Reset Intelligence: Washington Sends its Closer to Baghdad

6-16-2026

Washington Sends the Closer

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

One day after the United States and Iran put their names to a deal, Washington put its closer on a plane to Baghdad.

You do not send your closer to walk the file the day after the signature unless the deal underneath it is real.

The envoy walks the file

Tom Barrack, the US Special Presidential Envoy for Iraq and Syria, landed in Baghdad on Monday, met Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, then flew to Erbil to sit with the Barzanis. Oil is 84 percent of what Iraq earns. Friday’s signing in Geneva lifts the blockade that cut that income to a trickle. He is not in Iraq to observe.

The moves on the table

• The Erbil deadlock – the KDP and PUK still have no regional cabinet more than a year and a half after the vote, and a senior Kurdish figure says only an outside power can broker between them. Barrack is that power.

• The gate that opened – S&P pulled Iraq off CreditWatch negative, and the central bank is grading its banks back into the euro, the dirham, the yuan.

• The July clock – the treaty carrying Iraq’s northern oil through Turkey lapses on July 27, days before al-Zaidi flies to Washington.

• The Washington trip – al-Zaidi heads to the US in July with a 500,000 barrel-a-day offer in his folder.

Why Washington cares this much

That is the short version, and those moves are public. The daily briefing is where they connect: why the United States is already wired into Iraq’s money, what a new financial system needs from this last piece, and what it means for the rate that still sits at 1,300 to the dollar. That is the read behind the free sign-up.

Reset Intelligence  One day after the US and Iran put their names to a deal, Washington flies its closer into Baghdad.  Special Presidential Envoy Tom Barrack walks the oil, the cabinet, and the revenue file toward a close. The real question is why Washington cares this much about one country in particular...Washington does not move this hard on a country it holds no stake in...Washington is there for the monetary result...A new financial system needs this last piece fixed, and whoever is holding the dinar when the rate flips gets paid.

Stephen The current central bank governor is butting heads with the new prime minister because the new prime minister Kaidi is wanting to increase the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and the current central bank governor was threatening to resign...It seems like they are at odds.  I personally believe we're going to see a replacement of the central bank  governor most likely in the next 30 to 60 days.  Maybe sooner.

Militia Man  The United States-Iran agreement is a significant positive tailwind for the country of Iraq.  It supports my outside the box thinking that things could move faster than most conservative timelines even suggest...We see all kinds of wonderful things taking place ...All of this taking place creates an environment t that makes a managed REER in the coming weeks, months, even more feasible and well timed...

Jeff   Banking reform...is waiting for the rate to change...Attracting investment is waiting for the rate to change...The private sector must play a larger role, again, need the rate to change for that.  Everything in Iraq right now is waiting for the rate to change.  That's why it looks like absolutely nothing in Iraq has happened in this month of June or since the new PM has come in.  The new PM cannot do anything till the rate changes.  

As Trust In Governments & Institutions Collapses, We Rebuild It In Our Families | Andy Schectman

Liberty and Finance:  6-16-2026

Andy Schectman more up close and personal than you’ve ever seen him… In a time when confidence in governments and major institutions continues to erode, many are turning their attention back to what remains stable and within their control. This conversation explores how trust is rebuilt not through systems, but through people, families, and long-term relationships.

Andy Schectman reflects on decades of experience building a family-run business grounded in integrity, consistency, and personal accountability.

The discussion highlights how small, disciplined actions and strong relationships can create resilience even amid financial and social uncertainty. Ultimately, the message centers on strengthening the foundations closest to us when larger structures feel increasingly uncertain.

Iraqi Dinar Update: Why the IQD Has Not Revalued

Iraqi Dinar Update: Why the IQD Has Not Revalued

Edu Matrix:  6-15-2026

Iraqi Dinar Update: Why the IQD Has Not Revalued - Special Report on Iraq and Iraq's Neighbors and 7 to 10 reasons why the Iraqi Dinar has not adjusted.

Investing in foreign currency can often feel like a gamble, but for some, the decision is rooted in a sense of duty or historical optimism.

A recent video from Edu Matrix on YouTube features a compelling personal narrative from a retired tax professional who, two decades ago, made a significant investment in the Iraqi dinar. Driven by a letter from then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice encouraging military members to support the reconstruction of Iraq, the investor hoped to see both personal growth and the stabilization of a nation. However, the reality of the past twenty years has proven to be much more complex than anticipated.

The narrative highlights the stark contrast between the initial vision for Iraq and the current economic reality.

