Tishwash: The Iraqi parliament sets April 11 as the date for holding a session to elect the president of the republic.
The Iraqi parliament's presidency announced on Monday that April 11th has been set as the date for a session to elect the president of the republic.
The Presidency of the Council stated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that it “held an expanded meeting with the heads of the parliamentary blocs to discuss a number of important files related to the work of the Council, most notably the discussion of a number of important laws that will be included on the agendas of the Council’s sessions during the coming period, as well as completing the vote on the Council’s standing committees.”
She added: "The meeting also discussed at length the issue of electing the President of the Republic, and the importance of proceeding with this constitutional entitlement and ending the political deadlock in light of the security and economic conditions that the country is suffering from."
According to the statement, the Speaker of Parliament decided to "set Saturday, April 11, as the date for holding a session to elect the President of the Republic," calling on the leaders of the political blocs to "assume their responsibilities in completing the constitutional requirements and forming a government capable of facing the challenges."
The Presidency of the House of Representatives held a consultative meeting yesterday, Sunday, in which it discussed the ongoing preparations to set a date for a session to elect the new President of the Republic of Iraq during this week in order to end the current political deadlock and proceed with the formation of the next government.
This comes as 220 members of the Iraqi parliament submitted a list of their names and signatures to the parliament's leadership, demanding that a session be held next Monday to elect the president of the republic.
The coordinating framework that brings together the ruling Shiite political forces in Iraq agreed to postpone deciding on a prime ministerial candidate until after the end of the ongoing regional war between the United States and Israel against Iran, according to a political source who spoke to Shafaq News Agency earlier.
The Coordination Framework had officially nominated Maliki on January 24, a move that opened the door to negotiations to form the new government, but the process faltered as disagreements continued over the election of the President of the Republic, the constitutional entitlement that precedes assigning the candidate of the largest bloc to form the government. link

Tishwash: Economic expert: A Hong Kong company has submitted a proposal to Iraq to extend two oil pipelines towards Jordan and Turkey.
Economic expert Nabil Al-Marsoumi revealed that Iraq has received an offer to construct oil pipelines from the Hong Kong-based company Heritage Funds LPF.
Al-Marsoumi stated in a Facebook post, which was monitored by Iraq Observer, that this company possesses extensive experience in financing government projects and is prepared to implement and finance the construction of an oil and gas pipeline project using an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) model based on barter contracts with a share of crude oil.
He explained that the company submitted its offer to the Iraqi Ministry of Oil to implement the following two projects:
1. A project extending from the port of Basra to the city of Haditha, and from Haditha to Aqaba in Jordan or the port of Latakia on the Mediterranean Sea in Syria.
2. A pipeline extending from the port of Basra to the Turkish border.
Al-Marsoumi did not specify when this offer was submitted or whether it was related to the current crisis.
Iraqi oil production halted after the closure of the Strait of Hormuz due to the ongoing war, and the strait is the main outlet for Iraqi oil exports.
While Iraq exported around four million barrels per day before the war, its exports have now plummeted to just 200,000 barrels per day via the Turkish Ceyhan pipeline and a few thousand more by tanker through Jordan.
Iraq faces complex economic challenges and fears of complete economic paralysis with the cessation of its oil revenues, which constitute more than 95% of the income of this rentier state. link
Tishwash: Capital Intelligence awards an Iraqi bank a global rating for its ability to absorb risks despite challenges.
Capital Intelligence Ratings announced that it has affirmed the National Bank of Iraq’s core financial strength rating at “BB”, along with affirming its long-term and short-term foreign currency ratings at “B”, with a stable outlook.
The bank said in a statement, “These ratings come as part of the periodic annual review conducted by the global rating agency to assess the financial performance of banking institutions.
The rating reflects the strength of the National Bank of Iraq’s financial position and growing operational performance, along with its continued commitment to applying the best international banking standards, which enhances the levels of confidence it enjoys among its customers and partners in the market.”
According to the agency's report, the bank has succeeded in developing its balance sheet and capital base to become the largest bank in the Iraqi private sector, driven by a flexible business model and a banking strategy focused on providing banking services to companies and individuals.
Commenting on this achievement, the Managing Director of the National Bank of Iraq, Ayman Abu Dhaim, said, “The confirmation of our credit ratings by a prestigious global agency like Capital Intelligence, with the highest ratings awarded in the Iraqi market, is a testament to the strength of our financial position and the effectiveness of our expansion strategy.
We are committed to continuing to innovate and apply the best international standards to serve our clients and enhance our role as a key partner in supporting the Iraqi economy, especially with our recent investment in the electronic payment sector, which will reshape the digital banking experience in the country.”
Capital Intelligence praised the bank's high operational efficiency, which maintained the best profitability levels among Iraqi banks. It also noted the bank's commitment to the new capital requirements set by the Central Bank of Iraq, which enhances its ability to absorb risks and continue sustainable growth in a challenging operating environment.
The agency also affirmed the bank’s national ratings in Iraq at “iqA” for the long term and “iqA1” for the short term, with a stable outlook for all ratings.
The National Bank of Iraq’s core financial strength rating and national rating are the highest among Iraqi banks covered by Capital Intelligence, reflecting the bank’s robust financial position and asset quality, along with strong liquidity supported by a growing customer deposit base and high profitability levels. link

