Clare:  Sudanese calls on the private industrial sector to invest in raw materials available in Iraq

5/23/2024

Tuesday, Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani called on the Iraqi private industrial sector to invest in the raw materials available in the country.

This came during the launch, in Najaf Governorate, today, of the executive works on the Iraqi Diyar Glass Factory project.

The project is the first to be implemented in accordance with the sovereign guarantees approved in the budget, and in cooperation between the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) and the German Export Bank. It also represents the most important forms of cooperation between Iraq and Germany, the foundations of which were laid during His Excellency’s visit to the German capital, Berlin.

Al-Sudani stated that this factory is being implemented in an industrial city by an investor who is responsible for providing all services. The industrial city is also preparing to embrace industrialists and provide land and services, which is a feature that we aspire to be implemented in all governorates.

He pointed to the new project, which is the first to produce glass, with a capacity of 800 tons per day, which means 25% of the local market’s need. The factory will rely on silica available in Iraq, stressing the availability of many raw materials that have not been invested. He also directed the necessity of implementation according to the plan and schedule. Timeline.

The Prime Minister affirmed the government’s support for the private sector, and the provision of guarantees for all priority projects, especially the housing and construction sector, which represents a large demand for construction materials, indicating the country’s need to triple the existing factories for coverage.

Al-Sudani called on the serious private sector to invest in this important opportunity, as the government continues to remove obstacles and bureaucracy, as this path will provide real job opportunities, and larger industries will settle in this city and other industrial cities.  LINK

Clare:  Al-Sudani: We will not let the projects stop in any governorate, and their completion will change the economic and social reality

5/23/2024

Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani stressed today, Thursday, that we will not let the projects stop in any governorate, indicating that their completion will change the economic and social reality of the governorate.

Secret Banking Crisis Looms; What the Fed Doesn’t Want You to Know – Insider Nomi Prins

Daniela Cambone:  5-22-2024

"The Fed needs to understand its boundaries and stop pretending it’s like inflation Superman," says Dr. Nomi Prins, geopolitical finance expert and bestselling author.

She explains that the Fed has no ability to impact real inflation — the increased prices that individuals and companies face daily. She also discusses how the Fed is operating in conjunction with big banks.

Banks remit their excess earnings to the Fed, which then passes those earnings to the Treasury Department. However, because the banks haven’t reported enough of their excess earnings, the Fed is operating at a loss.

She warns that if these banks collapse, we can expect more quantitative easing and a return to zero interest rates.

Goldilocks' Comments and Global Economic News Thursday Evening 5-23-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

What Is a Private Wealth Manager?

A bank's ledger balance is a record of all transactions that have been processed and approved at the end of a business day, including deposits, withdrawals, interest income, and bill payments.

That being said, is it really a stretch to anyone's imagination that we are moving into a digital processing center on a Global scale, and the banking system is just simply one section interfaced onto a Quantum Technological Systematic set of protocols designed to run numbers on equations until a balance between two parties are cleared?

Yes, we are finding that many positions in the banking system and around the world can be automated. Still, the need for a personal touch remains. This would account for why Personal Wealth Manager positions are on the rise and Banks are currently making these changes to meet the needs of a new society.

The synchronization of human behavior and technological advances are currently being held at a balance. Where we go from here will be determined by the choices both AI and Human Nature co-create in this new world. 

There will always be pros and cons to each choice we make going forward, but the integration of the Techno-Human Race is forging a new path. It is an experimentation beyond everything we have encountered so far in history.

Movement forward is both scary and filled with opportunity. Yet, inside each of us is an explorer of space and time. We are walking into new frontiers and decisions will have to be made by each of us how far we are willing to go.

The transition into digital money and sudden wealth is a much larger step than many realize. We will cross over into a dimension of life few have seen in this lifetime.

We are at a crossroads, and movement into a new digital world that moves our money and the choices we make is rapidly approaching.

True freedom will not be the result of sudden wealth. Freedom comes from a much deeper place. The more that is given to us, the more is required for us to reach into those places hands can no longer touch. Here, we ask for wisdom and guidance from a place of creativity. Our creative nature knows how to walk beside the presence of our Creator forming a relationship that always has, is, and will be with us to the end.

