China Unveils Major 2026 Economic Pivot Toward Domestic Demand

Beijing signals structural recalibration as it retreats from export-heavy growth

Overview

  • Politburo announces “more proactive” 2026 fiscal and monetary policies

  • Pivot may accelerate global move away from dollar-centered trade dependencies

  • China prepares for long-term structural transition rather than short-term stimulus

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

China Unveils Major 2026 Economic Pivot Toward Domestic Demand

Beijing signals structural recalibration as it retreats from export-heavy growth

Overview

  • Politburo announces “more proactive” 2026 fiscal and monetary policies

  • Focus shifts toward domestic consumption amid slowing global trade

  • Pivot may accelerate global move away from dollar-centered trade dependencies

  • China prepares for long-term structural transition rather than short-term stimulus

Key Developments

Beijing Confirms 2026 Domestic-Demand Strategy

China’s Politburo disclosed that economic policy in 2026 will center on stimulating internal demand rather than relying on exports. This marks one of the largest strategic realignments since the post-COVID recovery began.

Proactive Policy Mix to Stabilize Growth

Officials emphasized a combination of fiscal flexibility and targeted monetary support to bolster consumer confidence, employment, and internal consumption — a shift away from property-driven stimulus cycles.

What This Means for Global Trade

With China reducing dependency on Western demand, global supply chains and trade flows may experience realignment. Countries within Asia, the Middle East, and Africa may see stronger trade links through non-dollar settlement systems.

Recalibration Signals Long-Term Strategy

Analysts note that China’s shift reflects a structural recognition: export-led growth is no longer sufficient to drive long-term stability. The pivot may serve as a blueprint for other emerging economies facing external demand volatility.

Why It Matters

China’s pivot reshapes global trade expectations. If the world’s largest exporter prioritizes domestic demand and local-currency partnerships, the long-standing dollar-led trade architecture faces increased pressure from emerging, multipolar alternatives.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Trade Realignment

Shifting away from Western consumer markets encourages regional trade blocs and local-currency agreements, weakening the dollar’s anchor role.

Pillar 2: New Monetary Coordination

Greater domestic focus may encourage yuan-based settlement systems, expanding China’s influence in the new global financial architecture.

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

China’s Record Trade Surplus Reshapes Global Flows as U.S. Imports Collapse

November export spike reveals deepening East–South realignment

Overview

  • China’s November exports jumped 5.9% despite shrinking U.S. demand

  • Trade surplus surpasses $1 trillion for the first time

  • Growth driven by Europe, Southeast Asia, and BRICS-aligned markets

  • Data signals accelerating global economic realignment away from Western dependence

Key Developments

Exports Surge Despite U.S. Declines

China recorded a 5.9% year-on-year export increase in November 2025. Shipments to the U.S. continued to drop under tariff pressure, but gains in Asia and Europe more than compensated.

Historic $1 Trillion Trade Surplus

For the first time on record, China’s annual trade surplus crossed the $1 trillion mark — a milestone driven by manufacturing dominance and strengthened non-Western supply chains.

Shifts in Global Demand

Emerging markets and European buyers drove the increase, highlighting China’s success in diversifying export destinations and reducing dependency on U.S. consumption.

Deepening East–South Trade Corridors

The continued expansion of exports to BRICS+ regions reveals the emergence of new global trade architecture — one aligned with local-currency settlement systems and independent supply routes.

Why It Matters

China’s record surplus and export diversification signal that global trade leadership is shifting decisively toward the East. As U.S. demand weakens and alternative markets expand, global economic power continues pivoting toward multipolar, non-dollar systems.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Power Rebalancing in Trade

A trillion-dollar surplus strengthens China’s influence in global pricing, supply chains, and currency arrangements.

Pillar 2: Multipolar Export Destinations

Growing reliance on emerging markets and BRICS partners reduces Western leverage and advances the global restructuring already underway.

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

Tishwash:  Washington Institute: Resumption of the Kurdish ITP oil pipeline to America boosts the Iraqi economy

The Washington Institute highlighted the symbolic, political and economic importance of delivering the first shipment of oil exported from the Kurdistan Region via the ITP pipeline to the US port of Louisiana.

