Tishwash:  KRG Prime Minister Welcomes USKBC Delegation as Kurdistan Deepens Business Ties with American Investors

Meeting highlights investment reforms, sectoral opportunities, and the Kurdistan Region’s expanding role as a secure hub for U.S. capital.

Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani on Sunday received a delegation from the U.S.-Kurdistan Business Council (USKBC), led by its President David Tafuri, as the autonomous region continues to position itself as one of the Middle East’s most open and secure environments for American and diaspora investment.

The meeting was held as the Kurdistan Region deepens economic engagement with U.S. companies, driven in part by its foreign-investor-friendly legal framework and an expanding strategy to attract diaspora capital—especially from Assyrian, Chaldean, and Syriac communities seeking to rebuild commercial and cultural links with their ancestral homeland.

At the start of the meeting, Tafuri congratulated Prime Minister Barzani on the outcome of Iraq’s recent parliamentary elections and outlined the purpose of the delegation’s visit, stressing the Council’s commitment to expanding American commercial partnerships across the Kurdistan Region.

He also briefed KRG officials on the composition of the visiting delegation, which includes U.S. business leaders, legal experts, and investors exploring opportunities in key economic sectors.

Prime Minister Barzani provided an overview of recent political developments in both the Kurdistan Region and Iraq, underscoring the KRG’s institutional reforms and improved governance under the ninth cabinet.

He highlighted major advancements in the energy sector—particularly natural gas development—as well as ongoing measures to modernize the region’s economic infrastructure and regulatory environment.

Barzani reiterated the government’s strong commitment to enabling and expanding the presence of American companies in the Kurdistan Region.

The visit follows a larger U.S. and Assyrian-American economic outreach effort to the Kurdistan Region, where diaspora entrepreneurs have been examining long-term opportunities supported by Investment Law No. 4 of 2006.

The law allows 100 percent foreign ownership, long-term land use rights, significant tax exemptions, and full repatriation of profits—legal advantages unmatched elsewhere in Iraq, where federal regulations require majority local ownership.

These policies have created renewed momentum for Assyrian diaspora investment, as communities seek sustainable ways to preserve their heritage while fostering economic resilience in historic areas like Ankawa, Alqosh, Amedi, and the broader Nineveh Plains.

During recent meetings with senior KRG officials, including PM Barzani and Board of Investment Chairman Mohammad Shukri, U.S.-based Assyrian investors discussed a range of potential ventures in education, healthcare, agriculture, tourism, and cultural preservation.

On Saturday evening, Board of Investment spokesperson Bargasht Akrayee confirmed that Tafuri’s delegation would meet with top KRG officials, investors, and business leaders across the region to explore joint projects. The USKBC—an influential Washington-based organization—has long played a key role in promoting U.S.-Kurdistan economic ties, frequently organizing visits for American businesses seeking to enter the Kurdish market.

The Kurdistan Region’s comparative stability, legal predictability, and investor-friendly climate have gained growing attention among U.S. business circles. For diaspora groups—particularly Assyrians—the region offers a rare opportunity to build commercial ventures with full ownership, legal protections under international arbitration standards, and a political environment supportive of minority rights.

“This is a historic moment for Assyrians who wish to invest in their homeland,” said Alexander Karana, an American attorney who accompanied the recent delegation, in an analysis published by Global Strat View.

Karana emphasized that the Kurdistan Region’s investment laws allow diaspora communities to participate in economic growth “with dignity, security, and purpose,” reinforcing both cultural identity and long-term communal stability.

As Prime Minister Barzani continues to encourage foreign and diaspora investment, the meeting with the USKBC delegation signals a broader KRG strategy: leveraging international partnerships, nurturing minority-led economic initiatives, and transforming the Kurdistan Region into a regional hub for sustainable, diversified, and globally connected development.  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

The Liquidity Crunch Nobody Sees Coming
IMF warnings reveal cracks beneath the global FX system.

