DID YOU KNOW? Moral Compass
The rumor mill has been ablaze, starting around the end of August, beginning of September. Multiple Intel providers from multiple Intel networks have pretty much been saying the same thing. Funds for the GCR have been released.
Now what “released” means is still a question.
All that is apparent is no one has seen any spendable money. For the sake of definition can we all agree that, “released”, to the masses, means spendable money.
The problem is, and has always been, these Intel providers who propagate these rumors without any validations or proof in what they say. Often expanding conversation in great detail to encourage belief in what they say . Few of these sources are sincere .
The language used is not clear and precise, always leaving something to question. The greatest enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, they turn instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms to convince their followers of their sincerity. These types begin to believe their own facade, blinding themselves to the harm they inflict.
I for one would appreciate the integrity of telling the truth. True integrity requires oneself to be accountable for what you say.
Don’t tell readers the funds are released knowing full well the perception of the reader is the funds are available to spend. This is creating a facade and a ignorance to the reader. Stand up to ignorance, because if you don’t, the ignorance will run free to spread like a d*****e.
The one narrative I do believe in is that this event (GCR) is not intended to make individuals wealthy. When you are paid and the funds are placed in your account ( a trust account, personal account or whatever type of account you have set up) you will receive 1% of the funds at first. What you do or how you spend the 1% will dictate if you receive any more.
The funds are meant for humanitarian projects. The whole event is meant for humanity not individual gain. There will be some discretionary funds paid to the currency or bond holder but the bulk of the fortune is meant for helping the world. The idea is that the more people who have the funds will be able to do more of the good work as opposed to institutions that historically haven’t been able to get it done.
In the meantime there should be some moral rules for those populating information to the masses. We should all be in favor of moral rules that prevent others from doing things that harm our own interest..
You only get wet walking in the rain if you don’t have an umbrella. Listen to those who are sincere, have integrity and a moral compass. They’re your umbrella!

Militia Man Article: "Bold step changes the liquidity map in Iraq" Quote: "The Central Bank of Iraq decided to reduce the internet rate and activate securities...Analysts expect an increase in reliance on the Iraqi dinar as a base currency...It's expected the activation of a new dinar instrument will contribute to enhancing local liquidity..." A base currency is going to make you guys really excited. What is a base currency? Base currency is the first currency in a pair of currencies being traded in the Forex Exchange Market. The second currency is called the quote or counter currency ...They're talking about it's not the US dollar that the base currency. It's going to be the Iraqi dinar...I'm really pumped and excited...! If that doesn't tell you these guys are gearing to go international I don't know what does... Powerful information!

IOTA NEARS MAINNET SMART CONTRACTS RELEASE, PAVING PATH FOR POTENTIAL ATH IN 2024
▪️IOTA is set to launch smart contracts on its Layer 1 network this year, with the transition from testnet to the mainnet expected to be swift.
▪️This would enable the L1 network to anchor decentralized applications and support tokenization, which founder Dominik Schiener says is the network’s key target market.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
IOTA NEARS MAINNET SMART CONTRACTS RELEASE, PAVING PATH FOR POTENTIAL ATH IN 2024
▪️IOTA is set to launch smart contracts on its Layer 1 network this year, with the transition from testnet to the mainnet expected to be swift.
▪️This would enable the L1 network to anchor decentralized applications and support tokenization, which founder Dominik Schiener says is the network’s key target market.
IOTA has been working towards being an all-encompassing network that can anchor decentralized applications, NFTs, tokenization, decentralized exchanges, and every other blockchain application. While most of these developments have been on the Shimmer staging network, the IOTA Layer 1 could catch up before the end of the year, starting with the debut of smart contracts.
According to discussions from the IOTA’s developers forum, the smart contracts could launch later this year. As noted by one community member on X, they would initially launch in a testnet environment but quickly transition to the main network.
Known as IOTA Academy, he noted:
If this is true and major RWA (real-worl assets) liquidity starts flowing in, we might easily approach IOTA‘s ATH next year.
According to the quoted forum conversation, IOTA developers have been working in private repos on big tech upgrades, but they are bound by non-disclosure agreements against speaking out about these developments.
It also claims that the smart contracts upgrade might include the introduction of MoveVM, a virtual machine designed to run smart contracts written in the Move programming language.
MoveVM enhances flexibility and security while also promoting speed through parallel transaction processing; it has been credited with allowing Web3 apps on networks like Aptos to process up to 150,000 transactions per second.
Earlier this year, IOTA announced the integration of Supra Oracles for IOTA EVM to enhance the data accuracy of its smart contracts.
IOTA Prepares for a Revolution
This year, IOTA has made significant advancements. While every development has been important to the growth of the ecosystem, none has been as significant as the launch of IOTA 2.0. It launched in May this year on a testnet and signals the network’s most radical development in years.
The testnet allows the entire ecosystem of developers, users, and the Foundation to experiment with the new decentralized framework. It comes with features such as feeless transactions and permissionless voting.
IOTA has already been recognized as the best infrastructure for the Internet of Things ecosystem, with Tangle being singled out as the best implementation of decentralized ledger technology for the rapidly growing sector by a recent study.
As we reported recently, a separate study showed that smart contracts on IOTA 2.0 can enhance and secure software-defined networking (SDN), which makes networks more flexible by separating the components of a data network.
IOTA trades at $0.1097 at press time, dipping 2% in the past day despite a 24% rise in the trading volume and a broader uptick in the overall market cap.

