Tishwash:  An economist says non-oil revenues face major challenges, and there are three sources of funding for the budget.

Economic expert Salah Nouri identified the sources of revenue in the general budget, pointing out that non-oil revenues face major challenges that prevent them from achieving their available potential.

Nouri told Al-Furat News Agency, "The sources of revenue in the general budget consist of: first, oil export revenues; second, taxes; third, customs duties; fourth, the treasury's share of profits from public companies; fifth, donations and subsidies; and sixth, the sale and lease of state assets."

He added that the available sources facing challenges include

1- Customs duties: Iraq imports everything, but the Ministry of Finance faces significant challenges related to smuggling, the entry of goods and merchandise without customs duties, price manipulation, and the proliferation of unofficial and controlled border crossings. 

2- Taxes: The Ministry of Finance faces significant challenges from tax evasion and manipulation of tax calculations, as evidenced by what happened in the "Theft of the Century" case

3- Sale and lease of state assets: There are significant challenges in the revenue from property rentals, as thousands of properties are occupied without rent being paid, or at a rate lower than what is stipulated by the law governing the sale and lease of state assets.  link

Tishwash:  Sudani welcomes his winning candidates: The results reflect the Iraqis' faith in our project

The head of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, received a number of the coalition's winning candidates in the recent parliamentary elections, in the presence of former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, Minister of Labor Ahmed al-Asadi, and several other prominent figures. During the meeting, al-Sudani emphasized that the election results reflect a return of public confidence in the political process.

He noted that the voter turnout, which exceeded 56%, is an indicator of the strength of the popular will and citizens' support for the reconstruction and development project, which aims to promote development and reform across various sectors in the coming years.

 He received a number of winning candidates from within the coalition during the recent parliamentary elections, in the presence of the former Prime Minister, Mr. Iyad Allawi, the Minister of Labor, Ahmed Al-Asadi, and a number of dignitaries and figures from the coalition’s supporters.

We expressed our thanks and appreciation to all the leaders and electoral pillars of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition for their efforts that contributed to achieving great results during the legislative elections.

We noted that the recent legislative elections witnessed a return of confidence between the people and the political process through the broad participation that was unprecedented in years, and that the participation rate in the elections, which exceeded 56%, was not expected, and that international and regional institutions look at the standard of the percentage of citizens’ participation in the elections, which represents popular confidence in the existing political process.

We explained that the Reconstruction and Development Project is continuing its reform approach, working to correct the paths and meet the aspirations of the Iraqis, stressing that the government and the Reconstruction and Development Coalition Project were subjected to a campaign of misinformation and falsification before the elections, suggesting that doubts will continue to be cast on the list’s victory and the nearly 1.4 million votes it achieved, which no political entity has reached in all the elections.

We affirmed that the coalition leaders will engage in a negotiation process to reach a parliamentary-governmental project capable of meeting the aspirations of citizens and confronting current challenges.

Here are the main points we discussed during the meeting:

🔹The loss of public confidence in elections represented the biggest loss to the political process, so it was necessary to restore this confidence.

🔹The world is now aware that our people have made their choices, and that the voter turnout has increased.

🔹The Reconstruction and Development Coalition is a national project that includes political and national figures who believe in the reconstruction and development project, and the votes we received in various governorates reflect people’s confidence in our project.

🔹Obtaining this number of votes presents a challenge for us to provide services at a level befitting the aspirations of the citizens who participated in the elections and granted us this trust.

🔹Government performance was a major reason for the return of public confidence in the political process.

🔹We will double our efforts, and we will achieve much of what we started in the previous period. Reconstruction in Iraq will continue for more than twenty years, and we will work to promote development in various files and sectors.  link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Saturday Morning 11-15-25

Newsweek: The Sudanese Man Who Wants To Make Iraq Great Again

In an extensive report published by the American newspaper Newsweek, the spotlight was on Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, describing him as “the man who wants to make Iraq great again,” in reference to his ambitious vision to revive Iraq’s historical and cultural role on the international stage.

The newspaper stated that al-Sudani, who assumed the premiership following a political crisis that ousted his predecessor in 2022, has transcended being merely a "temporary solution" to become a pivotal figure leading Iraq through a critical juncture in its history. It added that the upcoming elections, in which more than 7,700 candidates are vying for the position, could determine his political future and his chances of leading the country for a second term.