Tishwash: Al-Hakim is planning the return of Al-Sudani, and Parliament is ready on Tuesday... Bahaa Al-Araji is very optimistic
The head of the Reconstruction and Development parliamentary bloc, Bahaa al-Araji, revealed on Sunday (March 29, 2029) an intensive political movement led by the Wisdom Movement to reinstate Mohammed Shia al-Sudani for a second term as Prime Minister.
He confirmed that 9 out of 12 forces within the coordination framework support this direction. Al-Araji indicated that the upcoming parliamentary session next Tuesday will witness the achievement of a two-thirds quorum to elect the President of the Republic, considering any further delay to be a “clear violation of the constitution.”
He added that Iraq is exempt from the decision to prevent passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and that Washington informed the Kurdistan Regional Government of the error of its decision to prevent oil exports. Al-Araji also announced that April 8 has been set as the final date for resolving the outstanding entitlements.
The Reconstruction and Development Coalition published, via its Facebook page, a statement by the head of the bloc, Bahaa Al-Araji, which was followed by the 964 Network , in which he revealed that “the two-thirds quorum required to elect the President of the Republic will be achieved in the upcoming parliamentary session on Tuesday, stressing that the opposition does not exceed a minority, foremost among them the “Al-Asas” Coalition, while the Badr Organization and the Victorious and National Approach blocs will be at the forefront of those present.”
Al-Araji explained that “Fuad Hussein requested a postponement of the session, but in his opinion, the current delay constitutes a clear violation of the constitution.”
In the Prime Minister's file, Al-Araji stated that "nine out of twelve forces within the coordination framework support granting Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani a second term, noting that the Wisdom Movement is the owner of this project, and it is supported by the Sadiqun and Badr blocs and the forces of Abu Alaa Al-Walai."
He confirmed that “Nouri al-Maliki pledged to return the position to al-Sudani, and that the decision to withdraw al-Maliki’s nomination was taken implicitly despite the existence of an opposing wing within the State of Law coalition.”
On the security and regional level, Al-Araji praised Al-Sudani’s success in “keeping Iraq away from the war that Israel is trying to drag it into,” stressing that “the authority to declare war is limited to the Commander-in-Chief and Parliament, and that the decision to defend oneself belongs to the Popular Mobilization Forces alone.”
Al-Araji described the targeting of the army in Habbaniyah as an unintentional mistake, while he considered the bombing of Nechirvan Barzani’s house as a blatant attempt to incite strife.
Regarding the international scene, Al-Araji criticized the policies of the Trump administration, describing the decision to assassinate Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyid Ali Khamenei as a “foolish decision,” stressing that “Iraq is exempt from the decision to prevent passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and that Washington informed the Kurdistan Regional Government of the error of its decision to prevent oil exports.”
In a subsequent post on the “X” platform, Al-Araji said, “With a firm will and sincere parliamentary efforts, today we reaped the fruits of diligent work by setting April 8 as the final date for resolving the stalled entitlements.”
He added, “This achievement would not have seen the light of day were it not for the insistence on breaking the deadlock and moving towards forming a fully empowered government capable of confronting the grave challenges facing Iraq.” link

Hormuz Shipping Breakthrough: Chinese Vessels Signal Partial Reopening of Critical Trade Corridor
The successful transit of Chinese container ships through the Strait of Hormuz highlights a tentative shift in one of the world’s most vital energy and trade chokepoints.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Hormuz Shipping Breakthrough: Chinese Vessels Signal Partial Reopening of Critical Trade Corridor
The successful transit of Chinese container ships through the Strait of Hormuz highlights a tentative shift in one of the world’s most vital energy and trade chokepoints.
OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)
Two Chinese-owned container ships successfully transited the Strait of Hormuz, marking one of the first successful passages of major container vessels since the conflict severely restricted shipping activity in the region. The ships, operated by China’s state-linked shipping sector, had previously attempted and turned back, underscoring the difficulty of navigating the corridor during heightened tensions.
This development comes amid an ongoing regional conflict that has disrupted one of the most critical global trade routes, particularly for oil and liquefied natural gas flows. The Strait of Hormuz handles a significant portion of global energy shipments, making any disruption a major concern for markets and policymakers.
The successful passage suggests a possible, limited reopening under controlled or selective conditions, particularly for nations viewed as non-hostile in the current geopolitical environment. However, overall shipping activity remains significantly reduced, and risk levels remain elevated.
At the system level, this event signals that global trade flows are beginning to adapt rather than fully normalize, with selective access, rerouting, and geopolitical alignment shaping movement through key corridors.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. Chinese Container Ships Complete Successful Transit
Two vessels linked to China completed passage through the Strait after earlier failed attempts.
Marks one of the first successful container ship transits since restrictions intensified
Demonstrates improved, but still fragile, navigation conditions
2. Previous Attempts Highlight Elevated Risk
The same ships had previously turned back, reflecting ongoing instability.
Shipping companies remain cautious amid security concerns
Risk assessments continue to drive route delays and diversions
3. Strait of Hormuz Remains a Critical Bottleneck
The waterway is central to global energy and trade flows.
Handles a large share of global oil and gas shipments
Disruptions create immediate ripple effects across markets
4. Selective Access Reflects Geopolitical Alignment
Transit appears influenced by political positioning in the conflict.
Certain nations may receive preferential or safer passage conditions
Signals a shift toward fragmented, politically influenced trade routes
WHY IT MATTERS
The partial return of container traffic through the Strait of Hormuz signals a potential easing of one of the most critical supply chain disruptions, but not a full recovery. Markets must now interpret whether this represents a temporary opening or the beginning of sustained normalization.
Energy markets remain highly sensitive to developments in the region, as any disruption or reopening directly impacts global oil pricing, inflation expectations, and supply stability.
From a policy perspective, governments and institutions are being forced to adapt to a more volatile and politically influenced trade environment, where access to key routes cannot be assumed.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
Currency value: Stability in energy flows supports oil-linked and trade-sensitive currencies
Purchasing power: Reduced disruption may ease inflation pressure tied to energy costs
Capital flows: Investors may cautiously return to previously avoided regions or sectors
Exchange rates: Ongoing uncertainty keeps currency volatility elevated
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
Pillar 1: Strategic Control of Trade Corridors
The Strait of Hormuz situation highlights how geopolitical control over key chokepoints is becoming a defining feature of global finance. Access to trade routes is no longer purely economic—it is increasingly strategic and conditional.
Pillar 2: Fragmentation of Global Trade Systems
Selective transit and rerouting reflect a broader shift toward a fragmented global trade network, where political alignment influences logistics. This represents a systemic departure from open, predictable trade flows toward a more controlled and regionally segmented model.
CONCLUSION
The successful transit of Chinese container ships through the Strait of Hormuz is a notable signal of adaptation within a disrupted global system. While it does not indicate full normalization, it demonstrates that critical trade routes are beginning to function under new constraints.
This moment reflects a broader transformation where global trade is no longer frictionless, but negotiated and conditional, shaped by geopolitical realities rather than purely economic demand.
As markets and policymakers respond, the focus will remain on whether this development represents a turning point or a temporary exception in an increasingly complex global landscape.
Control of trade routes is no longer assumed—it is becoming one of the defining levers of global financial power.

