Government Confirms That The Iraqi Economic Path Is Moving In The Right Development Direction

 01/15/2025   Mawazine News – Economy  The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Wednesday that the economic path in Iraq is moving correctly towards development for the coming years, noting that economic growth in 2024 is an incentive to expand economic activities in the country.

Salih said in a statement to the official agency, "There is a principle in economics called the economic accelerator, which means that the growth in non-oil GDP, which reached 6% in 2024, will be positively reflected in the strength of national investment in 2025."

He added that "the Iraqi economy will witness a high investment boom in 2025 thanks to the economic accelerator factor in the investment field, in addition to the high positive growth effects of national income in 2024.

" Salih pointed out that "business companies and investors are affected by the results of the basic idea behind the economic accelerator, which indicates that any increase in demand for goods and services as a result of the growth of national income in 2024 can lead to an increase in investment in capital such as machinery, equipment and labor in 2025."

He continued, “Businesses and companies need to expand their production capacity to meet the growing demand for goods and services, which will lead to a positive accumulation in the national economy’s production capacity in 2025,” stressing that this can be expected positively, especially if accompanied by a good agricultural season and a wet year in the coming months.

In conclusion, the Prime Minister’s Advisor indicated that “Iraq’s economic path is moving in the right development direction for the coming years, thanks to the ongoing cooperation between the private and public sectors.”  https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=258626

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Evening 1-15-25

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

DAVOS TO WELCOME TRUMP VIRTUALLY AS WORLD LEADERS AWAIT NEW US PRESIDENT'S POLICIES

▪️Trump to join Davos meeting digitally, organisers say
▪️60 heads of state and government due to attend WEF meeting
▪️Ukraine's Zelenskiy to make address, take questions -WEF
▪️Middle East tensions, climate crisis also on the agenda

LONDON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Donald Trump will mark his return to the global stage with a virtual World Economic Forum appearance in Davos next week, as world leaders await details of the incoming U.S. President's policies and his pledge to end the war in Ukraine.

Trump is due to return to the White House on Jan. 20, with his inauguration for a second term as U.S. President coinciding with the start of the 55th annual WEF meeting of political and business leaders in the Swiss mountain resort.

Brende said Trump, who has twice previously attended Davos, will join "digitally" on Jan. 23, without giving further details. He said it would be a "very special moment" to learn about the new Trump administration's policy priorities.

"There is a lot of interest to decipher and to understand the policies of the new administration, so it will be an interesting week," Brende said.

Topics on the Davos agenda range from mounting global geopolitical and economic uncertainty to trade tensions, climate goals and how AI can help make lives better.

Business leaders have become more optimistic about the economy given Trump's pledges to reduce regulation, potentially cut taxes and ease restrictions on activities including mergers and acquisitions, Rich Lesser, global chair of Boston Consulting Group, told Reuters ahead of the meeting.

Lesser said, however, that underlying optimism is being offset by concerns about tariffs, deportations, a widening budget deficit and the U.S. relationship with China.

MIDDLE EAST

This year's meeting in Davos is taking place against "the most complicated geopolitical backdrop in generations," Brende said, adding that the forum will have a strong focus on Middle East geopolitics, including high-level diplomatic talks.

Delegates will discuss developments in Syria and the humanitarian crises in Gaza and Yemen alongside other topics.

Participants will include Qatar's Prime Minister, the Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister, Syria's foreign minister, the U.N. special envoy on Syria, the Iranian Vice President, Israel's President and the Palestinian Prime Minister.

"There will be hard work at the situation in Syria, the terrible humanitarian situation in Gaza ... the potential escalation of the conflict in the Middle East. We were very close to it between Israel and Iran, and I don't think we're out of the woods yet," Brende said.

CLIMATE

The WEF will this week release an analysis looking at companies that account for two-thirds of global market capitalisation, which will show that only about 10% are taking meaningful and tangible action on the climate and nature agenda.

Business and political leaders gathering in Davos from Jan. 20 to Jan. 24 are also due to discuss how to ensure energy remains affordable, secure and green and the challenges preventing acceleration of efforts towards energy transition.

"We’re in a really challenging moment for climate, where countries are asking if other nations are doing their share," said Boston Consulting Group's Lesser.

TIM SCOTT ANNOUNCES BANKING COMMITTEE PRIORITIES FOR 119TH CONGRESS

In a latest development, Chairman Tim Scott has announced the legislative and oversight priorities for the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs for the 119th Congress. Scott aims to focus on increasing financial inclusion and advancing opportunities for Americans nationwide.

