Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Morning 9-18-24

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE CLO NAMES KEY CONDITION FOR RIPPLE ACQUIRING HIGH POSITION IN US CRYPTO MARKET

Ripple’s chief legal officer Stuart Alderoty has taken part in Financial Markets Quality Conference 2024, where he spoke along with high-ranking representatives of such crypto giants as Robinhood, Grayscale and others. 

Once again Alderoty weighed in on the current lack of clear cryptocurrency regulations in the U.S., referring to this long-lasting situation as a “regulatory cloud.” He made a statement that once this “regulatory cloud” is removed and the U.S. gets “come policy clarity,” Ripple will become “the most trusted source for enterprise support for crypto solutions in the US!”

Ripple beats SEC by scoring two legal wins Over the last year, Ripple has scored important victories in court against the Securities and Exchange Commission spearheaded by Gary Gensler. 

Last year, in the summer, Federal Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP sales on secondary markets did not qualify as security sales. This largely gave the XRP the official status of nonsecurity, and in its later lawsuits against crypto exchanges, the SEC avoided calling XRP that.

This year, the SEC requested that the court make Ripple pay $2 billion in fines and also compensate the regulatory agency for the expenses and efforts invested in the suit.

However, the judge stated that Ripple must only pay $125 million to the SEC, while the blockchain company initially said that $10 million would be a fair amount in this case.

Ripple endorses RLUSD stablecoin in recent post In a recently published X post, the official Ripple account shared its article on stablecoins, underscoring its revolutionary role in the sphere of transnational payments. 

The major convenience of these assets is their peg to fiat currencies, like the U.S. dollar or euro, for those users who are troubled with the high volatility level of cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin.

In 2022, the article says, there was an almost $7 trillion worth of international transfers made with the help of fiat-backed stablecoins, in collaboration with Mastercard and PayPal.

As for Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, launched in early August, it was designed to keep a constant U.S. dollar peg. It is fully backed by a mixture of cash and its equivalents on a 1:1 basis. It is totally compliant with the regulators, according to Ripple.

CIRCLE EXPANDS ACCESS TO USDC IN BRAZIL AND MEXICO

In what should be an important development for the stablecoin, Circle has expanded access to its USDC offering in both Brazil and Mexico. Indeed, the token is using local payment systems to grow the potential user base for the cryptocurrency. This should push increased adoption for the second-largest stablecoin by market cap.

The company announced the availability of USDC through local currency in both countries. Additionally, they have stated the move is a key part of its “mission to harness the power of blockchain networks to eliminate deeply embedded friction from value-exchange.”

Circle USDC Now Available in Both Brazil and Mexico Through Local Currency
The importance of stablecoins cannot be understated. Although different from the overarching crypto sector, these assets are backed by traditional currencies like the US dollar. They provide a host of benefits to different regions as a safer way to gain exposure to both national currencies and crypto.

BRICS SURPASSES G7 IN KEY ECONOMIC AREAS: IMF REPORT

Amid the continued growth of the BRICS alliance, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has recently highlighted that the bloc is leading the G7 group in four distinct and crucial areas. Indeed, they note that the gap between the Western bloc and the Global South collective is lessening.

The BRICS group took a massive step toward growth in 2023. Specifically, the bloc welcomed four additional members in its first expansion effort since 2001. 

The alliance saw the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Egypt, Ethiopia, and Iran join its ranks. That number could get even larger as the 2024 annual summit approaches.

IMF Says BRICS Leads G7 in Four Critical Areas: But What Are They?
The last several years have been vital for the BRICS bloc. It has firmly embraced de-dollarization on a global scale. Moreover, they have pushed those efforts to new heights. Creating a geopolitical reality in which nations seek global reserves outside the US dollar.

Moreover, its GDP growth has been a massive development. Since 2010, the bloc has seen its GPD (PPP) increase, whereas the G7 has seen the figure falter. Data shows that last year the BRICS bloc officially surpassed the collective in 2023, when its GDP (PPP) reached 32%, as opposed to the G7’s 29%.

That isn’t the only area where the two sides have seen increased challenges. According to IM data, BRICS is leading the G7 in four critical areas. That includes the 1.  share of GDP in PPP terms, the share of the 2. world population, 3. global oil production, and their respective 4. contributions to global economic growth.

