MZ: “ US Business delegation visits the Kurdistan region.” A whole crew from the US to invest in Kurdistan”. Along with the HCL and the census- I hope you all are paying attention.
MZ: “Basra Refinery upgrade project” Japan signs a $388 million dollar loan . This will greatly increase revenue for the Iraqi government. This helps them justify and support a higher value to their currency.
MZ: “Planning the announcement of the preliminary results of the general census of Iraq next week” Early next week is in about 4 days. I have a feeling this may be what we are waiting for. Many in Iraq say they are waiting on this for distribution of funds and to change the value. I hope so.
MZ: “Global Economic risks spark calls to tie US dollar to gold again” Some economists advocate a return to the gold standard. The fiat system is the root cause of government over spending and inflation.It’s nice to see people waking up to what we have been telling them for some time now. This plan has been worked on for decades and now it’s coming to fruition.
MZ: Unfortunately the bond and bank side is still quiet. The group and Indian nation side is still quiet. CMKX and Prosperity package side is still quiet. I wish I had more for you.

The part that sparked my interest the most was…quote: “After the revaluation, it was linked to a basket of global currencies.” He was referring to the Chinese government Yuan and its revaluation of its currency in 2005, which was then linked to the US dollar prior to the revaluation. However, after the revaluation, it was linked to a basket of global currencies…I believe he is telling the citizens of Iraq that this also is what will occur to the IQD when it too revalu

What Is The Relationship Between The Population Census And The National Development Plan? Al-Sudani’s Advisor Explains
Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Thursday, that the National Development Plan 2024-2028 is in dire need of the results produced by the 2024 General Population and Housing Census.
Saleh said: “The population census is the cornerstone of achieving a fair distribution of resources among different populations. It gives decision-makers a comprehensive view of population needs and helps them reduce disparities between different groups and regions. By using its results correctly, and through it, census data, balanced development and greater social justice can be achieved.”
He added that "the population census enables the government and its planning apparatus to build economic policies that take into account the geographical and population distribution, which enhances the fair use of national resources such as energy, water, and others."
Saleh added that “the census helps to reveal deprived areas or areas that suffer from a lack of government investment, which supports directing policies towards reducing the development gap between urban and rural areas. Thanks to the information derived from the census, targeted social support programs can be designed precisely, such as distributing subsidies, providing social care services, or building housing projects for low-income groups, etc.”
He stated that "the census results highlight the population groups that suffer from poverty and unemployment, or lack of basic services such as health, education and necessary infrastructure, which allows the government to direct support and resources to these groups directly,"
noting that "census data is used as a basic tool for the state and the relevant planning institutions to direct policies and resources in a way that achieves social and developmental justice at the same time, and that the National Development Plan 2024-2028 is in dire need of reviewing its path in terms of development justice and resource distribution according to the results produced by the comprehensive population census." 178 views 11/21/2024 - https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=50072
Iraq's Fuel Oil Exports Set To Hit Record Annual High
Buratha News Agency552024-11-20 Iraq's fuel oil exports are set to hit an all-time annual high this year after the country boosted shipments in October amid falling domestic demand even as production increased, sources and shipping data said, Reuters reported.
The increase in fuel oil exports will support the oil revenues of OPEC's second-largest producer despite stagnant crude shipments this year due to production curbs put in place by the OPEC+ alliance, which includes OPEC and other allies.
Increased Iraqi exports are also expected to contribute to increased global supply and reduce rising prices in Asia while reducing raw material costs in refineries.
Iraq's fuel oil exports are expected to exceed 18 million metric tons (380,000 barrels per day) in 2024, a record annual volume, surpassing last year's record of more than 14 million tons, according to calculations based on data from Kepler and the London Stock Exchange Group.
Exports topped 2.15 million metric tons in October, the highest monthly level on record, according to Kepler and the London Stock Exchange Group. https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/452904
Prime Minister's Advisor: National Development Plans Depend On Census Results
Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The Prime Minister's Financial Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the population census data will direct government investments to improve infrastructure and services, while indicating that national development plans will depend on the census results.
The Prime Minister's Advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, said in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency, which was followed by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "the population census represents a basic strategic tool for achieving sustainable economic growth in Iraq."
He stressed that "the data resulting from this census will contribute to improving government administration, enhancing governance levels, as well as supporting investment and increasing the efficiency of resource use to achieve comprehensive economic development."
Saleh pointed out that “the comprehensive population census provides many essential axes that contribute to achieving these goals, the most prominent of which are:
1. The census helps identify areas that suffer from a lack of services and infrastructure, which directs government investments to improve these sectors, as these investments include water services, roads, electricity, schools, hospitals, and banks.
2. The census provides a detailed database for drawing up effective housing policies.
3. Through detailed data on the workforce, the government can develop policies to support employment, train workers, and stimulate productive sectors to serve the national economy.
4. The comprehensive population census allows for the collection of accurate information on the population size, its geographical distribution, age groups, and educational level, in addition to its contribution to helping the government and the private sector plan better, and determine economic priorities and optimal policies within national development plans, especially the 2024-2028 development plan. 195 views 11/20/2024 - https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=50037