“My goal for this Congress is simple: make America work for Americans. Over the last two years, we’ve led comprehensive solutions to serious challenges Americans face—from addressing our failed federal housing policies to increasing access to capital to bolstering our economic national security—and we can build on this success,” Scott remarked.

Scott expressed his eagerness to collaborate with the Trump administration and committee colleagues in the 119th Congress to reach consensus and develop solutions that enhance financial inclusion and create opportunities nationwide. “The American people gave Congress a mandate – let’s get to work,” Scott added.

Top Priorities For The Banking Committee

Chairman Tim Scott’s priorities for the Banking Committee in the 119th Congress include:

Promoting Financial Inclusion, Affordable Housing: Scott aims to make financial services more accessible, reduce burdensome regulations, and ensure consumers have the tools to make informed decisions. He also plans to address high housing costs by reducing overregulation and advocating for targeted reforms to support families.

The committee will focus on policies that expand capital access for small businesses and entrepreneurs across the country, not just in large cities. The committee will work on creating a clear regulatory framework for cryptocurrency and digital assets to encourage innovation and protect consumers.

Scott will prioritize strengthening U.S. national security through sanctions, export controls, and countering threats from adversaries like Iran and China. The committee will also support state-based regulation of insurance and protect consumers, especially in flood-prone areas.

Besides, Scott plans to cut bureaucratic red tape to allow local communities to drive infrastructure projects. The committee will also hold federal agencies accountable for policies that hurt businesses and individuals and ensure transparency in government agencies.

In all, Chairman Scott will focus on creating opportunities for Americans while pushing back against policies that limit economic growth.

Tishwash:  Advisor to the Prime Minister: Iraq is witnessing an expected investment boom in 2025

Amina Al-Salami

 Advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed today, Wednesday, that the Iraqi economic path is moving in the right development direction for the coming years, while indicating that economic growth in 2024 constitutes an incentive to expand economic activities in Iraq.

Saleh said, in a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "There is a principle in the economy called the economic accelerator, which means that the growth in the non-oil GDP, which reached 6% in 2024, will be positively reflected in the strength of national investment in 2025."

He added, "The Iraqi economy will witness a high investment boom in 2025 thanks to the economic accelerator factor in the investment field, in addition to the high positive growth effects of national income in 2024."

He pointed out that "businesses and investors are affected by the results of the basic idea behind the economic accelerator, which indicates that any increase in demand for goods and services as a result of national income growth in 2024 could lead to increased investment in capital such as machinery, equipment and labor in 2025."

He added, "Iraq's economic path is moving in the right development direction for the coming years in a remarkable and positive way, thanks to the cooperation of the private and public sectors together." link

Tishwash:  Al-Hashemi criticizes Al-Sudani's visit... Our money saves Britain's collapsing economy!

Economist Ziad Al-Hashemi presented a pessimistic view of the Iraqi Prime Minister's visit to Britain, considering that it came at a time when the British economy is suffering from stifling crises that may force his government to resort to borrowing from the International Monetary Fund.

Al-Hashemi stated in a post on the (X) platform that “the British economy is going through its worst phase in decades, with a financial deficit of nearly $100 billion, weak economic growth, high inflation rates, capital flight, and weak investment.”

He pointed out that "the contracts signed by Iraq with the British side during this visit will inject huge Iraqi funds into the British economy, which is a boost to a weak economy suffering from deterioration."

Al-Hashemi asked: “Did the Iraqi Prime Minister have a complete understanding of the weakness of the British economy? Was this situation exploited to achieve additional security and geopolitical gains for Iraq before signing the contracts? Or did the historic opportunity pass without being exploited?”

He concluded by saying, “Negotiation is an art that requires people who have a complete vision and understanding of the circumstances of the other party, in order to exploit them in a way that achieves the greatest possible interests for Iraq.”  link

Militia Man  One of the last things they do...before they go international, is to have their banks restructured or really close to being completed.  That's their focus...That's part of the process and we're seeing that...It surely looks really powerful.

Frank26   Article:  "House of Representative completes the second reading of the draft amendment to the budget law."  Is that the second reading to the budget?  It's actually the 2nd reading to a draft of the amendment of the budget...They didn't read the whole budget.  They only read the part they amended, [read] for the second time...That law IMO is all that's needed.  You don't have to read it, 15 days later it become law.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-14-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 1-14-25 

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody the big call tonight, Tuesday, January 14th and you're listening to the Big Call. Thanks everybody for tuning in yet again - thank you Sat team for getting the call out to so many people and so many nations across the globe.