Overview

• IMF analysts warn that liquidity risks in the $9.6 trillion daily FX market are deeper than regulators acknowledge.

• Growth forecasts are weakening, increasing stress on banks, credit markets, and non-bank institutions.

• Global liquidity backstops, especially U.S. swap lines, may not be sufficient for a major systemic event.

Key Developments

• Regulators are being urged to upgrade stress tests to reflect real-time FX vulnerabilities.

• Central banks are evaluating whether current swap-line systems need restructuring.

• Non-bank financial firms show rising leverage, particularly in derivatives markets.

Why It Matters
Stress in FX markets can cascade through the entire global system. A liquidity shock would impact trade, credit markets, and sovereign financing.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Finance Reform — A redesigned global liquidity framework may emerge.

• Pillar: Systemic Resilience — Expect stronger global oversight of currency risk and cross-border leverage.

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

The Quiet Revolt Against Dollar Power
Central banks explore alternatives as geopolitical fragmentation expands.

Overview

• Countries are questioning the long-term reliability of U.S. dollar swap lines.

• Emerging blocs like BRICS-Plus are designing settlement systems outside Western frameworks.

• Economic fragmentation is rising, and global institutions are sounding alarms.

Key Developments

• Several central banks are evaluating new regional liquidity agreements.

• Settlements in non-dollar assets are increasing, especially for energy and commodities.

• Policymakers warn that geopolitical tension could trigger instability in international bond markets.

Why It Matters
When nations pursue independent, non-dollar financial plumbing, the balance of global power shifts. The world is moving from a unipolar monetary system to a multipolar one.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Geopolitical Realignment — Expect deeper integration among regional blocs.

• Pillar: Monetary Sovereignty — Nations may accelerate efforts to reduce dollar reliance.

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

Markets Look Calm — But the System Is Shaking
Hidden leverage and AI-driven trading spark warnings about systemic fragility.

Overview

• Global institutions warn that asset prices may be inflated relative to underlying fundamentals.

• High-risk exposure is concentrated in non-bank financial institutions with limited oversight.

• Growth downgrades and rate uncertainty are exposing vulnerabilities.

Key Developments

• AI-driven trading systems may trigger flash events not captured by current reporting frameworks.

• Derivatives leverage appears increasingly opaque.

• Debt levels remain elevated across sovereign, corporate, and consumer markets.

Why It Matters
A sudden liquidity event or geopolitical shock could generate rapid contagion. Markets are more interconnected — and more fragile — than most investors realize.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Risk Redistribution — Expect reforms in derivatives, leverage caps, and non-bank oversight.

• Pillar: Market Transparency — New global reporting frameworks for AI-driven systems may emerge.

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

Gold Returns to the Throne
Central banks accelerate accumulation as trust in fiat weakens.

Overview

• Central bank gold purchases are rising at the fastest pace in modern history.

• New financial systems are being designed around physical-asset settlement.

• Gold is reemerging as a core pillar of sovereign reserve strategy.

Key Developments

• Multiple countries have increased strategic gold reserves this year.

• Commodity-backed settlement networks are being tested between Eurasian partners.

• A global narrative shift is underway: gold as collateral, not speculation.

Why It Matters
Gold is being positioned as the neutral reserve asset in a world of political fragmentation and fiat volatility.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Asset-Backed Currency — Expect hybrid systems tying currency to physical reserves.

• Pillar: Reserve Realignment — Gold’s rising share may diminish reliance on U.S. debt instruments.

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

Government Advisor: Amending The Commercial Agency Law Supports Iraq's Requirements For Joining The World Trade Organization
 
Baghdad – WAA – Nassar Al-Hajj  The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Sunday that the Cabinet’s approval of the draft law   amending the Commercial Agency Regulation Law would   support Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization and   improve market efficiency by      reducing prices and      raising the quality of goods, as well as      supporting investment and integration into the global economy. 