The Canary In The Coal Mine In The Treasury’s God-Awful Annual Report
The Canary In The Coal Mine In The Treasury’s God-Awful Annual Report
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 25, 2026
A few days ago, the United States Treasury Department quietly published the “Financial Report of the United States Government for fiscal year 2025”. No press conference. No prime-time coverage. Just a PDF uploaded to a government website. It is, arguably, the most important financial document published in the country each year— the government's own accounting of what it owns versus what it owes.
The Canary In The Coal Mine In The Treasury’s God-Awful Annual Report
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) March 25, 2026
A few days ago, the United States Treasury Department quietly published the “Financial Report of the United States Government for fiscal year 2025”. No press conference. No prime-time coverage. Just a PDF uploaded to a government website. It is, arguably, the most important financial document published in the country each year— the government's own accounting of what it owns versus what it owes.
And the numbers are devastating.
The bottom line is that the government is reporting assets of $6 trillion, versus liabilities of nearly $48 trillion.
That gives it a “net worth” of NEGATIVE $42 trillion, which is the worst financial position on record.
Now, in fairness— and I've pointed this out before— governmental accounting is not always grounded in the real world.
The report, for example, places no value on the potential trillions (if not tens of trillions) of dollars' worth of natural resources in the ground. And it assigns relatively little value to other hard assets like real estate.
But there's no sugar-coating it. The fiscal situation is absolutely atrocious, and it gets worse every year.
The good news may be that the people in charge at least seem to understand this; Treasury Secretary Bessent acknowledges in his introduction that the situation is bad and that it needs to be improved quickly.
He writes, "Getting our fiscal house in order is not only an economic imperative, it is also essential to preserving the strength and credibility of the United States at home and abroad."
And he discusses how they'd like to do it — through "reining in government spending and growing the economy," through deregulation, as well as "energy abundance."
Hallelujah. That is the exact formula to fix this looming fiscal crisis.
For the Treasury Secretary to even admit this is borderline unprecedented.
I've read through the Treasury Secretary's introduction to these annual financial reports going back a couple of decades.
In 2002, for example, Secretary John Snow (who clearly knows nothing) wrote a very bland intro letter about accounting rules, with no acknowledgment of mounting military spending or the recession.
By 2007, Secretary Hank Paulson was beaming about how great the economy was, with no mention unsustainable discretionary spending— and this was only months before the entire financial system nearly collapsed.
In 2014, Secretary Jack Lew bragged about a slight decline in the budget deficit, even as the national debt was spiraling out of control.
And by 2023, Janet Yellen took a victory lap about how white-hot her economy was, completely ignoring the skyrocketing national debt and inflation fueled by COVID-era deficit spending.
This current report is the first time I've seen a Treasury Secretary seriously acknowledge the problem.
The obvious question then, is, having correctly identified both the problem and the solution, are they actually going to be able to execute?
I certainly hope so. Unfortunately many of the things he mentions, like tax reform, regulatory reform, and spending discipline, fall exclusively under the authority of Congress. And the majority of those 435 people are unserious about spending cuts.
There are a few things that the administration can execute on its own. Energy policy is one of them, and as we've said before, they have done quite a bit to boost nuclear energy.
Obviously a lot is riding on what happens with Iran when it comes to oil. A peace deal could potentially drive more foreign investment into US Treasuries, which would result in lower interest rates and lower inflation— and buy America time to restore its fiscal responsibility.
But it could also go the other way and drastically erode confidence in the United States.
So we're really at a tipping point right now.
If Iran ends poorly, we could likely see foreign countries avoiding US Treasuries— putting more pressure on the Federal Reserve to ‘print’ money to finance the deficit. That would end up generating a lot more inflation.
The bigger problem is that Social Security is set to run out of money in six years. So, if Iran ends poorly and there’s no serious fiscal reform, I think that 6-year window is when the US would see major economic consequences.
One canary in the coal mine is rising interest rates. Right in front of our eyes, the 10-year and 30-year Treasury yields have been rising to near their highest levels in twenty years.
This is the opposite of what's supposed to happen.
In the past, during times of crisis (including war), the world rushed into US Treasury bonds as the “risk free” asset. And yields plummeted due to the surge in demand.
Now it’s the opposite. Since the war began a few weeks ago, the 10-year yield has gone from 3.97% to 4.39%. Yields are up, not down. That’s the opposite of what normally happens in a crisis.
The jury is still out, and I sincerely hope they’re able to conclude a great deal.
But if confidence continues to erode and yields keep rising, the Federal Reserve will be under enormous pressure to step in with a new Quantitative Easing program. In other words, they’ll ‘print’ money to buy US government bonds and finance the deficit.
And as we saw during the pandemic, when the Fed created roughly $5 trillion out of thin air, that led to 9% inflation.
Bottom line, it’s definitely time to be thinking about a Plan B.
To your freedom, James Hickman Co-Founder, Schiff Sovereign LLC
PS- If you have little confidence in the government solving these problems, the sensible response is to prepare.
That means owning real assets whose value doesn't depend on the government's promises.
It means not keeping all of your savings in a single currency, in a single country, under the jurisdiction of a single government.
And it means having a real Plan B — a second residency or citizenship, a foreign bank account, a legal structure that gives you options if things deteriorate faster than expected.
We cover these strategies in depth in our Plan B Confidential research— step-by-step guidance on how to diversify internationally, protect your wealth across borders, and build the kind of optionality that lets you sleep at night regardless of what happens next.