 Rather than the appreciation many investors had hoped for, the dinar has experienced significant devaluation, leaving long-term holders feeling frustrated and disillusioned. The speaker dives deep into why this stagnation has persisted, pointing toward a web of geopolitical, economic, and spiritual challenges. A primary concern raised in the discussion is the influence of neighboring nations, particularly Iran, on Iraq’s domestic policy and economic decision-making.

According to the speaker, this external pressure has historically hindered Iraq’s ability to assert full economic sovereignty.

Beyond the financials, the video explores the structural hurdles Iraq faces in integrating into the global banking system.

The legacy of the 2003 invasion, coupled with ongoing struggles regarding the management of oil revenue and foreign intervention, provides a sobering look at how difficult it is for a nation to rebuild its financial foundation after years of conflict.

The speaker also touches upon the broader regional tensions currently shifting across the Middle East, suggesting that recent developments may signal a pivot point for Iraq’s future on the world stage.

Despite the personal disappointment surrounding the stagnant investment, the speaker maintains a hopeful outlook for the people of Iraq. There is a palpable desire to see the nation emerge as a stable, independent, and prosperous player in the global market—a shift that would naturally strengthen the dinar against the U.S. dollar.

The discussion concludes by bridging the gap between numbers and culture, as the speaker reflects on the ethnic and historical tensions that define the region. Through personal anecdotes from traveling and engaging with local communities, the narrative emphasizes that the road to economic stability is inextricably linked to the complex, deeply human identity of the Iraqi people.

For those interested in a deeper dive into the intersection of geopolitical history and currency investment, this video offers a candid, firsthand perspective on the realities of long-term international holding. You can watch the full discussion on the Edu Matrix YouTube channel.

Reset Intelligence: Closing in on World Peace

6-15-2026

Closing in on World Peace

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

On June 14, Donald Trump declared the war with Iran complete and ordered the United States naval blockade lifted, with the signing set for Friday, June 19, in Switzerland.

The same day, with almost no one reporting it, Iraq secured both of its oil export routes at once. That is the move that matters for anyone holding the dinar.

Two routes, one day

Trump posted that the deal is done, opened the Strait of Hormuz toll-free, and lifted the naval blockade. The same morning, Iraq’s Army Chief of Staff flew to Erbil and signed a security agreement protecting Kurdistan’s oil fields. The southern Gulf passage and the northern pipeline up through Turkey came back online together, after months reduced to a trickle through one.

The money that holds the rate

Before the war, Iraq’s oil sales brought in around 7 billion dollars a month. The blockade cut that to under a billion. The signature turns the income back on, and that income fills the budget that holds the dinar’s exchange rate. Iraq’s 2026 budget is written at the central bank’s rate of 1,300 to the dollar. The cabinet still has 9 seats to fill, and parliament returns July 1.

The wider read

• Europe – Britain, France, Germany and Italy signaled they are ready to lift their Iran sanctions, which starts pulling down the wall that kept Iraq’s banks out of the global payment system. The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed its reform reached its second phase, with compliant banks cleared to move foreign currency again.

• The dates – the G7 opens in Evian this week, the Fed closes Wednesday, the signing lands Friday, and the calendar stacks toward July 4.

• The pattern – a spring of declassified files keeps proving the people who were called conspiracy theorists right. The full briefing connects that to the rest.

This is the short version. The full daily briefing connects the moves, names the players, walks the history, and tells you what it actually means for anyone holding currency, with every source verified and full audio narration.

Guy The Vietnam dong is going to be right on the heels of the Iraqi dinar.  My intel says that Vietnam has actually contacted the Americans a year ago and said, 'we're ready go now. Why would we we have to wait for Iraq to get their act together?  We're ready.'  The US just said, 'Calm down.  Everything is going by a plan.'  I think Vietnam is going to go right after them...

Frank26  All the pieces are falling into place for [Iraq's] monetary reform.  Trust me, Z is not coming to Washington DC simply to talk about investors.  Mark my word.  With the Strait of Hormuz now open, [Iraq's] oil is going to flow and the HCL is going to explode with the new exchange rate.  People can say this is quite a coincidence.  No, this was supreme timing...

Militia Man President Trump announced the US and Iran had reached an agreement...The Strait of Hormuz will be reopened immediately to all commercial traffic toll-free...A formal ceremony is expected to be in Switzerland on Friday...I think that's really big news because Iraq and Iran are heavy trading partners. It's going to have an influence... probably a lot bigger than many ever realize...The momentum we're seeing is for real...