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA):   “The first amendment to the existing Commercial Agency Regulation Law represents an important legislative reform that    enhances competitiveness,    improves the quality of goods and services, and    supports investment and integration into the global economy,” noting that “the amendment also contributes to building a more     disciplined and    equitable market, which   will directly impact   economic growth and   consumer protection in Iraq.” 

 He added that "this amendment comes to address the gaps that appeared    during the application of the law since 2017,    whose main goal was and still is to        promote and regulate commercial activity and        improve the business environment in Iraq." 

He explained that  “the motives for the amendment are directed towards important axes, including   addressing cases of actual monopoly by some commercial agencies   in key sectors such as      sensitive devices,      consumer goods, and others,
 
as well as the need for more precise regulation of the relationship    between foreign companies and local agents        in accordance with international standards, with the necessity of raising the level of    transparency and    disclosure in registering agencies and    documenting their contracts,” noting that “all the contents of the amendment are consistent with the    need to protect the consumer from   substandard goods and    weak after-sales services, as we have explained,  which drain the    consumer and the    national economy.” 

He stated that "the amendment comes to support the state's direction towards    improving the investment environment and    attracting global companies directly to the national market." 

He stated that "the most prominent aspects of the amendment are based on    opening the field to greater competition between agents and    preventing disguised monopolies,    tightening registration and auditing procedures        for commercial agencies through the Ministry of Commerce, in addition to clearer and stronger regulation of contracts    between the local agent and the foreign supplier,
 
which enhances the rights of both parties, and   obligating agents to higher standards of      quality,      warranty and      maintenance, as well as    strengthening    governmental and tax oversight and    digitization in agency procedures, and    providing an important entry point towards building a   competitive and fair market away from the dominance of closed agencies, and     supporting the requirements for the country's     accession to the World Trade Organization by      enhancing transparency and competition." 

He added that  "amending the law also leads to strengthening national supply chains, encouraging local manufacturing, and  establishing a stable and attractive legal environment for foreign direct investment that is consistent with global quality standards in developing the business environment,  which is the focus of the    World Bank and    international trade and    economic organizations."

He pointed out that "the  implications of amending the existing Commercial Agencies Regulation Law are embodied in providing important economic pathways, foremost among them  improving market efficiency by   reducing prices and
    raising the quality of goods as a result of increased competition, in addition to    attracting new international companies and brands to the Iraqi market,    reducing the restrictions imposed by monopolies,    stimulating local investment in the fields of        distribution,        logistics and        commercial services, in addition to        protecting the consumer and        providing better products with more committed after-sales services, and        increasing state evenues by    controlling tax compliance and  regulating import operations."      https://ina.iq/ar/economie/248050-.html

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

From Policy to Power: BRICS Diplomacy Driving the 2025 Reset

Diplomacy and peace initiatives are now central levers in the Global Reset, reshaping both governance and financial architecture.

Part I — Q1 & Q2 2025: Institutional Shift & Governance Reform

Diplomacy crosses into financial architecture.

Overview

• In H1 2025, BRICS consolidated its push for governance reform, calling for deep changes in IMF representation and voting power.

• Finance ministers united on a quota‑realignment proposal and emphasized local-currency settlement systems.

Key Developments

• BRICS finance ministers issued a joint statement promoting IMF quota reforms to boost the voice of developing economies. 

• Proposal includes formula based on GDP and PPP to reflect real economic weight. 

• Commitments to cross-border local-currency payment platforms signal early infrastructure planning. 

Why It Matters
This early-year push lays the foundation for a multipolar order less dependent on Western dominance.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Institutional Reformation: Shift in global governance in favor of emerging powers.

• Pillar 2 – Financial Sovereignty: Local currency trade strengthens autonomy.

• Pillar 3 – Strategic Economic Platforms: BRICS payment rails emerge.

Part II — Q2 & Q3 2025: Expansion & South‑South Cooperation

New members, broader ambition.

Overview

• BRICS expands, deepening its role as a voice for the Global South and strengthening cross-regional diplomacy.