The time to evolve is right in front of us now, and the choice to become creative entrepreneurs exploring New Frontiers is calling on us to resonate with new vibrations capable of moving our attention into higher ground.  |  CFA Institute

"XRP Price Nears Major Converging Point: Analyst Predicts 3,600% Jump To $20" |  Trading View

When you take a look at some of the technical analysis on the price of XRP, it currently has a Relative Strength Index potential of moving into a bull run.

"An RSI is a technical tool used to measure the speed and change of price movements in a cryptocurrency. It is also used to determine the short-term momentum of a cryptocurrency’s market."

Twenty dollars would be just a beginning point of reference to obtain on its way to integrating its full demand over time at much higher levels.

Remember, Ripple is the liquidity coin that allows the movement of our money to take place in the digital economy. Ripple uses its cryptocurrency, XRP, as a liquidity bridge for cross-border payments. Financial institutions can convert fiat currency into XRP, send it across the XRP Ledger blockchain, and then convert it back to the destination currency.

It is necessary for Ripple to have a much higher price range than it is currently displaying to bring in a catalyst for its movement.

Ripple is moving from a speculative investment to one that is based on demand. This shift in its purpose and its role in the new economy will raise it to much higher levels to meet these new demands inside the new digital asset-based economy.

From a trading perspective, the movement of Ripple in its price and demand will pull us into the next economy.

Watch Ripple.

9 Ways To Become Rich If You Were Born Poor

9 Ways To Become Rich If You Were Born Poor

Cindy Lamothe   Fri, May 17, 2024,

Growing up with wealth is a privilege that lends financial stability and provides greater opportunities for future success. But what if you weren’t born with a silver spoon in your mouth? It’s hard to fathom going from poor to wealthy in a single lifetime, but according to experts, it’s not some distant fantasy. It isn’t easy either.

 “Wealth building for individuals starting from a disadvantaged economic position requires a multifaceted approach, focusing on education, smart financial decisions and leveraging available opportunities creatively,” said Dennis Shirshikov, head of growth at Summer.

“Education, both formal and informal, is a cornerstone. It’s not just about earning degrees but acquiring financial literacy,” he added.

Overall, though, some experts disagree on how best to build wealth — especially when starting from a place of financial insecurity. Some say to invest in education, while others suggest skipping the fancy schools altogether.

Below are some ways to become rich if you’re starting out with limited resources, according to the experts.

Capitalize on High Demand Skills or Industries

One strategy, according to Shirshikov, is to capitalize on high-demand skills or industries.

“Whether it’s learning a trade, tech skills or entering emerging markets, aligning one’s skillset with market demands can provide a substantial economic uplift.”

Start a Business

Entrepreneurship also plays a crucial role, Shirshikov continued. “It involves higher risks but offers greater control and higher rewards.

“I’ve observed several cases where individuals from modest backgrounds have started their own businesses in fields as varied as cleaning services to tech consultancies, scaling these ventures into substantial wealth over time.”

The key, he says, lies in starting small, minimizing initial costs and gradually expanding as the business generates revenue.

Focus on Getting a Good Education

“The key to building wealth for people starting from scratch is to focus on getting a good education and developing valuable skills,” said Joe Chappius, financial planning and tax expert at TaxClimate.com.

“This builds you a solid foundation that will open doors to better job opportunities and higher income for you later on.”

Melanie Musson, finance expert with Clearsurance, agrees.

“Take a class and read some books. When you don’t grow up rich, you miss out on the lifestyle learning you get just by living in a wealthy household. So, to make up for that, you have to take the initiative to educate yourself.”

10 ASEAN Countries To Ditch the U.S. Dollar

Vinod Dsouza   May 20, 2024

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries are looking to promote local currencies for trade and ditch the U.S. dollar for cross-border transactions. ASEAN consists of 10 countries and their economies are fast developing in the global sphere. This puts the USD under pressure, as several developing countries including the ASEAN bloc are looking to end reliance on the U.S. dollar.

