Dee and I received word this morning from our CBI Banker contact in Iraq regarding the article that came out on their interest in joining the BRICS system.

He stated that this was true and plans are in the works, but "not yet."

This move would require other countries to settle their payments inside the BRICS currency increasing the value of their local currency.

Iraq's entrance into the BRICS System would give them a real rate to settle their oil payments inside a digital asset-based trading system.

"The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has said that effective August 31, 2023, all applications for Form M must be accompanied by a valid Price Verification Report (PVR), which must be generated from its price verification portal."

Form M is an electronic application form used by clients to purchase foreign currency, so they can fulfill foreign currency payments in their trades.

Trade mechanism changes like this are no accident. Look around you. Trade mechanism changes are happening everywhere.

By the way, "Nigeria Imports from Iraq was US$7.05 Million during 2021, according to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade."

Watch the water.

👆"If monetary policy or fiscal policy impacts the price level, that country’s relative price level is higher relative to other countries, making its goods more expensive. This leads to a decrease in the demand for that currency, and therefore a depreciation of that currency."

The above article has more to do with "leveling the playing field" than indicating an exchange rate change my friends.

This keeps price manipulation from happening and gives an equal chance to produce more demand for their currencies inside a trade leading to an increase in value on both sides of a trade.

A "Double Bottom" is a bullish reversal pattern. In this case, it is appearing at the end of a bearish trend. This is a signal of a potential reversal.

Assuming we hold a bottom at the end of September, we will have gone through our monetary policy changes and much of our market corrections.

The ability to implement the new digital asset-based trading system through the activation of our tokenized assets currently in progress may begin based on real values.

Here, we will look to see if the caps on gold are released and eventually reset to back the tokenized assets in our new digital economy.

Oil is currently going through reforms as well and gold is attached to many of these new monetary mechanisms. When we reach the end of September, the Markets will let us know if we can begin seeing new prices on the commodity sector capable of supporting our new digital asset-based trading system.

"We're going to tap (the) Indian market - rupees - maybe by October in India," Kazbekov said.
"Now we start thinking seriously... to use one member country's currency to finance projects with that currency in another member. Let's say, a project in South Africa to be financed in CNY (Chinese yuan), not with USD (U.S. dollar)," he said.”

Last week the New Development Bank issued a bond denominated in the local Rand currency. Listed as ZAR, total of $1.5B was issued and set for maturity in 3 or 5 years. Now we see the NDB stating they are planning to issue a bond denominated in local Rupee currency. The BRICS bank is making a point of issuing bonds in local currency for local projects within member states. This is part of how they plan on providing for their members and avoiding imposed sanctions. The Rupee bond is expected to be issued by October.

A foreign currency convertible bond (FCCB) is a convertible bond that is issued in a foreign currency, which means the principal repayment and periodic coupon payments will be made in a foreign currency. For example, an American-listed company that issues a bond in India in rupees has, in effect, issued an FCCB.

👆 Could we see this financed by sovereign gold bonds? Time will tell.
