Tishwash:  Trump's envoy receives presidential directives regarding the Iraq file

US President Donald Trump's envoy to Iraq, Mark Savaya, announced that he had received presidential directives regarding the Iraq file, during the Thanksgiving celebration.

"I was honored to receive the directives for the Iraq mission from the Commander-in-Chief," Savaya said in a post on the X platform on Friday, November 28, 2025.

He added, "It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. President, and it was truly an exceptional way to celebrate Thanksgiving."

Mark Savaya, President Donald Trump’s envoy to Iraq, vowed to pursue and hold accountable the armed groups that targeted the Kor Mor gas field, describing them as tools of “hostile foreign agendas,” in the first firm response from the Trump administration to the attack.

In a post on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter), Savaya commented on last night’s attack, saying: “Armed groups operating illegally and driven by hostile foreign agendas carried out the attack on the Kormor field,” demanding that the Iraqi government “identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice immediately.”

A message that is "unequivocal"

President Trump's envoy issued a stern warning to the armed factions, saying: "Let me be clear and unequivocal: there is no place for such armed groups in a fully sovereign Iraq," adding a direct American pledge: "The United States will fully support these efforts... Every illegal armed group and those who support it will be pursued, confronted, and held accountable."

Strong support for Kurdistan

Savaya stressed the firm American position towards the region, affirming that "Washington supports a strong Kurdistan within a unified and stable Iraq."

The US official urged Baghdad and Erbil to "deepen security cooperation and work closely to protect vital economic and energy infrastructure."

Trump's envoy concluded his post by renewing the commitment to help Iraq build its national forces, saying: "Together, we will continue to protect Iraq's resources, defend its sovereignty, and ensure the security and well-being of all its citizens."  link

Tishwash:  Central Bank Governor: Digital currency will solve 90% of the problems in the Iraqi financial system

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, affirmed on Thursday that lasting solutions must be built in a way that closes the gaps in the financial system. He explained that the tools available today, especially modern technology, offer effective solutions and address many of these gaps.

Al-Alaq said during the "Investing in Reconstruction... The Role of Banks" conference in Beirut that "the main problem between the Iraqi treasury and society is the use of the dollar in cash within Iraq, which is a normal social matter in Iraqi society. He added: "We have worked on this issue and presented other alternatives that reduce dependence on cash, and we have developed the financial system so that cash dollars are restricted to travelers only."

He explained that the "traveler's dollar" system prevents any attempts at circumvention, emphasizing that the US Federal Reserve indicated Iraq ranks first in controlling the use of cash dollars within the country. He noted that these measures have reduced the use of foreign currency by 80% and shifted the majority of domestic financial transactions to the Iraqi dinar.

Al-Alaq concluded his remarks by noting that work is underway to develop the digital currency, which is expected to solve about 90% of the financial problems in Iraq, stressing that this step represents one of the radical solutions for the financial system in the country.  link

**************

Tishwash:  Rumors and panic: What’s really behind Iraq’s financial scare?

 Economic confusion spread across Iraq in recent days as claims of “missing funds,” “salary delays,” and “cut livelihoods” circulated widely on social media and some media outlets.

The speculation focused on allegations that nearly $2B had disappeared from the Social Protection Fund of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, coinciding with a brief delay in salary payments for employees in several state institutions.

Fake News

Financial adviser to the caretaker prime minister, Mudher Mohammed Saleh, dismissed the claims as unfounded, describing them as part of a “heated political season” in which negative rumors about Iraq proliferate.

Saleh told Shafaq News that Iraq maintains a strong financial capacity supported by solid oil revenues and non-oil income. He added that salaries, pensions, and social protection programs remain at the top of government priorities, noting that occasional delays can occur for simple technical reasons.

“The current wave of fear-driven narratives has created unnecessary public anxiety,” he said, stressing that Iraq is neither under siege nor at war, and that financial and monetary policies remain focused on ensuring stable living conditions, from food support programs to salaries and infrastructure.

Saleh concluded that talk of salary cuts, a devalued dinar, or economic collapse amounts to “lies built on lies.”

USD Prices Stable

Earlier, the dollar spiked in Iraq’s parallel market as traders reacted to the government’s upcoming 1 December pre-payment customs rule. Most traders halted dollar sales shortly, putting immediate pressure on the parallel rate and causing noticeable volatility across several provinces.

