Clare: S&P affirms Iraq's credit rating with a stable outlook

2/7/2026 - Baghdad

Standard & Poor's (S&P) credit rating agency has affirmed Iraq's credit rating at B-/B with a stable outlook.

The government has focused on rebuilding infrastructure, improving public services, and pushing forward economic reforms, supported by international partnerships aimed at promoting sustainable development and human capital development.

The World Bank noted that Iraq’s oil-based growth model has been a major source of economic instability, limiting its ability to achieve stable growth and sustainable development. Continued reliance on oil revenues makes the Iraqi economy more vulnerable to risks amid the accelerating global shift towards reducing carbon emissions.

The bank explained that Iraq is among the countries most exposed to the effects and shocks of climate change, both in terms of physical risks, such as rising temperatures, water scarcity and extreme weather events, and in terms of financial vulnerabilities that exacerbate these challenges. LINK

Clare: Trade Bank of Iraq: Plan to increase the number of branches to 70

2/6/2026 – Baghdad:

The Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) announced on Friday a plan to increase its number of branches to 70.
TBI Chairman Bilal al-Hamdani stated, according to the official news agency, that "the bank has prepared a plan to increase the number of its branches over the next five years, aiming to reach more than 70 branches within Iraq." He explained that "the opening of new branches necessitates securing staff and funding."

He also noted that "the bank is currently working on opening branches outside Iraq, including in Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, and the United States.

The opening of branches in England and Brazil is pending approval from the bank's board of directors," adding that "these countries have existing business dealings with Iraq."
He confirmed that "a branch in Saudi Arabia will be opened next June." LINK

Bruce [via WiserNow] We're hearing that one of the redemption leaders we talked to says we are right at the tip of this. We are right there now... it's good to hear that we're right there at the edge of this...

Mnt Goat The problem arises with Iran and it has been all about Iran all along and their corruption schemes to control the Iraq economy for their own benefit. This has stalled this currency reform process to the end stages that we now await...Iraq entered this critical stage of successful reforms and on the edge of the next stage, which included the reinstatement. Yes it was targeted for last month...The election process appears to be on hold. We await some news any day now... This situation could change on a dime and most probably we will wake up some morning and it will be over, for the good of Iraq. 

Jeff Article: "The US State Department told Shafaq News: We will use all our tools to prevent Maliki's return" This is a distraction... They're trying to show and portray instability so you and I don't know when the rate's going to change. It's all this this. If you're not a sharp analytical thinker, it's going to make you mad and upset you, which when they first came out talking about Maliki going in there, it made everybody mad. They succeeded. They did their job. It's nothing more than a distraction.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

ECB EXPANDS EURO LIQUIDITY ACCESS — A NEW FRONT IN GLOBAL CURRENCY COMPETITION

Europe opens its monetary umbrella wider, challenging dollar hegemony and reshaping reserve dynamics

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

ECB EXPANDS EURO LIQUIDITY ACCESS — A NEW FRONT IN GLOBAL CURRENCY COMPETITION

Europe opens its monetary umbrella wider, challenging dollar hegemony and reshaping reserve dynamics

Overview

In a major shift with global-system implications, the European Central Bank (ECB) is expanding access to its euro liquidity facilities, making emergency euro funding cheaper and simpler for foreign central banks. The initiative forms part of a broader EU strategy to boost the euro’s global use, deepen geopolitical partnerships, and address doubts about U.S. monetary leadership. The move comes amid persistent concerns over dollar volatility and a multipolar reserve currency landscape.

Key Developments

Euro Liquidity Safety Net Expanded
The ECB is broadening access to its Eurep liquidity facility, allowing more non-euro-area central banks to borrow euros with eased terms — including lower rates and higher caps — during market stress. This is part of an EU strategy to build economic alliances and promote the euro’s international role.
Strategic Currency Diplomacy
The liquidity expansion isn’t purely technical; it aligns with the EU’s efforts to court geopolitical partners and mitigate reliance on the U.S. dollar. Easier access to euro funding supports use of the euro in trade, finance, and regional liquidity networks.
Broader Euro Policy Initiatives
Euro-zone ministers are reportedly preparing discussions on euro-denominated stablecoins and joint EU debt issuance to further strengthen the currency’s global footprint. These talks reflect an emerging push toward European monetary instruments that can compete with dollar-centered systems.
Market and Geopolitical Context
The move occurs amid mounting concerns about dollar reliability — including policy unpredictability and growing diversification of central bank reserves. Investors are increasing allocations to gold and alternative assets as confidence in the existing fiat hierarchy weakens.

Why It Matters

Reserve Currency Competition: Expanding euro liquidity signals an active challenge to the dollar’s unrivaled position, pushing the global system toward a multipolar reserve currency structure.
Monetary Diplomacy Over Policy Neutrality: Central banks are no longer passive actors; they’re using liquidity access and credit arrangements as strategic tools to bind partners and influence global finance.
Institutional Confidence Shifts: With investors increasingly diversifying into gold and non-dollar assets, the ECB’s moves could entrench these trends and accelerate structural realignment.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Diversification Pressure: As central banks seek alternatives, currency reserve compositions are shifting, potentially weakening traditional dollar dominance and elevating the euro’s relative share.
Strategic Asset Importance: Growing euro liquidity access, emerging stablecoin frameworks, and joint debt issuance discussions may reshape how global capital allocates across fiat currencies and digital monetary instruments.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Monetary Transition Stress
The ECB’s outreach reflects a monetary system under stress: the traditional dollar-centric framework is losing unchallenged control. As central banks seek alternatives and diversify reserves, confidence in long-established monetary hierarchies becomes fragile, accelerating structural transition pressures.

Pillar 2 – Paper vs. Physical Divide
While euro liquidity lines and policy instruments remain rooted in fiat structures, the trend of reserve diversification — including gold accumulation outside dollar assets — underscores the widening gap between paper monetary instruments and perceived tangible stores of value. This dynamic deepens systemic distrust in fiat dominance and reinforces demand for real assets.