According to the newspaper, Al-Sudani envisions Iraq as a future global hub for trade, investment, and innovation, basing his vision on its vast natural resources, latent human potential, and rich cultural heritage spanning thousands of years. During his interview with the newspaper at his office in the Presidential Palace in Baghdad's Green Zone, Al-Sudani pointed to the Code of Hammurabi, describing it as "the first law of humanity" and an example of Iraq's contributions to humankind.

Al-Sudani said: “Iraq is a great country, a homeland of civilizations for 7,000 years… This greatness is in the genes of Iraqis, generation after generation, and it is the secret of their resilience in the face of challenges.”

The newspaper concludes its report by noting that the elections will not be just another vote, but a crucial moment that could reshape modern Iraq and give it the opportunity to regain its prestigious position in the world, under the leadership of a man who believes that his country deserves to be great again. https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62281

The Pentagon Reveals: Advanced Communications System On Its Way To Iraq

Money and Business  Economy News — Follow-up    The Pentagon announced on Friday that the U.S. State Department has approved a potential sale of an advanced communications repeater system to Iraq, with the aim of strengthening the country's communications infrastructure, at an estimated value of $100 million.

Reuters, as reported by Al-Eqtisad News, stated that "the Pentagon clarified that the deal, if completed, will contribute to raising the efficiency of national communication networks and supporting Iraq's technical capabilities in the field of strategic communications."

She explained that "L3 Harris Corporation will be the main contractor to carry out the sale and provide the required technologies."   The deal is part of efforts to strengthen security and technical cooperation between Washington and Baghdad.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62273

An Advisor To The Prime Minister Outlines A Roadmap For Economic Diversification In Iraq.

Time: 14/11/2025 Readings: 75 times  {Economic: Al-Furat News} The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, said that the Iraqi government assesses its ability to diversify sources of income as a long-term strategic challenge, especially since oil accounts for nearly 90% of public revenues and half of the gross domestic product, and its export revenues represent the country's foreign inflows, stressing that excessive dependence on oil makes the economy fragile in the face of fluctuations in the global energy market.

Saleh added to Al-Furat News Agency that: “Progress in this field still faces structural and institutional obstacles, despite it being one of the basics of implementing the government program that was approved by the House of Representatives in October 2022, as economic diversification in the fields of energy, industry, tourism, digital services and agriculture has taken center stage in the work of the executive authority and the approved draft laws.

He pointed out that the government's strategic framework and political will were formulated through the roadmap launched with the National Development Plan (2024–2028), and in accordance with the data of Iraq Vision 2050, all of which point to strategic objectives for diversifying the economy and building highly cohesive non-oil sectors (agriculture, renewable energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and the digital economy). He explained that the availability of these plans is important but not sufficient without rigorous, continuous, and sustained implementation that transcends electoral cycles.

He explained that “the goal of the partnership between the state and the private sector has become the first strategic buffer that protects the country from its dependence on a single resource, noting that the diversification policy was launched strongly from the single oil sector itself by manufacturing crude oil and converting it into derivatives and products, towards replacing imports of oil derivatives and being satisfied with the national product after operating giant refineries, and the future direction towards exporting oil products with high added value, which is a first step that will provide between 3% to 5% direct and immediate space in diversifying the gross domestic product in one go, and this path is running in the digital services sector, agriculture, tourism and others in cooperation with the private sector.”

Saleh identified the current path towards containing the financial and real deficit in the macroeconomy, as follows: First: Giving priority to investment in productive infrastructure immediately, especially the electricity generation sector (solar projects and gas investment), making qualitative shifts in water and transportation management, and proceeding with logistics infrastructure projects that link the agricultural and industrial sectors to regional markets, as they generate sustainable employment and reduce the cost of business. Modern solar energy projects represent a practical example of reducing spending and strengthening sustainable economic growth.

He added, "Work is also underway to reform public sector companies and government institutions by increasing efficiency through restructuring energy, ports and railway companies, improving governance mechanisms and involving the efficient and productive private sector in what are called Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)."