• Calls for IMF reform gain leverage with new members, like Indonesia, boosting geopolitical and economic weight.

Key Developments

• Public backing for quota reforms in the 17th General Review of IMF quotas. 

• Expansion strengthens South-South alliances and regional trade cohesion. 

• Local-currency payment mechanisms are being operationalized. 

Why It Matters
BRICS is evolving from symbolic coalition to a governing force capable of reshaping global financial structures.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Institutional Reformation: Expanded membership strengthens credibility.

• Pillar 2 – Financial Sovereignty: Local currency systems operationalized.

• Pillar 3 – Diplomatic Infrastructure: Hub for political alignment beyond Western systems.

Part III — Q3 & Q4 2025: Tensions, Signaling & Future Pathways

From unity to friction — but with persistent ambition.

Overview

• Tensions emerge as members debate ambition vs. practical coordination.

• BRICS positions itself as a normative counterweight to Western-dominated financial and political institutions.

Key Developments

• Divergent views on reform implementation highlight internal challenges. 

• Calls for merit-based leadership at IMF and World Bank reflect push for equitable representation.

Why It Matters
BRICS’ ambition is clear, and even internal friction demonstrates the pressure building for global institutional change.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Institutional Reformation: Meritocratic leadership challenges old power structures.

• Pillar 2 – Financial Sovereignty: Local-currency networks expand.

• Pillar 3 – Diplomatic Infrastructure: Even with internal debate, BRICS forces global actors to recognize a new order.

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

BRICS Signs 70+ Cooperation Pacts as Global Dollar Dependence Declines  

International Forum Marks a Major Step in the Shift Toward a Multipolar Financial System

Overview

• BRICS nations and 75 participating countries signed more than 70 cooperation agreements across finance, digitalization, technology, and cultural exchange.

• Russia–China trade reached €104 billion, reinforcing the shift toward regional financial partnerships.

• The scale of participation signals growing global alignment outside the traditional Western-led system.

• Many of the pacts directly support expansion of local-currency trade and reduced reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Key Developments

• 75 nations joined the International Municipal BRICS Forum in St. Petersburg, marking one of the largest diplomatic events outside Western institutions.

• Local-currency settlement expansion was repeatedly emphasized by major participants, including Russia, China, India, and several Gulf and African nations.

• Agreements included digital infrastructure, urban development, smart-city technologies, and cross-border payment innovations.

• Officials described BRICS coordination as the foundation of a new rules-based system centered on sovereignty and economic balance, not dollar hegemony.

Why It Matters
The forum’s 70+ cooperation pacts show coordinated global movement toward financial self-sufficiency, shifting economic power away from a single dominant reserve currency and toward a distributed, multipolar model.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Finance & Currency Sovereignty
BRICS’ heavy emphasis on local-currency settlements accelerates the transition away from dollar-centric systems and expands alternative payment rails.

Pillar 2 — Trade & Digital Integration
Cross-border digital infrastructure commitments strengthen the backbone of the emerging global network that underpins non-USD trade.

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

They are About to Flood the Market with Liquidity

They are About to Flood the Market with Liquidity

Heresy Financial:  11-15-2025

The financial markets have been on edge, with whispers of liquidity concerns and economic slowdowns dominating headlines.

But what if I told you that a significant shift is on the horizon? Over the next several months, we’re poised to witness a substantial influx of both monetary easing and fiscal stimulus, poised to reshape the financial landscape.

This isn’t just a minor adjustment; we’re talking about a confluence of changes from both the Federal Reserve and the government that are collectively set to ease financial conditions and potentially inject a much-needed boost into our markets and economy.

The Federal Reserve is signaling an end to its quantitative tightening (QT) phase. While this means the Fed’s balance sheet will stabilize, the real action lies in a maneuver known as “Operation Twist.” In essence, the Fed will continue to reduce its holdings of mortgage-backed securities (MBS) while simultaneously accumulating Treasury bills (T-bills).

What does this mean for you? This strategic shift will move liquidity away from housing finance markets and into government debt markets.