Source: orfonline.org  

ASEAN: 10 Countries Look To Stop Using the U.S. Dollar, Settle Trade Payments in Local Currencies Instead

The 10 ASEAN countries that are looking to stop using the U.S. dollar for trade are Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. According to the latest figures from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), commonly called the World Bank, the combined GDP of ASEAN nations currently stands at around $4 trillion.

If the ASEAN alliance completely starts using local currencies for trade, the U.S. dollar will be in jeopardy. In particular, Indonesia is the most aggressive among the lot in pushing the de-dollarization agenda ahead. Indonesian President Joko Widodo is urging the bloc to quickly move away from the U.S. dollar and start using local currencies.

The move will strengthen their native economies giving local currencies a boost in the global foreign exchange markets. Several developing countries fear the rising U.S. debt of $34.4 trillion can affect their native economies and businesses. Therefore, the only solution to American debt is to make ASEAN countries use local currencies and sideline the U.S. dollar.

The U.S. pressing sanctions on other developing countries is also among the reasons why ASEAN wants to ditch the dollar. A stronger local currency will have no adverse effects from U.S. sanctions making their economies safer. In conclusion, the next decade will be different for the U.S. dollar as many nations are looking to uproot it.

BRICS: America’s 4th Largest Bank Warns of Economic Crash

Joshua Ramos  May 22, 2024

Amid the ongoing geopolitical shift brought about by the BRICS economic alliance, America’s 4th largest bank has warned of an impending economic crash. Specifically, Citigroup’s chief US economist, Andrew Hollenhorst, has spoken with CNBC regarding his concerns for the United States and its economic fragility.

Hollenhorst discussed his concerns, specifically regarding the labor market. He noted that the deterioration of the hiring sector could have dire implications for the country. Ultimately, he spoke on why a hard landing may be all but an inevitability for the nation.

Citigroup Warns of Potential Economic Crash

Over the last year, the BRICS economic alliance has observed significant growth. Not only has the bloc embraced its first expansion initiatives since 2001, but it has also embraced alliance-wide economic policies. These infrastructure developments hinder international reliance on the US dollar while promoting local currency use.

Now, the geopolitical shift that the BRICS bloc has orchestrated may be playing a part in America’s 4th largest bank warning of an impending economic crash. Specifically, Citigroup’s Andrew Hollenhorst noted that a hard landing is likely in the cards.

“Firms are hiring at a lower rate. Firms are having workers work less hours,” Hollenshorrts told CNBC. “So this gradual softening has already started. That tends to snowball and end up in something that looks more like a hard landing.”

Moreover, Hollenhorst noted that some reports have expressed a more concerning view of the economic circumstances. Additionally, he noted that a recession could be set to follow any hard landing that takes place. Specifically, he notes that small businesses have displayed the lowest levels of hiring intentions since 2016.

Furthermore, the hiring rate is at its lowest level since 2014, Hollenhorst stated. Therefore, the labor market’s reality coincides with the overall interest rate issue, inflation persists, and optimism does not appear to be a logical response.

All of this will also contend with the ongoing US dollar questions that have arisen in recent months. The BRICS alliance has driven a global shift toward gold and other assets. Therefore, ongoing debt concerns and de-dollarization initiatives will only increase pressure on the US in its most dire state.

“Tidbits From TNT” Thursday 5-23-2024

TNT:

Note: All intel should be considered as "Rumors" until we receive official announcements ...and “Rates and Dates” could change anytime until we get to the banks/redemption centers.

HappyWelshGuy:  RV Update - The Truth

Tony, is quite correct the RV will happen soon.......But not yet

This is what is really happening...

