Walkingstick  Billboards with lower note pictures and explanations about them, if that was true, if that had any possibility, then the moment that would happen would cause...there cannot be a gap between when they show it and when they release it [the rate] IMO.  Once they show [them], the time frame for them to release it [the rate] would have to be extremely short.  There should be no gap between the two events.  It should be simultaneously.  

Mnt Goat  ...if you take the monetary mass of Iraq then do the math of the about 150 tons of acquired gold in their reserves, you can easily see that when they shrink the monetary mass, these reserves could cover the entire monetary mass of dinars in circulation. WOW!  Yes, it could potentially cover 100% not just a percentage of the dinars in circulation, if all goes according to plan...Isn’t this then the financial “stability” that the CBI keeps telling us it needs to conduct the project to delete the zeros?

FINTECH STARTUP RAISES $1.5M TO DEMOCRATIZE MARITIME FINANCE

Maritime fintech startup Shipfinex secured $1.5 million in seed funding to democratize maritime finance through blockchain-enabled fractional ownership of maritime assets.

Democratizing Maritime Finance
Shipfinex, a maritime fintech startup, recently announced it has secured $1.5 million in seed funding. Gaurav Mehta, chairman of shipping asset trader Best Oasis Limited and Dubai-based company SPM Shipping DMCC, led the funding round. Vivek Seth, senior vice president at ADNOC Logistics & Services, and Yasovardhan Chinni, founder of Nanlian Ship Management LLC, also participated.

Shipfinex aims to democratize maritime finance by enabling fractional ownership of maritime assets through blockchain technology. The startup believes this investment will kickstart a partnership that uses blockchain to reshape access to maritime assets.

According to a press statement, Mehta, a veteran in ship cash-buying and energy asset markets, will bring his extensive industry insights to Shipfinex.

Shipfinex plans to use the funds to support its growth and develop a secure and compliant marketplace for maritime asset tokens. The company also aims to accelerate its regulatory advancement with Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA).

Commenting on his financial backing of Shipfinex, Mehta said:

Shipfinex represents the next era in maritime finance, expanding asset ownership and enhancing transparency and efficiency. We’re excited to support this transformative journey and redefine how the world invests in maritime assets.

Vikas Pandey, CEO and co-founder of Shipfinex, lauded Best Oasis Limited CEO’s support and industry insights as “invaluable.” Pandey believes this will be key in Shipfinex’s endeavor to “redefine access and expand investment opportunities within maritime finance.”

HOSKINSON EXPLAINS WHY CARDANO IS PREFERRED; ADA TO HIT AN ATH SOON?

Amidst the broader market optimism, Cardano’s price has been showing impressive surges lately as evidenced by its recent rally. Additionally, a flurry of developments around its founder Charles Hoskinson has also sparked market optimism.

Why Will It Reach An ATH?
In a latest X post, Hoskinson has praised the Cardano community. He explained why people prefer Cardano as he underscored that “We have the best community and the best entrepreneurs.

It’s a harder road, but it will change the world.” further, he also predicted the Voltaire update to make the ecosystem the “finest government ever assembled by humanity.”

Additionally, Charles Hoskinson visiting Elon Musk’s SpaceX office has also sparked speculations, given Musk’s rising influence in the US political landscape.

Besides, Hoskinson has recently said that he would support the Trump Government in shaping crypto legislation. He seeks to help the US administration in framing clear regulatory frameworks for digital assets, which have encountered regulatory pressure over the past few years.

Ripple CEO’s Comments Adds To The Optimism
The recent comments from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse have also incited market optimism. He stated:

“The crypto industry has embraced Trump, Trump has embraced the crypto industry. I think it’s very genuine, and I think he sees the opportunity, he sees innovation, he sees entrepreneurship and I’m very excited about what the future holds.”

Garlinghouse highlighted that U.S.-linked crypto assets, such as XRP, SOL, and ADA, have outperformed other tokens due to the expected easing of regulatory pressure. He noted that the anticipation over pro-crypto policies under Trump administration has fueled the rally.

Besides, a prominent crypto market analyst Ali Martinez recently said that Cardano price is poised to hit $6 in 2025, further fueling the expectations of a potential ADA rally to its new ATH.

