Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Friday Afternoon 5-24-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

" Chairman of the Securities Commission in Iraq, Faisal Al-Haims, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the authority is studying the possibility of licensing brokerage companies to trade in shares on international stock exchanges."

Forex is sold "in shares" through exchange-traded products (ETPs) and exchange-traded notes (ETNs).

Licensing brokerage companies to trade on the global exchange, also known as a foreign exchange (forex) market, is a necessary process that allows companies to operate in the market.

As long as global financial standards and International digital norms/regulations are followed, a forex license can be issued by regulatory authorities.

This procedure guarantees a company's compliance with International regulatory standards. Without a license, a broker's work is considered illegal. 

These procedures will allow the Iraqi Dinar to be bought and sold on Forex when they are done. At the present time, banks are in process of learning how to do foreign currency exchanges through an electronic process.  

Now, it makes sense why my friend told me they were doing foreign currency exchange training with every currency except the dinar, but this is about to change with the reclassification of the Iraqi dinar by the end of this month.   Economy   Gofaizen & Sherle   FinJuris

SEC approves rule change to allow creation of ether ETFs | CNBC

The SEC has approved a rule change that paves the way for ETFs that buy and hold ether. The commission approved bitcoin ETFs less than six months ago - those funds have proven a big success for the industry.

Many of the companies that sponsor bitcoin ETFs have already started the process of launching an ether fund. The approval of ether ETFs is a sign that the SEC's stance toward crypto may be softening. The approval for ether ETFs does not extend to other crypto projects on the Ethereum network.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are both considered a commodity. More on this tomorrow with Ethereum.

CandyKisses:  Parliamentary Finance pledges to quickly pass budget tables

Information / Baghdad.

The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed voting on the 2024 budget tables before the end of the current legislative term.

Committee member Khalil Dosky told Al-Maalouma that "the parliamentary finance committee aims to study the items of the budget tables to include many aspects, including determining government spending."

He added that "his committee began to discuss the paragraphs of the budget tables to prepare a detailed report and enter proposals and discussions in order to complete and mature all opinions," pointing out that "budget tables will be presented to political forces."

He pointed out that "there is a great desire among members of the House of Representatives in order to approve the tables as soon as possible," stressing that "voting on the 2024 budget tables before the end of the current legislative term." 

CandyKisses:  The Iranian General Staff publishes the initial report on the causes of the president's helicopter crash

Information / Baghdad  Today 08;33

On Thursday evening, the Iranian General Staff published the preliminary report issued by the Supreme Investigation Committee to examine the causes of the crash of the helicopter of the martyr Iranian President, Mr. Ebrahim Raisi and his companions.

The authority said in the results of the report that the president's helicopter continued its pre-planned course and did not depart from it, adding that the helicopter pilot made contact with the two helicopters within the president's convoy.

The results of the report confirmed that no trace of bullet or similar injuries was observed on the wreckage of the helicopter carrying the Iranian president.

The results also showed that the president's helicopter burned after colliding with the slopes, adding that "search operations continued until five o'clock in the morning due to the ruggedness of the area, dense fog, and cold weather."

The Iranian staff pointed out that "the operation ended after finding the site of the helicopter crash through Iranian drones, and then the rescue teams headed towards the site," noting that "no suspicious point was detected in the helicopter crew's communications and dialogues with the control tower."

The staff said a large part of the documents and effects associated with the incident had been collected, but that more time needed to be studied deeper.

A few days ago, Iranian television announced the martyrdom of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and their companions in the crash of the helicopter they were carrying in East Azerbaijani airspace.

Searches for the wreckage of the helicopter were hampered by fog and heavy rain, while the temperature touched minus 15 degrees.25

Tishwash:  Parliamentary Finance is confused by the large difference between the 2023 and 2024 budgets... and warns against stopping provincial projects

Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mustafa Al-Karawi, revealed today, Thursday (May 23, 2024), that service and urban projects, some of which are ministerial, have been halted due to the reduction in governorate allocations in the financial budget tables for the year 2024.

The Council of Ministers voted in an extraordinary session last Sunday on the budget schedules and referred them to the House of Representatives, which received them the day before yesterday, Tuesday.