Reset Intelligence  Trump declares the Iran war complete. The blockade lifts. Baghdad secures Kurdistan's oil fields. Both routes reconnect. The rate waits inside the budget.

Phú Thọ establishes first three industrial clusters after provincial merger

 June 15, 2026 - 17:07

New clusters will create fresh momentum for industrial development while marking the start of infrastructure investment projects aimed at improving the province’s investment climate and promoting modern, synchronised and sustainable industrial growth.

 HÀ NỘI — The People's Committee of Phú Thọ Province on Monday announced the establishment of three industrial clusters: Đầm Đuống Industrial Cluster in Đại Đồng Commune, Yên Phương Craft Village Industrial Cluster in Tam Hồng Commune and Sơn Lôi Industrial Cluster in Bình Nguyên and Bình Tuyền communes.

Speaking at the ceremony, Trần Quang Tuấn, director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, said these were the first industrial clusters established since the formation of the new Phú Thọ Province through the merger of Hòa Bình, Vĩnh Phúc and Phú Thọ provinces.

Tuấn said the new clusters would create fresh momentum for industrial development while marking the start of infrastructure investment projects aimed at improving the province’s investment climate and promoting modern, synchronised and sustainable industrial growth.

Under the province’s Industrial Cluster Development Plan for 2026–2030, with a vision to 2050, Phú Thọ is expected to develop 133 industrial clusters. So far, the provincial authorities have approved 66 clusters, gradually building a comprehensive infrastructure network to support socio-economic development.

“The establishment of these clusters is particularly significant as Phú Thọ enters a new development phase following the merger,” Tuấn said, adding that they are expected to attract investment, support the growth of key industries, manufacturing and processing sectors, and help relocate scattered production facilities with potential environmental risks into concentrated industrial zones.

At the event, the Department of Industry and Trade also announced the investors responsible for developing the clusters’ technical infrastructure. HSC Đại Đồng High-Tech Paper Joint Stock Company will develop Đầm Đuống Industrial Cluster, 18.9 Investment and Industrial Development Co., Ltd. will develop Yên Phương Craft Village Industrial Cluster, while Trí Đức Investment Group JSC will invest in Sơn Lôi Industrial Cluster.

Tuấn noted that the participation of these investors reflects confidence in the province’s business environment and will encourage continued administrative reforms and stronger support for enterprises. — VNS

Clare:  KRG Delegation to Visit Baghdad for Talks on ASYCUDA, Non-Oil Revenues, and Oil Exports

6/14/2026

 A high-level delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) is set to visit Baghdad on Tuesday to discuss a number of financial and energy-related issues.

According to sources, negotiations are scheduled to begin on Wednesday, with discussions centered on the implementation of the ASYCUDA system, declining non-oil revenues, and security guarantees for foreign oil companies.

Composition of the Delegation

Channel8 has learned from an informed source that the delegation will include the Minister of Finance and Economy, the Minister of Natural Resources, the President of the Diwan of the Council of Ministers, the Secretary of the Council of Ministers, and a representative from the Ministry of Interior.

Key Issues on the Negotiation Agenda

According to the available information, negotiations will officially begin on Wednesday and will focus on three main files: implementation of the ASYCUDA automated customs system, non-oil revenues and the federal treasury’s share, and the resumption of Kurdistan Region oil exports alongside meeting the requirements of international oil companies.

Previous Understandings on the ASYCUDA System

During previous rounds of talks between the KRG and the federal government, both sides reached an understanding regarding the ASYCUDA system, agreeing that the Kurdistan Region’s local regulations at border crossings concerning customs duties on goods and supplies should be taken into consideration.

The latest Council of Ministers meeting strongly reaffirmed the commitment to this understanding.

Dispute Over Non-Oil Revenues and Federal Demands

On non-oil revenues, the federal government continues to insist that the KRG transfer 120 billion Iraqi Dinars (IQD) each month.

The Kurdistan Regional Government, however, is seeking to reduce the fixed amount, arguing that local revenues have dropped by 70% due to wartime conditions in the region and the administrative transition to the ASYCUDA system.

Oil Output and Security Demands from Foreign Companies

Oil production and exports in the Kurdistan Region have declined sharply to approximately 75,000 barrels per day, with around 55,000 barrels allocated for domestic use and the remainder exported.