The Presidency of the House of Representatives held a consultative meeting today, Sunday, to discuss the ongoing preparations for setting a date for a session to elect the new President of the Republic of Iraq during this week in order to end the current political deadlock and proceed with the formation of the next government.
In this regard, a parliamentary source told Shafaq News Agency that after this meeting ends, the Presidency will hold another meeting this afternoon with the heads of the political blocs to discuss the seriousness of their intention to hold a session to elect the President of the Republic.
He stressed that achieving the legal quorum for holding this session requires the presence of more than 220 deputies, which is two-thirds of the members of parliament, and suggested that those meeting would agree to hold it tomorrow, Monday, or on another day during this week.
The First Deputy Speaker of Parliament, Adnan Faihan al-Dulaimi, announced yesterday, Saturday, that the Parliament’s leadership is seeking to hold an “important” meeting with the heads of political blocs during this week to discuss reaching an agreement on setting a date for holding a session to elect the President of the Republic.

Steve This is all the research I personally have done. Do your own research. Make sure you're looking at the banks in your area. I advise exchanging with the 4 bigger banks here in the US. I also did some research on Lloyd's of London because I've had a few people in the UK asking me about bank transactions there. Also Scotia Bank, RNC Bank for my Canadian people...Chase bank has a 3% foreign transaction fee. Some banks have a separate...spread fee. Truth is we're not going to know until the event happens...[and] we walk in the bank...This is where we're all going to have to do our own research. My idea is to negotiate with different banks to see if one bank is charging a certain fee and another bank is charging less of a fee...Banks make money by lending your money out. Banks are a business. Banks want your money. And for dinar holders, if you have a significant amount of dinar and your dinar is now worth millions or tens of millions of dollars, a lot of banks might be willing to wave these fees entirely. [Post 1 of 2]
Steve 3% fee might not sound like a lot but when you start talking about large sums of money, it adds up very very quickly. Just taking a few hours to do some research before this event takes place, you might be saving yourself a lot of money in the long run. So Chase charges 3%. They said for premium accounts some fees might be waved...Bank of America also charges a 3% foreign transaction fee...They did say there is an exchange rate markup of 5% to 6%...That seems pretty significant to me...Wells Fargo, they charge 3%. They might have certain markup or exchange fees...CitiBank charges 3%. So most banks charge 3%...Lloyd's Bank didn't give me an exact transaction fee...It varies by account. I'm assuming if you have more money to exchange they might be willing to negotiate...Royal Bank of Canada...2.5% to 3% fee on foreign currency. Scotia Bank 2.5% to 3% as well...Doing your homework before hand puts you in a dominant... confident position to know exactly who you're going to once the dinar does revaluate. [Post 2 of 2]