Al-Karaawi said in a televised statement, followed by “Baghdad Today,” “We noticed in the budget tables that there was a reduction in allocations to the governorates, some of which reached 80% compared to what was allocated to them in last year’s budget, and this may cause projects to stop and not lead to covering their expenses and contractors’ dues, and this may be what may happen.” "It causes a problem and a gap in the issue of financing."

He stressed, "Projects, including ministerial ones, have been halted due to lack of funding," pointing out that "there is a turbulent indicator between the 2024 budget and last year in terms of project financing, and we will host the Ministers of Finance and Planning next week."

Al-Karaawi pointed out, “Preparing a list of clarifications and sending them to the Ministry of Finance about the reasons for the increase in expenditures, the mechanism for collecting oil and non-oil revenues, and the inflation of the financial deficit in the budget.”

He added, "The government has committed itself to collecting 27 trillion dinars in non-oil revenues during the year 2024, and we requested clarification from the Ministry of Finance about the mechanism for achieving this goal," noting that "there is an increase in the operating budget that reached 156 trillion dinars."

The parliamentary finance member expected that “the maximum time limit for approving the budget schedules will be before the end of the current legislative term on next June 9, so there will be an intensive program for the Finance Committee to discuss these schedules and find solutions to the problems in them.”

It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani revealed in a press conference following the cabinet session last Sunday the details of the budget schedules and said in the most prominent contents:

- Table (A) includes revenues totaling (144.336) trillion dinars, and Table (B) concerns total planned expenditures totaling (210.936) trillion dinars.

- The planned budget deficit amounted to (63.599) trillion dinars, and Table (C) is the centrally funded workforce table, amounting to (4,079,906) employees, and governing expenditures amounted to (10.042) trillion dinars.

- The investment budget for 2024 is (54.298) trillion dinars, and may reach 55 trillion dinars.

- Governorate allocations to local government programs with an investment allocation amounted to (10.633) trillion dinars in 2023, and we financed (3.333) trillion, based on fundamental requests from the governorates.

- The remainder of the allocation (7.333) trillion dinars is in a trust account, at the disposal of the provincial governments.

- Allocating approximately (8) trillion dinars to ongoing projects, including allocations in 2024.

- For the first time in the history of budgets, we exceeded spending by 50%.

The increase in debt repayment amounted to 3.9 trillion dinars. In 2023, the debt repayment was 12,751, and in 2024, we repaid 16.725 trillion.  link

Compiled Fri. 24 May 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington

Global Financial Crisis:

US Debt Clock: FED Q&A Disclosure: The Federal Reserve wants you to believe that their Federal Reserve notes have intrinsic value. This illusion dates back to 1694, when the Bank of England was established as the first central bank to issue notes and legal tender. This created a framework similar to the one the Federal Reserve uses today. Since the Federal Reserve controls the money supply and their currency is not backed by any tangible asset, they can continuously print money. This leads to the devaluation of the currency and causes inflation. This inflation ultimately affects everyone who uses or accepts the currency. However, even in dark times, there is hope. A New World Dawns is approaching, bringing light and change to the world.

Timing:

Banks were closed Memorial Day Weekend, (just long enough to make the Quantum Switch).

A Contact at a Redemption Center said Tier4b (Us, the Internet Group) would get emails to set appointments over the weekend.

Bruce felt it was likely that we won’t get the 800 numbers to make appointments until Tues. 28 May, and could begin exchanging on Wed. 29 May.

Wed. 22 May 2024 Wolverine Chat: “This will not be a long chat. There was a meeting last night in Reno. The topic was when to release the notifications. The notifications are coming out. The main bondholders are hopefully expecting notifications today. So hold on everyone!!  We are on the very edge of this! Expecting notifications to come in today for the major bondholders. Tier4B, in my opinion, will hopefully come in on the weekend.  Things are happening in the Pentecostal group. The leader will be having a get together in Bogota the first week of June, so then they will be ready to go. It was a very good audio that they put out yesterday. Hopefully they will be able to release it has been long time for that platform as the owner has been through so much. Not much other Intel coming through right now. Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully we will have good news very soon. Take care,” Wolverine

Tues. 21 May 2024 Banker: “I’m being told emails should come on the 24th which is this coming Friday, which would give the banks time to deal with their Fridays and Mondays and begin to schedule appointments later into next week. We can only hope that at some point these projections will be accurate.” On Wed. 22 May 2024Banker: : “A second confirmation of the above post has been received today so please stay alert come Friday. GOD Bless y’all for staying with us thru all this.”

