All Signs Point to Reset: How Every Fiat System Ends in Collapse!

All Signs Point to Reset: How Every Fiat System Ends in Collapse!

Lynette Zang:  10-18-2025

Every fiat system ends in collapse, and all signs point to another reset.

 Since 1971, when the dollar was cut loose from gold, productivity gains vanished while inflation quietly stole purchasing power.

Now debt is exploding, real estate is distorted, and central banks are hoarding gold behind the scenes.

This isn’t a coincidence—it’s the controlled transition to the next monetary system.

Lynette exposes the pattern, the players, and how to protect yourself before the reset goes public.

Tishwash:  A driver was arrested for attempting to smuggle counterfeit foreign currency through the Qaim border crossing.

The Border Ports Authority announced, on Saturday, the arrest of a driver who attempted to smuggle counterfeit foreign currency through the Al-Qaim port.

The authority said in a statement, "The Al-Qaim Border Port Directorate was able to apprehend an Iraqi driver while attempting to smuggle counterfeit foreign currency, in addition to 22 ancient coins, a number of foreign passports and SIM cards."

The statement added, "The seizure operation was carried out in coordination and cooperation with the Customs Center and supporting departments at the port."

It pointed out that "a formal seizure report was prepared, and the driver and the seized items were referred to the Al-Qaim Police Station to complete the necessary legal procedures."  link

Tishwash:  Prime Minister's Advisor: Iraq is experiencing its most stable period thanks to strong foreign reserves.

 The Prime Minister's advisor for financial affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, issued a clarification on Sunday regarding Iraq's internal and external debt.

While noting that domestic borrowing represents only 18 percent of the total precautionary debt, he confirmed the existence of committees working with international companies to convert a portion of the domestic debt into investment vehicles.

 Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "There is a blurry picture in interpreting the issue of external debt, as the external debts due until 2028 do not exceed $9 billion, which constitutes mostly half of the country's total external debt," indicating that "there are coordinated repayment mechanisms between the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank, which are highly governed and transparent, and are settled accurately within a strict program and allocations in the federal general budget, and are periodically extinguished with the international creditor community."

He added, "The total external debt does not exceed what was mentioned above, and the amounts mentioned in the Central Bank's letter require explanation, as Iraq is not obligated to pay them, especially the $41 billion, as they are subject to the Paris Club agreement of 2004, which wrote off 80% or more of those debts related to the Iran-Iraq war, or what are called pre-1990 debts."

He continued, "As for the domestic debt referred to in the Central Bank's letter, it is the result of the accumulation of financial, security, financial and health crises that the Iraqi economy has been exposed to over the past decade and since the war on ISIS terrorism. This has been accompanied in recent years by severe geopolitical factors that have exposed global oil markets to a decline in prices due to the decline in growth in the global economy."

He explained that "the borrowing undertaken by the current government as domestic debt constitutes only 18% of the total precautionary domestic debt included in the federal general budget (the three-year budget) pursuant to Law No. 13 of 2023 for the years 2023-2025."

He stated that "the internal debt, which amounts to approximately 91 trillion dinars, is mostly held by the government banking system and under high-level financial and technical management," noting that "there are specialized committees working in cooperation with international consulting companies to convert a large portion of that internal public debt into productive investment tools within a national fund to manage the aforementioned internal debt in a manner that aims to stimulate the real economy and transform debt obligations into investment opportunities in the real sector of the Iraqi economy." He explained that "Iraq is currently experiencing the most stable period due to the strength of foreign reserves, the function of which is to stabilize the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and sustainable development."  link

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

Tishwash:  Washington listens to Baghdad: Ambitious financial reforms seek credible implementation and institutional change.

This week, the Iraqi delegation participated in a banking reform conference held in Washington on the sidelines of the IMF and World Bank meetings. The event is a practical test of Baghdad's ability to present a realistic picture of the results of its economic program.

The Iraqi delegation, which included a number of advisors and financial officials, sought to highlight the reform steps achieved over the past two years as indicators of the country's transition from crisis management to building a modern economic system.

Advisor to the Prime Minister, Saleh Mahoud Salman, who presented Iraq's paper at the conference, outlined a series of measures he described as "a pivotal stage in the path of economic and financial reform." He explained that the government is "implementing a strategic banking reform package in cooperation with the Central Bank and international consulting firms," ​​focusing on "restructuring government banks, expanding financial inclusion, and automating the customs and tax system."

However, this proposal, while important from an administrative perspective, raises broader questions about the depth of the transformation and its compatibility with the requirements of a rapidly evolving global economy.

Reform in a financial environment like Iraq's, where structural challenges intertwine with political constraints, is not measured by the number of projects as much as it is by the state's ability to change the behavior of the financial system itself.

Indicators of reform... but to what extent?

The government says the preparation of a three-year budget represents a qualitative shift in financial planning, an unprecedented step in the modern history of Iraq. However, financial economists point out that the success of this model depends on the availability of accurate data and stable monetary policy, two conditions that still face challenges in a financial environment that relies on oil revenues for more than 90% of the country's GDP.

Institutional economists believe that "budget stability does not necessarily mean stable growth," as volatility in oil prices and weak economic diversification make any long-term planning vulnerable to disruption in the event of a global crisis or a decline in demand for crude oil.

In contrast, the Prime Minister's advisor points out that the government has been able to increase customs and tax revenues by automating the customs system using the UN-approved ASYCUDA program, which reflects the beginning of bridging the gap between the formal and parallel economies.

However, economic researchers believe that the success of this step requires an effective regulatory system and a flexible administrative structure, as technology alone is not sufficient to change work culture or reduce administrative corruption, which is one of the most prominent obstacles to financial reform in Iraq.

