Member: Good Morning, All!! I hope your weekend was fantastic, and Happy Veteran's Day!!

Member: Thank you to all the Veterans for all of their sacrifices for our country!

MZ: We give all the Veterans our utmost gratitude. Thank you

MZ: An interesting weekend in Iraq, We are joined for a reading on Armistice Day. We honor our Veterans.

Member: How much longer can they push this out, too many barely surviving..

MZ: We do not know the timing but, there is a massive push in Iraq to go before Dec. 10th. They say that’s when they want to be complete – so IMO they need to go sometime this month. That makes the most sense.

Member: Another guru said redemption center appointments should start on 26th, why would they start on Thanksgiving week?

Member: I would be Thankful to see the RV that week for sure. Or sooner!

Member: Many are saying that by Tues.12 Nov. we should have a shotgun start.?

Member: I listened to militiaman last nite...he doesnt think it will be 2025...but VERY SOON now!

Member: Goldilocks doesn’t think it will go until first part of 2025 because that is when some banking laws take affect.

MZ: Goldilocks may be right……but we will see.

MZ: So far this morning it is very quiet on the bond side. But that is to be expected. On the west coast they don’t start moving around until 2-3 pm est in the afternoon . I hope to have a very solid update on the bond side this evening.

MZ: CMKX also silent over the weekend.

Member: So no RV until Trump officially takes office on Jan 20th?

MZ: I have simply not heard that ……80-90%  of my contacts believe we will be going before Dec 10th. There are a few outliers opinion that we wont be going until Trump is in….but the overwhelming majority believe we will go between now and Dec. 10th.

Member I beleive we are on the threshold.

MZ: In Iraq they were very busy and working over the weekend. That is where I am going to focus this morning.

MZ” “Government spokesman reveals the most important features of the Sudanese and Trump communication”  This article really gets into the discussion. Trump believes Iraq can be a very calming influence in the region. They had spoken a number of times already. I believe at least 3 times since Trump was elected. The two sides stressed moving forward with relations between our countries and they also talked about money, technology and Iraq’s role in it…..you have to know Trump has a interest in iraqs ascension and change in Value. It would bring financial stability to the US and peace and prosperity to many parts of the world. This is very encouraging.

MZ: Iraq is talking right now about how many things they can now move forward on now that they could not move forward with before – when they did not know which administration was going to be running the US. It seems the Iraqi people are excited about Trump being elected as now they know where they stand and can move forward with their reforms ……I found that very interesting as I read their weekend news articles. .

MZ: Benjamin Netanyahu also spoke at least 3 times with Trump on to bring things to a conclusion in Israel and end the conflict.

MZ: “ A Turning Point in fiscal policies-What happens after the dollar movement monitoring platform?” this is all about the auctions . They talk about the mechanisms in securing the US dollar for trade. How is it now going to function?  Well the Iraqi banks will be sovereign. They will be working with an organization in the US and this may shock people.

MZ: “The advisor for the Prime Minister announces the mechanisms of support of the US Treasury to Iraq” Not the Federal Reserve. So it’s the US Treasury in charge of the movement of money , securely moving money and handling loans to Iraq if any of them need forgiving or adjusting. So who is working with Iraq to make sure banks are modernized and secure?   The US Treasury.  No longer working with the Federal Reserve.

MZ: This is huge because we were told one of Trumps plans is to fold the Federal Reserve into the US Treasury and do away with the Fed as we know it now.

Member: I think this is huge…..and good by Jerome Powell.

Member:  Stock market news is talking about Warren Buffet is getting ready to go on a massive shopping spree when the market recorrects

MZ: That makes sense

MZ: “ Parliamentary Finance reveals a move to question the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq. We are working to change it” Iraq has some antiquated laws that Alaq is past the retirement age. Some say he should already be retired…..But parliament is working on changing that law so he can continue to work.I think this is important as they get close to changing their rate….

Member: Alaq needs to finish the RV that he started.  

MZ: “ Elon Musk Reposts call to end the Federal Reserve Bank” He says the Federal reserve bank has deviated from the constitution and this is another reason why we should “End The Fed” The constitution does not allow for the Federal Reserve. So they can remove it. Elon Musk and Judy Shelton is a big fan of this. There is also growing influence for this by Rand and Ron Paul. We will see “End the Fed” picking up speed.

Member: Come on QFS and new USN asset backed currency!!!!.

MZ: “Sudani heads to Saudi Arabia to participate in Arab and Islamic summit”  They are working on establishing peace in the middle east right now.  

MZ: In Vietnam: “ Vietnam Central Bank ready to sell US dollars to keep exchange rate stable” so they are going to sell US dollars and bring back in Vietnamese dong off the streets. What did we say about the pivot and auctions ending….A similar thing is happening in Iraq. They pull Dinar and dong off the streets to support its value. I believe they are about to change their exchange rates.

Member: MarkZ, IYO, is the VND going to RV at or above $!?