He also stressed the importance of "enhancing non-oil revenues by expanding the fair tax base, adopting a productive tax policy based on improving the collection of taxes and customs duties, coordinating fair tax policies without harming the incentive for investment and production, and improving property and land rules to attract industrial and agricultural investment within the framework of national development plans."

Saleh continued, "Governance and digital investment in successful macro-administration remain important assets in accelerating economic diversification, especially adopting mechanisms for evaluating and holding public projects accountable by adopting what is called the Project Evaluation Portal (CPMS) to evaluate the economic, social and environmental feasibility before the start of funding, and performance indicators linking spending to achieving tangible results within a systematic long-term approach to implementing the principles of program and performance budgets, which should be expanded and adopted gradually in cooperation between planning, financial and oversight bodies to achieve the goals of sustainable development and financial strengthening of the country."  LINK

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Global Metals Markets Reflect Shift Toward Asset-Backed Financial Systems
Gold and strategic metals are becoming central to monetary policy and sovereign strategy.

Overview

• Central banks continue record gold accumulation, signaling waning trust in debt-based reserves.

• Strategic metals (lithium, copper, nickel) are now treated as geopolitical assets, not simple commodities.

• Physical markets are diverging from paper markets, suggesting supply stress and asset realignment.

Key Developments

• Gold demand from monetary authorities reaches multi-decade highs, reshaping reserve strategies.

• Nations secure long-term supply contracts for essential metals, linking resource access to financial positioning.

• Industrial metals show increased volatility, driven by energy policy and infrastructure shifts.

• New digital gold and tokenized metal products emerge, offering programmable settlement backed by physical reserves.

Why It Matters
A move to asset-backed financial architecture increases the importance of real-world materials. Metals markets are becoming a proxy for global trust and monetary security.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Gold as a Stability Anchor
Gold accumulation reflects preparation for currency realignment and debt repricing.

Pillar 2: Strategic Metals as Financial Leverage
Critical minerals are now core components of national and financial resilience.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

World Currencies Enter Transition Phase as Multi-System Architecture Emerges
Digital platforms, alternative settlement corridors, and de-dollarisation reshape global currency power.

Overview

• The U.S. dollar remains dominant but shows early signs of diversification pressure.

• Cross-border digital currency pilots are maturing, creating new paths for settlement.

• Countries are forming bilateral trade corridors that bypass legacy FX systems.

Key Developments

• Tokenized central bank money is being tested for cross-border settlement, reducing intermediaries.

• Bilateral and regional payment blocs expand, using local currencies for trade finance.

• Reserve diversification accelerates, with several nations increasing gold and reducing dollar exposure.

• Sovereign digital currencies (CBDCs) gain operational readiness, preparing for commercial integration.

Why It Matters
Currency power determines geopolitical leverage. These developments suggest a shift from a single-dominant reserve system to a multi-asset, multi-rail global currency framework.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Multi-Currency Settlement Systems
Nations are building financial sovereignty through alternative rails and local-currency trade.

Pillar 2: Digital Reserve Transformation
Tokenized reserves will change how value is stored, transferred, and measured.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

BRICS Gold Strategy 2025–2030: Reserve Expansion Signals Long-Term Financial Shift
Gold accumulation and de-dollarization efforts point to a coordinated monetary realignment.

Overview

• BRICS nations are actively expanding gold reserves, signaling a structural shift away from dollar-dominant reserves.

• Long-term plans for 2025–2030 include increased gold and silver purchases, alongside new autonomous financial tools.

• Analysts view this as groundwork for a future BRICS gold-linked currency and a broader multipolar financial architecture.

Key Developments

• Brazil added 16 tonnes of gold in September 2025, its first major purchase since 2021, raising reserves from 129.7 to 145.1 tonnes.

• Russia (2,336 tonnes), China (2,298 tonnes), and India (880 tonnes) continue high-volume holdings and steady accumulation.

• Global central banks bought more than 1,000 tonnes annually from 2022–2024 — the longest modern streak on record.

• WGC surveys show overwhelming consensus (95%) that central bank gold reserves will increase over the next 12 months.

• BRICS financial coordination includes de-dollarization, BRICS Pay, and exploration of a gold-anchored currency, forming alternative settlement channels.