First Ever zkApp Launched On Cardano’s Midnight Sidechain
In the latest development, the first-ever zero-knowledge application (zkApp) has been launched on Cardano’s Midnight sidechain, that has excited both the community and the founder Charles Hoskinson as well. This innovation is a result of Midnight partnering with Paima Studios.

Sebastien Guillemot, the co-founder of Paima Studios, announced the launch of the zkApp on X. At its core, this partnership is set to simplify the development of multi-stack decentralized applications (dApps) and empower developers to leverage the strengths of different blockchain ecosystems seamlessly.

Revalue Gold or Adopt Bitcoin Standard? US to Take ‘Drastic’ Action to Keep Dollar Strong: Mark Moss

Revalue Gold or Adopt Bitcoin Standard? US to Take ‘Drastic’ Action to Keep Dollar Strong: Mark Moss

Kitco News:  11-16-2024

The U.S. national debt recently surged past $36 trillion, and Mark Moss explains why inflation is the only viable path forward for the government.

 In a recent interview with Jeremy Szafron at Kitco News, Moss highlighted the rapid shift towards Bitcoin, predicting prices as high as $1 million by 2030.

 He also discussed sovereign nations accumulating Bitcoin, a phenomenon he referred to as “Sovereign FOMO,” which he believes will fuel a massive price rally. According to Moss, with Trump branding himself as the “Bitcoin President,” the U.S. is poised to adopt a strategic Bitcoin reserve, triggering a game theory scenario that could see other nations follow suit.

Moss also spoke about the challenges facing gold versus Bitcoin, emphasizing how Bitcoin is quickly emerging as the ultimate hedge against inflation amid record demand. He believes that gold could still play a role, possibly being revalued as a part of the U.S.'s response to currency pressures.

 Moss outlined why Bitcoin, unlike traditional assets, has a fixed supply and is being strategically accumulated by institutional and sovereign players—adding immense pressure on the limited availability of Bitcoin.

Global Financial Crisis:

Fri. 15 Nov. 2024: BOOOOM!!! The BRICS Currency Note: A Game-Changer in the Global Financial Arena! …Carolyn Bessette Kennedy on Telegram

The day has come. The BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—are no longer satisfied with living in the shadow of the U.S. Dollar. They’ve dropped the bombshell that could obliterate the American financial system as we know it—a BRICS Currency Note! Although it’s not in circulation yet, its mere existence sends a clear message: the BRICS countries are flipping the script on the global financial stage.

The BRICS Currency Note—A Revolution in Motion!: The world woke up to a shockwave when the BRICS Currency Note was revealed. This bold move could be the beginning of a financial revolution. For decades, the U.S. Dollar has held the world in its grip, dictating the terms of global trade, finance, and politics. But now, with the emergence of a BRICS currency, the tides may be turning for good.

The BRICS note symbolizes a defiant stand against the U.S.-dominated financial system. Signaling that these nations are ready to break free from the suffocating control of the American financial empire.

What Does This Mean for the World? This is more than just currency. It’s a direct challenge to the U.S. dominance. By proposing this currency, the BRICS nations are creating a new financial ecosystem. No longer will they be at the mercy of a single country and its weaponized financial system.

The Rise of the BRICS Currency: A Defiant Response to U.S. Control: For too long, the U.S. Dollar has been used as a financial weapon, enforcing sanctions and manipulating countries that oppose American interests. The BRICS nations have had enough. They’re not just talking about change—they’re making it happen. This currency will weaken America’s ability to control the global economy.

The BRICS Currency Note—whether it’s in your hands now or not—signals that the world is ready to move on. The U.S. financial grip is crumbling, and this is just the beginning of a new era where nations will no longer be dictated to by U.S. interests.

A Move for Financial Independence: This BRICS currency is a symbol of economic sovereignty. The 100 BRICS Note that has emerged is a powerful statement—these nations are no longer bowing to the demands of the U.S.-controlled system. They are taking charge of their economic destiny and shattering the chains that have bound them to the American financial order.

