Henig: Hanoi enters New Year with fresh optimism
11:46 | 01/01/2023
Facing a range of difficulties and challenges last year, Hanoi has realised and even exceeded all 22 of its socio-economic targets, Secretary of the municipal Party Committee Dinh Tien Dung told the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) in a recent interview.
According to the official, the capital city grew 8.8 percent, higher than the nation’s average level of about eight percent. It saw better-than-expected outcomes in its Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), GRDP per capita, growth rate of export turnover, and reduction of poor households.
Dung said 2023 is key to Hanoi’s socio-economic development plan for the 2020-2025 period and takes the work theme of discipline, responsibility, action, innovation, and development.

This year, Hanoi will strive for an increase of 7 percent and above in GRDP, with its rates of social investment and export growth expected to hit 10.5-11 percent and 7.5-8 percent, respectively.
Concerning tasks to be completed to realise such goals, the official stressed improving the business climate and economic restructuring; developing the quality, effectiveness, and competitiveness of local craft villages; and encouraging the application of technological advances, among others.
The city will also work to complete its planning for 2021-2030 with a vision to 2050 for submission to the Prime Minister.
Dung said in the future, the capital will develop two affiliated cities – one to the north of the Red River (Me Linh-Soc Son-Dong Anh) andother to the west of Hanoi (Hoa Lac-Xuan Mai), serving as a premise for further growth.
Hanoi prioritises fostering cultural and social development to be on par with economic growth, while continuing its plan for investment in education, health, and culture, he affirmed.

Henig: Vietnam targets textile-garment export growth
06:00 | 03/01/2023
(VEN) - Free trade agreements (FTAs), especially new-generation ones, are expected to help Vietnam reach a textile and garment export value of US$45-47 billion in 2023.
Major 2022 achievements
Vietnamese textile and garment exports reached US$42 billion this year, lower than the US$44-billion target, but the chair of Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS) Vu Duc Giang believes this was a major achievement given the world market’s significant slowdown in the final quarter of the year.
In the first half of 2022, domestic textile and garment enterprises operated at maximum capacity to fulfill export orders, earning export revenue of US$22.3 billion, up 17.7 percent from the same period in 2021. Textile and garment exports began slowing down in both value and quantity in August, and in September, some enterprises lacked production orders. Vietnam's textile and garment export revenue reached only US$3.18 billion in October, down 3.3 percent compared to the same time in 2021, including US$307 million worth of yarn exports (down 34 percent), and US$2.87 billion worth of textile and garment exports, a slight growth of 1.7 percent.
Giang attributed the decreases in export value and orders to the high inflation and falling purchasing power of major markets, noting that Vietnam was not the only country affected by the difficult situation. The textile and garment export values of China and Pakistan, for example, decreased 13.6 and 16.8 percent, respectively. Thanks to the high achievements in the first half of 2022, Vietnam’s textile and garment export revenue in the first 11 months of the year grew 18.5 percent compared to the same period in 2021, he said. The industry exported 47-50 different products to 66 countries and territories, making good use of FTA commitments, including tax incentives, he added.
Green production
Despite difficulties expected at least until the end of the first quarter of 2023, Vietnam set a textile and garment export revenue target of US$47 billion in 2023. FTAs with attractive incentives continue to be a driving force for the industry’s export growth and attraction of foreign investment in raw material and accessory development to make up for the shortage of domestic supply. Digitalization has helped sector enterprises reduce costs and improve management, production and trading efficiency.
Domestic businesses, including the industry’s leader, Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex), and the TNG Investment and Trading JSC, have been applying green production. “We have orders lasting 4-5 months, including those for recycled yarn spinning, knitting, dyeing and sewing,” said Vinatex Chair Le Tien Truong. TNG reached a production output of an estimated 1,500 tonnes of product, 70 percent of which was recycled fiber.
Economists say controlling the quality of supply chains has become the biggest challenge for textile and garment exporters. The industry is urging the government to issue policies promoting investment in green production, especially the development of human resources specifically for green production through postgraduate and short-term training, and international cooperation in training.
Tran Thanh Hai, Deputy Director of the Ministry of Industry and Trade’s Agency of Foreign Trade: Domestic enterprises need to adopt a roadmap for green production development and quickly adapt themselves to its contents.

