Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

EU Targets Russian Banks as Moscow Signals Financial Resilience

Despite a new round of proposed European sanctions, Russia says its banking sector remains profitable and stable, highlighting the growing battle between Western financial pressure and emerging alternative economic systems.

Overview

The European Union has unveiled another package of proposed sanctions aimed at Russian banks and cryptocurrency-related financial networks as part of its ongoing effort to increase economic pressure on Moscow over the conflict in Ukraine.

The Kremlin responded dismissively to the announcement, arguing that Russia's financial institutions have adapted to years of sanctions and continue to generate substantial profits. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia's largest banks remain stable and that the country's financial authorities continue to monitor economic conditions closely.

The development underscores the continuing struggle between Western sanctions regimes and Russia's efforts to build alternative financial channels outside the traditional Western-dominated banking system.

Key Developments

1. European Union Expands Financial Pressure

The EU's latest sanctions proposal targets additional Russian banking institutions as well as cryptocurrency networks that European officials believe may help facilitate financial transactions outside traditional sanctions frameworks.

European leaders continue to argue that restricting financial access remains one of the most effective tools available to pressure Moscow economically.

2. Kremlin Rejects Concerns Over Banking Stability

Russian officials dismissed the impact of the proposed sanctions, emphasizing that the country's banking sector has operated under restrictions for several years.

According to Kremlin representatives, major Russian banks remain profitable and continue functioning despite ongoing limitations imposed by Western nations.

3. Russian Economy Shows Signs of Strain

While Moscow projects confidence, economic challenges remain visible.

Russia's approximately $3 trillion economy contracted by 0.3% during the first quarter, marking its first quarterly decline since early 2023. Analysts point to the combined effects of sanctions, elevated interest rates, labor shortages, and significant military-related spending.

4. Alternative Financial Networks Continue Expanding

The continued focus on Russian cryptocurrency networks reflects broader concerns among Western policymakers regarding alternative payment systems emerging outside traditional banking channels.

Russia has increasingly promoted trade settlements using local currencies, alternative payment mechanisms, and partnerships with countries seeking to reduce dependence on Western financial infrastructure.

Why It Matters

The sanctions debate extends far beyond Russia and Europe.

Global financial systems are undergoing significant transformation as countries increasingly explore alternatives to traditional Western banking networks. Efforts to develop independent payment systems, local-currency trade arrangements, digital assets, and regional financial alliances have accelerated since sanctions against Russia intensified.

The effectiveness of sanctions will likely influence how other nations evaluate the risks of relying heavily on existing global financial infrastructure.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For those following global monetary developments, the continued sanctions battle highlights the growing fragmentation of international finance.

Many countries are exploring ways to reduce exposure to geopolitical risks by diversifying reserves, increasing local currency trade, and participating in alternative payment systems. These developments could gradually reshape portions of the international monetary landscape over the coming decade.

The trend does not necessarily signal the end of the current system but rather the emergence of competing financial frameworks operating alongside traditional institutions.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 1: Financial System Fragmentation

The continued sanctions campaign demonstrates how geopolitical conflicts are accelerating the development of parallel financial networks outside traditional Western banking structures.

As countries seek greater economic sovereignty, alternative payment mechanisms and settlement systems continue to gain attention.

  • Pillar 2: Expansion of Non-Dollar Trade Channels

Russia and several of its trading partners have increasingly emphasized settlements using national currencies and alternative financial platforms.

While the U.S. dollar remains dominant globally, efforts to diversify international payment channels continue to expand, contributing to the broader evolution of the global financial system.

What Comes Next

The European Union is expected to continue tightening financial restrictions while monitoring enforcement efforts across banking and digital asset sectors.

Russia will likely accelerate efforts to strengthen domestic financial infrastructure and deepen economic relationships with non-Western partners.

The longer this financial standoff continues, the more attention will focus on whether alternative payment systems and regional financial alliances can meaningfully reduce dependence on traditional Western-controlled financial networks.

This is not simply a sanctions story—it is another chapter in the ongoing restructuring of the global financial landscape.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.


For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Tishwash:  An economist calls on Al-Zaidi to bring specialized ministers to Washington to prevent businessmen from taking "commissions".

Economic expert Hashim al-Haboubi criticized on Wednesday Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's intention to take groups of businessmen and investors with him on his upcoming visit to Washington, D.C., describing the move as "unfortunate" and a repetition of previous scenarios.

Tishwash:  An economist calls on Al-Zaidi to bring specialized ministers to Washington to prevent businessmen from taking "commissions".

Economic expert Hashim al-Haboubi criticized on Wednesday Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's intention to take groups of businessmen and investors with him on his upcoming visit to Washington, D.C., describing the move as "unfortunate" and a repetition of previous scenarios.

Al-Haboubi told the Information Agency, "Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi's announcement of his intention to take businessmen and investors to Washington, similar to what al-Sudani did previously, is not at all in the public interest." He pointed out that "these individuals will not invest in America, but rather seek to act as intermediaries between the government and American companies to obtain commissions."

He added, "Preserving public funds requires taking ministers specializing in the financial and economic sectors, along with a very limited number of advisors. This is the correct approach to ensure that contracts and economic activities are concluded directly between the state and companies without any intermediaries, thus avoiding suspicions of corruption."  link

Tishwash:  Prime Minister's Advisor: Growing International Interest in Iraq's Banking Reform Program

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Banking Affairs, Saleh Mahoud, affirmed on Wednesday that Iraq is making steady progress towards building a more efficient, open, and integrated financial sector within the global economy. He noted the growing international interest in the country's banking reform program.

In a statement received by Al-Eqtisad News, Mahoud said he participated over the past three days in a working visit to London as part of an Iraqi banking delegation that included representatives from the Central Bank of Iraq, the Association of Iraqi Private Banks, and several other banks and electronic payment companies. The visit aimed to strengthen international cooperation and support the financial and banking reform process in Iraq.

He added that the visit, organized in coordination with the British Embassy in Iraq, provided a platform for dialogue between Iraqi and British financial and banking institutions, thereby enhancing economic and financial cooperation between the two countries.