Wed. 22 May 2024 MarkZ: “I am confident that some Bond Holders such as those in Humanitarian Projects are being paid and bonds began moving on Wed. 22 May.”

Tues. 21 May 2024 Unknown Source: “Banks in the USA will close on the 24th and until May 27th (Monday) they will be offline, without credit cards and without access to 24-hour banking. It will be the beginning of AES – EMERGENCY ALERT SYSTEM and on Tues. 28 May 2024, some banks and companies will no longer open.

Clare:  Sudanese calls on the private industrial sector to invest in raw materials available in Iraq

5/23/2024

Tuesday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani called on the Iraqi private industrial sector to invest in the raw materials available in the country.

This came during the launch, in Najaf Governorate, today, of the executive works on the Iraqi Diyar Glass Factory project.

The project is the first to be implemented in accordance with the sovereign guarantees approved in the budget, and in cooperation between the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) and the German Export Bank. It also represents the most important forms of cooperation between Iraq and Germany, the foundations of which were laid during His Excellency’s visit to the German capital, Berlin.

Al-Sudani stated that this factory is being implemented in an industrial city by an investor who is responsible for providing all services. 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

The Big Bopper:  Hi KTFA Family, Does this represent the first project to start from the 2024 budget schedules? IMO, it sure reads like that….. on Wednesday’s CC, Frank asked if we could produce an article that showed the new sovereign guarenteed contracts at work from the 2024 budget schedules, if im not mistaken, this looks like the first!!

 Am I wrong on this, my opinion mistaken? Please anyone that has an opinion or can clarify this articles meaning, other than the very clear and obvious words in it, we should see something soom? Thanks Clare for this!   Thank You kindly, The Big Bopper

 Clare:  IT'S A GREAT ARTICLE...VERY TELLING. SUDANI IS GETTING IT DONE! HE IS A GREAT LEADER FOR IRAQ IMO

The project is the first to be implemented in accordance with the sovereign guarantees approved in the budget,

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS!

Clare:  Al-Sudani: We will not let the projects stop in any governorate, and their completion will change the economic and social reality

5/23/2024

Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani stressed today, Thursday, that we will not let the projects stop in any governorate, indicating that their completion will change the economic and social reality of the governorate.

The media office of the Prime Minister stated, in a statement received by {Al-Furat News}, that “Al-Sudani chaired, in the Najaf Governorate building, a meeting of directors and officials of service departments and formations, during which the reality of services in the governorate was reviewed, and the most prominent problems and obstacles facing the progress of implementation of service projects.” ".

He stressed that "the government kept in mind the citizen's entitlements when preparing the government program, and made the necessary basic services among the most important priorities, especially the lagging and stalled infrastructure projects related to the health, education, and other sectors, due to the conditions of war, terrorism, and instability."

He explained that "there is pressure on services and infrastructure in all sectors in the governorate, for various reasons, the most important of which is the delegations of visitors to Najaf Al-Ashraf."

The Prime Minister said during the meeting: “We look at services starting from the perspective of lagging projects, some of which date back to 2008, such as the treatment plant project,” pointing out that “the continuation of lagging projects causes collapses and changes in prices that burden the state.”

He added, "The federal government and local governments form one team," noting that "the voter for local governments is awaiting the results of his participation in the elections."

He continued: “Our visit aims to develop solutions to the problems, and we do not want to repeat the same excuses after a month or two,” adding: “We are following up on the smallest details and developing solutions, and we have allocated financial allocations, but we are governed by a budget and allocations, and the ability to spend these allocations.”