International oil companies have suspended most of their operations and are demanding stronger security guarantees from both Erbil and Baghdad before resuming full-scale production. LINK

Sandy IngramThe Central Bank of Iraq is being accused of printing new dinars.  The CBI says this is not true.  They say they are not printing new dinars to cover government spending.  Instead they say recent operations were part of normal financial management involving Treasury instruments, not reckless money creation...Iraq is facing serious spending pressure.  Whenever people...print money, they fear inflation, currency weakness and change to the Iraqi dinar value...The CBI is trying to calm the market before the rumors become panic.  What this report shows us is the people of Iraq have a clear understanding of what printing extra or more IQD banknotes is all about...Iraq has a law against printing new money. 

Jeff  Question: "With Iraq's 2026 budget being considered a 'program budget' and the World Bank assisting, is this an international reflection?"  Yes, but indirectly.  I would not say that the '26 program budget itself means Iraq is going international in the sense of revaluing the dinar or suddenly entering global markets overnight.  However it does fit the pattern of reforms that countries implement when they are trying to become more integrated into the international financial system...The '26 budget is probably not the event itself, but it may be one of the prerequisites for becoming more integrated into the international financial investment system...This is part of that transitional transformational step as Iraq is going international...

Clare:  Al-Monitor: Tom Barrack will visit Erbil and Baghdad

6/13/2026

The US President's Special Envoy to Syria and Iraq and Washington's Ambassador to Ankara, Tom Barrack, will begin a diplomatic and security tour next Monday that includes the federal capital Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region's capital Erbil. This is his first tour since assuming his official duties, and it aims to discuss disarmament issues and redraw energy trade routes in the region.

A report published by the US website “Al-Monitor” on Friday, June 12, 2026, stated that Barak will hold extensive talks in Baghdad with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and senior political leaders, where the American side will focus on demanding the disbanding and disarmament of armed factions, especially those involved in the attacks that targeted American diplomats last April.

In his second stop scheduled for Tuesday, the US envoy will travel to Erbil for high-level meetings with President Masoud Barzani, Regional President Nechirvan Barzani, and Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani.

The report also revealed a prominent regional agenda that includes a planned meeting between Barak in Erbil with the commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Mazloum Abdi.

These accelerated diplomatic moves come amid severe economic complications, as Iraqi oil exports have fallen to a record low of 3.3 million barrels to 600,000 barrels per day due to current tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and the repercussions of US sanctions.

Through this tour, Washington seeks to redirect Iraq’s energy and trade compass towards Turkey and Syria to reduce economic dependence on Tehran, as reflected in the preliminary meeting held by Barak with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan before the start of his tour.

On the political front, observers cautiously noted the flexibility shown by the Sadrist movement and armed groups such as Asaib Ahl al-Haq regarding the handover of weapons, placing these steps within the framework of an Iranian tactic to maneuver and alleviate international pressures coinciding with the nuclear negotiations.

Barak’s tour is of great strategic importance given its timing, as Washington is accelerating its efforts to undermine Tehran’s regional influence in Iraq, ahead of the scheduled date for the complete withdrawal of US forces next September.  LINK

Tink:  The events of the region determine the economic paths of Iraq. A financial crisis, a rise in prices and a change in the value of the dinar 

Information/Report...

The events of the region directly affect the economic situation of Iraq, which is at the heart of the hurricane witnessed by the countries of the so-called Middle East, after the war invented by America against the Islamic Republic and the repercussions of this on the Strait of Hormuz, are all factors that may lead governments, especially in Iraq, to take decisions that mitigate the extent of the damage, but make the people pay the tax, by reducing the value of salaries in case of going towards devaluing the dinar, and following the policy of austerity and raising the amounts of fees in various sectors, which will harm the citizen.

“Everyone, whether in Iraq, its government and the rest of the world, is monitoring the developments of the current scene in the region, and awaits the outcome of the indirect negotiations between the American and Iranian sides,” says Imran Karkoush, a member of the State of Law Coalition.

He added that "the Iraqi economy has been affected by the developments in the region and military escalation, as Iraq is awaiting the results of negotiations between Washington and Tehran in order to restore the situation to what it was before in the Strait of Hormuz."

He pointed out that "Iraq was directly affected by the ongoing war in the region, as the government is waiting for the end of this file and closing it and work to strengthen relations within the region and build strong economic ties through the railway and commercial link between the countries of the region, Iraq and the world, as Iraq is currently in the heart of the storm and is directly affected by current events."

For his part, the economist Zia Al-Mohsen explained to /Al-Malma/, that "the government of Mustafa Al-Kazimi was the first to take the step of raising the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar under the pretext of providing financial liquidity and addressing the pressures on public revenues as a result of the repercussions of the Corona pandemic, and therefore any new economic measures must comply with the requirements of the local market and take into account the living conditions of citizens."