Financial inclusion and digital transformation: between ambition and capability

Electronic payment systems are one of the areas that have witnessed the most tangible progress, with financial inclusion rising from less than 10% to more than 40% in two years, according to the government advisor.

This digital leap is an indicator of a gradual shift in citizens' financial behavior, especially with the expanding use of bank cards and mobile payment services.

However, banking observers believe that the quantitative expansion is not matched by qualitative developments in the banking structure. Banking services in most government banks remain traditional and rely on paper transactions, while the private sector suffers from restrictions in accessing external financing.

Digital economy experts point out that the transition to an e-economy cannot be complete without a comprehensive legal and legislative environment that ensures protection from financial crimes and builds trust between citizens and the banking system.

Some economists argue that Iraq, despite its relative progress in this area, is still in the "experimental" phase and needs to integrate technology into the public financial management system, not just into individual transactions.

Banking Sector Restructuring: Reform or Role Rotation?

Restructuring state-owned banks (Rafidain, Rashid, Industrial, and Agricultural) is a key pillar of the government's plan. The government announces that it has increased the operational efficiency of these banks and begun reevaluating their assets. However, financial analysts believe that true reform cannot be achieved simply through administrative restructuring, but rather through the ability of these institutions to transform into sustainable financing entities that effectively contribute to driving local production.

Rafidain and Rashid, which represent approximately 80% of the banking market, still operate according to a traditional services model, while private banks face weak confidence from investors and depositors alike.

Banking finance experts point out that structural reform in the Iraqi banking sector requires gradual liberalization of credit policies and the activation of partnerships with regional banks, as a closed economy cannot benefit from global growth or external financing.

Poor institutional continuity and changing strategies

One of the most significant structural challenges facing economic reform in Iraq is the lack of institutional continuity. Each new government tends to reformulate the economic strategy from scratch, even in areas where tangible progress has been made.

This recurring pattern of "administrative rupture" hinders the accumulation of experience and leads to a loss of the institutional foundation necessary for any genuine reform process. Instead of building on previous programs and evaluating their results, plans are replaced by new projects presented under a different title, without any scientific review or analysis of previous policies.

Institutional economics researchers point out that this behavior reflects the weakness of the Iraqi state's institutional structure, as there are no permanent planning bodies or economic councils to ensure the continuity of policies regardless of changes in government.

Thus, the reform process often becomes a short-term political project, tied to the government's cycle rather than the economic cycle, limiting its ability to produce a sustainable economic impact or build internal and external confidence in fiscal policies.

Are these steps sufficient to keep pace with global transformations?

Iraq's experience with financial and banking reform demonstrates that the problem has never been a lack of vision, but rather its frequent interruptions. Each government introduces new plans, discarding previous ones, as if the state is starting from scratch with each political cycle. This behavior reflects not only a contradiction in priorities, but also a weak institutional structure that lacks a continuous economic memory capable of transferring experience and embedding successful policies.

Public economics studies confirm that the success of any financial reform depends more on accumulated experience and continuity than on the amount of funding or international support. In the Iraqi case, reforms are still managed according to the logic of the "governmental phase" rather than the "national phase," which makes them vulnerable to disruption as soon as the political orientation shifts.

The steps presented at the Washington conference reflect a clear technical effort, but they will not translate into actual achievement unless they are linked to independent institutions capable of protecting reform from political change. Reform is not achieved by changing plans, but rather by establishing an implementation mechanism that is not affected by changes in ministers or governments.

Thus, it can be said that financial reform in Iraq is moving in the right direction in terms of form, but it still requires a permanent institutional framework that ensures sustainability and transforms reform from a government initiative into a state-led process that remains unchanged by changes in leadership.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Shaky Peace: U.S.-Brokered Middle East Truce and Rising Asian Border Tensions

Cease-fires signal calm — but deeper geopolitical shifts are underway.

Middle East Developments

The U.S. has announced what it called “peace in the Middle East” after mediating a cease-fire deal between Hamas and Israel, including the release of hostages.

However, analysts warn the declaration may be more symbolic than structural, as the core disputes over Gaza’s governance, security, and territory remain unresolved.

  ● Cease-fire terms were agreed under international pressure, yet fragile enforcement leaves open the risk of renewed clashes.
  ● Humanitarian access remains limited, with aid groups calling the situation “tenuous and conditional.”
  ● Analysts (The Guardian, Modern Diplomacy) note that Israel’s security cabinet remains divided over long-term governance plans for Gaza.
  ● Modern Diplomacy emphasizes that “the truce hangs by a thread,” with both sides bracing for possible violations amid high distrust.

Regional Ripples and Reconstruction

Peace declarations often trigger financial and geopolitical recalibrations across the region.
  ● Reconstruction flows: Billions in aid and private capital are being prepared for Gaza and surrounding economies.
  ● Refugee resettlement pressures are likely to shift demographics in Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt.
  ● Energy and trade corridors could reopen, potentially linking Israel, Egypt, and Gulf economies under new U.S.-backed frameworks.
  ● Defense realignments are expected as Arab states reconsider U.S. and BRICS-led security partnerships.

Southeast Asia: A Second Front of Diplomacy

At the same time, a border conflict between Thailand and Cambodia has resurfaced — underscoring how fragile peace remains in Asia’s emerging power zones.
  ● Cease-fire talks are underway, with U.S. and ASEAN mediators active ahead of the Kuala Lumpur Summit (Oct 26–28).
  ● Strategic implications: Southeast Asia continues to serve as a proxy arena for great-power competition between the U.S. and China.
  ● Trade and infrastructure stakes are high, especially with cross-border supply chains and Belt and Road investments in play.