Member: Even if worst case scenario all currencies go 1 to 1 at the start……It will be a huge ROI  (Return on Investment) for all of us.

MZ: I still expect the dong to go at the same time.

Member: What is your gut prediction saying today Mark?

MZ: I am waiting for a bond update today before I give you that.

Member: Mark do you think some are the bond people are under an NDA?

MZ: Yes I do. But whether or not they have been paid- in all certainty I don’t.

Member: Do you think the Iranian Rial will go at the same time as the dong and dinar?

MZ: I do not think the Rial will be in the first basket. I wish it were- but do not think it is.

Member: “Veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great, and we must never forget all they have done to ensure our freedom.”

Member: Happy Veterans Day to all who served!! We appreciate and thank you all!!!

4 Reasons You Should Stock Up on $100 Bills Before the Winter

I’m a Money Expert: 4 Reasons You Should Stock Up on $100 Bills Before the Winter

Joel Lim  Sat, November 9, 2024    GOBankingRates

Digital payments are expected to reach $11 trillion in 2024. That’s a lot of virtual money changing hands.

But what if something goes wrong? It happens all the time. Banks close, digital payment platforms fail, or you lose your debit card. While an increase in spending during the winter months is predictable, the unexpected events are, of course, unpredictable.

So, one thing is clear — there are many things could happen that prevent you from using your hard-earned money. So, is it a good idea to stock up on $100 bills now? Waiting could mean your money gets tied up, and you miss out on your planned purchase.

Why Hundreds?

The $100 bill is the most common currency in circulation in the United States, yet it is also the most hated. Most people generally withdraw $100 bills when they want to store cash, not spend it. It’s like a guaranteed savings account right there in your hands. (Or under your mattress.)

Sure, it might feel unsafe to have cash on hand when you could keep it in savings, but your savings aren’t always readily available to you. Cash is.

Why not twenties? $20 bills take up way more space than hundreds. And if you’re storing a couple thousand dollars for the winter, twenties will require much more space. It becomes a bulky, unmanageable problem to wade through twenties when you can just grab a crisp $100.

Plus, if you pull out hundreds “just in case” and don’t end up spending them, it’s easier to deposit them back into the bank.

You might catch the occasional eye-roll if you pull out a C-note. Or you may have to wait a bit longer for your cashier to run a counterfeit pen across the bill. But you’ll have peace of mind that you have all the cash you need to get through an unpredictable winter.

As Tim Peters, Chief Marketing Officer at Enghouse Systems, who works with dozens of financial institutions, notes, “Based on historical norms, we know people are cash hoarders with the advent of uncertainty and thus secure lending capabilities. An example is 2008 when the cash circulation rose by 20%.”

Winter is perhaps the most unpredictable time of year, and it gets more chaotic each year with the climate changing wildly, among other things. Here are just a few reasons to stock up on $100 bills before winter arrives.

1. The Banks Could Close

Where we once knew with some certainty what kind of weather we would see in specific regions, those days are gone. Now, snowstorms hit regions not always prepared, leaving millions in freezing temperatures.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS DIGITAL ASSET PLATFORM PROPOSAL POISED TO RESHAPE GLOBAL INVESTMENT

A proposed BRICS digital asset platform could ignite unprecedented investment in South Asia, Africa, and Latin America, driving growth in emerging markets.

Digital Assets at the Core of BRICS’ Ambitious New Investment Platform
Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the proposed creation of a BRICS investment platform to support developing markets at the Valdai Discussion Club’s plenary session in Sochi on Friday. He was quoted by Tass as saying:

We suggest creating a new investment platform of [BRICS countries], using electronic assets, developing them.

“The point is to create such a platform of electronic payments, with the use of which it will be possible to invest in developing markets, and these are primary markets of South Asia, Africa, and Latin America in part,” the Russian leader added. The proposed system would facilitate investments from BRICS nations into high-growth areas by utilizing a digital framework, enabling streamlined investment in these regions.

The BRICS economic bloc expanded on Jan. 1 to include Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), joining Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. This expansion aimed to boost the group’s global economic and political influence. At a recent summit in Russia, BRICS also extended partnership invitations to 13 additional countries, further widening its international presence.

Putin highlighted that the regions targeted by this initiative exhibit strong demographic and economic potential, factors that make them attractive for BRICS investment. He opined:

We think so because very strong demographic processes are taking place there: population growth, capital accumulation, the urbanization level is in sufficient there and it will definitely grow.

At the 16th BRICS Summit, held from Oct. 22-24 in Kazan, Russia, members discussed expanding the bloc’s global influence, including developing alternatives to Western-dominated payment systems to boost financial independence. 

Putin has also clarified Russia’s stance on the U.S. dollar, stating that while Russia faces restrictions on its use, it does not intend to abandon the currency. He criticized U.S. policies that limit dollar use, arguing they undermine American financial authority, though he affirmed the dollar’s importance to Russia’s economy.