All right, I guess I gotta get my thinking cap on and see how we can bring out things that we need to know right now. I’ve got several things I’m going to put  in some form or fashion in an order, which will help to create a timeline for us. I always like to see time lines  to see where we are, what's happening in the next few days, and where are we going, and how we're going to get there. And that's sort of what I'm going to try to paint this picture for you guys tonight.

Initially, we're going to say President Trump has given the  green light to our new, restored Republic treasury. Let's call it based at least temporarily in Reno Nevada  to activate  - was the word -  activate the new United States note, which we call the USN, or the currency we call the United States Treasury Note - the USTN- to activate that. And that instruction was given to occur between last night, which was Monday night, and Wednesday morning, which is tomorrow morning.

So we're looking at that activation of the USN, which is part of GESARA, along with all the other asset backed currencies in the world. And certainly it's a part of NESARA -  in terms of letting the people know, hey, we have a new asset backed dollar we don't have with the USD.

And so we should be getting excited about the possibility that what we've been looking for, which was I've been looking for, anyway, is an announcement about the USN, about, you know, the asset, asset backed dollar, that we have, and all of that as part NESARA and I think we're about to see that .

The other thing that we're seeing is that we're getting from a limited amount of sources now that some of these are are pay masters over the bond holders are getting sort of an order of which dominoes are falling. That's the first, second, third and fourth Domino.

And it appears in the first domino is the Is the bond holders getting their emails letting them know when they have access to funds, that first access to funds to be scheduled for either tomorrow or Thursday  for the bondholders,

The second domino they call platform trades. These are, these are zim platforms that certain people entered into  with up to five 100 T notes. This was in the past a few years back, and this was something that would be paying out over pretty much one year, 13 months, I think.

So that's really something that we're looking for to be the second domino to fall, and  third domino should be what we refer to as the admirals groups. And there are multiple groups under the admiral, and there might be more than one Admiral, by the way, we know of one in particular.

And then the fourth Domino is us  in tier 4b or the internet group.

Now,  our understanding from wells, Fargo's point of view is that tier four is this tier four? They don't distinguish between 4A and 4B I've done it in the past and continue to do it because people want to know, what about our group? What about the Internet Group, the largest group that is primarily listening to the big call and looking online for other information.

Well, I believe that tier four, A & B  or tier four, will go pretty much together -  this whole rollout, which we've used the term shotgun start is supposed to roll out over 48 hours. Now I think 48 hours basically starts when the USN is acknowledged --  activated --  and the theory is that it should happen by tomorrow morning – we don’t have a time for it -  but I'm going to say, if it is to happen by tomorrow, it would happen by noon tomorrow.  **

So there is, there is an order to things on the release of these – now  somewhere in the mix is the so called intermediaries, people like CMKX, adjudicated settlements, fines and penalties, farm claims, ranch claims, Native American claims, and there may be one or two others, but that's what I'm bringing up, is as what we're calling the intermediary groups.

Now those groups should be paid kind of when the bond holders are notified, I think that's also going to be triggered within the next 48 hours, but it may take longer  two days to pay all those. But I don't think it necessarily should --  I don't think it should, but we'll have to see. Keep an eye. We may not even hear about some of those unless you're in C M K X, you know, unless you're in a situation where, where you know your farm or ranch was taken from you, or whatever, and now they're going to make it to you. They're going to at least pay you for it, you know, we'll see what that looks like.

 I had understood our Native Americans were already compensated, but maybe they weren't, maybe not all of them. So it's hard to know everything about that. So there's the next couple of days of things - we should get, our notifications, I believe in the next day or two, we could get it  Wednesday. We could get it Thursday and start.

I'm sorry I don't have anything that takes me on Thursday in the way of what we're talking about with this RV with a blessing. Okay, so, I mean, we heard from CW, and he says his associates said, Well, we're still looking at Charlie Ward’s Thursday, and maybe we are, and maybe we get numbers tomorrow, and all we do is set appointments. We start on Thursday. That's possible. I hope we get numbers, set appointments to start tomorrow, but we'll have to see.

This is one of these I have to wait and see. And I hate that expression, but it is one that we have to sort of do right now.

Let's go beyond that. Let's talk about a couple of things. One, this really blew my mind, my new understanding as of yesterday was we're going to actually be offered an interest rate. This is my currency rate. This is a rate of interest that would be paid on our primary and secondary bank accounts.

