Mnt Goat   "...it was decided to transfer all financial transactions electronically through the (POS) point of sale system in traffic departments in Baghdad and all governorates instead of cash dealing.” ...it is a borderline “WOW!” article for us today as Dinar investors. ...electronic banking and POS has been on the radar and will continue to be pivotal in the monetary reform process.... It is a very good step, a sign in the right direction and may help take the demand off the dollars thus reducing the rate in the black market for the dollar.

Frank26  It's no longer a rumor that Iraq is entering the World Trade Organization.  Vietnam is part of the World Trade Organization.  Their currency is worthless. Does that mean the Iraqi dinar that is worthless can join the WTO?  Yeah.  Does that mean the Iraqi dinar is going to stay worthless?  No...The whole world and the United States Treasury worked with the CBI...

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

"Hong Kong has launched a public consultation on proposed legislation for regulating over-the-counter virtual asset trading, the jurisdiction’s website said on Thursday."

The public consultation will give the public time to voice their concerns about the regulatory proposals of stablecoins.

The final step will be the implementation of government licensing for digital asset providers of OTC trading services.

The consultation will last until April 12, 2024. At that time, the rollout of the sandbox of many Global Stablecoins tested in their pilot program will be available for Global Trade.  The Block

There have been many debates about the use of XRP as a stablecoin as of late.

Many prominent institutions have been calling for a gold-backed stablecoin from institutions like the World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and World Gold Council.

These institutions have been encouraging the development of such a project so Central Banks could tokenize their gold reserves.

Nothing has been turned into a form of an announcement yet, but it sure does look like the IMF, the World Bank, and the World Gold Council would like to see this happen through XRP.

It would not be a surprise to this author that a Bretton Woods announcement including a gold-backed stablecoin such as Ripple would lead the way.   CoinGape

Trade Finance Poised for Digital Revolution Though Obstacles Remain - Fintech Singapore

"The trade finance industry has been aspiring for greater digitalization, striving to tap into potential benefits such as improved transparency, efficiency, risk mitigation and support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

But despite some progress, advancements have been slow for the past few decades due to legal obstacles, the lack of standards, and the need for unifying technologies, a new paper by Deutsche Bank says.

The paper, titled “A Guide to Digital Trade Finance”, examines the progress that has been made so far, as well as what is still needed on the road ahead. The guide provides a practical toolkit for the industry, leveraging expert opinions from various stakeholders to explore the role of banks in digitalization initiatives, legal frameworks, international standards and innovative technologies."

The world of cross-border payments continues to progress, building on the momentum gained in 2023, and is ready to navigate a new suite of products from Swift. According to The Bank of England, the value of cross-border payments is expected to grow from almost USD 150 trillion in 2017 to over USD 250 trillion by 2027, a spike of over USD 100 trillion in just 10 years. 

Part of the process enabling that growth of course comes from Swift. It has recently focused on what could be seen as a reorganization and repackaging of its products into a suite called Swift Essentials. Swift believes the new package improves several important policies and processes including, but not limited to, the speed and reliability of cross-border transactions but also extending into compliance, integration, and corporate treasury management.   www.bankofengland.co.uk

For The Second Week In A Row...Oil Prices Are Affected By Tensions In The Middle East And Are Rising

Money  and business   Economy News - follow up  Oil prices rose at the close, after geopolitical tensions in the Middle East overshadowed the forecasts of the International Energy Agency, which warned of a slowdown in demand.

Brent crude futures rose 61 cents, or 0.74%, at settlement to $83.47 per barrel. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures also rose $1.16, or 1.49%, to $79.19 per barrel.

Prices rose for the second week in a row, as Brent rose by more than 1% by the end of the week, while US crude rose by about 3%, according to Reuters.

Prices received support due to the increasing risk of a broader conflict in the Middle East.

The Lebanese Hezbollah group said on Thursday that it had fired dozens of rockets at a town in northern Israel in an “initial response” to the killing of ten civilians in southern Lebanon, the largest number of civilians killed in one day during four months of cross-border hostilities.