The American Institute, in a report translated by Shafaq News Agency, stated that in addition to providing this low-cost crude oil of a quality suitable for American refineries, the resumption of oil flows through this pipeline reflects a potential strengthening of American policy towards both partners and adversaries.

The report stated that on November 24, two months after the reopening of the ITP pipeline, an oil tanker loaded with oil from the Kurdistan Region, after sailing from the Turkish port of Ceyhan, was unloaded at the Louisiana oil terminal.

He noted that although US oil imports are generally driven by trade and pricing dynamics, this particular shipment would not have been possible without the interim deal brokered by the United States last September, under which Baghdad, regional officials in Erbil, and international oil companies operating in northern Iraq agreed to reopen the ITP pipeline after it had been shut down for more than two years.

According to the American report, Washington played an influential role in the Iraqi energy landscape, ensuring that the 2005 Iraqi constitution recognized the Kurdish joint administration's rights to oil resources and linking the encouragement of American international companies' participation in southern Iraq with support for American companies in the north, in addition to mediating several deals between Baghdad and Erbil regarding the sharing of oil revenues.

In addition, the report noted that Washington encouraged Turkey, Iraq and the Kurdistan Region to accept compromises to achieve a breakthrough in the ITP pipeline issue.

Therefore, the report called on US officials to work to maintain this current close engagement, given its importance to the stability of Iraq, a major producer and supplier of oil to global markets, and to US companies seeking to expand their projects in the north or return to strengthen their assets in the south.

The report suggested that American support for these economic assets of Baghdad could help counter Iranian influence by demonstrating to Iraqis that there are tangible benefits to cooperating with the United States.

After questioning why US refineries were importing northern Iraqi oil, the report explained that, according to data from Kpler, the tanker Seaway Brazos loaded about one million barrels of northern Iraqi crude at the Ceyhan terminal in late October before sailing towards Louisiana, noting that more of these ships are expected to be unloaded in the United States in the near future.

The report explained that these shipments were partly driven by the desire to obtain medium sour crude of the type produced in northern Iraq, noting that while US refineries work on different types of oil, not all types are produced locally or transportable in a cost-effective manner.

He went on to say that although the United States exports light sweet crude, it imports medium, heavy sour and other types from places such as the Middle East and Latin America in order to meet the demand from refineries designed to work on these crudes.

The report stated that Kurdish oil exporting companies, in order to attract buyers via Ceyhan, offered large discounts after the ITP pipeline was reopened, and exports were quickly resumed.

The report addressed the geostrategic importance of the ITP pipeline, noting that the interim agreement to resume work on the pipeline paved the way for further negotiations between Baghdad and Erbil on the controversial issue of oil production and exports from northern Iraq, as well as talks related to the more than $1 billion in arrears owed by Erbil to International Oil Companies (IOCs).

The report considered these talks and the ITP line itself to be of great importance to both global energy markets and Washington’s geostrategic interests.

He went on to say that the more Baghdad uses this pipeline to export oil from other parts of Iraq, the stronger its bilateral ties with Turkey become, adding that, ideally, this would also reduce Iran’s influence in Baghdad, especially with regard to energy issues.

After noting that the Kurdistan Region is relatively rich in both gas reserves and electricity generation compared to the rest of Iraq, the report went on to say that as the energy relationship between Baghdad and Erbil grows, international companies operating in northern Iraq and other investors can expand their operations in the region in ways that enable the Kurds to export gas to the rest of Iraq, thereby reducing Baghdad’s dependence on Iran and strengthening electricity cooperation between the Kurdistan Region and the federal government.

According to the report, "it is not surprising that pro-Iranian militias attacked Kurdistan's largest gas production complex with a missile strike last week."

The report suggested that other positive outcomes might include an amicable resolution to the fallout from Iraq’s international legal case against Türkiye for importing Kurdish oil over the past decade without Baghdad’s permission.

Therefore, he indicated that US officials must also do everything they can to facilitate successful talks between Iraq and Turkey regarding the expanded deal on the ITP pipeline.