Seeds of Wisdom Team View

The ECB’s expansion of euro liquidity access is a quiet revolution in global monetary policy — one that shifts from passive monetary stewardship to assertive currency diplomacy. This isn’t just about easing liquidity during stress; it’s about offering an institutional alternative to the U.S. dollar at a time when confidence in traditional fiat hierarchies is fraying. As reserve diversification intensifies and strategic instruments emerge, the global financial order is tilting toward a more multipolar architecture.

This is not just liquidity policy — it’s a strategic play to elevate the euro as a viable alternative in a fracturing global financial order.

TURKEY REKINDLES PUSH TO JOIN BRICS WITH CHINA’S HELP

Ankara deepens strategic ties with Beijing as part of a multipolar realignment of global alliances

Overview

Turkey has renewed its bid to join the BRICS bloc, actively seeking China’s diplomatic support to secure full membership at the 2026 summit. Although its 2024 application did not result in full accession — with BRICS instead offering “partner country” status — Ankara is intensifying negotiations with Beijing and other members to break the current impasse. This effort comes as the bloc continues to expand and as emerging powers seek alternatives to Western-centric structures.

Key Developments

Diplomacy with BRICS Members
Turkey’s Ambassador to China is now holding talks in Beijing to strengthen Ankara’s bid for full BRICS membership, reflecting a strategic outreach to one of the bloc’s largest and most influential members.
Partner Country Status as Transitional Step
BRICS has previously offered Turkey “partner country” status, which may serve as a pathway to full membership — though Ankara has not publicly confirmed acceptance.
Geopolitical Balancing Act
Turkey maintains complex ties with Western institutions (like NATO and the EU) while seeking to deepen economic and political cooperation with China, Russia, and other BRICS members — a multifaceted approach that reflects Ankara’s pursuit of strategic autonomy.
Pakistan and Other Aspirants
Simultaneously, Pakistan’s desire to join BRICS has been reiterated by its government, highlighting a broader trend of Global South actors seeking inclusion in the bloc.

Why It Matters

Multipolar Shift: Turkey’s BRICS push signals a broader challenge to the traditional Western-led order, reinforcing the bloc’s role as a platform for alternative geopolitical alignments.
Economic Diversification: For Ankara, BRICS engagement represents access to alternative finance mechanisms, trade networks, and infrastructure cooperation beyond EU and Western frameworks.
Consensus Politics: Unlike NATO or the EU, BRICS decisions require unanimous approval, meaning Turkey’s bid — and China’s support — will test internal cohesion and strategic priorities among member states.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

FX & Reserve Diversification: Successful Turkish accession would expand BRICS’ demographic and economic weight — reinforcing its argument for diversified reserves and alternatives to dollar-centric financial arrangements.
Regional Financial Integration: Deepening economic cooperation between Turkey and BRICS countries may accelerate trade settlement in local currencies, influencing long-term currency substitution trends.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Monetary Transition Stress
Turkey’s bid to join BRICS exemplifies how middle powers are responding to stress in the existing monetary landscape — seeking alliances that may offer alternatives to traditional dollar-centric systems. This momentum suggests growing institutional competition between Western financial orders and emerging multipolar networks.

Pillar 2 – Paper vs. Physical Divide
The BRICS expansion debate highlights systemic friction between established fiat currency networks and emerging blocs that emphasize trade, infrastructure financing, and alternative reserve arrangements. Turkey’s pivot illustrates how nations are weighing strategic economic autonomy over entrenched financial dependencies.

Seeds of Wisdom Team View

Turkey’s renewed BRICS membership effort — backed by sustained engagement with China and broader BRICS members — is not merely diplomatic theatre. It reflects a strategic rebalancing in global governance and economic architecture. As Ankara moves to diversify alliances beyond Western institutions, its entry into BRICS would be a symbolic and practical milestone in the ongoing shift toward a multipolar global system.

This may not just be geopolitical posturing — it’s a deliberate pivot toward alternative economic and political networks that could reshape post-Western order dynamics.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:
• No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents. Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

More Than 1.2 Million Tons... Remarkable Growth In Non-Oil Trade Between Iran And The Kurdistan Region

Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The border crossings in the Kurdistan Region recorded a remarkable increase in non-oil trade with Iran, with exports coming from the Iranian Kurdistan province through these crossings reaching about 1.27 million tons, with a total value of $643 million.

Customs data indicated that the volume of goods imported through border crossings linked to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq reached approximately 217,000 tons, with an estimated value of $650 million, reflecting the growing land trade between the two sides.

The Kurdistan Region has several official border crossings with Iran, most notably the Haji Omran crossing located northeast of Erbil Governorate, opposite the Iranian Tamarjin (Piranshahr) crossing, and the Bashmakh crossing in Penjwen District of Sulaymaniyah Governorate, which is adjacent to Kurdistan Governorate in Iran.

The Bashmakh border crossing is one of the most prominent crossings linking Iraq, via the Kurdistan Region, with Iran, and it plays an important role in supporting trade and the flow of non-oil goods between the two countries. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65423

Iraq Faces A Crucial Economic Test: Customs Tariffs Caught Between The Flames Of Protests And The Option Of Reform.

Economy News – Baghdad Amid a volatile economic climate and increasing pressure on the local market, Iraq has entered a new phase of trade and economic tension with the General Authority of Customs announcing the implementation of the new customs tariff starting from the beginning of 2026, at a rate of 15% on luxury goods.

This move, which came under the slogan of "regulating trade and supporting the national product," sparked mixed reactions, which quickly turned into field protests and calls for a general strike, amid warnings of its repercussions on the Iraqi economy, traders, and consumers alike.

Earlier, the Director General of the Authority, Thamer Qasim Dawood, explained that the decision excludes basic and essential goods that affect the lives of citizens, noting that new fees were imposed that also included the automotive sector, through the mandatory application of Iraqi specifications to imported goods, and the imposition of fees on hybrid cars for the first time.

The amendments also included unifying the rates of fees on medicines and medical supplies at 5%, imposing a new tax at a similar rate on gold, in addition to adopting the electronic “ASYCUDA” system as a tool for collecting tax deposits and regulating import operations.