He added: "We will not let the projects stop in any governorate, and the completion of the projects will change the economic and social reality of the governorate," adding: "Visitors to the Old City come from all over the world, and the level of services in the governorate is measured in light of what is available in this area of ​​the city."

He pointed out that "investing in Najaf Governorate is necessary to develop the industrial city and complete it in various aspects," calling on businessmen to "invest sovereign guarantees to establish agricultural and industrial projects."

He stated that "the indicators of the agricultural season confirm the growth in production, and 5 trillion dinars have been allocated to pay the dues of farmers and farmers, and Iraq is on the path to achieving self-sufficiency in basic crops."  LINK

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.

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Thursday Evening 5-23-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

What Is a Private Wealth Manager?

A bank's ledger balance is a record of all transactions that have been processed and approved at the end of a business day, including deposits, withdrawals, interest income, and bill payments.

That being said, is it really a stretch to anyone's imagination that we are moving into a digital processing center on a Global scale, and the banking system is just simply one section interfaced onto a Quantum Technological Systematic set of protocols designed to run numbers on equations until a balance between two parties are cleared?

Yes, we are finding that many positions in the banking system and around the world can be automated. Still, the need for a personal touch remains. This would account for why Personal Wealth Manager positions are on the rise and Banks are currently making these changes to meet the needs of a new society.

The synchronization of human behavior and technological advances are currently being held at a balance. Where we go from here will be determined by the choices both AI and Human Nature co-create in this new world. 

There will always be pros and cons to each choice we make going forward, but the integration of the Techno-Human Race is forging a new path. It is an experimentation beyond everything we have encountered so far in history.

Movement forward is both scary and filled with opportunity. Yet, inside each of us is an explorer of space and time. We are walking into new frontiers and decisions will have to be made by each of us how far we are willing to go.

The transition into digital money and sudden wealth is a much larger step than many realize. We will cross over into a dimension of life few have seen in this lifetime.

We are at a crossroads, and movement into a new digital world that moves our money and the choices we make is rapidly approaching.

True freedom will not be the result of sudden wealth. Freedom comes from a much deeper place. The more that is given to us, the more is required for us to reach into those places hands can no longer touch. Here, we ask for wisdom and guidance from a place of creativity. Our creative nature knows how to walk beside the presence of our Creator forming a relationship that always has, is, and will be with us to the end.

The time to evolve is right in front of us now, and the choice to become creative entrepreneurs exploring New Frontiers is calling on us to resonate with new vibrations capable of moving our attention into higher ground.  |  CFA Institute

"XRP Price Nears Major Converging Point: Analyst Predicts 3,600% Jump To $20" |  Trading View

When you take a look at some of the technical analysis on the price of XRP, it currently has a Relative Strength Index potential of moving into a bull run.

"An RSI is a technical tool used to measure the speed and change of price movements in a cryptocurrency. It is also used to determine the short-term momentum of a cryptocurrency’s market."

Twenty dollars would be just a beginning point of reference to obtain on its way to integrating its full demand over time at much higher levels.

Remember, Ripple is the liquidity coin that allows the movement of our money to take place in the digital economy. Ripple uses its cryptocurrency, XRP, as a liquidity bridge for cross-border payments. Financial institutions can convert fiat currency into XRP, send it across the XRP Ledger blockchain, and then convert it back to the destination currency.

It is necessary for Ripple to have a much higher price range than it is currently displaying to bring in a catalyst for its movement.

Ripple is moving from a speculative investment to one that is based on demand. This shift in its purpose and its role in the new economy will raise it to much higher levels to meet these new demands inside the new digital asset-based economy.

From a trading perspective, the movement of Ripple in its price and demand will pull us into the next economy.

Watch Ripple.

10 ASEAN Countries To Ditch the U.S. Dollar

Vinod Dsouza   May 20, 2024

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries are looking to promote local currencies for trade and ditch the U.S. dollar for cross-border transactions. ASEAN consists of 10 countries and their economies are fast developing in the global sphere. This puts the USD under pressure, as several developing countries including the ASEAN bloc are looking to end reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Source: orfonline.org  

ASEAN: 10 Countries Look To Stop Using the U.S. Dollar, Settle Trade Payments in Local Currencies Instead

The 10 ASEAN countries that are looking to stop using the U.S. dollar for trade are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. According to the latest figures from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), commonly called the World Bank, the combined GDP of ASEAN nations currently stands at around $4 trillion.