The report concluded that "pressure from the United States and the European Union appears to have forced Turkey to reduce its imports of Russian crude oil - which averaged around 300,000 barrels per day during the first nine months of this year - and to diversify its oil sources, so the ITP pipeline could offer Ankara a similar type of crude oil from a nearby source, with potentially steep discounts."  link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Gas Prices Crash to Four-Year Lows as Supply Surges Ahead of Holidays

National average falls below $2.90 per gallon for the first time since 2021

Overview

  • National gas prices fall to $2.897 per gallon—the lowest level in 1,680 days

  • Decline driven by increased refinery output and higher OPEC production

  • Prices drop in nearly every state, with Oklahoma hitting $2.298 per gallon

  • Trend continues despite political claims, with experts attributing drop to supply dynamics

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Gas Prices Crash to Four-Year Lows as Supply Surges Ahead of Holidays

National average falls below $2.90 per gallon for the first time since 2021

Overview

  • National gas prices fall to $2.897 per gallon—the lowest level in 1,680 days

  • Decline driven by increased refinery output and higher OPEC production

  • Prices drop in nearly every state, with Oklahoma hitting $2.298 per gallon

  • Trend continues despite political claims, with experts attributing drop to supply dynamics

Key Developments

National Average Hits Lowest Level in Nearly Five Years

GasBuddy data shows the national average gasoline price has fallen to $2.897 per gallon—its lowest level since May 2021. Analyst Patrick De Haan noted that this marks the first break below $2.90 in over 1,680 days.

Declines Seen Across the Country

In the days surrounding Thanksgiving, nearly every state recorded falling fuel prices. The downward trend has continued into December, with national averages declining week-over-week, month-over-month, and year-over-year.

Supply Factors, Not Policy, Driving Price Declines

Experts attribute the drop to refinery maintenance wrapping up and OPEC ramping production for December. These supply increases have pushed oil prices lower, creating broad downward pressure at the pump.

Political Reactions and Public Perception

While political figures have attempted to credit policy changes, analysts say market mechanics—not administration action—explain the decline. Trump’s approval rating continues to slide as economic expectations clash with campaign promises.

Why It Matters

Gas prices are one of the most visible economic indicators to American households. A sustained decline relieves pressure on consumers heading into the holiday season, but the disconnect between political narratives and market realities highlights ongoing uncertainty in energy policy and public sentiment.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1: Energy Market Volatility

Fluctuations in oil supply—from OPEC decisions to refinery cycles—underscore how global energy structures are shifting independently of domestic policy, reshaping long-term expectations for price stability.

Pillar 2: Consumer Impact and Political Leverage

Falling fuel prices ease household strain but expose political vulnerabilities when campaign promises conflict with market conditions, contributing to broader shifts in national and global economic confidence.

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

  • GoTyme, a 6.5-million-user digital bank in the Philippines, now offers in-app crypto purchases and storage.

  • Users can buy 11 crypto assets via seamless PHP-to-USD auto-conversion.

  • CEO says the system is built for simplicity — no complex charts, trading tools, or external apps needed.

  • GoTyme plans expansion into Vietnam and Indonesia and is prioritizing growth over profitability until 2027.

Key Developments

  • GoTyme partnered with U.S. fintech firm Alpaca to integrate secure crypto services.

  • Supported coins include BTC, ETH, SOL, DOT, and several major altcoins.

  • Banking app enables account creation and instant debit card access in under five minutes.

  • Bank reached 6.5 million users since its 2022 launch, after being formed by Tyme Group and Gokongwei Group.

  • Philippines ranks 9th on Chainalysis’ Global Crypto Adoption Index; lawmakers considering a 10,000-BTC strategic reserve bill.

  • GoTyme is in expansion mode across Southeast Asia, with plans targeting Vietnam and Indonesia.

Why It Matters

GoTyme’s crypto integration marks another step in Southeast Asia’s rapid shift toward digital finance. As nations in the region accelerate cashless payments and decentralized asset adoption, banks are racing to stay relevant by offering simplified crypto access. This move aligns with the broader global restructuring trend in which traditional financial institutions are merging with blockchain rails to maintain competitiveness and reduce exposure to legacy U.S. dollar–centric systems.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Technology Transformation
Digital banks embedding crypto infrastructure signal a shift toward hybrid financial systems that bridge fiat and blockchain networks.

Pillar: Asset Repricing & New Value Systems
As more banks normalize crypto ownership, digital assets become a larger component of consumer portfolios and future monetary models.