In contrast, the Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, believes that these measures—despite their difficulty—fall within the realm of financial and economic reform. He argues that they represent an attempt to reduce trade distortions, combat fraud and manipulation, protect external transfer channels from financial corruption, and support local production.

Saleh added during his interview with “Al-Eqtisad News” that these steps also contribute to maintaining the integrity of external transfer routes and reducing financial corruption phenomena, adding that the customs tariff came based on an economic policy reading of the country’s financial reality, and on orientations aimed at supporting the national product and regulating foreign trade, and that this option falls within the sovereign discretionary powers of economic policy.

He explained that imposing this tariff aims to achieve a delicate balance between maximizing public revenues on the one hand and maintaining economic stability and preventing market imbalances on the other, stressing that the success of these measures remains linked to the ability of the market and economic actors to gradually adapt to them.

The debate didn't stop at the government's explanation; it extended to the voices of experts and market players. Economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi warned that implementing the ASYCUDA system in conjunction with increased customs duties led to a sharp decline in trade volume and a drop in state customs revenues equivalent to 71 billion dinars in just one month.

He also pointed to the direct impact of these measures on more than one million traders and about 350,000 commercial establishments, which are now suffering from a slowdown in the movement of goods and the accumulation of containers in the country’s ports, especially in the port of Umm Qasr.

The crisis reached its peak with the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce announcing a complete closure of markets starting Sunday, February 2, 2026, in protest against what it described as the "excessive customs burden," demanding urgent government intervention to mitigate economic damage and expedite customs clearance procedures.

A few days ago, the General Authority of Customs in the Ministry of Finance issued a directive to adopt a reduction rate of 25% on the average import values recorded in the ASYCUDA system.

Over the past month, Iraq has witnessed angry demonstrations in several provinces, protesting the decision to impose new taxes and fees, and to apply customs tariffs to imported goods. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65418

Customs Denies "Unprecedented Increase": Current Tariff Conforms To International Standards; Traders Threaten Strike

Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The director of the Iraqi Customs Authority, Thamer Qasim, confirmed on Saturday that the customs tariff currently in place is based on international standards, and there is no such thing as an "unprecedented increase" in the tariff.

Qasim said, "The General Authority of Customs is an executive body to implement the decisions issued by the government, and it has completed all procedures and implemented the ASYCUDA system and applied the Customs Tariff Law and the classification of goods based on type."

He explained that "some traders see an increase because the trader used to rely on a fixed fee, and this is not internationally acceptable. Today, we have adopted international standards, procedures, and demarcation as is the case in neighboring countries."

Qassem pointed out that there is no such thing as an "unprecedented increase in customs tariffs," but rather it is a departure from the fixed fee and the adoption of a system of tariffs on goods and merchandise.

He explained that "the customs tariff on cars exists, and the exemption was only on hybrid cars, and customs duties were imposed on the import of hybrids, and this exists and is approved in neighboring countries and regional countries."

Traders, who called for a general strike at all customs outlets, described the increase in tariffs and additional fees as an outrageous rise that will negatively affect trade and local markets. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65425

Iraq Ranks Seventeenth Globally On The List Of Countries With The Cheapest Gasoline Prices.

Economy News – Baghdad The Eco Iraq Observatory announced that Iraq ranks seventeenth globally on the list of countries with the cheapest gasoline prices. While revealing a government trend to increase the prices of oil derivatives in order to maximize state revenues, it warned of the repercussions of this step due to the direct economic damage it may cause to citizens and market activity.

The observatory said in a statement received by "Al-Eqtisad News" that "cars in Iraq consume about one billion liters of gasoline of various types every month, as well as similar quantities of gas oil."

He pointed out that “Iraq ranks seventeenth globally in terms of the cheapest fuel prices, with the price of a liter of gasoline being about $0.649, while the global average is $1.30 per liter,” indicating that “the government’s direction is towards raising prices under the pretext of the high cost of local production, as well as seeking to maximize the revenues of the state, which is suffering from a deficit.”

The observatory added that "the potential increase will include all products, including gasoline, gas oil, kerosene, jet fuel, and fuel oil."

The observatory strongly criticized this move, considering that it “will lead to higher transportation, production and service costs, and its direct impact on the prices of basic commodities, as well as putting pressure on citizens’ purchasing power and slowing down market activity.”

The observatory also warned that "raising fuel prices could exacerbate inflation rates and negatively affect commercial and industrial activity," calling on the government to carefully study financial alternatives and not impose additional burdens on citizens in light of the current economic conditions. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65417

IQD Back to 1310, No Word from Parliament on Maliki yet

Edu Matrix: 2-6-2026

As I sit down to write this blog post, I’m drawing from a recent video update from a traveler currently exploring the Middle East, specifically Iraq and Egypt.

The insights shared in this video offer a candid and personal look at the region, touching on the intricate web of political, economic, and cultural observations that define this fascinating yet challenging part of the world.

IQD Back to 1310, No Word from Parliament on Maliki yet

Edu Matrix: 2-6-2026

As I sit down to write this blog post, I’m drawing from a recent video update from a traveler currently exploring the Middle East, specifically Iraq and Egypt.

One of the most striking aspects of the video is the traveler’s concern over the uncertain political landscape in Iraq. The potential reappointment of Nouri al-Maliki as Prime Minister has sparked worries about its implications on U.S.-Iraq relations and regional stability.

This development is not just a local issue; it has far-reaching consequences that could affect the broader Middle East and beyond. The uncertainty surrounding such political decisions can significantly impact the lives of locals and travelers alike, influencing everything from day-to-day security to long-term economic prospects.

The traveler’s observations on the cancellation of many flights in the Middle East are particularly noteworthy. These cancellations are not just a minor inconvenience; they significantly affect travel plans, forcing a reevaluation of itineraries and accommodations to manage both safety concerns and budget constraints.

For anyone traveling in or through the region, such disruptions can be a considerable challenge, requiring flexibility and a readiness to adapt to changing circumstances.

