily on forecasts.

That approach means investors may have to determine more of the future path of interest rates themselves. Reuters noted that longer-term Treasury yields surged after the Fed's most recent meeting, with the 30-year yield reaching its highest level since 2007.

This represents an important structural change because the Treasury market is being asked to play a greater role in determining the price of money while the federal government continues to operate with substantial borrowing requirements.

4. The Fed Faces a Difficult Inflation-versus-Employment Balance

The weaker labor market could give the Federal Reserve more time before raising rates, but inflation remains the opposing force.

Markets are now watching the next round of inflation data closely. The July employment report may reduce pressure for an immediate September rate increase, but persistent inflation could keep monetary policy restrictive.

This creates a difficult policy environment: raising rates could further weaken employment, while easing too quickly could allow inflation to remain elevated.

5. Global Markets Are Repricing the U.S. Economic Outlook

The employment report immediately affected global markets. U.S. stocks moved higher, Treasury yields declined and the dollar weakened as investors reassessed the likelihood of near-term rate increases.

The significance extends beyond Wall Street. U.S. interest rates influence global borrowing costs, currency values, capital flows and sovereign bond markets around the world.

 WHY IT MATTERS

The combination of weaker employment, elevated inflation and high Treasury yields puts the Federal Reserve in an increasingly difficult position.

For the economy, higher borrowing costs can restrain investment, housing and consumer spending. For markets, uncertainty over the Fed's reaction function can increase volatility as investors attempt to price future policy without the level of guidance they have historically received.

The bigger issue is the Treasury market itself. If investors demand higher yields to hold long-term U.S. debt, the government faces higher financing costs, which can place additional pressure on future budgets.

This is why today's employment report is more than a jobs story. It is another signal that monetary policy, government debt and financial markets are becoming increasingly interconnected.

WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS

  • Currency values: Changes in U.S. interest-rate expectations can quickly influence the dollar against other major currencies.

  • Purchasing power: Persistent inflation can continue to affect the real value of currencies and household purchasing power.

  • Capital flows: Changes in Treasury yields can redirect global investment between U.S. assets, foreign markets and hard assets.

  • Exchange-rate pressure: A weaker dollar can alter the relative value of foreign currencies and influence international trade and commodity prices.

IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET

  • Pillar 1: Debt

The most direct structural implication is Debt. Higher Treasury yields increase the cost of financing existing and future U.S. government borrowing.

If long-term yields remain elevated, governments around the world may face greater pressure to reconsider debt levels, fiscal sustainability and the cost of maintaining large borrowing programs.

  • Pillar 2: Assets

The second directly affected pillar is Assets. Changes in Treasury yields influence how investors value stocks, bonds, currencies, gold and other stores of value.

As investors reassess the reliability of traditional fixed-income assets, capital can move between sovereign debt, equities, commodities and alternative assets, contributing to broader changes in global asset allocation.

CONCLUSION

Today's employment report provides another indication that the U.S. economy may be entering a more complicated phase, with labor-market weakness emerging while inflation remains elevated.

At the same time, the Federal Reserve is moving toward a policy framework in which markets may have to interpret economic data with less forward guidance. That places greater importance on Treasury yields as a real-time measure of investor expectations and confidence.

For the broader financial system, the critical question is no longer simply whether the Fed raises or lowers rates. It is how markets, government debt and monetary policy will interact as the global financial system adjusts to a higher-cost borrowing environment.

The Global Reset is not defined by one announcement—it is revealed through the gradual restructuring of debt, markets and the systems that determine the price of money.

To boost liquidity

A source reported in press statements that a new batch of cash dollars had arrived in Iraq, sent by the US Federal Reserve to the Central Bank of Iraq.

Within the framework of periodic agreements between the Central Bank of Iraq and the US Federal Reserve

Controlling the demand for foreign currency

The source told the official agency that "the US Federal Reserve sent a new batch of cash dollars to the Central Bank of Iraq worth $500 million."

He added that "the amount sent will be invested in transactions related to travelers and foreign remittances, with the approval of the Central Bank of Iraq."