Alaa Al-Fahad, a member of the media office at the Central Bank of Iraq, affirmed that the bank has no intention of changing the official exchange rate of 1,320 dinars per US dollar.

Current monetary policy, he explained, aims to protect this rate, strengthen public confidence in the banking sector, and support Iraq’s international commitments, noting that exchange-rate stability has pushed inflation into negative monthly levels, helping stabilize prices.

Al-Fahad added that fluctuations in the parallel market stem largely from speculation driven by news and rumors, “while the Central Bank continues to finance foreign trade at the official rate and to meet all legitimate dollar requests.”

Financial Risks

Economic expert Nawar Al-Saadi warned that public fears regarding vanished funds or disrupted incomes should not be dismissed as merely another corruption narrative, arguing that such concerns reflect deeper vulnerabilities in the national economy.

Al-Saadi told our agency that Iraq faces structural financial pressures, a diminishing capacity to absorb shocks, as well as administrative and fiscal burdens that undermine public accounts while eroding citizens’ trust in the state.

He said that declining transparency and weak governance increase the cost of public services, raise unemployment, and heighten the risk of protests. Al-Saadi called for urgent steps, including public disclosure of disputed financial files, independent investigations, expanded social protection for low-income families, and reforms to customs and tax systems to boost non-oil revenues.

Over the medium term, he urged restructuring of wages and public spending and directing investment toward productive sectors to reduce reliance on oil and curb waste.

Economic Governance

In a separate assessment, economic expert Karim Al-Halo said meaningful reform cannot be achieved without comprehensive governance of the financial system.

He confirmed to Shafaq News that public and societal funds must be kept within banks and financial institutions to prevent liquidity crises, arguing that “without this step, no serious reform can take hold.”

Al-Halo said Iraq remains behind in this area “either by design, as a result of administrative shortcomings, or due to corruption,” leaving the economy exposed to shocks and vulnerable to any rumor or crisis.  linj

U.S. and Taiwan Advance Trade Talks to Strengthen America’s Semiconductor Workforce

Washington seeks Taiwanese investment, training, and industrial cooperation to close the high-tech skills gap.

Overview

• The Trump administration is negotiating a trade deal with Taiwan aimed at boosting U.S. semiconductor manufacturing capacity and workforce skills.

• Taiwanese firms — including major players such as TSMC — may commit capital, staff, and technical training for U.S. workers.

• Discussions also include possible tariff reductions on certain Taiwanese exports, though semiconductors already enter the U.S. duty-free.

• The proposed partnership would expand U.S.-based operations for Taiwanese advanced-industry giants while preserving their most advanced technologies in Taiwan.

• The deal aligns with the administration’s broader effort to secure supply chains across AI, electronics, and national security sectors.

Key Developments

• Workforce development at the center: U.S. and Taiwanese negotiators are discussing training hubs, on-site skill-transfer programs, and long-term technical exchange.

• Capital investment opportunities: TSMC, Foxconn, and GlobalWafers could expand or accelerate their U.S. facility plans under new trade incentives.

• Strategic competition backdrop: The move positions Washington to compete with South Korea and Japan, both of which have launched massive semiconductor-investment partnerships.

• Geopolitical angle: Beijing is expected to scrutinize the negotiations as deeper Taiwan-U.S. industrial ties raise sensitivities around Taiwan’s political status.

• Tariff considerations: While chip imports are already exempt, tariff adjustments on related high-tech components could shape cross-Pacific supply chains.

Why It Matters
Semiconductors are central to national security, AI leadership, and advanced manufacturing. By importing Taiwanese expertise — the most sophisticated in the world — the U.S. aims to rebuild domestic industrial capacity while reducing strategic dependence on foreign chipmaking. A successful agreement would shift global talent flows, stimulate U.S. high-tech job creation, and alter competitive dynamics among major semiconductor-producing nations.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Industrial Sovereignty & Supply Chain Security: A U.S.-Taiwan training and investment deal bolsters America’s manufacturing resilience and positions it for a larger role in the global semiconductor realignment.

• Pillar — Geopolitical Technology Competition: Strengthened Taiwan-U.S. ties may escalate U.S.–China tensions, influencing trade flows, diplomatic calculations, and the global balance of semiconductor capabilities.

What’s Next
Negotiations remain fluid as officials exchange draft commitments on training, capital investment, and technology-protection boundaries. Any final agreement must reconcile U.S. ambitions for domestic expansion with Taiwan’s priority to safeguard its most advanced chip designs and fabrication processes. Further updates are expected as both sides refine their strategic and economic terms.