RIPPLE V. SEC LAWSUIT: RUMORS SUGGEST NEXT POTENTIAL CHAIRMAN OF THE REGULATOR WILL BE PRO-CRYPTO

Firing Gensler seems like one of Trump’s most important crypto-related promises.

▪️Trump’s pledge to replace SEC Chair Gensler with a pro-crypto leader has sparked excitement across the community.

▪️Legal experts believe such changes could lead to a faster resolution of the Ripple v. SEC case.

Gensler’s Possible Successor
Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential elections triggered a massive bull run for the cryptocurrency sector due to his shift from a previously skeptical view to a supportive stance on the asset class. During his campaign, the Republican pledged to make America “the crypto capital of the planet” and proposed creating a strategic BTC reserve.

He also expressed the intention to fire the SEC’s Chairman Gary Gensler on day 1, a promise which triggered huge enthusiasm among the XRP Army. To the uninitiated ones, the Commission and its head have been at war with numerous crypto companies, including Ripple.

Crypto X has been speculating whether the newly-elected president will stick to his promise and wondering who might replace Gensler at the helm of the securities regulator. 

Eleanor Terrett (a popular journalist at Fox Business) recently claimed she discussed the matter with “a person close to the Trump transition team,” who assured her that the successor “will be someone pro-crypto.”

NEW: I asked a person close to the Trump transition team about some of the names being floated for @SECGov chair and whether views on #crypto would factor into the decision.

The response: “I promise you it will be someone pro-crypto.”

— Eleanor Terrett (@EleanorTerrett) November 8, 2024

A new SEC Chairman who is more open to innovation and less inclined to hamper the crypto industry’s advancement by constant legal battles is considered good news not only for those invested in XRP but the entire digital asset market.

The Potential Effect on the Case
Last week, Fred Rispoli (a US attorney who has been following the updates surrounding the Ripple v. SEC lawsuit) argued that the election of Trump could lead to “extreme changes” at the watchdog.

He claimed that the $125 million penalty, which Federal Judge Torres ordered Ripple to pay for violating certain securities laws, is the biggest win the agency can gain. Rispoli also thinks that the SEC’s new potential leadership will “recognize this whole case was idiotic and settle at that point.”

“This might include a reduction in the fine and an agreement that current sales of XRP by Ripple are sufficiently structured to not be investment contracts,“ he added.

The American lawyer Jeremy Hogan chipped in, too. He went even further, forecasting that the new leader of the SEC may dismiss all non-fraud crypto lawsuits filed over the years. Similar to Rispoli, Hogan believes the case could be officially settled for the amount of $125 million:

“It would be…awkward to settle for less than what was already awarded by a Court! The Coinbase and other cases in litigation will simply be dismissed. This will take some time. Not January, but perhaps before summer. That’s my call, and I’m sticking to it.”

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani in Saudi Arabia tomorrow: A speech at the Riyadh Summit and an attempt to limit the “expansion of the conflict”

An informed political source reported that Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani will head to the Saudi capital, Riyadh, tomorrow, Monday, November 11, to participate in the Arab-Islamic summit. 

The source told Shafaq News Agency, "The participation of the Iraqi delegation in the extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic summit, in Riyadh, will be headed by Al-Sudani and will include Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, and Al-Sudani will deliver a speech at the meeting." 

He pointed out that "any developments will take place after the meeting, such as side meetings with the leaders of the countries participating in the meeting."  

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein arrived in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, on Saturday evening to participate in the ministerial meeting of the extraordinary joint Arab-Islamic summit.

A statement by the Foreign Ministry said that Minister Hussein began his visit by meeting with the Palestinian Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed Mustafa, where they discussed ways to enhance bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

Leaders of Arab and Islamic countries have begun arriving in Saudi Arabia in preparation for a summit to be held tomorrow, Monday (November 11), to discuss the war in Gaza and Lebanon and developments in the region, according to the Saudi Press Agency.

In late October, the Saudi Foreign Ministry announced the summit during the first meeting of an international coalition established to advance a two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The summit is being held to "discuss the continued Israeli aggression on the Palestinian territories and Lebanon and developments in the region," according to what the Saudi Press Agency reported on Sunday.

It comes as an "extension of the joint Arab-Islamic summit held in Riyadh on November 11, 2023" at the initiative of the Arab League (Cairo) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (Jeddah).

Tishwash:  Sabah Sobhi: The first reading of the draft oil export law will take place next week

A member of the Iraqi parliament's oil and gas committee confirmed that the first and second readings of the oil export bill are scheduled to take place in the Iraqi parliament next week, adding that there is agreement with the Shiite parties on certain conditions for passing the oil export bill.

“The main obstacle to oil exports was Article 12 of Budget Law No. 13 of 2023, as the second paragraph of that article, paragraph “c,” stipulated that the issue of production and transportation equals the cost of production and transportation in the federal Ministry of Oil. This means that all oil production and transportation depends on the federal Ministry of Oil’s estimates for all Iraqi oil fields.