This payment comes as part of the periodic agreements between the Central Bank of Iraq and the US Federal Reserve to supply the local market with dollar liquidity and to cover the needs of travelers and foreign remittances, at a time when Baghdad is seeking to stabilize the exchange rate. link

Tishwash: The United States begins dismantling its air defense systems in Iraq as the withdrawal date approaches.

 The United States has begun reducing its military presence in Iraq by dismantling its last air defense systems in the Kurdistan region, as the scheduled end of its forces' mission in the country approaches at the end of September.

Reports indicate that Patriot missile batteries stationed near Erbil International Airport have begun withdrawing, after playing a key role in countering missile and drone attacks targeting the region in recent months.

This development comes as the Iraqi government continues to implement its plan to restrict weapons to the state, and emphasizes that no armed formations will be allowed outside the framework of official institutions after the end of September, at a time when efforts continue to end the mission of the international coalition against ISIS.

Observers believe that reducing air defense systems raises concerns about the Kurdistan Region's ability to confront any future attacks, especially in light of the absence of an independent air defense system and the continued security tensions in the region.

In contrast, analysts point out that the American withdrawal may not be complete, but may take the form of a reorganization of the military presence, while maintaining limited defensive capabilities to protect American interests and diplomatic and military facilities inside Iraq.

Experts also link the future of the American presence to the course of growing economic relations between Baghdad and Washington, especially after the signing of dozens of investment agreements in the fields of energy, technology and infrastructure, which reflect a trend towards expanding bilateral cooperation outside the security framework.

Experts confirm that the next phase will determine the nature of the Iraqi-American partnership, in light of the continued security and regional challenges, and whether Washington will maintain a limited defensive presence in Iraq, or proceed towards a broader withdrawal while relying on economic and strategic cooperation between the two countries.  link

Al-Zaidi Retains Control of Defense and Interior Ministries; No Appointments Imminent as Strict Criteria Disqualify Candidates

Last updated: August 7, 2026 – 1:15 AM

Informed government sources have revealed that Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi, does not currently intend to finalize appointments for the Ministries of Defense and Interior. He prefers to maintain their administration on an acting basis, given his confidence in the performance of current leadership and his direct oversight of the two security institutions' operations.

 According to the sources, Al-Zaidi has established rigorous professional and security criteria for selecting candidates for these ministries. They emphasized that names circulating in political circles are baseless and that the matter remains on hold as the government focuses on more pressing issues—foremost among them the financial crisis, the expansion of economic and investment partnerships, and managing the repercussions of regional developments.

 The sources explained that while relevant political blocs have the right to nominate candidates in accordance with their constitutional entitlements, the final decision rests with the Commander-in-Chief. He will not approve any candidate who fails to align with the standards he has set for managing the two security institutions.

 This stance follows the Parliament's vote of confidence in Al-Zaidi’s government months ago—a government formed only partially, with several portfolios, including Defense and Interior, remaining vacant due to persistent political disagreements over candidates. Since assuming the premiership, Al-Zaidi has initiated sweeping changes within military and security institutions, redrawing the high-level command structure. These moves coincided with an unprecedented campaign against financial and administrative corruption, resulting in the dismissal and arrest of officials, as well as the recovery of funds and assets worth billions of dinars.

As part of the security sector restructuring, he tasked Senior Undersecretary Hussein Al-Awadi with managing the Ministry of Interior in an acting capacity. He also brought former Interior Minister Lieutenant General Abdul Amir Al-Shammari back to the forefront by appointing him Director of the Office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Al-Zaidi capped these changes by dissolving the Joint Operations Command and merging it with the Office of the Commander-in-Chief and the National Operations Center into a unified security entity. Observers view this move as part of a broader initiative to consolidate command and control, accelerate the plan to restrict arms to state control, reorganize the security apparatus, and integrate the Popular Mobilization Forces into official defense institutions.  link

Tishwash:  Iraq adopts Apple as a trusted platform to promote electronic payments

The head of the executive body of the Media and Communications Commission, Baligh Abu Kalal, announced on Thursday that Apple has been approved as a verified digital platform to operate in Iraq, after completing all the requirements and procedures stipulated in the framework regulations for digital platforms and services.