Officials said that the largest hospital in Gaza is still operating under the Israeli siege during the war that Israel is waging with the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), while warplanes bombed the city of Rafah, the last refuge for Palestinians in the Strip.

The threats continued in the Red Sea after a missile launched from Yemen hit an oil tanker heading to India.

Producer prices in the United States rose more than expected in January, which could exacerbate fears that inflation will rise again.

The International Energy Agency said on Thursday that the growth of global oil demand is slowing, and it reduced its forecast for growth in 2024.

The 5 Levels of Wealth and How To Get There

The 5 Levels of Wealth and How To Get There

January 27, 2024 By Sheiresa McRae Ngo, AI Editor

If building wealth is one of your goals this year, you’re not alone. Roughly 48% of Americans are making financial resolutions for 2024 according to a study by Allianz Life Insurance Company. This is up from 43% last year.

Certified financial planners Brian Preston and Bo Hanson, hosts of The Money Guy Show, discussed how to reach the five levels of wealth. Here’s what they revealed about each wealth level and how to get there. 

Level 1: Stability

of their show, Hanson and Preston explain that financial stability signifies the ability to pay your bills without living paycheck to paycheck. This level is not solely about income, as even high earners can struggle to achieve stability. It’s about adopting a mindset of deferred gratification and discipline in spending.

Key aspects of stability include eliminating bad debts, following a budget, and understanding the importance of saving. To assess if you’re at this stage, check if you are not relying on services like “buy now, pay later,” have an emergency fund, and are not carrying a credit card balance.

Level 2: Strategy

Moving up the wealth pyramid, the next stage is strategy. Here, you’re no longer just surviving; you’re beginning to make your money work for you. This level involves controlling your paycheck rather than letting it control you. It’s about having a financial plan and executing it, not just dreaming.

Investing for Everyone

Strategy is also about educating yourself financially and avoiding the trap of chasing the latest investment fads. To transition to this stage, focus on increasing your income, managing major expenses wisely, and ensuring your spending aligns with your financial goals.

Level 3: Security

Member: Hoping Mark has great news for us today!

MZ: Not a lot of RV news but there is tremendous pressure from Sudani to remove all US presence is Iraq. Both Financial restrictions and the military .

MZ: “Sudani urges ending foreign forces presence in Iraq “ Not just military but it is time for Iraq to be autonomous and sovereign so they want the removal of US forces and also financially . They want the US military to leave immediately because of their destabilizing affect and to reorganize the US-Iraq relationship financially

MZ: There has been a number of articles this week where they are pushing to remove US tentacles from their financial world as well. This is big.

MZ: Very quiet from bonds, banking and redemption centers. But I do know of some redemption center contacts working today- So if I learn anything I will post it on Telegram, X and Truth.

MZ: There is a lot of great chatter coming out of groups . And some bond folks have great expectations for this week. But I have more bond contacts that will not speak anymore. It all sounds good and let us hope this is it.

MZ: “ FedEx Founder issues dire warning about unsustainable government debt”  Yet another titan of industry telling us we are soon to pass the lexicon…that we are about to implode if we do not deal with our financial house …We are not the only one as many countries in the world are in worse shape, but we are all reaching the point of no return.

MZ: I hypothesize we may have already past the point of no return and there is a necessity now for our reset.

MZ: “West could upend global financial system-Russia Central Bank”  European banks and US banks have seized about $300Billion in assets like yachts, ect of people in Russia. They have not liquidated them yet but there is a movement in the EU and the US to liquidate those holdings and send them to the Ukraine.

MZ: What would that do to international business? Would this make Russia working with Chcina and other friendly BRICS countries to freeze assets belonging to the west? Then liquidate them to pay for years of abusive sanctions? What would this do to the world?

Member: How will we know in the US when to go exchange and where the exchange centers are???

Ariel (@Prolotario1): Basel III Empowers the Citizens, Not the Banks

I Guess This Is The End:

The Fall of Baal Info came out via Militia-Man & Crew that confirm what I shared with you all about Texas when redeeming currency for precious metals that once the Iraqi Dinar is on the Forex anyone will be able to convert into Gold & Silver. 

Do you all know how monumental this is?