Why It Matters
BRICS gold policies reflect a coordinated strategy to rebalance reserve composition, reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar, and build credibility for future currency frameworks. These moves represent a deliberate step toward a multipolar financial order.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Reserve Asset Recomposition
Growing gold reserves strengthen monetary independence and create foundations for alternative financial rails.

Pillar 2: Currency and Payment System Innovation
Development of BRICS Pay and discussions of a gold-linked instrument show preparation for a parallel settlement system.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Inflation and Debt Are Quietly Reshaping the Global Wealth Divide, Says George Gammon

Inflation and Debt Are Quietly Reshaping the Global Wealth Divide, Says George Gammon

Kitco News:  11-1-4-2025

The stock market is hitting record highs, credit markets are flashing warning signs, and economic cracks are widening—yet many investors remain oblivious to the brewing storm.

In a recent interview with Jeremy Szafron of Kitco News, financial analyst George Gammon delved into the precarious state of the global financial system, uncovering troubling parallels to the pre-2008 crisis era.

This alarming financial landscape suggests that while the stock market may be soaring, the foundation underneath is eroding fast.

Gammon highlighted eerie similarities between today’s conditions and those leading up to the 2007 Bear Stearns collapse:

“The biggest risk right now isn’t the Fed—it’s the shadow banking system. When trust in collateral erodes, liquidity vanishes overnight.”

The bottom line? A full-blown 2008-style meltdown isn’t inevitable, but the warning signs are impossible to ignore.

Most importantly, true wealth lies in access to goods and services, not just inflated asset prices. In a crisis, liquidity and tangible assets will matter far more than paper gains.

The financial system is walking a tightrope. While central banks maintain the illusion of stability, the real economy is showing cracks—from failing credit markets to distressed consumers.

The question isn’t if a correction is coming, but how severe it will be.

Investor and macro expert George Gammon warns that “the smart money is running for the exits.”

Beneath record Dow highs, UBS hedge fund liquidations, and 6.65% subprime auto delinquencies signal “this is playing out exactly like the middle of 2007.”

 In this exclusive interview with Jeremy Szafron on Kitco News, Gammon explains that “the plumbing is clogging up” across global credit markets, the Fed has lost control of the monetary system, and why both parties now push “big government socialism.”

He calls the 50-year mortgage “real estate serfdom” and says fiscal populism is turning stimulus into a permanent election tool.

As gold trades above $4,200, Gammon says, “true wealth isn’t about how much gold you have, it’s about access to goods and services.”

Are we witnessing the greatest wealth transfer of our lifetime, and the slow-motion replay of 2008?

In this interview, Gammon discusses:

• Parallels between today’s market and 2007

 • Liquidity risk, counterparty exposure, and the next repo crisis

 • Debt, inflation, and the illusion of wealth

 • Gold above $4,200 and Bitcoin as real purchasing power

 • How fiscal policy became permanent stimulus

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Finance Signals Structural Reset as Institutions Shift Toward Tokenized Systems
New frameworks from the IMF, BIS, and central banks point to an accelerating monetary overhaul.

Overview

• Major financial institutions are signaling that the existing global system is no longer sustainable, citing fragmentation, fiscal stress, and rising sovereign risk.

• The BIS has outlined a next-generation monetary architecture built on tokenized reserves, programmable settlement, and unified ledgers—indicating structural redesign, not incremental reform.

• Central banks continue heavy gold accumulation, positioning tangible assets as stability anchors amid currency uncertainty.

Key Developments

• IMF officials warn of “sudden and sweeping changes” in financial flows as debt loads and geopolitical tensions destabilize traditional coordination.

• Tokenized financial instruments are moving from pilot to pre-deployment, with cross-border settlement platforms now tested by multiple central banks.

• Sovereign debt restructuring frameworks are accelerating, a shift typically seen only in periods of global realignment.

• Dollar dominance shows its first measurable erosion, with new bilateral trade corridors using alternative currencies and settlement rails.

Why It Matters
These developments indicate that global finance is transitioning from a legacy system built on correspondent banking and U.S. dollar hegemony toward a digitized, multi-asset reserve structure. This represents not a policy cycle—but a re-architecture of the financial world.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Monetary Infrastructure Redesign
A move toward tokenized reserves and unified ledgers suggests that the core plumbing of global finance is being rebuilt from the ground up.