The BRICS group has seen its share of the world’s population reach 45% following its most recent expansion. Alternatively, the G7 only boasts 30% of that population. This clearly identifies the collective of people for which the Western economic systems do not benefit.

Moreover, oil production is dominated by BRICS. The group has 41% of all production, whereas the G7 only boasts 29%. This is affected by the inclusion of the UAE and the cooperation of Saudi Arabia. Although Riyhad has yet to join the bloc, it recently invested $5 billion to increase its partnership with the collective.

Finally, the BRICS group leads in the contribution to global economic growth. The BRICS contribute 44% to the G7’s 20% another indication of the changing guard. With continued expansion, and growth forecasts for participating countries, this gap should only continue to widen.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Wednesday AM 9-18-24

Al-Nusairi Identifies The Challenges Of Iraqi Private Banks And Opportunities For Banking Reform
 
Expenses  Economy News – Baghdad  Iraqi private banks suffer from many challenges and obstacles to work, and  they also face crises and wide risks due to
 
     economic instability due to the challenges of instability in the financial and monetary system,
     deficiencies in the investment environment, and
     deficits in the balance of payments and the trade balance.
 
Iraq includes eight government banks, and the structure of the Iraqi private banking sector consists of 32 Islamic banks and 28 commercial banks.

Advisor to the Iraqi Association of Iraqi Private Banks, Samir Al-Nusairi, told Al-Iqtisad News,   
“The number of private bank branches is approximately 500 branches inside and outside Iraq, which have expanded and developed technically in accordance with modern electronic banking systems.”

 Al-Nusairi pointed out that  the private banking sector in Iraq faces business challenges in addition to the above, most notably the US sanctions and restrictions imposed on 51% of the total private banking sector in Iraq and preventing 28 of its banks from using the US dollar in banking transactions, which affected their local and international activities and harmed the economy. National.  

He explained that  the most important obstacles facing banks currently are
 
     technical, financial and administrative, especially in the
     procedures, instructions and decisions of digital transformation,
 
which requires providing full support for this transformation process and the use of electronic payment tools in governmental, mixed and private institutions, and setting a time limit for the complete transformation from the use of paper cash to electronic payment..

In Baghdad.
 
Al-Nusairi stressed the need for the Iraqi Council of Ministers to resolve the issue in the region and put an end to double taxation, and for tax collection to be centralized according to the law and for the final audited accounts submitted to the General Authority for Taxes to be approved as a basis for tax accounting.
 
The advisor to the Iraqi Private Banks Association called for “implementing the seven decisions issued on 4/4/2024 in implementation of the directive of Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani regarding supporting our private banks, which confirms the government’s vision in its governmental approach to financial and banking reform, as well as activating and accelerating the implementation of the agreements made in the rounds of negotiations.” between the Central Bank and the US Treasury in Washington and Baghdad to lift US restrictions on the use of the US dollar.”  

He explained,   “The Prime Minister’s decisions in support of private banks laid out the executive procedures for comprehensive reform of the banking sector, which constitutes the basis and true beginning of successful economic reform.
 
These decisions included the following:
 
1- Preventing monopoly in banking services.
 
2- Activating the Central Bank’s financing initiatives.
 
3- Increasing cooperation between private banks and the Central Bank in discussing decision-making related to supporting and developing banking work.
 
4- Determining the contribution of foreign capital to Iraqi banks.
 
5- Participation of government institutions and financial funds with private banks and expansion by opening branches in countries
The other.
 
6- Government and Central Bank support for private banks in foreign institutions and banks.
 
7- Increasing reliance on private banks by the Iraqi state and activating the deposit of government deposits and government bank deposits with private banks.
 
Al-Nusairi stressed that implementing the decisions, which are practical applications to motivate private banks to develop their internal and external banking operations in a way that contributes to economic reform, pointing out
 
“the importance of the Central Bank accelerating procedures to rehabilitate and restructure these banks, as well as the necessity of the international auditing company completing its agreed-upon work in order to raise Limitations and restrictions imposed.  He concluded his speech by saying:

Tues. 17 Sept. 2024 Golden Redemption: The Birth of USN US Note Backed by QFS Gold-Backed Digital Currency …Charlie Ward on Telegram

The collapse of the fiat system has been a long time coming. Historically, fiat money, which lacks intrinsic value, became the global standard in the 20th century. This shift allowed governments and central banks to print money freely, unbound by the tangible value of precious metals. Over time, this led to rampant inflation, economic bubbles, and numerous financial crises. The 2008 financial crisis, fueled by reckless lending practices and inadequate oversight, exposed the vulnerabilities of the fiat system. Governments responded by printing even more money, further eroding the value of currencies and deepening the crisis of confidence.