Pimpy There are some games being played with the Iraqi dinar and it looks like Al-Sudani is looking for ways to put a stop to this. I really think it's a cat and mouse game between America and China and Iraq's right in the middle of it.
yada [I wish I could find evidence that the dinar is no longer pegged to the US dollar but I can't. Can anyone help?] The evidence is in front of you. The fluctuation of the dinar and dollar the past 15 days was it. It had never move this much prior to this because it wasnt, it was moving up and down. And going forward, the Float in itself is proof.

Russia’s All In With Gold & Yuan - Putin's Breaking Away From The West
Sean Foo: 1-2-2023
Russia has just doubled the share of gold and Yuan in their wealth fund. This is a groundbreaking move that signals their commitment to de-dollarization and moving away from the Western financial system.
This is only the beginning and sets up a blueprint that many other countries could follow. In 2023, the future of gold is looking real bright while the dollar's fate is getting rather grim.

Russia's Economic Strategy To DITCH The Dollar SHOCKS The Entire Global Economy
Tech Revolution: 1-2-2023
Russia, and other large economies worldwide are looking for alternatives to the US dollar due to its recent strength and weaponization.
De-dollarization is being tried by several smaller countries, including at least a dozen in Asia. Companies worldwide are also selling a substantial amount of corporate debt in local currencies.
There are no predictions that the dollar will be replaced as the world's preeminent currency any time soon. And several predictions of the "peak dollar" turned out to be well off base. But not too long ago, it was almost completely inconceivable for countries to look into ways to pay that didn't involve the US dollar or the SWIFT network, which is the backbone of the global financial system.

Santa Browser: https://www.santabrowser.com/ Central banks around the world are about to speed up the process of devaluing their currencies. This will drive the prices up for the commodity market and make the transition into a metal based economy. This is why we are witnessing many tokens at this time beginning to tokenize gold and silver. What is happening in the digital currency will soon happen in the paper money through a currency intervention. Consumer spending is reaching all time lows. Remember, this is 70% of the market. The way out is to raise purchasing power. When the markets go to real values, we will see a flip in the global economy. And, the path into gold will have just begun.

Frank26 Question: "Would $3.44 be where the float starts or would that be where it's capped?" That would be the capping. That would be the Real Effective Exchange Rate...you don't want it to go to far past the other middle eastern countries...Question: "So the maximum rate will be $3.44 when we should 'fold'm'? Don't put me in that position. I can't tell you when to hold'm and when to fold'm...
Walkingstick [via Frank26] The Iraqi dinar has not gone up in value for many decades because it was not being respected with its exchange rate. It could very well jump into the Middle East basket at 1460 but that is not the CBI's goal. The goal is to de-dollarize and that is the uncertainty/unknown of these positions of the monetary reform right now. Where are they in the budget? Where are they in the exchange rate? Where are they with the new small category notes? Will the Iraqi dinar go into the basket at a program rate or at least at a 1 to 1 rate with the American dollar?

The establishment of that shipping line plays a great role in the development of transit via Chabahar Port.

KaseyKo1: I'm hopeful we'll see something this week. Yada, I just hope this new round of demonstrations will not upset the apple cart, so to speak, and slow things down.
Yada: I doubt it. The mechanism is in place in and outside of Iraq. The dinar is not pegged to the dollar and for the past 15 days or so, it has been adjusting to home in on pairing with the other currencies in the basket. The people will have to use dinar to make their exchanges on their apps and the rest of the world will be using dinar for their contracts.
Yada: No more having to convert to dollar to buy/sell, straight dinar/dong, dinar/yuan, dinar/pound, dinar with any other contract they've established.
VictorD: I wish I could find evidence that the dinar is no longer pegged to the US dollar but I can't. Can anyone help?
Yada: The evidence is in front of you. The fluctuation of the dinar and dollar the past 15 days was it. It had never move this much prior to this because it wasnt, it was moving up and down. And going forward, the Float in itself is proof. imo
VictorD: That is street rate which has nothing to do with CBI rate. The street rate has fluxgated for the past 15 years. Daily....CBI rate is what effects people outside of Iraq.
Yada: There was an article about a week ago, basically stating, "the rise in the exchange rate is a temporary situation that came after internal and external effects of applying international standards." Application of the international standards is the set up for the float to be released internationally. We were told the beginning of December to expect a good Christmas, meaning rate change but this process didn't get started until the 24th. We are seeing this come to us like a freight train with the float first.