Beyond the political landscape, the video provides valuable economic insights, highlighting fluctuations in currency and precious metals. The Iraqi dinar’s recovery against the U.S. dollar is an interesting development, suggesting a degree of economic resilience in the face of political uncertainty.

Similarly, the steady performance of the Vietnamese dong and Argentine peso offers a broader perspective on global economic trends, indicating that stability is not confined to traditional economic powerhouses.

The discussion on gold and silver underscores their strong yet volatile status, a characteristic that has long defined these precious metals. Investors and travelers alike keep a close eye on these markets, as they can be both a safe haven and a source of risk.

Perhaps most intriguing is the sharp decline in Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency that has been notable for its unpredictability. The lack of a clear cause for this decline serves as a cautionary note to investors, highlighting the inherent risks in the rapidly evolving world of digital currencies.

What sets this video apart is its blend of geopolitical analysis, economic insights, and personal travel reflections. The traveler’s experiences offer a nuanced perspective on the complexities of living and traveling in the Middle East during times of political uncertainty. It’s a reminder that behind every headline and economic indicator, there are real people navigating the challenges and opportunities presented by their surroundings.

Traveling through the Middle East today is an exercise in navigating complexity. The region is a mosaic of political, economic, and cultural elements, each influencing the others in intricate ways.

For travelers, locals, and observers alike, staying informed and adaptable is key to understanding and engaging with this dynamic part of the world. As we continue to watch developments in the region, the blend of analysis, insight, and personal reflection offered by travelers on the ground will remain invaluable, providing a window into the realities of life in the Middle East.

JACKPOT

The Silver Warrior has the key now, not the banks, not Wall Street, not the Fed. The key represents access. Authority. The ability to unlock what’s been hidden for decades.

Front and center you see America’s Hidden Wealth and that $210 trillion number. That’s not debt. That’s value.

Notice what happens when the lever is pulled, the redeemable assets light up starting with silver, gold, energy, land, infrastructure, real commodities. No paper. No IOUs. Just real assets balancing the system back out.

Silver isn’t random either. It’s always been the people’s money. It bridges the physical world and modern systems. That’s why the warrior is silver-clad.

Deuteronomy 8:18;
It says God gives the power to get wealth, not to worship it, but to restore order and establish truth.

This isn’t about creating a new system.
It’s about unlocking what was already there.

The vault was never empty, it was locked.
And now the key has changed hands.

U.S. and EU Accelerate Critical Minerals Stockpiling

Strategic resources replace free-market assumptions

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. and EU Accelerate Critical Minerals Stockpiling

Strategic resources replace free-market assumptions

Overview

The United States and European Union have accelerated coordinated efforts to stockpile critical minerals essential for defense systems, clean energy technologies, and advanced manufacturing. This marks a strategic shift away from just-in-time global supply chains toward national and bloc-level resource security.

Key Developments

The U.S. launched Project Vault, a multibillion-dollar initiative to secure critical mineral reserves.
EU nations including France, Germany, and Italy are leading coordinated stockpiling efforts.
Policies aim to reduce dependency on Chinese supply chains for rare earths and battery materials.
Governments are treating minerals as strategic assets rather than market commodities.

Why It Matters

Control over critical minerals now underpins industrial capacity, military readiness, and energy transition goals. Stockpiling reflects a structural shift toward economic nationalism and strategic planning.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

As minerals become strategic reserves, currencies linked to resource security gain long-term relevance.
Reserve diversification weakens single-currency dominance, supporting multipolar trade settlement and regional monetary blocs.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Supply Chain Sovereignty
Resource control replaces globalization assumptions with strategic stockpiling and domestic resilience.

Pillar 2 – Bloc Economics
Allied nations coordinate reserves, reinforcing bloc-based trade and financial systems.

In the new economy, resources are power — not just commodities.

Bank of England Holds Rates as Markets Reprice the Future

Monetary caution signals turning point

Overview

The Bank of England voted narrowly to hold interest rates steady, triggering immediate market reactions and reinforcing expectations of rate cuts later this year. The decision highlights growing concerns about slowing growth and softening inflation across major economies.

Key Developments

The Monetary Policy Committee voted 5–4 to hold rates unchanged.
Sterling weakened following the announcement as markets priced in future cuts.
UK gilt yields declined, reflecting shifting investor expectations.
Policymakers acknowledged rising downside risks to economic growth.

Why It Matters

Central bank caution signals the end of aggressive tightening cycles. As monetary policy pivots, capital flows, currencies, and asset valuations adjust globally.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Interest-rate divergence weakens currency stability and increases demand for diversification.
Reserve diversification weakens single-currency dominance, reinforcing hedging into alternative stores of value.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Monetary Transition
Rate-holding and future easing reflect structural limits of debt-driven economies.

Pillar 2 – Capital Reallocation
Shifting yield expectations accelerate movement into hard assets, emerging markets, and non-traditional reserves.

BRICS Intra-Bloc Trade Surpasses US$1.2 Trillion as Global Commerce Shifts

Verified data confirms accelerating BRICS trade integration and multipolar realignment

Overview

Verified international trade data confirms that intra-BRICS trade exports exceeded US$1.2 trillion by 2024, reflecting a sustained and measurable expansion of economic integration among BRICS nations. While some reports have overstated recent milestones, authoritative sources such as UNCTAD show that BRICS trade growth is real, structural, and accelerating—reshaping global commerce patterns as emerging economies deepen cooperation outside traditional Western-centric systems.

Key Developments

1. Intra-BRICS Trade Exceeds US$1.2 Trillion
According to the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), exports traded within BRICS countries rose from just US$84 billion in 2003 to approximately US$1.2 trillion by 2024, marking one of the most significant long-term trade integration trends in the global economy.

2. BRICS Nations Account for a Major Share of Global Trade
Official BRICS data shows member nations now represent roughly 26% of global goods trade, with combined exports nearing US$6 trillion in recent reporting periods. This growth reflects expanding South-South trade relationships and reduced dependence on traditional trans-Atlantic trade corridors.