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

Sanctions on BRICS Could Spark U.S. Economic Turbulence
New energy-sector pressure and trade-flow disruptions show how targeting BRICS may backfire on the West’s own economies.

Overview

• Recent U.S. sanctions on BRICS-aligned nations have disrupted traditional oil trade flows, forcing countries like India, China, and Brazil to seek alternative suppliers or renegotiate deals.

• Executives at Rosneft warn that sanctions on BRICS will aggravate global supply-chain stress, increase energy-market volatility, and potentially drag down Western economies — including the U.S.

• The shift signals a broader realignment of global energy and trade networks, weakening dollar-centric structures and boosting the strategic value of commodity and resource-rich nations.

Key Developments

• The sanctions were designed to curb oil procurement by BRICS members, but in practice have prompted these nations to diversify supply away from Western-controlled sources.

• Rosneft publicly stated that the aggressive sanctions regime will likely accelerate economic problems in Western countries, as energy prices, inflation, and supply-chain risk rise.

• As BRICS nations reposition trade flows, traditional financial dominance and trade mechanisms — long anchored in the West — face growing strain.

Why It Matters

Sanctions aimed at weakening rival powers may undermine the economic stability of those applying them. By targeting a bloc that controls a significant share of global oil output, Western-led sanctions risk creating blowback in energy costs, inflation, and trade disruption — ultimately harming the U.S. and allied economies.

This dynamic exemplifies a core principle of the emerging global reset: when power is distributed more broadly, attempts to impose unilateral dominance can destabilize the imposed structure itself.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Institutional Realignment & Power Redistribution
As BRICS nations reroute energy and trade flows, dominance of Western-led financial and trade institutions may erode — ushering in alternative systems centered on resource-rich and multipolar alliances.

Pillar: Strategic Commodities as Leverage
Oil, energy, and natural resources become central levers in global economics and politics. Control and access to these commodities may shift — favoring nations aligned with BRICS and away from traditional Western-dominated supply chains.

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

Francis Hunt: First Innings for Gold, Hyper Stagflation & Why Platinum Will Outperform Silver

Palisades Gold Radio:  11-27-2025

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Francis Hunt to the show. Francis Hunt is the Renegade Trader, Analyst, & Founder of The Market Sniper.

 In this wide-ranging discussion, Hunt presents a comprehensive view of the current economic landscape, focusing on precious metals, debt, and potential financial system transformations.

Hunt argues that the world is experiencing a significant economic paradigm shift characterized by debt debasement and financial repression.

 He believes we are in the early stages of a precious metals bull market, with gold, silver, and particularly platinum presenting substantial investment opportunities.

He emphasizes the scarcity of these metals, especially platinum, which he sees as dramatically undervalued compared to its rarity.

Market Disruptors:  11-27-2025

In this conversation, we unpack how fiscal dominance, collapsing Treasury demand, and the end of the post-WWII dollar order are forcing the U.S. toward a new regime built on financial repression, inflation, and neutral settlement assets like gold and Bitcoin.

 Luke explains why the old system can’t survive its own math, what the next monetary era will look like, and how investors can position for the global reset already underway.

Army Suspends Election Process, Declares Rule in Guinea-Bissau  

Military faction declares control one day before contested election results were to be announced.

**********************************************

Overview

• A group of army officers in Guinea-Bissau says it has seized control of the country, forming a “High Military Command for the Restoration of Order.”

• Gunfire was heard near key government buildings in the capital before subsiding after roughly an hour.

• The announcement comes one day before the national electoral commission was expected to release results from a disputed presidential race.

• Both incumbent President Umaro Sissoco Embaló and opposition candidate Fernando Dias had already claimed victory.

• The military command says it will run the nation “until further notice,” suspending civilian authority during the crisis.

Key Developments

• Timing suggests election-related trigger: The power seizure occurred on the eve of the official results announcement, raising questions about military alignment in the political dispute.

• Short-lived but intense unrest: Gunfire around government sites appears to have been aimed at securing strategic locations before the officers issued their public declaration.

• Election process disrupted: The electoral commission is now unable to proceed, placing the entire democratic transition in limbo.

• Potential border closures and institutional paralysis: Reports indicate officers intend to halt normal government functions while the situation stabilizes.