Phil Low, founder of The Bitter Draught, returns to discuss why recent price action in gold and silver may be misleading investors during rising global tensions.
He explains how paper markets, debt structures, and liquidity stress can temporarily suppress precious metals even as systemic risks grow.
Low outlines a potential “endgame” scenario where deflationary pressure gives way to aggressive money printing and currency instability.
He also warns that physical supply shortages and premium spikes could expose deeper cracks in the financial system.
Finally, he shares his outlook on what a post-crisis economy could look like and the role of real assets in rebuilding it.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
GLOBAL POLICY SIGNALS SHIFT: CENTRAL BANKS AND ENERGY MARKETS DRIVE SYSTEM-LEVEL UNCERTAINTY
Fresh economic signals, policy positioning, and energy market movements point to growing pressure within the global financial system.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
GLOBAL POLICY SIGNALS SHIFT: CENTRAL BANKS AND ENERGY MARKETS DRIVE SYSTEM-LEVEL UNCERTAINTY
Fresh economic signals, policy positioning, and energy market movements point to growing pressure within the global financial system.
OVERVIEW (KEY POINTS)
Global markets over the past 24 hours have been shaped by renewed central bank signaling, shifting energy dynamics, and uneven economic data, all pointing to a system under increasing strain. Policymakers are navigating a narrow path between controlling inflation and avoiding economic slowdown.
Recent commentary and data releases suggest that interest rate policy may remain tighter for longer, even as growth indicators soften. This creates a policy tension between stability and expansion, especially across major economies.
At the same time, energy markets are reacting to geopolitical and supply concerns, reinforcing volatility in oil pricing and contributing to inflation persistence. This dynamic continues to ripple across currencies, trade balances, and capital flows.
The broader implication is clear: the global financial system is not stabilizing—it is adjusting, with multiple pressure points emerging simultaneously across policy, energy, and growth.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. Central Banks Signal Prolonged Tight Policy
Monetary authorities are reinforcing a “higher for longer” stance, emphasizing the need to contain inflation despite slowing growth.
Rate cuts appear delayed, reducing liquidity expectations
Markets are repricing risk assets and borrowing costs
2. Energy Market Volatility Returns
Oil prices are reacting to supply concerns and geopolitical uncertainty, pushing volatility higher.
Rising energy costs risk feeding back into inflation
Import-dependent economies face renewed pressure on trade balances
3. Mixed Economic Data Signals Fragility
Recent data reflects a split global picture, with some resilience but increasing signs of slowdown.
Manufacturing and consumer indicators show uneven performance
Growth expectations remain uncertain and regionally divergent
4. Currency Markets Adjust to Policy Divergence
Foreign exchange markets are responding to interest rate differentials and capital flow shifts.
Stronger currencies tied to higher-yield environments
Weaker currencies reflect economic softness and policy constraints
WHY IT MATTERS
The convergence of tight monetary policy, volatile energy prices, and uneven growth creates a complex environment for the global economy. Markets must now operate under reduced liquidity and higher borrowing costs, which can dampen investment and expansion.
Policy decisions are becoming more constrained, as central banks attempt to balance inflation control with financial stability. This increases the risk of policy missteps or delayed responses.
At the system level, these developments reinforce a broader shift toward fragmentation and regional divergence, rather than synchronized global growth.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
Currency value: Interest rate differentials are driving currency strength disparities
Purchasing power: Persistent inflation and energy costs erode real value across currencies
Capital flows: Investors are shifting toward higher-yield and safer markets
Exchange rates: Increased volatility creates short-term risk and long-term repositioning
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
Pillar 1: Monetary Policy Realignment
The persistence of tight monetary conditions signals a structural shift away from easy money policies. This transition is redefining how capital is allocated globally and forcing economies to adapt to higher-cost financial environments.
Pillar 2: Energy and Economic Power Redistribution
Energy volatility and supply dynamics are accelerating a rebalancing of global economic influence. Countries with resource control or diversified supply chains are gaining leverage, while others face increased vulnerability and dependency.
CONCLUSION
The latest developments highlight a system that is not in crisis, but clearly under pressure. Central banks, markets, and governments are all adjusting to a new reality where stability is harder to maintain and growth is less predictable.
What we are witnessing is a gradual but meaningful shift in global financial dynamics, driven by policy constraints, resource competition, and structural imbalances.
This is not a temporary phase—it is part of a broader transformation shaping the future of the global economy.
The system is not breaking—it is recalibrating in real time.

🌱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.

Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Monday Morning 3-30-26
Israel Approves A Record Budget Of Approximately $271 Billion
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up The Israeli Knesset on Monday approved the largest budget in Israel’s history, worth 850.6 billion shekels (about $271 billion), in a crucial vote that averted early elections that would have been imposed if it had not been approved before the legal deadline.
Israel Approves A Record Budget Of Approximately $271 Billion
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up The Israeli Knesset on Monday approved the largest budget in Israel’s history, worth 850.6 billion shekels (about $271 billion), in a crucial vote that averted early elections that would have been imposed if it had not been approved before the legal deadline.
The vote passed by a majority of 62 to 55, after a marathon session that lasted more than 13 hours and was repeatedly interrupted by Iranian missile sirens, sometimes forcing MPs to vote from fortified rooms.
The budget saw an unprecedented increase in defense allocations, reaching 143 billion shekels, along with billions allocated to educational institutions as part of the ruling coalition's priorities, including an additional 800 million shekels, according to the Times of Israel.
Meanwhile, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich described the budget as "taking care of everyone and supporting the economy in times of war."
In contrast, opposition leader Yair Lapid attacked the budget, calling it "the biggest theft in the history of the state," amid widespread criticism of the sudden amendments and increased funding for the Haredim despite the controversy over their exemption from military conscription.https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=67304
Iraq Is Losing About $11 Million A Month Due To The Suspension Of Air Traffic.
Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The Echo Iraq Observatory announced on Monday that Iraq is losing about $360,000 a day as a result of the suspension of flights through its airspace, which is equivalent to $10.8 million a month, amid the repercussions of the ongoing war in the region.
The observatory explained that before the outbreak of the war, Iraqi airspace witnessed the passage of about 800 aircraft daily, both local and foreign, which is higher than the previous rates that ranged between 700 and 750 aircraft daily.
He added that the fees for a single aircraft crossing Iraqi airspace amounted to about $450, which provided daily revenues estimated at $360,000.
The observatory noted that the suspension of air traffic came after the Ministry of Transport announced, on February 28, the closure of Iraqi airspace due to security developments in the region.https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=67310
Eurozone Bonds Are Nearing Their Worst Monthly Performance In A Decade.
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up Eurozone government bonds are on track to record one of their worst months in the past decade, driven by inflation fears stemming from rising oil and gas prices due to the war with Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
Italy’s 10-year borrowing costs rose to 4.14%, their highest level since mid-2024, while French 10-year bond yields touched 3.9%, the highest since 2009, and Spanish yields rose to 3.7% for the first time since late 2023.
Fund managers believe that rising long-term bond yields are exacerbated by the expected impact on public finances resulting from higher borrowing costs and measures aimed at protecting consumers from rising prices.
Investors are betting that the European Central Bank will raise interest rates three times this year to contain an expected wave of inflation.https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=67314
Bloomberg Reveals The Extent Of The Impact Of The Strait Of Hormuz Closure On Oil Flows
Money and Business Bloomberg News reported on Sunday the extent of the impact of the Strait of Hormuz closure on global oil flows. Citing data, Bloomberg stated, "The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has reduced global oil flows by approximately 11 million barrels per day."
It added, "The fuel supply shortage has created a gap of nearly 9 million barrels per day, exceeding the total consumption of several European countries."
Tensions are escalating in the vital Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world's oil supply passes, amidst the ongoing conflict between Iran and the US-Israeli alliance.
Since February 28, 2016, the United States and Israel have been waging a large-scale military campaign against Iran, resulting in the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and dozens of other commanders. The conflict has been marked by continued exchanges of missile and drone strikes, further escalating tensions in the region.https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=67289

The Biggest GOLD Reset Yet AHEAD
The Biggest GOLD Reset Yet AHEAD
Dalio Mindsset: 3-28-2026
In this video, I walk through the mechanism behind gold's 21% decline from its $5,596 all-time high to $4,428 today — a decline driven not just by dollar strength and rising yields, but by a second force that almost nobody explained to regular investors: central bank margin calls.
Turkey sold and swapped 60 tonnes of gold worth $8 billion in two weeks to defend the lira after the Iran war drove oil above $100 and destroyed its dollar inflows.
The Biggest GOLD Reset Yet AHEAD
Dalio Mindsset: 3-28-2026
In this video, I walk through the mechanism behind gold's 21% decline from its $5,596 all-time high to $4,428 today — a decline driven not just by dollar strength and rising yields, but by a second force that almost nobody explained to regular investors: central bank margin calls.
Turkey sold and swapped 60 tonnes of gold worth $8 billion in two weeks to defend the lira after the Iran war drove oil above $100 and destroyed its dollar inflows.
Russia has been selling since 2025 to fund war expenditures.
Poland is considering monetizing 550 tonnes for defense spending.
China paused in Q4 2025.
India turned net seller in January.
I explain the bathtub mechanism — how currency pegs work, why energy-importing nations with dollar pegs are forced to sell gold when oil spikes cut their dollar inflows, and why this is a margin call at the sovereign level, not a strategic change in gold's role as a reserve asset.
I walk through the three-phase playbook: the forced liquidation phase we are in now, the stabilization phase that begins when oil moderates and lira pressure diminishes, and the structural re-entry phase when the central banks that sold begin rebuilding — into a market where the reset has already occurred.
With Russia's gold export ban taking effect April 2026 removing a current seller from the market permanently, and with JP Morgan's $6,300 year-end target and $8,000 decade-end target intact, the structural case has not changed. The price has. Those are different things.