Remember the 43 states that pass bills to make metals legal tender? This means your money will be 100% tax-free. This means that if you purchase property with gold mortgage, taxes, liens, etc, it will not be a factor in any capacity. 

Why do you think bankers fear Basel 3? 

Remember what the MBA stated a few days ago? That the entire model of real estate will change because of B-3. “The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) has voiced strong opposition to the Basel capital rule changes, pointing out seven key areas that could affect major banks and regional banks, lenders, servicers, and borrowers within the housing finance ecosystem. Here’s a closer look at these crucial concerns”. End quote. 

Basel 3 empowers the citizens. Not the banking industry. This is why they are now trying to double down on the Dodd Frank Act. Which allows the bank to legally confiscate your money making them impervious to lawsuits.

You all have to understand. In the 1970s, boomers bought houses for 10k-20k. Now do you all see why bankers were crying to Congress about Basel 3 on Capitol Hill a couple of months ago? 

The days of writing up mortgages with interest rates that only exist on a computer screen with nothing in the bank vaults to support the contract written out homebuyers that agree to honor that over decades on a monthly basis.

Not knowing they financially entrapped themselves by signing off on a document that allows the bank to seize or confiscate your property due to delinquency in payments for money they never physically possessed themselves to underwrite a contract based on nothing but a promise and not assets are over.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-02-12/basel-iii-threatens-real-estate-financing-in-us-mba-chief-says

The incentive to make money in the mortgage market will be taken away once Basel 3 is implemented. Which is wonderful for citizens.

Tishwash:  Currency speculators make confessions via INA 

The Directorate of Combating Organized Crime of the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Agency at the Ministry of Interior detained individuals who were involved in dollar speculating, bank card smuggling, and gambling. The confessions of these individuals are published by the Iraqi News Agency (INA).

Dollar-speculating

During his confession of engaging in dollar price speculation, one of the accused stated, "What we are doing is withdrawing the dollar from the market, and when its prices rise, it is resold again." 

"Some offices of currency exchange businesses or Qi companies operate in buying and selling dollars and making transfers without official permission," he said.

Trafficking in bank cards

"We load the card in Iraq at the official exchange rate, then withdraw money in the UAE through an ATM, and then transfer it to Iraq at the parallel market price," stated a second person charged with bank card trafficking.  

He declared: "I obtained 34 cards through illicit means. I obtained citizens' documents by using them to issue cards while posing as a seller of electrical devices that I planned to sell in installments.

Gambling through (Forex) 

Although "the Forex site is speculating in global currencies, whether the dollar against the euro or the euro against the yen and enters the gambling field," another accused who engaged in gambling on the website acknowledged this. 

"The Central Bank and the Iraq Securities Commission have not granted a license to the company we work for," he said, adding that "the mechanism of work in Forex includes the introduction of citizen courses through targeting them on Instagram or Facebook, where the citizen enters a course in this work and we educate him in this field." 

"Not to be drawn into these things because they are illegal," he urged the people.

In an interview with the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Colonel Ahmed Mohammed, the Director of media for the Federal Intelligence and Investigation Agency, reaffirmed that the arrests of those responsible for these acts are being carried out in compliance with the law under Article No. (2) of the Anti-Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing Law No. (39) of 2015.  link

Frank26  What they are giving the banks we're calling them specimen sheets.  The specimen sheets are of high quality...If I was the CBI I would be giving all my banks inside of Iraq specimen sheets of high quality - samples of the lower notes that I'm about to give to the citizens of Iraq...If I was the CBI I would not have these specimen sheets for the citizens... They'd be using them, the bank employees, to learn about the new lower notes and to learn about the security features...These HIGH quality sample sheets are only for the bank employees...

Militia Man  Article: "Minister of Commerce: International welcome and desire to increase investments in Iraq"  Article quote: "the meeting came out with many decision that were approved including ... welcoming Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization."  That's awesome...Are we waiting for a major announcement?  Remember Salih said there was going to be a major announcement and we haven't heard it yet.  This right here is that this major announcement?  I don't think so.  It's almost like leakage...