• Military justification: The officers claim they are acting to “restore order,” though no clear evidence of widespread unrest has been provided.

*********************************************

Why It Matters
The sudden military takeover threatens to reverse years of fragile democratic progress in Guinea-Bissau, a nation with a long history of coups and political volatility. The disruption of election results raises the risk of factional violence, undermines investor confidence, and heightens concerns across West Africa — a region already grappling with multiple coups, insurgencies, and governance crises.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Political Stability & Governance Risk: Another West African coup intensifies the region’s instability, shaping global risk assessments and potentially affecting foreign investment, aid conditionality, and multilateral engagement.

• Pillar — Regional Security Dynamics: A power vacuum or disputed control could ripple across ECOWAS states, influencing regional security commitments and international responses to governance breakdowns.

What’s Next
More clarity is expected as the military outlines its transitional roadmap and regional actors respond. ECOWAS and the African Union are likely to pressure the officers to restore constitutional order, while internal factions may mobilize depending on how the political camps react. The suspension of the electoral process could provoke further unrest if supporters of either candidate push back against military control.

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

Tether’s Gold Pivot — Digital Money Meets Old-World Bullion

As fiat instability and regulatory pressure mount, Tether anchors its stablecoin empire in physical gold — reshaping how stablecoin reserves are structured.

Overview

• Tether has amassed roughly 116 tonnes of gold, placing it among the largest non-sovereign holders worldwide.

• The company has shifted from relying on Treasuries and fiat reserves toward hard-asset backing, using gold to hedge against devaluation and regulatory uncertainty.

• Analysts say Tether’s aggressive bullion purchases are tightening physical supply, contributing to price support in global metals markets.

********************************************

Key Developments

• 26 tonnes added in Q3 alone, marking one of the fastest gold-accumulation paces among global financial entities.

• Gold now forms a strategic portion of Tether’s reserve structure, designed to improve resilience against dollar volatility.

• The firm continues expanding its digital-gold instruments, blending physical bullion with blockchain-based assets.

• Tether’s demand has become large enough that analysts now track it as a market-moving buyer, impacting global metals flows.

Why It Matters

Tether’s pivot toward physical gold signals a deeper shift in how digital-asset institutions manage stability and trust. By hedging its reserves with a politically neutral, historically stable commodity, Tether is positioning USDT as a hybrid instrument — one tied to both global liquidity and tangible stores of value. This structure may become increasingly relevant as fiat currencies face rising inflation and geopolitical fragmentation.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Reserve Diversification & Decentralized Collateral
Tether’s move could inspire other financial institutions — including sovereign entities — to explore reserve strategies that reduce dependence on debt-based fiat systems.

Pillar: Real-Asset Anchoring in Digital Finance
The fusion of physical gold with blockchain-based tokens accelerates the transition toward asset-backed digital liquidity, a key feature of emerging multipolar financial architecture.

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

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday 11-27-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  A government advisor reveals the truth about the financial situation in Iraq...no cause for concern.

The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that what is being circulated about Iraq going through a severe financia crisis and being unable to pay salaries is part of a “heated political season in which negative rumors against Iraq abound,” stressing that most of what is being raised is not based on facts.

Saleh adds in a press statement that Iraq has high financial capabilities, including good oil revenues and non-oil revenues, and that the government places salaries, wages, pensions and social welfare at the top of its priorities, explaining that any delay in payment is technical and simple and happens occasionally.

He points out that the current wave of fear-mongering has put citizens in a state of unjustified anxiety, stressing that “Iraq is not a besieged country and is not at war, and the financial and monetary policies are working to ensure a decent life, from the food basket to salaries and infrastructure, and everything that is being raised about cutting salaries or reducing the value of the dinar or an economic collapse is nothing but lies upon lies,” as he put it.  link

Tishwash:  The Iraqi dinar: stable and consistent 

Amidst the analyses and speculations circulating that raise questions about the fate of the national currency, official facts and data confirm that talk of any change in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar is nothing more than speculation that is not based on any sound economic foundation. 

Through a careful reading of the economic reality and the official statements of the Central Bank of Iraq, it becomes clear that the stability of the exchange rate is the fixed strategic option that is being defended with effective monetary tools and a huge balance of foreign reserves.

The Central Bank of Iraq places the stability of the exchange rate at the heart of its priorities, in accordance with the law that governs its work and aims to ensure price stability. The bank’s statements were clear and decisive in denying any intention or the existence of any serious study to reduce the value of the dinar, as such a decision has no economic justification in the current circumstances. 