He added, "The best way is the dialogue, to reach a formula of understanding between the two parties, and go to Baghdad unified to resolve contentious points, especially the region's share of the budget," noting that "everyone agrees on the oil and gas law, and it will be legislated during the coming period."

What is Nesara???? Many sites are talking about it……here is some information
NESARA ...Forgives all credit card, mortgage, student loan and other bank debt due to illegal banking and government activities..
Information about NESARA:
A law was passed in the United States in March 2000 and signed into law in October of 2000. This law is called N.E.S.A.R.A. – National Economic Security and Reformation Act. All politicians and media members are under a gag order to not speak of it publicly until it is officially announced. This new law will first be enacted in the United States and eventually will be rolled out across the world. The law provides:
· Forgives all credit card, mortgage, student loan and other bank debt due to illegal banking and government activities
· Dissolves the IRS and ends all income tax
· Creates flat rate non-essential “new items only” sales tax (food, medicine and all used items will not be taxed)
· Increases benefits to senior citizens
· Returns Constitutional Law to all our courts and legal matters – re-trains all judges and attorneys in Constitutional Law
· Provides for new representational elections within Constitutional Law.
· Monitors elections and prevents illegal activities of billionaires and special interest groups
· Ends the Federal Reserve System and begins a new US Treasury bank system that follows Constitutional Law
· Creates new US Treasury currency backed by gold, silver and precious metals,ending US Government bankruptcy. This will initiate global economic reform.
· Restores financial privacy
· Ceases all aggressive US Government military action worldwide
· Leads to peace throughout the world
· Enables release of over 6,000 patents of suppressed technologies and enormous sums of money for humanitarian purposes
The provisions of the National Economic Security and Reformation Act have been composed by visionaries who wish to correct past wrongs against the people in the United States. It is supported and inspired by statesmen around the world, as well as off-world, as a vision for global peace, freedom and prosperity.

Almost 300 years later, Benjamin Franklin is the face of the U.S. $100 bill, and it is protected by a myriad of security features including secret images, special ink, hidden watermarks, and magnetic signatures, among others. In this visual, we’ve broken down the $100 bill to showcase the anatomy of American currency.
Visualized: The Security Features of American Money
December 2, 2022 By Avery Koop Graphics/Design: Mark Belan
In 1739, Benjamin Franklin sought to tackle the issue of counterfeit money in America, using a printing press and leaves to create unique raised patterns on the colonial notes.
Almost 300 years later, Benjamin Franklin is the face of the U.S. $100 bill, and it is protected by a myriad of security features including secret images, special ink, hidden watermarks, and magnetic signatures, among others. In this visual, we’ve broken down the $100 bill to showcase the anatomy of American currency.
The Makeup of American Money
There are 6 key features that identify real bills and protect the falsification of American money.
① Serial Numbers & EURion Constellation
The most basic form of security on an $100 bill is the serial number. Every bill has a unique number to record data on its production and keep track of how many individual bills are in circulation.
The EURion constellation is star-like grouping of yellow rings near the serial number. It is only detectable by imaging software.
② Color Changing Ink
This ink changes color at different angles thanks to small metallic flakes within the ink itself. The $100 bill, like all other paper bills in the U.S., has its value denoted in color changing ink on the bottom right-hand corner; unlike other bills, it also features a liberty bell image using the ink.
③ Microprinting
Microprinting allows for verifiable images that cannot be scanned by photocopiers or seen by the naked eye. The $100 bill has phrases like “USA 100” written invisibly in multiple places.
④ Intaglio Printing
Rather than regular ink pressed onto the paper, intaglio printing uses magnetic ink and every different bill value has a unique magnetic signature.
⑤ Security Threads & 3D Ribbons
The security thread is a clear, embedded, vertical thread running through the bill. It can only be seen under UV light, contains microprinted text specifying the bill’s value, and on each different bill value it glows a unique color.
Additionally, 3D ribbons are placed in the center of $100 bills with a pattern that slightly changes as it moves.
⑥ Paper, Fibers, & Watermarks
Because American money is made of cotton and linen, blue and red cloth fibers are woven into the material as another identifying feature. Finally, watermarks are found on most bills and can only be detected by light passing through the bill.
The Relevance of Cash
Here’s a look at the total number of each paper bill that is physically in circulation in the U.S.:
Physical Bill Billions of notes (2021)
$1 14.0
$2 1.4
$5 3.4
$10 2.3
$20 11.9
$50 2.5
$100 17.7
$500-$10,000 0.0004
Total 53.2
Interestingly, a number of $500-$10,000 dollar bills are in someone’s pockets. And while they are not issued anymore, the Fed still recognizes the originals of these bills that were legally put into circulation in the past.
$10,000 U.S. note (1934 series) A $10,000 Federal Reserve Note (1934)
Additionally, there is fake money passing hands in the U.S. economy. Being the most widely-accepted currency in the world, it’s no wonder many try to falsely replicate American money. According to the U.S. Department of Treasury, there are approximately $70 million in counterfeit bills currently circulating in the country.
Finally, a natural question arises: how many people still use cash anyways?
Well, a study from Pew Research Center found that it while it is a dwindling share of the population, around 58% of people still use cash for some to all of their weekly purchases, down from 70% in 2018 and 75% in 2015.

