Thank you RJ
Good morning Dinar Recaps,
Goldilocks continues today with lots of news and comments to help with understanding what is happening this month:
Zimbabwe has just moved into a trade liberalization policy. This reduces barriers to trade among countries such as tariffs and quotas.
Reducing barriers to trade lowers the cost of goods sold in importing countries.
Zimbabwe has just enacted a monetary policy that gives them more purchasing power. It increases the demand for their currency, and this demand will increase its value.

Zimbabwe has also devalued it's current currency exchange rate.
This announcement has came during a time of a currency crisis that required an intervention.
They decided to set up new mechanisms of trade stating they would sell hard currency
“at the market-determined exchange rate."
This moves them off of a predetermined exchange rate and on to a new exchange rate based upon the demand for their currency.
These new prices will evolve into new price action patterns and be supported by the gold they hold extending their net worth.

Bangladesh is adopting a similar policy as Zimbabwe whereby they are going to allow the market to determine their new currency exchange rates.
They went on to say that this new change is expected to come in July.
Do you see a pattern taking place yet regarding SOFR lending services and how it will transform monetary policies regarding exchange rates going forward?

"US House to Provide Clarity on the Digital Asset Ecosystem"
Congress has a draft with bipartisan support of the Democrats and the Republicans on Stablecoins. It will now move forward into the legislative process.
This will provide direction for a new digital asset-based trading system allowing for a standardized approach to international trade and exchange rates.
It's all about the water my friends.

Alex Mooney Aims To Block Fed's Digital Currency Scheme
Alex Mooney Aims to Block Fed’s Digital Currency Scheme
Saturday, 10 June 2023, 7:40 AM
In recent days, sound money champion Congressman Alex Mooney (R-WV) introduced H.R. 3712, the Digital Dollar Pilot Prevention Act – legislation that would block the Fed from unilaterally pursuing any form of central bank digital currency (CBDC) scheme.
“Congress cannot give an inch when it comes to CBDCs. CBDCs would threaten the liberties of law-abiding Americans and are being used by authoritarian countries right now to crack down on dissent,” said Rep. Mooney.
H.R. 3712 is the latest in a growing backlash to central planners’ designs to further centralize government control of currencies, including creating a greater ability to track all financial transactions, disallowing certain types of purchases, and even outright “turning off” a targeted individual’s access to money.
Alex Mooney Aims to Block Fed’s Digital Currency Scheme

In recent days, sound money champion Congressman Alex Mooney (R-WV) introduced H.R. 3712, the Digital Dollar Pilot Prevention Act – legislation that would block the Fed from unilaterally pursuing any form of central bank digital currency (CBDC) scheme.
“Congress cannot give an inch when it comes to CBDCs. CBDCs would threaten the liberties of law-abiding Americans and are being used by authoritarian countries right now to crack down on dissent,” said Rep. Mooney.
H.R. 3712 is the latest in a growing backlash to central planners’ designs to further centralize government control of currencies, including creating a greater ability to track all financial transactions, disallowing certain types of purchases, and even outright “turning off” a targeted individual’s access to money.
Rep. Mooney’s bill defines “central bank digital currency” as “a form of digital money or monetary value, denominated in the national unit of account, that is a direct liability of the Federal Reserve.”
The bill continues, “Unless authorized by an Act of Congress enacted after the date of the enactment of this act, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Federal reserve banks may not establish, carry out, or approve a program intended to test the practicability of issuing a central bank digital currency, including by partnering or coordinating with a private sector entity to carry out such a program.”
H.R. 3712 has already attracted support, with more than a dozen original cosponsors and several endorsements from pro-liberty groups.
“Spending time and taxpayer resources on research or pilot programs would be an end-around on Congressional intent, authorization, or jurisdiction. The Federal Reserve should be focused on fulfilling its formal mandate of taming Bidenflation, not mimicking China,” David McIntosh, President, Club for Growth.
Meanwhile, the opposition to central bank digital currencies is actually somewhat bipartisan.
Republican Presidential hopefuls Ron DeSantis and Vivek Ramaswamy, along with Democrat Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have spoken out about the dangers of a centralized government-run digital currency.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) have also come out against CBDCs, with the latter claiming that Democrats quietly support anti-CBDC legislation as well.
Governor DeSantis recently signed legislation banning any involvement with a digital dollar as to the State of Florida, including any CBDC being viewed as money within the meaning of Florida’s Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). Several other states are now considering similar measures to pump the brakes on a potential FedCoin.
Under a CBDC scheme, a time-stamped ledger of every single transaction by every single individual and/or firm would create existential threats to privacy. Centralizing the financial history of every U.S. citizen poses other dangers as well.
It’s easy to imagine how this level of data collection could be weaponized against individuals who step outside of government-favored opinions and activities.
Donate to a cause the political class has bashed as dangerous? There goes access to your life savings. Buy or sell a product not approved by the powers that be? Your assets are frozen with the click of a mouse.
CBDCs enable what amounts to a government-granted allowance.
Rep. Mooney said, “CBDCs are not about innovation – they are about control.”
By contrast, returning to a monetary standard based in gold would help restore the freedom and privacy of the individual. And gold has historically been a stable and trusted store of wealth, largely outside the clutches of central planners.
Sound money is subject to – and determined by – market forces, serves as a natural check against unrestrained currency creation, and protects purchasing power over time.
To be sure, the Federal Reserve note system is broken. But doubling down on this failed experiment in fiat currency by adding more government tracking and control will bring about even greater destruction.