The facts on the ground speak for themselves clearly: huge foreign reserves exceeding $95 billion form a protective shield that ensures hard currency liquidity and covers all external strengthening needs of the national economy.

The Central Bank’s firm policies have also proven effective in maintaining the stability of the official and parallel exchange rates, as they have succeeded in narrowing the gap between them significantly, supported by the flow of oil revenues, which constitute a stable source of hard currency. This stability in the exchange rate has been a key pillar behind achieving low inflation rates, the lowest in the region, which has contributed to protecting the purchasing power of citizens and maintaining stable living conditions.

The Central Bank remains vigilant against all rumors and ill-considered analyses aimed at undermining confidence in the national currency and creating market instability. It possesses all the necessary regulatory and financial tools to counter such attempts and maintain the stability of the dinar. Exchange rate stability is not merely a number on a screen; it is the cornerstone of the stability of the entire national economy and a guarantee of sustainable development and investor confidence. 

In conclusion, the future of the Iraqi dinar is shaped by a strong economic reality and a wise monetary policy that refuses to be swayed by any pressures or rumors, stressing that stability is the most prominent theme in the coming period.   link

***************

Tishwash:  The 2026 budget is on the planning table... a discussion of the general framework and plans for subsequent years.

The 2026 budget and plans for subsequent years were the focus of a meeting at the Ministry of Planning, where the general framework and proposed projects to be included were discussed.

The ministry stated in a statement , which was reviewed by (Shafaqna Iraq), that “a meeting was held today, Wednesday, to discuss the preparation of the budget for 2026 and the next three years (2026-2027-2028), chaired by the Undersecretary of the Ministry for Technical Affairs, Maher Hammad Johan, and attended by a number of directors general, heads of departments and representatives of relevant departments in the ministry.”

She added that “the meeting’s discussions focused on the general framework of the 2026 budget and plans for subsequent years.”

“Discussions were also held regarding ongoing and new loans and projects proposed for inclusion in the budget, as well as examining the terms of the Chinese framework agreement and the development projects it includes.”

The statement continued, “The meeting also addressed the preparation of appropriate scenarios for the 2026 budget, in preparation for submitting them to decision-makers for approval according to developmental and economic priorities.”  link

Global Markets Lift as Rate-Cut Bets Rise, While Metals and Payments Sectors Flash New Signals

Risk assets rally on shifting Fed expectations as gold strengthens, payment networks expand, and currency volatility builds.

Overview

• Global markets rallied over the past 24 hours as investors priced in a potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cut, boosting equities across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

• Gold climbed to near two-week highs as softer U.S. economic data fueled safe-haven demand and increased expectations of Fed easing.

• The payments sector saw fresh consolidation moves as fintech firms accelerated cross-border settlement partnerships.

• Currency markets shifted as the U.S. dollar weakened on rate-cut expectations, lifting Asian and emerging-market currencies.

• Industrial metals remained mixed, with oversupply concerns weighing on lead and other battery-related metals.

Key Developments

• Equity markets extended multi-session gains in the U.S. and Asia as investors pivoted toward risk assets on renewed optimism for monetary easing.

• Gold strengthened amid tepid U.S. data, remaining buoyed by safe-haven flows and expectations of a softer dollar environment.

• Cross-border payments expanded as MOIN deepened its partnership with Nium, signaling continued growth in global remittances and digital settlement infrastructure.

• Cryptocurrency adoption accelerated, with new reports showing rising use of Bitcoin and stablecoins as financial lifelines in emerging economies.

• Base metals diverged, with crude oil and copper rising while aluminum and lead remained pressured by oversupply.

Why It Matters
The evolving macro landscape—driven by softening U.S. economic indicators—suggests markets are transitioning into a rate-cut environment. This shift is driving demand for risk assets and safe-haven metals simultaneously, while FX volatility and global payments expansion point to a broader realignment in global capital flows. The combination of stronger gold, rising equities, and shifting currency dynamics reflects an early-stage repositioning in anticipation of looser monetary policy.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Monetary Shift & Market Repricing: The growing likelihood of a Fed rate cut is reshaping global asset valuations, strengthening both risk-on and safe-haven segments.

• Pillar — Digital and Cross-Border Payments Expansion: Fintech partnerships are accelerating, reinforcing a move toward faster, decentralized, and globally connected financial rails.

