The industrial city is also preparing to embrace industrialists and provide land and services, which is a feature that we aspire to be implemented in all governorates.

He pointed to the new project, which is the first to produce glass, with a capacity of 800 tons per day, which means 25% of the local market’s need. The factory will rely on silica available in Iraq, stressing the availability of many raw materials that have not been invested. He also directed the necessity of implementation according to the plan and schedule. Timeline.

The Prime Minister affirmed the government’s support for the private sector, and the provision of guarantees for all priority projects, especially the housing and construction sector, which represents a large demand for construction materials, indicating the country’s need to triple the existing factories for coverage.

Al-Sudani called on the serious private sector to invest in this important opportunity, as the government continues to remove obstacles and bureaucracy, as this path will provide real job opportunities, and larger industries will settle in this city and other industrial cities.  LINK

Frank26  A second set of books is a normal business action.  Many companies, many firms for financial projections, for balances, for audit purposes, for changes whatever it may be, run a second set of books.  The second set of books is simple business practice.  It's not illegal unless you're doing it illegally under the table...This second set of books is not hidden...they [Iraq] expose it [their second second set of books] to the right people, IMF, World Bank, US Treasury...

Paulette  Many feel that if Iraq changes the rate, they will have tons of money just as they that hold IQD hopefully will.  The difference between "dinar holders" and the government of Iraq is that we hold IQD and they hold USD.  Where I think Iraq sees a windfall is if they pass the budget after the CBI 'reveals" the RD/RV to the world and thereafter RI's.  For example, if the CBI changes the rate to 1.30...and then the COM and Parliament pass the change to the budget tables, a 130 billion USD value budget will be 100 billion IQD.  If they then RI after to 2.60USD, that same 100 billion IQD will have the purchasing power of 260 billion USD...deficit solved...

Secret Banking Crisis Looms; What the Fed Doesn’t Want You to Know – Insider Nomi Prins

Daniela Cambone:  5-22-2024

"The Fed needs to understand its boundaries and stop pretending it’s like inflation Superman," says Dr. Nomi Prins, geopolitical finance expert and bestselling author.

She explains that the Fed has no ability to impact real inflation — the increased prices that individuals and companies face daily. She also discusses how the Fed is operating in conjunction with big banks.

Banks remit their excess earnings to the Fed, which then passes those earnings to the Treasury Department. However, because the banks haven’t reported enough of their excess earnings, the Fed is operating at a loss.

She warns that if these banks collapse, we can expect more quantitative easing and a return to zero interest rates.