Implications for the Global Financial Order: The End of U.S. Dominance? The introduction of this currency could send shockwaves through the global financial system. It’s not just about economics—it’s about seismic political shifts that could spell the end of U.S. Dollar dominance. The U.S. has used its financial power to project control over the world for decades. But with the BRICS currency in play, that era is over.

A Defiant Response to U.S. Sanctions: Sanctions have been a go-to weapon for the U.S., but the BRICS nations are done playing along. With their own currency in hand, they can circumvent American financial institutions and reclaim their power.

The unveiling of the BRICS Currency Note is more than just an economic maneuver—it’s a direct challenge to the global order. The U.S. stranglehold on the world economy is crumbling as these nations rise up and take control.

Conclusion: The Beginning of the End? The BRICS Currency Note could be the start of the end for the U.S. Dollar’s reign. As this revolution unfolds, we are witnessing a monumental shift in power—one where the U.S. no longer holds the ultimate financial weapon.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS WILL DRIVE RWA TOKENIZATION’S TRILLION-DOLLAR GROWTH

The real-world asset tokenization industry is projected by some to exceed $30 trillion by 2030, driven by nimble and mainstream financial institutions.

Financial institutions will be the main drivers of the growing tokenization industry leading up to 2030, which could potentially see more than 50-fold growth.

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization refers to financial and other tangible assets minted on the immutable blockchain ledger, increasing investor accessibility and trading opportunities around these assets.

Large financial institutions will be the main drivers of the tokenization sector’s significant growth, according to Jesse Knutson, the head of operations at Bitfinex Securities.

Institutions are already driving significant growth in the crypto industry, which could spill over into the tokenization sector, Knutson told Cointelegraph during an exclusive at Plan B Lugano:

“It's the more nimble institutions, the fast movers, like the family offices, those kind of guys. I think they'll have an outsized impact in these early days. But eventually, the benefits of tokenization, they're going to pull in the mainstream institutional investors.

Some of the world’s largest financial institutions and business consulting firms say the RWA sector may see a more than 50-fold increase by 2030, potentially reaching over $30 trillion.

Tokenized securities: a $ trillion opportunity
Most firms predict that the RWA sector will reach a market size of between $4 trillion and $30 trillion by 2030.

If the sector were to achieve the median prediction of about $10 trillion, it would represent more than 54 times growth from its current value of around $185 billion, including the stablecoin market, according to a Tren Finance research report.

Still, stablecoins continue to dominate the RWA sector, accounting for over $170 billion of the market as of October 2024. In comparison, securities and treasuries tokenized onchain are valued at $2.2 billion.

RWA sector will follow the crypto industry’s growth trajectory: Bitfinex
Bitcoin saw significant growth this year, rising over 116% year-to-date, after receiving a significant institutional nod in the form of the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States.

The RWA tokenization industry will likely follow the growth trajectory of the crypto space, said Bitfinex Securities’ Knutson:

“The consensus view is that markets are going to evolve, and the direction they're probably going to evolve is, is something similar to how the digital asset industry has grown over the years.”

Increasingly, more institutions are betting on the RWA sector’s success, including the world’s largest asset management firm, BlackRock. Other financial institutions are running tokenization pilots, including UBS Asset Management.

HBAR GOES TO SPACE! SPACEX AND HEDERA TO PIONEER SATELLITE PAYMENT NETWORKS

▪️Hedera Hashgraph could be powering SpaceX to space after multiple key figures confirmed a groundbreaking partnership with Elon Musk’s company.

▪️Hedera’s ability to process trillions of transactions per second and track space traffic was part of the several reasons for its consideration.

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) could soon go into space as a renowned crypto investor and expert discloses a groundbreaking partnership with SpaceX. According to Shawn, Hedera would be primarily responsible for facilitating crypto transactions in space. 

Meanwhile, this could mark a huge breakthrough for satellite-to-satellite payment networks while subjecting transactions across Earth and space to a significant transformation.

Why Hedera?
According to experts, Hedera provides cutting-edge solutions to all the challenges of the previous blockchain technologies. Explaining this in a blog post authored by Shawn in 2023, it was disclosed that Hedera can facilitate trillions of transactions per second.