What’s Next
Markets will closely watch upcoming U.S. economic releases and Fed communications for confirmation of a December pivot. Metals investors will monitor supply-chain data for clarity on base-metal oversupply trends, while FX markets may see further volatility if the dollar continues to soften. Payment-sector partnerships are likely to expand as global remittance volumes rise and demand for digital settlement intensifies.

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

Israel Launches Major New Operation in Northern West Bank

Israeli forces mount a large-scale counter-terrorism raid centred on Tubas as northern West Bank deployments expand.

Overview

• Israeli security forces launched a large-scale, multi-agency operation in the northern West Bank focused on Tubas.

• Residents were ordered from homes; forces reportedly used helicopter fire, occupied rooftops and made arrests.

• Israeli authorities confirmed an early-morning operation involving the army, police and intelligence services but provided few public details.

• The raid appears to be an extension of a months-long campaign that began in Jenin and has spread across multiple northern West Bank cities.

• Human rights groups have increased scrutiny this month, renewing allegations of forced expulsions that Israel denies.

Key Developments

• Encirclement and house-to-house activity in Tubas: Local officials report neighbourhoods sealed off, mass displacements and prolonged deployments.

• Expanded operational footprint: The Tubas raid fits a pattern since January of deeper, more sustained deployments in northern West Bank population centres.

• Civilian impact: Orders barring residents from returning to their homes and reports of infrastructure damage have increased displacement and humanitarian stress.

• International scrutiny: Human Rights Watch and others have raised rights and accountability concerns; diplomatic reactions are likely to grow amid allegations of serious abuses.

• Security rationale declared by Israel: Officials frame the operation as necessary to dismantle armed groups and prevent attacks amid rising militancy across the West Bank.

Why It Matters
The intensifying campaign in the northern West Bank amplifies volatility after the Gaza ceasefire. Sustained military pressure risks deepening displacement, further eroding the Palestinian Authority’s limited governance capacity, and provoking greater international scrutiny and diplomatic friction.

Greater instability in the West Bank also raises the probability of retaliatory violence and heightened settler-Palestinian clashes that would complicate regional security and humanitarian responses.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar — Regional Stability & Political Risk: Continued operations and displacement increase geopolitical risk in a strategically sensitive region, affecting investor risk assessments and regional supply-chain confidence in sectors tied to Middle East stability.

• Pillar — Humanitarian & Legal Accountability: Escalating rights allegations may prompt broader international legal and diplomatic pressure, influencing bilateral aid decisions, multilateral engagement, and the calculus of states balancing security cooperation with rights concerns.

What’s Next
Israeli forces are expected to maintain an elevated presence in Tubas for several days, with more operational details to be released by military authorities. The campaign may further expand across northern West Bank towns unless diplomatic pressure or political shifts alter Israel’s operational tempo. Key risks to monitor in the coming days include increased displacement figures, new rights investigations, and spikes in settler-related violence.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 11-27-25

Foreign Minister: Effective Consular Work Opens Up Opportunities For Companies And Investors To Enter The Market

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 | Politics Number of views: 229   Baghdad/ NINA / Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein affirmed on Wednesday that effective consular work opens doors for companies and investors.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Washington’s New Crypto Power Play: CFTC Launches CEO Council to Shape Digital Asset Rules

Regulator moves to fill leadership vacuum as U.S. market structure hangs in the balance

Overview

• The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has opened nominations for a new CEO Innovation Council designed to guide U.S. policy on crypto assets, prediction markets, and emerging financial technologies.

• Acting Chair Caroline Pham said the council will help the agency respond to its expanding role in overseeing digital asset markets.

• The move comes during an unprecedented leadership gap at the CFTC, with only one sitting commissioner and a pending confirmation vote for incoming nominee Michael Selig.

Key Developments

• The CFTC will accept CEO nominations until Dec. 8, with the new council expected to advise on digital asset frameworks, market oversight, and the agency’s broadened mandate.

• Pham emphasized the need for “expert industry leaders” as the agency prepares to regulate crypto markets, building on earlier initiatives such as the “Crypto Sprint” and digital asset policy forums.

• Nominee Michael Selig signaled strong support for more active federal oversight, calling it “vitally important” to establish a clear enforcement presence in spot digital asset commodity markets.

• The next chairmanship carries major implications: future CFTC leadership will influence stablecoin treatment, derivatives market innovation, and U.S. competitiveness in financial technology.