If the ASEAN alliance completely starts using local currencies for trade, the U.S. dollar will be in jeopardy. In particular, Indonesia is the most aggressive among the lot in pushing the de-dollarization agenda ahead. Indonesian President Joko Widodo is urging the bloc to quickly move away from the U.S. dollar and start using local currencies.

The move will strengthen their native economies giving local currencies a boost in the global foreign exchange markets. Several developing countries fear the rising U.S. debt of $34.4 trillion can affect their native economies and businesses. Therefore, the only solution to American debt is to make ASEAN countries use local currencies and sideline the U.S. dollar.

The U.S. pressing sanctions on other developing countries is also among the reasons why ASEAN wants to ditch the dollar. A stronger local currency will have no adverse effects from U.S. sanctions making their economies safer. In conclusion, the next decade will be different for the U.S. dollar as many nations are looking to uproot it.

BRICS: America’s 4th Largest Bank Warns of Economic Crash

Joshua Ramos  May 22, 2024

Amid the ongoing geopolitical shift brought about by the BRICS economic alliance, America’s 4th largest bank has warned of an impending economic crash. Specifically, Citigroup’s chief US economist, Andrew Hollenhorst, has spoken with CNBC regarding his concerns for the United States and its economic fragility.

Hollenhorst discussed his concerns, specifically regarding the labor market. He noted that the deterioration of the hiring sector could have dire implications for the country. Ultimately, he spoke on why a hard landing may be all but an inevitability for the nation.

Citigroup Warns of Potential Economic Crash

Over the last year, the BRICS economic alliance has observed significant growth. Not only has the bloc embraced its first expansion initiatives since 2001, but it has also embraced alliance-wide economic policies. These infrastructure developments hinder international reliance on the US dollar while promoting local currency use.

Now, the geopolitical shift that the BRICS bloc has orchestrated may be playing a part in America’s 4th largest bank warning of an impending economic crash. Specifically, Citigroup’s Andrew Hollenhorst noted that a hard landing is likely in the cards.

“Firms are hiring at a lower rate. Firms are having workers work less hours,” Hollenshorrts told CNBC. “So this gradual softening has already started. That tends to snowball and end up in something that looks more like a hard landing.”

Moreover, Hollenhorst noted that some reports have expressed a more concerning view of the economic circumstances. Additionally, he noted that a recession could be set to follow any hard landing that takes place. Specifically, he notes that small businesses have displayed the lowest levels of hiring intentions since 2016.

Furthermore, the hiring rate is at its lowest level since 2014, Hollenhorst stated. Therefore, the labor market’s reality coincides with the overall interest rate issue, inflation persists, and optimism does not appear to be a logical response.

All of this will also contend with the ongoing US dollar questions that have arisen in recent months. The BRICS alliance has driven a global shift toward gold and other assets. Therefore, ongoing debt concerns and de-dollarization initiatives will only increase pressure on the US in its most dire state.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday 5-23-2024

TNT:

Note: All intel should be considered as "Rumors" until we receive official announcements ...and “Rates and Dates” could change anytime until we get to the banks/redemption centers.

HappyWelshGuy:  RV Update - The Truth

Tony, is quite correct the RV will happen soon.......But not yet

This is what is really happening...

There is a carefully, orchestrated plan in effect, that is being meticulously monitored

Tier # 1 and Tier # 2 is currently being financially hydrated

When this is completed to the satisfaction of the Alliance then and only then will Tier # 3 be financially hydrated

When this is completed to the satisfaction of the Alliance then and only then will Tier # 4 (US) the internet group be financially hydrated

Everything is currently "On Track" and moving to expectation

If everything continues to expectation, then Tier # 4 should be financially on or about JUNE 15th with a back wall of July 4th

It is "NOT" going to happen today, tomorrow or this month

However, Tony is right

It will be our time soon

Nothing will stop this except for a 911 type event

Remain positive and in anticipation

My source actually sits on a special committee formatted for the very specific purpose of the timing of the revaluation to take place