In the wake of the 2008 crisis, digital currencies like Bitcoin emerged, offering a decentralized alternative free from the grip of central banks and government control. However, these digital currencies were not without their own issues-high volatility, lack of intrinsic value, and associations with i*****l activities limited their ability to truly replace the flawed systems they sought to disrupt.

Enter the USN US Note, a new currency that promises to bridge the gap between the stability of traditional assets and the innovation of digital finance. As the sun rises over the horizon, casting its golden hue across the land, the USN US Note emerges like a phoenix from the ashes of a broken financial system. This currency is more than just a means of exchange; it is a symbol of financial redemption, a return to an era where money was backed by real value-gold. The USN US Note, backed by the Quantum Financial System (QFS) and the undeniable value of gold, stands as a beacon of hope against the backdrop of economic despair and deceit that has plagued us for generations.

For far too long, our financial systems have been mired in manipulation, deceit, and instability. The fiat currency system, with its lack of intrinsic value, has led us down a path of endless debt and economic uncertainty. Central banks, with unchecked power, have manipulated markets, eroded savings, and fostered financial inequality. But now, with the advent of the USN US Note, there is a bold departure from this flawed past.

At the core of the USN US Note’s promise is the Quantum Financial System (QFS), a revolutionary financial network that utilizes quantum computing technology to ensure the highest levels of security, transparency, and efficiency. Unlike traditional financial systems, which are susceptible to hacking, fraud, and manipulation, the QFS is virtually impenetrable. It guarantees that every transaction is secure, transparent, and immutable, restoring trust in our financial systems.

The cornerstone of the USN US Note is its gold backing. Each note is backed by a specific amount of gold, ensuring that it retains intrinsic value. This gold-backed stability provides a safeguard against inflation, making the USN US Note a reliable store of value. It embodies a time-honored principle: money should be grounded in real, tangible assets. By merging the stability of a gold-backed currency with the efficiency and transparency of digital systems, the USN US Note addresses the shortcomings of both fiat and digital currencies.

This new currency represents not just a financial instrument but a revolution in how we perceive and interact with money. The USN US Note, underpinned by the QFS, is set to redefine the future of finance, offering stability, transparency, and true economic redemption. A new era in finance has dawned, bringing with it the promise of a stable and prosperous future.

Tishwash:  Is the decline in oil prices related to the rise in exchange rates? An "important" clarification from Al-Alaq

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, announced today, Wednesday, that all transfers are subject to auditing processes, while he indicated that the decline in oil prices has nothing to do with the rise in the exchange rate.

Al-Alaq told the official agency, which was followed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the Central Bank provides the dollar at the official price to all commercial and personal channels, travelers, and all types of operations that represent legitimate activities, operations, and requests." 

He pointed out that "any price outside the country is a price that only indicates the existence of abnormal operations that attempt to deviate from the official and legal system and the correct fundamental channels," stressing the need to "focus on the amount of sales carried out by the Central Bank at the official price and those seeking the dollar, whether they are traders, importers, individuals or travelers."

He pointed out that "methods have been put in place for each channel to secure the provision of dollars on the one hand, and a very large degree of oversight to verify the integrity of the pre-operations before they are implemented," noting that "this is a major shift in foreign transfer operations, as they were previously audited at a later stage, and today all transfer operations are not carried out or implemented except after they are subject to the auditing process."

He explained that "the decline in the price of oil has nothing to do with the rise in the exchange rate because Iraq has foreign currency reserves that enable it to defend the exchange rate  link

The statement continued, "The committee discussed a number of proposals that would maximize financial revenues, including the legislation of special laws on taxation, in addition to forming a committee to conform to standards, which would review the estimation of planned revenues for state institutions."

The statement continued, "The committee discussed a proposal to establish a (sovereign fund) similar to rentier countries, in order to confront fluctuations in global oil prices or any financial crisis, provided that the fund is financed from the budget surplus achieved in circumstances of economic and financial prosperity."