 According to the federal Ministry of Oil, the cost of extracting oil in Iraq is about 9,000 to 9,000 dinars, while the cost of transportation is 1.2 cents, and oil companies are dealt with on this basis,” Sabah Subhi, a member of the Oil and Gas Committee in the Iraqi parliament, told Kurdistan 24.

He added, "Oil production in Kurdistan has been ongoing since 2007 and was the first stage of the export process, so an agreement was reached with the companies based on the government's and companies' share of the revenues, but since 2014 there have been attempts to stop the export of Kurdistan's oil."

Sabah Sobhi pointed out that "international security developments show that the Arabian Gulf is in danger due to tensions in the region, and the danger to Iraq in this case lies in the closure of the road to oil exports," adding that "Iraq only has one port for oil exports, which is the port of Basra, and 95% of Iraq's economy depends on oil."

He continued, "Iraq exports about 3.5 million barrels of oil per day. If we consider the price of a barrel at $70, the total amount of sales will be an imaginary amount. Therefore, if Iraq is unable to export its oil, a disaster will occur, since Iraq's economy depends on oil by 95%."

He added, "Iraq is looking for another port to export its oil, and it has the Haditha crossing, through which Iraq has been trying to build an oil pipeline for years, and the cost of the project is estimated at two billion dollars."

Sabah Sobhi stressed that "there is great pressure on the federal government to solve the oil problem before the arrival of winter in Europe, because there are many countries suffering from an energy crisis."

He explained that "the first and second readings of the oil export project will take place on Sunday and Monday of next week."

A member of the parliamentary oil and gas committee said, “The State Administration Coalition held a meeting on the issue of oil exports and everyone agreed to amend the project.”

He added, “I believe that the Shiite parties will agree to the project on condition that some of the project’s articles related to providing the governorates’ budgets and the issue of oil revenues are amended, in addition to some strategic projects for some of the central and southern governorates.”  link

Financial assets hit new record highs ahead of 2024

 The year 2024 witnessed a large number of financial assets recording new record levels that they had never seen before, especially with the shifts in global monetary policy and developments in the political and geopolitical situation across different regions of the world.

This year, gold, Bitcoin, the US stock market, European indices, and technology stocks, especially the chip and semiconductor giant Nvidia, have all reached record levels never seen before. 

These increases provided distinct investment opportunities for all investors and small speculators who benefited from the possibility of trading these assets through the best licensed trading companies in Iraq 2024 .

Geopolitical concerns and political developments

Despite the different factors that pushed these assets to record levels, there are one or two factors that are common in pushing them to record these increases. For example, geopolitical developments in the Middle East and fears of an escalation of the war between Israel and Iran supported the rise of gold. On the other hand, the boom in artificial intelligence was one of the most important factors that supported the shares of the technology giant Nvidia, which in turn boosted the US stock market.

Monetary policy shift of central banks

At the same time, there are stable factors that support all of these assets, the most important of which are developments in monetary policy and the shift of global central banks from financial tightening based on raising interest rates from the beginning of 2022 until the middle of this year.

The central bank of Australia, Canada, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Federal Reserve have all begun to cut interest rates as global inflation rates decline. In this regard, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in November for the second time this year by 25 basis points after cutting interest rates for the first time last September by 50 basis points amid expectations of a third cut in December by another 25 basis points, bringing the total expected interest rate cuts in 2024 to about 1 percent.

The Bank of England cut interest rates twice this year by 25 basis points each time, while the European Central Bank preceded all banks after approving three interest rate cuts amid expectations of an additional cut in the last months of the year. Cutting interest rates supports financial assets by withdrawing savings from banks with the decline in the interest they generate, as they are pumped into other assets such as the stock market with the aim of targeting a higher return, or gold, which is a store of value and does not bring interest, but it is a safe asset that investors resort to in times of uncertainty and for the purpose of hedging.

Is the beginning of the year marathon over?

There are currently some questions about whether what can be called the market bull marathon is over, especially for those who missed the start of the big rise. Gold has been accelerating since August of last year, while US indices have accelerated at the beginning of this year in what is known in the financial markets as the "Santa Rally". In this context, it can be answered that the markets, despite the possibility of recording some downward corrections, the factors for continuing the rise already seem to be present, especially with Donald Trump clinching the presidency, amid expectations of adopting financial policies that may maintain the momentum of the index market's rise.

At the same time, central banks have not finished their stimulus policy, which supports the rise of most financial assets, especially the stock market and some assets that enhance the value of the risk spirit.

NVIDIA is the world's largest company by market value

The upside potential in the stock market looks promising, especially with some companies hitting record highs that seem unlikely to stop in the medium term. For example, Nvidia shares have seen exceptional growth this year, a growth that is expected to maintain its accelerating momentum amid estimates of the company’s ability to maintain an accelerated growth rate in graphics processing units. Its market value has tripled to briefly surpass Apple as the most valuable company in the world, with a market value of about $3.53 trillion, ahead of the technology giant Apple. Its net income rose from about $2.3 billion in the first half of 2022 to about $31.5 billion for the same period in 2024.