3. China, India, and Russia Drive Trade Momentum
China remains the dominant exporter within BRICS, while India’s total external trade exceeded US$800 billion, and Russia’s bilateral trade with China surpassed US$200 billion annually. These trade corridors form the backbone of BRICS economic integration.

4. Expansion Strengthens Trade Networks
The inclusion of newer members such as UAE, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Saudi Arabia has expanded trade connectivity across energy, manufacturing, logistics, and commodities, reinforcing the bloc’s economic gravity.

Why It Matters

The verified rise in BRICS trade highlights a durable shift toward multipolar commerce:

Trade is increasingly routed through non-Western corridors
Emerging economies are coordinating production and consumption internally
Supply chains are diversifying away from legacy hubs

This is not a short-term surge—it reflects two decades of compounding integration.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

As BRICS trade volumes grow internally, local-currency settlements and bilateral trade agreements gain traction. While the US dollar remains dominant globally, expanding intra-BRICS trade reduces exclusive reliance on dollar-based settlement systems over time and introduces incremental pressure on legacy reserve structures.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Multipolar Trade Architecture

BRICS trade growth confirms the emergence of parallel trade ecosystems that operate alongside—rather than beneath—Western frameworks.

Pillar 2: Economic Sovereignty

Deeper intra-bloc trade enhances national policy flexibility, reduces exposure to external shocks, and supports long-term financial independence for participating nations.

This is not speculation — it is a data-verified structural transition.

This is not just trade — it is global economic re-balancing in motion.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different: • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents. Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Tishwash: Indonesia's historic growth exceeds expectations amid geopolitical challenges and currency pressures

According to official figures released on Thursday, the Indonesian economy experienced a strong recovery in 2025, becoming the largest economy in Southeast Asia with a growth rate of 5.11 percent, surpassing the previous year's performance and achieving the fastest annual growth rate since 2022, thanks to a combination of strong consumer spending and massive investments.

These results were driven primarily by an exceptional performance in the last quarter of the year, which recorded growth of 5.39 percent, exceeding analysts’ expectations of only 5.01 percent, as a result of the financial stimulus packages injected by the government worth more than 16 trillion rupees, which included direct support measures such as rice distribution and tax exemptions for the tourism sector.

Tishwash: Indonesia's historic growth exceeds expectations amid geopolitical challenges and currency pressures

Despite these positive figures, which bolster President Prabowo Subianto's ambitions to achieve 8 percent growth by 2029, the landscape is not without significant challenges, including international trade tensions, US tariffs, and declining foreign investor confidence.

This growth coincided with shifts in fiscal and monetary policy, including a 150-basis-point interest rate cut and a leadership change at the Ministry of Finance, with Purbaya Yodi Sadiwa replacing Sri Mulyani Indrawati.

This move triggered market turmoil, leading to capital outflows and a record low for the rupee against the dollar due to concerns about transparency and the budget deficit.

While the government is targeting 5.4 percent growth for 2026, relying on sovereign wealth fund investments and public spending programs, skeptical voices from economists and local research centers are emerging, pointing to a gap between official data and the reality on the ground.

Their doubts are based on contradictory indicators such as declining tax revenues, stagnant foreign investment, falling car sales, and a contraction in industrial activity, in addition to reports of layoffs that may suggest the announced household spending figures are inflated and do not reflect the true economic situation of citizens. link

Tishwash: The Central Bank Governor discusses with the American side support for monetary stability.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Ismail Al-Alaq, received the Chargé d'Affaires of the United States Embassy in Iraq, Mr. Josh Harris. They discussed prospects for strengthening the strategic partnership between the two countries and emphasized the importance of supporting monetary and economic stability, in line with the requirements for political and security stability in Iraq.

For his part, the Governor expressed his gratitude for the continued support provided by the United States, represented by the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve, particularly during the quarterly meetings.

He also reviewed the banking reform plan and the notable progress made in stabilizing foreign exchange transactions and regulating dollar sales according to best practices and international standards.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Mr. Harris expressed his full readiness to continue supporting the efforts of the Central Bank of Iraq, enabling it to achieve its goals in promoting financial and monetary stability.

Tishwash: The general budget law: Can it be issued in the event of a constitutional vacuum?

A financial advisor confirmed that the 2026 budget law can be issued in the event of any constitutional vacuum, after consulting the opinion of the Supreme Federal Court.

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, explained on Thursday that government spending will continue according to the (1/12) rule until the 2026 budget is approved, while noting that the monthly salaries of employees, retirees and welfare amount to 8 trillion dinars.

Continuation of fiscal policy

Saleh said : “The fiscal policy has been carrying out its duties since the second month of this year 2026 in accordance with the provisions of the amended Federal Financial Management Law No. (6) of 2019, by spending at a rate of (1/12) of the actual current public expenditures for the year 2025.”

He explained that “public finances benefit from the provisions of paragraph (29) of the aforementioned law, which allows the financial authority to adopt temporary financing mechanisms and liquidity management in the event that spending cannot be carried out according to the legally legislated regular budget.”

He added that “the aforementioned provisions confirm the principle of temporary financing in the event of a delay in the approval of the budget law or a temporary shortage of liquidity necessary for spending. This allows the Ministry of Finance to take transitional financial measures that ensure the continued disbursement of priority expenditures without delay. Foremost among these are salaries, wages, pensions and social welfare allocations, which are estimated at about eight trillion dinars per month.”

The possibility of issuing the general budget law

Regarding the possibility of legislating the budget law in the event of a failure to elect a president, Saleh explained that “this is a rare occurrence, but it may impose itself due to the necessities of the supreme national interest, especially since the House of Representatives is the constitutional body competent to legislate the budget law. In this context, the possibility of issuing the 2026 budget law can be considered after consulting the opinion of the Supreme Federal Court, as it is a constitutional court specializing in resolving the problems of parliamentary sessions, especially in cases of the complete absence of the president.”