Why It Matters

  ● These peace efforts — from the Middle East to Southeast Asia — are not isolated.
  ● Each region reflects a broader financial and geopolitical realignment, driven by shifting alliances and competing global debt strategies.
  ● What appears as diplomacy is also a restructuring of influence, capital flows, and resource control across multiple continents.
  ● Cease-fires and negotiations are becoming tools of financial recalibration, shaping who finances reconstruction, who builds infrastructure, and who profits from new corridors of trade.
  ● The current moment marks more than a pause in conflict — it represents a rebalancing of the world’s economic architecture, negotiated through the language of peace.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

U.S.–China Trade Tensions Deepen Amid IMF Warning and Global Markets Bracing for Impact
As tariffs and credit risks build, investors are reassessing global growth and market stability.

Global Outlook Turns Cautious

Global finance leaders meeting at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in Washington this week issued a sober warning: renewed U.S.–China trade frictions, rising sovereign debt, and tightening non-bank credit markets are forming a “triple squeeze” on the world economy.
  ● Trade tensions are resurfacing as Washington weighs new tariffs and Beijing retaliates with export controls — a dynamic the IMF calls a “drag on both growth and confidence.”
  ● High debt levels across emerging and developed markets are compounding the strain, with several countries approaching fiscal limits on public borrowing.
  ● Credit tightening among shadow lenders and private funds adds to systemic stress, signaling liquidity concerns beyond traditional banking.

Market Jitters and Safe-Haven Surge

At the same time, global markets reacted sharply to renewed uncertainty:
  ● Regional U.S. banks reported exposure to deteriorating commercial and private credit, triggering a selloff in financial shares.
  ● Global stock indices slipped, led by losses in Europe and Asia, while the S&P 500 fell amid heightened risk aversion.
  ● Gold surged to new highs, reflecting investors’ move toward safe-haven assets.

Investors are also bracing for a critical data week ahead, with U.S. inflation (CPI) and key corporate earnings — including Tesla, Netflix, and Intel — expected to shape sentiment.

Systemic Risks Converging

According to IMF officials, the intersection of trade pressures, debt overhangs, and credit fragility could transform isolated risks into a broader systemic stress event.
  ● Global growth forecasts have been downgraded again for 2025.
  ● Cross-border capital flows are slowing, reducing liquidity across emerging markets.
  ● The IMF cautions that “what appeared to be regional or sectoral risks are now becoming globally correlated.”

Implications and Outlook

While policymakers aim to stabilize expectations, the underlying trend suggests a realignment of global finance:
  ● Trade disputes are reshaping supply chains and accelerating the move toward de-dollarized trade blocs.
  ● Credit markets are exposing structural weaknesses in non-bank financial intermediaries.
  ● Investors are positioning defensively — signaling that volatility, not stability, may define the coming months.

Why it Matters

When trade wars, debt overhangs, and banking credit strains converge, we’re witnessing the architecture of the global financial system being tested in real time.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

UK’s Crypto Countdown: Toward Stablecoin Rules by 2026

Making Britain a trusted hub for digital assets — if the rules get done on time.

What’s happening

• The Bank of England (BoE) and UK regulators plan to finalize a regulatory framework for stablecoins by the end of 2026. 

• A public consultation is set to launch on 10 November 2025, inviting feedback from the industry, investors and other stakeholders. 

• The UK intends to align its regime with U.S. stablecoin rules, particularly around what assets must back the coins (e.g., short-term government debt). 

Why this matters

• Stablecoins — crypto assets pegged to things like the US dollar or the British pound — are becoming a major part of digital payments and finance ecosystems.

• Clear regulation could position the UK as a global leader in the crypto and fintech space, attracting startups, finance firms and investment.

• But if regulation is too slow, too bureaucratic or mis-aligned, the UK risks losing ground to other jurisdictions such as the U.S., Singapore or the EU.

The UK’s current crypto snapshot

• Roughly 7 million UK adults now hold some form of cryptocurrency — up from just 2.2 million in 2021. 

• The HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) is actively warning investors who may be under-reporting crypto gains.

• Firms in the crypto-space have been pushing for clear, fair and stable rules — many cite regulatory uncertainty as a barrier to growth.

What the new rules are expected to include

• Defining “qualifying stablecoins” (e.g., fiat-backed, issued from the UK) and bringing issuers under supervision of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) or BoE.

• Backing assets: Stablecoin issuers will be required to hold secure, liquid assets (e.g., short-term government debt) in trust, separated from other company liabilities. 

• Risk-management frameworks: Issuers will need documented policies for liquidity risk, custody, redemption mechanics and separation of assets. 

• Potential caps or limits: The BoE has floated caps for individual holdings (e.g., around £10,000–20,000) and for businesses, to mitigate rapid outflows of deposits into stablecoins. 

Global context & competitive risks

• In Europe, the Markets in Crypto‑Assets (MiCA) regulation becomes fully effective in 2025 — the UK wants to stay in step.

• In the U.S., stablecoin bills and regulatory moves (e.g., the so-called Genius Act) are pushing clarity and competition.

• If the UK misses the opportunity, startups and issuers may flock to more “crypto-friendly” regimes — or those already operational — reducing the UK’s fintech edge.

What to watch for next

• November 10 2025: The start of the consultation period — key for industry reaction and watching how open regulators are to feedback.

• How quickly secondary legislation and FCA/BoE rule-makings follow: The devil will be in the detail.

• Industry adaptation and migration: Will issuers wait for UK rules, or move abroad? Will holding caps or strict rules hinder or help?

• Interaction with banks and the traditional finance sector: How will stablecoins fit with deposits, tokenised assets and payments infrastructure in the UK’s system?