Henig: Ihsan Al-Shammari to / NINA /: The crisis of the rise in dollar prices was caused by the US economic "cold" war
Baghdad / NINA / - The Head of the Center for Political Thinking, Ihsan Al-Shammari, confirmed: "The crisis of the dollar's rise in prices was caused by the American economic "cold" war, and it was exploited by internal parties to blackmail the government.
Al-Shammari said in a statement to the National Iraqi News Agency (NINA): "The current cold war between the United States of America and Iran has an economic aspect, given that the first exerts maximum pressure on the second, and therefore obliged Iraq not to make financial transfers to Iran, other than electricity energy transfers, in which there was a previous exception during the previous governments.
He added: "There seem to be financial transfers with attempts by political parties to control some important financial positions for the purpose of circumventing US sanctions, and therefore everything that is happening is the result of the US-Iranian conflict, and it is not a matter of banks and their closure."

Henig: Governor of the CBI: High exchange rate is a temporary situation
Baghdad / NINA / The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mustafa Ghaleb Makhaif, confirmed that the exchange rate hike is a temporary situation.
A CBI's statement said, "The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mustafa Ghaleb Makhaif, conducted a field visit to a number of banks that started selling foreign currency."
The statement added, "The governor urged, during his meeting with bank departments, to facilitate the procedures for selling foreign currency to citizens wishing to obtain it for the purposes of travel, treatment, and others," noting that "the Central Bank of Iraq has taken a number of decisions that contribute to achieving stability in the foreign currency market."
He stressed that "bank outlets for selling foreign currency will be doubled to meet the needs of travelers, with the possibility of increasing the amount of the weekly share allocated to banks."
Mukhaif described that "the rise in the exchange rate is a temporary situation that came after internal and external effects of applying international standards, as the bank succeeded in addressing it and minimizing its effects on the Iraqi economy, stressing not to raise public concerns about the rise in dollar exchange rates, and the need to take deterrent measures against speculators." stressing that "the situation of Iraq is much better than other countries, and there is no room for comparison with it.

Frank26 Don't give them [Your dinars] to anybody. There are many demons of Satan out there... Ring-a-ding-ding - Hello? 'You got dinars? I tell you what, we belong to a humanitarian project. It's with the United Nations. Oh, yeah it's good people. What we're going to do is give $5 for every dinar. Yeah! Not what the CBI is going to give. So send me your dinars and we'll hold them here in our vault and when it happens we'll take good care of you. Yeah, we're going to send you documents. Yeah, we'll sign a piece of paper saying we have your dinars. You're going to get a lot more than everybody else.' [Post 1 of 2....stay tuned]
Frank26 Human greed, gluttony...kicks in because the horns of Satan cause you to think that way. Don't give your dinars to anybody else that is promising you more than what is legal. Any bank can only give you the rate the CBI is a part of. "Oh, but I belong to the humanitarian project and they are going to give me more". How is that possible? You can't get blood out of a turnip...Don't let these people do this to you. They want your dinars... [Post 2 of 2]

None of us know for certain but the chatter is exceptionally good.” …“Medical Debt was being erased in Ohio and Illinois. Is your town next? Rumors are its going to spread to Pennsylvania. They are buying your debt at a discount. Where is the money coming from? Perhaps this is a slow roll out of NESARA.” Fri. 30 Dec.