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

Iraq Rises To Second Place Among Oil Suppliers To America

Economy |  07/12/2025  Mawazin News - Baghdad:   The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) announced on Sunday that Iraq ranked second among the largest oil exporters to the United States last week.

The EIA stated in its statistics that the average U.S. crude oil imports from nine major countries reached 4.877 million barrels per day (bpd), a decrease of 815,000 bpd from the previous week's 5.692 million bpd.

It added that Iraqi oil exports to the U.S. reached 435,000 bpd, an increase of 149,000 bpd from the previous week's 378,000 bpd, placing Iraq second on the list of top exporters.

Are we Facing a Total Economic Reset?

Are we Facing a Total Economic Reset?

As Good As Gold Australia:  12-6-2025

In this insightful discussion, Brian Pa from As Good as Gold Australia interviews Alasdair Macleod about the future of the global economy, focusing particularly on the unsustainable growth of US debt, the looming collapse of fiat currencies, and the critical role of gold and silver as real money.

Alasdair emphasizes that since the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, government debt has doubled roughly every decade, creating a debt bubble that is on the verge of bursting.

Are we Facing a Total Economic Reset?

As Good As Gold Australia:  12-6-2025

In this insightful discussion, Brian Pa from As Good as Gold Australia interviews Alasdair Macleod about the future of the global economy, focusing particularly on the unsustainable growth of US debt, the looming collapse of fiat currencies, and the critical role of gold and silver as real money.

Alasdair emphasizes that since the abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, government debt has doubled roughly every decade, creating a debt bubble that is on the verge of bursting.

This collapse will destroy purchasing power, trigger rising bond yields, and lead to a severe economic downturn reminiscent of the Great Depression but potentially worse.

The only viable protection against this economic destruction is holding real money, primarily gold and silver, as fiat currencies lose their value.

Alasdair explains the mechanics of currency collapse, pointing out that hyperinflation is a symptom of the loss of purchasing power rather than the cause.

He highlights the rise in bond yields as a warning sign and notes that living standards will be drastically affected. Mortgage foreclosures and the collapse of credit availability will become widespread, with borrowers potentially benefiting if they can maintain payments while lenders suffer losses.

The conversation also delves into the manipulation of gold and silver prices via derivatives markets.

Alasdair discusses the severe liquidity crisis in the silver market, exacerbated by China’s recent export bans, which are part of a broader strategy to control critical minerals.

The silver market’s deficits and the collapse in derivative open interest signal an impending failure of these financial instruments, which could cause a significant price surge in physical metals. This phenomenon is expected to extend to gold, undermining the entire derivative system and exposing systemic risks.

The interview critiques the current economic commentary landscape, where few analysts challenge mainstream narratives about fiat currencies, often due to editorial pressures or a lack of understanding.

Alasdair stresses the importance of returning to a gold-backed currency system to restore economic stability, warning that the current trajectory will lead to catastrophic outcomes.

 He also highlights the disconnect between government policies and real economic management, casting doubt on the ability of politicians to effectively guide the economy.

Finally, Alasdair refrains from making precise price predictions for gold and silver, arguing that the collapse of fiat currency value will distort price metrics.

 Instead, he advocates for focusing on preserving purchasing power through real assets. The interview ends with a forward-looking note about the ongoing economic turmoil and the crucial role precious metals will play in securing financial security amid the coming crisis.

Global Markets Show Signs of Dangerous Overvaluation as Reset Pressures Build

Asset bubbles push systemic risk to new highs, raising talk of financial restructuring

Overview

  • SCMP warns that global asset prices across equities, tech, and real estate are detached from fundamentals

  • The editorial argues current valuations could trigger a major correction

  • A severe downturn could spark structural financial reforms or cross-market realignments

 Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Global Markets Show Signs of Dangerous Overvaluation as Reset Pressures Build

Asset bubbles push systemic risk to new highs, raising talk of financial restructuring

Overview

  • SCMP warns that global asset prices across equities, tech, and real estate are detached from fundamentals

  • The editorial argues current valuations could trigger a major correction

  • A severe downturn could spark structural financial reforms or cross-market realignments

 

Key Developments

  • Inflated asset prices have outpaced economic reality, setting the stage for a correction more severe than previous cycles.

