The raising of interest rates one more time is on debate.
It is believed that inflation is under control, but there may be one more .25 basis points added to ensure the economy goes in the right direction.
It is too close to call what the Federal Reserve is going to do in the next FOMC meeting.
Either way, it is believed that we are heading in a good direction by the Fed.
Meanwhile, the markets have a different idea on this assessment.

The dollar continues to tick down.
Gold and oil continue to rise.
Artificial Intelligence growth for businesses are beginning to put a squeeze on the human workforce.
The new technological world may be good for the markets, but people are suffering and trying to find ways to adapt to this new world.

The bottom line, the interfacing of quantum computers around the world are beginning to go online.
This is why the debate over stablecoins and deposit tokens are being discussed at this point for payment.
Regulations on digital currency are in the forefront with Congress and rapidly moving into the private sector.
These digital forms of money will increase its velocity and raise its values around the world.
Protocol 20 is the aspect of the banking sector that is beginning to be unlocked. Protocol 20 deals with currency reforms near and abroad.

The Fed is currently transitioning to a new approach.
The move from tightening policies to a pause in those decisions is currently on the table while seeking new directions.
We are moving closer to an inflection point. This is the period of time whereby transitions can take place in an economy.

Iraq is currently involved in banking reforms.
What are Banking Reforms?
Banking reforms have certain objectives to solve:
* chronic nonprofit earning problems
* increase the efficiency, stability, and effectiveness of banks
* and strengthening of the overall health of the public sector banks
These are done so that a country can compete with International Standards.
It looks like "a suitable environment for reentry into the global stage" Iraq talked about years ago is at hand.

By the way, a pause in money-tightening policies gives room for the entrance of new developments (QFS) in the banking system to take place including currencies with new values (Iraq and others). 😉

Today, Speaker McCarthy is heading to Wall Street to discuss the debt ceiling Market Impact.
Both sides have to come up with a way to work with one another, or the markets are in trouble.
Today, the PPI Index is read. "A producer price index is a price index that measures the average changes in prices received by domestic producers for their output. Its importance is being undermined by the steady decline in manufactured goods as a share of spending." Wikipedia
Just in, the PPI is just a little higher than expected. You have to remember. Our markets have recently gone through benchmark revisions.
These revisions are giving the market indicators room to breathe. It is like raising a debt ceiling on the markets to keep them from looking so bad.
From early indicators, it looks like they are trying to find a path forward that will allow them to raise the debt ceiling.
This will give Congress more time to work on currency reforms in the digital and hard currency sectors.
Currently, the Government is taking a hard look at government spending. In some ways, this is just as much a part of currency reforms as well.

Recession Fears Are Back To Haunt The Oil Markets
Today 11:45 Information/Baghdad.. Oil prices fell in early trading Thursday, after rising in the previous two sessions, as investors remained cautious due to persistent concerns about a possible recession in the United States and weak demand for oil.
Brent crude fell 38 cents, or 0.44 percent, to $86.93 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate crude fell 34 cents, or 0.41 percent, to $82.93.
The two benchmarks rose 2% on Wednesday to their highest levels in more than a month, as data showing a slower rise in US inflation spurred hopes that the Federal Reserve (US central bank) would stop raising interest rates.
However, the previous monetary tightening, which saw interest rates raised to their highest levels since 2007, increases concerns that the US central bank's focus on stopping inflation will curb economic growth and future demand for oil in the country that uses it the most in the world.
"The rally ended due to concerns that a possible US recession will weaken demand for crude oil," said Toshitaka Tazawa, an analyst at Fujitomi Securities.
The U.S. consumer price index rose 0.1% last month, less than economists' expectations for a 0.2% increase, and less than the 0.4% rise in February, boosting expectations that the Fed will hold off on raising rates after a possible increase in May.
On Wednesday, markets shrugged off a slight increase in US crude inventories, attributing it in part to a congressional-mandated withdrawal of oil from the US emergency reserve and lower exports at the beginning of the month.
The Energy Information Administration said yesterday that crude inventories rose by 597 thousand barrels last week, compared to analysts' expectations in a Reuters poll, down 600 thousand barrels. Gasoline and distillate inventories fell less than expected.
And the oil market rose two weeks ago after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies such as Russia agreed to reduce production. LINK

Shankali said, in a statement to Al-Maalouma, that "the draft budget law has three issues ahead of it that may take a long time from the discussions, despite the desire of all political forces to speed up its passage."
He added, "The first issue is the disagreement of the political forces regarding preparing and voting on a budget for three years, as some forces reject that paragraph."
He pointed out that "the second issue is related to the deficit, which reached 64 trillion, which constitutes 33% of the size of the budget, and therefore the discussion will intensify in order to reduce it, even if it is a hypothetical deficit. "
Shinkali continued, "The third issue relates to the dispute over the price of a barrel of oil, which was set at $70 a barrel, which some see as a risk and like to reduce it to a lower level, while others see the opposite through the new strategy of OPEC Plus, which reduced oil production in order to maintain a price of more than 90 dollars in the future, “while he indicated that no one can predict a date and time for approving the law.” LINK