Abu Kalal said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that the accreditation includes classifying Apple as a trusted digital service provider for its services represented by ( App Store , Apple Music , Apple Podcasts , Apple Arcade , and Apple Ads ), after it has met the technical and legal requirements approved by the Media and Communications Commission, which allows the provision of these services within an official regulatory framework that is consistent with the laws and regulations in force in the Republic of Iraq.

He pointed out that the adoption of global digital platforms falls within a strategy aimed at aligning the services of international companies with Iraqi legislation, ensuring the protection of users’ rights, supporting the digital economy, and developing the investment environment in the information technology sector.

He added that the commission continues to work with major international companies and platforms to complete licensing and accreditation procedures, which will contribute to expanding the scope of digital services, regulating electronic payment operations, and enhancing Iraq’s presence in the global digital economy  link

Tishwash: IMAX technology enters Iraqi cinemas; Minister Sarwa says it's a step towards keeping pace with developed countries.

Mall of Iraq (Baghdad) 

On Thursday (August 6, 2026), the capital Baghdad witnessed the opening of the first “IMAX” theater in Iraq, located inside the Mall of Iraq, in the presence of the Acting Minister of Culture, Tourism and Antiquities, Sarwa Abdul Wahid, who affirmed the ministry’s support for investment and artistic projects aimed at developing the film and theater industry in the country.

As Iraq officially entered the era of modern cinematic display technologies, those in charge of the project revealed plans to establish the second IMAX theater in Baghdad, in addition to the largest private theater with a capacity of more than 5,000 spectators to host Arab and international concerts and artistic performances, stressing that the prices of tickets for the new theater are among the lowest in the world.

Culture: Developing cinema requires competition

Acting Minister of Culture, Tourism and Antiquities, Sarwa Abdul Wahid, confirmed to 964 Network that the ministry supports artistic and investment projects that contribute to the development of the cinema and theater sectors, considering the opening of the first IMAX theater in Iraq as an important step that reflects the existence of cultural investments that keep pace with what exists in developed countries.

She added that developing the film industry requires an investment mindset based on competition, stressing that complete reliance on the state in managing this sector will not achieve the desired success, noting that the ministry is open to supporting projects that contribute to the production and screening of films.

5 years to reach the first IMAX in Iraq

Zaid Al-Khafaji, CEO of Iraqi Cinema, told 964 Network that work on the IMAX project took more than 5 years due to the strict technical requirements imposed by the technology's owner, explaining that the team was finally able to complete all the requirements and obtain the official license.

He added that the success of the project prompted the company to plan to establish a second IMAX theater in the Karkh district, explaining that Baghdad received an exception due to its size and population, even though the company's policy usually stipulates that there should be only one theater in each city.

The largest private theater in Iraq

Al-Khafaji revealed a new direction for the company towards investing in the theater sector, explaining that Iraq lacks a hall that can accommodate concerts and major artistic performances. Therefore, work is underway on a project to establish a theater that can accommodate more than 5,000 spectators, to host Arab and foreign singers and artists and public events.

He added that ticket prices in Baghdad are among the lowest globally for IMAX theaters, noting that they start from 15,000 dinars for front seats, 18,000 dinars for middle seats, and 25,000 dinars for VIP seats, despite deducting percentages from the ticket value for the benefit of IMAX and film production companies.  ink

Ross: The Solution that will Boomerang the IQD Revaluation

8-7-2026

Iraq does not revalue the Dinar to escape crises of this severity BUT sink-or-swim is the only thing that historically forces Baghdad to move on structural files that have been stalled for years.

The solution that will provide a boomerang towards the revaluation of IQD.

1. Real expenditure rationalization and non-oil revenue expansion.

2. Acceleration of the long-delayed Oil & Gas Law / Hydrocarbon Law framework. This is the single biggest structural unlock for sustained higher oil revenue and FDI.

3. Banking-sector cleanup, better customs collection (ASYCUDA push), and tighter control over regional revenue transfers. Better customs collection and forcing the Region to transfer what it owes directly improves the federal cash position without new borrowing.

4. Possible formal borrowing authority that comes with conditions or oversight. The version that helps the longer-term case is borrowing that is explicitly tied to reform milestones, spending limits, transparency requirements, and parliamentary or external oversight.

5. Serious corruption cleanup and recovery of public/stolen funds. Recovering looted or mismanaged public money is pure liquidity that does not create new debt. It strengthens reserves, reduces the need for printing or emergency borrowing, and signals that the system is finally being cleaned.