Why it Matters

If the UK delivers a strong, clear and globally-aligned stablecoin regime by 2026, it could become a trusted hub for digital assets, marrying innovation with protection. But the path is narrow — it needs pace, clarity and global coordination.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

50% Delinquency Spike Ignites Fears of 2008 Meltdown

50% Delinquency Spike Ignites Fears of 2008 Meltdown

Steven Van Metre:  10-17-2025

For years, the auto loan industry was considered a pillar of stability—a safe bet for lenders and a necessary tool for consumers. That stability is now officially shattered.

A detailed and urgent analysis of the U.S. auto market reveals a crisis escalating rapidly, fueled by surging car prices, unsustainable loan terms, and high interest rates. This alarming situation bears uncomfortable resemblances to the 2008 subprime mortgage meltdown, but this time, the crisis centers around car keys and repossessed vehicles, not homes.

It is no longer a remote headline; it is an imminent threat to local banks, consumer stability, and the overall U.S. economy. Here is a breakdown of why this crisis is deepening and the steps you need to take to protect your finances now.

The numbers paint a stark picture: Auto loan delinquencies have surged by over 50% in the last 15 years. What happened to turn a once-reliable credit sector into a major financial hazard?

While the subprime market is always the first to c***k (with 60+ day delinquencies reaching record highs), this crisis is unique: delinquencies are climbing across all income levels, including high earners.

This suggests that even financially stable households are beginning to feel the profound squeeze of inflation and high debt loads.

The auto loan crisis is not isolated. It is simultaneously a cause and a symptom of wider economic malaise.

The immediate threat is felt by lenders heavily dependent on auto debt: community banks and credit unions. Unlike major Wall Street institutions that can absorb varied losses, these local institutions, often central to regional economies, face severe risks as car loan delinquencies continue to climb. A wave of auto loan defaults could destabilize these vital local financial pillars.

The strain on consumer finances is already filtering into the wider economy. We are seeing a weakening of retail spending, a critical indicator that signals rising consumer concern and a cautious pullback on purchasing. This pattern strongly suggests an economic slowdown is underway, likely triggering a recession.

Furthermore, small businesses—the engine of the U.S. economy—are also facing rising operational costs and increased borrowing rates, risking job losses and further economic contraction.

In a period defined by financial volatility and systemic risk, proactive defense is paramount. According to the analysis presented by expert Steven Van Metre, individuals must prioritize liquidity, safety, and asset management.

Maintain a Deep Emergency Fund: Ensure you have readily accessible, liquid funds (cash or cash equivalents) to cover at least six months of expenses. In a crisis, liquidity is king.

Diversify Bank Exposure: Avoid having all your wealth tied up in a single institution. Spread your deposits across multiple banks or credit unions to maximize FDIC/NCUA coverage.

As the economy slows and volatility increases, look to shift assets into sectors that historically weather downturns well:

Treasuries: Government bonds (particularly short-to-intermediate term) offer a safe haven and predictable returns during periods of recessionary fear.

Defensive Sectors: Consider investments in utilities, consumer staples, and healthcare, which tend to maintain demand regardless of the economic climate.

If you have a high-cost vehicle that is not essential, now may be the time to act:

Sell Underutilized Vehicles: If you are paying a high monthly note on a third family vehicle or a truck you rarely use (especially if remote work has reduced its necessity), consider selling it now. Vehicle values are expected to depreciate further as the repo market floods supply and consumer demand weakens.

The auto loan crisis is a clear warning sign that significant economic volatility is ahead. This is a time for prudence, not panic, but it requires immediate action to safeguard your personal financial foundation.

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Updates for October 17th, 2025

Jon Dowling: Weekly RV Updates for October 17th, 2025

10-17-2025

This week marks another crucial pivot point in global finance and geopolitics. As we navigate the complex currents driving the anticipated Global Currency Reset (GCR), Jon Dowling delivers his weekly RV (Revaluation) report, focusing on the latest developments in reconstruction funding, political volatility, and decisive shifts in the commodities and cryptocurrency markets.

The primary focus this week remains the Middle East, where geopolitical stability is directly tied to the flow of massive reconstruction funds—the very funds necessary to trigger the next stages of the GCR.

Following the recent peace summit in Egypt, the foundation has been laid for the substantial release of capital necessary for rebuilding.

This capital is specifically earmarked for Iraq and Iran. The hosts stressed that the anticipated revaluation of certain global currencies is intrinsically linked to the successful deployment of these funds.

This process signifies a move toward regional stability and economic sovereignty, which remains a core pillar of the new global financial architecture.

However, where significant financial power is about to shift, opposition always follows.

The high stakes involved in these global financial transitions are signaling resistance from entrenched interests unwilling to relinquish control.

After recent, strong rallies, both silver and gold have experienced minor pullbacks this week. This consolidation is seen as healthy, but investors are encouraged to remain vigilant. Precious metals continue to act as essential hedges during periods of escalating global uncertainty.

As predicted in previous reports, crude oil prices are continuing their downward trend. This sustained decline impacts global energy markets and reflects anticipated shifts in energy policy and consumption patterns linked to the emerging financial paradigm.

Despite the current atmosphere of tension and market fluctuations, the report reiterated a theme of ultimate optimism. Reference was made to prophetic insights previously shared by Kim Clement, suggesting that while the world endures immediate turmoil, a monumental, positive financial shift is imminent.

This shift is expected to manifest notably in the cryptocurrency and precious metals sectors, bringing a breakthrough to those who have remained patient and watchful.

As the month of October draws to a close, the pace of global events is accelerating. The successful movement of reconstruction funds and the resolution of political volatility in key regions remain the critical markers for the next official phase of the Global Currency Reset.

Stay informed, stay vigilant, and remember that breakthroughs often follow the periods of greatest turbulence.

Watch the full video from Jon Dowling for further insights and detailed analysis of these complex global developments.