Pillar 2: Shifts in Reserve Assets & Sovereign Stability
Central bank gold accumulation and new debt-restructuring tools point to a transition away from debt-driven liquidity toward asset-backed stability.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Geopolitical Realignments Accelerate as Nations Shift Toward New Financial Alliances

Diplomacy is now directly shaping the emerging global monetary system.

Overview

• Diplomatic blocs are reorganizing around financial cooperation rather than ideology, linking trade, currency, and settlement frameworks.

• Major economies are building parallel payment systems, reducing reliance on traditional Western financial rails.

• Peace negotiations increasingly include financial guarantees and reconstruction mechanisms, tying diplomacy to monetary restructuring.

Key Developments

• Bilateral agreements now include digital-currency settlement terms, signaling that foreign policy and monetary policy are merging.

• Regional alliances are prioritizing stability corridors, including energy-for-settlement swaps and guaranteed liquidity lines.

• Global institutions are reframing peacebuilding through financial integration, using economic tools to secure long-term stability.

• Middle-power nations are emerging as key mediators, leveraging new financial systems to gain geopolitical influence.

Why It Matters
Diplomacy is no longer only about territory or security — financial alignment is now the central strategic objective. This shift reflects a world preparing for a multi-system monetary order.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Financial Alliances Replace Old Security Blocs
Nations are choosing economic interoperability over military pacts as their anchor of cooperation.

Pillar 2: Peace Through Economic Integration
Stability is increasingly achieved through shared digital infrastructure and settlement frameworks.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Global Markets Signal Structural Transition as Liquidity and Settlement Systems Evolve
Market behavior is reflecting deep infrastructure change far beyond normal cycles.

Overview

• Market volatility now mirrors structural uncertainty, not just economic data.

• Investors are repositioning around hard assets and tokenized instruments.

• Sovereign bonds are showing new divergence, signaling a repricing of global risk.

Key Developments

• Tokenized government securities are entering pilot issuance, creating new liquidity layers.

• Global equity indices show capital rotation toward infrastructure, commodities, and digital settlement tech.

• Bond markets price rising sovereign fragility, especially across emerging markets.

• A widening gap between physical and derivative markets suggests a revaluation of tangible assets.

Why It Matters
Markets are adjusting not only to economic conditions but to the replacement of legacy financial plumbing — the rails that determine how money moves.

Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Restructuring of Market Liquidity
Tokenized instruments and new clearing systems are redefining capital flows.

Pillar 2: Real Asset Revaluation
Markets are preparing for an economy where tangible value holds greater weight than debt-based instruments.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

“Tidbits From TNT” Friday Morning 11-14-2025

TNT:

Tishwash: Sudani on the cover of Newsweek: The man who brought Iraq back into the spotlight

The renowned American magazine Newsweek published an exceptional cover in its issue released this week featuring Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, asserting in a headline that “It’s time to shine — the Iraqi Prime Minister has brought Iraq back into the spotlight.”

The selection of Al-Sudani for the cover came after a series of remarkable developments in Iraq recently, most notably the great success in organizing the parliamentary elections, which the magazine described as “among the most smooth and transparent in recent years,” considering that this achievement restored international confidence in Baghdad’s ability to manage its democratic entitlements with high efficiency.

In an extensive report within the issue, Newsweek noted that the political and security developments that accompanied the electoral process coincided with vigorous government efforts to rebuild state institutions and support the national economy, which enabled Iraq to move steadily towards restoring its regional and international role.

The report also addressed Al-Sudani’s vision for promoting stability, improving services, and expanding Iraq’s relations with various countries, considering that this approach “brought Iraq back to the map of global attention after many years of challenges.”  link

Tishwash:  The US agrees to sell an advanced communications system to Iraq.  

 The US Department of Defense (Pentagon) said that the US State Department has approved a possible sale of a communications repeater system, which is used to enhance communications, nationwide to Iraq for $100 million.

The Pentagon added that the prime contractor for the sale would be L3 Harris Corporation.