Microsoft ranked third with a market value estimated at about $3.19 trillion, followed by Alphabet with a market value of about $2.04 trillion. Meanwhile, Apple’s stock was affected by downward pressure after Warren Buffett-led Berkshire Hathaway announced a major sale of part of its stake in the company. link

Clare:     Including debt cancellation... Determining the mechanisms for US Treasury support for Iraq

11/10/2024   Baghdad

Today, Sunday, the Prime Minister's Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, announced the mechanisms of the US Treasury's support for Iraq since 2003, while he indicated the continuation of consultations with the US Treasury regarding combating money laundering.

Saleh told the official agency, which was followed by "Al-Eqtisad News": "The cooperation and coordination between Iraq and the US Treasury extends back to the first years since the change of the former regime," indicating that "the Treasury played an important supporting role in supporting the Paris Club agreement in 2004 concerned with writing off Iraq's debts called pre-1990 debts, and the presence of Treasury representatives in the Paris Club agreement secretariat helped ensure the writing off of 80% or more of the former regime's debts."

“The US Treasury succeeded in supporting infrastructure financing in Iraq through the conference held in the Spanish capital Madrid on October 23-24, 2003. Its primary goal was to mobilize financial support for the reconstruction of Iraq after the US-led invasion in 2003. Seventy countries and international organizations participated in the conference,” he added, explaining that “the conference managed to collect pledges amounting to about $33 billion, but a large part of these amounts was in the form of loans or technical support, and not all of it was direct financial aid.”

He explained that "the US Treasury contributed to establishing the Iraqi payments system in 2006 through a direct technical agreement with the Central Bank of Iraq to establish a wholesale payments system between the Central Bank on the one hand and the banks and the government in transferring funds and settling them electronically on the other hand, in addition to entering the era of settling bank checks electronically as well, which are matters in financial technology that are being introduced for the first time in our country,"

Noting that "from the history of the important assistance provided by the Treasury, it has played an important role in replacing the local, fast-forgery edition of the dinar that was issued during the nineties siege in the largest campaign witnessed by Iraq between late 2003 and early 2004 with the international edition of the dinar, according to the highest international technical specifications."

He stressed that "since the signing of the Strategic Framework Agreement in 2008 until today, there have been continuous consultations between representatives of the financial and monetary authorities in our country and the treasury to cooperate in combating money laundering and the proceeds of crime and terrorism in a manner that achieves governance and compliance for our financial and banking system as well as its optimal integration into the global financial and economic climate."  LINK

Tishwash:  Iraqi PM visits Kurdistan Region on Wednesday

Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, Iraqi Prime Minister, is set to visit Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, next Wednesday.

A government source told Shafaq News that al-Sudani will meet with Kurdish officials in the region during his visit to hold several discussions before heading to al-Sulaymaniyah province  link

Remember, Nader said it’s all about import export

Nader:  11-10-2024

ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Iraqi government with the help of the Central Bank of Iraq, do its best to increase the price of Iraqi dinar against US dollar, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, Iraq’s new premier, said in a press conference on Tuesday.

 “The interests of the needy were not taken into consideration in devaluing Iraqi currency. We tend not to repeat that in this cabinet,” he said.

Tackling endemic corruption in the country is one of the priorities of this cabinet, he said. The Iraqi government work with other neighboring other countries to return Iraq’s “stolen money,” he added.

Faced by financial crisis caused by low oil prices amid COVID-19 pandemic, the Iraqi Central Bank decided to devalue the currency, setting the exchange rate at 1,460 dinars per dollar to the public. Before the decision, each dollar was traded at 1,182 Iraqi dinars.

As Iraq’s market is heavily relied upon imports, the decision sparked public outrage and demonstrations, outcrying the rising prices of commodities. The former Finance Minister Ali A. Allawi argued that the rising commodity prices was part of the global inflation, defending the devaluation decision as it had increased the state revenue amid liquidity crisis.

Expanding Banking Services And A Call To Protect Beneficiaries From Falling Into The Trap Of Usury

November 10, 2024  Baghdad - Qusay Munther  Economic experts called on the government to intervene and set controls to ensure that excessive interest rates that affect the neediest groups are reduced, and to provide flexible banking alternatives that comply with Sharia conditions.

The experts told Al-Zaman yesterday that “the government is required, in light of the reforms it is carrying out in the banking sector, to urge these parties to reconsider the high interest on granting loans, as it constitutes an additional burden on those with limited income, in addition to the fact that despite the pressures that force them to apply for it, it pushes them to fall into Sharia warnings.”

They added that “religious scholars stress the need to take into account Islamic Sharia in financial transactions, which rejects patterns of usurious interest that are characterized by excessive increase in loans.”