6. Continued push on digital payments / reduced cash economy (cuts leakage and improves tax collection).

7. Clear, enforced resolution of the Kurdistan oil and revenue-sharing mechanism so the federal budget is no longer constantly bleeding.

8. Full completion of the cabinet under al-Zaidi and a functioning government that can actually pass and implement the above (vote coming 8/15-20).

None of these items equals an automatic higher dinar rate.

Collectively they shrink the fiscal hemorrhage, raise the quality of revenue, reduce leakage, and make the revalued currency defensible.

All of this is achievable and Baghdad has no choice but to act swiftly.

Lightning-speed fire under Iraq’s a*s progress is and will continue to unfold.

How long can Iraq hold its breath under water?

Walkingstick   [Iraqi bank friend Aki update] The shortage in liquidity in the markets is causing a big demand on the 3-zero notes...It means the rate is going in the right direction...There are no more 3-zero notes...now there's a huge demand for the 2-zero notes and shortly there will be a great demand for the 1-zero notes...after the 1-zero notes will be the lower notes...Every day our rate fluctuates...The important part is the direction it's going.  Every day our currency is gaining value.  That's why the RI and the RD will be here soon.  We are geared up to go international. 

Stephen  The last 6 months we have seen change happen like never before.  As someone who has been involved in this investment since 2011, Iraq has let deadlines come and go.  They have meant nothing to Iraq.  But...since the Trump administration has gotten involved with them, we have a new prime minister who is getting rid of corruption, he's signing big deals, it's putting pressure on the HCL law...we have Starlink which is going to allow citizens to do online banking, we have all of these banking reforms being implemented right now.  This stuff is happening right before our very eyes...We are in very exciting times.

Jeff   There's a massive currency shortage.  They're claiming it's due to lack of oil revenues from the war... Iraq talks to you out of both sides of their mouth...You need to think about this from both sides...What are things that might happen when the rate's about to change?  ...January through June, they kept telling us, 'Hey, we're eventually going to have to adjust the salary pay scales.' What causes that?  ...A rate change force them to have to adjust salary pay scales...Is it possible they're not paying salaries because they need to adjust the pay scale? ...New currency denominations impact the budget and the salary pay scales...All possibly suggest the rate is about to change.  Those are things Iraq can't tell you.  Iraq had no problem paying salaries during the first half of the year but when you hit the second half of the year it's magically a big problem, which is potentially a new budget period.

Three Tankers Dock At Basra To Load Iraqi Crude

2026-08-06 16:05 Shafaq News- Basra   Three oil tankers with a combined storage capacity of 5.3 million barrels docked at Iraq's southern Basra port on Thursday to load crude oil, a source familiar with the matter told Shafaq News.

Two of the vessels have a capacity of 2 million barrels each, while the third can carry 1.3 million barrels.

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.

Dollar Gains As Iran Deal Doubts Lift Safe-Haven Demand

2026-08-07 01:16    Shafaq News   The dollar drifted higher against the yen and euro on Friday, building on ‌the previous day's gains as doubts about an Iran peace deal buffed the U.S. currency's appeal as a haven.

The greenback also drew support from higher Treasury yields after a Financial Times report citing sources close to Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh pointed to the potential ​for a September interest rate hike, depending on incoming data.

The monthly U.S. payrolls report, due later on ​Friday, could provide more clues on the Fed's rate path.

The dollar rose slightly to 158.505 ⁠yen in the Asian morning, after gaining 0.4% on Thursday, putting it on course to rise around 0.7% ​this week as it recovered from a bout of joint Japan-U.S. intervention that sent the U.S. currency tumbling from near ​a four-decade high above 163 yen on Thursday to a 13-week low of 155.20 on Monday.

Against the euro , the greenback edged up to $1.1521 after strengthening about 0.3% in the prior session.

Tensions continued to play out in the Gulf after Reuters reported a proposed deal between ​Iran and Oman to help end the U.S.-Iran conflict could give Tehran control over inbound traffic through the Strait ​of Hormuz.