He explained that on the first day, the delegation held meetings with Hogan Lovells, a firm specializing in legal consulting on financial and banking legislation, and also participated in a dialogue with Chatham House. He emphasized the government's full support for the banking reform projects led by the Central Bank of Iraq in cooperation with international consulting firms.

He noted that the meetings held at the British Parliament addressed the development of banking and economic cooperation, encouraging British investment in Iraq, and strengthening partnerships between financial institutions in both countries.

Mahoud explained that the visit reflected the level of international interest in Iraq's banking reform program, emphasizing that Iraq continues to implement plans to develop its financial sector in accordance with international standards and to enhance the investment climate and economic growth.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Marsoumi reveals the conditions set by foreign companies for resuming oil production in Kurdistan.

Economic expert Nabil al-Marsoumi explained on Wednesday that foreign companies operating in the oil sector have set a number of conditions before resuming production and exports in the Kurdistan Region.

Al-Marsoumi stated in a Facebook post that "these conditions include, firstly, the necessity of protecting oil fields and wells from drone and missile attacks to ensure the safety of facilities, workers, and foreign technical staff."

He added that "the second condition is the establishment of a clear and regular mechanism to guarantee the payment of current financial dues upon the resumption of exports, in accordance with the amendments to the federal budget law."

He pointed out that "the third condition pertains to the necessity of settling outstanding debts and previous dues owed by the companies, including those owed to the Norwegian oil company DNO, which previously announced the cessation of production and exports via pipelines in the region due to delayed payments estimated at approximately one billion dollars."

Al-Marsoumi emphasized that "resolving these issues is essential for the normal resumption of oil activity in the region."   link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday Afternoon 6-10-26

Government Advisor: Exchange Rate Stability Has Boosted Citizens' Purchasing Power

{Economic: Al-Furat News} The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Saturday that the government, headed by Ali Falih al-Zaidi, has taken measures to preserve the purchasing power of the dinar and curb inflation. 

Government Advisor: Exchange Rate Stability Has Boosted Citizens' Purchasing Power

{Economic: Al-Furat News} The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, confirmed on Saturday that the government, headed by Ali Falih al-Zaidi, has taken measures to preserve the purchasing power of the dinar and curb inflation. 

Saleh said in a press statement followed by Al-Furat News: “The policy of stabilizing the official exchange rate is based on a fundamental goal, which is to protect the external value of the national currency and maintain the stability of the general price level,” noting that “the stability of the exchange rate has contributed to strengthening confidence in the Iraqi dinar and supporting the purchasing power of citizens.”

Saleh added that “the relationship between the stability of the exchange rate and the stability of prices of goods and services in the local market has remained close, given the limited impact of the parallel market on the pricing system and the effectiveness of monetary policy,” explaining that “financing imports through the official banking system and relying on the state’s foreign reserves has contributed to providing imported goods at stable and controlled prices.”

He added that “government policies to maintain stable prices for goods and public services, along with the expansion of modern commercial distribution patterns, particularly cooperative stores and advanced marketing formulas, have strengthened competition and contributed to reducing inflationary pressures and supporting price stability.”

Saleh explained that "among the most prominent factors that put pressure on the value of the national currency are the decline in official reserves, uncontrolled monetary expansion, and excessive reliance on oil revenues, which are currently subject to geopolitical restrictions imposed on the freedom of energy markets, as well as political and regional tensions and their effects on foreign exchange flows and economic confidence."

He stressed that “raising the value of the Iraqi dinar is not achieved through quick administrative decisions, but rather through a long-term reform process based on the stability of monetary and financial policies, diversification of national income sources, and strengthening confidence in the local currency,” noting that “the stability of the dinar remains a direct reflection of the stability of the macroeconomy and its ability to cope with local and international changes, which is what the government is working on through a package of measures to strengthen the value of the Iraqi dinar, including working to strengthen foreign reserves, diversifying the national economy and reducing dependence on oil, achieving stability in the balance of payments, as well as controlling the parallel market, reforming the banking system, expanding the use of electronic payment tools and promoting financial inclusion.”  https://alforatnews.iq/news/مستشار-حكومي-استقرار-سعر-الصرف-عزز-القوة-الشرائية-للمواطنين

International Monetary Fund: Iraq Among The Countries Most Vulnerable To Financial Pressures With Rising Debt In 2026

2026-06-06 Shafaq News – Baghdad   A report issued by the International Monetary Fund showed that Iraq faces increasing financial pressures during 2026, due to the rising cost of government energy subsidies, increasing public debt, and rising borrowing costs in international markets.

According to the report, which was reviewed by Shafaq News Agency, Iraq is estimated to be among the countries with high levels of energy subsidies, with the cost of subsidies reaching less than 6% of GDP, making the general budget more vulnerable to fluctuations in oil and gas prices, and increasing pressure on public finances if global energy prices continue to rise.

The IMF noted that Iraq is among a group of economies that have seen a significant increase in public debt compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic, as debt levels rose significantly in 2026 compared to 2019, within a regional trend that includes a number of countries with high fiscal deficits.

According to the report, this development coincides with rising sovereign borrowing costs in the region, increasing financing pressures on countries with large financial needs, including Iraq, in a global environment characterized by high interest rates and tighter financing conditions.

The Fund stressed that the continuation of these pressures poses challenges to fiscal policies in Iraq, especially with regard to the need to control spending, redirect subsidies, and enhance fiscal sustainability within medium-term frameworks, while maintaining the ability to finance basic services in light of the fragile regional economic environment. https://www.shafaq.com/ar/اقتصـاد/النقد-الدولي-العراق-ضمن-الدول-ال-كثر-تعرضا-لضغوط-مالية-مع-ارتفاع-الدين-في-2026

A Member Of Parliament Warns Of The "Erosion" Of Iraq's Cash Reserves Due To Operational Expenses.

{Economic: Al-Furat News} Kurdish MP Jamal Kojar warned on Tuesday of the "erosion" of Iraq's cash reserves due to the country's monthly operating expenses.

Kujer told Al-Furat News Agency, “The talk about concerns about the erosion of the cash reserve is due to the existence of facts that confirm the country’s need for at least 8 trillion dinars per month to cover operating expenses.”