  • Central banks are increasingly boxed in, unable to raise rates without triggering liquidity fractures in over-leveraged sectors.

  • Investors are chasing bubble-level valuations, especially in AI-linked tech stocks and speculative real-estate markets.

  • A significant market event could force governments and institutions to redesign financial frameworks, echoing themes tied to systemic reset scenarios.

Why It Matters

When markets decouple from fundamentals, the correction phase often accelerates political decisions, regulatory restructuring, and institutional redesign. A severe downturn—especially one triggered by synchronized global overvaluation—could hasten reforms that shift power structures, reserve flows, and the architecture of global markets.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Assets – Overvalued markets highlight the fragility of a system inflated by liquidity, debt, and AI-driven speculation.

  • Pillar: Debt – Excess leverage amplifies the risk of cascading failures, making restructuring more likely if corrections unfold.

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

India Pushes for BRICS Satellite-Launch Dominance — Aiming to Reshape Global Space Services

New launch capacity, private-sector surge, and geopolitical ambition converge as India stakes a claim for major share of global orbit services

 

Overview

  • India says it will dramatically expand its satellite-launch capabilities, targeting between 8% and 10% of the global commercial space launch market within the next decade.

  • A newly opened facility near Hyderabad is reported to enable monthly orbital-rocket production, signaling a major upgrade in launch capacity.

  • Private-sector growth and policy shifts under the national space strategy illustrate India’s pivot toward being a global launch-services provider — with implications for BRICS space cooperation and global competition.

Key Developments

  • The newly inaugurated facility near Hyderabad is described as able to handle assembly, testing, and production of multiple launch vehicles simultaneously — a substantial upgrade over earlier infrastructure.

  • Under reported plans, the facility could churn out one orbital-launch rocket per month, representing a dramatic increase compared to past launch rates.

  • Senior space-programme leaders have publicly stated that India aims to capture 8–10% of the worldwide commercial satellite-launch market within the next 10 years. This would mark a major leap from its current share (widely cited as under 2%).

  • The private space sector in India has reportedly exploded — rising from a handful of startups a few years ago to more than 300 active firms involved in launch technology, satellite development, and related services.

  • Historically, over the past five decades, India has launched hundreds of satellites for dozens of countries — building a track-record of reliability and cost-effectiveness, enhanced recently by a multi-satellite launch mission that orbited 36 satellites on a single rocket.

  • Recent policy reforms have been critical: by opening up national space activities to private participation and commercial contracts, India is shifting from a purely government-driven space program toward a mixed public-private space economy.

Why It Matters

The transition transforms India from a regional space actor into a global launch-services contender. By scaling up launch capacity, embracing private-sector involvement, and leveraging cost-competitive advantages, India could emerge as a cheaper, more accessible alternative to established launch-service powers.

This may accelerate satellite deployment worldwide — especially for smaller nations and private operators — lowering barriers to entry and broadening global access to orbit services. The shift also enhances strategic leverage for India and its partners, particularly within the BRICS grouping, potentially reshaping how space infrastructure and services are distributed globally.

 

Implications for Global Space & Geopolitics

  • BRICS Space Leadership — India’s growing capacity positions it as a leading launch hub for BRICS nations, potentially reducing reliance on Western or Russian launch providers.

  • Democratization of Access to Space — Lower-cost, high-frequency launches could make satellite services — communications, remote sensing, scientific payloads — more accessible to smaller nations and private firms globally.

  • Strategic Autonomy & Competition — As India scales, global space competition intensifies: nations may reassess partnerships, regulatory regimes, and launch dependencies.

  • Commercial Space Market Disruption — By offering competitive pricing and reliable launches, India could disrupt traditional launch-service markets, driving down costs and accelerating innovation in satellite-dependent industries.

This is not just technology — it’s a strategic shift in how humanity reaches orbit, and who controls the gateway.

Global Markets Show Signs of Dangerous Overvaluation as Reset Pressures Build

Asset bubbles push systemic risk to new highs, raising talk of financial restructuring

Overview

  • SCMP warns that global asset prices across equities, tech, and real estate are detached from fundamentals

  • The editorial argues current valuations could trigger a major correction

  • A severe downturn could spark structural financial reforms or cross-market realignments

Key Developments

  • Inflated asset prices have outpaced economic reality, setting the stage for a correction more severe than previous cycles.