 Comparatively, Ethereum can only manage 12-15 transactions per second. Meanwhile, Hedera executes these levels of operation while consuming 970.000.000 less energy than Ethereum.

Explaining the application of Hashgraph in space, Shawn highlighted five key use cases in his post.

Secure Satellite Communication and Payment Networks
According to Shawn, SpaceX’s Starlink has issues with making uncensored, fast, and secure internet connectivity worldwide.

This has been a challenge since its internet access depends on the server infrastructure on Earth. In this case, a targeted attack on the data centers or global nuclear fallout could render this infrastructure useless. Fascinatingly, the use of Hashgraph technology alongside Starlink, according to Shawn, could put these disruptions under control.

Tokenization of Resources from Asteroid Mining
Shawn also argued that asteroids could be tokenized on Hashgraph with the extraction of the resources financed by people globally.

Space Supply Chain Management
Hashgraph is also reported to possess the ability to enable companies to monitor the carbon emissions of their supply chain. In addition to that, they can keep progress in every step of their production of a rocket from start to finish.

Tracking & Management of Space Traffic
According to the report, Hashgraph possesses unique qualities for managing space traffic. Seven of these features listed by Shawn are:

▪️Real-Time Monitoring and Coordination
▪️Decentralization
▪️Consensus and security
▪️Efficiency and scalability
▪️Interoperability
▪️Smart contract for automated responses
▪️Data integrity and transparency.

Smart Contracts for Autonomous Spacecraft and Space Vehicles
The combination of artificial intelligence and Hedera is reported to enable spacecraft and space vehicles to autonomously make decisions. Fascinatingly, this is said to be done by executing different predefined scenarios without necessarily minimizing human errors.

Smart contracts can be programmed with logic that allows spacecraft to make decisions based on real-time data. For example, if a satellite detects an obstacle or another satellite on a collision course, the smart contract can automatically execute maneuvers to avoid a collision without the need for ground intervention.

According to our investigation, the movement of Hedera to space has also been confirmed by the CEO of WISeKey Carlos Creus Moreira.

In his announcement on X, Moreira disclosed that this groundbreaking mission would redefine innovation.

World-first: testing the exchange of SEALCOIN directly from space as a proof of concept. This is a major leap forward in secure satellite communication and blockchain integration with Hedera Hashgraph, paving the way for the future of space-based digital cryptocurrency transactions.

Meanwhile, CNF has also reported that Cardano could be embarking on a partnership journey with SpaceX with the co-founder Charles Hoskinson recently dropping a teaser on X.

At press time, HBAR was trading at $0.085 after surging by 21% in the last 24 hours.

Gold Replacing Treasuries as Global Safe Haven: Andy Schectman

Gold Replacing Treasuries as Global Safe Haven: Andy Schectman

WTFinance:  11-15-2024

In a recent episode of the WTFinance podcast, listeners were treated to an enlightening discussion with Andy Schectman, the President of Miles Franklin Precious Metals Investments.

Known for his insightful perspectives on the economy and precious metals markets, Schectman provided a wealth of information on a variety of pressing topics that are shaping the financial landscape today.

As we navigated through a post-pandemic world, Schectman’s take on the current economic situation was both candid and eye-opening. He expressed concerns about the complexities of our economic recovery and the challenges that lie ahead.

 With inflation still a lingering issue and supply chain disruptions continuing to ripple through the market, Schectman emphasized the importance of being vigilant and proactive in these uncertain times.

One of the most discussed topics was the inconsistency surrounding Federal Reserve (Fed) rate cuts and their impact on yields. Traditionally, one would expect that lower interest rates would translate into decreased yields, but Schectman illuminated why this hasn’t been the case in today’s economic environment.

He attributed the stagnant yields to a deeper issue regarding market confidence and liquidity, suggesting that simply adjusting interest rates is not sufficient to ignite robust economic growth.

Schectman introduced listeners to the concept of financial repression, a situation where inflation outpaces interest rates, effectively eroding savings. He explained how this can serve as a double-edged sword: while it can benefit borrowers, it creates hardships for savers, particularly retirees who depend on fixed-income investments.