This does not pay on out of a quantum account. It pays on the money that we move from the quantum account using our quantum card to get into our accounts and then move that into a primary - my case, Wells and secondary Wells accounts, and they're offering us 12% interest, annual, percentage yearly. That doesn't make any sense, but APY for five years? For the first five years, 12% per year? Why in the world would they offer and we don't have to negotiate that.

That's nothing that we have to negotiate like we thought we were gonna have to negotiate upwards of five to 10% Well, this is 12% and you know why? Because when we transition from the USD, the Fiat dollar, to the USN,  with the USD, basically on its way out, and we can still use what we have here, but with it on its way out, the banks will be broke. They need our funds in our accounts so that they can stabilize themselves and have the wherewithal for Basel III Basel IV compliance.

So I mean to get that type of interest rate on the amounts that we're talking about moving into our primary and secondary. And I say secondary, let's say we have a primary account, the main account that's under the name of the trust, and then we have accounts underneath that that are sub accounts, still under the protection of the trust. But let's say they're, in my case, using four LLC accounts, and so those accounts would be sub accounts to the primary, but all those accounts, as I understand it, sub and the primary account, will earn 12% interest for five years.

 I don't know if it's compounded daily. I don't know how often is compounded, but I think we can ask for the interest to be paid out to us monthly or quarterly, every three months, I'm going to go for quarterly for me – For me to see that number and deal with, okay, that's a number I have to give away, invest whatever I'm going to do With it, bless people. Is for rebuild America used for whatever, right? And I think it's a little easier than to try to keep up with monthly for me. So that's what I'm going to do, try to do.

The other thing is,  what else?  What about ???

Let's go with a timeline then, all right, so that has taken us all the way Thursday, with the potential start for our exchanges tomorrow and Thursday and then Friday. We go right on through-

 Saturday the 18th -

I know that there are a couple of events that are planned, and one of which is a private meeting in Northern Virginia for President Trump and his cabinet choices. That'll be a great little get together for them, they'll probably have a great time.

Also on Saturday the 18th, there is a  ballroom  inaugural ball that's going to be at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Capitol Hill, and that'll be probably, that's a big, big deal, big event. And I believe they have tickets for sale for that now, and there are three levels of participation. I'm not sure if the top level is full, I think it is.

But anyway, that's something that's  going to be great for people that are in DC area and they want to attend.  It, my understanding, I don't know this, of course, but my belief system is that President Trump make a cameo appearance at most of the inaugural balls that are, that are planned, and even though they talk about other locations and so on, there's nowhere that shows where they are or when they are, yet, it's kind of a 404, page not found  - one of  those deals.

So stay tuned for that, and it would be last minute. Sounds like last minute. Less people in the know already know about it. It's just not being advertised. That's very possible. So that's Saturday.

That Sunday. President Trump is supposed to make an appearance to the tune of the Unknown Soldier, and I don't know if that’s  Arlington National Cemetery  or somewhere else, but it's that's what he's supposed to do Sunday, and he has a maga rally, make America great rally at the capital Center in Washington, DC, for the caps play hockey, their home sheet of ice. And so that's that's going to be going on Sunday,

Monday, we have inauguration one put it as a swearing in, or he is sworn in on Monday the 20th. It's also Martin Luther King Day. Martin Luther King, Jr, and so believe it will be a bank holiday.

And so I think for that reason, the R and R, if we're moving into to Tuesday now on the 20th -  Help me out - the 21st should be of from the 21st 22nd 23rd 24th Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday should be when we are seeing and receiving our restitution reconciliation allowance.

 And I told you guys on two or three occasions how that's going to work out for ages that are 30 to 45 --45 to 60 and 60 and above. Get theirs as a lump sum – We’ll see how it'll shake out for everybody. But it should occur within that time frame. 21st 22nd 23rd 24th somewhere in there,

And there's discussion that we might have our increase in Social Security this month in January, but I don't know if it'll start tomorrow or the fourth Wednesday, which is the 22nd or whether it's not even going to happen this month or not.

I don't know until it will, but I can't say for sure that it will. And I know increase is what I'm talking about. Getting that increase amount has not happened in the first two Wednesdays for Social Security recipients, - So I'm not sure whether it's going to happen for anyone else this month or not.  Debt Forgiveness, Jubilee, all of that is part of NESARA, and we're just going to have to see --  

One thing that was brought to me today. Thank you, Trish for on I think it was truth social that President Trump talked about, not the Internal Revenue Service, but an external revenue service, and he talked  about receiving   monies from other countries around the world that are doing trade with the United States, getting trade tariffs and so on -  paid to us. And I tell you, he didn't say we see the end of the I S, but that is part of the NESARA.