A Major Economy Enters Recession Signaling No Escape For America & The World

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Friday Evening 2-16-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

New Delhi, Feb 09: "The call for institutional reforms resounded strongly from the United Nations headquarters as Secretary-General Antonio Guterres pressed for comprehensive changes, starting with a significant overhaul of the Security Council and the Bretton Woods Institutions – the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF)."

Just recently, Jerome Powell and Janet Yellen have been calling for a serious conversation about our 34 trillion dollar national debt. They are saying that the move toward a sustainable fiscal path is of most importance.

A sustainable fiscal policy happens when the ratio of debt held by the public to GDP is stable or declining over time.

It is no secret that the old Financial System is not going to get us to where we need to be anymore. For the past 2 years and almost a half, we have been working on tokenizing assets and creating legislation leading to laws that will govern our new digital asset-based trading system on the QFS.

In just 5 more days, Protocol 20 will be voted on and implemented. The process of expanding into our new digital banking system will commence.

Everything is going to be tokenized. Everything will be backed by a commodity. Everything will be run on a Quantum Technological Financial System.

The IMF and the World Bank have been working with countries around the world to change and implement new monetary policies through economic reforms designed to put us on a Sustainable Financial path.

These consultations have allowed countries to develop new digital mechanisms with the guidance of the IMF through Economic Reforms.

The World Bank is responsible for lending money to poorer countries. Their involvement along with the IMF is calling for movement forward inside a new digital asset-based trading system.

NPCI to launch real-time payment link between India and US

...the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) is reportedly in discussions with Indian and US banks to establish a real-time payment link between the two countries, as per a report from the Economic Times. The initiative seeks to utilize NPCI's expertise in cross-border payments. NPCI is said to be collaborating with Indian banks familar with the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) and foreign banks to develop models and conduct pilot tests. 

Additionally, NPCI is engaging with FedNow, the real-time payment service launched by the US Federal Reserve in July last year, or its UPI equivalent. The proposed payment model between India and the United States is expected to focus initially on small consumer transactions due to the absence of a nationwide system similar to UPI in the US. Transactions under this model are likely to be limited in scale and value, with only modest payments permitted initially. 

Under this model, transactions involving sending or receiving money from relatives would necessitate the involvement of a large Indian bank for Indian consumers, while in the US, individuals can use American banks for such transactions.  The Paypers

Jerome Powell highlighted CBDC and stablecoins in a meeting with Democrats from the House Financial Services Committee.

The World Bank’s classification of XRP as a stablecoin in the context of its utility in the payment landscape has recently resurfaced in the crypto community. 
World Bank Calls XRP Stablecoin.

Notably, the classification came in a November 2021 research paper titled “Central Bank Digital Currencies for Cross-Border Payments.”

The report considered the endeavors undertaken at the time to streamline cross-border payments for efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

It recognized stablecoins as a digital currency category that provides instantaneous processing and secure payments. In particular, the report laid emphasis on their stability concerning parity with fiat currencies.

Based on this premise, the World Bank identified two virtual assets that they believe fall into the stablecoin category: Ripple’s cross-border payment currency, XRP, and the native asset of the Stellar network, XLM.

The World Bank report also emphasized that XRP and XLM enable faster and more efficient cross-border payments than traditional correspondent banking methods.  The Crypto Basic  Crypto Politan

Blockchain Technology For Verifying Election Data

More than 60 countries around the world will hold national and regional elections this year, making 2024 the biggest election year in history. But there are growing concerns that misinformation and disinformation driven largely by artificial intelligence (AI) will impact the elections.

An example of this recently occurred when an AI-enabled call using United States President Joe Biden’s voice phoned thousands of people across the U.S.

Findings from The World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2024 further show that misinformation and disinformation are likely to be a top global risk in the next two years.

The report states that “foreign and domestic actors alike will leverage misinformation and disinformation to widen societal and political divides.”

The report also noted this risk will be even greater given that there will be a large number of elections in the near future, as more than 3 billion people are due to head to the polls in 2024 and 2025.

Crypto adoption is becoming mainstream. We're seeing development in election blockchain integration, healthcare payment integration, and even seeing the payment classification of XRP and XLM by the World Bank. Our world is about to expand into a new digital age.