He added, "The financial resources are less than this amount, so we will definitely need to borrow, whether internally or externally, and these concerns are realistic under the current circumstances."

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed in a press statement today that “about 40 million Iraqis depend directly or indirectly on government income,” stressing that any external borrowing should be “smart debt” for productive projects, not for consumption. He added, "Corruption and kickbacks raise the cost of projects in Iraq by up to 45%."

What Is Stagflation?

What Is Stagflation?

By   Kimberly Amadeo    Updated on July 1, 2021

Key Takeaways

  • Stagflation is stagnant economic growth plus high inflation and high unemployment.

  • It is caused by conflicting contractionary and expansionary fiscal policies.

  • Stagflation got its name during the 1973-1975 recession, when GDP growth was negative for five quarters.

  • Because of changes in policy and economic conditions, stagflation is unlikely to reoccur today.

What Is Stagflation?

By   Kimberly Amadeo    Updated on July 1, 2021

Key Takeaways

  • Stagflation is stagnant economic growth plus high inflation and high unemployment.

  • It is caused by conflicting contractionary and expansionary fiscal policies.

  • Stagflation got its name during the 1973-1975 recession, when GDP growth was negative for five quarters.

  • Because of changes in policy and economic conditions, stagflation is unlikely to reoccur today.

Definitions and Examples of Stagflation

Stagflation is a combination of stagnant economic growth, high unemployment, and high inflation.1 It's an unnatural situation because inflation is not supposed to occur in a weak economy.

In a normal market economy, slow growth prevents inflation. As a result, consumer demand drops enough to keep prices from rising. Stagflation can only occur if government policies disrupt normal market functioning.

If you compare U.S. GDP by year to inflation by year, you'll find stagflation in the United States occurred during the 1970s.

The federal government manipulated its currency to spur economic growth. At the same time, it restricted supply with wage-price controls.2

In 2008, the Zimbabwean government printed so much money it went beyond stagflation and turned into hyperinflation.3

How Does Stagflation Work?

Stagflation occurs when the government or central banks expand the money supply at the same time they constrain supply.4 The most common culprit is when the government prints currency. It can also occur when a central bank's monetary policies create credit. Both increase the money supply and create inflation. 

At the same time, other policies slow growth. That happens, for instance, if the government increases taxes. It can also occur when the central bank raises interest rates. Both prevent companies from producing more. When conflicting expansionary and contractionary policies occur, it can slow growth while creating inflation.5 That's stagflation.

Stagflation During the 1970s

Stagflation got its name during the 1973-1975 recession. There were five quarters when gross domestic product was negative.2

GDP GROWTH    Q1        Q2        Q3        Q4

1973    10.3%     4.4%-   2.1%     3.8%

1974   -3.4%     1.0%    -3.7%   -1.5%

1975  -4.8%      2.9%    7.0%     5.5%

Unemployment peaked at 9% in May 1975, two months after the recession ended.6


Inflation tripled in 1973, rising from 3.6% in January to 8.7% in December. It rose to a range of between 10% and 12% from February 1974 through April 1975.7

How did this happen? Many experts blame the 1973 oil embargo. That's when OPEC cut its oil exports to the United States. Prices quadrupled, triggering inflation in oil.8

The 1973 oil embargo alone wasn't enough to cause stagflation. Instead, it was a combination of fiscal and monetary policy that created it.

It started with a mild recession in 1970. GDP was negative for two quarters. Unemployment rose to 6.1%. President Richard Nixon was running for re-election. He wanted to boost growth without triggering inflation. 

On August 15, 1971, he announced three fiscal policies. They got him re-elected. They also sowed the seeds for stagflation. A video of Nixon's speech shows the announcement of significant economic policy changes known as the Nixon Shock.9

The Nixon Shock

The Nixon Shock was comprised of three actions that Nixon took.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Japan’s Banking Giants Unite to Launch Stablecoin Network, Accelerating the Digital Currency Transformation

Japan’s largest financial institutions are taking a major step toward modernizing global payments, signaling growing momentum behind tokenized finance, stablecoins, and the evolution of the international monetary system.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Japan’s Banking Giants Unite to Launch Stablecoin Network, Accelerating the Digital Currency Transformation

Japan’s largest financial institutions are taking a major step toward modernizing global payments, signaling growing momentum behind tokenized finance, stablecoins, and the evolution of the international monetary system.

Overview

Three of Japan’s largest banking groups — Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, and Mizuho Financial Group — have announced plans to jointly issue a stablecoin by March 2027.

The initiative is designed primarily for business-to-business and cross-border transactions, with the long-term goal of creating a more efficient and lower-cost payment infrastructure across Asia and beyond. The project builds on Japan’s growing embrace of digital assets and follows increasing global efforts to integrate blockchain technology into mainstream banking systems.

For observers tracking the evolution of the global financial system, this development represents another sign that major financial institutions are moving toward tokenized money, digital settlement networks, and next-generation payment rails.

Key Developments

1. Japan’s Three Largest Banks Join Forces

Japan's three banking giants announced a collaborative effort to issue a trust-based stablecoin backed by a regulated framework.

Rather than competing separately, the institutions are pooling resources to create a shared platform capable of supporting large-scale commercial transactions and cross-border settlements.

The combined financial strength of these institutions gives the project significant credibility and potential adoption across Asia.

2. Stablecoin Will Operate Through a Trust Structure

The digital currency will be issued through a trust arrangement rather than sitting directly on a bank balance sheet.

Under the structure, a designated trust institution will hold reserves while the participating banks act as joint settlors.

This approach is designed to improve transparency, strengthen regulatory compliance, and reduce operational risks.

3. Project Pax and Progmat Form the Foundation

The initiative builds on Project Pax, launched in 2024 to improve international payment efficiency.

The system utilizes Progmat, a blockchain infrastructure developed by MUFG that supports tokenized financial assets and digital settlement capabilities.

Japanese regulators have reportedly overseen portions of the project since late 2025, indicating significant government involvement and support.

4. ¥1 Trillion Stablecoin Target by 2028

Pilot programs connected to the initiative have already discussed issuance targets approaching ¥1 trillion by 2028.

If achieved, this would create one of the largest bank-backed stablecoin ecosystems in Asia and could significantly expand the use of tokenized settlement mechanisms for international trade and finance.

