Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Tuesday Evening  3-5-24

Good evening Dinar Recaps,

Finance ministers discuss BRICS Bridge digital currency payments 

"Specifically, the Ministry said, 'We are talking about creating a multilateral digital settlement and payment platform.' However, Sputnik International one of Russia’s English propaganda networks, went further. It said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov was ready to test digital currencies with China, the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and the Gulf countries."

Another news outlet quoted Siluanov as saying, “The first thing to do is to create a connection to the existing central bank digital currency systems that are already operating in a number of countries. In parallel with this, national financial messaging systems need to be connected.”

Here, we have information with specific guidance on what has to be done in Russia and the BRICS system to see their local currencies onboarded to the new QFS. They give us a direct message in the last sentence of the above article.

Here it is again separated from the paragraph, "...national financial messaging systems need to be connected."

Meanwhile, Russia will be testing their new digital currency this year. Remember, Putin is the chair of the BRICS System this year, and many of the currencies we are looking to revalue have already joined this group. BRICS Nations are formulating a digital gold token for trade, this will change everything.

Do you remember ISO 20022 messaging system? It is still important.

KTFA:

RE: Monday Night CC:  https://fccdl.in/MeTj1sVDZZ

DeepWoodz:  imo.. thanks for the call Frank. Just a heads up… The listing USD/IQD = 2.81 would mean $1 = 2.81 dinar. Not the other way around. Even if this is true, definitely an improvement worthy of praise.  If you want to see the value of the dinar, simply list it the other direction. i.e….IQD/USD. Which equals .355.    1 dinar =0.35$

Frank26:  TEAMWORK !!! ...........I APPRECIATE YOUR HELP DW !!! TY KINDLY

DeepWoodz:  Something else I’d like to mention since you’re talking. I’ve been using Google the same way for several years now. You can type usdiqd into the search and Google has what I assume is a public rate of around 1310. So I am used to typing it in without the forward slash. 

When I do that in forexlive, I get the 1310 there also. It is interesting that without the /, the Iraqi and American flags pop up beside the pair. With the /, nothing pops up with the pair but the rates are much different (better).   Like you said, something is going on, and I like it.     Imo

Moparman:  I have found two exchanges so far showing the wonky movement of the dinar: the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Chicago Board Options Exchange. The CBOE is explicitly for options contracts. Intercontinental Exchange is still showing the 'official' rate of 1310 (IQD:USD -- the standard notation for ForEx pairing.)

The CBOE (USD/IQD) is showing USDIQD at 2.73 -- this means 2.73 dollars equals 1 dinar. The TSX (IQD/USD) is showing the inverse of that, which means .366 of 1 dinar equals 1 dollar -- .366 equals $2.73 per 1 dinar. They're responding in real time in sync.

As an example, a 25,000 dinar note would be $59,250 at that current rate.

Just thought it might help to post. No, this isn't the rate of the dinar currently -- it's futures options, which can run anywhere from 1 day up to 6 months -- but it absolutely shows something is going on with the dinar skyrocketing.

Addendum (I forgot to mention this): USD/IQD means how many dollars equal a dinar. IQD/USD (notice the inverse, it's flipped) means how many dinars equal a dollar. The 2.73 IS a dollar amount -- the inverse is how you'd calculate the exchange rate ($1 divided by .366 -- which is $2.73.) Someone was mentioning earlier that's not a dollar amount, but the USD/IQD way IS a dollar amount.

Clare:  Dinar and dollar

March 4, 2024   Mohammed Rashid

Most of the crises that accompanied us led to the collapse of our national currency (the dinar) were due to the wars that were forcibly imposed on Iraq by some major powers for many years, and the dollar was the final command that dominated the economic scene and contributed to destroying the value of the Iraqi dinar.

In 1970, a piece of land with an area of ​​(600) square meters in the most prestigious place in our city of architecture was worth (5) thousand dinars, and today the same piece is worth (one billion) and (500) million dinars. This is how playing with the fate of peoples was in order to weaken them and control them. Its human and oil resources.

Today, the economic world is witnessing a qualitative boom in awareness, and very soon it will overthrow the “dollar” and its name will be changed in the coming period to “the dinar” and after a while to “the dollar,” and in the end it will completely lose its value and its printing price will be equal to (a number of cents).