We will have a flat tax - It's not called of value add tax, but they have in Europe, but it's called a consumption tax, and that tax would be approximately 15% and maybe 14 or 15% but that's in boarded meaning, contained in the price of new goods, new new products, not on used items, but only and not supposed to be on any pharmaceuticals.

And I'm not sure if it's going to be on food or not. In the grocery store, I do not think it's on food, but in restaurants, we could still pay a tax in the restaurants, I'm not sure about it, but that but  for us the not to have to pay income tax, federal income tax, or state income tax, and I'm not even I don't even know what property taxes will exist or not.

I've been told they won't, but we'll have to see how it all comes out. So the Fed is dead, the Federal Reserve's gone, the USA corporations dead. Forget that the new restored Republic of the United States, and President Trump will be sworn in as president of the restored Republic.

So there's your timeline starting tomorrow, starting last night to tomorrow morning for the USN to be activated. By the way, our accounts for now are mirrored with the QFS system. And essentially, when that occurs, all of our accounts will be in the QFs system, protected in there. I think we're just protected right now.

You realize that the US Treasury, and when I say that, I'm talking about the new treasury, just picked up $17 trillion dollars ?  Where did they get that money? You think certain people had tried to move funds in offshore accounts, and because QFS picked it up and now put those funds to the fees. Yep, that's a nice piece of change 17T

What about this so called national debt? What are they? Where is it? 35? 36 trillion?  something like that, and climbing. I'm being told it doesn't need to pay back -- fiat currency was incurred by United States Incorporated, which is defunct. I think that's just something that the media still has to try to work with, but it's not even a thing. It won't even be paid back. That's kind of cool. Let's see where else can we go?

I think that's really what I wanted to say about  intel – about our timeline. Remember, we've got the possibility of numbers coming out tomorrow or Thursday, and then exchanges starting either tomorrow or Thursday. Is what I'm getting  and telling you guys, what I'm hearing from the best sources that we have still available. Not every source is available. - These are

And then we've got the Fridays kind of a question mark. If we start exchanges tomorrow or Thursday, we'll go right on through the weekend. Not sure about Monday, because it is MLK Day and it's also, you know, the Inauguration Day will be a lot going on  - we’ll see , but I know this thing should go right on through.

Does President Trump have to be in as inaugurated as President for us to get the RV?  I've been told no, he does not have to be back in as president for this to happen. So we're pushing it closely. We're getting there, but let's see what happens in the next few days . Okay, that'll answer it for us. If we get numbers, the answer is no, we just push right on through set upon this and go

Med beds availability, if you're in dire need, if you're in hospice, if you're close to the pearly gates, yeah, you can get in really soon. I've been told as soon as day after the exchange

That's for dire need. And it doesn't hurt if you're a Zim holder, by the way, that's probably the biggest thing you can be, besides being dire need get in quickly.

Still by referral basis, you can have six referrals. Make sure people know that you're referring. Name, Phone, yeah, that's even better, you have all of those, and obviously put the top of your list number one would be your most dire need. If there's Zim holders that that's better for them, they're not just whatever.

Let's see if there's anything else. I think that's everything I needed to tell you guys.

Have a wonderful night let’s pray the call out

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Afternoon 1-15-25

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

THE SEC PLANS TO MOVE FAST ON CRYPTO POLICY OVERHAUL UPON TRUMP’S INAUGURATION

▪️The SEC is preparing to overhaul crypto policy under a new pro-industry chair, Paul Atkins, replacing Gary Gensler.

▪️Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda plan to clarify which cryptoassets are securities and reduce enforcement actions.

▪️Experts expect Congress and the White House to join the SEC in promoting innovation-friendly regulations.

Under Trump’s administration, the SEC is set to begin an overhaul of its crypto policy as soon as next week. Rumored first steps include reassessing which cryptoassets are securities and cooling off enforcement actions.

Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda both worked with incoming Chair Paul Atkins in the past and are actively planning to cooperate again as a pro-crypto majority.

The SEC’s Role in Crypto Policy

According to a report from Reuters, the SEC is ready to hit the ground running with radical changes to crypto policy. Less than a week remains until Donald Trump’s inauguration, and some experts anticipate a new rally.

New rumors of pro-crypto executive orders already juiced Bitcoin’s price, and Congressional industry allies are planning their own moves:

“Under Gensler, the SEC refused to provide clarity to the crypto industry. Moving forward, [we] will work to build a regulatory framework that… will promote consumer choice, education, and protection [and] foster an open-minded environment for new, innovative financial technologies and digital asset products,” claimed Senator Tim Scott.