CFTC ADVISORY SUBCOMMITTEE RECOMMENDS TOKENIZED COLLATERAL WITH NO RULE CHANGES NEEDED
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has a Global Markets Advisory Committee (GMAC) made up of industry participants. Today the subcommittee on digital assets voted in favor (27-0) of three recommendations to adopt DLT and tokenized assets as collateral for margin.
The proposals would need to be adopted by the full GMAC Committee and it’s up to the CFTC to decide whether it proceeds.
The problem addressed by tokenized collateral
Stepping back, the CFTC is the primary regulator for derivatives markets. Typically derivatives require the posting of margin to cover the risk of price swings. Initial margin is provided at the outset, with variation margin during the lifetime of the derivative.
Non cash collateral is already allowed by the CFTC but is not used much for variation margin, because moving assets involves multiple intermediaries and hence delays. Plus, assets can only be transferred during office opening hours.
By contrast, tokenized assets are directly transferrable 24/7. The ability to quickly transfer tokenized assets for use as variation margin reduces counterparty and other risks. Plus, it saves money by removing the need to liquidate assets to meet margin calls.
During market panics, the need to post additional cash margin often requires selling collateral that increases market volatility.
Collateral mobility is one of the killer apps for tokenization. Beyond the CFTC and derivatives, there are already significant industry initiatives targeting collateral mobility, including HQLAᵡ, JP Morgan’s Tokenized Collateral Network, and Broadridge’s DLR which supports repo and Treasury tokenization.
The Digital Asset subcommittee proposals
The GMAC Digital Assets Markets subcommittee believes that tokenized assets could be used for margin without the need for regulatory changes. Likewise the use of DLT as books and records (without tokenization), should also not require new legislation.
Given non cash collateral is already eligible for margin, it also doesn’t require changes in eligibility rules. Committee members also concluded that existing policies and procedures for managing risks should be sufficient to support DLT.
The assets they had in mind as collateral would be World Bank bonds, government securities, corporate debt, money market funds and gold. Current CFTC criteria for non cash collateral is that the assets are liquid, hold value and lack correlation to counterparty or portfolio risks.
The Global Head of DTCC Digital Assets, Nadine Chakar, commented that “This is an opportunity for us to be able to increase the velocity of collateral in the marketplace without any changes to rules and guidance.”
DRW has been operating a significant digital asset business for years. DRW’s Chris Zuehlke said it has seen the benefits of the ability to move assets in real time 24/7 in practice. He said the company has a different view on risk where there’s a bank wire involved versus real time settlement with a DLT-based asset.
“We often times feel much more confident in our risk management processes when we know we can have a 24/7 real time settlement capability with these counterparties,” said Mr Zuehlke.
“I think that will transfer very directly to the collateral management side for derivatives based businesses under the CFTC’s purview. And I’m really excited to see that evolution take place.”
The risk of not proceeding
Christopher Perkins from Coinfund is another subcommittee member strongly in favor. He spent a large part of his career at Citi, latterly as Global Co-Head, Futures, Clearing and FX Prime Brokerage.
There’s been much criticism about a lack of technology neutrality with DLT, with extra hurdles often put in place. He argued for the reverse: that market participants should be incentivized to move to tokenized collateral.
He considers the level of ongoing Herstatt risk in the marketplace as too high. “The risk here is being able to tolerate the very inefficient settlement processes today,” said Mr Perkins. “We’re living in a world now where it takes days to settle Yen. Completely unacceptable.” He advocated for using stablecoins for variation margin.
The potential figures involved are massive. Exchange traded derivatives are small fry compared to over the counter (OTC). Global exchange traded derivatives have a notional open interest of $88 trillion versus $742 trillion for OTC. To put that in context, global stock markets total $124 trillion.
Even if the full GMAC committee proposes to advance the recommendation, the CFTC might be slow to adopt. During today’s meeting, Commissioner Pham noted that the CFTC has not yet implemented a recommendation from November 2023. That one aimed to harmonize rules relating to money market funds as eligible collateral.

