Tishwash: Economist: Iraq Needs The Oil Price To Stay At $85 For This Reason
The economist, Ali Al-Afandi, stressed, on Sunday, that achieving balance in the Iraqi economy needs to stabilize the oil price at 85 dollars per barrel.
Al-Affandi said, in a statement to the "Information" agency, that "the fact that prices remain at this point and that they do not decrease or rise will enable the government to restore recovery to its treasury, and thus it is possible to dispense with external borrowing, develop internal industries, and pay its internal loans."
He pointed out that “the rise in the price of oil to $90 or $100 will greatly harm oil prices because it will activate the production of American shale oil, which may be competitive with Arab oil, and therefore Iraq will be the first affected by this matter, because its share will be reduced to less than one and a half million barrels per day.”
He pointed out that “the rise in prices to this level must be invested, especially with the great oil discovery in Dhi Qar, in which more than one oil well appeared until last night,” noting that “the Ministry of Oil has to demand “OPEC” to raise Iraq’s percentage in the quantities of exported oil, taking into account due to his economic conditions.” link

Ryan1216: I'm praying Mustafa steps on the gas pedal of the monetary reform so we can cross the finish line. 2022 is right around the corner and I pray this doesn't go into next year
MilitiaMan: I pray too that this is not going that far.. The Digital Transformation is gaining steam and not slowing down, so, imo we still have a shot, as it is not only about Iraq, there is 136+ countries involved and have been for quite some time.
We have indicators that are supportive that there are things afoot as we cans see in the articles of late and recent times... They point to things are ready digitally now.
I believe it was PM Kahdimi who told them the expedite the E-government... That was days ago.. It has been since 10/31/20221 they launched the new digital system and said that digitals payment were to be imminent and that is not sounding like they are going to drag their feet... imo ~ MM

Diversification And Digitalization Are Reshaping Finance’s Future
Strictly speaking, it is far from a divorce, or even a serious breakup. But Asia’s leading economies are edging away from their eight-decade relationship with the US dollar for international trade.
Two forces are driving this evolution of the international monetary system. Amid rising geopolitical and geoeconomic fragmentation, policymakers are weighing economic efficiency against national security and strategic resilience. And digital innovation is lowering the cost of conducting transactions directly across currencies and financial networks.

Doing The Math: Interest Expense Is Going To $2 Trillion Annually
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 17, 2026
It was January 2000. AOL had just announced it was buying Time Warner in what was then the biggest merger in history. Fourteen dot-com companies had bought Super Bowl ads, one of them starring a sock puppet that sold dog food. The US economy was growing at one of its fastest paces ever; GDP was up nearly 5% the year before— and that’s real growth, before adding inflation, which itself was just 1.4%.

Central Banks No Longer Trust Each Other: The Global Rush To Gold | Mark Thornton
Kitco News: 9-18-2026
Mark Thornton called the housing bubble in 2004. For four years, he was told he was wrong. He now says every paper-dollar asset you own is facing a very difficult future, and the AI buildout is the clearest warning sign he has seen since.
In this interview with Jeremy Szafron, the Mises Institute senior fellow and author of The Skyscraper Curse explains why AI data centers are this cycle's record-breaking tower, why the bonds financing them run decades longer than the hardware, who gets stuck with the cost when a tenant stops paying, and why central banks no longer trusting each other is the best sign he has seen for gold.

Is the Five-Cent Coin Next to Go?
Discover why the U.S. nickel costs 13 cents to make and whether the five-cent coin is headed for the same fate as the recently retired penny.
September 08, 2026
The penny may be history at the U.S. Mint, but the debate over small change is far from over. In November 2025, the United States stopped producing pennies for general circulation after more than 230 years. As we discussed in The End of the U.S. Penny and What It Means for You, one of the biggest reasons was simple economics: A penny cost significantly more than one cent to manufacture. Now the same question is being asked about the nickel.

Information / Report The Iraqi economy has recently been experiencing financial and monetary instability, clearly manifested in the successful surges in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar in local markets.