In a televised interview with the “”Iraqi President, Engineer Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani””, he uttered a very important phrase (keep the dinar). Today, through my humble vision, I bear witness that the “”Iraqi dinar will return to its lofty economic value””, away from wars and violence, through a new era that imposes its cultural will in the region and the world.   LINK

DallasDude:  Well, this is as good as it gets as far as articles go...for some reason I am feeling a little more pep in my STEP today..

Moparman:  I believe when forex hits the desired number, we as investors go to the bank. This guy talking is just more proof that we will soon celebrate

Clare:  Saleh confirms Iraq's monetary sovereignty and reduces the effects of speculation in the parallel market

3/5/2024

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, ruled out any effects on the exchange market due to “speculation” of the dollar in the parallel market.

Saleh told Al-Furat News Agency, “The effects on the exchange market no longer represent the real price operations of the basic market forces.”

He stated, “Parallel market operations are nothing but illegal speculative acts that profit from accidental profits on individual or marginal transactions and are undertaken by forces of speculators working against the law. This irregular parallel market has become isolated from the power of the official or regular market since the end of the legalization of economic transactions and the prohibition of... Any transactions in dollars in clearing debts within the national economy between natural and legal persons, as today any internal contracts, transactions or obligations concluded in foreign currency and denominated in a currency other than the national currency are not legally valid.”

Saleh noted that "this confirms the monetary sovereignty of our country through the stability of the national currency and dealing in it alone without the participation of foreign currencies in internal economic operations."

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Late Monday 3-4-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

I am aware that we have a back screen rate people have been sharing on the dinar indicating movement in the IQD. It is good to know that there is one.

Now, you can stop doubting that this is real.

Keep your eyes on gold, silver, and oil to solar sections of the Debt Clock. These numbers will be the foundation assets to the new economy, and they are numbers we need to see in order to formulate real values across all market sectors.

All roads lead to gold, and gold will set us free.

Staff Concluding Statement of the 2024 IMF Article IV Mission

KTFA:

Clare: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2024 IMF Article IV Mission

March 3, 2024

A Concluding Statement describes the preliminary findings of IMF staff at the end of an official staff visit (or ‘mission’), in most cases to a member country. Missions are undertaken as part of regular (usually annual) consultations under Article IV of the IMF's Articles of Agreement, in the context of a request to use IMF resources (borrow from the IMF), as part of discussions of staff monitored programs, or as part of other staff monitoring of economic developments.

The authorities have consented to the publication of this statement. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF Executive Board for discussion and decision.

March 3, 2024: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) mission, led by Mr. Jean-Guillaume Poulain, met with the Iraqi authorities in Amman during February 20–29 to conduct the 2024 Article IV consultation. The following statement was issued at the end of the mission:

Economic growth is projected to continue amid fiscal expansion. Meanwhile, medium-term vulnerabilities to oil price volatility have increased significantly. Reducing oil dependence and ensuring fiscal sustainability while protecting critical social and investment spending will require a significant fiscal adjustment, focused on controlling the public wage bill and increasing non-oil tax revenues. In parallel, higher economic growth will be needed to absorb the rapidly expanding labor force, boost non-oil exports and broaden the tax base.

The authorities should therefore seek to enable private sector development, including through labor market reforms, modernization of the financial sector and restructuring of state-owned banks, pension and electricity sector reforms, and continued efforts to improve governance and reduce corruption.     

Economic Outlook and Risks

Growth in the non-oil sector has rebounded strongly in 2023 while inflation receded. Supported by increases in public expenditure and solid agricultural output, real non-oil GDP is estimated to have grown by 6 percent in 2023 after stalling in 2022. Headline inflation declined from a high of 7.5 percent in January 2023 to 4 percent by year-end, reflecting lower international food and energy prices, and the impact of the February 2023 currency revaluation. The current account is expected to have recorded a surplus of 2.6 percent of GDP and international reserves increased to US$ 112 billion.

These positive developments were supported by the normalization of trade finance and the stabilization of FX market. After some initial disruptions following the introduction of new anti-money laundering and combating financing of terrorism (AML/CFT) controls on cross-border payments in November 2022, the improved compliance with the new system and the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI)’s initiatives to cut processing time led to a recovery in trade finance in the second half of 2023. This ensured private sector access to foreign exchange at the official rate for imports and travel purposes.