The U.S. did not immediately comment on the proposal. President Donald Trump has said that a deal to reopen the strait ‌was imminent, ⁠but U.S. officials have repeatedly insisted that they would never agree to Iranian control of access to the world's most important trade route for energy supplies.

Brent crude rose a little over a dollar on Friday to trade at $83.55 per barrel, after settling up more than $3 in the previous session.

The heightening inflation risks weighed on Treasuries, sending yields higher.

"USD ​was supported by higher oil ​prices (following) news that a ⁠deal between the U.S. and Iran to reopen the strait is further away than hoped," said Kristina Clifton, an economist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia.

She and other analysts also ​pointed to the FT report saying Warsh was open to a September hike if ​inflation data is ⁠strong, although Clifton added, "We expect the Fed to wait until December before starting a modest tightening cycle."

A divided U.S. central bank left rates unchanged last month, but Warsh said he was committed to bringing inflation down.

U.S. nonfarm payrolls are forecast ⁠to have ​risen by 80,000 last month after an increase of 57,000 in ​June, according to a Reuters survey of economists. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 4.2%.

Against sterling , the dollar strengthened slightly to $1.3449.

The ​Australian dollar weakened a touch to $0.7029 and the kiwi dollar edged down to $0.5866. (REUTERS)

Gold Hits Seven-Week High Before US Payrolls

2026-08-07 03:39   Shafaq News   Gold rose more than 1% on Friday ‌and was set for its biggest weekly gain since January, helped by weaker oil prices, while investors awaited key U.S. nonfarm payrolls data for clues on the interest rate outlook.

Spot gold was up ​1.1% at $4,285.89 per ounce, by 0635 GMT, after hitting a seven-week high on ​Thursday. Prices gained 6% for the week.

U.S. gold futures rose 1.1% to $4,344.90.

Hopes ⁠of peace in the Middle East pushed inflation expectations lower, allowing gold to ​surge from a multi-week consolidation above $4,000, said Matt Simpson, a senior analyst at StoneX.

U.S. President Donald ​Trump told reporters that he believed the war with Iran would be over soon.

Crude oil prices were headed for a weekly loss. Lower energy prices help ease inflation concerns and reduce expectations of higher-for-longer ​interest rates. Gold is an inflation hedge, but elevated interest rates tend to weigh ​on its appeal as it offers no yield.

The U.S. Labor Department's nonfarm payrolls report for July is ‌due ⁠at 1230 GMT.

"Regardless of how NFP plays out, $4,000 has proven to be a solid support level - and I suspect bulls are waiting for dips to take advantage of a much-needed correction higher towards $4,600. NFP may provide some noise over the near term, but ​price action has spoken, ​and gold looks like ⁠it wants to rally," Simpson added.

Traders currently see a 55% chance of a U.S. rate hike in September, according to the ​CME FedWatch Tool.

"Going into August, we are somewhat friendlier towards gold ​and expect ⁠a wider trading band to set in," Marex said in a note.

Silver prices are testing the upper end of a trading range that has held for nearly two months, and a ⁠breakout ​could pave the way towards $68, it said.

Spot silver climbed ​3.3% to $63.48, platinum rose 1.5% to $1,755.90 and palladium gained 0.3% to $1,374.30. All three metals were headed for weekly ​gains.  (Reuters)

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Strengthens Alternative Trade Architecture: Global Financial System Continues Its Structural Shift

As BRICS prepares for its 2026 Summit, member nations are accelerating efforts to expand local-currency trade and strengthen alternative payment infrastructure, signaling another step toward a more multipolar global financial system.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS Strengthens Alternative Trade Architecture: Global Financial System Continues Its Structural Shift

As BRICS prepares for its 2026 Summit, member nations are accelerating efforts to expand local-currency trade and strengthen alternative payment infrastructure, signaling another step toward a more multipolar global financial system.

 Overview

  • India's BRICS presidency is accelerating discussions on expanding local-currency trade, payment connectivity, and financial cooperation ahead of the September BRICS Summit.

  • Rather than pursuing a single BRICS currency, members continue focusing on practical alternatives that reduce reliance on traditional dollar-based payment systems.

  • These developments represent a gradual restructuring of global trade architecture that could influence international finance for years to come.