He added that "raising the exchange rate will lead to a decrease in the purchasing power of the citizen and weaken the real value of employees' salaries, in addition to causing a rise in the prices of goods and food, which reflects negatively on the standard of living of the Iraqi family."

Al-Mohsen pointed out that "addressing financial crises should not depend on burdening the citizen with additional burdens, but rather through the activation of productive economic sectors, foremost of which are the agricultural, industrial and manufacturing sectors, which contributes to diversifying sources of income and reducing dependence on oil revenues."

He pointed out that "the government may resort to other measures beyond raising the exchange rate, including reducing or canceling some forms of subsidies provided for fuel or food and medicine in order to increase public revenues," stressing that "such steps will be directly reflected on the citizen because they target his daily spending and living capacity."

On a related level, the political researcher Qassem Al-Tamimi said in his interview with /Al-Malama/, that "Iraq has internal debts of up to 90 billion dollars and foreign affairs of the limits of 30 billion dollars obtained by Iraq through borrowing due to the decline in cash flow inside."

He added that "there is a difficulty that the government will face in the process of controlling the dollar currency in local markets, especially since this currency is directly linked to the US Federal Bank, as Iraq depends on oil sales that reach the said bank before being sent to Baghdad."

He added that "Iraq suffers from many problems caused by the current situation in the region after the significant decline in oil sales, and this clearly affected securing liquidity, and therefore the Zaidi government faces a great challenge with regard to the financial and economic situation."

Militia Man They're not going to go out into the international markets without having an international accepted traded currency, not on an international scale.  The dinar is not there at 1310...Iraq's full integration is becoming a reality.  

Jeff The central bank of Iraq is never going to let the rate out.  They can't.  They can't even tell you the rate is going to increase ...They can tell you they have no intentions of devaluing the dinar, which they have and they could tell you if they are going to devalue the dinar. Those are the only two things they could tell you.

Mnt Goat   Article: “PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE: THE 2026 BUDGET WILL BE BASED ON A “HEDGING” OIL PRICE OF AROUND $60"  ...the budget is NOT based on the rate of the dinar... There will not be an RV rate to the dinar in the budget tables! ...the budget is based on the price of oil. This will continue until the dinar is repegged to a basket of currencies and back on FOREX. Until this timeframe they will continue to use the petro-dollar which is the price of oil...We are NOT going to get our RV because of the budget coming out...

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Report and Financial Updates for June 12th, 2026

6-12-2026

The weekly RV report for Friday, June 12th, 2026, offered a comprehensive look at the intersection of global finance, geopolitics, and spiritual discernment.

As the world navigates an increasingly complex landscape, the report underscored the necessity of approaching information with a balanced perspective.

Central to the discussion was the evolving political situation in Iraq, where Prime Minister Al-Zaidi’s efforts to establish a stable cabinet and address internal regional influences are seen as pivotal. These developments are not occurring in a vacuum; they are closely tied to broader peace negotiations involving the U.S., Iran, and Israel, which could have a stabilizing effect on the global stage.

Economic policy remains a primary focus for investors, particularly with the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting led by Kevin Warsh.

The report highlighted an anticipated shift toward a more accommodative monetary policy, including the potential for lowering interest rates and a return to quantitative easing. Such a pivot is historically significant for the commodities market, often serving as a catalyst for gold, silver, and digital assets. Despite the volatility seen earlier in the year, the current climate is being viewed by some as a strategic window to capitalize on market dips in anticipation of long-term shifts.

The report also shed light on the diversification strategies of prominent figures and nations.

Discussion centered on high-profile investors like Warren Buffett and President Trump exploring foreign currencies, including the Japanese yen, the Vietnamese dong, and the Iraqi dinar.

This trend aligns with a broader movement in international finance, exemplified by Japan’s reported transition away from traditional US Treasury notes toward gold-backed assets. These shifts suggest a fundamental re-evaluation of global reserve assets and the mechanisms that underpin international trade.

Beyond the numbers and charts, the report delved into the socioeconomic and spiritual undercurrents of the current era.

It touched upon ongoing legal and social advocacy, such as the support for Tina Peters regarding election integrity. Furthermore, it framed the current global turmoil within a spiritual context, drawing on the teachings of figures like Kim Clement.

The host emphasized a message of resilience and ultimate victory, suggesting that while the world faces significant challenges, there is a larger purpose and a path toward restoration that transcends modern conflict.