Previous invitation

Al-Zaman had previously called on the government regarding the high usurious interest rates imposed by banks, calling for the need to take measures to ease the financial burdens on citizens and ensure that these rates are consistent with Islamic teachings, which contributes to protecting different social classes from falling into the trap of usury. Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani directed the expansion of banking services in the governorates.

A statement received by Al-Zaman yesterday said that (Al-Sudani directed a set of steps within the framework of efforts to reform the financial and banking system, as one of the priorities of the government program, and in light of the important steps achieved during the past two years, and in light of the challenges that the financial and banking system is witnessing, especially in the governorates,

 and since confronting them requires greater attention and radical improvements to ensure enhancing confidence in the financial and banking sectors, facilitating the process of economic development, increasing financial inclusion and raising its indicators throughout the country),

 and he stressed (increasing the number of bank branches in the governorates to meet the needs of the local population, and in a way that contributes to expanding the scope of financial services, while paying attention to buildings and their modernity and providing their basic requirements),

calling for (the necessity for all banks in the governorates to adopt modern technologies such as online banking services and mobile applications, which facilitates citizens’ access to their banking services easily),

reiterating (the importance of banks developing their financial services in a manner that suits the needs of individuals and small companies, such as soft loans and savings accounts,

in addition to enhancing financial inclusion in the governorates by providing banking services to different segments of society, including (districts and sub-districts in villages and rural areas), and pointed out that (the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank of Iraq,

and the Iraqi Private and Islamic Banks Associations will undertake coordination operations with the governors’ offices to accomplish the above tasks according to their jurisdiction and responsibility, and submit quarterly reports every three months to the Prime Minister’s Office regarding the progress of work regarding the steps mentioned above).

For its part, Rafidain Bank announced the expansion of the comprehensive banking system to include 48 branches.

Infrastructure

The bank explained in a statement received by (Al-Zaman) yesterday that (as part of its continuous efforts to enhance the digital infrastructure and provide distinguished banking services, we announce the operation of 48 branches within the comprehensive banking system,

which reflects its commitment to updating its services according to the highest international standards), and continued that (this development comes as part of the bank’s strategy to improve the customer experience across all its branches, and facilitate access to integrated, fast and secure banking services),

noting that (the comprehensive banking system is a qualitative shift in the bank’s path, as it supports digital transformation and enhances the bank’s ability to efficiently meet the needs of wide segments of customers), and the statement went on to say that (this continuous expansion will include more branches in the future, as part of a well-thought-out plan aimed at providing a modern banking experience that contributes to supporting the national economy, and meeting the needs of society with distinguished and comprehensive banking services).    LINK

Planning Sets Date For Announcing Preliminary And Final Census Results

Local | 10/11/2024  Mawazine News – Baghdad  The Ministry of Planning announced today, Sunday, that it will support the population census with 100 special scientific blogs. While indicating that the census is not political, but rather developmental to determine the poverty line in Iraq, it confirmed that the final results of the census will be announced within 6 weeks.

The Administrative Undersecretary of the Ministry of Planning, Hanaa Al-Asadi, said during the press conference, "Mawazine News", that "the census is for Iraq and not for planning and has not seen the light for a long time due to major challenges, but Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and the Minister of Planning insisted on completing the process."

She added: "We started the process of enumeration and numbering and there were challenges, but with the efforts of the members of the Statistics Authority and their keenness, the process was completed successfully through communication with the governors," noting that "we are waiting for the 20th and 21st of this month, which is the biggest challenge."

She explained that "the population census, due to what it entails, is a database for developing correct plans and visions," indicating that "the plan is to include projects according to the needs of each governorate."

She pointed out that "the issue of fear of giving correct information to mobile teams is incorrect because through them the requirements of each region and the economic classes of society will be measured and known, meaning inferring the citizens living below the poverty line and the residents of slums, to develop correct plans to include projects that serve their interests even if they are implemented after 15 years."

She noted that "the census is not political and that the candidates for election are determined based on the census to serve the citizens and the data will be analyzed by specialists within the statisticians and sorted according to the paragraphs and then go to the Department of Economic Policies within the Ministry of Planning,

which in turn will develop an appropriate plan in line with the population census through data on the number of the poor and disabled, the number of displaced persons, the number of hospitals, schools and educational centers,

in addition to people with special needs, for the purpose of including projects that are consistent with the needs of the population, while linking the private sector to the census as a partner with the state and including investors and contractors."

Regarding the devices used in the census process, Al-Asadi confirmed that, "according to the directives of the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning and within the general controls, which are instructions for implementing contracts, several companies have applied in addition to the consulting company that evaluates the best companies and contracts have been signed.

So far, there has been no hesitation on the part of those companies, and they have been a great help despite the fact that they are in exchange for a financial return, in addition to the Housing Bank, which provided a special consultant within the Statistics Authority."

Regarding social care, Al-Asadi noted that, "Our goal is not to cut salaries for anyone, but we want to know the level of poverty in Iraq and the number of graduates and unemployed."