The statement concluded, "The meeting also discussed the laws referred to the Finance Committee as a supporting committee, where Al-Atwani stressed that the committee will have an opinion and a fundamental role in legislating these laws, especially those related to economic reform and others link

Member: (From Dinar Guru)  Mnt Goat  Article:  "AFTER THE DECLINE IN OIL, A GOVERNMENT ADVISOR: WE HAVE THE CAPABILITIES TO CONFRONT THE PROBLEMS OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY"  I consider this one of those WOW! articles.  Quote: “the highest reserves in the country’s monetary and financial history” also “the growth indicators in the non-oil GDP have touched 6%”  WOW!

MZ: We have a good article on that one. The link is posted in the daily links.

MZ: “Parliamentary Finance: There is no financial hardship and the salaries of employees are the lowest percentage in the budget” They are telling us that even if oil falls to $60 a barrel –they could still cover everything….but, they are working hard to increase non-oil revenues so they can weather any storm.

MZ: If they are covering all the government salaries….they must know exactly what the rate is going to be …..This article could be giving us hints.

MZ: From the bond side to the private exchange side it’s all over the place. They say “It’s today…..It’s 2 weeks……It’s tomorrow.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

RIPPLE NEWS: XRP LEGAL FIGHT CONTINUES AS LAWYER TARGETS SEC FOR $15B LOSSES

▪️Pro-XRP attorney and Senate candidate John Deaton accused the SEC of causing over $15 billion in financial losses to small investors.

▪️He has been vocal about the negative impact of the SEC’s regulatory approach on retail investors and plans to challenge its practices while campaigning against Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.

John Deaton, a popular attorney known for his pro-XRP stance, has raised serious allegations against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). He blamed its crypto regulatory approach and its actions caused substantial financial losses among small investors. Senate candidate Deaton also claims that the SEC’s enforcement actions have caused damages exceeding $15 billion to retail investors.

These allegations come at a time when the SEC has reportedly given up on the appeal while concluding it with a new crypto classification, reported CNF.

XRP Lawyer John Deaton Criticizes The SEC
In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), he accused the regulatory body of “misconduct.” “The SEC’s misconduct and gross overreach caused small investors over $15 billion,” Deaton stated. He added, “On behalf of those 75,000 small investors I represented, we do not accept the SEC’s apology.”

The pro-XRP lawyer has been vocal about the detrimental effects of the SEC’s regulatory practices, particularly on smaller retail investors.

He has consistently criticized the commission’s abuse of power against crypto. Hence, the XRP lawyer plans to fight the SEC head-on. Moreover, his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts highlights his concerns about the agency’s lack of accountability.

Thus, he plans to challenge the anti-crypto Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren, accusing her of being unwilling to scrutinize the SEC’s actions. Deaton also referenced a Writ of Mandamus he filed in early 2021.

He accused the SEC of violating decades of legal precedent by declaring tokens themselves as securities in the 2021 filing. The pro-XRP attorney also maintained that this move went beyond the agency’s authority and created unnecessary confusion.

The lawyer also highlighted his frustration over the SEC’s failure to provide clear regulation. “All I asked was for the SEC to honor the law and make clear that the token itself (XRP) was NOT the security,” Deaton said. In addition, he went on to accuse the agency’s lawyers of targeting him personally during the legal proceedings.

Other Related Developments
In a related development, Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, shared a court filing suggesting a shift in the SEC’s stance on cryptocurrencies. According to the proposed amendment in the Binance lawsuit, the SEC admitted it no longer considers tokens to be securities, reported CNF.

This marks a major change from its previous position, particularly in relation to XRP, which had been classified as a security in 2020. “The SEC regrets any confusion it may have invited,” the agency stated in the filing.

However, the SEC’s regulatory actions continue with a recent settlement with the trading platform eToro, per the CNF report. The platform agreed to cease trading most cryptocurrencies in the U.S. and pay a $1.5 million fine. However, this move attracted significant backlash as the agency apologized for considering tokens as securities within 24 hours of the amended Binance lawsuit complaint.

Meanwhile, data from Social Capital Markets indicates the total monetary penalties imposed on cryptocurrency firms this year have reached $4.7 billion. It marks a humungous 3,000% rise from the previous year. This included one of its largest enforcement actions wherein the SEC settled a case with Terraform Labs for $4.47 billion.

GOLD News:

Zimbabwe aims to maximize gold revenue amid global demand surge

MINES ministry has launched the 2024 Second Gold Mobilisation exercise, aimed at ensuring compliance and maximizing revenue from the gold mining sector.