XRP LAWSUIT: LEGAL EXPERT SAYS THE SEC IS ‘NOT DELAYING’ THE RIPPLE APPEAL TO 2025
Ripple’s legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues, with the SEC requesting yet another extension for its main brief submission, now pushing the deadline to January 2025. According to legal analyst Fred Rispoli, this request hints at more than just logistical issues; it shows that the SEC is struggling with its resources in handling cryptocurrency cases, adding to an already packed agenda.
During his appearance on the “Good Morning Crypto Show,” Rispoli said that Ripple’s appeal will focus exclusively on written submissions, characterizing the situation as a “battle of briefs” rather than live courtroom confrontations. Oral arguments are expected to take place in late 2025, providing both parties an opportunity to strengthen their positions.
However, former SEC attorney Marc Fagel countered Rispoli’s assessment, asserting that the SEC merely selected a date to file its briefs within the established timeline and that there are no delays occurring.
Taking to his X handle, Rispoli wrote,
“False. The SEC simply picked a day to file their briefs within the allocated time period. Nothing is being delayed.”
Gary Gensler, New Laws and More
On the show, Fred also discussed how a new law could affect Ripple. If a law were passed stating it would start on January 1, 2026, it might make the current legal arguments irrelevant, as long as it clearly includes Ripple. If the law is unclear about Ripple’s status, the appellate court might send the case back to the trial court for more clarification.
Fred said that new SEC leadership could greatly impact Ripple’s lawsuit. Regarding Gary Gensler, the current SEC chairman, Fred predicted there’s a “0% chance” he’ll still be in that role by 2026.

Property Theft Is A Genuine Risk

What Happens If Someone Sells Your Property In America Without Your Knowledge? It’s a lot more complicated than you might think
If you own a home or property, you need to know how this scam works and what you can do to protect your real estate from dishonest actors.
Property Theft Is A Genuine Risk
Home or land theft can technically happen with any property, but it's more common with vacant real estate. Vacation houses, inherited properties, and homes people have moved out of to move into nursing homes are common targets.
Scammers can target these properties in a few ways. Usually, the process starts with finding out who owns a property using online information and creating fake IDS so they can pretend to be the true owner.
Next, they'll either:
Transfer the property to themselves and then sell it and pocket the cash, or get a cash-out refinance mortgage on it, pocket the money, and never make a payment
Find A Buyer And Sell The Property Directly To Them, Often In A Quick Sale.
When this happens, innocent buyers typically pay the scammer, the documents with the forged IDs are submitted to authorities, and the county will officially transfer ownership to the "buyer," who becomes the new legal owner in the eyes of the law. This leaves the rightful owner without the title and deed to the house and forced to go to court to try and get their property back.
Sadly, as the Internet has made it easier to find property owners and forge documents, rates of home theft are on the rise. While the FBI doesn't have a separate category specifically for this offense, the agency's 2023 Internet Crime Report shows there were 9,521 fraud complaints related to real estate totaling over $145.2 million in annual losses.
Also, the New York Post reported recently on the growing number of title fraud claims, including a recent Detroit case involving a scammer who stole more than 30 homes.