Frank26 Question: "Anything on the Dong?" I don't believe the dong is ready. I believe it will go in a basket first. But I believe the Iraqi dinar has priority.
Mnt Goat Article: "WHAT IS MEANT BY CURRENCY FLOAT? WHAT ARE ITS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES?" This article is a VERY GOOD lesson in what it means to FLOAT a currency. ...they can’t float the dinar in the program rate with the currency auctions and must reinstate it to the global markets. Mainly it’s because hint hint…to float you need access to the markets and traders. This will be when we go the bank to exchange...floating the IQD on FOREX can solve much of the issues with the dinar monetary policy in Iraq. This once again proves the move to FOREX should have happened a decade ago when Dr Shabibi, then the CBI director, lined up the dinar to go to FOREX in January 2013...I ask, why now publish such an article?

Dr. Kia Pruitt: 12-21-2022
As 2022 comes to a close, we review geo-political and economic movements that will take us into a very different 2023.
Will there be a gold standard?
Will an Iraqi Dinar Revaluation make people rich? What should we expect in 2023?
How we experience the new year will be contingent upon how well we have prepared.

Dr. Kia Pruitt sits down with the "Gold Guru," Andy Schectman, CEO of Miles Franklin for a candid conversation about:
1. The possibility of a Gold Standard in 2023
2. Countries moving away from the US Dollar and fleeing US Hegemony
3. Central Banks Hoarding Gold
4. Currency Revaluations (i.e., the Russian Rubel and the Iraqi Dinar) and
5. The Implications of We-the-People acquiring gold (and/or silver) as a store of WEALTH.

The U.S. Dollar Surrendered Its Status as the World’s Premier Safe Haven In Q4
The U.S. Dollar Surrendered Its Status as the World’s Premier Safe Haven In Q4. Here’s How.
Dec. 30, 2022 By Joseph Adinolfi Market Watch
The U.S. dollar’s status as one of the few dependable safe havens for investors during this year’s market mayhem started to erode during the fourth quarter, even as the greenback posted its biggest yearly advance since 2015.
For much of the year, the dollar’s strength was blamed for helping to weigh on stocks, as a more expensive currency ate into export revenues and corporate profits while higher Treasury yields made bonds increasingly attractive relative to stocks.
The U.S. Dollar Surrendered Its Status as the World’s Premier Safe Haven In Q4. Here’s How.
Dec. 30, 2022 By Joseph Adinolfi Market Watch
The U.S. dollar’s status as one of the few dependable safe havens for investors during this year’s market mayhem started to erode during the fourth quarter, even as the greenback posted its biggest yearly advance since 2015.
For much of the year, the dollar’s strength was blamed for helping to weigh on stocks, as a more expensive currency ate into export revenues and corporate profits while higher Treasury yields made bonds increasingly attractive relative to stocks.
But something changed for the dollar around the beginning of the fourth quarter. Central banks in Europe and — more recently — Japan applied a more aggressive monetary policy, signaling that they intend to close the gap with higher U.S. yields created by the Federal Reserve. This helped to drive their currencies higher.
At the same time, investors in the U.S. were betting that the Fed’s campaign of interest rate rises was drawing nearer to its end.
This resulted in the euro EURUSD, +0.37% rising roughly 8.8% against the dollar, its biggest quarterly gain since 2010, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
Meanwhile, the ICE U.S. Dollar Index DXY, -0.33%, a gauge of the dollar’s strength against a basket of six major currencies, is on track to fall 7.7%, its biggest quarterly drop since the second half of 2010, Dow Jones Market Data show. The yen USDJPY, -1.44% and British pound GBPUSD, +0.36% also strengthened, along with many emerging markets currencies, and in the span of a single quarter, the dollar’s year-to-date advance was cut almost in half.
Despite this, the dollar index still rose 7.9% this year, its biggest calendar-year gain since 2015, when it rose 9.3% amid the eurozone debt crisis that stoked fears that the Greeks might abandon the euro.
Just before the start of the fourth quarter, the dollar index reached 114.11, its highest settlement level of the year, on Sept. 27, according to FactSet data. At that point, the popular gauge of the dollar’s value was up roughly 19% for the year.

US Debt Dump & Spiking Interest Rates - (Crisis Silver Stacking)
Smart Silver Stackers: 12-30-2022
Foreign holders of US treasuries dumped more than half a trillion dollars worth of US debt in the first 10 months of 2022.
What will 2023 have in store? If this debt dump accelerates, interest rates will spike and a full blown US debt crisis may ensue.
Enter the Federal Reserve. To suppress rates and rescue markets, the Fed will monetize however much debt they have to.
The borrowing will continue, but at huge expense to the purchasing power of the US Dollar.