Key Developments

1. BRICS Summit Preparations Intensify

India's presidency of BRICS continues gathering momentum through a series of ministerial meetings leading up to the September 2026 Leaders' Summit.

Finance ministers, central bank officials, and trade representatives are working to strengthen economic cooperation while expanding mechanisms that facilitate trade among member nations. The meetings reflect the bloc's long-term strategy of building stronger financial connections without disrupting global markets.

2. Focus Shifts Toward Practical Trade Solutions

Recent discussions continue emphasizing local-currency settlement, payment interoperability, and financial cooperation instead of creating a common BRICS currency.

Member countries increasingly view expanding settlement in national currencies as a practical way to lower transaction costs, reduce exchange-rate exposure, and improve resilience in international trade. This gradual approach has gained support because it builds on existing financial infrastructure rather than replacing it overnight.

3. Payment Infrastructure Continues to Evolve

A major objective remains improving cross-border payment efficiency.

BRICS members are examining ways to better connect national payment systems and explore interoperable digital payment technologies that could simplify international commerce. These initiatives are designed to complement existing financial networks while providing businesses with additional settlement options.

4. Global Markets Continue Watching the Shift

Although the U.S. dollar remains the world's dominant reserve currency, investors increasingly recognize that global trade is becoming more diversified.

Rather than replacing the dollar, BRICS nations are gradually expanding the use of alternative settlement mechanisms where practical. This measured evolution reflects changing trade relationships and a broader trend toward a more diversified international financial system.

 Why It Matters

The evolution of global trade architecture is occurring through incremental policy changes rather than dramatic announcements. Expanding local-currency settlement and payment interoperability can reduce transaction costs, improve financial resilience, and diversify international commerce.

While these developments do not eliminate the role of the U.S. dollar, they demonstrate how major economies are steadily building additional financial infrastructure alongside the existing system.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

  • Growing use of local currencies may gradually diversify global capital flows.

  • Alternative payment systems could reduce settlement costs in international trade.

  • Broader currency diversification may influence long-term exchange rate trends.

  • A more multipolar financial system could create new opportunities and risks for international investors.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Trade

BRICS continues expanding the infrastructure that supports trade in local currencies and improves cross-border settlement. These efforts represent a gradual modernization of international commerce by providing additional payment channels alongside traditional systems.

  • Pillar: Technology

Payment interoperability and digital financial infrastructure remain central to BRICS' long-term strategy. Rather than replacing existing networks, member nations are building complementary technologies designed to improve efficiency, resilience, and financial connectivity.

Conclusion

The significance of today's developments lies not in a single announcement but in the continued, methodical expansion of alternative financial infrastructure.

As BRICS prepares for its upcoming summit, the focus remains on strengthening practical trade mechanisms that can support long-term economic cooperation.

This is not simply about BRICS expanding trade—it reflects the broader evolution of global financial architecture as nations develop additional payment systems, diversify settlement methods, and gradually modernize international commerce.

 🌱 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.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Evening 8-6-26

Iraq Is Facing A Liquidity Crisis... Will The Government Resort To Printing Money To Secure Salaries?

August 6, 2026Last updated: August 6, 2026   The Independent - Iraqi finances are facing increasing pressure as oil revenues continue to decline, at a time when the government needs about 8 trillion dinars per month to cover the salaries of employees and retirees and social welfare benefits, in addition to other government obligations and expenditures, which has brought the issue of liquidity back to the forefront of economic discussion.

Iraq Is Facing A Liquidity Crisis... Will The Government Resort To Printing Money To Secure Salaries?

August 6, 2026Last updated: August 6, 2026   The Independent - Iraqi finances are facing increasing pressure as oil revenues continue to decline, at a time when the government needs about 8 trillion dinars per month to cover the salaries of employees and retirees and social welfare benefits, in addition to other government obligations and expenditures, which has brought the issue of liquidity back to the forefront of economic discussion.

 According to a report published by Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper and followed up by Al-Mustaqila, the limited financial options available have prompted the proposal to print currency to return again as one of the scenarios proposed to provide liquidity, amid economic warnings that this option may have serious repercussions on inflation, the exchange rate of the dinar, and the purchasing power of citizens.