This ongoing repression could prompt investors to reconsider traditional saving mechanisms, potentially steering them toward assets such as precious metals, which have historically served as a hedge against inflation.

The conversation took a fascinating turn toward global geopolitics when Schectman delved into the implications of BRICS—a coalition of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—and the emerging risks of a new axis of power. He theorized that as BRICS nations seek to offset Western economic dominance, they may forge new trade alliances and currency frameworks that could challenge the U.S. dollar’s supremacy.

This shift has monumental implications, not only for international trade but also for U.S. foreign policy and economic stability. Schectman encouraged listeners to stay abreast of these developments, as shifts in global alliances could have a direct impact on domestic economic conditions.

A particularly intriguing topic was the prospect of a BRICS currency. As member countries explore the possibility of creating a joint currency, Schectman noted the potential this could hold in facilitating trade among member nations without relying on the dollar.

This move could symbolize a significant shift toward a multipolar world economic system, fostering new dynamics in trade that could subsequently impact global markets.

Andy Schectman’s appearance on the WTFinance podcast was an enlightening session that provided listeners with a comprehensive view of the intricate economic issues facing us today. From the perplexities of interest rates to the emergence of BRICS as a formidable economic bloc, Schectman’s insights are invaluable for anyone looking to navigate the current financial landscape.

As we look ahead, it’s clear that understanding these evolving dynamics will be crucial in making informed investment decisions and preparing for potential shifts in both domestic and global markets. For those seeking to gain deeper insights into precious metals and the broader economy, this episode is a must-listen!

Whether you’re an investor, a financial professional, or simply someone interested in the world of finance, tuning into conversations like these can enrich your understanding of today’s complexities and uncertainties. Join us in the excitement and exploration of these vital topics as they unfold.

Global Currency Reset:

Fri. 15 Nov. 2024 Frank26 Bank Story: This time we didn’t go down, we just called the bank on Mon. 11 Nov. 2024. We said we want to see if we can exchange some currency and he said what kind of currency? We said Iraqi dinar. He didn’t even skip a beat, he said, well I’m not sure about that one right now let me talk to my colleagues and I’ll get back to you. Easy-peasy, we were just kind of shocked. 

 Frank Bank Story Cont…..He put me on hold and came back and he very calmly said sir… with the amount that you told us you have, the Brinks truck will come to your house and they will do the exchange right there in your house and then you'll be good to go.  It'll be in your bank.  

You'll be able to verify it on your phone, in your app that shows your banking information.  He said you'll be able to validate on a computer, all that jazz, that the money is in your account...

They're saying we should have and accountant and tax attorney.  They have a list of all that, that they'd be more than happy to share. I said no thank you I have all that covered...It was amazing.  Our jaws dropped...This was [last] Monday by the way..

Your R&R monies will already be in your Quantum Account that you will activate when you do your exchange.

You will have a new email account set up at the Redemption Center.

Your Quantum Card will only be used to transfer funds from your Quantum Account to your Master bank account with Wells. You can transfer to other banks from there.

Ginger: “Protecting my contacts, while I’m not permitted to explain the exact details, I’ll just tell you I’ve verified the most encouraging and LEGIT news for Tier 1 through Tier 4A/Bond holders that I’ve ever heard from my REAL People contacts on Wednesday. It took several hours to vet the details after work, so I’m reporting this, with extreme CONFIDENCE”.

Thurs. 14 Nov. 2024 Tony (forward from Fred Koch):

Tony said Monday 18 Nov. 2024 was to be our day.

It was his guess that the World Bank was holding the RV up because of an unexplained issue.

The emails hadn’t gone out as expected. Bank personnel were rousted out of bed 2:30am Sunday morning to prepare for Monday. When Monday came and went they were still put on standby because the RV could happen at any moment.

At one point Tony was interrupted by a text or phone call. He said that the caller told him RV was imminent and that the caller had given him the actual date. (Which Tony wouldn’t divulge)

So we were left with a timeframe (3 days) and an assurance on Bolivar (Soberano) exchange rate of 30 cents/ Soberano or $30 million/100 Digitale (100 million Soberano).