There is a carefully, orchestrated plan in effect, that is being meticulously monitored

Tier # 1 and Tier # 2 is currently being financially hydrated

When this is completed to the satisfaction of the Alliance then and only then will Tier # 3 be financially hydrated

When this is completed to the satisfaction of the Alliance then and only then will Tier # 4 (US) the internet group be financially hydrated

Everything is currently "On Track" and moving to expectation

If everything continues to expectation, then Tier # 4 should be financially on or about JUNE 15th with a back wall of July 4th

It is "NOT" going to happen today, tomorrow or this month

However, Tony is right

It will be our time soon

Nothing will stop this except for a 911 type event

Remain positive and in anticipation

My source actually sits on a special committee formatted for the very specific purpose of the timing of the revaluation to take place

June 15th, is not that far away so remain patient and be in expectation

~~~~~~~~~~

Fuze:  Don't get me wrong, it is possible this could extend to early June but the point is, it's suspicious for the reasons stated in this widely distributed all of a sudden mysterious source. There is legitimate Intel from literally the horses mouth that June was a best Target month of Dr. Shabibi (bless his sole) why?

Because he said " the "project to delete the zeros with the rate change should be done at the beginning or middle of Iraqs fiscal year" FOR ACCOUNTING purposes!

June is the middle of their fiscal year at present. In addition, one time in the past when the project was postponed in 2012 it was earmarked to go June 2013 according to a declassified MOF document and US Congressional Report.

These are well documented facts in video format and documents from non Maliki, non social media credible sources!!! So early to mid June would not be a surprise,

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

Tishwash:  Economist: We are experiencing a good financial year and the rise in salary expenses must be reconsidered

The economic expert, Safwan Qusay, considered Iraq’s fiscal year “good,” while stressing the need to reconsider the rise in salary expenses.

Qusay said, during his hosting of the program {Free Speech} broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel this evening, that: “

The process of implementing the program of the government of Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani requires {operational and investment} spending, and there are priorities voted on by Parliament, and it is held accountable for achieving these goals, so the process of allocating financial allocations To achieve these goals, it requires scientific foundations and program costs. So far, the issue is items, not programs, costs, accounting, and the establishment of a unified treasury in order not to wait for schedules, and in order for it not to be repeated in 2025.

The government is required to set estimates by establishing a unified treasury and spending and collection units on a daily basis
Parliament is one case, as they both seek to achieve their goals.

- We are facing a good year, considering that oil prices are above $70, and zero oil and other imports will contribute to reducing expenses and increasing revenues.

- The government is seeking to establish investment projects parallel to oil revenues, and the increase in salary spending needs to be restored Consider

-The timetable determines the mechanism for disbursing expenditures as it tries to move from items to programs -
Government achievements for the year 2024 can raise cash revenues

- Federal ministries must be coherent and complementary to one another, as increasing non-oil revenues enhances the value of the dinar. Iraqi, and the need to reconsider the nature of contracts with foreign companies.

-International prices change, so if the financial foundations are understood by the government, it can certainly change them.

The Ministry of Finance is required to assume that the project that it cannot finance is a source of income that is subject to investment.  link

Member: A very good morning to everyone today.

Member: RV there yet…lol

Member: have any of you heard anything about 800 numbers possibly being sent out by the end of this week????

Member: There are lots of rumors out there that this is our weekend.

Member: I watched the MM & crew this morning ….UNBELIEVABLY GOOD

MZ: Welcome MilitiaMan ….what is the latest?

MM: I had an interesting phone call/conversation this morning. I was piped into a 3 way/4 way call. One of the people worked with Credit cards globally and is in one of rooms. The topic on this call had her somewhat excited that the US is gearing to do their T-1 clearing on the 28th of this month. That is a fast timeframe for clearing and settlement of bonds or stocks or currency transactions-things of that nature.

MM: Here transaction are about 3 days. If you do a transaction, or but a stock or whatever- it takes 3 days to clear. This is a lot of time. T-1 will effectively be about 6 hours to do transacctions around the world…and that’s for everybody.. Its my understanding that the US is the last one to be at that T-1 mark. We are the largest market.

MM: Canada does not have a holiday like we do (memorial day) ….so they are going on the 27th.