For his part, the Executive Director General of the Census, Ali Adnan Saleh, said in a statement to the official agency, followed by NRT Arabic, that "the first phase of the census has been completed, and the most important is the stage of packaging, enumeration and numbering,"

adding that "the required documents are in partnership with the national card, as they have been completed for 94% of the population, and those who do not have an official document, there is a field in which there are those who do not have documents, so the information of the people is relied upon, and after that this information is transferred to the Unified Card Department to match the information,

 and the initial results of the census will be announced during the first days, and after 6 weeks the final announcement will be made officially."   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=256507

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

‘WE WON THAT CASE LAST SUMMER’: RIPPLE CEO OPENS UP ABOUT TRUMP, GENSLER AND XRP LAWSUIT

In recent days, Ripple’s XRP has been making headlines. However, its progress is being hindered by an ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

CEO Brad Garlinghouse discussed Donald Trump’s support for cryptocurrency, where Trump has positioned himself as a “crypto advocate” during his campaign. Trump has even stated that one of his first actions if elected president would be to remove Gary Gensler, the SEC chairman, who has taken a tough stance against crypto.

Global Crypto Regulations vs. U.S. Approach
In an interview with BBC, Brad points out that many countries like the UK, Switzerland, and Singapore have embraced crypto by creating clear regulatory frameworks.

This has allowed the crypto industry to grow, attracting entrepreneurs and capital. In contrast, the U.S. government, particularly under the Biden administration, has been more hostile toward crypto, creating challenges for the industry..

What a Win Would Mean for Crypto?
Brad talked about the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. SEC. Ripple has been fighting the SEC over whether XRP should be classified as a security. Last summer, a judge ruled that XRP is not a security, but the SEC is appealing the decision, though they are not challenging the ruling on XRP itself.

Brad stressed the need for clearer regulations in the U.S. While Bitcoin and XRP have some regulatory clarity, many other cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum and Solana, remain in a “gray area.” 

This lack of clarity makes it difficult for the industry to move forward. Brad advocates for clear, well-defined regulations—similar to those in the UK or Japan—so that the crypto industry can follow the rules without fear of uncertainty.

SEC’s Role in Crypto Regulation
He criticized the SEC under Gary Gensler for trying to regulate crypto through enforcement actions rather than creating formal, clear rules. He argues that cryptocurrencies, unlike traditional securities, do not provide ownership rights or governance rights, so they should not be classified as securities.

CHARLES HOSKINSON BREAKS SILENCE WITH FOUNDATIONAL MODEL OF CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently returned to social media with a compelling message that outlines his vision for Cardano and its potential. In his first major tweet since a brief hiatus, Hoskinson described Cardano as "a decentralized ecosystem of blockchain technology, smart contracts, and community governance committed to improving economic, political, and social systems for everyone, everywhere."

Hoskinson went on to outline Cardano's role as a foundational infrastructure designed to empower individuals and communities to "manage their identity, value, and governance," and foster the emergence of decentralized applications, businesses and network states.

This marks one of Hoskinson's first posts on X since Nov. 3, when he announced that he would be taking a week-long social media break to celebrate his birthday and enjoy time "off-grid." His return brings a renewed sense of purpose and focus on Cardano’s mission, reflected in his first tweets.

The Cardano community has reacted positively to Hoskinson’s statement, seeing it as a reaffirmation of the project's goals and values. What happened? Hoskinson previously lamented growing criticisms toward him and the Cardano ecosystem.

Amid this and with one user implying that Hoskinson might be Cardano's cancer, the founder decided to poll the community.

In the survey, Hoskinson asked if he was a "cancer" for Cardano. The poll received 50,501 votes at press time, with 51.6% agreeing that Hoskinson was Cardano's "cancer" and 48.4% saying the Cardano founder was not to blame for the ecosystem's challenges.

Apparently dismayed by the results of the poll, Hoskinson decided to take a break from X throughout the week, stating he wanted to disconnect and meditate. In a Nov. 3 post, Hoskinson made known his decision saying "It's going to be a lot of fun disconnecting and meditating.

On the other side, I'm going to have a different approach to social media and how I communicate to the Cardano ecosystem. I suspect I'll use X a lot less and will emphasize more productive and curated mediums. I will miss the daily interactions and spontaneity of things, but it's honestly become too toxic."

Unexploded Bombs In Banking System | Rick Rule

Liberty and finance:  11-9-2024

Legendary investor Rick Rule provides a stark outlook on the financial system, warning of the dangers posed by government debt, inflation, and the unsustainable promises made by social programs like Social Security.

He explains how institutions such as banks are facing severe financial strain due to mismatches in their portfolios—long-dated fixed-rate obligations funded by short-term deposits—exposing them to the risks of rising interest rates.

Rule also highlights the precarious future facing retirees, especially those relying on Social Security, as inflation erodes the value of nominal benefits.