Clare: Al-Lami and Al-Alaq stress the need to combine efforts to prevent corruption and recover its proceeds
10/28/2024 Baghdad
The Chairman of the Federal Integrity Commission, Mohammed Ali Al-Lami, stressed the need for concerted efforts by state institutions to prevent and combat corruption, and to strive diligently to recover smuggled corruption proceeds, in addition to focusing on preventive, awareness-raising and educational methods to prevent corruption and spread and consolidate the culture of integrity among society.
Al-Lami, during his reception of the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, at the Authority’s headquarters, noted “the Authority’s determination to continue efforts to combat corruption and pursue its perpetrators, noting that corruption hinders reconstruction, development and investment operations and contributes to the decline in services provided to citizens.”
For his part, the Governor of the Central Bank offered his "congratulations to Mohammed Ali Al-Lami on assuming his duties as Chairman of the Federal Integrity Commission," wishing him "success in carrying out the great national mission of combating corruption and cleansing state institutions of its filth."
The two parties agreed to "intensify levels of cooperation and coordination between the Authority and the Central Bank, especially in the file of money laundering and smuggling, noting the sanctity and inviolability of public money, and the importance of doubling efforts to preserve it, and recovering what was stolen, embezzled and smuggled out of the country."

He pointed out that "the requirements for selling the dollar are a valid Iraqi passport with a valid visa or residency, a civil status ID, a nationality certificate or a unified national card, a residence card, and a valid travel ticket." LINK
Clare: Iraqi-US Negotiating Committee Stresses Transition from Military to Economic Relations

The statement stated that "the meeting discussed the latest developments in bilateral relations between Iraq and the United States of America, in addition to reviewing the achievements approved during the recent meetings between the two parties in mid-April in the capital, Washington. Future working papers were also discussed during the upcoming meetings of the committee, scheduled to be held in February of next year, within the agreed upon axes, which include cooperation in the political and diplomatic fields, security and defense, energy, economy, education, health, and the environment."
The Foreign Minister stressed the importance of strengthening relations with the United States of America by implementing the provisions of the agreement, and moving the relationship to a solid economic partnership.

THURS. 24 OCT. 2024: BOOOOM!!! THE BRICS CURRENCY NOTE: A Game-Changer in the Global Financial Arena! …Carolyn Bessette Kennedy on Telegram
The day has come. The BRICS nations—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—are no longer satisfied with living in the shadow of the U.S. Dollar. They’ve dropped the bombshell that could obliterate the American financial system as we know it—a BRICS Currency Note! Although it’s not in circulation yet, its mere existence sends a clear message: the BRICS countries are flipping the script on the global financial stage.
The BRICS Currency Note—A Revolution in Motion! The world woke up to a shockwave when the BRICS Currency Note was revealed. This bold move could be the beginning of a financial revolution. For decades, the U.S. Dollar has held the world in its grip, dictating the terms of global trade, finance, and politics. But now, with the emergence of a BRICS currency, the tides may be turning for good.
The BRICS note symbolizes a defiant stand against the U.S.-dominated financial system. Vladimir Putin has taken the reins of this movement, signaling that these nations are ready to break free from the suffocating control of the American financial empire.
What Does This Mean for the World? This is more than just currency. It’s a direct challenge to the U.S. dominance. By proposing this currency, the BRICS nations are creating a new financial ecosystem. No longer will they be at the mercy of a single country and its weaponized financial system.
The Rise of the BRICS Currency: A Defiant Response to U.S. Control. For too long, the U.S. Dollar has been used as a financial weapon, enforcing sanctions and manipulating countries that oppose American interests. The BRICS nations have had enough. They’re not just talking about change—they’re making it happen. This currency will weaken America’s ability to control the global economy.
The BRICS Currency Note—whether it’s in your hands now or not—signals that the world is ready to move on. The U.S. financial grip is crumbling, and this is just the beginning of a new era where nations will no longer be dictated to by U.S. interests.
A Move for Financial Independence: This BRICS currency is a symbol of economic sovereignty. The 100 BRICS Note that has emerged is a powerful statement—these nations are no longer bowing to the demands of the U.S.-controlled system. They are taking charge of their economic destiny and shattering the chains that have bound them to the American financial order.
Implications for the Global Financial Order: The End of U.S. Dominance? The introduction of this currency could send shockwaves through the global financial system. It’s not just about economics—it’s about seismic political shifts that could spell the end of U.S. Dollar dominance. The U.S. has used its financial power to project control over the world for decades. But with the BRICS currency in play, that era is over.
A Defiant Response to U.S. Sanctions: Sanctions have been a go-to weapon for the U.S., but the BRICS nations are done playing along. With their own currency in hand, they can circumvent American financial institutions and reclaim their power.
The unveiling of the BRICS Currency Note is more than just an economic maneuver—it’s a direct challenge to the global order. The U.S. stranglehold on the world economy is crumbling as these nations rise up and take control.
Conclusion: The Beginning of the End? The BRICS Currency Note could be the start of the end for the U.S. Dollar’s reign. As this revolution unfolds, we are witnessing a monumental shift in power—one where the U.S. no longer holds the ultimate financial weapon.