It is imperative to state clearly: This report is focused on sharing information and analysis of global events. It is not financial, investment, or trading advice. Always conduct your own due diligence and consult a certified professional before making any financial decisions.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

lobal Alert: 10+ Countries Unite to Halt BRICS Currency Initiative

An unprecedented coalition forms to challenge the BRICS gold-backed currency.

Western Powers Mobilize Against BRICS Currency

  ● Coalition formation: Over a dozen nations, including the U.S., U.K., Japan, and Germany, align to oppose the BRICS currency initiative.
  ● Dollar defense: President Trump calls BRICS de-dollarization efforts “an attack on the dollar” and threatens tariffs.
  ● Strategic concern: Western nations fear losing influence over trade, financing, and monetary sanctions.
  ● Coalition rationale: Countries see BRICS gold-backed currency as a potential destabilizer of existing financial systems.

BRICS Currency Development Gains Momentum

  ● Summit progress: At the 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil (July 2025), leaders reaffirmed commitments to monetary cooperation.
  ● Expanded influence: The BRICS-10 now represents 46% of global population and 37% of world GDP.
  ● Digital framework: BRICS Pay and blockchain technology enable cross-border settlements bypassing SWIFT.
  ● CBDC integration: Member nations advance central bank digital currency research to strengthen local currency settlements.
  ● Launch timeline: Analysts expect pilot programs and potential currency launch by 2026.

Why This Matters

  ● Geopolitical stakes: The coalition highlights Western concern over declining dollar dominance.
  ● Economic impact: A BRICS-backed currency could shift trade patterns and alter the global balance of financial power.
  ● Financial restructuring: This clash signals a structural shift — traditional dollar-centric systems face challenges from emerging blocs.
  ● Strategic takeaway: The outcome may dictate who controls the next era of global finance.

"This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes."

Tishwash:  From Washington: A new banking and economic reform package for Iraq

The Iraqi delegation participating in the banking reform conference in Washington, D.C., on the sidelines of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank meetings, announced a new package of banking and economic reforms on Saturday aimed at strengthening the stability of the financial system and attracting investment.

"The government has implemented a series of steps as part of the economic and financial reform program, most notably the implementation of comprehensive strategic banking reforms in cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq and international consulting firms, as well as the preparation of a three-year budget for the first time in Iraq's history to ensure stable financial planning that attracts investment," said Saleh Mahoud Salman, an advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, according to a statement received by Shafaq News Agency.

He added that "automating the customs system through the implementation of the United Nations ASYCUDA program has led to a significant increase in customs and tax revenues, the restructuring of government banks (Rafidain, Rasheed, Industrial, and Agricultural) and increased their operational efficiency, as well as the expansion of electronic payment systems and increased financial inclusion from less than 10% to more than 40% within two years."

Salman continued, "Support programs have been launched for small and medium-sized enterprises to create job opportunities and stimulate the local economy," noting that "these steps represent a pivotal stage in the economic reform process, and that the government will continue to support the development of the banking sector in cooperation with international institutions."

Prior to this, the Central Bank of Iraq announced new instructions to all authorized banks in the country regarding money transfers and customs clearance procedures related to the requirements for the approval of special commercial invoices, with the aim of curbing currency smuggling.

This measure comes as part of the efforts of the Central Bank of Iraq and government agencies to develop the financial and administrative environment and improve the level of oversight and compliance with international standards in foreign trade.  link

Tishwash: Highest since 2003: Confirmation of rising non-oil revenues and calls for economic reform

Representative Basem Naghmish expected, on Wednesday, that Washington would resort to imposing economic sanctions on Iraq, exploiting the pretext of "mismanagement" in the oil sector.

Naghmish told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The United States has become accustomed to using titles such as mismanagement or corruption as a cover to interfere in the affairs of countries, and there are indications that it is trying to follow the same approach with Iraq in the oil file.”

He added, "There is fear that these accusations will be exploited to impose sanctions that may affect oil exports," stressing that "their goal is to keep Iraq weak and influence its sovereign decision."

Earlier, Representative Intisar Al-Moussawi considered Trump's statement about Iraqi oil evidence of America's arrogant outlook, and Washington's treatment of Iraq as a source of wealth rather than a sovereign state.  link

Prime Minister Saleh Mahoud Salman's advisor confirmed on Friday that the government is continuing to implement comprehensive strategic banking reforms, noting that the government is committed to continuing to implement the economic and financial reform program

"The government is committed to continuing to implement the economic and financial reform program aimed at enhancing the efficiency of the banking system and supporting sustainable development in the country," Mahoud said in a speech he delivered during his participation as a government representative in the banking reform conference organized by the Central Bank of Iraq in cooperation with the international consulting firm (Oliver & Ayman) at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington, DC, on the sidelines of the meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

He stressed that "the banking sector represents a fundamental pillar in the economic reform process," indicating that "the government is continuing to implement comprehensive strategic banking reforms in cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq, aimed at raising banking standards and enhancing the competitiveness of the financial system."

He explained that "the government has prepared a three-year general budget for the first time, which allows for long-term financial planning, achieving stability in resource management, and enhancing the confidence of local and international investors."

In the context of diversifying revenues and reducing dependence on oil, he explained that "the government has achieved tangible progress in automating the customs system by implementing the United Nations (ASYCUDA) system, which has led to a clear increase in customs revenues in addition to a significant improvement in tax revenues," noting that "the government has implemented a program to restructure government banks (Al-Rafidain, Al-Rasheed, Industrial, and Agricultural) in cooperation with international consulting companies, With the aim of raising its efficiency and enhancing its ability to provide modern financial services.