In the meantime, the fiscal position worsened. Although the expansionary budget was under-executed due to delayed Parliamentary approval, the fiscal balance still declined from a surplus of 10.8 percent of GDP in 2022 to a deficit of 1.3 percent in 2023, due to lower oil revenues and an increase in expenditures by 8 percentage points of GDP, of which salaries and pensions contributed 5 percentage points as the authorities started hiring in line with the budget law.

Overall growth is projected to rebound in 2024 and risks are tilted downwards amid heightened uncertainty. Non-oil growth momentum will continue in 2024. Larger declines in oil prices or extended OPEC+ cuts could weigh on fiscal and external accounts. If regional tensions escalate, a disruption of shipping routes or damage to the oil infrastructure could result in oil production losses that could outweigh the potential positive impact of higher oil prices.

 In case of a deterioration in domestic security conditions, this could lead to a decline in business sentiment and suspension of investment projects. Over the medium term, non-oil growth is projected to stabilize around 2.5 percent given existing hurdles to private sector development. Furthermore, vulnerability to oil price declines has increased as higher expenditures are projected to push the fiscal break-even oil price above $90 in 2024. Absent new policy measures, the fiscal deficit is expected to reach 7.6 percent in 2024 and widen further thereafter as oil prices are projected to gradually decline over the medium term. As a consequence, public debt would almost double from 44 percent in 2023 to 86 percent by 2029.

Policy Priorities

An ambitious fiscal adjustment would be required to help stabilize debt in the medium term and rebuild fiscal buffers, while protecting critical capital spending. Most of the fiscal adjustment would have to come from reducing current expenditure, especially controlling the wage bill by limiting mandatory hiring and gradually introducing an attrition rule. The authorities should also seek to increase non-oil revenues by broadening the personal income tax base and making it more progressive, reviewing the customs tariff structure, and considering new taxes on luxury items.

In parallel, efforts to make revenue and customs administration more efficient should continue. Further savings could be obtained through better targeting social support and increasing cost recovery within the electricity sector. These adjustment measures should provide room for the expansion of the targeted social safety net.

The authorities should also strengthen public financial management and limit fiscal risks. The mission welcomes initial steps towards the establishment of a Treasury Single Account (TSA), which is crucial to improve cash management. Further progress is needed and close cooperation between the CBI and Ministry of Finance will be essential. The next steps are to define TSA design options and complete the bank account census. In future years, overall ceilings on the issuance of guarantees should be specified in the budget law and be enforced. The mission advise against the use of extrabudgetary funds and highlights potential fiscal risks associated with their use. As a second best, it would be important to ensure the Iraq Fund for Development has appropriate governance arrangements, including governing board independence while ensuring transparency of the Fund’s activities including by publishing its investment plans in the annual budget documentation and restricting its ability to borrow. 

The mission encourages the authorities to build on the CBI welcomed efforts to reduce excess liquidity. The CBI appropriately raised the policy interest rate and reserve requirements, introduced a 14-day CBI bill facility last summer, and scaled back its subsidized lending to the real estate sector. However, monetary policy pass-through has been muted, hampered by large excess liquidity and lack of market incentives in financial intermediaries, especially at state-owned banks. The CBI’s ongoing efforts should be supported by consolidating idle government deposits in a TSA, refraining from procyclical fiscal policy, reducing the reliance on monetary finance, and improving public debt management. In parallel, efforts to develop an interbank market with the help of IMF technical assistance should continue. The mission also welcomes the authorities’ steps to speed up the digitalization of the economy, reduce the reliance on cash and enhance financial inclusion.

Wide-ranging structural reforms are needed to foster private sector development and economic diversification. Iraq needs higher and more sustainable non-oil growth to absorb the rapidly growing labor force, increase non-oil exports and government revenue, and reduce the economy’s vulnerability to oil price shocks. Key reform priorities include:

• Adopting a comprehensive employment strategy aimed at phasing-out mandatory hiring in the public sector, leveling the playing field between public and private jobs, addressing mismatches between educational curricula and the skills needed in the private sector, and strengthening labor market institutions. The strategy should also aim at reducing informality and addressing legal, social, and cultural impediments to women’s participation in the workforce.

• Accelerating financial sector reform to improve access to credit. The authorities are committed to modernizing the banking sector and supporting banks’ ability to secure correspondent banking relationships and have taken steps towards consolidation of small private banks. Efforts to restructure the two largest state-owned banks should intensify, including by expediting certification of past financial statements and implementation of core banking systems, and enhancing corporate governance in line with best practices.