China Sell 44% of US Treasury, will US Economy Collapse?
China Sell 44% of US Treasury, will US Economy Collapse?
Fastepo: 11-20-2024
Recently, news broke that China has sold approximately 44% of its holdings in US Treasury securities, sending ripples through financial markets and sparking a wave of speculation. For years, China has been one of the largest holders of US debt, with its purchases often seen as a sign of confidence in the US economy.
The sudden divestment raises questions about potential impacts on the US economy as well as the broader geopolitical implications. Let’s explore what this development means and whether it could lead to a collapse of the US economy.
China Sell 44% of US Treasury, will US Economy Collapse?
Fastepo: 11-20-2024
Recently, news broke that China has sold approximately 44% of its holdings in US Treasury securities, sending ripples through financial markets and sparking a wave of speculation. For years, China has been one of the largest holders of US debt, with its purchases often seen as a sign of confidence in the US economy.
The sudden divestment raises questions about potential impacts on the US economy as well as the broader geopolitical implications. Let’s explore what this development means and whether it could lead to a collapse of the US economy.
Before diving into the implications of China’s actions, it’s important to understand what US Treasury securities are. These are government bonds issued by the US Department of the Treasury to finance government spending. They are considered one of the safest investments due to the stability and creditworthiness of the US government. Investors, including foreign countries like China, purchase these securities as a way to earn interest while also holding assets perceived as low-risk.
While the sale of US Treasuries may sound alarming, declaring that the US economy will collapse is an overstatement. Here are several factors to consider:
When a major holder like China sells a significant portion of its Treasuries, it can lead to an increase in interest rates. Higher interest rates could make borrowing more expensive for consumers and businesses, possibly slowing down economic growth. However, the US economy is more resilient than ever, with a diverse financial market that allows for adjustments.
The US Treasury market is highly liquid and extends beyond foreign governments. American investors, pension funds, and other international buyers can step in to absorb any sell-off. The US dollar remains the world’s dominant reserve currency, and demand for safe assets is unlikely to evaporate entirely, even with China’s reduced involvement.
Economic interdependence means that both the US and China are invested in a stable global economy. A drastic destabilization of the US economy would have severe repercussions for economies worldwide, including China’s. This mutual reliance can lead to more cautious strategies from major global players.
Investor sentiment is also influenced by geopolitical events. While China’s sale of Treasuries may cause short-term market volatility, savvy investors often look long-term. Positive economic fundamentals in the US, including low unemployment rates and continued innovation, can maintain investor confidence.
In conclusion, while China’s sale of 44% of US Treasury securities raises valid concerns about potential economic impacts, it is not an automatic precursor to a collapse of the US economy. The interconnectedness of the global economy provides a buffer against such drastic scenarios.
It will be critical to monitor how this situation unfolds and to consider the broader economic and geopolitical landscape. The resilience of the US economy, combined with its ability to adapt and innovate, suggests it is far from facing imminent collapse due to changes in foreign holdings.