Frank26 Sudani cleaned up the swamp. All of a sudden all of the banks that were stealing the Iraqi dinar, American dollar and profiteering illegally...he cleaned it all up. I told you we needed the CBI floor to be so spotless that you could eat off of the floor. The United States Treasury is on the second floor of the new CBI building. It's spotless. All the bank that [were stealing] have been shut down. All the political parties that had power in the media and in the banking structure of Iraq are slowly being whittled away.
Mnt Goat ...the agreements and paperwork are all nearly completed to set the reinstatement in motion. But...we know this is not going to happen until the CBI is ready. The CBI is not ready until they first secure the banks, the stock market, provide security (insurance) and then begin rebuilding the economy...I must mention this too as it is a factor. They will not be ready until the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve gives them the green light.

Al-Hashemi said in a tweet on his account on the X platform, which was followed by “Iraq Observer”, that “the Central Bank of Iraq is following in the footsteps of the Federal Reserve and Western central banks, and reducing interest rates from 7.5% to 5.5% despite its failure to achieve its monetary goals.
He added: “The major central banks around the world have reduced interest rates after inflation rates fell from 10% to below 2%, confirming the success of the high interest rates followed by the major central banks over the past two years in curbing inflation.” He continued:
“As for (in Iraq), the previous interest rates of 7.5% did not succeed in (withdrawing the hoarded cash liquidity) outside the banking system, which exceeds 80% of the mass of the dinar exported, and
it also did not help in reducing (high inflation) which the citizen feels with The continued high prices of goods (which the Ministry of Planning is trying to cover up by issuing illogical data indicating low inflation rates).” Al-Hashemi pointed out that
“despite the failure to achieve the required goals of high interest, and the absence of an urgent and necessary economic need to reduce interest, and the absence of fears that the Iraqi economy will fall into recession, and
there is no need to encourage (already high) spending, the Iraqi Central Bank decided suddenly and without Obvious reasons for lowering interest rates.” He stated that
“such incomprehensible decisions remind and confirm that there is clear randomness in the decision-making process of the Central Bank’s management, as
its decisions depend in many of them on the method of trial and error, reactions, or imitation and imitation of the decisions of others without study, and this is a clear and diagnosed weakness.” In the way this institution works.” He continued by saying: “The decision to reduce interest rates taken by the Iraqi Central Bank is just a (formal measure) for no reason.
It came to create an (illusory impression) among the public of the success of the Central Bank’s measures, just as the measures of the Federal Reserve and the Bank of England succeeded in reducing inflation, and this is far from the truth".