He also pointed out that “the President of the Republic, Abdul Latif Jamal Rashid, and the Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, are still in a position of legal responsibility at the moment, which allows, in principle, the request to prepare a draft of the federal general budget law and submit it to the House of Representatives to begin the legislative process, if the elected legislative authority wishes to do so.” link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Russia’s Economy Enters Stagnation Phase — Strategic Implications Multiply

Sanctions pressure, war spending, and shrinking revenues collide

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Russia’s Economy Enters Stagnation Phase — Strategic Implications Multiply

Sanctions pressure, war spending, and shrinking revenues collide

Overview

Russia’s economy has entered a stagnation phase, according to recent assessments from international institutions and independent analysts. After years of wartime stimulus masking deeper structural weakness, growth is slowing sharply as energy revenues fall, labor shortages intensify, and fiscal strain mounts. This shift carries significant implications for global energy markets, geopolitical leverage, and the broader balance of economic power.

Key Developments

Russia’s GDP growth has slowed to near-zero levels as wartime stimulus loses momentum.
Oil and gas revenues — once accounting for roughly 40% of federal income — have declined to closer to 25%, tightening budget flexibility.
Labor shortages, inflation pressures, and rising corporate bankruptcies are weighing on productivity.
Analysts warn the Kremlin is increasingly relying on reserves and tax hikes to sustain spending.

Why It Matters

Economic stagnation limits Russia’s ability to project power abroad, sustain prolonged conflict, and maintain influence in global energy markets. As growth slows, Moscow’s leverage over trade partners weakens while domestic economic risks rise.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

A weakening Russian economy reduces confidence in commodity-linked trade settlements and exposes vulnerabilities in currencies tied to energy exports.
Reserve diversification weakens single-currency dominance, reinforcing the global shift away from reliance on any one economic power.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 – Financial Realignment
Reduced Russian economic output pressures alternative trade systems and accelerates demand for multipolar settlement frameworks.

Pillar 2 – Geopolitical Rebalancing
Economic stagnation constrains long-term strategic ambitions, reshaping power dynamics across Eurasia and energy markets.

Economic gravity is shifting — and even resource powers are not immune.

Trump Unveils TrumpRx — Government Discount Prescription Drug Website

New federal platform aims to help Americans access lower‑priced medications amid rising healthcare costs

Overview

On February 5, 2026, President Donald Trump officially launched TrumpRx.gov, a new federal website designed to help consumers find and obtain discounted prescription drugs by connecting them with manufacturers’ direct‑to‑consumer purchasing channels and pharmacy discount coupons. Rather than acting as a pharmacy, the site serves as a centralized price‑comparison and discount portal, part of the administration’s broader effort to address high drug costs in the U.S. and ease the financial burden on patients.

What TrumpRx Is and How It Works

Not a direct seller: TrumpRx does not sell medications itself. The platform instead provides links to participating drug manufacturers’ own online ordering systems or offers printable discount coupons that patients can use at pharmacies.
Discount agreements: At launch, more than 40 medications from major pharmaceutical companies — including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk, AstraZeneca, and others — were featured at reduced cash prices negotiated through most‑favored‑nation‑style deals.
Who benefits most: The site is anticipated to be most useful for uninsured or cash‑paying patients, as purchases through TrumpRx normally will not count toward insurance deductibles or out‑of‑pocket maximums for those with coverage.
Medications included: Discounted drugs include diabetes treatments (e.g., Januvia), high‑cost GLP‑1 weight‑loss medications (e.g., Ozempic, Wegovy), fertility treatments, asthma inhalers, and other medicines across multiple therapeutic categories.

Why It Matters

Prescription drug prices in the United States are among the highest in the developed world, imposing significant out‑of‑pocket costs on many Americans — especially those without robust insurance. TrumpRx aims to:

Increase transparency around drug pricing
Offer alternatives to traditional pharmacy pricing
Provide tangible savings for some high‑cost, brand‑name medications
Exert pricing pressure on pharmaceutical manufacturers by spotlighting lower cash‑pay prices through federal negotiation leverage

The initiative is part of a broader political and policy push by the administration to show concrete action on cost‑of‑living issues as healthcare affordability remains a key concern for many voters.

Context and Debate

Although the TrumpRx launch has drawn praise from supporters who view it as a step toward lowering drug costs, critics and some health policy experts warn that:

The benefits may be limited for insured patients, since savings through the portal may not apply to insurance claims or be factored into annual deductibles.
Price reductions offered on the site may mirror existing manufacturer discounts available elsewhere, meaning some savings may not be unique to the portal itself.
Long‑term structural reform — such as changes to drug rebate rules, patent law, or insurance‑based pricing mechanisms — remains unresolved.

Still, supporters see TrumpRx as a symbolic and practical policy tool toward greater drug price transparency, and a potential model for future legislative reforms.

Why It Matters to Consumers

Uninsured patients now have a centralized platform to compare drug prices.
Patients with high drug costs may find significant savings on certain expensive prescriptions.
Transparency increases price competition between drug manufacturers and pharmacies, potentially improving affordability.

Implications for U.S. Healthcare Policy

TrumpRx represents a federal attempt to influence pricing behavior in the pharmaceutical marketplace without sweeping legislative changes. Its real‑world impact will depend on consumer adoption, manufacturer participation, and how insurers respond.

This is not just a technical website launch — it’s a high‑profile federal effort to reshape aspects of the U.S. prescription pricing ecosystem.

BRICS vs G7: Trade and Economic Influence in a Shifting Global Order

Emerging markets close the gap with advanced economies as global trade patterns evolve

Overview

Over the past two decades, BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and expanding members like UAE, Iran and Egypt) have steadily increased their share of global economic output and trade — narrowing the historical gap with the Group of Seven (G7) advanced economies. Official data and respected economic reports show that while the G7 still leads in nominal trade volumes and GDP, BRICS economies are growing faster, capturing a rising share of global merchandise exports, and moving toward potential parity in key metrics within the next few years.