Oil Chokepoint Crisis: Strait of Hormuz Talks Signal Urgent Push to Stabilize Global Energy Flows
Regional powers move quickly to reopen one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes as geopolitical tensions threaten energy markets.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Oil Chokepoint Crisis: Strait of Hormuz Talks Signal Urgent Push to Stabilize Global Energy Flows
Regional powers move quickly to reopen one of the world’s most critical shipping lanes as geopolitical tensions threaten energy markets.
Overview
A high-stakes diplomatic push is underway as Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia coordinate efforts to address disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for global oil and gas shipments.
With shipping flows partially halted due to ongoing conflict involving Iran, the urgency to restore stability has intensified amid rising oil prices and global supply concerns.
Key Developments
1. Regional Coalition Forms to Address Shipping Crisis
Pakistan hosted emergency talks with Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia, signaling a coordinated regional response to the escalating situation.
Discussions focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring the safe passage of energy shipments critical to global markets.
2. Strategic Proposals Sent to the United States
Participants developed proposals for the U.S. that include structured maritime transit systems, potentially modeled after Suez Canal-style fee mechanisms.
This reflects a shift toward managed access and shared oversight of critical trade routes.
3. Consortium Model Emerges for Energy Flow Management
Talks included the idea of forming a multi-nation consortium involving Turkey, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia to coordinate and manage oil transportation flows.
Pakistan has been invited to participate, highlighting a move toward regional control of strategic infrastructure.
4. Diplomatic Channels Remain Active Despite Conflict
Pakistan’s leadership has maintained direct communication with U.S. officials, while Turkey continues pushing for a ceasefire framework tied to safe shipping access.
In a positive development, Iran has allowed additional Pakistani-flagged vessels to transit the Strait, suggesting limited cooperation amid tensions.
Why It Matters
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical energy chokepoints in the world, and any disruption has immediate ripple effects across global markets.
Efforts to restore shipping access are not just about logistics—they are about stabilizing energy prices, supply chains, and economic confidence worldwide.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Energy flows directly influence currency strength, inflation, and trade balances.
A prolonged disruption could trigger oil price spikes, impacting major economies and accelerating currency volatility across both developed and emerging markets.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 — Control of Strategic Trade Routes
Nations are increasingly seeking regional oversight of critical infrastructure, reducing reliance on external control mechanisms.Pillar 2 — Energy and Currency Interconnection
Oil flow disruptions reinforce the link between energy security and monetary stability, a key factor in global financial restructuring.
This is not just a conflict — it is a test of who controls the arteries of global trade.
Seeds of Wisdom Team View
This situation highlights a deeper trend: geopolitics and global finance are becoming inseparable.
Control over energy routes like the Strait of Hormuz is evolving into a central pillar of economic influence, shaping not only markets but also future financial systems and alliances.
What we are witnessing is not temporary disruption—it is the strategic repositioning of global power through infrastructure and energy control.

Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 3-29-26
Calls For The Enactment Of The Oil And Gas Law Within A Constitutional Framework
Baghdad: Muhannad Abdul Wahab The passage of the oil and gas law is a pivotal step towards regulating the management of national wealth in Iraq and ensuring a fair distribution of revenues between the federal government and the regions, while preserving the sovereignty of the state and the rights of all Iraqis.
Calls For The Enactment Of The Oil And Gas Law Within A Constitutional Framework
Baghdad: Muhannad Abdul Wahab The passage of the oil and gas law is a pivotal step towards regulating the management of national wealth in Iraq and ensuring a fair distribution of revenues between the federal government and the regions, while preserving the sovereignty of the state and the rights of all Iraqis.
Members of the House of Representatives and legal experts stress the need to establish a robust constitutional framework that ends disputes, enhances transparency, and keeps pace with modern developments in the energy industry, while protecting national resources from waste and mismanagement, thus paving the way for a new phase of wise oil and gas management and promoting national and international investment in this vital sector.
It is worth noting that the House of Representatives, during its session that discussed the repercussions of exporting Iraqi oil, recommended that the next government program should include the enactment of the oil and gas law, and that it should be presented to the House of Representatives in order to begin voting on it.
MP Ahmed Shaheed told Al-Sabah that passing the oil and gas law represents a fundamental step to regulate the management of national wealth between the federal government and the regions, ensuring a fair distribution of revenues and preserving the sovereignty of the state and the rights of all Iraqis.
Shahid called for the swift enactment of the law to provide a fair constitutional framework for Iraqis and to end disputes related to the management of oil wealth, especially between Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region.
He added that "the current stage requires a thorough study of the law's articles and their revision to keep pace with modern changes in the energy industry and global developments in natural resource management, along with a review of oil contracts and agreements to ensure their consistency with the Iraqi constitution and to safeguard national sovereignty over natural resources."
The MP emphasized that "updating the law's provisions must include clear mechanisms for managing oil fields, regulating contracts with international companies, and guaranteeing transparency in revenues, thereby putting an end to the leakage of wealth and the waste of resources, and establishing a new era of sound oil and gas management in Iraq."
For his part, MP Ali Saber told Al-Sabah that “addressing the oil and gas issue in Iraq should not be limited to enacting a law only, but requires an integrated legislative and economic vision that reorganizes the philosophy of managing national wealth in a manner consistent with the constitution and the requirements of modern development.”
He explained that "the current stage calls for a comprehensive review of the legal system regulating the oil sector, through the preparation of specialized parliamentary studies that examine the mechanisms of investment, production and export, in addition to setting clear rules for managing oil revenues in a way that achieves a balance between the federal government and the producing regions and governorates."
Saber pointed out that "updating the legal framework for the oil sector must take into account global shifts in energy markets and adopt the principles of governance and transparency, while developing parliamentary oversight mechanisms to ensure the sound management of natural resources and prevent any waste or misuse of oil wealth."
He added that "developing the oil investment environment is a fundamental factor in strengthening the national economy, as a clear and stable legal framework encourages international companies to expand their investments in oil fields, gas projects, and energy infrastructure. This will positively impact increased production, job creation, and diversification of income sources, thus supporting the long-term stability of the Iraqi economy."
For her part, Dr. Zainab Al-Saadi, a legal expert specializing in constitutional affairs, confirmed in a statement to Al-Sabah that Article 112/First of the Constitution constitutes an explicit legal and constitutional obligation on the federal government, regulating the relationship with the oil-producing regions and governorates.
She explained that "this article gives legal texts binding force to protect the rights of oil-producing entities and ensure a fair distribution of resources, which makes any new agreements unnecessary, whether through temporary budget laws that end with the end of the fiscal year or through political understandings that are not based on a clear constitutional basis."
Al-Saadi added that “adherence to this constitutional framework reinforces the principle of the rule of law and limits any transgressions that may occur as a result of non-binding political understandings or agreements,” stressing that “the constitution has established clear mechanisms to ensure the stability of the relationship between the federal government and the oil-producing regions and governorates, in a way that preserves everyone’s rights and ensures the management of national resources according to sound legal frameworks.”
She noted that "the application of these constitutional provisions represents the cornerstone of any future policies related to oil and resources and prevents legal vacuums or illegal practices that could lead to disputes between the central government and the regions."https://alsabaah.iq/129833-.html
MP: Passing The Oil And Gas Law Will End The Region's "Rebellion" And Guarantee The Rights Of Producing Provinces
Information/Baghdad... Member of Parliament, MP Ahmed Al-Shammari, revealed on Thursday that there is intensive parliamentary activity and a serious parliamentary determination to proceed with approving the oil and gas law that has been stalled for years, indicating that the move comes in conjunction with efforts to form the next government to put a final end to the ongoing oil disputes.
Al-Shammari stated in an interview with Al-Maalouma News Agency that "the oil and gas law has faced deliberate obstruction and numerous obstacles during past parliamentary sessions."
He pointed out that "political forces in the region lacked the genuine desire to enact the law for fear of losing control over the oil sector, which is currently managed outside of central oversight." He emphasized that "the next phase will not allow the continuation of this state of 'oil chaos.'"
He added that "the law will serve as a decisive legal tool to fully control oil revenues and unify their disbursement channels, ensuring transparency and fairness in the distribution of national wealth."
He further explained that "passing the law will directly contribute to ensuring fairness for oil-producing provinces that have long suffered from an imbalance in financial entitlements compared to their production volume."
He clarified that "Parliament is determined to pass the law to assert state authority over sovereign resources," calling on "all political blocs to prioritize the supreme national interest and move away from partisan entrenchments to ensure the law's passage as soon as possible, thus resolving one of the most significant outstanding issues that has resulted in substantial financial losses." The year.https://almaalomah-me.translate.goog/news/127205/economy/نائب-:-اقرار-قانون-النفط-والغاز-سينهي-تمرد-الإقليم-ويضمن-حقو?_x_tr_sl=ar&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc
US Reconsiders Support For Iraq’s PM Amid Iran War
2026-03-29 / Shafaq News- Washington/ Baghdad The United States is reassessing support for Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani as tensions with Iran escalate, casting doubt on his prospects for a second term, the US-based Middle East Forum reported.
According to the outlet, the shift follows Al-Sudani’s alignment with Iran-backed factions. On March 24, he said Iraqi armed groups should respond to attacks on their positions, as groups including Kataib Hezbollah and the Badr Organization targeted US interests.
Iraq’s premiership is decided through negotiations among party leaders, Najaf religious authorities, and external actors, notably Washington and Tehran. However, the current war is shifting that balance, increasing US pressure while reducing Iran’s leverage, as Washington questions Al-Sudani’s reliability and seeks to limit risks to its personnel.
With tensions rising, Iraq faces a leadership test that will shape whether it remains insulated from the conflict or is drawn deeper into it. To continue reading, click here. https://shafaq.com/en/Iraq/US-reconsiders-support-for-Iraq-s-PM-amid-Iran-war

He added that Iraq is dealing with the repercussions of the war within its territory, at a time when the entire region has entered an atmosphere of conflict, stressing that the decision of war and peace is solely in the hands of the Iraqi government, as is the decision to defend the country.
He pointed out that Iraq does not consider itself to be at war with the United States and considers it a friendly country. He also described Iran as a neighboring and friendly country, reiterating his rejection of any attacks on the Gulf states.
He explained that there is ongoing communication with the American side to understand the internal Iraqi situation, with outstanding issues that must be resolved, stressing that no armed faction inside Iraq has the right to carry out attacks against any party, and that Baghdad stands against any aggression against any country.

A: When those conditions truly exist all at once, the change will be civilizational, not merely financial.
Money will stop behaving primarily like a permission slip issued through layered private-credit opacity, and start behaving more like a public measure of accounted value. That is the real hinge. The deepest shift is not “new currency design.” It is the restoration of trust in the measuring stick itself.
Today, most people do not actually trust money in a moral sense. They use it because they must. They trust access to it, liquidity of it, network effects of it, and enforcement around it. That is a VERY different thing from trusting the thing itself.
In this future, trust will migrate away from institutional mystique and toward transparent verification.

THE GREAT DIVIDE
Money that cannot be verified will always require your belief.
Money that can be verified will always earn your trust.
Fiat drifts.
Truth settles.
We now live in a world where value can be measured, transactions can be proven, and systems can be audited in real time.
So ask yourself:
Why would we tolerate a system that asks for trust… when truth can now be proven?
The old system needed your faith.
The new system reveals the truth.
This changes everything in 2026.
Happy Anniversary, Frens.