  • Central banks are increasingly boxed in, unable to raise rates without triggering liquidity fractures in over-leveraged sectors.

  • Investors are chasing bubble-level valuations, especially in AI-linked tech stocks and speculative real-estate markets.

  • A significant market event could force governments and institutions to redesign financial frameworks, echoing themes tied to systemic reset scenarios.

Why It Matters

When markets decouple from fundamentals, the correction phase often accelerates political decisions, regulatory restructuring, and institutional redesign. A severe downturn—especially one triggered by synchronized global overvaluation—could hasten reforms that shift power structures, reserve flows, and the architecture of global markets.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Assets – Overvalued markets highlight the fragility of a system inflated by liquidity, debt, and AI-driven speculation.

  • Pillar: Debt – Excess leverage amplifies the risk of cascading failures, making restructuring more likely if corrections unfold.

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

Despite Fluctuating Dollar Exchange Rates, Gold Prices In Baghdad Remain Stable.

Economy | 07/12/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:  Gold prices, both foreign and Iraqi, remained stable in Baghdad's local markets.  This morning, wholesale gold prices in Baghdad's Al-Nahr Street market showed a selling price of 847,000 Iraqi dinars per mithqal (approximately 4.5 grams) of 21-karat gold from the Gulf, Turkey, and Europe at 847,000 dinars, and a buying price of 843,000 dinars – the same prices as yesterday.

Saleh's Statement: No Change In The Exchange Rate And The Iraqi Economy Is Stable.

Time: 2025/12/06 Reading: 90 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Saturday that the official exchange rate is fixed at 1320 dinars and that the recent fluctuations have no significant impact, while indicating that the Iraqi economy is stable and inflation has declined to 2.5%.

Saleh said in a press statement followed by Al-Furat News that “what happened in the parallel exchange market during the past few days is nothing more than an emergency and temporary fluctuation resulting from inaccurate information effects known in economic analysis as “color noise,” which is confused information that is mostly based on rumors, and leads to uncertain behavior and short-term speculation in the unregulated money market.”

He added that "transitional periods usually witness such price movements, especially as the country continues in the post-legislative election phase, and in parallel with the implementation of the customs governance system and its digital procedures in accordance with international standards, including customs tracking systems and modern digital applications that enhance transparency and discipline in the commercial and financial environment together."

Saleh explained that “the aforementioned fluctuation in the price of the dollar against the dinar in the parallel market has not left a substantial impact on the stability of the general price level, as monetary policy continues to achieve its operational and intermediate goals in stabilizing prices in general and maintaining the stability of the official exchange rate in particular, a path that is reflected in the decrease in the annual inflation growth rate to normal fractional levels not exceeding 2.5% annually.”

He pointed out that “the policy of fixed exchange rate is an adopted policy based on fundamental principles, foremost among them the efficiency of foreign reserves supporting the stability of the official exchange rate of 1320 dinars per dollar. It is also noted that international institutions, foremost among them the World Bank and other multilateral global financing institutions, view with satisfaction the government’s reform steps in the banking sector and the general financial and economic sector, which encourage the investment environment, especially the trend towards strengthening the partnership between the state and the private sector, all of which are among the basic pillars for building a diversified economy that supports the paths of sustainable development identified by the methodology of Iraq Vision 2050.”    LINK

Government Advisor: Recent Fluctuations In The Parallel Market Are "Temporary" And Do Not Affect The Iraqi Economy

Economy | 06/12/2025  Mawazin News - Baghdad:   The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, affirmed that the official exchange rate of 1,320 dinars is fixed and stable, indicating that the recent fluctuations in the parallel market are "temporary" and do not have a substantial impact on the economy.

Salih stated in a press release that what occurred in the exchange market over the past few days represents a "temporary fluctuation" resulting from inaccurate information, which he described as a kind of "colorful noise" based on rumors, driving short-term speculative behavior within the unregulated market.

He added that transitional periods—especially in the post-parliamentary election phase—typically witness such movements, noting that the implementation of digital customs governance systems and international standards for tracking and inspection played a role in triggering temporary market reactions.