June 15th, is not that far away so remain patient and be in expectation

~~~~~~~~~~

Fuze:  Don't get me wrong, it is possible this could extend to early June but the point is, it's suspicious for the reasons stated in this widely distributed all of a sudden mysterious source. There is legitimate Intel from literally the horses mouth that June was a best Target month of Dr. Shabibi (bless his sole) why?

Because he said " the "project to delete the zeros with the rate change should be done at the beginning or middle of Iraqs fiscal year" FOR ACCOUNTING purposes!

June is the middle of their fiscal year at present. In addition, one time in the past when the project was postponed in 2012 it was earmarked to go June 2013 according to a declassified MOF document and US Congressional Report.

These are well documented facts in video format and documents from non Maliki, non social media credible sources!!! So early to mid June would not be a surprise,

**************

Tishwash:  Economist: We are experiencing a good financial year and the rise in salary expenses must be reconsidered

The economic expert, Safwan Qusay, considered Iraq’s fiscal year “good,” while stressing the need to reconsider the rise in salary expenses.

Qusay said, during his hosting of the program {Free Speech} broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel this evening, that: “

The process of implementing the program of the government of Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani requires {operational and investment} spending, and there are priorities voted on by Parliament, and it is held accountable for achieving these goals, so the process of allocating financial allocations To achieve these goals, it requires scientific foundations and program costs. So far, the issue is items, not programs, costs, accounting, and the establishment of a unified treasury in order not to wait for schedules, and in order for it not to be repeated in 2025.

The government is required to set estimates by establishing a unified treasury and spending and collection units on a daily basis
Parliament is one case, as they both seek to achieve their goals.

- We are facing a good year, considering that oil prices are above $70, and zero oil and other imports will contribute to reducing expenses and increasing revenues.

- The government is seeking to establish investment projects parallel to oil revenues, and the increase in salary spending needs to be restored Consider

-The timetable determines the mechanism for disbursing expenditures as it tries to move from items to programs -
Government achievements for the year 2024 can raise cash revenues

- Federal ministries must be coherent and complementary to one another, as increasing non-oil revenues enhances the value of the dinar. Iraqi, and the need to reconsider the nature of contracts with foreign companies.

-International prices change, so if the financial foundations are understood by the government, it can certainly change them.

The Ministry of Finance is required to assume that the project that it cannot finance is a source of income that is subject to investment.  link

Militia Man  There's a lot of money going to to be made in Iraq and it's all starting to come together.   When the World Bank is sitting at the table and they're working to finance projects, take a look at it.  It doesn't smell of, 'oh,  this is never going to happen, blah, blah, blah, we heard this two years ago.' No you didn't.  I have to tease because I still get  that on occasion.        
Frank26  Question "What does your gut say the rate will be in the end?"  Remember I said IMO the float would probably be between $3.36 and $4.25 would be a good place to cap it.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

"Ripple CLO Claims The SEC Has a NODE on the XRP Ledger"

A NODE offers ways to approve and process transactions without a centralized authority. 

A node validates and authenticates blockchain transactions. A Blockchain node's primary job is to confirm the legality of network transactions.

Once a confirmation is made between two digital networks through a blockchain consensus, a transaction is validated on both sides of an exchange.

A protocol brings all nodes of a distributed blockchain network into agreement on a single data set or similar data confirming the right to move forward inside a blockchain connection. Then, a digital transaction can go through for both parties.

This is done electronically and without the need of someone mediating the transaction on the QFS.

It looks like XRP and the SEC have decided to play ball together. Times Tabloid  Trade Marks   Ledger

Okay. It is official. Ripple and the SEC are doing more than playing ball together. They are in business together.

"Ripple has filed a new trademark for the phrase “RLUSD,” suggesting the likely listing symbol for its proposed dollar-based stablecoin."   Trade Mark 

A trademark does three things:
* It identifies the source of your product
* It provides legal protection for your brand name and product
* It protects you against counterfeiting and fraud

This officially ties the SEC and Ripple together in a partnership. This new filing has given them intellectual property rights to copy and expand in a business together.