Why It Matters

This announcement reflects a broader trend unfolding across the global financial system.

While central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) continue to face political and regulatory debate, stablecoins are increasingly emerging as a practical bridge between traditional banking and blockchain-based finance.

Major financial institutions around the world are investing heavily in tokenization technologies because they offer:

  • Faster settlement speeds

  • Reduced transaction costs

  • Improved cross-border payment efficiency

  • Greater transparency and auditability

  • Enhanced liquidity management

Japan's move is particularly significant because it comes from some of the most conservative and systemically important financial institutions in the world.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For those following developments related to international monetary reform and the evolution of global finance, Japan’s stablecoin initiative demonstrates that large banking systems are actively preparing for a future where digital representations of fiat currencies move alongside traditional money.

The project does not replace the Japanese yen but instead creates new infrastructure that allows the yen to operate more efficiently in a digital environment.

As more countries and institutions adopt tokenized settlement networks, global commerce could become increasingly interconnected through blockchain-based payment systems rather than legacy correspondent banking networks.

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 1: Digital Financial Infrastructure Expansion

The launch of a major bank-backed stablecoin network demonstrates that financial institutions continue investing in blockchain-based payment systems as part of the modernization of global finance.

Digital settlement layers are gradually becoming integrated into traditional banking architecture rather than existing outside it.

  • Pillar 2: Evolution of Cross-Border Payments

International payment efficiency remains a priority for governments and financial institutions.

Projects such as Japan’s stablecoin initiative support a broader trend toward faster and more direct settlement mechanisms that may eventually reduce reliance on older payment channels.

The result is not necessarily the replacement of existing currencies but the creation of a more technologically advanced financial ecosystem.

What Comes Next

Attention now shifts toward regulatory approvals, technical development, and pilot testing ahead of the planned March 2027 launch.

Financial institutions across Asia will closely watch whether the initiative succeeds in reducing settlement costs and increasing transaction efficiency.

If successful, Japan’s model could encourage additional banking consortiums worldwide to develop similar stablecoin frameworks, accelerating the tokenization of global finance.

This is not just fintech innovation — it is another step in the modernization of the global financial architecture.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Inflation Hits Three-Year High as Energy Shock Rekindles Economic Concerns

Rising energy costs linked to Middle East instability are pushing inflation higher, increasing pressure on consumers, policymakers, and the global financial system.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

U.S. Inflation Hits Three-Year High as Energy Shock Rekindles Economic Concerns

Rising energy costs linked to Middle East instability are pushing inflation higher, increasing pressure on consumers, policymakers, and the global financial system.

Overview

U.S. inflation accelerated sharply in May, reaching its highest level in three years as surging energy prices continued to ripple through the economy. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-over-year, up from 3.8% in April, while monthly inflation increased by 0.5%.

The primary driver behind the increase was energy, which surged 23.5% over the past year amid ongoing tensions in the Middle East and disruptions surrounding critical oil supply routes. The report arrives as investors, central banks, and governments assess the broader economic impact of elevated energy costs and persistent inflationary pressures.

Key Developments

1. Inflation Climbs to Highest Level in Three Years

The latest CPI reading of 4.2% marks the strongest inflation rate since 2023. The increase matched market expectations but reinforces concerns that inflation remains more persistent than policymakers had hoped.

2. Energy Prices Lead the Surge

Energy prices rose 23.5% year-over-year, making them the largest contributor to overall inflation. Gasoline prices increased 7% during May alone and now stand more than 40% higher than a year ago, reflecting ongoing instability in global energy markets.

3. Core Inflation Remains More Moderate

Excluding food and energy, core inflation increased 2.9% annually, suggesting that broader price pressures remain relatively contained. Shelter costs rose 3.4%, while food prices increased 3.1%.

4. Federal Reserve Faces New Policy Challenges

The inflation report may complicate future Federal Reserve decisions regarding interest rates. Persistent inflation could force policymakers to maintain higher rates for longer, potentially slowing economic growth while attempting to control rising prices.

5. Middle East Conflict Continues Influencing Markets

Ongoing tensions involving Iran, the United States, and regional energy infrastructure continue to affect oil markets. Investors remain concerned that further disruptions could keep energy prices elevated and prolong inflationary pressures.

Why It Matters

The return of inflation above 4% highlights the continuing influence of geopolitical events on the global economy. Energy remains one of the most important inputs across nearly every sector, meaning sustained price increases can affect transportation, manufacturing, food production, and household budgets.

Higher inflation also impacts interest rates, borrowing costs, investment decisions, and government fiscal planning. As central banks attempt to balance inflation control with economic growth, markets may experience increased volatility.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders should monitor inflation trends closely because they directly influence monetary policy and exchange rates.

Key implications include:

• Potential delays in Federal Reserve rate cuts

• Continued strength in the U.S. dollar

• Increased volatility across global currency markets

• Higher borrowing costs for emerging economies

• Greater pressure on nations dependent on imported energy

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 1: Energy Remains a Primary Economic Driver

The inflation surge demonstrates that energy security remains central to global economic stability. Nations are increasingly seeking alternative supply chains and energy sources to reduce vulnerability to geopolitical disruptions.

  • Pillar 2: Higher Inflation Strengthens Monetary Policy Influence

Persistent inflation increases the likelihood that central banks will maintain restrictive monetary policies, affecting debt markets, currencies, and investment flows worldwide.

  • Pillar 3: Economic Realignment Accelerates

As nations respond to inflation, energy uncertainty, and shifting trade patterns, efforts to diversify reserves, payment systems, and supply chains may continue to gain momentum.

Future Outlook

The coming months will be critical as policymakers evaluate whether elevated inflation is temporary or becoming entrenched. Future movements in energy prices, particularly those tied to Middle East developments, will likely play a major role in determining inflation trends.

Markets will also focus on upcoming Federal Reserve decisions and whether policymakers signal a willingness to maintain higher interest rates for an extended period. Continued inflationary pressures could affect economic growth, consumer spending, and global investment flows throughout the remainder of the year.

When energy prices rise, inflation follows—and the ripple effects can reshape currencies, markets, and the future architecture of global finance.