He pointed out that "the government launched programs to expand the use of electronic payment and partnerships with financial technology companies, which contributed to raising the financial inclusion rate to more than 40% after it was less than 10% two years ago, which was praised by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund," stressing "the government's support for small and medium enterprises by providing financing and resources to create new job opportunities and stimulate the local economy."

Salman stated that "the banking reforms currently being worked on constitute a turning point in the history of Iraq's economic development, and that the government is determined to support all local and international institutions working to develop the banking sector, as it is a pivotal part of the economic growth and financial stability plan."

He noted that "the government extended its appreciation to the Central Bank, banks, and international and local advisory teams working in this field  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Balancing the Edge: Currency Calm Masks Deeper Market Tremors

When the dollar stands still, it often means the ground beneath it is shifting.

Global Markets Show Uneasy Balance

The global currency and commodity landscape entered a rare moment of balance this week, with the U.S. dollar holding steady even as geopolitical tensions escalated. Beneath that calm, traders are reading signals of strategic repositioning and subtle intervention.

The U.S. Treasury’s reported $200 million sale of Argentine pesos underscored Washington’s readiness to manage emerging-market stress. Meanwhile, silver and gold markets flashed early warning signs, as analysts at BCA Research cautioned that short squeezes in metals often precede liquidity shocks.

Signals Behind the Stability

In a world where currencies no longer simply reflect trade flows, they reveal political currents.

  ● Emerging-market currencies are increasingly vulnerable to sanctions, capital flight, and policy shocks.
  ● Commodity shifts, especially in gold and silver, now act as real-time sentiment barometers for systemic risk.
  ● Dollar steadiness may mask preparations for deeper financial decoupling between global blocs.

While the charts appear calm, the underlying movement suggests capital is seeking safe ground before the next round of monetary and geopolitical shifts.

Why This Matters

Currency stability often precedes structural change.
Behind today’s calm façade, the architecture of global finance is quietly evolving — away from interest-rate dominance and toward resource-backed value systems.

If this trajectory continues, the next era of global finance will not be defined by who sets rates — but by who controls tangible value: energy, metals, and strategic currencies.

Out with the old and in with the new — the signals are already in motion.

"This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes."

A Tunnel Through Time: The U.S.–Russia Meeting and Moscow’s New Diplomatic Blueprint

From political distance to physical connection, a quiet proposal could redefine global alignment.

A New Phase in U.S.–Russia Relations

Reports of an upcoming Trump–Putin meeting in Budapest have reignited speculation over a potential thaw between Washington and Moscow. Yet, beyond the headlines, an unexpected proposal is circulating — one that blends infrastructure, symbolism, and strategy.

According to a recent analysis from Modern Diplomacy, the Kremlin has advanced an “audacious bid” to create a physical tunnel link between the U.S. and Russia via the Bering Strait. The project, dubbed a “tunnel of diplomacy,” aims to symbolize a permanent channel of cooperation in trade, energy, and technology.

While the notion may seem ambitious, it fits within a larger narrative of economic realignment: building bridges — literally — as political alliances shift.

Strategic Implications

“In geopolitics, infrastructure is diplomacy made concrete.” — Modern Diplomacy, Oct 2025

  ● Such a project would bind energy and logistics networks across the Arctic, reducing reliance on Europe and Asia for trade routes.
  ● It could shift leverage from Western-controlled maritime channels to a joint Arctic corridor managed through bilateral agreements.
  ● For Washington, participation would signify a pragmatic, not ideological, shift — prioritizing resource access and stability over rivalry.

This concept reflects a subtle, post-sanction diplomacy: nations seeking economic interdependence as a tool for peace, not pressure.

Why This Matters

If realized, the “tunnel of diplomacy” would mark a physical manifestation of geopolitical restructuring.
It would connect not just two nations, but two financial systems — potentially linking Western capital flows with Eurasian resource frameworks.

In this sense, the bridge becomes the blueprint: a visible symbol of the emerging order where economic survival outweighs political division.

Out with the old, in with the new — diplomacy now runs through steel, not speeches.

"This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes."

Shockwaves and Safe Havens: How Geopolitical Risk Is Repricing the World

When politics drives markets, currencies become the first casualty.

Markets Under Pressure

A surge in geopolitical tension across Europe and the Middle East has sent investors scrambling for stability. Gold briefly touched another record high, and major currencies — from the yen to the euro — are moving not on economics, but on fear.

Even as central banks signal caution, capital flight toward tangible assets is reshaping how markets interpret risk. Traders once gauged volatility through interest-rate moves; today, they track troop deployments, sanctions, and energy routes.

A New Era of Risk Pricing

“Geopolitical instability is now a leading indicator, not a lagging one.” — IMF Outlook, October 2025

  ● Safe-haven demand for gold, silver, and oil reflects declining confidence in fiat-based stability.
  ● Sovereign debt markets are fragmenting, with yields moving inversely to traditional logic.
  ● BRICS+ economies are doubling down on commodity-backed trade, insulating themselves from Western liquidity shocks.

This shift signals that the next financial reset may emerge not from policy — but from pressure.
The global economy is quietly repricing itself around security of value, not the promise of growth.

Why This Matters

The world is witnessing a structural rotation in capital confidence.
When gold outperforms currencies, it means the trust equation is changing — away from central banks and toward real assets.
If these trends persist, the next financial order may no longer pivot on the dollar or euro, but on resource control and bilateral trade guarantees.

Out with the old and in with the new — the markets are already writing the first chapter of that transition.

"This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes."

Silver Shorts Panic? Silver Breaks $54, Gold $4300 | Ed Steer

Silver Shorts Panic? Silver Breaks $54, Gold $4300 | Ed Steer

Liberty and Finance: 10-16-2025

Silver has been rising sharply, climbing roughly a dollar per day and recently breaking above $54.