This love/hate relationship has certainly turned a corner. As the pages are turned on their past relationship in courts, it will certainly be interesting to read the next chapters of what they can do together.     The Crypto Basic    Maynardnexsen

Iraq clears all debts to IMF | Iraqi News

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The financial advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mazhar Salih, confirmed recently that Iraq has repaid all the loans it has taken from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) since 2003, a total of just under $8 billion.

Salih explained that the IMF provided several loans to Iraq, aiming to support macroeconomic stability and financial reforms, the Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported.

Between 2003 and 2021, Iraq obtained several financing programs from the IMF, including emergency loans and long-term financial assistance.

In 2016, the IMF approved a financial program worth $5.34 billion to support economic reforms in Iraq. Within five years, Iraq paid out the loan in full after obtaining two-thirds of the total.

Iraq sought a $6 billion emergency loan from the IMF in 2021; however, the loan was not granted because, at the time, it hadn’t been linked to any of the IMF’s initiatives.

Iraq’s engagement with the IMF was intended to assist in addressing the economic issues brought on by the drop in oil prices, which were connected to fluctuations in the balance of payments, as well as to promote government reforms.

The Fed Is Already Insolvent. Here’s How We Think This Plays Out

The Fed Is Already Insolvent. Here’s How We Think This Plays Out

Notes From The Field By James Hickman ( Simon Black ) 5-22-24

On Tuesday, September 15, 1992, the two most powerful financial officials in the British government held an urgent meeting that night to review their plan for when the markets opened the next morning.

The tone of the meeting must have felt frantic… even desperate… because the value of the British pound had been falling for weeks.

Investors and speculators were rapidly losing confidence in the UK government, mostly due to the ridiculous “Exchange Rate Mechanism” (ERM) which essentially pegged most European currencies to the German Deutschemark.

Rational investors viewed the ERM as an almost comical impossibility.

Germany’s economy was light years ahead of everyone else. Germany had vastly higher productivity, far greater savings, low inflation, high growth, and much more responsible monetary policy.

So, to even pretend that a country like Italy or even Britain could fix its exchange rate to the Deutschemark, i.e. to essentially mirror Germany’s economic performance-- was a total joke.

Britain joined the Exchange Rate Mechanism in October 1990. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher had spent years trying to keep Britain out of the ERM, viewing it as giving up national sovereignty.

But Thatcher was about to retire. And the new batch of leaders insisted that pegging Britain’s economy to Germany was the way forward.

Their experiment didn’t even last two years. By the summer of 1992, inflation in Britain was more than 3x Germany’s. Plus, Britain had a major budget deficit.

Financial speculators correctly recognized, given the massive disconnect between the British and German economies, that Britain would not be able to maintain its fixed exchange rate with the Deutschemark.

So, traders began short selling the British pound, i.e. betting that the value of the pound would fall because the British government would devalue its currency.

The sell-off reached a crisis on September 15th, when the head of Germany’s central bank suggested to the Wall Street Journal that weaker countries (like Britain) would have to devalue their currencies.

That’s what led the British Chancellor of the Exchequer and head of the Bank of England-- the two most powerful policymakers in British government finance-- to meet that evening.

They knew that the German central bank’s comments would encourage even more traders to dump the British pound. So, the two men pledged to do ‘whatever it takes’ to defend the pound and defeat the speculators.

It didn’t work.

The following morning on September 16th, the Bank of England did everything it could. They raised interest rates, they bought back pounds, they bought government bonds, they made all sorts of outlandish promises.

But speculators didn’t believe any of it. They could see the numbers, and they knew that the Bank of England simply didn’t have the financial resources to maintain such an unrealistic exchange rate.

One of those speculators was George Soros, who famously bet $10 billion against the British pound… far exceeding the Bank of England’s financial resources

By the end of that day, the British central bank had exhausted its capital and was essentially bankrupt. The British government had to bail them out to the tune of 3 billion pounds, and then announce that they were formally leaving the ERM-- proving the speculators right.

This is an important story to understand, because it’s likely that something similar may happen to the Federal Reserve and US dollar over the next several years.