Trade Shares: BRICS Catching Up With G7

According to an Ernst & Young (EY) India report, the BRICS+ group’s share of global merchandise exports rose from about 10.7% in 2000 to 23.3% in 2023, while the G7 share declined from 45.1% to 28.9% over the same period. Projections suggested BRICS+ could overtake the G7’s export share by 2026 if trends continue.
By 2024, broader analyses show that BRICS export volumes approached parity with G7 countries, accounting for roughly 28% of world exports versus about 32% for the G7 — a historic narrowing of the trade share gap.

Drivers of the Shift

China’s dominance in manufacturing and export capacity — contributing a large share of BRICS trade volume — is a principal factor in the bloc’s rising global trade influence.
India’s expanding export base and younger, rapidly urbanizing population support broadening BRICS economic clout.
Newer members such as UAE, Indonesia, Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia further expand the bloc’s global trade footprint and diversify export bases across energy, agriculture, technology and manufacturing.

Comparative Economic Indicators

Trade is only one dimension of global economic influence. Broader structural data also shows key pattern shifts:

BRICS countries have increased their share of global GDP on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis, overtaking the G7 bloc as early as 2018 and widening the lead in subsequent years.
Despite gains in aggregate GDP and trade, BRICS economies still lag behind the G7 on a per‑capita income basis, reflecting differing stages of development.

Why It Matters

Global Trade Architecture

The gradual rise of BRICS export share and narrowing of G7 dominance reflect long‑term structural change in global commerce. Expanding trade among emerging markets and with the wider world is transforming global supply chains and reducing dependency on traditional Western trade hubs.

Multipolar Economic Power

As BRICS nations grow their share of trade and GDP, policymakers and investors increasingly view global economic power as multipolar rather than Western‑centric. This shift influences currency demand, investment patterns, development financing, and geopolitical alignments.

Monetary & Trade Policy Impacts

The evolving balance between BRICS and G7 affects:

How governments negotiate trade agreements
Strategic priorities in export diversification
Long‑term forecasts for infrastructure and industry development

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Redefined Trade Leadership:
The narrowing trade share gap marks a move toward distributed economic leadership, reducing overconcentration of global trade influence in any single bloc.

Pillar 2 — Emerging Market Ascendancy:
BRICS’ growth demonstrates the expanding role of developing economies in setting global commerce and investment norms — a central theme in the global reset narrative.

This shift isn’t overnight — it’s a multi‑decade realignment of where economic activity flows and who writes the rules of global trade.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 2-6-26

Government Advisor: All Salaries And Pensions Are Fully Secured And The Financial Situation Is Stable.

Economy News – Baghdad The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Friday that all salaries are secured and the financial situation is stable, while explaining that the delay in salaries is due to temporary procedures for disbursement mechanisms and financial timings.

Government Advisor: All Salaries And Pensions Are Fully Secured And The Financial Situation Is Stable.

According to the official agency, Saleh said that “any limited delay that may occur in the disbursement of salaries is not in itself a financial crisis, nor does it reflect a shortage of resources or a breach of obligations, but rather it is due to temporary organizational and procedural considerations related to disbursement mechanisms and the management of financial timings.”

He affirmed that “salaries, pensions, and social welfare allowances are fully secured within the approved financial framework,” noting that “regular disbursement is the general rule, with the possibility of limited time differences in some exceptional cases, without this affecting financial stability or the ability to meet entitlements.”

Saleh stressed that "the financial situation is stable, and liquidity management will continue in a way that ensures the sustainability of public spending and protects the incomes of employees, retirees and social welfare beneficiaries, while working to reduce any delays to the lowest possible level, within the priorities of spending in public finance." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65384

The Dollar Jumps Near Its Highest Level And Is On Track For Its Strongest Weekly Performance In Months.

Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up The dollar reached near a two-week high on Friday and is on track for its strongest weekly performance since November after a stock sell-off due to concerns about artificial intelligence spending rattled investors, while the yen rose ahead of Sunday's national elections.

The dollar has been rising since US President Donald Trump nominated Kevin Warsh to head the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) last week. Markets expect him to be less aggressive in lowering interest rates, easing some concerns about the central bank's independence.

The sharp decline in technology stocks this week comes as investors worry about massive spending on artificial intelligence, as well as the ripple effect of rapidly evolving AI tools that could turn various sectors upside down.

Investors' appetite for risk aversion provided support for the dollar despite a decline in U.S. Treasury yields after economic data pointed to a weaker-than-expected labor market, ahead of the highly anticipated January jobs report.

The dollar index, which measures the performance of the US currency against six other currencies, reached 97.961, hovering near its highest level since January 23. The index is on track for a 1 percent gain this week, its biggest weekly rise since mid-November.

The yen rose to 156.74 ahead of the national elections to be held early next week, which Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is likely to win.

The euro reached $1.1784 after the European Central Bank left interest rates unchanged as expected on Thursday, and downplayed the impact of dollar movements on its future decisions.

The British pound suffered sharp losses and settled at $1.3520 after falling by about one percent in the previous session.

The Bank of England kept interest rates unchanged on Thursday, after an unexpectedly close vote of five to four.

In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin rose 1.5 percent to $64,158 in volatile trading. The cryptocurrency had earlier hit its lowest level since October 2024 at $60,017. It is on track for a 16 percent weekly decline, its biggest drop since November 2022. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65375

Iraq Jumps In Global Gold Reserve Rankings

Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The latest official global gold reserves data for February 2026 showed that Iraq increased its reserves of the yellow metal to more than 174 tons, which contributed to its advancement to 28th place globally after it was in 29th place.

According to the data, Iraq’s gold reserves reached 174.6 tons, up from 170.9 tons in the previous month, representing 24.6% of the country’s total foreign currency reserves, indicating a growing reliance on the precious metal as a hedging tool and a support for monetary stability.

The United States topped the list with a reserve of 8,133 tons, followed by Germany with 3,350 tons, then Italy in third place with 2,451 tons, France in fourth place with 2,437 tons, while Russia came in fifth with a reserve of 2,326 tons.

Saudi Arabia topped the list of Arab countries with a reserve of 323 tons, followed by Lebanon with 286 tons, while Iraq came in third among Arab countries with a reserve of 174.6 tons, ahead of a number of other Arab countries.