MM: I believe Iraq is ready to go with the rest of the world. Along with other countries like the Vietnamse dong.

MM:  I think this is a big thing.

MM: Iraq and the US have been in bed together –so to speak with DFI accounts that were changed to the Iraq 2 accounts for all the oil money that was in the DFI funds.

MM: We know that the executive order 13303 was just resigned by the President of the US. This gives them protections from debtors ect…I believe this will help with Americans and their investments and large companies like Honeywell ect…who want to know they will not have problems with their assets. I believe when Sudani visited the US he was assured that this would be signed. And it is good for another year.

MM: Yesterday Jamal Cougar said they could get the Iraq budget schedules done in less than 10 days. That runs just a little bit past the T-1 on the 28th and 29th. We will just have to see what happens.

MM: I believe their parliament legislative process recess starts on the 9th of June. The importance of this particular budget schedule is for projects and contracts to be paid.

MM: The expectation is they will not be able to afford these at a rate of 1310. Or they would already have done it.

MM: Talking about electronic trading and how everyone is going to be on the same page with cross border payment –it lets me think we are going to see something potentially on or before or very close to this time frame because of interconnectivity and being able to move money on a level platform or playing field. This is pretty big.

MZ: A number of people are asking what is T-1 clearing?

MM . It’s a transaction date . T=Transaction …and normally it takes 3 days which is a long time. In this modern world they will be able to do this transaction in 6 hours in one day…..instead of 3 days. And this will be a global situation. Starting on May 28th for the US and May 27th for Canada. Again the US is supposedly the last country.

MM: To me it’s no coincidence that Iraq has done all their different advancements  and that Sudani is going to launch his development road projects on May 30th. so Sudani was telling the world he was going to do something in the month of April – and he did it.

MM he said in the past that the dinar was going to be stronger than the dollar. And , we are expecting that.

MZ: and yesterday Sudani said they were starting the second phase of their economic reforms.

MM: And at the bottom of an article yesterday he said they were about to strengthen the dinar.

MZ: To strengthen the dinar is to add more purchasing power and be stronger than the dollar. For it to be stronger than the dollar it has to be worth more than a dollar.

MM: yes.

MZ: People want to know if they can drag this out until next year?

MM: We don’t know the timing. But, I don’t think we are even close to go that long. There is way too much going on in the world and this is not only about Iraq. Remember all boats rise with the tide.

MZ: Things are finally getting tangible enough that I can be excited.

MM: This is an amazing event that we are watching unfold.

Member: Thank you so much MM and Mark

Be sure to listen to the full replay for all of MilitiaMan’s information and opinions.

MZ: This one is important. “Increased capacity in Iraq’s refineries “ They are coming up to speed to produce all of their domestic petroleum needs. $25-$30 millions of dollars worth of gas per day . This is gas for pumps and cars. They are ready to be an exporter of gas. This is new for Iraq and key for their economy.

MZ:” Zimbabwe applies for ISO code for ZIG currency” To be international. I think this is a big one.

Member: Okay all, Let’s Be Of The Highest Vibrations! The Universe is listening and will give you more of what you say! If you say you’re tired, you get more tired. The Universe Always Says Yes!!!

8 Things to Know About T+1 Settlement

May 16, 2024 Nathan Peterson

As of May 28, 2024, settlement cycles on stock trades and other securities go from two days to one. Will that affect your portfolio? Here are eight things to know.

For many investors, making a trade feels like an instant process. But there are actually two important dates involved in any trade that investors should know and understand—and one of them is about to make an important change. 

The transaction date is the day you successfully execute a trade. The settlement date is when that trade becomes official. It's the date when payment is due for purchases, when securities sold must be delivered, and the security's transfer agent has verified the new shareholder and removed the former one. 

On May 28, 2024, settlement cycles on any U.S. securities trade will change from two business days to one. For most investors, this event may have little or no impact. But for some, the time it takes to settle a trade can significantly influence portfolio and trading decisions (more below). 

Known officially as T+1 (trading day plus one business day), this transition will put trade settlement for stocks, bonds, and related assets on the same one-day timetable. Two-day securities settlement—currently known as T+2—has been the standard since 2017 when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) amended its rules to shorten settlement from three days. 