Tishwash: Al-Ghais: Oil and gas are God’s gift and the world must invest in energy sources without exception
The Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Haitham Al-Ghais, stressed on Wednesday that the world must adopt all energy sources without exception.
Al-Ghais said at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) that crude oil and natural gas are “a gift from God,” and that talks on limiting global warming should focus on reducing emissions, not choosing energy sources.
His comments were in line with the opening speech of Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, who responded to Western criticism of his country's oil and gas industry, also describing these resources as a "gift from God."
"They are actually a gift from God," Al-Ghais, a veteran Kuwaiti oil executive, said in a speech at the conference hosted by Baku, Azerbaijan.
“These resources affect how food is produced, packaged and transported, how medical research is conducted and how medical supplies are manufactured and distributed. I could go on and on with an endless number of examples,” he added.
He pointed out that the world's governments, which set a ceiling for the rise in global temperature during the Paris summit in 2015 of no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to the pre-industrial revolution level, can achieve their climate goals without shifting away from oil.
Al-Ghais continued, "The Paris Agreement focuses on reducing emissions, not on choosing energy sources."
OPEC said technologies such as carbon capture could address the climate change impacts of burning fossil fuels link

Qusay said in an interview with Al-Maalouma Agency, “There are speculators and local mafias trying to obstruct economic organization and thwart the government's attempt to control the state's resources.”
He added, "The government can strike these mafias with the force of law by directing the supervisory and security agencies against the violators and their continued presence under multiple fronts."
He pointed out that "there are those who manipulate the local dollar markets, and the regulatory bodies must be able to control the big heads that benefit from the continued economic chaos, not the arms."link

Member: Good Morning and RV there yet??? Lol
Member: Happy Thursday morning to everyone in the chat room
Member: The Mayflower landed upon our Continent 400 Years ago today!!!
Member: I wonder -What is it gonna take to get this RV?
Member: Maybe after the Iraq census is finished???
MZ: We do expect the census to be wrapped up this evening as far as the in-person counting…and then a day or two for them to have the very accurate census figures. Those final figures will be done very quickly.
MZ: “Human Rights center foresees : The population census will increase the number of seats in Parliament to about 430” Their laws say they are supposed to have a representative per 100,000 people. Their population is growing and people are also returning to Iraq. Its neat seeing this process paly out. Iraq has a republic like we have in the US.
MZ: Here is an important one…..“IMF Arab country confirms its commitment to a flexible exchange rate rate” they are talking about Egypt- not Iraq. But a flexible exchange rate that can grow or shrink based on the economy .
MZ: Why is this one important? Iraq has said it wants to go to a free floating currency based on a basket of goods…Gold, Oil, Actual assets…and a basket of Middle Eastern currencies. One of the currencies in that basket is the Egyption Pound.
MZ: On the bond side- I have a number of contacts expecting dollars by the end of the day TODAY. I hope they are accurate. My biggest holder however is saying “Not yet but we are extremely close” that contact still believes we will have a fantastic Thanksgiving this year…and he is one of the top bond facilitators in the world.
Member: Those poor bond holders have been cried “Wolf” to more often than we currency holders.
Member: plz discuss the plus and minuses of holding currency in a bank safety deposit box
MZ: The US government in the past has shown its ability and willingness to invade your privacy and personal property rights. And take “security boxes”. It has done this a number of times. Ask yourself if you are willing to risk it or not?
Member: EBS has been going off in Michigan for 3 days now saying it is a test
Member: Here in Naples, Fl. have been getting EBS for specific counties. I had never seen that before.
Member: Yes, the EBS system went off yesterday at around 11 AM it hit all of our phones at once scared the crap out of us
Member: Who will our notifications for exchanges come from?
Member: You will be notified by Mark or Dinar Recaps. I do not expect an email.
Member: Also TNT, Frank, Bruce, and all the dinar sites will be letting us know. We will not miss it.
Member: Honestly if this doesn’t go by the end of the year- I’m going to put the currency on the shelf and step away
Member: We may be waiting for after the first of the year or the inauguration on Jan 20th. Hang in there.
Member: And Sudani is hoping to have monetary reform in Iraq finished by Dec 10th…..allegedly. also Auctions ending in Iraq by the end of the year……they would need a new rate on the dinar if that happens.
Member: Are you expecting something big tomorrow Mark?
MZ: No- but I am expecting something big very soon. A number of sources are expecting something big tomorrow. We will see.
Member: Bought a new suit 5 years ago round Thangsgiving as we were pretty sure we were going then ! Still in the suit bag,
Member: Maybe its time to wash and press the “go to the bank” clothes again?
Member: Blessings and let's pray this is our week!!
Member: Everyone have a great day today.