• Implementing a comprehensive pension reform. This is urgently needed to reduce the overall projected fiscal costs of the public pension scheme, better align the benefits and rules across the public and private schemes, ensure adequacy of pensions and intergenerational equity, and increase the ratio of workers participating in the private pension scheme.

• Combating corruption and improving governance, particularly by strengthening the institutional and legal frameworks needed to ensure the independence of the Integrity Commission and the Board of Supreme Audit, enhancing the publication of assets and conflicts of interests declarations for top level officials, and adopting an updated anticorruption strategy. Further, public procurement and business regulations should also be enhanced. The authorities should also continue to strengthen the AML/CFT framework and its effectiveness, including in the banking sector, guided by the priority actions identified in the MENAFATF Mutual Evaluation that will be concluded in May 2024.

• Removing other hurdles to private sector development by reforming the electricity sector to improve efficiency, cost recovery, and reliable access; simplifying procedures for business registration; and upgrading critical infrastructure.

The IMF staff team stands ready to support the authorities in their reform efforts and would like to thank them for constructive and productive discussions during this mission.

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Monday Evening 3-4-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

"Glassnode on Wednesday reported that major US OTC platforms have run out of bitcoins, with only 40 coins remaining. This development shows an imminent supply shortage which directly signals the potential for a big price pump shortly."

Yes, Bitcoin is 15 years old and running out of supply. There are only 40 bitcoins left as of 3 days ago. At this point, the demand for Bitcoins are outpacing their supply.

When demand outpaces supply, the corresponding response for an asset is to rise in its value.

Historically, Bitcoin tends to lead the rally for all the crypto space. An upward movement is expected going forward inside our new digital economy.

A bull run in the crypto space will encourage digital adoption as this new asset class begins to form new price pressures going forward.

"Bitwise anticipates a surge in institutional investment into Bitcoin ETFs in the coming months as major financial institutions, known as “wirehouses,” start offering Bitcoin ETF trades to their clients."

A wirehouse is a full-service broker-dealer of any size. Although many broker-dealers are "independent" firms involved in broker-dealer services, others are subsidiaries of commercial banks, investment banks, or investment companies. They sell Securities such as spot Bitcoin ETFs for their clients leveling the playing field between the retail Market and Institutional Financing.

For this reason, the competition for gold through digital assets can now be obtained through anyone desiring to become a part of the new Financial System through these new additions to their portfolios.

This is expected to create a gold rush into the next economy for well over a decade. We are simply beginning a process of transformation that will change values in every sector of our Global markets going forward.   Crypto News   CoinTelegraph

"Russia is testing digital asset payment technology as groundwork for a potential BRICS digital currency.

The move aims to reduce global dependency on the US Dollar, aligning  with BRICS’ de-dollarization efforts.

Digital currency trials are starting with China and Eurasian Economic Union countries, under Russia’s initiative."

Russia is making a move inside the new digital economy. They are testing their new payment system with digital assets formulating a pre BRICS currency launch.

Vladimir Putin is the current chairman for the BRICS Nations. One of the qualifications in belonging to the BRICS Nations is that countries have to back their economy by gold or other commodities. These new global economic initiatives are what is leading the drive towards a Global Currency Reset.

A new trading currency with a backing by gold for the BRICS Nations is rapidly becoming more than just a simple threat to the current Global Monetary System.

Russia is currently taking practical steps in lowering their dependence on the US dollar in trade among nations. And, these changes are affecting the current ratings of their currency. Enough so, that the FATF is currently re-rating their currency.

When a countries' currency is re-rated, it means they are currently in process of a revaluation inside their new currency values and mechanisms for the dissemination of these new values in trade. Yes, new exchange rates.

"The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is the global money laundering and terrorist financing watchdog. It sets international standards that aim to prevent these illegal activities and the harm they cause to society."

Look for the FATF to get more involved in the BRICS Nations as they set forth new trading mechanisms designed to enhance their group's local currency values through their new digital asset-based trading system.

This is a move from a pegged currency with the dollar to a free floating exchange rate determined by the markets. Gold adds value to currencies that have been devalued over the years and equalizes the playing field for each country involving themselves inside free-floating mechanisms.

Watch the water.