 While this could indeed support lower borrowing rates for the government, it’s worth noting that the housing market might experience some tightening as a result.

The anticipated resolution of the government shutdown is set to bring a wave of pent-up government spending from the Treasury General Account back into the economy. This isn’t just about getting the wheels of government turning again; it means former government workers will resume their incomes and spending habits, providing a direct initiation of economic activity. For the stock market, this could translate into renewed optimism and potentially higher prices.

Adding to this fiscal push is a proposed $2,000 tariff rebate stimulus. While the specifics are still being ironed out, the intention is to flow much-needed funds into the economy.

 However, it’s crucial to understand the financing mechanism: this stimulus is expected to be funded by increased government borrowing. In essence, this is a form of money printing that could fuel not only asset price inflation but also general inflation across the board.

Beyond policy actions, there’s a subtle yet significant shift happening within the Federal Reserve’s leadership ranks. With multiple vacancies expected and likely replacements aligned with the current administration’s preference for lower interest rates, we can anticipate a more dovish monetary policy stance emerging. This signals a potential leaning towards accommodative policies that could further ease financial conditions.

Individually, each of these factors might not seem like a market-mover of epic proportions. However, when viewed collectively, they represent a significant and deliberate shift towards easier monetary and fiscal conditions.

Given the current market sentiment, where fear and liquidity concerns have loomed large, this impending wave of stimulus and easing could be the catalyst for unexpected bullish momentum.

We could be looking at a period of robust economic activity and potential inflationary pressures building in both the economy and the financial markets over the next 6 to 12 months.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

 Diplomatic Reset 2025: Global Realignments Accelerate

Powerful blocs are reordering financial systems, not just politics — diplomacy is becoming a tool of the Global Reset.

Overview

• 2025 is shaping up as a watershed year in geopolitical finance: BRICS nations are pushing unified governance reform, and cross-regional alliances are deepening.

• The diplomatic architecture reinforcing the Global Reset is built on de-dollarization, IMF reform, and payment-system alternatives.

• These emerging alignments are recalibrating global economic influence — not just through markets, but through sustained political cooperation.

Key Developments

• BRICS Finance Ministers Propose IMF Reform: In a major show of unity, BRICS called for quota realignment at the IMF — pushing for increased influence for developing economies. 

• De-Dollarization Intensifies: Analysts note Russia and China leading in non-dollar trade and payment innovations, including currency swaps and local-currency settlements. 

• BRICS–MENA Diplomacy Expands: BRICS’ institutional reach in the Middle East is growing, spurring geopolitical cohesion across Africa and MENA states.

• U.S.–BRICS Tension Remains High: Trump has threatened additional tariffs on nations supporting anti-dollar BRICS policies, signaling growing geopolitical friction. 

• Multipolar Governance Vision Gains Traction: Prominent BRICS and Global South states are increasingly calling for a rules-based order that bypasses traditional Western-led institutions.

Why It Matters

These aren’t just diplomatic shifts — they are structural disruptions. Emerging economies are not merely aligning politically; they are building parallel financial and institutional power. The Global Reset is being brokered not only in boardrooms but also in summits and payment-system negotiations.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Institutional Reformation:
BRICS-led calls to reform the IMF and global governance architecture reflect long-term efforts to rebalance power away from Western-centric institutions.

Pillar 2 — Financial Sovereignty:
De-dollarization and new payment rails amplify national control over finance and reduce exposure to geopolitical leverage from the U.S. dollar.

Pillar 3 — Diplomatic Infrastructure:
Cross-regional cooperation (BRICS + MENA + Global South) is laying the diplomatic foundation for a multi-pillar financial order built on trust, not coercion.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 11-16-25

Foreign reserves are a pillar of monetary stability
Economic 16/11/2025  Baghdad: Al-Sabah  Economic researcher Dr. Nabil Rahim Al-Abadi explained that foreign currency reserves have reached approximately $100 billion,which    covers the issued local currency amounting to about 98.4 trillion dinars,    registering a decrease of 3.8% compared to the same period last year.  