BEWARE: Lost Life Savings After Suspected Debit Card Scam
BEWARE: Lost Life Savings After Suspected Debit Card Scam
Danielle Antosz Tue, November 19, 2024 Moneywise
This Long Island man lost his life savings after suspected debit card scam — and got no reimbursement. Here’s why
While running errands in New York last year, Grant Holihan of Long Island received a call from Chase Bank asking him to confirm a recent purchase in Las Vegas. But Holihan, 27, claimed to have never been to Las Vegas. He suspected his debit account and PIN were skimmed at an ATM near his construction job site.
BEWARE: Lost Life Savings After Suspected Debit Card Scam

This Long Island man lost his life savings after suspected debit card scam — and got no reimbursement. Here’s why
While running errands in New York last year, Grant Holihan of Long Island received a call from Chase Bank asking him to confirm a recent purchase in Las Vegas. But Holihan, 27, claimed to have never been to Las Vegas. He suspected his debit account and PIN were skimmed at an ATM near his construction job site.
According to Holihan, Chase agreed to close the account — but then more charges followed. In just under an hour, more than $7,000 was drained from his bank account in separate transactions on the other side of the country. Ultimately, his entire life savings was stolen in less than a day.
Now, Holihan says Chase is still refusing to refund his money.
“I’ve never given my PIN out," Holihan told CBS New York. “They still deny my claim, and it's been over a year later, and I still haven't seen my money."
With no resolution in sight, it’s important to understand how this was able to happen and what can be done to avoid a similar financial loss.
How Does Debit Skimming Work?
In debit card skimming, fraudsters secretly install devices on ATMs or payment terminals to steal card details and PIN information. The skimmers capture data while a hidden camera or keypad overlay records the user’s PIN. In most cases, these devices are difficult for people to see because they look like legitimate card readers.
Holihan suspects that is exactly what happened to him.
"This customer's claim was denied because the charges were authorized with their PIN and verified via phone call," JPMorganChase told CBS News New York.
Unlike credit card skimming, where thieves steal credit card numbers, debit card fraud doesn't fall under the Truth in Lending Act, which offers more consumer protections. While speaking with CBS reporter Elle McLogan, National Consumer Law Center senior attorney Carla Sanchez-Adams shared how that impacts consumers.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
BRICS COUNTRIES GAIN INFLUENCE OVER G20
The G20 summit is ongoing in Brazil’s Rio and all the five BRICS countries are a part of the bloc. The world leaders are discussing trade deals and renewing policies at the summit. US President Joe Biden attended the summit but missed out on the photo op on Tuesday.
However, the world leaders retook the photo op placing Biden at the center and standing next to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his left and Canada’s Justin Trudeau to his right.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
BRICS COUNTRIES GAIN INFLUENCE OVER G20
The G20 summit is ongoing in Brazil’s Rio and all the five BRICS countries are a part of the bloc. The world leaders are discussing trade deals and renewing policies at the summit. US President Joe Biden attended the summit but missed out on the photo op on Tuesday.
However, the world leaders retook the photo op placing Biden at the center and standing next to India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi to his left and Canada’s Justin Trudeau to his right.
BRICS Influence in G20 Grows
The BRICS countries are having a bigger role in the G20 summit dominating the news cycle and photo ops. The show of unity was on full display making the leaders of Western countries seem like background noise. The show of unity was met with a starkly farcical smile by Biden as leaders clapped and held hands.
“The BRICS countries as a whole are gaining in their role and influence in the G20. This was evident both in Delhi at last year’s summit and in the year before in Indonesia. And here (Rio de Janeiro) it was especially clear,” said Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a press conference.
During the previous G20 summits, BRICS countries rarely hit the news cycles but the 2024 event has turned things around. The bloc is displaying strength through unions and other trade deals indicating their economy can sustain without the West. The alliance recently sent invitations to 13 new nations to join as ‘Partner countries’
Indonesia accepted the invitation to join BRICS as a ‘Partner countries’ while the G20 summit was ongoing. Indonesian Ambassador to Russia, Jose Antonio Morato Tavares said that Indonesia “will actively contribute to and participate in any initiatives of BRICS. This is a positive development. Now, we are already a BRICS partner state,” he said.