The Federal Reserve is already insolvent.

According to its most recent annual financial statements, the Fed has just $51 billion in equity, versus a whopping $948 billion in mark-to-market losses. This means the Fed is insolvent by roughly $900 billion.

This is a big problem. Remember that the Fed is still a bank, i.e. it has financial obligations, liabilities, and depositors that it needs to pay.

For example, commercial banks like JP Morgan and Bank of America have deposited a total of $3.4 trillion of their customers’ money, i.e. YOUR money, with the Fed. And the Treasury Department holds another $700 billion deposit at the Fed.

The Fed owes money to foreign governments. They owe trillions of dollars from repurchase agreements to banks and businesses across the global financial system.

So, yeah, the insolvency of the Federal Reserve is a pretty big deal. Yet, at least for now, no one is saying a word about it.

But just like the Bank of England in 1992, sooner or later, someone is finally going to say something… and do something… about the Fed’s insolvency.

There’s a good chance that means betting against the dollar… just like speculators bet against the pound three decades ago. And that would ultimately reduce the value of the dollar, increase inflation, and trigger a new ‘Bretton Woods’ agreement in which the US dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency.

George Soros became known as “The Man Who Broke the Bank of England”. (Though given his malign proclivity to fund progressive activists, he is known by several other names in my household, none of them reverent).

Within the next several years there could be some Chinese or Russian financier who becomes known as “The Man Who Broke the Fed”.

This isn’t sensational. The Fed is already insolvent by $900+ billion, according to its own financial statements. Social Security is insolvent. The US government is insolvent by tens of trillions… and they further anticipate the national debt to grow by $20 trillion over the next decade.

These are facts, not fantasies.

And this is why it makes so much sense to hedge these risks by owning real assets which are scarce, valuable, and uncorrelated to the US dollar.

Gold is a great example. And as we’ve argued before, even though it’s already near its all-time high, we believe it can go much higher from here.

More on that soon.

Does GCR stand for Global Currency Reset or Golden Currency Reset?

Actually, it could stand for both.

The concept of international monetary units has evolved significantly over time, reflecting changes in the global financial landscape.

From the introduction of the Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in 1969 to the advent of gold-backed digital stablecoins today, these units have undergone substantial transformation.

 The Birth of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs)

In 1969, the IMF introduced SDRs as a novel international monetary unit. The goal was to supplement gold and currency reserves of member countries.

The SDR was conceived as a potential global currency, aiming to stabilize the global economy and provide liquidity.

This international unit of value was designed for exchange between central banks and to act as a buffer against economic crises.

Challenges Faced by SDRs

Despite its promising start, the SDR faced several challenges.

The primary issue was that SDRs were not anchored by any tangible asset like gold, making them fiat in nature. This lack of real backing made it difficult for SDRs to establish a stable value against other fiat currencies.

Consequently, the SDR failed to gain widespread acceptance as a currency and became more of a tool for international debt management rather than a functional global currency.

The Rise of Gold-Backed Stablecoins

With advancements in financial technology (FinTech), the landscape of international monetary units began to shift.

Digital innovations have paved the way for the creation of gold-backed stablecoins, offering a more reliable and practical solution.

Unlike SDRs, these stablecoins are backed by physical gold, providing a tangible asset that helps maintain their value and stability in the international market.

The Future of International Monetary Units

The journey from SDRs to gold-backed stablecoins highlights the evolution of international monetary units in response to technological advancements and economic needs.

While SDRs represented a bold experiment, their shortcomings underscored the importance of backing currencies with tangible assets.

The emergence of digital, gold-backed stablecoins marks a significant advancement, offering a promising future for international trade and financial stability.

The Bottom Line

The evolution of international monetary units from SDRs to gold-backed stablecoins illustrates the continuous search for a stable and reliable global currency.

As technology advances, the possibility of a global currency reset becomes more attainable, with gold-backed stablecoins leading the charge towards a more stable and secure financial future.

The quest for a global currency reset finds its starting point in the SDR architecture, marking a significant milestone in the journey towards financial stability.