A Telecommunication Repeater System is a vital system in telecommunications networks. Its primary function is to receive weak or distorted wireless or wired signals, amplify or renew them, and then retransmit them to increase coverage range and maintain signal quality over long distances.  link

Tishwash:  Iraq participates in the Arab Forum for Public Finance and Budget in Beirut

 Minister of Finance, Taif Sami Mohammed, participated today, Thursday, in the Arab Forum for Public Finance and Current Budget in Beirut from November 12-13.

The ministry said in a statement followed by Al-Masra, “The Minister of Finance, Taif Sami Muhammad, participated in the work of the Arab Forum for Public Finance and Current Budget in Beirut from November 12-13, which discusses the most prominent challenges and financial policies in Arab countries, with the participation of ministers, officials and experts from Arab countries and international and regional organizations.”

She added that “the forum’s activities opened with a ministerial session dedicated to discussing public spending, social sector priorities, and public financial sustainability in the region. The session focused on the importance of directing resources towards social development priorities and reviewed reforms and policies that enhance spending efficiency and support the sustainability of financial frameworks.”

She added that “the session also addressed successful models and practical experiences in improving public spending management, in addition to discussing the challenges facing governments in promoting investment in human development, social protection and basic services.”

She pointed out that “the convening of the forum comes within the efforts to promote dialogue and Arab cooperation in the field of public finance, and to exchange experiences and visions aimed at supporting public financial sustainability and achieving economic and social development in the region.” link

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Tokenization Moves into the Mainstream as International Organization of Securities Commissions Warns of New Risks
Global regulators issue landmark report as tokenized financial assets gain traction.

Overview

• The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) published its final report on the tokenization of financial assets, signalling regulatory focus on a rapidly evolving segment. 

• The report highlights legal, infrastructure and systemic-risk challenges, including unclear ownership rights and heightened interconnectedness across platforms. 

• With more institutions experimenting with tokenization of bonds, money markets and other assets, the report underscores the need for updated governance frameworks. 

Key Developments

• Legal uncertainty: Ownership and enforceability of tokenised assets remain ambiguous under many jurisdictions. 

• Infrastructure risks: Increased interconnectedness of token platforms may amplify vulnerabilities already present in traditional markets. 

• Institutional shift: Tokenisation is moving from pilots to production, with benefits such as efficiency, liquidity and access cited by industry participants.

Why It Matters
The advancement of tokenization marks a fundamental transformation in financial markets: assets become programmable, settlement accelerates and access broadens. As regulators raise warnings, the shift poses both opportunity and risk — the architecture of capital markets is being rewired from the ground up.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 3 – Market & Capital Flow Reorientation: Tokenization opens new channels for capital flows, fractionalisation and cross-border investing, reshaping how value moves globally.

• Pillar 5 – Infrastructure & Technology: The report emphasises that the next stage of finance relies less on legacy systems and more on blockchain-based settlement, tokens and digital assets.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Monetary Authority of Singapore Launches 2026 Pilot for Tokenised Government Bills, Tightens Stablecoin Rules
Singapore doubles down on digital assets with real-world trials and regulatory clamp-down.

Overview

• The Monetary Authority of Singapore announced a 2026 pilot for tokenised government bills settled using a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC). 

• At the same time, MAS introduced tighter rules around stablecoins as part of its broader digital finance strategy. 

• The dual move highlights the convergence of regulation, innovation and financial infrastructure in one of Asia’s key financial hubs.

Key Developments

• Singapore’s pilot will involve tokenised government securities (T-bills) and settlement in a wholesale CBDC environment, signalling real-world use of programmable finance. 

• Stablecoin rules have been strengthened to ensure investor protection, operational resilience and integration with the broader financial system. 

• Regional banks, fintechs and infrastructure providers are preparing to engage with the pilot, positioning Singapore at the forefront of tokenised asset markets.

Why It Matters
Singapore’s initiative bridges the gap between experimental digital finance and mainstream credit/investment markets. By embedding tokenisation into government-backed instruments and aligning regulation, the city-state is shaping a new model for how finance, technology and sovereignty interlink.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade & Industry: The pilot paves the way for tokenised instruments to become standard in government financing, commercial funding and cross-border settlement.