The Ministry of Finance said in a statement, reported by Shafaq News Agency, that the minister stressed that the government has given the economic file high priority within its program, noting that the next stage will witness reforms aimed at addressing economic and financial challenges in a radical way, and in cooperation with international partners.

The minister revealed a government trend towards preparing a program budget and gradually moving away from the traditional budget system, with the aim of raising the efficiency of spending and linking financial allocations to goals and results, in line with the requirements of financial and administrative reform.

For his part, the US Chargé d'Affaires affirmed his country's support for the Iraqi government and its readiness to enhance economic and financial cooperation, in a way that contributes to supporting stability and achieving sustainable economic growth in Iraq.

This trend coincides with what the government spokesman, Haider al-Aboudi, announced, that the Council of Ministers approved a directive to proceed with drafting a "program budget" in coordination with the World Bank and the Parliamentary Finance Committee, within the framework of economic reform.  link

Tishwash:  The Iraqi government announces the establishment of a $150 billion development fund and sets a date for the end of the weapons collection campaign.

Iraqi government spokesman Haider al-Aboudi announced on Wednesday that the cabinet has decided to establish a development fund project with international guarantees and contributions amounting to $150 billion to achieve economic stability through investment. He also revealed that the timeframe for implementing the plan to restrict weapons to the state ends by next September, coinciding with the withdrawal schedule of international coalition forces from the country.

Al-Aboudi said during a press conference attended by Shafaq News Agency in Baghdad that the government based its management of its files on a national vision supported by the mandate and confidence of the House of Representatives, stressing its determination to commit to restricting weapons completely to the hands of the state according to the timetables specified in the ministerial program, which ends next September, coinciding with the end of the tasks of the international coalition.

The government spokesman added that the Cabinet, under the direction of the Prime Minister, approved the formulation of a "program budget" in coordination and joint cooperation with the World Bank and the Parliamentary Finance Committee to advance economic reform in the country.

In response to a question from the agency's correspondent, Al-Aboudi explained that the Development Fund represents an investment vehicle completely independent of the state's general budget, and is based on international contributions from Iraq's friends with guarantees ranging from $100 billion to $150 billion, with the aim of promoting sustainable stability.

Al-Aboudi indicated that the Prime Minister’s upcoming visit to the United States will resolve many issues, mainly related to economic aspects, stressing that Iraq adopts balanced and parallel relations with all countries.

Regarding the relationship with the Kurdistan Region, Al-Aboudi stressed that the Prime Minister directed the oil companies operating in the region to work on increasing oil production, with the aim of reaching financial outcomes and radical solutions that are directly related to securing the salaries of the region’s employees and getting out of the current crises.  link

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

Tishwash: The coordinating framework announces its support for Al-Zidi's economic vision and affirms: a movement to prepare a national paper and complete the cabinet.

The Coordination Framework held its periodic meeting at the office of the head of the National Wisdom Movement, Mr. Ammar al-Hakim, in the presence of the Prime Minister, Mr. Ali Falih al-Zaidi, to discuss all the political, economic and service files included on the agenda.

A statement issued by the media office of the Coordination Framework, received by the Iraq Observer Agency, stated that the attendees discussed government affairs extensively, with the Prime Minister presenting a comprehensive vision for addressing the emergency economic crisis, reviewing a number of solutions that received the support and endorsement of the Coordination Framework forces, particularly the urgent proposals for addressing the electricity crisis and activating labor and social security laws in support of the private sector and the working class.

The statement added that the assembled forces agreed to prepare a unified paper called the Coordination Framework, which includes the most important national issues to be presented and discussed within the State Administration Coalition to reach an agreement on them, while emphasizing that all political forces stand behind the government in parliament, politically and in the media to ensure the success of its reform program, as well as agreeing on the need to expedite the completion of the cabinet as soon as possible. link

Tishwash:  Indonesia surprises markets with an off-season interest rate hike to support the collapsing rupiah

Indonesia unexpectedly raised interest rates outside of its scheduled meetings, a rare move aimed at supporting the rupiah after a series of record declines. The central bank decided on Tuesday to increase the policy rate by 25 basis points to 5.50%, its first such move in eight years.

The bank explained that the decision came after the rupee had fallen at a faster pace than expected since the last meeting in May, when it raised interest rates by 50 basis points, exceeding estimates.

The move comes ahead of next week's Monetary Policy Committee meeting, at a time when the currency is under severe pressure after falling by about 8% since the start of the year and 7% since the outbreak of the war in Iran, making it one of the world's worst-performing currencies. Over the past three weeks, the rupee has recorded its biggest drop since 2020.

The central bank confirmed that raising interest rates represents "an additional measure to enhance exchange rate stability in light of high global volatility resulting from the war in the Middle East," in addition to being a proactive step to keep inflation within the target range during 2026 and 2027.

Temporary market recovery

The decision boosted the Indonesian currency, which closed at 18,050 against the dollar, after hitting a record low of 18,190 the previous day. The Jakarta stock exchange also rose 7.6%, despite having lost more than a third of its value since the beginning of 2026.

A tough battle to support the currency

Authorities are struggling to curb the rupee's decline, despite last month's aggressive interest rate hike and the depletion of nearly $12 billion in foreign exchange reserves this year in an attempt to defend the currency.

The rupee is under pressure from a number of factors that have worried investors, including President Prabowo Subianto’s massive spending plans, an inflated fuel subsidy budget, controversial commodity export policies, and doubts surrounding the central bank’s independence.

Interventions in the foreign exchange market have pushed reserves to their lowest level in nearly two years, after they fell by $1.3 billion in May to $144.9 billion, despite a government issuance of $3.5 billion in dollar and euro-denominated bonds.

Expectations of further tightening

Barclays Bank believes that the Indonesian central bank may continue monetary tightening, with an expected interest rate hike of another 25 basis points next week, and the possibility of resorting to a larger increase of up to 50 basis points.

He pointed to a similar precedent in 2013, when the bank raised interest rates in an emergency move and then lowered them later at the regular meeting, predicting that interest rate cuts would begin if the rupee stabilized.