Reports indicate that gold output is projected at 39 tons in 2024 up from around 33 tons in 2023, largely on the back of ongoing expansion projects and favorable prices.

Gold revenues are expected to surpass US$3 billion in 2024.

Average capacity utilization for the gold sector is expected to reach 95% in 2024 up from 84% in 2023.

The second gold exercise will be conducted in all eight provinces, targeting both large-scale and small-scale miners in order to maximize gold revenue amid global demand surge.

Speaking at the send-off workshop in Harare, Mines minister Winston Chitando said, “It is imperative to note that gold has long been a source of wealth and prosperity for Zimbabwe, and it holds immense potential to fuel our economic growth, create jobs, and improve the lives Zimbabweans.

“The global demand for gold is on the increase as the world is turning to gold as a safe haven.”

He highlighted the global demand for gold, which has driven prices up from $1,900 in September 2023 to $2,500 currently.

“The key to realizing our 2024 gold deliverance target of 35 tonnes is plugging leakages to side markets,” he told the media.

The minister noted that illegal gold extraction and trade undermine Zimbabwe’s efforts to reap benefits from its gold resources.

To address this, he expressed the importance of ensuring that all mined gold is traded through legitimate channels.

He reiterated that Zimbabwe’s currency is anchored on gold, making it crucial that all gold trades occur through Fidelity Gold, the country’s sole authorized exporter.

“The gold neutralization exercise has yielded positive results, demonstrating its effectiveness. Given its significant contribution, the gold sector remains vital to Zimbabwe’s national economic development.

“Gold deliverance through Fidelity Gold Refinery stood at 30.1 tonnes in 2023, with 20.7 tonnes delivered from January to August 2024.

“To the teams, colleagues who are being deployed today, this intervention is of paramount importance, and I wish you all the success,” he said.

The gold mobilization exercise aims to increase revenue, create jobs, and combat illegal gold trading.

Atlanta Woman Loses $120K To Fake Financial Adviser

Atlanta Woman Loses $120K To Fake Financial Adviser

Danielle Antosz  Tue, September 17, 2024   Moneywise

Here Are The Warning Signs Of Investment Fraud

An Atlanta woman, who chose to protect her identity with the pseudonym Yvonne, was defrauded of her life savings by a fake financial adviser.

Prior to the scam, she said she'd prided herself on her "common sense" and research skills. "My family would be the first to tell people, she’s the ‘go-to,’” she told WSB-TV Atlanta. But now, she’s out more than $120,000.

In an effort to invest for her family’s future, Yvonne decided to contact a finance professional she’d spotted on YouTube. The person appeared to receive glowing reviews on social media.

Before sending any money, Yvonne looked the person up on BrokerCheck, an online tool from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) that shows investors the employment history, certifications, and any violations for brokers and financial advisers.

It appeared that the person was registered, licensed, and allegedly worked for a company Yvonne recognized — Fidelity.

“I thought I had done my research,” she told the news outlet. "[This money] was a lifetime of work to me. My future."

After calling FINRA to double-check if the investor was legitimate, Yvonne sent the finance professional $5,000 via Automated Clearing House (ACH).

Over the next few weeks, she received messages from the supposed adviser showing her that her crypto investment was growing. But when Yvonne went to cash out, everything went south.

A Case Of Stolen Identity

When Yvonne was ready to withdraw her money after seeing significant growth, the scammer insisted she pay taxes on her investment gains or risk legal action.

They then directed her to create an account on Crypto.com to submit the payment, to which Yvonne complied.

This was followed up with another message asking for additional funds for taxes, then another message insisting Yvonne pay thousands of dollars for an international business permit certificate, all in crypto.

By that point, Yvonne had sent multiple payments totaling more than $120,000 — her entire life savings. Then, the scammer disappeared.

Later, Yvonne learned that the Fidelity financial adviser was legitimate — but someone had stolen their identity and was using it to defraud unsuspecting clients.

Reikifreind:  Hi Frank, thank you and your team for the many years of education and entertainment

I just called Walmart in Alberta Canada based on a rumor of USD no longer being accepted by September 23rd. I can confirm this is true.   

Walmart Canada will no longer accept USD as of September 23, 2024.    The reason she gave was it was an order from the head office. 

I asked if it was a currency change or security features, but she didn't know the reason. So this is in fact true. 