Thurs. 14 Nov. 2024 RV Highlights on Telegram: “We are almost there and it is always quiet before the storm. The levels above us will start on Fri. 15 Nov. 2024. There are over 7,000 regional call centers which will set your appointments. Those who do not get notified by email can find the information on the Web. It will be easily available. In Iraq their Victory Day is Dec. 10. We will go before the end of the month.”

Mnt Goat    I had an interesting conversation with my CBI contact...Wednesday.   We talked about the new peg for the dinar. The new peg is established and will finally take the place for IQD peg instead the sole de facto peg to the US dollar. I was told we will shortly see news articles on this subject matter as they educate the citizens...

Militia Man  Article quote:  "The Turkish Central Bank supports these steps along with the Central Bank of Iraq for regulating financial operations between the two countries."   What does it do?   It contributes to facilitating commercial transactions...That's talking about international trade and that's what we're waiting for.  At some point they're going to have to have an international calculation and a Forex traded currency...

Fed To Face Existential Threat The Financial System | Michael Pento

Liberty and Finance:  11-15-2024

Portfolio manager Michael Pento highlights the inflationary risks tied to unchecked currency printing and the potential for a liquidity crisis, similar to past events.

Pento warns that such a crisis could freeze credit markets, leading to an economic collapse unless the Fed intervenes by printing even more money, exacerbating inflation.

He explains that gold is a favorable investment in scenarios of inflation or stagflation, as it thrives in environments of economic stagnation and rising prices.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS MEETING WITH SAUDI ARABIA: MAJOR DISCUSSION POINTS UNVEILED

Despite the ongoing confusion regarding the country’s position within the economic alliance, the BRICS bloc and Saudi Arabia have met, with major points of discussion being unveiled. The nation had previously accepted an invitation to be among its first expanded members. However, that proved not to be the case, with major leadership not even attending the alliance’s 2024 Summit.

However, the two sides are still reportedly engaged in positive talks. Specifically, they have met to confront the potential for growing cooperation on a global scale.

The move could have major ramifications for the coming year. Moreover, it could be a turning point that reestablishes Riyadh as a key BRICS ally.

Saudi Arabia & BRICS Hold Key Discussion: Here’s What Was Said
The BRICS bloc has grown massively over the last year. Indeed, it had enacted a groundbreaking expansion in 2023, where four nations joined the collective. Specifically, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, Iran, and Ethiopia became the first expansion countries since 2001.

Yet, one nation that had accepted, but did not join the bloc was Saudi Arabia. Indeed, the country was poised to be one of the most important additions to the economic alliance. Its dominance in the oil sector was expected to only strengthen the group’s position. However, the country would end up rejecting a full position within the bloc.

That hasn’t stopped the two sides from engaging in efforts to strengthen their relations. Indeed, BRICS has met with Saudi Arabia in recent discussions that sought to fortify their relationship. Specifically, reports how Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud, recently talked.

According to reports, the two sides discussed the success of the bloc’s 2024 Summit. Moreover, they affirmed the “importance of continued coordination between the two states” within economic collaborations. Finally, they both spoke highly of the ongoing trajectory of their nation’s partnerships.

However, they also highlighted the importance of their “readiness to further strengthen cooperation in political, trade, economic, and humanitarian spheres.” The bloc has recently shifted its focus amid an ever-changing geopolitical landscape.

With Donald Trump’s election taking place this month, the group has said they will no longer ditch the US dollar. Perhaps the absence of Western opposition makes continued partnership with Saudi Arabia more appealing to the Middle Eastern powerhouse.

UK GOVERNMENT CONFIRMS DIGITAL GILTS PILOT. WHAT’S THE ROADMAP?

The UK’s HM Treasury has confirmed plans to run a pilot for the issuance of digital gilts, UK government bonds, following leaked news earlier this week. The previous Conservative government had also planned to organize a pilot.

t’s seen as an important step for UK capital markets, particularly as the UK has launched a Digital Securities Sandbox for DLT and tokenization pilots.

The UK could benefit more than other jurisdictions. One of the killer apps for blockchain in capital markets is repurchase agreements or repos, which involve exchanging cash for gilts. This allows banks and institutions to either lend excess liquidity or borrow it if they are short.