Why It Matters

The U.S. regulatory environment is undergoing a rapid recalibration as digital assets, tokenized markets, and prediction platforms move into the financial mainstream.

By building a CEO-led policy council, the CFTC is positioning itself to shape the next phase of crypto oversight—especially as Congress advances market structure legislation and the agency seeks to expand its jurisdiction.

This transitional moment reflects a broader shift toward integrated regulation of traditional and digital markets, with major consequences for innovation, compliance, and institutional adoption.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Regulatory Modernization

The CEO Innovation Council signals a move toward more structured, institutional oversight of digital assets—bringing the U.S. closer to a formalized regulatory architecture that blends old and new financial systems.

Pillar: Market Legitimization & Institutional Access

Clearer rules from the CFTC could accelerate institutional participation in crypto markets, affecting global liquidity flows and shaping how digital commodities integrate into cross-border finance.

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

US Absence at G20 Stirs New Tensions: BRICS Official Warns of “Dangerous Precedent”

Washington’s boycott raises questions about multilateral stability ahead of the 2026 summit

Overview

• A BRICS Business Council member sharply criticized the United States for boycotting the G20 Summit in Johannesburg.

• The remarks framed the US decision as harmful to global institutions and contrary to the norms of multilateral cooperation.

• The episode highlights widening fractures between Western-led governance structures and emerging-market coalitions such as BRICS.

Key Developments

• The BRICS Council member stated that powerful nations should not “hijack” multilateral institutions for political reasons, calling the US boycott a “bad precedent.”

• He noted that BRICS does not boycott its own members and urged G20 nations — including the US — to uphold similar principles of participation and respect.

• With the 2026 G20 Summit scheduled to be hosted in the US, he warned that a reciprocal boycott from other nations would be “embarrassing” for Washington.

• He cautioned that continued unilateral behavior by the US could generate friction across global institutions at a time when cooperation is already strained.

Why It Matters

The dispute exposes deeper tensions about who shapes global governance in a multipolar world. Emerging blocs like BRICS are seeking stronger voices, arguing that established powers — particularly the US — must respect collective processes or risk undermining the legitimacy of institutions like the G20.

As global finance and diplomatic alliances realign, incidents like this accelerate a long-term shift toward new centers of influence outside the traditional Western system.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Institutional Realignment

Pressure is building for reforms that reduce reliance on US leadership within multinational institutions, opening the door for new governance models aligned with BRICS priorities.

Pillar: Power Redistribution

If the US continues to sit out key forums, emerging economies may consolidate greater control over global economic coordination — reshaping the frameworks of trade, development finance, and geopolitical cooperation.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday Evening 11-26-25

Pressure On The Central Bank To Change The Exchange Rate Constitutes Interference With Its Independence

Samir Al-Nassiri   After the announcement of the final election results, and for the political and self-serving interests of some influential figures, speculators, and traders who deal in illegal trade through direct transfers outside the controls of the Central Bank, official border crossings, and the new instructions for prior customs registration starting from 12/1/2025, which ensure control over the government's customs revenues.

About a week ago, media pressure began, directed by some specialists, non-specialists, and self-proclaimed analysts who frequently appear on media channels with vested interests and on social media, with the aim of disrupting the Iraqi market, which has remained stable throughout 2025 due to the wise monetary policies and efforts made by the Central Bank, which maintained the general price level and kept the inflation rate below 1%, controlled the money supply, and built sufficient foreign reserves to cover the local currency in circulation and cover imports.

He is currently implementing an ambitious project for a comprehensive and radical reform of the banking sector. He receives continuous praise from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the US Treasury for the steps he has taken in implementing monetary policy over the past three years. Since December 19, 2020, when the exchange rate was adjusted by the Central Bank under pressure from the previous government, and up to the present time, the exchange rate of the dinar has continued to fluctuate up and down in the parallel market, even after it was adjusted again in 2023.

Due to the Central Bank's measures mentioned above, relative stability has been achieved despite all the internal and external challenges, and all the speculators' plans to weaken the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar have failed.

We must also not forget, clearly and precisely, that there is an organized lobby working against achieving monetary stability, led and implemented by multiple entities linked to speculators and corrupt individuals who have a special agenda to weaken and harm the national economy by fabricating news and statements, spreading rumors and flawed and paid economic analyses, and turning them from reassuring news for the market and citizens into news that confuses the market and creates panic among citizens.