Tishwash: What does JPMorgan's willingness to support Iraqi banks mean?
The US "JP Morgan" bank expressed its willingness to support Iraqi trade financing operations, during a meeting with the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, on Friday.
He called on the Iraqi Central Bank, "JP Morgan" to open a representative office in Iraq, "promising it to provide the necessary support to facilitate this step because it represents positive repercussions on the Iraqi economy in general," according to what the Central Bank of Iraq reported on its official website .
In an interview with " Al-Hurra " channel , the economist, Mahmoud Dagher, says that "GB Morgan" is one of the largest banks in the world, and it has great weight in the "correspondence process" between banks in the world.
Step importance
Regarding the importance of the bank to Iraq, the expert points out that the bank is classified in a high order, so Iraqi banks need it as an intermediary to transfer funds to exporting companies around the world, especially those that use the dollar.
The expert believes that Iraqi banks need classified banks that can help them in light of changing the new international transfer rules, and that Iraq has responded to its compliance rules.
For Dagher, JPMorgan could help Iraqi banks with money transfers and "capacity building" operations to establish new qualifications. As "most of the banks in the private sector...are modern and need training and development," as he put it.
According to Dagher, Iraqi banks need safe, classified banks at the level of “GB Morgan” for such operations, because “Iraq is one of the countries whose imports reach $60 billion, and this is a large amount,” in addition to government imports that are just over $10 billion. dollars, according to the economist.
The expert believes that whenever large banks, including JPMorgan, are able to secure credits and remittances and transfer them to the "final recipient" in European countries and the United States, "we will be able to provide better service to Iraqi merchants, while applying compliance rules."
Dagher concludes that the bank "has great weight and its presence in Iraq will encourage others to enter the market, and there is a list of banks that exchange information with 'JP Morgan' to be accepted by the bank as a correspondent," according to the Iraqi expert.
The Central Bank of Iraq said that the vice president of JP Morgan Bank, Daniel Zeliko, praised "the recent measures taken by the Central Bank of Iraq in the field of combating money laundering and terrorist financing and the adoption of international standards in money transfers." link

Government banks," pointing out that "the Central Bank continues to provide support to these banks to improve the quality of data, including conducting an assessment of the quality of assets for the Rafidain and Rasheed banks, as an international auditing company was contracted for this purpose, and this bank bore the cost of contracting with this company."

Shaddad: The Oil And Gas Law Will See The Light Immediately After The Budget
Information / Baghdad..The Oil and Gas Committee confirmed, on Thursday, the existence of a prior agreement between the forces of the state administration to legislate the oil and gas law immediately after approving the budget, indicating that the region has no choice but to proceed with the legislation of the law.
Committee member Representative Ali Shaddad Al-Faris said in a statement to Al-Maalouma, that "the regional government and its political forces have no choice but to proceed with the legislation of the oil and gas law, especially after Federal Court Decision No.
An exaggeration by the Central Bank of Iraq through the Federal Ministry of Finance, as well as the decision of the International Court in Paris, which prevented Turkey from receiving oil through the region and exporting it abroad, as large financial fines were imposed on the Turkish side in this regard. He added,
"The forces of the state administration, including the Kurdish parties, have a prior agreement to legislate the oil and gas law immediately after voting on the federal budget.
Likewise, the Oil and Gas Committee also has prior directives from the forces of the state administration to prepare to discuss the law to put it to vote."
It is noteworthy that the suspended oil and gas law in Parliament since its first session, in 2005, is one of the most prominent points on which a preliminary agreement was reached between the governments of Baghdad and the region,
but the law faces many obstacles, despite the fact that it helps to resolve the differences between the governments of Baghdad and the region. End / 25 pm

This reset in the car industry is due to having too many cars and not enough buyers.