Conventional repos involve delayed securities settlement, which means repo duration is typically overnight. By contrast, blockchain supports instant settlement enabling intraday repo. The ability to manage liquidity for hours at a time is very attractive to banks and other institutions.

Intraday repo is already happening by tokenizing existing Treasuries in the United States. A native digital gilt would make the process far easier.

On top of that, the UK has Fnality, a tokenized cash settlement network backed by an omnibus account at the Bank of England. Fnality is backed by more than 20 institutions.

Hence, with a digital gilt, the UK will have both a digital security and cash on chain.

With the previous government floating the idea, industry trade body UK Finance collaborated with EY to draft a digital gilt roadmap. It submitted it to the government in April, but published it today.

A digital gilt roadmap
It suggests two alternative approaches, one is more evolutionary whereas the other is a Big Bang path.

In the multi-staged approach it suggests issuing a short dated digital Treasury bill within the first six months with only a limited number of market participants.

In the second phase within the first year, a medium term digital gilt would have more functionality. For example, it would involve more market makers and a wider group of investors.

Most importantly, it would be integrated with the existing off-chain secondary market, with the gilts eligible as collateral for repo. These are essential steps to ensure liquidity.

The third phase within 18 months would involve another issuance with both the trading of gilts and repo performed on chain.

The Big Bang approach would essentially skip the first two steps and happen in a more compressed time frame. The UK Finance paper outlines the pros and cons of each path.

A major hurdle could be the legal and regulatory work needed to support digital gilts being used as collateral for repo and other purposes. Plus, there’s the need to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity.

Switzerland is one of the most advanced jurisdictions in this area. Its central bank considers using digital Treasury bills for money market operations as premature, given the immaturity of the DLT sector.

However, Switzerland was the first mover in launching a digital securities exchange, so progress unsurprisingly has been slow going. By contrast, there’s been strong interest and engagement in the ECB’s wholesale DLT settlement trials, with market participants hoping the trials won’t end.

UK Finance believes that with the digital gilt program “the UK can lay the groundwork for a robust and innovative digital capital market ecosystem, bolstering its position as a global leader in financial technology and digital finance.”

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani and Al-Ameri: The census is an additional pillar for economic reform plans 

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani and Secretary-General of the Badr Organization Hadi al-Amiri confirmed on Friday that the success of the general census is an added pillar to the development and economic reform plans.

The Prime Minister's media office stated in a statement that "Al-Sudani met with Al-Amiri, where during the meeting they discussed all service and national files, and ways to proceed with implementing the government program, especially after completing the constitutional entitlement and choosing the Speaker of the House of Representatives."

He added that "the two sides discussed the upcoming entitlements, most notably the general population census and the importance of its success to be an added pillar to the development and economic reform plans, in addition to reviewing the regional and international situations, in light of the continued Zionist aggression on Palestine and Lebanon, and international efforts to stop the war and escalation."   link

Tishwash:  Urgent Parliament Presidency sets date for resuming sessions

The Parliament Presidency set, today, Friday, the date for resuming sessions next week after the completion of the population census operations in the country.

The media department of the House of Representatives stated in a statement received by {Euphrates News} that "the Presidency of the House of Representatives affirms its full support for conducting the general population and housing census 2024, and urges the representatives to direct and encourage citizens in their areas to cooperate with the field teams affiliated with the Ministry of Planning to accomplish their tasks with the aim of making the census operations that will be conducted on the 20th and 21st of this month a success."

Tishwash:  PM's advisor: Government able to increase spending without inflation or fiscal deficit

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, confirmed today, Saturday, that the good performance of the financial space is an indication of the government's ability to spend without problems, while he pointed out that the government was not hindered by the shortage in the regular flow of public revenue in some months.

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA), "The government's financial policy worked towards the principle of fiscal space in the economy, which means that the pace of growth in general and investment spending on projects in particular were not hampered by the temporary shortage in the regular flow of public revenue in some months."

He added, "Therefore, the good performance of the fiscal space indicates the government's ability to increase spending or social support to support the economy without causing serious financial problems such as inflation or a large deficit."