These developments come at a time when the Central Bank of Iraq is seeking to maintain monetary stability and manage liquidity levels, as it has previously warned against using the issuance of new money to finance public expenditures, stressing that financing the deficit through this route could lead to increased inflation and a decline in the value of the currency.

Economic experts believe that Iraq faces a large funding gap as a result of declining oil revenues, since the general budget depends mainly on oil exports, which means that any decrease in prices or exported quantities directly affects the state’s ability to finance its obligations.

Financial and banking expert Mahmoud Dagher said that the decline in oil revenues has created a gap between available resources and the size of monthly spending, noting that Iraq needs billions of dollars monthly to cover salaries, while revenues have fallen to levels that are not sufficient to meet obligations.

Dagher warned that resorting to increased monetary issuance or a large expansion of domestic debt could lead to additional pressures on the economy, including higher inflation, increased pressure on monetary reserves, and the potential impact on the dinar's exchange rate against the dollar.

He pointed out that the current crisis is not only related to the decline in oil prices or the decrease in exports, but also reveals structural challenges that have accumulated over the past years, including high operating spending, weak diversification of revenue sources, and the need for broader financial reforms.

For his part, economist Safwan Qusay stressed that managing liquidity during the next phase requires setting spending priorities, so that the government focuses on salaries, the social safety net and basic expenditures, while working to reduce unnecessary expenditures and increase non-oil revenues.

Qusay explained that among the possible solutions are improving the collection of taxes and fees, enhancing revenues at border crossings, recovering public funds, in addition to supporting other economic sectors to reduce dependence on oil as an almost sole source of budget financing.

He also pointed to the importance of restoring oil export levels and diversifying shipping routes, noting that any increase in exports will take time to be reflected in government revenues, which makes interim solutions necessary to manage the current crisis.

In the same context, Jamal Kojar, a member of the parliamentary finance committee, confirmed that the government faces limited options for providing liquidity in the coming months, explaining that recovering funds and maximizing revenues are part of the solution, but they may not provide large resources quickly.

He added that other options, such as increasing taxes or selling some state assets, could have economic and social repercussions, while printing money remains an option despite the risks that may accompany it.

Observers believe that the current liquidity crisis represents a real test for Iraqi fiscal policy, as protecting salaries on the one hand, and maintaining currency and price stability on the other, require solutions that go beyond temporary measures, towards a comprehensive reform that restructures spending and strengthens non-oil revenue sources.

Recent developments confirm that Iraq’s continued dependence on oil makes its economy vulnerable to repeated shocks, placing the government in a position where it must accelerate the building of a more diversified economy capable of withstanding financial crises. https://mustaqila.com/العراق-أمام-أزمة-سيولة-هل-تلجأ-الحكومة/

Shortages And Low-Quality Fuel Drive Restrictions In Iraq’s Nineveh

2026-08-06  Shafaq News- Nineveh  A gasoline shortage in Iraq’s Nineveh province has left motorists facing long queues at fuel stations, with growing complaints over fuel quality and supply availability as authorities move to tighten distribution controls and curb unauthorized trading.

Drivers across the province told Shafaq News that the problem has extended beyond waiting times, with many describing poor vehicle performance from the gasoline being supplied, including subsidized “improved” fuel. They attributed repeated vehicle problems and engine damage to the low octane levels found in some supplies.

An official at the State Oil Products Distribution Company disclosed that new measures will be introduced to regulate fuel distribution and prevent unauthorized trading.

The planned system would require vehicle owners to obtain gasoline through a fuel card system using existing paper cards, electronic cards, or mobile-linked QR codes. The measures would also verify vehicle ownership details before fuel is supplied.

Nineveh has long relied on a fuel card system, but oil authorities are now working to strengthen monitoring mechanisms. The Provincial Council is also seeking a higher daily fuel allocation for the city, while residents have called for imported gasoline to undergo technical testing before entering the market to ensure it meets required quality standards.

In Iraq’s Kurdistan Region (KRI), fuel prices have faced pressure in recent months. Commercial gasoline exceeded 1,300 dinars ($0.99) per liter before a July price cap was introduced. In Al-Sulaymaniyah, regular gasoline reached 1,000 dinars ($0.76) per liter in June, while improved and super grades were sold for 1,200 dinars ($0.92) and 1,350 dinars ($1.03), respectively.