Posted On2023-04-13 By Sotaliraq Baghdad / Firas Adnan The House of Representatives is preparing to complete the second reading of the budget in the middle of next week, and deputies confirm that this comes in conjunction with an upcoming meeting that brings together the Finance Committee with Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’a Al-Sudani to listen to his viewpoint on the law and discuss issues described as controversial and contained in the articles, the most prominent of which is related to the size of the amounts and the percentage Disability as well as the period of its validity, whether it is one year or three years.
Representative Adnan Al-Jabri said, "Parliament is currently preparing to start the second reading on the draft budget law."
Al-Jabri continued, "The representatives have a lot of observations that will be made during the presentation of the Finance Committee's report on the law in the second reading."
He did not rule out, “raising additional issues and proposals that were not presented during the discussions in the Finance Committee on the budget.”
Al-Jabri pointed out that «provincial representatives will have clear demands regarding the entitlements of their regions, which is a very normal matter».
Despite his talk about a “comfortable majority to pass this law,” he went back to clarifying that “this will not be in the form currently proposed in Parliament, but after making amendments and including the recommendations of the Finance Committee and the demands of the representatives.”
Al-Jabri pointed out, "The second reading will be completed next week, through the presentation of the Finance Committee's report and its recommendations."
And he believes, "The legislation of the budget law for the current year will be the fastest compared to previous years, given the history of its arrival in Parliament."
Al-Jabri added, "The coming days will witness a meeting between Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a Al-Suadni and the Parliamentary Finance Committee to put some details on the budget and listen to his point of view on some controversial points."
And he stressed, "Developing a budget for three years is a positive matter, because we will reach the middle of the current period, and the budget needs times related to voting, and then approval and publication, leading to the issuance of instructions to facilitate its implementation."
Al-Jabri stressed, "The current budget will be legislated for six months or five months only, which is what made the government send a project for three years in order to ensure the implementation of its ministerial platform."
However, Representative Moeen Al-Kazemi stated that "the trend within the Finance Committee until the present time and Parliament in general is to enact a budget for one year only."
Al-Kazemi added, "The committee held about three meetings during the current week, headed by Deputy Speaker of Parliament Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, and in the presence of the committee's chairman, Atwan Al-Atwani, and his two deputies."
He pointed out, "The members of the committee have completed the review of the 67 articles of the law, and they are in the process of preparing their report in order to present it during the second reading."
And Al-Kadhimi indicated, “The second reading session will take place according to the data available to us in the middle of next week, amid assurances from various political blocs of the need to expedite the approval of this law.”
And he added, "The observations that were recorded are different, but they are concentrated mainly on the increase in the amounts of the law to 200 trillion dinars, and this led to an increase in the planned deficit."
Al-Kazemi agrees with Al-Jabri, that “the coming days may witness a meeting between the Finance Committee and the Prime Minister, in order to listen to his point of view and his observations regarding the articles of the law.”
And he stated, "The discussions will definitely lead us to reduce the budget amounts, and make the deficit in it possible to pay after reducing its amount, through the round for the past two years."
And Al-Kazemi concluded, “The government has, since the current time, ample space to present a draft budget for the next year that can be voted on before the end of the current year if it adheres to the timings of the Financial Management Law, which requires it to submit the project no later than mid-October.”
For his part, Representative Jamal Cougar describes the deficit reported by the government in the draft budget law as unprecedented.
Cougar added, "Iraq has no fears of a deficit for this year in particular, for two reasons. The first is the existence of a surplus estimated at 30 trillion dinars, and the second is that the remainder of the fiscal year is approximately six months after the law's ratification."
He pointed out, "These two factors will put Iraq in front of a big roundabout, since the government cannot spend all the sums mentioned in the law during the remainder of this year."
Cougar pointed out, "The fate of the budget law is to vote on it, because everyone is waiting for it, and the Finance Committee is serious about completing its work on the draft currently presented to it."
And he finds, that “the Financial Management Law when it talked about the possibility of presenting budgets for three years, but this differs from what the government has gone to currently in presenting a single budget for three years.” LINK