In other words, the SEC is only one player in a broad coalition of crypto policy reform. To that end, the Commission is preparing for its Chair, Gary Gensler, to resign on Inauguration Day. A pro-industry replacement, Paul Atkins, has already been selected, but some of its sitting Commissioners are already planning their next moves.

Hester Pierce, who has long opposed SEC crypto crackdowns, and fellow pro-crypto Commissioner Mark Uyeda are weighing a few options to influence policy.

The pair both worked closely with Atkins in the past, and sources have claimed they plan to clarify which cryptoassets legally qualify as securities. They have yet to comment on other specific changes.

Trump’s SEC team is here to shake things up in crypto! Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda are taking a second look at the ongoing cases—some might even get frozen if no fraud’s involved. The big play? Boosting Bitcoin. Pompliano’s already throwing ideas like a national Bitcoin reserve and no capital gains tax on BTC payments,” wrote Mario Nawfal.

Crypto Lawsuits Are Likely to Slow Down

One strong possibility for a policy change is the SEC drastically reducing its crypto crackdowns. In his last days, Gensler has been recalcitrant about maintaining a fight with Ripple, even though his effort could soon fall apart.

After he leaves, the SEC may drop this and “dozens” of other enforcement actions. As BeInCrypto reported earlier, Trump is already expected to sign a pro-crypto executive order on his first day. The order will likely overturn controversial SAB 121, which restricts banks from holding crypto.

Although the courts may not approve of such a cool-down period, there is precedent. Shortly after Trump’s election, the US Attorney for the SDNY signaled that his office would scale back crypto prosecutions.

This district enforces many high-profile finance activities, including the Sam-Bankman Fried case, but it still openly plans to ease off.

In other words, the SEC has many avenues for impacting US crypto policy in short order. Pierce and Uyeda haven’t signaled any other immediate plans besides classifying assets’ security status and reviewing enforcement cases. However, they are closely considering the issue.

Between a friendly SEC, Congress, and President, sweeping changes will be easy to implement.

U.K.’S NEW ECONOMIC SECRETARY EMMA REYNOLDS TO OVERSEE CRYPTO

Emma Reynolds, former parliamentary secretary at the Treasury, has been appointed the new economic secretary.

Reynolds’s appointment follows the resignation of Tulip Siddiq, who stepped down in a letter to the Prime Minister. Siddiq, the member of parliament for Hampstead and Highgate, cited personal reasons for her departure.

The new economic secretary will play a key role in shaping the government’s crypto regulation agenda. In addition to digital assets, Reynolds will oversee the U.K.’s central bank digital currency plans.

Her appointment comes as the U.K. continues to push for greater regulatory compliance in the crypto sector. The government has pursued this approach over the past few years as part of its ambition to become a leading hub for digital assets innovation.

Market watchdogs, such as the Financial Conduct Authority, have adopted a more supportive stance toward the crypto industry in recent months, contrasting with the stricter approach taken by the U.S. under outgoing SEC Chair Gary Gensler.

The landscape has shifted since Donald Trump’s election, and industry players are optimistic about what the new SEC leadership could mean for the crypto ecosystem in the U.S. Trump will be inaugurated on Jan. 20.

As crypto.news highlighted, the SEC plans to move away from its “regulation by enforcement” strategy and freeze certain ongoing lawsuits that do not involve fraud.

While it remains to be seen how Reynolds will impact the U.K.’s crypto policies, the general sentiment is that the country aims to remain competitive amid growing global crypto adoption.

In December 2024, the European Union’s Markets in Crypto Assets (MICA) rules came into full effect, with industry players keen on leveraging the clarity MiCA offers to expand across the bloc.

The U.K.’s own legislation on cryptocurrencies and stablecoins is expected to be finalized in early 2025.

Clare: 21 Arab and foreign countries and 600 companies at Baghdad International Fair

1/14/2025 

The activities of the Baghdad International Fair in its (48) session will start on the first of next February, with the active participation of 21 Arab and foreign countries and 600 companies with different specializations.

The Director General of the Ministry’s Exhibitions and Commercial Services Company, Dr. Mustafa Nizar Jumaa Al-Ani, said in an interview with “Al-Sabah” followed by “Al-Eqtisad News” that the exhibition will continue for seven days, and will be held under the slogan (Investment, Development, Prosperity).

He pointed out that the Ministry prepared early to hold the exhibition in its (48) session, as 21 Arab and foreign countries will participate in it, in addition to 600 local and international companies, indicating that the Ministry is still receiving requests to participate in this version, which is being continuously monitored by the Minister of Commerce.