The Era Of Mafias Prosperity In Iraq"... People's Crises Strengthen The Positions Of Currency Smuggling Gangs - Urgent
Politics | Yesterday, 16:32 |Baghdad today – Baghdad Today, Sunday (October 27, 2024), economic affairs specialist Nasser Al-Kanani confirmed the existence of mafias that exploit the crises in Iraq and the region in order to increase currency smuggling operations.
Al-Kanani told “Baghdad Today” that “as soon as the war in Lebanon and Gaza escalated and security tensions throughout the region, specialized mafias emerged working to exploit such security conditions in order to increase the process of smuggling currency from Iraq, and
there are different methods for this smuggling, some of which are carried out.” Through foreign imports, which take place outside the platform.”
He added, “Iraq is working to strengthen its national currency, but there are those who are working to weaken this currency by making the dollar very high against the national currency, and
some are working to limit large commercial transactions exclusively to the dollar, and sell real estate, cars, etc., and this also weakens the national currency.” Despite all the campaigns to prevent internal transactions in dollars.”
The specialist in economic affairs continued, "Iraq cannot take advantage of conflicts and wars to strengthen its national currency, especially as it works hard, internally and externally, to stay away from those wars.
Iraq is aware of the great economic danger if it enters the circle of conflict and wars.".
The war on Gaza and its repercussions, which included multiple regions of the Middle East, dealt a blow to the global economy, especially the economy of Israel, where government spending exceeded $140 billion, and it also lost nearly $15 billion from the attack on Lebanon, according to economic experts.
Speaking about the repercussions of the ongoing conflict in the region on Iraq, Fares Al-Jawari, a researcher and specialist in aviation affairs, reveals that there are significant material losses in Iraq as a result of the recent Israeli bombing of Iran.
Al-Jawari told “Baghdad Today” yesterday, Saturday, that
“there are losses and material damage to the Iraqi air transport sector in particular and the airport sector as a result of the recent Israeli aggression against Iran, and
this impact is clear and tangible during the recent period, but the recent aggression is the most dangerous because it was the cause of a complete cessation of aviation.” "The Iraqi." He stated,
"The cessation means the interruption of the financial revenues that come to the Iraqi government through the passage of aircraft over Iraqi airspace, and this is worth ($450) per aircraft.
According to the latest report of the Iraqi Airports Company, approximately (600) aircraft pass over Iraq monthly, and this means Iraq." He loses 270 thousand dollars in one day.”
He added, "There are other material losses as a result of the planes not arriving at the airports, and their failure to arrive there means providing ground services to them, and this provision is in exchange for a sum of money, and this matter is estimated at around ($2000), and
this means that there are major economic damages and losses as a result of the aggression." "Israel's influence on Iran and the general security situation in the region."
The specialist in aviation affairs confirmed that “Iraqi aircraft are the ones that are directly affected, since most companies were refraining from landing at Iraqi airports, and this means that the major losses fall on the Iraqi Airways Company, and there is a service impact at the airports on travelers through the cessation of flights.”
“This disrupts the work of many travelers, and it has definite economic impacts as well.”
Israel launched a series of air strikes on Iran early on Saturday morning, and four hours after the beginning of the operation, which Tel Aviv called “Days of Response,” the Israeli army announced that it had completed the attack on military targets in Iran, and that all of its aircraft that carried out the attack Iran must return to its bases safely, and that the operation achieved all its objectives. https://baghdadtoday.news/260830-عصر-ازدهار-المافيات-في-العراق.-أزمات-الشعوب-تعزز-مواقع-عصابات-تهريب-العملة-عاجل.html

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
BIS PROJECT DEMONSTRATES AUTOMATED CROSS-BORDER TRANSACTION COMPLIANCE',.
Project Mandala uses zero-knowledge proofs to complete compliance checks across different jurisdictions.
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and its central bank partners have shown through Project Mandala that regulatory compliance can be embedded into cross-border transaction protocols.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
BIS PROJECT DEMONSTRATES AUTOMATED CROSS-BORDER TRANSACTION COMPLIANCE',.
Project Mandala uses zero-knowledge proofs to complete compliance checks across different jurisdictions.
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and its central bank partners have shown through Project Mandala that regulatory compliance can be embedded into cross-border transaction protocols.
The project is a collaboration involving central banks worldwide, including the BIS Innovation Hub Singapore Centre, the Reserve Bank of Australia, the Bank of Korea, Bank Negara Malaysia and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
On Oct. 28, the BIS updated its page for Project Mandala, highlighting that the project has reached its proof-of-concept stage.
The project, which seeks to automate compliance for cross-border transactions, is one of the BIS’ key projects for 2024. On Jan. 23, the BIS included Project Mandala in its work program.
The project also aligns with the G20 priority actions for enhancing cross-border payments.
Automated compliance checks in cross-border transactions
In an explainer video, the BIS detailed that, during the proof-of-concept phase of Project Mandala, all participant institutions, including commercial banks, central banks and other regulated financial entities, will operate a Mandala node within their systems.
Participants will interact through a peer-to-peer messaging system, which will help them obtain relevant policies applicable to transactions. The system will then transmit the necessary data to generate proof of compliance and manage any other information needed for automated compliance checks.
Within the Mandala system, rules across jurisdictions are stored in a repository and distributed across relevant parties. The data is applied against consumer transaction data to ensure that cross-border transactions are compliant.