Market analyst Ed Steer joins Liberty and Finance to discuss the unprecedented physical shortages now emerging across global exchanges, with massive withdrawals from COMEX and tight supplies reported in London, India, and China.

He notes that open interest continues to rise alongside prices, signaling sustained demand and a lack of short covering among major traders.

Steer explains that the squeeze on physical availability reflects years of structural deficits and intensifying global investment interest.

 As the market approaches a potential turning point, he emphasizes the importance of owning physical silver and staying positioned ahead of what could become a historic move higher.

Jon Dowling: Currency Revaluations, NESARA, GESARA Updates with NVTV for October 2025

Jon Dowling: Currency Revaluations, NESARA, GESARA Updates with NVTV for October 2025

10-16-2025

For decades, the global financial system has operated on a faulty premise: fiat currency backed by nothing more than government trust. The result? Persistent inflation, declining purchasing power, and vast economic inequality.

But the winds are shifting.

A recent deep dive between financial analysts Jon Dowling and Nick suggests we are not just facing minor economic turbulence, but a foundational Global Reset—a calculated shift away from the corrupt, elite-controlled fiat world and back toward currencies backed by tangible, real-world assets.

Here is a breakdown of the key elements driving this anticipated economic revolution, focusing on currency revaluation, the role of gold, and the rise of strategic digital assets.

To understand where we are going, we must first look back to 1971—the moment the US dollar officially severed its ties to the gold standard. Jon Dowling highlights this date as the genesis of our current financial malaise.

The detachment allowed central authorities to print money virtually limitlessly, leading directly to the inflation and loss of currency purchasing power we experience today. This system has primarily served a small, corrupt elite.

The Reset is fundamentally about reversing this.

The goal is to restore economic sovereignty to nations by ensuring currencies are anchored by real assets—like gold, silver, and crucial natural resources. This move promises a fairer global trade environment and a predicted “golden age” of wealth redistribution and prosperity.

A currency revaluation (RV) is the purposeful adjustment of a nation’s currency valuation relative to global standards, often leading to massive gains for early investors.

The Historical Blueprint: The Kuwaiti Dinar The speakers point to the Kuwaiti Dinar post-Gulf War as a prime example. After strategic revaluation, holding the previously suppressed currency resulted in substantial wealth gains.

The Current Focus: The Iraqi Dinar (IQD) Today, all eyes are on Iraq. Due to extensive international investment, massive untapped natural resources (beyond oil, including precious metals), and strategic geopolitical positioning, the Iraqi Dinar is positioned as the “ribbon cutter”—the first major currency expected to undergo a significant RV.

Years of systemic corruption have prevented free international trade of the IQD at its true value. However, ongoing international efforts to cleanse and stabilize Iraq’s economy, combined with significant actions by the Iraqi government, signal imminent change.

The underlying infrastructure is being laid for Iraq to participate fully and fairly in the global economy, making the RV not a theoretical event, but a strategic necessity.

Trust in traditional fiat banks is nearing an all-time low, fueling a massive demand surge across alternative asset classes.

The price surges in gold and silver are not arbitrary; they reflect growing global distrust in unbacked paper money. Dowling notes the concept of backwardization in the silver and gold markets—a technical anomaly that signals severe stress and a weakening of the traditional financial clearing system. This flight to physical assets confirms that sophisticated actors are preparing for a systemic breakdown and subsequent restructure.

While the reset marks a return to tangible assets, it will be supported by advanced digital infrastructure. The conversation highlights XRP (Ripple) as a potential future backbone for international banking.

Significantly, the US Treasury reportedly creating an XRP wallet reinforces the idea that strategic cryptocurrencies are not just volatile speculative assets, but critical components being integrated into the future global payment and trade system. XRP is positioned as the swift, transparent means by which the new, gold-backed trade flows can be managed.

The push for a global reset is heavily supported by key voices advocating for economic fairness.

Dr. Judy Shelton, a potential appointee to the Fed or Treasury, advocates for a gold-backed US bond. This single action would restore vital global trust in US financial instruments and stabilize currency valuation worldwide, aligning with the principles of asset-backed sovereignty.

This sentiment echoes the long-held position of President Trump, who has consistently pushed back against currency manipulation, demanding a level playing field for international trade and monetary valuation.

Geopolitical events—like potential US intervention in Venezuela and unrest in Zimbabwe—are viewed as part of this global domino effect, clearing the final hurdles toward economic parity.

The message from Dowling and Nick is clear: the transition from a corrupt fiat system to one of tangible asset backing is underway.

While the process of cleaning up centuries of economic corruption takes time and resilience, the end result promises a “golden age” of global prosperity and wealth distribution.

For citizens observing this complex landscape, the encouragement is to stay resilient and hopeful. The true currency, they emphasize, is the people, and persistence in demanding systemic change will lead to significant positive growth.

To fully understand the mechanics and timeline of this momentous global shift, ensure you watch the complete discussion video from Jon Dowling and Nick.

India Cuts Russian Oil Imports by Half After U.S. Talks — A Shift with Global Implications

Energy diplomacy, sanctions pressure, and BRICS realignment collide

The Strategic Pivot

India has reportedly slashed Russian oil imports by 50% following recent U.S.–India trade talks, according to Reuters.

The decision marks a potential shift in New Delhi’s careful balance between cheap Russian crude and strategic ties with Washington.

• Since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, India became one of Moscow’s largest energy buyers, purchasing discounted oil despite Western sanctions.

• The U.S. has long urged India to diversify energy sources and align more closely with G7 sanctions policy.

• Indian refiners reportedly began cutting orders in September, though official data won’t confirm reductions until late 2025.

“This reduction follows constructive talks between our energy teams,” a White House spokesperson told Reuters. “We welcome India’s steps to support global stability.”