He explained that the exhibition will include the two largest pavilions for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Oman, as well as the golden sponsor of the exhibition, represented by the State of Qatar, in addition to preparing two large halls dedicated to national industries that witnessed a remarkable turnout by visitors during the past year.  

Al-Ani pointed out that the ministry provides support to national industries through the Export Fund, and urges local companies to develop exports and establish advanced factories that can meet local needs, especially after the government issued several decisions to support the national product by preventing the import of many materials provided by the industrial sector. 

He added that the exhibition will also witness the participation of government institutions, unions and private sector organizations, with an ambition to attract a large number of companies in the current session, in an effort to conclude contracts between the private and international sectors.

He added that the exhibition is an important economic gateway and a social oasis that attracts the public, in light of the major economic changes that the country is witnessing as part of the government program.

Al-Ani stated that the aim of holding the exhibition is to enhance cooperation between local and international companies and provide investment opportunities. It also represents a platform for communication between foreign companies and investors to exchange experiences and learn about the latest technologies in all sectors, stressing that all participating companies will display their production and will have a share in the Iraqi market and contribute to all governorates.  LINK

Clare: Parliament postpones its session due to political blocs boycotting the sessions

1/15/2025

The House of Representatives failed, on Wednesday, once again to hold its regular session due to the boycott of most political blocs of the sessions .

A parliamentary source told Shafaq News Agency, "Parliament postponed its session due to the lack of a legal quorum due to the boycott of some political blocs and their failure to enter the council hall, despite the session bell ringing."

Recently, political circles in Iraq have witnessed a sharp escalation in disputes over a number of vital laws that are stalled within the parliament, most notably the general amnesty law, the retirement law, and others, which has led to the stumbling of many parliamentary sessions .

Yesterday, Tuesday, the media department of the Iraqi Council of Representatives published the agenda of the Council’s session that was scheduled for today .

According to the session agenda that was received by Shafaq News Agency, it included voting and reading several draft laws, most notably the Intelligence Service Law, and reading the proposed law amending the Retirement Law .  LINK

Al-Sudani added, saying: “For the first time, we provided sovereign guarantees to the private sector to implement projects, and today we signed with (UKEF) what is related to this step.”

He pointed out that "the government's steps aim to create a national industrial base, and the presence of British companies with the private sector will create real opportunities," adding: "Iraq has a three-year budget (2023-2024-2025), and has allocated $100 billion for the investment budget for ministries and governorates."

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Late Tuesday Evening 1-14-25

From Challenges, Iraqis Create Opportunities

Samir Al-Nusairi   These days, some media outlets and social networking sites have  been active saying that Iraq is suffering from a financial crisis and a large deficit in securing salaries for employees, retirees, and social care.
 
What is strange is that some representatives support this and others deny it, and that the
 
two representatives are in one committee called the Parliamentary Finance Committee, while the
government, especially the Ministry of Finance, confirmed that salaries Fully insured.

So, it is clear that political tensions, conflicts of interest, and the lack of a sound and accurate economic vision make the people look ambiguously at what some media figures, non-specialized analysts, and some parliamentarians are saying, which confuses the government’s plans to implement its governmental approach, especially with regard to economic, financial, and banking reform.
 
Based on our closeness to the daily follow-up of the reality and possibilities of our national economy, the Central Bank’s procedures to implement its plan for the year 2025, and the daily and joint cooperation and coordination with the Ministry of Finance,
 
we can reassure citizens, transparently and with high accuracy, that the indicators and data revealed by the Central Bank, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Planning, the World Bank, and the International Monetary Fund for the year 2024 indicate that The
 
reform of the Iraqi economy is proceeding according to what was planned in the field of
 
     monetary policy,
     financial policy,
     investment,
     sustainable development,
     services, the
     shift from the cash economy to the digital economy, and
 
work is escalating in the field of
 
     activation and
     diversification.
     Sources of national income and the
     revolutionization of economic sectors other than oil.
 
As business results in 2024 indicated that the inflation rate in Iraq  
     is the lowest among most Arab, regional and neighboring countries and
     does not exceed 3.7%, and that the

     Central Bank’s foreign cash and gold reserves are the highest in years, and that the  
     liquidity in local currency at the Central Bank currently covers to meet the Ministry of Finance’s need for the specified operational allocations.