Reassuring messages from the Central Bank

Bank Governor Pere Wargiu said foreign reserves were "more than sufficient" to support the currency, but declined to confirm a further rate hike soon, calling for waiting for next week's meeting.

He explained that the bank did not want to raise interest rates, but was forced to do so in order to attract investments, enhance the attractiveness of local assets, stabilize the currency, and curb inflation.

The rupee is expected to reach a range between 16,800 and 17,500 against the dollar by 2027, with continued intervention in domestic and foreign markets to support its stability.

Additional tools to attract funds

The central bank is also seeking to attract foreign investment by reducing the cost of hedging contracts by 10% for foreign investors, in addition to raising the returns on short and medium-term debt instruments.

Experts pointed out that bond yields in competing emerging economies such as Mexico, India and the Philippines remain high, increasing competition for capital flows.  link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday Morning 6-10-26

Economic Expert: The Priority Is Not The Strength Of The Dinar, But Securing Financial Liquidity.

 Baghdad Today – Baghdad     On Saturday (June 6, 2026), economist Ziad Al-Hashemi commented on the statements of the Prime Minister’s advisors regarding the government’s measures to stabilize the value of the Iraqi dinar and maintain its purchasing power, considering that the current timing is not appropriate for this economic discourse.

Al-Hashemi said in a post on social media, which was followed by “Baghdad Today”, that “the Iraqi Prime Minister’s office is talking about the government’s work to stabilize (the value of the Iraqi dinar) and maintain its purchasing power,” indicating that “in general this approach is good and required in principle, but now is not the time to talk about the value of the dinar or its purchasing power.”

Economic Expert: The Priority Is Not The Strength Of The Dinar, But Securing Financial Liquidity.

Al-Hashemi said in a post on social media, which was followed by “Baghdad Today”, that “the Iraqi Prime Minister’s office is talking about the government’s work to stabilize (the value of the Iraqi dinar) and maintain its purchasing power,” indicating that “in general this approach is good and required in principle, but now is not the time to talk about the value of the dinar or its purchasing power.”

He added that "the critical problem now is not the value or strength of the dinar, but rather the availability of the dinar. The government is clearly suffering from a lack of sufficient dinars to sustain its work and pay salaries on time, as a result of the decline in oil revenues to their lowest level."

He pointed out that "the government was required to speak transparently and to tell the people the extent of the problem, what its emergency plan is to deal with the shortage of dinar liquidity in its treasury, and what its procedures are to provide the liquidity required to feed public finances during this month and the coming months."

The economist explained: “As for talking about the value of the dinar, its purchasing power, and the inflation rate, this can be postponed to the future and after overcoming the current suffocating financial crisis that complicates the work of the Iraqi government and prevents it from performing its financial duties as it should,” stressing that “such statements about the value of the dinar are appropriate for normal conditions and not in an exceptional emergency situation in which the government is suffering from a shortage of dinars.”   https://baghdadtoday.news/300815-.html

Iraq Is Moving Towards Balancing Programs With US Support And In Coordination With The World Bank.

Money and Business    Economy News – Baghdad   Finance Minister Faleh Sari discussed on Wednesday with the US Chargé d'Affaires to Iraq, Joshua Harris, prospects for economic cooperation between Baghdad and Washington and ways to strengthen the partnership with US financial institutions, while both sides affirmed their support for the path of economic and financial reforms.

The Ministry of Finance said in a statement received by "Al-Eqtisad News" that the minister stressed that the government has given the economic file high priority within its program, noting that the next stage will witness reforms aimed at addressing economic and financial challenges in a radical way, and in cooperation with international partners.

The Prime Minister's Spokesperson: Salaries For Employees And Retirees Are Secured And There Is No Printing Of Currency.

Money and Business   Economy News – Baghdad   The spokesperson for the Prime Minister, Haider al-Aboudi, confirmed on Wednesday that the Prime Minister's upcoming visit to the United States will include important files and initiatives.

Speaking at a press conference held at the Council of Ministers and covered by "Al-Eqtisad News," al-Aboudi stated, "Based on the directives of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, the government has decided to adopt a program-based budget in coordination with the World Bank and the Parliamentary Finance Committee to gradually enhance economic reforms."

He added, "The Prime Minister has adopted the Development Fund project through effective international contributions, with an initial target of $100 billion, which could reach $250 billion." He pointed out that "the Development Fund is an investment vehicle funded by international contributions from Iraq's friends, and these contributions will cover the requirements of the development situation."

Al-Aboudi explained that "the government is adopting a program-based budget, but the Prime Minister has reservations about the current budget approach, believing it does not meet aspirations. He considers a program-based budget to be the best option at this stage." He reiterated that "the Prime Minister's upcoming visit to the United States will include important files and initiatives." https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70076

2027 knocks on the government's doors early... Time constraints and crises push Baghdad to exceed the 2026 budget.

 Baghdad Today – Baghdad    A government official revealed on Monday (June 8, 2026) that the government is moving towards preparing the draft general budget for 2027, in light of technical and financial difficulties that make preparing and approving an independent budget for 2026 a very complicated matter, after more than half of the current fiscal year has passed.

The official told Baghdad Today that "the remaining time in this year is no longer sufficient to prepare and approve a new budget for 2026, which prompted the government to focus on laying the foundations and estimates for the 2027 budget in line with the current economic reality."

He explained that this trend comes in light of increasing economic and financial challenges facing Iraq, as a result of rapid regional developments and their direct impact on energy markets and international trade.

He added that "the halt in oil exports due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz against the backdrop of the ongoing war in the region has imposed additional pressure on public revenues and the government's financing capacity," noting that the relevant authorities are monitoring economic developments on a daily basis to assess the extent of the potential repercussions.

The official stressed that the government is working on preparing realistic financial estimates for the upcoming budget, taking into account current economic variables, in order to ensure the sustainability of public spending and secure the state’s basic obligations, foremost among them salaries, services and vital projects.