This is what is actually happening now, which requires clarification here, as it has been happening for about ten years.

Particularly after the financial and security shocks of mid-2014, a culture of reliance on the central bank to confront economic and financial crises and challenges became entrenched.

This is done by using its monetary policy tools and mechanisms to overcome the government's liquidity shortage and its inability to pay salaries on time, as well as the failure of fiscal policy by relying on foreign currency reserves.

These reserves are not, in reality, the government's reserves, but rather the central bank's reserves, used to control the stability of the exchange rate, according to the target, and to address the balance of payments deficit.

The central bank has been burdened with the problems of other stakeholders, which is not its primary role. It is not responsible for the shortfall in non-oil revenues, the balance of payments deficit, the trade deficit, or the fluctuations in global oil prices. Therefore, foreign currency reserves have risen and fallen due to these flawed policies, which are not based on a clear and defined economic strategy or methodology.

Therefore, the return of stability to the exchange rate to its targeted and balanced rates will be achieved with the support of the concerned authorities in the government by activating other productive sectors, reforming the financial and banking sector, drawing up clear financial policies in coordination with monetary policy and its currently adopted applications and tools, and overcoming the challenges of achieving economic stability, which means achieving stability in the financial and monetary system.

This is not only the duty of the Central Bank alone, but it is a fundamental duty of fiscal policy and the government’s approach to managing the economy, activating sources of national income other than oil, supporting, protecting and encouraging local production, generalizing the activation of dealing in the Iraqi dinar in all internal cash trading activities, expanding the use of electronic payment methods and enhancing digital transformation.

In particular, it must be emphasized here clearly that all the pressures currently being exerted on the Central Bank to change the exchange rate are not a solution to address the liquidity shortage, but rather an interference in its independence and an abolition of its role and responsibility in its tasks and objectives as stated in its Law No. 56 of 2004, which is in force.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62737

The Central Bank Clarifies Its Decision To Classify Celebrities As "High-Risk Clients"

Localities  The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed on Wednesday that classifying social media celebrities and influencers as being involved in money laundering was done to protect the national economy and does not represent a "restriction".

Alaa Al-Fahd, a member of the bank's media team, said that "the Central Bank of Iraq's circular regarding the official warning to banks and financial institutions against dealing recklessly with social media celebrities and influencers, and classifying them as (high-risk and multiple-risk clients), is extremely important."

Al-Fahd explained that "this category has become a new risk and threat to the financial sector, especially in the areas of money laundering, terrorism financing, and illicit financing, in addition to fictitious contracts and unjustified transfers, which necessitated issuing a set of instructions to protect the banking sector from any potential exploitation."

He added that "this measure is a necessary step to protect the financial system from chaos and exploitation, after some influencers turned into a means of passing suspicious contracts, documents and transfers that are exploited in illegal activities."

A member of the Iraqi bank's media team confirmed that "these instructions do not represent a restriction, but rather a shield to protect the national economy, enhance confidence in the banking sector, and close the doors to any attempt to penetrate one of the most sensitive sectors in the country."

The Central Bank of Iraq issued a warning to banks and financial institutions, directing them to classify social media celebrities and influencers as "high-risk and multi-risk clients".    https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62758

Oil Prices Stabilize After Ukraine Peace Talks

Energy  Economy News – Baghdad    Oil prices stabilized on Wednesday after falling to their lowest level in a month in the previous session, amid growing signs that Ukraine is nearing a peace agreement with Russia, which could pave the way for an end to sanctions on Russian supplies.

Brent crude rose 19 cents, or 0.3%, to $62.67 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude gained 14 cents, or 0.24%, to $58.09 a barrel.

The previous decline in prices came after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told European leaders that he was prepared to move forward within a US-backed framework to end the war, indicating that few points of contention remained.

In the context of political moves, US President Donald Trump said he had instructed his representatives to hold separate meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian officials, while sources indicated the possibility of Zelensky visiting the United States in the coming days to finalize the agreement.

These developments come as Britain, Europe and the United States have recently tightened sanctions on Russia as part of an escalating pressure campaign, while India's purchases of Russian oil are expected to fall in December to their lowest level in three years.

Oil prices also received limited support after expectations rose for a possible cut in US interest rates in December, following data indicating a decline in retail spending and a slowdown in inflation, which could boost economic growth and oil demand.     https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62732