He clarified that this fluctuation has not been reflected in the general price level, as monetary policy continues to achieve its objectives in stabilizing prices, which has contributed to a decline in the annual inflation rate to approximately 2.5%, a level considered normal.

Saleh pointed out that the stability of the exchange rate is a well-established policy based on strong foreign reserves that support its stability, explaining that international institutions - foremost among them the World Bank - are following positively the government's reform steps in the banking and financial sectors, in addition to the trends of strengthening the partnership between the state and the private sector, which are among the basic pillars of the path of sustainable development within Iraq's Vision 2050.   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271238

Central Bank of Iraq Announces Digital Dinar

Central Bank of Iraq Announces Digital Dinar

Edu Matrix:   12-7-2025

The video presents an insightful overview of recent developments in Iraq’s financial and geopolitical landscape.

 It begins with the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) banking sector reform program aimed at modernizing the financial system through introducing a digital dinar and restricting dollar transactions to curb illicit financial flows and enhance regulatory oversight.

 The CBI governor clarified that these reforms are not a prelude to currency redenomination or devaluation but are intended to stabilize the economy, increase transparency, and encourage greater public trust in the formal banking sector.

Central Bank of Iraq Announces Digital Dinar

Edu Matrix:   12-7-2025

The video presents an insightful overview of recent developments in Iraq’s financial and geopolitical landscape.

 It begins with the Central Bank of Iraq’s (CBI) banking sector reform program aimed at modernizing the financial system through introducing a digital dinar and restricting dollar transactions to curb illicit financial flows and enhance regulatory oversight.

 The CBI governor clarified that these reforms are not a prelude to currency redenomination or devaluation but are intended to stabilize the economy, increase transparency, and encourage greater public trust in the formal banking sector.

However, public skepticism remains high, with Iraqi citizens reluctant to deposit their currency in banks, posing a challenge to the reform’s success.

The video then shifts focus to the geopolitical strategy of the United States in Iraq, highlighting the opening of the world’s largest US consulate in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region.

 This $800 million facility symbolizes strengthened US presence and commitment in northern Iraq, particularly significant amid rising regional tensions involving Iran, Syria, Turkey, and the ongoing Kurdish autonomy disputes.

The consulate’s opening follows years of fluctuating US-Kurdish relations and recent attacks on Kurdish infrastructure attributed to Iran-backed militia groups.

 The US government’s message is clear: despite planned troop withdrawals, America intends to maintain a robust diplomatic and strategic foothold in Iraq, particularly in regions free from Iranian influence, signaling continued engagement and influence in the broader Middle Eastern geopolitical landscape.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Visa Pushes Into Syria, Expanding Digital Payments in a Sanction-Shaken Economy

Global rails enter contested territory as financial access is rewired

Overview

  • Visa signs agreement with Syria’s central bank to build a national digital-payments ecosystem

  • Move brings global payment rails into one of the world’s most isolated financial systems

  • Signals accelerating expansion of digital infrastructure in conflict-impacted economies

 

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Visa Pushes Into Syria, Expanding Digital Payments in a Sanction-Shaken Economy

Global rails enter contested territory as financial access is rewired

Overview

  • Visa signs agreement with Syria’s central bank to build a national digital-payments ecosystem

  • Move brings global payment rails into one of the world’s most isolated financial systems

  • Signals accelerating expansion of digital infrastructure in conflict-impacted economies

 

Key Developments

  • Visa’s entry marks a strategic shift—bringing Western payment technology into a country long cut off from major financial networks.

  • Syria’s central bank frames the deal as modernization, aiming to digitize commerce and reduce reliance on cash.

  • The partnership suggests geopolitical flexibility—as global payment firms seek growth in underbanked or reconstruction-phase regions.

  • Digital-payment expansion is becoming a competitive geopolitical tool, allowing influence in markets once considered too risky.

Why It Matters

Digital rails are becoming a core strategic asset in the emerging global financial restructuring. Expanding into conflict-affected regions allows payment giants to set standards, create new dependencies, and influence future cross-border trade flows—aligning with a broader transition toward programmable, trackable, and globally interconnected financial systems.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Technology – Visa’s move shows how digital-payment infrastructure is becoming a decisive global lever, especially in nations rebuilding economic systems.