 With the U.S. government’s rising debt and unfunded liabilities, he cautions that the real value of future benefits will diminish, leaving many retirees unprepared. Ultimately, he stresses the importance of individuals taking control of their financial futures, acknowledging the challenges while emphasizing resilience and proactive planning.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

NORWAY SUPPORTS MICA, CONSIDERS CBDC FOR FINANCIAL STABILITY

Norges Bank backs the EU’s MiCA regulation while considering a CBDC to enhance cross-border payments and support financial stability in Norway.

Norges Bank, Norway’s central bank, has endorsed the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) as the country evaluates the potential adoption of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).

Kjetil Watne, project director for Norges Bank’s CBDC project, said in an interview with Cointelegraph that Norway, as a member of the European Economic Area (EEA), welcomes MiCA’s framework. However, he noted that the bank is still considering “whether additional regulations are necessary to promote financial stability.”

Watne explained that Norges Bank has “not yet decided” if it will issue a CBDC and is assessing how to “mitigate regulatory gaps related to decentralized finance.”

Supporting MiCA and CBDC implementation
As part of the EEA, Norway closely aligns with EU regulations, including MiCA, which Watne said is “under public review and currently being assessed by the Ministry of Finance.”

According to Watne, Norges Bank considers CBDCs potentially useful for cross-border payments but that “it remains to be seen how a CBDC-based cross-border payment system would look.”

In 2023, the bank participated in “Project Icebreaker,” a trial exploring new architectures for retail CBDC transactions across borders. Watne added:

“We believe that an eventual CBDC will, if issued, will supplement and not replace cash. We also believe that digital currencies will continue to exist in parallel with CBDCs.”

Addressing privacy concerns
According to Watne, Norges Bank has taken a measured stance on privacy concerns related to CBDCs, recognizing that digital payments “will leave digital taxes.”

He emphasized that Norges Bank “is not responsible for monitoring individual payment transactions” and noted that most central banks, including Norges Bank, do not plan to access customer CBDC payment details or account balances.
“Norges Bank’s analyses assume that this will be the path also for Norges Bank. As with other forms of payment, it will be necessary to ensure that relevant rules are complied with, for example anti-money laundering rules.”

Does MiCA pose “systemic” banking risks?
The EU’s MiCA regulation is set to take full effect on Dec. 30 and could introduce “systemic risks” to the banking sector, particularly for stablecoin reserves, according to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino.

Under MiCA, stablecoin issuers will be required to hold a significant portion of their reserves, at least 60%, in European banks, creating a cause for concern when it comes to loans.

Ardoino explained that, due to banks’ ability to loan up to 90% of their reserves, the risks posed by MiCA regulatory requirements could create significant points of vulnerability for reserves if a bank holding them goes bankrupt.

ANALYST: EUROPE IS SECRETLY PREPARING FOR A RENEWED GOLD STANDARD

Jan Nieuwenhuijs, an expert in gold markets, believes he has found evidence that Europe is preparing to adopt a new standard. He states that the recent movements of several Eastern European countries—purchasing or selling gold to reach a determined ratio—are part of the actions leading up to this development.

Analyst: Countries in Europe Equilibrating Gold Reserves to Adopt a Common Standard
Countries in Europe are getting ready to back their currency, at least partially, with gold. Jan Nieuwenhuijs, an expert in the movement of gold markets that follows central bank purchases, has found evidence that this is happening coordinately, even though central banks publicly deny it.

The root of this common understanding would be the 1999 Washington meeting that produced the Central Bank Gold Agreements, in which 15 central banks inked a pact to coordinate their gold sales and maintain a stable metal market.

On this agreement, Nieuwenhuijs stated:

For those paying close attention, it was obviously meant to equalize gold reserves among countries relative to GDP.

To justify his allegations, Nieuwenhuijs reports that the recent purchases from countries like Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic were directed to equilibrate their gold reserve to GDP ratio to the ones held by countries in the Eurozone. This is supported by statements made by Poland’s former Minister of Finance Konrad Raczkowski, directly commenting on these numbers.

Raczkowski assessed that Poland should purchase 120 tonnes of gold to reach the ratio maintained by several other countries in the Eurozone, 4% GDP. He declared:

It seems that in the near future, this will be the new gold standard for the entire eurozone. These reserves will have to be adjusted to the size of the economy.

Nonetheless, Nieuwenhuijs reports that, even with all the evidence surrounding these coordinated moves, central banks have continuously denied there is some kind of harmonization behind these exchanges. “Countless Freedom of Information (FOI) requests submitted throughout Europe, directed at central banks and Ministries of Finance, all yielded nil,” he stressed.

However, he has sometimes received negative answers to these petitions, with the Central Bank of Belgium stating that this information was “confidential,” obeying a central bank law that commanded the institution to maintain a “legal obligation of secrecy.”

In August, Nieuwenhuijs alleged that China, which had stopped purchasing gold according to reports, was secretly growing its reserves to take advantage of the price cool-off.