Iraq faces increasing financial challenges due to its heavy reliance on oil revenues, which constitute the largest share of its general budget. With escalating regional tensions and disruptions to oil exports, concerns are growing about the impact on government spending and development plans, prompting authorities to reassess their financial priorities and develop more flexible scenarios for the coming years.  https://baghdadtoday.news/300859-2027-2026.html

Zaidi’s Government Adapt Long-Term Plan To Revive Iraqi Dinar

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mudher Mohammad Saleh, announced on Saturday, June 6, 2026, that the government of Ali Falih al-Zaidi has adopted a comprehensive package of long-term reformative measures designed to shield the purchasing power of the Iraqi dinar and curb inflation.

Saleh explicitly ruled out any possibility of raising the national currency’s value through abrupt, short-term administrative decrees, stating that sustainable monetary strength relies on deep structural overhauls rather than quick political fixes.

According to Saleh, the current government strategy has successfully stabilized market prices for consumer goods by channeling import financing through official banking systems, backed heavily by the state’s foreign currency reserves. This monetary control has been further reinforced by the physical expansion of modern, state-backed cooperative grocery networks and advanced marketing frameworks.

These parallel commercial steps have significantly diminished the influence of the informal shadow exchange market on the domestic pricing system, helping cap inflationary pressures.

However, the financial advisor issued a stark warning regarding active macroeconomic variables putting downward pressure on the dinar. Chief among these threats are rigid geopolitical constraints imposed on global energy markets, escalating regional conflicts, and the resulting volatility in foreign currency inflows and overall economic confidence. Saleh noted that an over-reliance on volatile crude oil revenues, unchecked monetary expansion, and any future drops in official reserves pose direct risks to the country’s fiscal health.

To permanently secure the currency, Saleh emphasized that the government is actively working on a long-term economic transition plan. This framework focuses on aggressively building up foreign exchange reserves, diversifying national income streams away from oil dependence, and stabilizing the country’s balance of payments.

Furthermore, the administration’s roadmap relies heavily on accelerating commercial banking sector reforms, rapidly expanding digital and electronic payment tools, and widening national financial inclusion to systematically dismantle the parallel market’s leverage over the national economy.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Dollar Holds Firm as Iran Tensions and Inflation Risks Keep Global Markets on Alert

Geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East and expectations for future interest-rate decisions are reinforcing the U.S. dollar’s central role in the global financial system.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Dollar Holds Firm as Iran Tensions and Inflation Risks Keep Global Markets on Alert

Geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East and expectations for future interest-rate decisions are reinforcing the U.S. dollar’s central role in the global financial system.

Overview

The U.S. dollar remained relatively stable as investors weighed two major market drivers: renewed tensions between the United States and Iran and anticipation surrounding key U.S. inflation data. While recent military exchanges near the Strait of Hormuz have raised concerns about energy security and regional stability, markets have largely avoided panic, instead focusing on how inflation trends may influence future Federal Reserve policy.

At the same time, rising expectations that major central banks may keep interest rates elevated have helped support the dollar. Investors are also watching developments in Japan and Europe, where policymakers face growing pressure to respond to persistent inflation and changing economic conditions.

Key Developments

1. U.S.-Iran Tensions Support Safe-Haven Demand

Recent military exchanges between Washington and Tehran have renewed concerns about stability in the Gulf region. Historically, geopolitical uncertainty tends to increase demand for the U.S. dollar as investors seek perceived safety during periods of market stress.

2. Inflation Data Becomes the Market’s Main Focus

Investors are closely monitoring upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for clues regarding the Federal Reserve's next policy move. Stronger-than-expected inflation could reinforce expectations that interest rates will remain higher for longer.

3. Federal Reserve Policy Remains a Key Driver

Recent economic data has continued to show resilience in the U.S. economy. Persistent inflation and strong employment figures have strengthened speculation that the Federal Reserve may delay rate cuts, providing continued support for the dollar.

4. Global Central Banks Face Growing Pressure

Beyond the United States, policymakers in Japan and Europe are confronting their own inflation challenges. Expectations that the Bank of Japan could continue tightening policy and that the European Central Bank may maintain a cautious stance are contributing to currency market volatility.

5. Energy Markets Remain Vulnerable

The ongoing situation surrounding the Strait of Hormuz continues to pose risks to global oil supplies. Any disruption to one of the world's most important energy transit routes could drive oil prices higher and create additional inflationary pressures worldwide.

Why It Matters

The dollar's stability highlights the powerful relationship between geopolitical events and monetary policy expectations. While conflicts often generate short-term safe-haven demand, long-term currency trends are increasingly shaped by central bank decisions and inflation dynamics.

For global financial markets, the combination of elevated energy risks and higher interest rates creates a challenging environment. A stronger dollar can increase borrowing costs worldwide, place pressure on emerging markets, and influence commodity prices across multiple sectors.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders should pay close attention to developments because dollar strength often impacts exchange rates, commodity prices, and international capital flows.

Potential effects include:

• Increased volatility across global currency markets

• Higher borrowing costs for emerging economies

• Pressure on countries carrying significant dollar-denominated debt

• Shifts in international trade settlement patterns

• Greater interest in alternative reserve assets and payment systems

Implications for the Global Reset

  • Pillar 1: The Dollar Remains the World's Safe-Haven Currency

Despite ongoing discussions about de-dollarization, global uncertainty continues to drive investors toward U.S. assets during times of crisis, reinforcing the dollar's dominant role.

  • Pillar 2: Inflation Is Reshaping Monetary Policy Worldwide

Central banks across major economies are navigating persistent inflation pressures, creating a new environment where interest rates may remain structurally higher than in the previous decade.

  • Pillar 3: Energy Security Continues to Influence Global Finance

Events near the Strait of Hormuz demonstrate how energy supply disruptions can quickly affect currencies, inflation expectations, and financial markets worldwide.

Future Outlook

Markets will remain focused on two critical factors: U.S. inflation data and developments in the Middle East. A stronger inflation reading could strengthen the dollar further by increasing expectations for prolonged higher interest rates.

At the same time, any escalation involving Iran and the United States could trigger additional safe-haven flows into the dollar and increase volatility across energy and currency markets. Investors will also be watching upcoming policy decisions from the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of Japan for signals about the next phase of global monetary policy.

When geopolitical tensions collide with inflation fears, the world's reserve currency becomes the focal point of global financial stability.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱


If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.