A Budget Usurped By And From It, Will It End The Controversy Of Emptiness And Fill The Pockets Of Citizens, Or Will People Return With Nostalgia?
Policy 09/06/2023, the number of readings: 99 Baghdad-Iraq today: The political editor of Iraq Today wrote:
With his success in voting on some articles of the budget in an (evening) session, it seems that it has become a custom in the parliament, which takes the night as a camel, a veil and a cover, so it passes the governments, and votes on controversial laws, and here he is repeating it with the forthcoming budget law, this The budget, which is described as the largest and largest in the history of the country,
and the most incapacitated as well, as its deficit amounts to nearly a Third, in light of the insane increase in operating expenses in which government recruitment campaigns were put, especially after 2019, a pulse that does not want to return to the conditions it was. Before this date, with the opening of everyone's appetite, for the public job, which has become an easy source of income,
We are not able to evaluate the effectiveness of the government employment program, which has been taken in a clear clientelistic form by the political forces in control, where employment takes place in return for obtaining popular support in successful electoral events, and the ability of successive governments to Confront a huge flood that eats the state's financial resources, which are already derived from it. From oil revenues, foreign companies that contracted in the so-called licensing rounds contribute by taking a balanced share.
We say that the budget that seems to have no father, although everyone claims from a hidden side, some connection to it, but he attacks it, because it did not meet his ambition, which is mostly subjective, partisan, factional, and does not put general considerations in the list of national priorities, we say this budget will be in the event that the House of Representatives today completes the approval of the remainder of its articles. It is the critical test for the government of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani, as it will reveal its ability to employ it in order to build economic growth and development, or it may reveal - God forbid - a Governmental deficit, it It seems that due to the bureaucratic legacy and corruption is present and strong in the scene, but the will of the Sudanese can curb it,
We, facing a pivotal position, may end up approving a budget, from which everyone wants what they want, and they attack it as well, and this is the case of democratic parliamentary systems, but what matters to us is that the political anger does not spread to the street and strategize it. LINK

Posted On2023-06-08 By Sotaliraq 2023-06-08 Today, Thursday, members of the Parliamentary Finance Committee asked the Parliamentary Legal Committee to give them only 24 hours to read the budget law in preparation for its approval, while they revealed the nature of the internal Kurdish dispute regarding the committee’s “amendments” and the party’s “veto” democrats for a specific procedure.
Sources who were present at the meeting of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, which ended a short time ago, said that “a number of committee members actually asked the Legal Committee to give a period of 24 hours only in order to read the budget law, provided that this be with the approval of the Presidency of Parliament.”
The sources added, "There is preliminary approval from the Presidency and the Parliamentary Legal Committee, but so far it has not been official regarding this request."

Al-Kazemi added, "In the event that it is not possible to export oil from the port of Ceyhan, the quantities of 400 thousand barrels of oil per day will be settled to the federal government for local consumption, and the federal government will have to pay the region's dues 12.67% of the budget."
A member of the Finance Committee continued, "The remaining differences are between the Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan regarding the priority of disbursing the salaries of employees and retirees in the Kurdistan Region, and in the event that the distribution is not fair, the Patriotic Union will deal directly with the federal government by disbursing the dues of Sulaymaniyah without referring to the regional government." Pointing out that "the Democratic Party is not satisfied with this issue and considers it interference in the internal region."
And Al-Kazemi indicated, “Therefore, dialogues are currently taking place to reach a consensus between the Democratic Party and the National Union in this regard, in order to reach a final result.”
The Kurdistan Democratic Party objected to the amendments added by the Parliamentary Finance Committee to the budget law, which, according to the party’s vision, reflected the agreement between the governments of Baghdad and the region, while attempts were made to resolve this “crisis”, whether at the level of parliamentary meetings or even at the level of political parties and blocs to bring the views of the two parties closer.