The system implements zero-knowledge proofs to complete transaction compliance checks privately. ZK-proofs allow a prover to convince a verifier that a particular claim is true without revealing the details of the claims.
BIS “optimistic” about early results
In an announcement, Maha El Dimachki, head of the BIS Innovation Hub Singapore Centre, said that the central bank is optimistic about the potential of Project Mandala’s early results to enhance cross-border payments.
The official said that Mandala is “pioneering the compliance-by-design approach to improve cross-border payments without compromising privacy or the integrity of regulatory checks.”

HONG KONG PARTNERS CENTRAL BANKS OF BRAZIL, THAILAND FOR TOKENIZATION. TO OFFER DIGITAL BOND GRANTS
Today the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced collaborations with the central banks of Brazil and Thailand for cross border tokenization transactions, including atomic settlement of digital asset transactions (delivery versus payment / DvP) and wholesale CBDC (payment versus payment / PvP). Additionally, the HKMA plans to provide grants of up to HK$2.5 million for digital bond issuances to promote Hong Kong as a tokenization venue.
Hong Kong has previously issued two tokenized government green bond issuances, one tokenized (so the primary issuance was conventional) the other natively digital. The second one was worth more than US$750 million across multiple currencies and was the largest digital bond at the time. It has since been eclipsed by two KfW issuances.
As part of Hong Kong’s push to promote the digital asset ecosystem, it soon plans to publish guidelines for a new Digital Bond Grant Scheme that will offer a maximum grant of HK2.5 million for each eligible issuance.
Cross border collaborations
Given Brazil’s hugely successful launch of its Pix real time payment system, many are eagerly watching the progress of DREX, the Banco Central do Brasil’s wholesale CBDC and tokenization project. DREX recently announced the 13 themes to be trialed and re-opened applications for participants.
Now DREX and Hong Kong’s Project Ensemble tokenization project will trial cross border transactions, including for trade finance and carbon credits.
Previously, Hong Kong conducted a trial with the Banque de France.
HKMA unveiled a similar collaboration with the Bank of Thailand, with whom it previously partnered for CBDC in Project Inthanon-LionRock. That initiative expanded to mBridge, the cross border CBDC project that has reached the minimum viable project stage.
The Thai collaboration will involve Thailand’s Project San, an internal experiment that is testing a tokenization ecosystem. This includes wholesale settlement, Ethereum-compatible ledgers for tokenized deposits and digital assets, plus an interoperability mechanism.
HKMA emphasized the interoperability work, specifically how to enable the interoperability of separate distributed financial market infrastructures (dFMIs).
For the interoperability aspect, the HKMA is also a new associate member of the Linux Foundation (LF) Decentralized Trust (an evolution of Hyperledger), joining seven other central bank members that are collaborating on the technical requirements for central bank digital currencies (CBDC).
Project Ensemble Sandbox update
Additionally, the HKMA provided an update on its Project Ensemble Sandbox for wholesale CBDC, tokenized deposits and tokenization. It previously outlined some of the planned use cases, and today disclosed which ones have completed. JP Morgan has joined the sandbox alongside two technology firms, R3 and Tencent affiliate, WeBank Technology Services.
It added a new use case for tokenized or digital funds involving China Construction Bank (Asia), Fubon Bank (Hong Kong), JETCO and OSL Digital Securities.
These announcements were part of the Hong Kong Fintech Week. This morning, keynotes by the Treasury, Securities and Futures Commission and HKMA involved sharing other updates on stablecoins and cryptocurrency.