Clare: "Our Country's Dream"... Al-Sudani Sends an "Important" Message to Gulf States Regarding the Path to Development

9/17/2024 Baghdad

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani stressed that the drop in oil prices to less than $72 confirms the need to diversify the Iraqi economy, while he addressed a message to the Gulf countries regarding the path to development.

Al-Sudani said during a televised interview followed by "Al-Eqtisad News", "The federal administration's budget allows it to pay $8 for every barrel of oil produced, while contracts signed with the Kurdistan Regional Government give companies $26. This stagnation has affected production from the region and led to a delay in the resumption of the pipeline."

Baghdad has been unable to agree on how much to pay international oil companies operating in the north of the country for their production.

"We have to look at how we balance these issues. Do we look at the budget to see what we can do or do we try to look at prices?" he added.

“Closing the pipeline, which can carry nearly half a million barrels per day of oil from Kurdistan to the Turkish coast, would cost billions of dollars in lost revenue. However, restarting it would pose a dilemma for Iraq, which has failed to comply with OPEC+ production limits amid dire financial needs but has repeatedly said it will compensate for overproduction,” he said.

Al-Sudani said, "We are committed to abiding by OPEC decisions and maintaining the oil price in a way that achieves a balance between the interests of users and producers."

Pipeline problems

Turkey halted the pipeline in March last year after an arbitration court ordered it to pay Iraq $1.5 billion in compensation for transporting oil through it without Baghdad’s consent. Ankara, which claimed the pipeline was shut for repairs after two massive earthquakes in February, said in October it was ready for operations and that it was up to Iraq to resume flows.

But financial and legal issues have emerged, such as compensating companies for costs. International companies have said they also want to settle their overdue receivables — including $1 billion for oil produced between September 2022 and March 2023.

With exports halted, companies have begun producing some crude and selling it domestically. Iraqi officials have previously said this production has caused problems with compliance with quotas set by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Iraq’s production cap is set at 4 million barrels a day, but it produced 4.32 million barrels a day last month, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The country, along with some other OPEC+ members, will gradually lift those limits starting in December.

Al-Sudani is keen to “increase production in the long term after years of war and internal conflict that have affected Iraq’s oil industry. In August, BP signed a preliminary agreement to help boost production from the Kirkuk region. Iraq is also rehabilitating and modernizing damaged refineries to help reduce fuel imports.”

The Prime Minister continued, "Because of the wars and the blockade over the past four decades, Iraq has been late in exploiting the wealth we have of gas and oil properly. Now we are looking at how to exploit the new wealth we have and how to use it effectively."

Diversify the economy

But he said, "The drop in oil prices in London to around $72 a barrel - near their lowest levels since 2021 - underscores the need to diversify the economy."

Iraq is OPEC's largest oil producer after Saudi Arabia and derives the bulk of its revenues from exporting the commodity, and needs much higher prices to balance its budget.

The IMF has long said the country needs to develop its private sector, and that economic progress is being hampered by a huge public sector wage bill, with successive governments not doing enough to curb high wage increases.

Al-Sudani pointed out that "his administration is looking to invest about 40% of Iraq's oil revenues to boost the non-oil sector," adding that "the planned trade corridor extending from Basra Governorate in southern Iraq to Turkey and then to Europe was a 'dream' for his country, and he is looking to the Gulf states to help finance the project, which is supposed to cost $17 billion."  LINK

Morgan Stanley has issued a serious warning that is causing significant ripples in the markets. The bank has urged investors to prepare themselves for a period of extreme uncertainty.

Morgan Stanley's warning is based on the upcoming buyback blackout period, which has already resulted in a 93% decrease in buyback activity, and the low positioning of machines that have left traders and algorithms confused and unsure about the direction to take.

These signs clearly indicate that the financial markets are on the verge of a significant shift. Morgan Stanley Has Just Sounded The Alarm.

RUSSIA SET TO TRIAL CRYPTO FOR TRADING GOODS WITH MILITARY APPLICATIONS: REPORT

The Russian government has formed a focus group to trial crypto payments for foreign trade, focusing on importers of goods with potential military applications.

Russia has established a focus group under an experimental legal regime to explore the use of crypto for foreign trade payments, Russia’s Vedomosti newspaper reported on Sept. 17. The initiative reportedly aims to address challenges faced by importers dealing with dual-use goods, which have both civilian and military applications, and are subject to strict international payment restrictions.