He continued, "This space is still available when the state's financial situation is good, and allows the government to take fiscal policies to stimulate economic growth, such as increasing spending on infrastructure or improving social services." link

Tishwash:  Iranian newspaper: Iraq's development path is a step towards regional economic integration

 Iraqi media reported that Iraq has made its first commercial ship docking at the port of Faw. This project aims to develop Iraq and reduce the country's dependence on crude oil, and will be fully operational by 2050 in three phases. Upon completion of this project, a route will start from the port of Faw and end in Turkey and from there to Europe via land routes in various Iraqi governorates.

The Donya-e Eqtesad newspaper said in a report that this corridor increases the strategic importance of Iraq as a neighboring country to Iran and creates competition between the Iranian North-South Corridor and the Iraqi Development Road Project. As an alternative to traditional transportation routes, the Iraqi Development Road Project connects the Gulf countries to Turkey with the aim of creating a cross-border transportation network for Iraq.

Road development project

The basis of this project is linked to the Faw Port Project. This is one of the important projects implemented by the Iraqi government to improve the country’s infrastructure and boost economic development. The port project, which is located in southern Iraq and adjacent to the Gulf countries, and serves as a vital channel linking the Gulf to the Mediterranean Sea, is expected to require an investment of $1.2 billion.

Overall, the project includes the construction of a new port capable of receiving large ships, complete logistics facilities and related infrastructure. The annual capacity of this port is also expected to reach 12 million tons. After the completion of its final stages, the goal of the Faw Port Project is to improve the transportation capabilities of Iraqi ports, reduce logistics costs, and further promote economic development in Iraq and economic exchanges and cooperation with neighboring countries such as Turkey.

Challenges of Faw Port Project

The Faw Port project requires an investment of $1.2 billion, which poses a major financial challenge. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that the project progresses after addressing the financing issue.

On the one hand, the Iraqi government can seek assistance from international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the Development Bank for low-interest loans or grants. The UAE and Qatar are also expected to provide strong financial support for this project. Other financing options can be pursued including loans from European banks and Turkish investment in this project.

Given the location of this project in a sensitive and strategic region in the Middle East, geopolitical risks are a concern for its project sponsors. Ensuring regional peace and stability is of paramount importance during the project implementation stages. It is necessary to strengthen communication and coordination with regional countries to maintain common peace and stability, and to fully take into account the interests and concerns of neighboring countries in the project implementation to minimize the impact of the project on the political landscape in the region.

The Faw-Iraq-Turkey Port Corridor will not only strengthen Iraq’s relations with Turkey, but will also deepen its engagement with the entire region. The project will play a role in enhancing the close economic and political cooperation between Iraq and Turkey by creating a vital bridge between the two countries.

In addition, the corridor is expected to be integrated into broader regional initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, thus increasing Iraq’s geopolitical importance. As a participant in the Belt and Road Initiative, Iraq will benefit from closer ties with China, infrastructure development, and investment opportunities. This not only makes Iraq’s economic prospects more clear, but also increases its diplomatic standing on the international stage.

Turkey has played a key role in transporting energy resources from the Caucasus and Russia to energy-hungry European markets. Now, this new highway is a transit point for energy shipments from the Gulf to Europe, which Iraq connects by land. Iraq will thus provide a low-cost route not only for Iraqi oil and gas, but also for Iranian and Qatari oil and gas.

Regional stability

In light of the above, it is clear that the Faw-Iraq-Turkey Port Project is of great importance for promoting regional integration, economic growth and geopolitical stability in Iraq. This means that the construction of this corridor not only creates an important link between Iraq and Turkey, but also brings many benefits and opportunities to the entire region.

Moreover, this is not only an important step towards regional economic integration and development, but also helps to promote peace and stability in the region. This project makes an important contribution to the sustainable development of the region by enhancing trade links, strengthening bilateral relations, and promoting prosperity and development in the wider region.

However, although  the Al-Faw-Iraq-Turkey port project is expected to play  a positive role in regional connectivity and economic development, this corridor is a competitor to Iranian trade routes, especially the North-South corridor, because this project could open an alternative route for the Russians to the Gulf countries, and reduce Iran's strategic importance in the region. link