Why It Matters

The move underscores a realignment in global energy politics:

• India: Balances domestic affordability with growing Western diplomatic pressure.

• United States: Gains leverage in isolating Russian energy revenues without triggering global oil shocks.

• Russia: Faces shrinking Asian markets, further constraining revenues as Western sanctions deepen.

• China: May benefit from redirected Russian crude at deeper discounts, tightening Moscow–Beijing energy ties.

No formal Indian directive has been issued yet, and refiners are adjusting cautiously to avoid price instability.

Global Policy Implications

This quiet shift carries macro-financial consequences that tie directly into the broader “financial reset” narrative:

• Reduced Russian oil flows could tighten global liquidity in commodity trade, especially for nations transacting outside the dollar system.

• India’s move suggests deeper U.S. coordination to reassert the petrodollar framework, which BRICS nations — particularly Russia and China — have sought to challenge.

• As BRICS pushes for alternative settlement systems and gold-linked trade mechanisms, India’s participation becomes increasingly uncertain.

• This could fragment BRICS cohesion, weakening plans for a unified reserve asset or “BRICS currency.”

The Bigger Picture

If sustained, India’s pivot may accelerate two parallel dynamics:

• A Western-led tightening of global finance through sanctions and compliance systems.

• A BRICS-led counterstructure, forced to innovate faster — potentially via digital settlement rails, gold-backed trade credits, or regional clearinghouses.

Both trends feed into what analysts describe as the early stages of a financial system reset — one where energy flows dictate monetary architecture more than ever.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes

30+ Countries Join BRICS Gold Rush

Central banks shift reserves from Treasuries to tangible assets — gold hits record highs amid global realignment.

Central Banks Lead the Shift

The global financial landscape is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation.
As gold prices surpassed $4,300 per ounce in mid-October 2025 — their highest level on record — more than 30 nations have accelerated gold purchases, signaling a decisive move away from dollar-denominated reserves.

According to the World Gold Council (WGC) and The Economic Times, central banks now hold approximately 36,344 metric tons of gold, valued around $4.5 trillion — exceeding their combined holdings of U.S. Treasury securities for the first time since 1996.
This symbolic milestone marks a historic rebalancing of global wealth.

“We are witnessing a structural realignment of reserve management,” notes the WGC’s latest quarterly report.

The BRICS Core and Beyond

The BRICS bloc — Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa — holds roughly 20% of global gold reserves, with Russia and China together accounting for nearly three-quarters of the group’s total.
These two nations alone control more than 4,600 tonnes, underscoring their central role in the de-dollarization movement.

Beyond the core bloc, more than 30 other countries have joined the gold accumulation trend:

Poland added nearly 90 tonnes in 2024, reaching over 500 tonnes in 2025, leading global central bank purchases.

China’s reserves rose to about 2,294 tonnes by April 2025 after 18 months of consecutive buying.

Kazakhstan reversed prior sales, adding nearly 25 tonnes in 2025.

Azerbaijan’s State Oil Fund (SOFAZ) expanded holdings by 18.7 tonnes in Q1 2025.


Smaller accumulators — Egypt, Kyrgyz Republic, Qatar, Oman — each added between 1–4 tonnes in 2025, diversifying beyond traditional assets.

Gold’s Record-Breaking Run

Gold’s rally has been one of the most dramatic since 1979.
The metal crossed $4,000 per ounce on October 8, and by October 17, hit an intraday high of $4,310, according to Reuters.

Year-to-date, gold has gained over 55%, outperforming equities, oil, and most sovereign debt indices.

Analysts link this momentum to a combination of:

• Lower real yields as the Federal Reserve signals rate cuts below 4%.

• Persistent inflation concerns and geopolitical fragmentation.

• Central bank diversification from “sanction-vulnerable” reserves to physical assets.

Strategic Motives: Security Over Liquidity

The BRICS gold accumulation accelerated after Western nations froze an estimated $300 billion in Russian reserves in 2022.
This event exposed the vulnerability of digital reserves and foreign-held assets.
Unlike currency reserves, gold stored domestically cannot be sanctioned or seized, making it an appealing hedge for emerging economies seeking monetary autonomy.

Meanwhile, China’s Cross-Border Interbank Payment System (CIPS) — an alternative to SWIFT — now includes 1,421 banks in 110 countries, supporting the idea of a multi-polar financial network and potentially paving the way for a gold-backed settlement mechanism within BRICS trade channels.

A Long-Term Structural Shift

The ongoing reserve restructuring signals a deep and likely irreversible trend:

• Central banks have purchased over 1,000 tonnes annually for three consecutive years — twice the decade average.

• The value of official gold holdings now exceeds the combined U.S. Treasury exposure in central bank portfolios.

• Gold-backed ETFs have added over 600 tonnes in 2025, with inflows exceeding $30 billion in Q1 alone.

Analysts describe this not as a temporary rally but a “structural realignment of global reserves.”

Implications: Toward a Parallel Monetary Order

This gold-driven reserve expansion dovetails with the BRICS agenda to build alternative financial frameworks independent of Western clearing systems.
While a full “gold-backed BRICS currency” remains speculative, the underlying behavior — sovereigns accumulating hard assets — demonstrates a gradual pivot from trust-based finance to asset-backed credibility.

The implications are sweeping:

• The U.S. dollar’s dominance in global settlements may gradually erode.

• Emerging economies gain stronger negotiating leverage within trade and credit systems.

• Gold re-emerges as both a political and monetary tool — not just a commodity hedge.

The Bottom Line

As the world’s monetary map redraws itself, the BRICS gold rush is less about speculation and more about sovereignty and control.
From Warsaw to Beijing, the signal is unmistakable: hard assets are once again the foundation of power.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.