They Started Not Thinking About The Dollar.. Thinking Gold..!
April 10 13:46 Sami Jawad Kazem Books / Sami Jawad Kazem
Where does the power of the state lie?
There are several joints that indicate the strength of the state, the most important of which is the economy and the economy is linked to the national currency, the strength of the state when its currency is fixed and is not affected by the events that take place locally or globally, strength when the state has the people's strength if the world is exposed to a crisis, strength when there is no currency market in Al-Kifah Street Shorja and the citizen does not exchange his foreign currency.
Some countries have begun to consult with each other to have their balance of gold instead of the currency of the dollar, and this is a step in the right direction. In the market, its price exceeded 155 thousand, which is the price traded among traders.
It is not right to be associated with any country in a way that affects our economy.
Rather, it is correct to deal with everyone in an exchange of interests.
Yes, globally, Europe began before Asia to get tired of American politics, and
because politics is all hidden, and the hidden, as Kissinger says about it, is that it is not a service association, but a malicious association.
One day you don't think that China or Russia are better than America, because every country has its interests first, so why not our interests first?
Another very important aspect is the culture of the people and to what extent is self-restraint, that is, to be patient with what we have become accustomed to in terms of foreign goods if they are prevented from us, and
when we all enter our markets, they are full of foreign goods and the
local ones do not exceed 10% of the total, so the
blockade is this dirty method What America and those with it are adopting has become a reality, and all countries of the world must develop alternatives.
The Saudi-Iranian relations took a part from this Zionist-American concern, first and secondly, that the American economic weight relies on Saudi oil. If Saudi Arabia says no to the dollar, know that the American economy will collapse.
Do you remember the killing of black George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer?
The reason was that the owner of a supermarket suspected that a twenty-dollar coin was counterfeit.
It means that in America there are those who counterfeit twenty, ten, and even dollars, and this, if it indicates anything, indicates the weakness of the intelligence side. The high level of poverty line.
To the Iraqi government, you have to
strengthen your balance of grain through agriculture, the establishment of
silos, and the
sale of oil for grain and not for dollars, because
we have a balance of these grains that make us not affected if the world is exposed to a crisis.
Of course, this approach does not mean neglecting the rest.
Yes, let the Iraqi banks have all the work Dollar Euro Pound Pound Mark Ruble Gold
It's a sign of strength.
We used to hear and repeat the phrase (agriculture is permanent oil).
Yes, it is like that, and it is the source of strength for any country.
We have an example of the country that exports its agricultural and animal products to us.
Our markets are full of them. Are we unable to do the same?
Iran used the method of self-sufficiency and was able to stand up to the blockade, or was its impact on Iran not to the degree that America wanted?
Yes, the Iranian economy was affected by that, but it preserved its agricultural products that the Iranian citizen could obtain.
When the Qatari-Saudi relations were affected, Iran stood with Qatar and exported various foodstuffs to it, while it is also a besieged country.
From here, the Iraqi government must pay attention to the future.
The dollar is not a sign of strength, but rather a loaf of bread is a sign of power.
When the phenomenon of selling paper in the markets disappears, then the state is strong.

Al-Sorji: Selling Oil Through SOMO Will Achieve Transparency And Generate Large Revenues
Today 09:19 Information / Baghdad...A member of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, Ghiath Al-Sorji, confirmed that
selling oil through the SOMO company will bring large revenues to the country, pointing out that
the regional government sells oil at about $10 less than the market price, in addition to the lack of transparency in this file. Al-Sorji told Al-Maalouma,
"The policy of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, since the extraction and export of oil, stresses the need to export oil through the SOMO Oil Marketing Company, as well as the revenues through the federal government." He added,
"There is a lack of transparency in the export of oil and revenues for selling it across the region, as the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan welcomes the recent decision regarding oil exports, which will be handled by SOMO." And that
"exporting oil through the SOMO company, transparency will be present, and the selling price will differ from what was sold through the region, as
the Kurdistan government was selling oil at less than the market by about $10, and
therefore selling through SOMO will generate additional revenues." ended 25 n

Parliamentary Finance: An Agreement To Diversify Iraq's Revenues And Reduce Dependence On Oil
Today: Information / special. A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Representative Mudar Al-Karawi, confirmed, on Wednesday, that there is an agreement to support an ambitious plan to diversify Iraq’s annual revenues.
Al-Karawi said, in an interview with Al-Maalouma, that
"the survival of oil as a main source for Iraq's budget has become a very dangerous matter, with the repeated deterioration in the global energy market and the fluctuation of its prices from time to time, which constitutes great difficulties in paying financial dues." He added,
"The Finance Committee will begin a realistic study during the coming days of the file of diversifying Iraq's revenues, and
there is an agreement to support this step, especially since we have other important sources, whether crossings or others, that can constitute large numbers in the annual budget." He pointed out that
"reducing the share of oil in the budgets of the coming years is a necessity to create high flexibility in the face of fluctuations in the international crude oil selling price market."
Iraq relies to a large extent on the sale of crude oil to secure its annual revenues and pay salaries and other dues. 25 p.m. ended https://almaalomah.me/news/economy/المالية-النيابية:-اتفاق-على-تنويع-ايرادات-العراق-وخفض-الاعتم