KRI requires between 126,700 and 140,000 barrels of fuel per day but receives about 50,000 barrels from the federal government, according to Acting Natural Resources Minister Kamal Mohammed. More than 2.709 million vehicles are registered across the region, adding further pressure on subsidized fuel supplies.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

CLARITY Act at a Crossroads: Senate Faces Final Window Before August Recess

With only hours remaining before the Senate's August recess, lawmakers face mounting pressure to decide whether the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act advances toward a historic vote or slips into an uncertain fall legislative calendar.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

CLARITY Act at a Crossroads: Senate Faces Final Window Before August Recess

With only hours remaining before the Senate's August recess, lawmakers face mounting pressure to decide whether the Digital Asset Market CLARITY Act advances toward a historic vote or slips into an uncertain fall legislative calendar.

 Overview

  • The Senate has not yet filed cloture on the CLARITY Act, leaving only anarrow procedural window for action before the August recess.

  • Supporters remain optimistic that negotiations could still produce a breakthrough, while opponents continue raising concerns over ethics provisions and regulatory oversight.

  • The outcome could significantly influence the future of U.S. digital asset regulation and America's leadership in financial innovation.

Key Developments

1. Senate Clock Continues to Tick

The Senate has not yet filed a cloture motion, the procedural step required before debate can be limited and the legislation can move toward a vote.

While Senate leadership has indicated the bill remains a priority, the legislative calendar has become increasingly compressed. If cloture is not filed promptly, meaningful action before the August recess becomes increasingly difficult.

2. Supporters Say There Is Still Time

Several lawmakers continue expressing confidence that the legislation can still advance.

Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has maintained there is still an opportunity to move the legislation before lawmakers leave Washington. Senate Republican Whip John Barrasso has also voiced support for providing greater regulatory clarity for digital assets, reinforcing continued momentum among supporters despite procedural delays.

3. Opposition Centers on Ethics and Oversight

Democratic opposition remains focused primarily on ethics provisions and regulatory safeguards.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has argued that portions of the legislation were heavily influenced by the cryptocurrency industry and has called for stronger consumer protections and stricter oversight. Other lawmakers continue negotiating revisions involving ethics enforcement, decentralized finance, and anti-money laundering provisions in hopes of attracting bipartisan support.

4. Markets Continue Watching Washington

The digital asset industry is closely monitoring every procedural development.

Many market participants believe passage of the CLARITY Act would provide long-awaited regulatory certainty by more clearly defining the responsibilities of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Even if a final vote does not occur before recess, negotiations are expected to continue when Congress returns.

 Why It Matters

The CLARITY Act represents one of the most significant attempts to modernize the regulatory framework governing digital assets in the United States.

Clear rules could reduce uncertainty for financial institutions, technology firms, and investors while encouraging responsible innovation. Conversely, additional delays could prolong regulatory ambiguity as federal agencies continue developing guidance under existing authorities.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

  • Digital asset regulation may influence future payment systems and cross-border financial infrastructure.

  • Greater regulatory clarity could strengthen confidence in U.S. financial markets and digital asset innovation.

  • Global capital flows increasingly consider jurisdictions offering clear legal frameworks for emerging financial technologies.

  • Regulatory modernization may shape how digital assets interact with traditional currencies in international commerce.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Technology

The CLARITY Act reflects the growing effort to establish modern legal frameworks for blockchain technology and digital financial infrastructure. As governments develop rules for digital assets, regulatory certainty becomes increasingly important for innovation, investment, and long-term financial modernization.

  • Pillar: Assets

Digital assets continue evolving into a recognized asset class within the broader financial system. A clearer regulatory framework could improve institutional participation, market transparency, and investor confidence while helping define how digital assets fit alongside traditional financial markets.

Conclusion

The coming days will determine whether the Senate advances one of the most consequential financial technology bills considered in recent years or postpones the debate until later this year.

Although negotiations remain active, the narrowing legislative calendar leaves little room for procedural delays. Regardless of this week's outcome, the debate surrounding digital asset regulation is expected to remain a central issue for financial markets and policymakers.

This is not simply about cryptocurrency legislation—it reflects the broader effort to establish the legal framework for integrating digital assets into the future of the global financial system.