MALAYSIA EXPLORING WHOLESALE CBDC
Two years ago Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) outlined its plans for central bank digital currency (CBDC). At the time it intended to explore wholesale CBDC (wCBDC) in the short term and a general purpose retail CBDC this year.
However, during a digital payments event yesterday it disclosed that the emphasis is solely on wholesale CBDC. It believes retail payments are already well served by existing systems.
Currently it is building expertise, performing preparatory work and getting to grips with the technology.
“If we were to issue wholesale CBDC in the future, we would know what it takes and what policy implications we need to bear in mind,” the central bank said, as reported by the Sun Malaysia.
The central bank envisages a wholesale CBDc as supporting interbank settlement for tokenized deposits both domestically and for cross border payments. International payments have been of interest for some time.
BNM was a participant in Singapore’s multi-CBDC Project Dunbar, and is an observer of mBridge, the cross border CBDC project that is currently at the minimum viable product stage. Active mBridge participants include the central banks of China, Hong Kong, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and the UAE.
Despite its preparations, the central bank has no immediate plans to issue one. It will continue working on wCBDC and DLT during 2024-25. Several Asian economies are currently exploring a wholesale CBDC to support tokenized deposits. They include the central banks of Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.
Ledger Insights recently released a report exploring tokenized deposits and bank stablecoins, highlighting more than 70 initiatives.

Wed. 20 Nov. 2024 The EBS …Fulford on Telegram
The Earth Alliance, Star Link, and military are ready to execute the final phase. The old world is crumbling, and a new era of freedom is beginning. For years, the Earth Alliance has been preparing, quietly building a secure network of satellites that will make this possible.
The EBS alert will be activated globally but in phases. Depending on your location, you might get it slightly earlier or later, but make no mistake—it’s coming. The phased rollout will prevent the Deepstate from reacting and catch them off-guard. By the time the signal hits every device, the Earth Alliance will have moved to the next stage.
The EBS broadcast could (but not necessarily) last up to 10 days, depending on ground conditions. During this time, there will be no internet, no social media, no TV, no mainstream news. Stock up on food, water, and supplies—you won’t be able to access stores or services during this period.
The Deepstate’s financial institutions will collapse. The Quantum Financial System (QFS) will replace the corrupt system, marking the greatest wealth transfer in history. Banks, stock markets, and fiat currencies will be obliterated, replaced by a fair system that serves the people.