The period from 2024. 

Al-Abadi added in an interview with Al-Sabah that the decline in the value of the local currency contributed to a    decrease in the inflation rate to 0.8%, a    decrease of 76% compared to 2024,    which had a significant impact on maintaining the general price level.

 He added that   foreign reserves at their current rate are sufficient to cover the equivalent  of 18 months of imports, in addition to the fact that the precautionary reserve of gold reached about 167 tons,    which ranks fourth in the Arab world and thirtyth globally    according to the World Gold Council, noting that it     constitutes an important part of Iraq’s foreign reserves, as it recorded a large growth rate of 55% until the first half of 2025, as   its value reached about 22.8 trillion dinars compared to   its value of 14.7 trillion dinars in the second half of 2024, and that the safe investments of the reserves contributed greatly to the    growth of investment portfolios, accompanied by good    growth rates in returns to investment portfolios. 

He stressed that  the growth rates achieved in foreign reserveswere consistent with the Central Bank’s plan to    enhance returns and    build capacity in the field of self-management of reserves,  which enabled the    establishment of international banking relationships and the    entry into agreements and memoranda of understanding with   classified global banks,  reputable financial institutions,   international financing and consulting organizations, the   Arab Monetary Fund, and    international institutions concerned with investment management.
 
It also contributed to helping banksbuild international banking relationships with correspondent banksin accordance with the Central Bank’s plan to    regulate foreign trade financing and    implement the comprehensive banking reform program.      https://alsabaah.iq/123565-.html

Tishwash:  US State Department: Elected Iraqi leaders have the authority to form the next government

The US State Department confirmed on Saturday that the parties and political forces that won the sixth parliamentary elections in Iraq, which were recently held, can proceed with forming the new federal government.

A spokesperson for the US State Department congratulated the Iraqi people on the "peaceful" elections, adding that "their elected leaders now have the sovereign authority to determine the formation of the next Iraqi government."

He affirmed that "we will continue to strengthen US-Iraqi relations based on mutual respect and common interests."

Last Thursday, the US President’s Special Envoy to Iraq, Mark Savva, offered his sincere congratulations to the Iraqi people on the successful completion of the recent parliamentary elections, considering it “a fundamental step to strengthen democracy and stability in the country.”

The US envoy affirmed that "the United States remains strongly committed to supporting Iraq's sovereignty, reform efforts, and reducing foreign interference and armed groups," noting that his country "looks forward to working with the Iraqi government to deepen the strategic partnership in the areas of security, energy, and development, and to contribute to building a stable and prosperous future for all Iraqis."

On the ninth and eleventh of November, Iraq held special and general voting in the parliamentary elections for the sixth parliamentary session, as part of a democratic practice in the political process that emerged after 2003 through the overthrow of the former Baath regime by the forces of the United States of America and its allies.  link

Tishwash:  Government advisor: Amending the Commercial Agency Law supports Iraq's requirements for joining the World Trade Organization

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed on Sunday that the Cabinet’s approval of the draft law amending the Commercial Agency Regulation Law would support Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization and improve market efficiency by reducing prices and raising the quality of goods, as well as supporting investment and integration into the global economy. 

Saleh told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): “The first amendment to the existing Commercial Agency Regulation Law represents an important legislative reform that enhances competitiveness, improves the quality of goods and services, and supports investment and integration into the global economy,” noting that “the amendment also contributes to building a more disciplined and equitable market, which will directly impact economic growth and consumer protection in Iraq.”

He added that "this amendment comes to address the gaps that appeared during the application of the law since 2017, whose main goal was and still is to promote and regulate commercial activity and improve the business environment in Iraq."