The council added that Iraq bought one ton of gold in March 2025, 1.6 tons in June, 3.1 tons in July, 2.5 tons in August, and 3.8 tons in October 2025.

It is worth noting that the World Gold Council, which is based in the United Kingdom, includes the world’s largest gold mining companies and has extensive experience in analyzing market trends and factors affecting the price of the precious metal. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65363

The United States Urges Its Citizens To Leave Iran "Now".

Arabic and international Economy News - Follow-up The "virtual" US embassy in Tehran has asked American citizens to leave Iran immediately. In a "security alert" published Friday, the embassy urged American citizens to "leave Iran now" and prepare exit plans that do not rely on assistance from the U.S. government.

The statement warned American citizens in Iran of the risks of "continued heightened security measures, road closures, disruption of public transportation, internet shutdowns, and the Iranian government's continued restrictions on access to national mobile, fixed-line, and internet networks, as well as airlines reducing or canceling flights to and from Iran."

The statement said that "American citizens should expect continued internet outages, plan for alternative means of communication, and, if safe, consider leaving Iran by land to Armenia or Türkiye."

This comes as the United States and Iran hold negotiations in Muscat in an attempt to reduce tensions in relations between the two countries, amid a massive buildup of US forces in the region and Washington's threats to strike Iran if it refuses to make a deal on its nuclear and missile program and its regional policies. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65377

Minister Of Resources: Groundwater Is A National Treasure, And Fines Will Be Imposed For Drilling Wells Without Permits.

Economy News – Baghdad The Ministry of Water Resources confirmed on Friday that it has imposed large financial penalties on those who dig wells without obtaining official approvals, while noting that there is strict governance in place to manage this issue.

Minister of Water Resources, Aoun Diab, said that "the ministry is dealing very cautiously with the groundwater issue and does not support expanding its use," stressing "the existence of strict governance for managing this vital resource."

He explained that "drilling wells is prohibited without the approval of the Ministry of Water Resources, including private wells," noting that "violators are subject to large financial penalties in addition to the filling in of the violating well."

He added that "groundwater represents an important national resource, and preserving it is a national responsibility," noting that "some neighboring countries, including Saudi Arabia, have suffered from the depletion of groundwater as a result of excessive use, which has caused them major problems."

He added that "the Ministry of Water Resources is giving this file great attention, and insists on managing groundwater in a rational and balanced manner, in order to ensure its sustainability for the longest possible period and to extend the life of water reservoirs for future generations." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=65382

India’s 400-Airport Push by 2047 Boosts BRICS Global South Connectivity

Major aviation infrastructure vision aligns with India’s BRICS presidency and regional integration goals

Overview

India has unveiled an ambitious aviation expansion roadmap targeting over 400 airports by 2047, a dramatic increase from around 160 airports today. Announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Wings India 2026 summit, the initiative aims to widen regional connectivity, support economic development, and position India — and by extension the BRICS bloc — as a central hub for Global South cooperation and infrastructure integration.

Key Developments

1. Ambitious Airport Network Expansion
Prime Minister Modi outlined India’s long-term plan to expand its airport network from just over 160 today to more than 400 by 2047. The expansion is part of a broader vision to democratize air travel, enhance accessibility for Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, and foster economic opportunity across the country.

2. Historical Growth and Strategic Goals
India’s aviation sector has seen rapid growth over the last decade — from 70 airports in 2014 to over 160 today — driven by policy initiatives like the UDAN regional connectivity scheme. The next phase of expansion is designed to sustain this momentum and deepen domestic and international air links.

3. Global South and BRICS Connectivity Implications
Officials tied this infrastructure agenda to India’s 2026 BRICS presidency, positioning enhanced air networks as a vehicle for South-South cooperation, tourism growth, and increased trade connectivity. While the primary expansion is a domestic program, its strategic resonance with BRICS goals reflects India’s intent to strengthen infrastructure ties across developing economies.

4. Sustainable Aviation Fuel & Green Aviation Agenda
India is also pursuing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) development to support greener air transport. Industry reports show India is planning SAF production scale-ups that align with national decarbonization and aviation growth objectives — potentially reducing emissions and import dependency over time.

Why It Matters

The aviation network expansion underpins several structural trends relevant to global economic realignment and the broader global reset:

Infrastructure as Growth Engine: Air connectivity expands market reach, facilitates commerce, and accelerates mobility across regions that have been historically under-served.
Regional Leadership: India’s move signals emerging economies’ willingness to build parallel physical and economic infrastructure, complementing financial and trade alternatives within frameworks like BRICS.
Strategic Integration: Enhanced connectivity supports tourism, commerce, and supply chains — enabling deeper integration among Global South nations.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Expanding India’s aviation network can influence capital flows, currency demand, and investment decisions:

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in airports, airlines, and ancillary services may rise.
Commercial transactions across borders could increasingly use local contracts supported by robust physical connectivity.
Tourism and business travel growth has multiplier effects on currency circulation in emerging markets.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Infrastructure Sovereignty:
Physical connectivity is as important as financial and digital infrastructure in reducing dependence on traditional Western-centric systems.

Pillar 2 — South-South Integration:
India’s aviation roadmap reinforces multilateral cooperation among developing economies, deepening interdependence outside U.S.–European networks.

This isn’t just an airport plan — it’s a strategic runway for a more connected Global South.

Japan Political Stability Seen as Supportive for Yen and Bonds

Election outcome may anchor global capital flows

Overview

Analysts say a decisive electoral win for Japan’s leadership could provide support for Japanese bonds and the yen, reinforcing stability in one of the world’s most important financial anchor nations.

Key Developments

Japan’s ruling party expected to secure a strong mandate.
Markets see continuity as positive for bond yields and currency stability.
Japan remains the world’s largest foreign creditor nation.

Why It Matters

Japan’s financial stability underpins global liquidity, carry trades, and reserve allocations. Political continuity reduces uncertainty during a time of widespread global transition.