  • Pillar: Trade & Payments – Establishing new rails in previously isolated countries shifts regional commerce patterns and reduces reliance on legacy correspondent networks.

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

China’s Data Sovereignty Push Weakens WTO E-Commerce Rules — Indonesia Caught in the Crossfire

Digital protectionism fractures global trade as data replaces oil as the world’s strategic commodity

Overview

  • China’s data-sovereignty doctrine is reshaping global digital-trade rules and eroding WTO authority

  • Fragmentation of cross-border data standards threatens developing nations’ bargaining power

  • Indonesia faces rising costs, weakened position, and strategic vulnerability amid global digital realignment

Key Developments

  • WTO e-commerce frameworks are failing, unable to regulate digital markets that now depend on global data flows rather than physical goods.

  • The U.S. champions digital liberalism, pushing free-flow regimes that benefit Big Tech but lack consistent domestic privacy protections.

  • China advances “Data Mercantilism,” requiring strict localization under its Cybersecurity Law and PIPL, turning data into a state-controlled strategic asset.

  • Digital protectionism is spreading — India’s DPDPA 2025, EU transfer restrictions, and other national regimes are creating a maze of conflicting rules.

  • Developing nations like Indonesia lose leverage, forced to accept unfavorable provisions in bilateral negotiations due to the absence of unified global standards.

Why It Matters

The WTO’s inability to modernize digital-trade rules is accelerating a shift toward regional blocs and unilateral controls. Data — the backbone of global e-commerce and AI — has become a strategic commodity, and the battle between digital liberalism and data mercantilism is reshaping global power structures. For countries without the scale of the U.S. or China, this fragmentation dramatically erodes bargaining power and raises compliance costs.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Technology – Control of data flows is becoming central to national power, altering the architecture of global digital infrastructure.

  • Pillar: Trade – Fragmented rules signal the breakdown of multilateral trade systems, pushing nations into competing digital blocs.

  • Pillar: Assets – Data itself becomes a monetized asset class, with governance determining who extracts value and who becomes a digital raw-material supplier.

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

Digital Sovereignty Wars Escalate as China Reshapes WTO Rules and Europe Targets U.S. Tech

Fragmented data governance pushes the world deeper into competing digital blocs

Overview

  • WTO e-commerce rules are collapsing amid China’s expanding data-sovereignty doctrine

  • Digital protectionism spreads as nations impose localization rules and platform regulations

  • EU fines against X highlight a widening transatlantic battle over tech control, free speech, and data flows

Key Developments

  • Cross-border data flows now underpin a US$6.86 trillion e-commerce ecosystem, yet the WTO remains unable to craft binding rules to protect digital trade.

  • China’s Cybersecurity Law and PIPL enforce strict localization, framing data as a sovereign asset essential to national security and technological independence.

  • The U.S. pushes for open data flows, but domestic privacy inconsistencies weaken its negotiating position and fuel accusations of double standards.

  • Indonesia is caught between competing digital ideologies, facing higher compliance costs and weakened bargaining power as global rules fragment.

  • Europe’s record fine against X reveals a new fault line—the EU’s aggressive regulatory posture against Big Tech is clashing with U.S. officials who call the penalties a political attack on American platforms.

  • Trump-era officials, including Marco Rubio and JD Vance, accuse Brussels of censorship-driven regulation, highlighting widening ideological divergence over digital governance.

Why It Matters

The global trading system is splitting along digital-sovereignty lines. China’s mercantilist model, the U.S. free-flow agenda, and Europe’s regulatory maximalism are incompatible—leaving countries like Indonesia without a stable framework. As governance fractures, digital markets are shifting from a unified global system toward rival spheres of control, transforming how value, information, and influence flow across borders.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar: Technology – Control of data and platforms is becoming the primary lever of geopolitical power, shaping who sets the rules of the digital economy.

  • Pillar: Trade – With WTO mechanisms paralyzed, nations are defaulting to regional and unilateral rules, accelerating the breakdown of multilateral trade.

  • Pillar: Governance – The U.S.–EU fight over platform regulation signals a deeper realignment: digital regulation is now a central arena of geopolitical competition.

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