He explained that “the motives for the amendment are directed towards important axes, including addressing cases of actual monopoly by some commercial agencies in key sectors such as sensitive devices, consumer goods, and others, as well as the need for more precise regulation of the relationship between foreign companies and local agents in accordance with international standards, with the necessity of raising the level of transparency and disclosure in registering agencies and documenting their contracts,”

Noting that “all the contents of the amendment are consistent with the need to protect the consumer from substandard goods and weak after-sales services, as we have explained, which drain the consumer and the national economy.”

He stated that "the amendment comes to support the state's direction towards improving the investment environment and attracting global companies directly to the national market."

He stated that "the most prominent aspects of the amendment are based on opening the field to greater competition between agents and preventing disguised monopolies, tightening registration and auditing procedures for commercial agencies through the Ministry of Commerce

In addition to clearer and stronger regulation of contracts between the local agent and the foreign supplier, which enhances the rights of both parties, and obligating agents to higher standards of quality, warranty and maintenance, as well as strengthening governmental and tax oversight and digitization in agency procedures, and providing an important entry point towards building a competitive and fair market away from the dominance of closed agencies, and supporting the requirements for the country's accession to the World Trade Organization by enhancing transparency and competition."

He added that "amending the law also leads to strengthening national supply chains, encouraging local manufacturing, and establishing a stable and attractive legal environment for foreign direct investment that is consistent with global quality standards in developing the business environment, which is the focus of the World Bank and international trade and economic organizations."

He pointed out that "the implications of amending the existing Commercial Agencies Regulation Law are embodied in providing important economic pathways, foremost among them improving market efficiency by reducing prices and raising the quality of goods as a result of increased competition, in addition to attracting new international companies and brands to the Iraqi market

Reducing the restrictions imposed by monopolies, stimulating local investment in the fields of distribution, logistics and commercial services, in addition to protecting the consumer and providing better products with more committed after-sales services, and increasing state revenues by controlling tax compliance and regulating import operations  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Global Reset Weekly — Key Real Developments (Mid-November 2025)

Monetary realignment deepens as central banks pivot to strategic reserves and de-dollarization.

Overview

• Global central banks are continuing to accumulate gold at historically high levels, signaling a structural rebalancing of reserve assets.

• The dollar’s grip is loosening, as some investors question its long-term primacy and nations hedge using non-dollar instruments.

• These moves reflect an intensifying shift toward a multi-asset, de-dollarized financial architecture — major pillars in the global reset.

Key Developments

• According to the World Gold Council, central banks have added 634 tons of gold year-to-date (Q3 2025), a volume well above pre-2022 averages. 

• Emerging market central banks remain among the top buyers: Poland, Kazakhstan, Brazil, and others continue to top the list. 

• According to Wedbush analysis, gold accumulation is part of a deliberate “structural reserve realignment,” with central banks shifting away from dollar-dominated holdings. 

• Gold purchases rebounded in August after a brief pause in July — central banks added another 15 tonnes that month, per IMF-based data. 

• Survey data notably show 95% of central banks expect to increase their gold reserves in the next 12 months — underlining the long-term nature of this trend. 

• Simultaneously, the U.S. dollar has weakened: The DXY (dollar index) dropped to a three-year low, fueling debate over de-dollarization. 

Why It Matters

These developments are not just incremental: they reflect a tactical breakout from the dollar-centric system. By aggressively accumulating gold, central banks are building a real-asset foundation for future financial resilience. This shift could undermine long-standing reserve paradigms and reshape global power in markets and trade.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Reserve Asset Transformation
Gold’s resurgence suggests that central banks are protecting against dollar risk while building stores of value that can weather macro shocks.

Pillar 2 — De-Dollarization & Currency Realignment
A weakening dollar coupled with strategic reserve diversification points to a gradual erosion of dollar dominance — and the rise of alternative monetary frameworks.

Pillar 3 — Strategic Stability Through Real Assets
Gold is not just a store of value — its accumulation signals a strategic buffer for nations seeking independence from traditional financial pressures.

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

Sovereign Gold Buying Signals the End of the Old Market Order

Central banks reshape the foundation of global markets as demand for real assets accelerates.