The Sudanese Government Program Is A Transition From Stagnation To Movement
Dr.. Haitham Hamid Mutlaq Al-Mansour After the formation of the new government and its success in maintaining security and social peace and keeping Iraq away from chaos and internal strife, it is once again seeking to impose law, build the state and reform the economy by adopting an approach that targets movement as an alternative to stagnation.
The recent steps taken by His Excellency the Prime Minister, Mr. Mohamed Shia’a Al-Sudani, towards moving the economy out of the stagnation that has accumulated in the short and medium term, especially in the joints of the monetary and financial policy with a vital dimension,
the aim of which was to evaluate the course of management and performance through an economic vision that targets stability and growth, what are There is no clear evidence of the approach through which the government is addressing imbalances and correcting errors.
Therefore, the government has exercised in the aforementioned sectors, since the end of January of this year, its role in supporting stability and curbing inflation in accordance with the financial and monetary measures of the Central Bank to increase the flexibility of supplying the dollar window, whether in banking, by using control tools and internal and external cooperation to combat money laundering activities through The electronic platform and other banking reforms, as well as supportive tax reforms taken by the Ministry of Finance to facilitate import operations and strengthen control at border crossings.
This explains the flexibility that facilitated the movement of external transfers to finance imports and other economic activities and mitigated the sharp rise in the dollar exchange rate.
For one dollar after it crossed the threshold of 1600 dinars much at the time of the crisis, and it is expected that the effectiveness of these procedures and control processes will continue to correct the mistakes of monetary policy that the previous government made, and then reach the exchange rate of the dinar at the target, which is 1350 dinars per dollar, which in turn can achieve Price stability increases the real value of the dinar and keeps economic activity away from the negative effects of high levels of inflation, in the short and medium term.
The government's restoration of its ability to implement the law in many sectors, in addition to the financial and monetary sector, represents a strategic act within the framework of a stable financial climate that promotes investment that leads to stability and stimulates growth,
which are targeted by the government program. Rentier, that phenomenon that works to divert the direction of the output of economic activity out of the economy, which perpetuates the distortion of the growth of national capital in favor of the increasing government fiscal deficit, high pressures on public spending, inflation levels, and the erosion of purchasing power.
Growth and investment, as the import movement is witnessing a significant increase with neighboring countries and others to secure the requirements of life with various goods and services to compensate for the sharp decline in the non-rentier gross domestic product, especially for the private sector at the industrial, agricultural and service levels, whichIt weakens capital accumulation, including the limited funds allocated for investment and its economic ineffectiveness.
Therefore, we believe that the condition of adequacy of the economic program of the current government must proceed from the treatment of the economy's rents and proceed with reforming the imbalance in its general structure, through the development of the real and commodity sector through short-, medium- and long-term industrial, agricultural and commercial policies that seek to reduce imports in favor of subsidizing And stimulating the growth of the productive sector in the various sectors of important projects of public interest, which could be based on development partnership contracts in foreign investment towards many leading countries in this field, such as China, Germany, France, and others. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=33533

Thank you RJ
RJ: Good evening Dinar Recaps,
Goldilocks posted A commentary and link as well as a live blog and more comments:
The Shanghai Exchange upgrade is expected to go through, but complications are also expected.
The concern is over nodes. A node is a computer linked to a cryptocurrency network and may perform certain tasks such as producing, receiving and moving data from one market sector to another.
As with any transition in the crypto space, technicians will run test scenarios over and over to minimize many of these complications.

The upgrade of this Shanghai Exchange on the Ethereum network is expected to create volatility.
\As the system calculates new algorithms, it may take a week or two in finding new norms.
Ethereum smart contracts will be utilized in determining secured funds on both sides of a trade connecting the East and West markets inside a level playing field through artificial intelligence.
Who would have ever thought 10 years ago that the cryptocurrencies we traded at the time would play such a vital role inside the new digital-asset traded financial system.

Did you know?
If you were to launch two ships in an ocean far away from one another without starting a motor or pulling sails out, they would eventually find one another.
This is what our markets in the East and West are about to do.
Our QFS is an open-source quantum computer. They will begin to talk to one another going forward.
These connections will normalize trade values.

Iraq is moving along real fast now.
The Erbil-Baghdad Oil Accord is completed and only Iraqi Dinar will be utilized in their ATM machines going forward.
It looks like Iraq's dependence on the dollar is finally coming to an end. This new demand on their own currency will begin to allow it to rise naturally.

Do you remember the merge that happened last year in Ethereum?
Today, the process that began last year is completing itself today, and into, tomorrow.
This was the upgrade I told you gals and guys a couple of months ago I was looking forward to seeing come to a completion.
I have been talking about it for some, and I am watching it closely today. A report will be forthcoming as the day moves along.
If you have been following my articles, you know why this upgrade is so important to the currencies we hold.