In the general general budget of the state, the
 
important thing is the continuation of daily revenues of Iraqi oil at the established export rates. So, the
 
Iraqi economy is moving from fragility to recovery, and this also confirms that

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

BRICS NEWS: INDONESIA WANTS RUSSIAN OIL DEAL, IS UNAFRAID OF TRUMP WARNING

With the ongoing geopolitical concerns waging between the global south and the west, the plot has certainly thickened. Indeed, the BRICS expansion nation, Indonesia, has recently stated it wants to buy Russian oil while stating it remains unafraid of Western retaliation or the ongoing tariff warning from US President-elect Donald Trump.

Since Trump emerged victorious in the 2024 presidential election, he has issued a stark threat to the economic alliance specifically. Although focused on de-dollarization, oil bought from Russia would only further its local currency promotion policies. Therefore, it could be subject to the same consequence from the West. The question is, does it matter to nations now joining the group?

Indonesia Eyes Increased BRICS Trade as They Remain Willing to Pay ‘Geopolitical Costs’

For the last two years, the BRICS alliance has been the subject of interest for a number of nations. With the bloc championing economic equality on a global scale, it has sought to challenge the dollar. Now, that pursuit has elicited a harrowing response from the incoming US President. Yet, that has not deterred one of its most recent expansion countries.

The newest BRICS country, Indonesia, is reportedly seeking to buy Russian oil, while also noting they remain undeterred by Trump’s 100% tariff threat. Moreover, they have discussed increased exports to both China and India, with eyes on solidifying its place in the collective.

Indonesia’s Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources, Bahlil Lahadalia, recently said, “An opportunity to acquire oil from Russia emerged after we joined BRICS.” He noted that the opportunity would be one they accept.

“As long as it complies with regulations and presents no issues, why not?” Minster Lahadalia added. His sentiments were similar to Indonesia’s National Economic Council Chair, Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan.

“As long as it benefits the Republic of Indonesia, we are open to discussing it. If this step allows us to purchase oil at US$20 or US$22 cheaper, why not?” he added. This drove some concerns over Western retaliation. Yet Trade Minister Zulkifil Hasan answered those, noting that the country would not operate its trade dealings out of fear.

“Why don’t we want to [buy Russian oil]? We’re afraid? There’s no room for being afraid in trade. How can one conduct trade if one is afraid?” However, international relations and Indonesian politics expert, Ahmad Risky Umar, notes that “there is likely to be geopolitical costs.” Moreover, the country president, Pabowo Subianto, is said to be aware of and prepared to navigate them.

ELON MUSK FIRES BACK AT ‘BROKEN’ SEC AMID $150M X LAWSUIT

▪️SEC sued Elon Musk for delaying disclosure of his X share acquisitions in 2022.

▪️Musk criticized the SEC as the community backed him.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has sued Elon Musk. They accuse him of failing to disclose his large Twitter share acquisition on time in early 2022.

The SEC alleges this delay allowed Musk to secure his stake at an artificially reduced price, saving $150 million.

The late disclosure also affected other investors. They missed the chance to sell their shares at potentially higher values, unaware of Musk’s involvement.

Why did the SEC sue Musk?

Under SEC rules, investors surpassing a 5% stake in a public company must report it within ten days—a requirement Musk allegedly exceeded by eleven days.

The SEC alleged stating,

“Because Musk failed to timely disclose his beneficial ownership, he was able to make these purchases from the unsuspecting public at artificially low prices.”

The SEC also added,

“That day, Twitter’s stock price increased more than 27% over its previous day’s closing price.”

For context, the SEC alleges that Tesla CEO Elon Musk began acquiring Twitter shares in early 2022. By March 14th, he had surpassed a 5% ownership threshold.

Between the 24th of March and the 4th of April 2022, Musk reportedly spent over $500 million to buy additional shares, underpaying Twitter investors by more than $150 million.

The regulator claims that Musk’s failure to disclose his ownership on time allowed him to buy shares at artificially low prices. The market was unaware of his significant stake, a material fact that would have influenced stock valuations.

This occurred days before Gensler’s resignation

Interestingly, the timing of the SEC’s lawsuit coincides with significant leadership transitions, as Chair Gary Gensler prepares to step down on 20th January, marking the start of Donald Trump’s presidency.

This period also aligns with Musk’s upcoming role as the head of the newly established “Department of Government Efficiency” (D.O.G.E.), where he will advise the incoming administration on streamlining government operations.

The overlap of these developments adds an intriguing layer to the unfolding legal and political narrative surrounding Musk and his involvement with X(formerly Twitter).

As anticipated, Musk took to X to voice his criticism of the SEC, and stated,

“Totally broken organization. They spend their time on shit like this when there are so many actual crimes that go unpunished.”

Needless to say, the community stood in favor of Musk.