Tishwash: Economist: Lowering interest rates encourages investment but carries caveats
Economic expert Salah Nouri confirmed today, Sunday, that reducing the interest rate is one of the main tools of monetary policy used by the Central Bank to influence the economy, whether by increasing or decreasing it according to inflation or deflation rates.
Nouri explained in his interview with {Euphrates News} that “reducing the interest rate encourages individuals and companies to borrow for productive projects, which leads to stimulating the economy,” adding: “Lower interest makes the cost of loans lower, and thus encourages consumption and investment.”
Nouri pointed out that "reducing the interest rate reduces the cost of production and perhaps the prices of imported goods, which leads to a reduction in selling prices," but he warned that "reducing the interest rate may push depositors to withdraw their deposits due to the decrease in returns, and resort to alternative investments such as gold."
He added: "It is necessary for the Central Bank to monitor the money market and commodity prices to measure the level of c: Al Furat News}inflation, especially since facilitating borrowing may affect the elasticity of demand versus supply." link

Mot: Diary of a Demented Snow Shoveler
December 8 6:00 PM
It started to snow. The first snow of the season and
the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by
the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down
from heaven. It looked like a Grandma Moses print. So
romantic we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
December 9
We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow
covering every inch of the landscape. What a fantastic
sight! Can there be a more lovely place in
the whole world? Moving here was the best idea I've
ever had!
Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again.
I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.
This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered
up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got
to shovel again. What a perfect life!
December 12
The sun has melted all our lovely snow. Such a
disappointment! My neighbor tells me not to worry-
we'll definitely have a white Christmas. No snow on
Christmas would be awful! Bob says we'll have so much
snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see
snow again. I don't think that's possible. Bob is such
a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.
December 14
Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night The
temperature dropped to -20. The cold makes everything
sparkle so. The wind took my breath away, but I warmed
up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks. This is
the life! The snowplow came back this afternoon and
buried everything again. I didn't
realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling,
but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish
I wouldn't huff and puff so.
December 15
20 inches forecast. Sold my van and bought a 4x4
Blazer. Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2
extra shovels. Stocked the freezer. The wife wants
a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think
that's silly. We aren't in Alaska , after all.
December 16
Ice storm this morning. Fell on my a** on the ice in
the driveway putting down salt. Hurt like h***. The
wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very
cruel.
December 17
Still way below freezing. Roads are too icy to go
anywhere. Electricity was off for 5 hours. I had to
pile the blankets on to stay warm. Nothing to do but
stare at the wife and try not to irritate her. Guess I
should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to
her. I hate it when she's right. I can't believe
I'm freezing to death in my own living room.
December 20
Electricity is back on, but had another 14 inches of
the d*** stuff last night. More shoveling! Took all
day The d*** snowplow came by twice.
Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said
they're too busy playing hockey. I think they're lying.
Called the only hardware store around to see about
buying a snow blower and they're out. Might have
another shipment in March. I think they're lying.
Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done
and bill me. I think he's lying.
December 22
Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more
inches of the white s**** fell today, and it's so cold,
it probably won't melt till August. Took me 45 minutes
to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I
had to p***. By the time I got undressed, p***ed and
dressed again. I was too tired to shovel. Tried to
hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of
the winter, but he says he's too busy.
I think the a**h*** is lying.
December 23
Only 2 inches of snow today. And it warmed up to 0.
The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house
this morning. What is she, nuts?!!
Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago?
She says she did but I think she's lying.
December 24
6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, I broke
the shovel. Thought I was having a heart attack. If I
ever catch the son of a b**** who drives that snow
plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his b**** and
beat him to death with my broken shovel.. I know he
hides around the corner and waits for me to finish
shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100
miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just
been! Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas
carols with her and open our presents, but I was too
busy watching for the d*** snowplow.
December 25
Merry Christmas! 20 more inches of the d***
slop tonight - Snowed in.
The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil. D***, I hate
the snow!
Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation
and I hit him over the head with my shovel. The wife
says I have a bad attitude. I think she's a idiot.
If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one
more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.
December 26
Still snowed in. Why the h*** did I ever move here? It
was all HER idea.
She's really getting on my nerves.
December 27
Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze;
plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he
only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.
December 28
Warmed up to above -20. Still snowed in. The B------ is
driving me crazy!!!
December 29
10 more inches. Bob says I have to shovel the roof or
it could cave in. That's the silliest thing I ever
heard How dumb does he think I am?
December 30
Roof caved in. I beat up the snow plow driver, and now
he is suing me for a million dollars, not only for the
beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the
broken snow shovel up his a?. The wife went home to
her mother.
Nine more inches predicted.
December 31
I set fire to what's left of the house. No more shoveling.