The move follows China’s announcement in early August that it will ban the export of all unregulated civilian drones, which have become increasingly used in military warfare in recent years, starting Sept. 1.

According to the report, the focus group includes members from the Russian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Association of Developers and Producers of Electronics, alongside several banks, though the report did not specify whether the group included Russian banks only or involved foreign financial lenders as well.

The initiative is designed to assist importers struggling with transactions to banks in China and other countries due to the sensitive nature of their goods. This move follows recent reports that Russia’s two largest unsanctioned metal producers have begun using Tether’s stablecoin for cross-border transactions with Chinese clients and suppliers, in response to U.S. Treasury Department warnings about secondary sanctions.

Now, people familiar with the matter reportedly say that participants in the focus group were selected based on their business turnover, with larger companies prioritized. The Russian government plans to expand the initiative in the future, though the timing for a broader rollout remains unclear.

In early July, Alexei Guznov, deputy governor of Russia’s central bank, indicated in a media interview that the Bank of Russia is exploring the legalization of stablecoins for cross-border transactions.

Guznov noted that the initiative could potentially transition from a temporary experiment to a permanent regulatory framework, although specifics regarding the timeline for approval were not disclosed.

BRICS MAKES MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT ON NEW PAYMENT SYSTEM

BRICS is working towards the creation of a new payment system without the integration of the US dollar in its mechanism, confirmed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The minister added that the new payment system will not only be used to settle cross-border transactions, it will act as a complete financial set-up.

The development, when launched, could attract emerging economies towards it making a shift away from the US dollar. The new BRICS payment system could lead to a paradigm shift in the global financial sector.

New BRICS Payment System To Include Trading, Investing & Settlements

The Russian minister revealed that the new BRICS payment system will be equipped with trading, investing, and along with trade settlements. He explained that the mechanism will allow countries to partake in financial operations without being dependent on the US dollar. The move will make the alliance’s quest of de-dollarizing their economies much stronger.

Lavrov also hit out at the US and Europe for pressing sanctions on countries they don’t like. He stressed that the sanctions are what led to BRICS decision on launching a new payment system. Even US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen acknowledged that the White House sanctioning developing nations led to de-dollarization.

“Many are attracted by the fact that payment systems are being developed within BRICS. Which allows trading, investing, carrying out other economic operations without being dependent on those that decided to weaponize the dollar and the euro,” the foreign minister said.

The minister added that developing nations will flock to the BRICS payment system in fear of US sanctions. “Everyone understands that anyone may face US or other Western sanctions,” he said during a meeting with Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty.

DE-DOLLARIZATION: HOW THE US IS HELPING CHINESE YUAN TO SUCCEED

De-dollarization is the most buzzing word in the global financial sectors across Asia, Africa, and South America. Emerging economies are focusing on lifting their local currencies on the global stage by ending reliance on the US dollar. The US sanctions are what pushed the de-dollarization agenda ahead and China made use of the opportunity to include the Chinese yuan for trade settlements.

The development puts the USD in the spotlight as developing countries no longer want to give importance to the currency. Amid the US and Western sanctions on emerging economies, the Chinese yuan is becoming the most used currency in their countries. From Russia to Pakistan and the UAE, the Chinese yuan is being widely accepted as the de-dollarization initiatives advance rapidly.

The Chinese Yuan Benefits From De-Dollarization

The US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen confirmed that the US sanctions opened the floodgates of de-dollarization across the world. The move made China fill in the void and the Xi Jinping administration convinced developing countries to use the Chinese yuan. The de-dollarization initiative is partially a success as the Chinese yuan is the most used currency in Russia.

“Trading in Chinese yuan is convenient for both Russia and China,” said Maia Nikoladze, Associate Director at the Atlantic Council. “Russia does not have too many other currency alternatives.

While China benefits from exerting more economic influence over Moscow, and also makes progress towards internationalizing the yuan,” said the analyst. The move indicates that the US opened the gates of de-dollarization by itself through sanctions.

Even Brazil, Argentina, South Africa, and Saudi Arabia are looking to follow Russia on the de-dollarization path. These countries are accepting the Chinese yuan as payment for cross-border transactions, which was not the case a few years ago. De-dollarization is a serious risk to the US economy while the Chinese yuan is looking to dominate the financial world.