• Pillar 5 – Infrastructure & Technology: With CBDC settlement and tokenised bills, Singapore’s model points to tomorrow’s global finance infrastructure—programmable, fast, border-aware.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

2 BRICS Members Achieve 100% De-Dollarization, Call It ‘Great Joy’
Kazakhstan and Russia complete full transition to national currency settlements.

Overview

• Russia and Kazakhstan have reached 100% de-dollarization in bilateral trade, officially eliminating the U.S. dollar from cross-border settlements.

• President Vladimir Putin confirmed the milestone during a meeting with Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev in Moscow, calling it “a great joy” for both economies.

• The achievement underscores BRICS’ broader strategy to establish financial sovereignty and insulate member economies from Western sanctions.

Key Developments

• Bilateral trade between Russia and Kazakhstan, previously 90% de-dollarized earlier this year, has now reached full settlement in ruble and tenge.

• The move follows U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia since 2022, which accelerated the global push to shift away from the dollar.

• Putin noted that joint investment projects total “tens of billions of dollars”, now fully transacted in local currencies.

• The de-dollarization model between these two BRICS partners may serve as a blueprint for other emerging economies seeking monetary independence.

• BRICS financial institutions, including the New Development Bank, are expanding funding in local currencies for climate and infrastructure projects.

Why It Matters
This milestone marks a critical turning point in the de-dollarization campaign that underpins BRICS’ economic strategy. As member nations build parallel financial frameworks, the global dominance of the U.S. dollar faces unprecedented structural challenge—one that could redefine reserve currency dynamics for the decade ahead.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade and Industry: The Russia–Kazakhstan model demonstrates how regional trade networks can thrive without dollar dependency, strengthening multipolar financial systems.

• Pillar 3 – Finance and Monetary Policy: Full de-dollarization signals a transition toward currency blocs, creating new standards for global payment systems and investment flows.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Life Changing Market Crash on the Horizon

Life Changing Market Crash on the Horizon

WTFinance: 11-12-2025

Are you confident your retirement savings are truly safe amidst today’s increasingly unpredictable financial markets?

For investors aged 50 and above, nearing or already in retirement, this question carries unprecedented weight.

The market landscape is shifting, and according to Chris Vermeulen, founder and chief market strategist at The Technical Traders, a major financial reset might be closer than many realize.

In a recent, insightful episode of the WTFinance podcast, Vermeulen delivered a comprehensive analysis, urging investors to stop relying on hope and start building a robust game plan to protect their hard-earned capital.

 His message is clear: preparedness isn’t just wise, it’s essential for navigating what could be a swift, life-changing financial event.

Vermeulen paints a vivid picture of the current stock market, largely propped up by the “Magnificent 7” tech stocks. While these giants have driven much of the recent growth, he warns of “frothy valuations” and a dangerous “herd mentality” that could leave many vulnerable.

This concentrated market strength might feel good on the surface, but it masks underlying fragilities.

So, how do we spot the true signs of an impending downturn? Vermeulen points to the precious metals sector—gold, silver, platinum, and palladium—as a critical barometer.

 Historically, the performance of these metals relative to equities has been a reliable indicator of market tops and forthcoming corrections.

 He draws chilling parallels to the 2007-2008 financial collapse, noting similar price movements in gold leading up to that crisis. This isn’t just about diversification; it’s about paying attention to the market’s own internal warning signals.

A cornerstone of Vermeulen’s philosophy is the importance of discarding unreliable economic data and political rhetoric. Instead, he advocates for focusing purely on “price action and money flow.” The market tells its own story, and by learning to read it, investors can gain a clearer, less biased perspective.

Vermeulen underscores the unique value of holding cash during a market reset. It’s not about missing out on small gains; it’s about preserving your principal and gaining the ultimate flexibility to capitalize when others are in distress.

The episode closes with a powerful message: a major, swift, and potentially life-changing financial event is likely imminent.

 For those nearing or in retirement, protecting your capital isn’t just an option—it’s paramount to your financial future.

 Having a clear, well-rehearsed capital protection strategy will be the deciding factor in whether you merely survive the coming storms or indeed, truly thrive in their aftermath.

Don’t wait until it’s too late. Arm yourself with knowledge and a plan.