For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

When Leaving Your Home State Becomes a Duty

When Leaving Your Home State Becomes a Duty

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man)  June 9, 2026

In the year 1863, at the height of the Civil War in the United States that must have seemed at the time like an irrecoverable national death, a former bookkeeper turned entrepreneur built an oil refinery in Cleveland’s up-and-coming industrial area in order to capitalize on the market for kerosene.

His name was John Rockefeller. And within twenty years he would control close to 90% of the oil in America. And his Standard Oil would become the largest and most powerful company ever seen.

When Leaving Your Home State Becomes a Duty

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man)  June 9, 2026

In the year 1863, at the height of the Civil War in the United States that must have seemed at the time like an irrecoverable national death, a former bookkeeper turned entrepreneur built an oil refinery in Cleveland’s up-and-coming industrial area in order to capitalize on the market for kerosene.

His name was John Rockefeller. And within twenty years he would control close to 90% of the oil in America. And his Standard Oil would become the largest and most powerful company ever seen.

The trouble was holding it together. Standard Oil was comprised of a complex network of subsidiaries, and you practically had to be an engineer just to understand the structure.

The problem was that, in most states, a corporation wasn't even allowed to own another corporation.

That restriction sounds strange today, but back then the corporation was still a young, distrusted creature of the state, chartered to do one thing— for example, run a railroad or a bank— with privileges no ordinary person enjoyed.

Industrialization was minting a handful of staggeringly rich men— the titans a later generation would call “robber barons”— and the public watched them swallow up entire industries. People feared that letting one corporation own another corporation would stack company on company until the combination was beyond the reach of any single state.

So Rockefeller ran his empire through a workaround.

On January 2, 1882, he and eight fellow “trustees” signed the agreement creating the Standard Oil Trust, a small group of men who held the stock of some forty companies— refiners, pipelines, and distributors— and ran the whole thing as a single entity.

Great idea, but it was fragile. The trust had no real legal home, and the states Standard Oil operated in were beginning to notice.

In 1892, Ohio's attorney general hauled the company before the state Supreme Court and successfully argued his case; the court agreed, and ruled that Standard Oil had no right to hand itself over to out-of-state trustees. Consequently, Rockefeller had to cut all ties with the trust. And it appeared on paper that the whole arrangement was broken up.

Rockefeller went shopping to find a friendly state government that would let him keep control. And back in the late 1800s, there was exactly one place to do that.

New Jersey, hungry for revenue, rewrote its corporation law in 1888 and 1889 to let state-chartered companies own as many subsidiary companies as they wanted.

Under this new New Jersey law, for the first time a giant could put its whole empire under one legal roof— for a modest fee to the state.

It was purpose-built for the kind of company Rockefeller had. So in 1899, he reincorporated the entire empire as the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey: a single holding company that owned everything.

Initially, other states felt betrayed.

In 1905 the muckraker Lincoln Steffens branded New Jersey a "Traitor State" for getting rich by selling friendly charters to the monopolies while other states were trying to rein in those same monopolies.

New Jersey had made itself the best place in America to be a big, successful company, and it was eating everyone else's lunch.  That is, until New Jersey's own governor, Woodrow Wilson, ruined it. In 1913, in his final weeks as governor before leaving for the White House, he pushed through seven antitrust laws aimed at the very corporations the state had courted for a generation.

(Of course Wilson was just warming up. That same year he'd help ruin the whole country with the Federal Reserve and the federal income tax.)

Companies shopping for a friendly charter then shifted to Delaware, which had quietly copied New Jersey's law in 1899. New Jersey repealed Wilson’s anti-trust laws within a few years, but by then it was too late; Delaware had become the gold standard.

(Now Delaware has screwed it up and companies are redomiciling in Texas and Wyoming.)

Over the next century New Jersey became one of the most heavily taxed and regulated states in the country, and today it carries the highest corporate tax rate in the nation.

Yet Rockefeller's old empire kept its New Jersey home through it all.

When the Supreme Court broke Standard Oil into 34 companies in 1911, the largest piece was Standard Oil of New Jersey— which became Exxon, then ExxonMobil. And they remaind incorporated in New Jersey for 127 years.

Until now.

Just a few weeks ago, ExxonMobil shareholders voted 71% to move the company's legal home from New Jersey to Texas.

Perhaps the final straw came in 2022, when New Jersey's attorney general sued the company, along with the other oil majors, for allegedly “deceiving” the public about climate change.

Apparently it’s a private company’s responsibility to preach the Green Gospel to the world. Courts disagreed, and a judge threw out the lawsuit in 2025.

But the message was unmistakable: the companies that produce the energy powering modern life were no longer welcome in New Jersey.

New Jersey was joining a pile-on that had been building for years. In 2021, a tiny activist fund called Engine No. 1, holding a tiny amount of Exxon's stock, won three seats on its board. That hedge fund’s big idea was that the largest oil company on earth should pump less oil.

But Exxon refused to be run by people who wanted it to shrink. It beat the activists back— and its shareholders finished the job, voting the company out of New Jersey for good.

Granted, the move was almost ceremonial.

A company's legal home and its actual headquarters aren't the same thing: Exxon has been headquartered in Texas since 1989, while only its legal state of incorporation remained in New Jersey.

The vote didn't move a single desk. It just made the paperwork match a reality that had been true for decades— and fully aligned the company with a state that treats a profitable energy producer as a value creator, not a defendant.

And that is actually the point.

Exxon didn't bolt in a panic. It had watched New Jersey turn hostile for years. Slowly, over time, it weighed its options and prepared. The move wasn't impulsive— it was calculated long in advance.

This is not disloyalty, any more than New Jersey was a "traitor" for once being the friendliest place in America to do business.

Both were rational moves dressed up as betrayal (just as ExxonMobil is now being blasted for leaving New Jersey). You cannot expect to keep a company, or a person, or their capital, in a place that punishes them for succeeding.

In fact, for Exxon it was more than rational; it was a fiduciary duty. A board is legally bound to do what's best for its shareholders.

And as a father, I’d say a man owes his family the same kind of obligation to prepare— to study the world honestly and rationally, to line up options early, and to keep them ready, so that if the day ever comes, the groundwork is already done.

That is what having a Plan B actually means.