How will T+1 affect you and your investments? Here are a few key things to know:

What's driving shorter settlement cycles? Faster technology and investor preference, mainly. 

What does T+1 mean for most investors? Generally, very little because many brokerage firms today including Schwab—require cash or adequate margin prior to entering any securities orders in a client's account for efficient settlement. And unlike decades ago, investors typically hold their securities in their accounts electronically, so relatively few people have to rush paper certificates to their brokerage offices by the settlement deadline. However, it's worth noting that for some investors, faster securities settlement could influence future trading, portfolio, and tax strategies (see below).

Which securities will be affected by T+1? According to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), stocks, bonds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), certain mutual funds, municipal securities, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), and master-limited partnerships (MLPs) traded on U.S. exchanges will move from T+2 to T+1 as of May 28. 

What about government bonds? Government bonds settlement is already set at T+1.

How will T+1 settlement actually work? For example, let's say you execute a securities trade on Monday. After May 28, 2024, that transaction must be settled on the next business day, which would be Tuesday if the markets are open. If you were to successfully trade on a Friday, your settlement date would be the following Monday—as long as it isn't market holiday. Note: Mexico and Canada are also moving to T+1 settlement on May 27—U.S. markets reopen on May 28 that week because of the Memorial Day holiday. 

How could T+1 influence certain investment decisions? Some investors will want to make sure they own shares by specific dates to participate in proxy votes or annual meetings. In these cases, shorter settlement cycles can help the investor.

Could T+1 affect margin interest? In certain cases. For example, margin account investors who place a trade but need to sell money market funds (MMFs) to cover their purchase need to make sure those MMF proceeds are available before or on the same day as settlement to avoid a margin interest charge. That means for margin account trades in bonds, equities, or other securities, MMFs will need to be sold by 4 p.m. ET.

Are there potential tax issues? Because of T+1, you'll have half the time to correct any cost basis decisions you made in a trade. Once settlement is complete, your cost basis—your total initial investment, any commissions or fees paid, and decisions on how you'll collect dividends and distributions—is set for tax purposes. After T+1 goes into effect, any cost basis adjustments will have to be made within one business day of the trade, not two. 

Bottom line

On May 28, 2024, T+1 arrives for U.S. investors, trimming the settlement cycles for securities trades from two days to one. For some investors, one-day settlement cycles may mean greater convenience. For others, T+1 may require closer attention to how shorter settlement times could affect one's investment, trading, or tax decisions. To learn more about how this transition could affect your individual situation, consider reaching out to a qualified advisor.

Militia Man  There's a lot of money going to to be made in Iraq and it's all starting to come together.   When the World Bank is sitting at the table and they're working to finance projects, take a look at it.  It doesn't smell of, 'oh,  this is never going to happen, blah, blah, blah, we heard this two years ago.' No you didn't.  I have to tease because I still get  that on occasion.        
Frank26  Question "What does your gut say the rate will be in the end?"  Remember I said IMO the float would probably be between $3.36 and $4.25 would be a good place to cap it.

Oil Prices Decline Amid Expectations That Interest Rates Will Remain High For A Longer Period

Wednesday 22, May 2024 08:08 | Economical Number of readings: 140  Baghdad / NINA / Oil prices fell for the third session in a row today, Wednesday, amid expectations that the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) will keep interest rates high for a longer period due to continued inflation, which may affect fuel use in the world’s largest oil consumer.

Brent crude futures fell 43 cents, or 0.5%, to $82.45 per barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 50 cents, or 0.6%, to $78.16.

US Central Bank officials said yesterday, Tuesday, that the bank must wait several more months to ensure that inflation actually returns to the target path of 2% before any interest rate cuts.

Oil prices fell yesterday, Tuesday, as investors expected that inflation and continued interest hikes in the United States would lead to a decline in consumer and industrial demand.

Yesterday, Tuesday, Brent crude futures contracts fell by 46 cents, equivalent to 0.55%, to $83.25 per barrel by 07:28 GMT.

US West Texas Intermediate crude fell 55 cents, or 0.69%, to $79.25 a barrel. Both benchmarks fell less than 1% on Monday after US Federal Reserve (central bank) officials said they were waiting for more signs of slowing inflation before considering lowering interest rates./Ends 9