To conclude, the report utilized a powerful historical artifact—an original Zimbabwe $100 trillion note—to serve as a sobering reminder of the transient nature of fiat currency.

This symbol of past economic crisis underscores the importance of financial education and the pursuit of tangible value in an unpredictable world.

 For those looking to dive deeper into these geopolitical and financial forecasts, the full video by Jon Dowling provides a detailed roadmap of the developments expected to shape the remainder of 2026.

Fri. 12 June 2026 Yesterday Trump said it on camera: “I want to go to Fort Knox. I want to see if the gold’s in it. They steal a lot. …Tier4b ISO20022

The President just told you somebody STOLE your gold. 147.3 million oz. $692B. Last audit: 1974. Fifty-two years. No camera. No evidence.

Same week: France pulled ALL 129 tonnes from NY Fed. India – 104 tonnes. Germany – emergency repatriation. China buys record amounts of gold every month.

GOLD HOME for every country at the same time. You don’t evacuate a vault unless the vault is changing management.

May 15. Powell replaced by Kevin Warsh. Trump sits down with Xi in Beijing on the same day. The Fed, the machine that kept you in debt since 1913,(allegedly)  changes hands.

The gold is not merely in motion. It is being REVALUED. $42/oz on the books. 4,700/oz on the market. When they mark to market – the Treasury goes up in smoke. The explosion finances what happens next.

LIVE GESARA debt protocols. All these mortgages are (allegedly)  illegal. Every student loan since 1971. All credit cards. Calculating NOW.

The average American owes between $100,000 and $450,000.

Tier 4B — 12 states in place. 800 numbers loaded WAITING FOR ONE THING. FORT KNOX ON LIVE TELEVISION.

Militia Man  A more modern integrated Iraq is taking shape right in front of us.  The time feels deliberate and coordinated supporting the idea that we are closer to major monetary steps including a managed REER with a credible sovereign dinar more so than many realize.

Silver Market "Short-Term Pain" Before SYSTEM MELTDOWN | Bill Holter

Liberty and Finance: 6-12-2026

Bill Holter describes a scenario where financial stress and liquidity strains could contribute to a system down condition in which banks, brokers, insurance companies, and markets temporarily stop functioning.

In that environment he argues that derivatives, credit structures, and payment systems would freeze, forcing reliance on barter and physical assets.

He characterizes the current weakness in metals as short term pain driven by liquidity needs and paper market pressure rather than any change in long term fundamentals. Silver holders are told that volatility and price suppression reflect temporary capital flows and managed paper selling during periods of stress in broader markets.

Holter maintains that despite near term turbulence, the long term trajectory favors higher real value for metals as currency debasement continues and physical scarcity becomes more important.

Zero Downtime

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

Iraq’s central bank is licensing a kind of bank the country has never had: no branches, no physical vaults, no paper archives. The launch standard written into the reform programme is zero downtime – transactions running 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Nobody writes that spec for a currency worth a tenth of a US cent.

Four Moves In One Day

June 10 was not one story out of Baghdad. It was 4, and they all moved inside the same day.

• Digital bank licences – 79 applications sit with Governor al-Alaq. This is the third stage of the Oliver Wyman reform plan, and the first that replaces banks rather than upgrades them: banks that cannot survive an audit exit the market, and banks born clean take their place.

• ASCUDA customs expansion – the Finance Ministry set the next stage for early July, bringing the Kurdistan Region’s border crossings onto the same electronic rail as federal Iraq. Every dinar of customs revenue in the country lands in one ledger both capitals read.

• 500,000 barrels per day – Prime Minister al-Zaidi is preparing his first foreign trip since taking office, carrying an offer to lift Iraq’s oil exports to the United States to 500,000 barrels per day, at Trump’s personal invitation.

• The exchange houses – the CBI ordered every Category A and B exchange company and every currency brokerage to begin filing enhanced reporting data, the same day the dollar moved on the Baghdad street exchanges.

The Spec Is the Tell

Governor al-Alaq has said in public that the digital dinar project is under implementation and that paper notes are to be replaced. The infrastructure he said it was waiting on is the one being licensed right now. A banking system forbidden from going dark for even a single hour is not being built to clear the dinar at its current value. It is being built for the value and the volume it is expected to carry.

The Precedent Nobody Is Quoting

There is an American precedent for this exact sequence – a government that shut down and culled its broken banking system, and then, with the system clean, repriced the money itself. Which year it happened, what the repricing looked like, and what that order of operations says about the dinar’s number is in today’s full briefing.