Overview

• Gold is entering a structural bull phase driven by central bank accumulation, not retail speculation.

• A three-year low in the U.S. dollar index is accelerating demand for non-dollar hedging assets.

• These shifts indicate a long-term market rebalancing aligned with global reserve realignment.

Key Developments

• Central banks purchased 634 tons of gold year-to-date, according to the World Gold Council — one of the highest volumes ever recorded.

• Gold demand rebounded in August as banks added another 15 tons, reversing the July slowdown.

• Analysts at Wedbush identify this trend as part of a “structural reserve realignment,” moving global liquidity out of dollar-dominated instruments.

• The U.S. dollar index hit a three-year low, amplifying gold’s attractiveness for sovereign diversification.

• Survey data show 95% of central banks plan to increase gold reserves in the coming year — strengthening long-term bullish positioning.

Why It Matters

Markets are signaling a fundamental shift away from a dollar-centric reserve system. Gold is reclaiming its historic role as a stabilizing anchor, reducing exposure to fiscal volatility, currency wars, and debt-driven uncertainty.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Real-Asset Reserve Anchors
Gold accumulation strengthens national resilience and reduces vulnerability to dollar liquidity cycles.

Pillar 2 — Market Repricing Through De-Dollarization
A weakening dollar paired with gold accumulation suggests a long-term repricing of global markets.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Morning 11-16-25

Self-Sufficiency Is The Foundation Of Development. 
 
Economic 16/11/2025  Yasser Al-Mutawalli
 
Self-sufficiency is a major and broad concept in the lexicon of economic theories of all kinds, whether
   totalitarian,
   capitalist or mixed,
      because it is the basis of
         development and its
         sustainability.

Our country’s declaration of achieving self-sufficiency in
   gasoline,
   kerosene, and
   gas oil is an important and significant achievement in
      embodying the concept of self-sufficiency, and as a
      fundamental basis for driving development elements,
 
given the importance of this declaration in the economic feasibility of managing one of the main economic management facilities,
 
as the great efforts in this field resulted in the government’s decision to stop importing petroleum products after achieving self-sufficiency in
   gasoline,
   gas oil (kerosene), and
   kerosene.
 
However, there will still be a need for a reasonable review in determining the efficiency of oil refineries, with the importance of providing strategic stores and reserves of energy products to avoid problems of holidays and block the way for sometimes fabricated product crises, as well as imposing strict control over the quality of the product.
 
Overall, this great achievement is an indicator of the optimal investment in energy resources and their preservation from waste.
 
This achievement deserves praise and pride for the numerous gains it will bring in terms of savings in hard currency, as well as diversifying sources of income.
 
It was surprising that the oil-rich country had been importing its oil derivatives for energy since 2003, for two decades.
 
We have been and still are pointing out in most of our articles the importance of investing our resources 

through the establishment and expansion of giant refinery projects, and finally the 

new projects have been put into operation with efficient production capacity and very good quality.
 
Perhaps the most prominent benefit that emerges from this achievement is that
what has been achieved is beyond imagination, as
we have reduced the process of
   exporting quantities of oil at low prices and
   then importing its derivatives at high prices.

If we add the government support for the derivatives that were being wasted,
then you can imagine the size of the differences achieved by this accomplishment,
which will contribute to strengthening the resilience of our national economy.
 
This achievement comes on the eve of the end of 2025, and
we had indicated that the most prominent achievement during this year was the Iraq Vision (2025-2050).
 
Today, this achievement, which I mean self-sufficiency in oil products,
comes to crown the most prominent achievement as one of the most important foundations of economic construction to implement our country’s vision on the
path of sustainable development and to guarantee its future.
 
We believe that this great achievement is so important that
it should not go by without focusing on its great significance,
especially by the economic media, making it
   a slogan and
   a source of pride in our national product.
 
Congratulations to our Iraq and our people on this initial step and a
successful start to
   progress and
   economic prosperity.
