Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

RETROACTIVE SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS BEGIN, WHEN TO EXPECT THEM?

The Social Security Administration (SSA) has made remarkable progress in distributing retroactive payments to those impacted by the Social Security Fairness Act.

This pivotal legislation, passed at the end of 2024, repeals two controversial provisions—the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO). These provisions had long been criticized for reducing or eliminating benefits for certain public sector workers, including firefighters, police officers, and teachers.

According to the SSA, over $7.5 billion has already been distributed to more than 1.1 million eligible beneficiaries.

The average retroactive payment stands at $6,710, compensating for benefits that would have been issued in 2024 had the law been enacted earlier. Initially, the agency estimated that processing these increased monthly payments and retroactive sums could take over a year. However, recent updates suggest that the majority of cases have been expedited.

Who will receive these payments and when? The SSA is actively adjusting the monthly benefits for affected recipients, with updated payments expected to be reflected in the April 2025 disbursement. Those who have not yet received their retroactive payment are advised to wait until April before contacting the SSA for further inquiries.

To determine eligibility for increased benefits, the SSA will be sending official notices by mail to affected individuals in the coming weeks. It is estimated that up to 3.2 million Americans will benefit from the changes introduced by the Social Security Fairness Act. However, some individuals may need to take action to ensure they receive their due benefits.

Individuals who are unsure whether they previously applied for retirement, spousal, or survivor benefits, or those who never applied due to WEP or GPO restrictions, should consider taking action. The SSA recommends submitting an application online or by phone at 1-800-772-1213 (Monday–Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM ET). When prompted, say “Fairness Act” to be connected with a trained representative.

How much will monthly payments increase? A September 2024 estimate by the Congressional Budget Office projected significant increases. Social Security beneficiaries previously impacted by the WEP will see an average increase of $360 per month. Those affected by the GPO could receive between $700 and $1,190 extra per month.

These adjustments represent a historic shift for millions of retired public sector employees, ensuring they receive the benefits they were previously denied. This change marks a new era of fairness and equity in the distribution of Social Security benefits.

For further details, beneficiaries should refer to their official SSA notices or check the agency’s website for updates. The SSA is committed to ensuring that all eligible individuals receive the benefits they deserve under the new legislation.

TRUMP SET TO SIGN EXECUTIVE ORDER REVERSING BIDEN’S CRYPTO BANKING RESTRICTIONS

President Donald Trump is all set to sign an executive order targeting Biden administration policies that have made it hard for crypto companies to access banking services. The order is expected to target policies under “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” which seeks to roll back these restrictions and support the crypto industry.

Bo Hines, Executive Director of the White House’s Presidential Working Group on Digital Assets, confirmed that administrative action is coming but didn’t provide details. He mentioned that the industry can expect something soon.

Hines also emphasized that the Trump administration aims to end practices linked to “Operation Chokepoint 2.0,” a term coined by Nic Carter, which refers to efforts similar to the Obama-era Operation Choke Point that targeted payday lenders and gun dealers.

Trump’s Executive Order Could Open Fed Access to Crypto Banks

While details of Trump’s executive order are still being finalized, it could impact Federal Reserve policies on master accounts. These accounts, held by federally chartered banks, are essential for making direct payments and accessing the Fed’s services. Under the Biden administration, the Fed denied master accounts to crypto-focused banks like Custodia, hindering their growth.

Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett remarked that this is significant because the Federal Reserve and the FDIC have not yet reversed any anti-crypto policies, even though Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell mentioned last month that he was concerned by the increasing number of crypto debanking cases and that the Fed would “take a fresh look” at the issue.

Trump Administration Pushes Forward Despite Challenges

While the Federal Reserve operates independently from the White House, the Trump administration is pushing forward with its crypto order, despite potential legal hurdles. Sources note that senior White House officials are set to meet Thursday to assess possible challenges before putting the order on Trump’s desk.

However, a White House official denied any such meeting is scheduled but confirmed that efforts to roll back Operation Chokepoint 2.0 are already in motion. The race to reshape crypto policy is heating up, and all eyes are on what comes next.

Directive on Stablecoins?

The upcoming executive order could extend beyond banking, and might include a directive stating that stablecoins, which are designed to maintain a stable value and are typically pegged to the U.S. dollar, should not be classified as securities.

If Trump signs this order, it would be his third crypto-related executive action since returning to office. The first, signed on January 23, created a Presidential Working Group on Digital Asset Markets. The second, signed last week, ordered the establishment of a U.S. government Bitcoin reserve and a separate stockpile for other digital assets.

Bitcoin Dips Despite The Developments

Trump’s recent Crypto Summit disappointed industry leaders, with his Bitcoin reserve plan failing to boost the market as the administration plans to use seized assets. Broader economic policies, including tariffs on China and others, have also shaken markets. As a result, institutional investors pulled funds from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, causing Bitcoin to fall below $80,000 for the first time in 4 months and Ethereum to drop to $1,870.

THAILAND’S SEC JUST APPROVED USDT & USDC, ALONGSIDE BITCOIN & ETHEREUM AS APPROVED TOKENS!

▪Thailand’s SEC approves USDT and USDC for trading on licensed crypto exchanges.

▪Stablecoins join Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Stellar in Thailand’s approved crypto list.

▪New rules effective March 16 boost crypto trading and adoption in Thailand.

▪Tether faces transparency scrutiny despite $142 billion market cap and growing demand.

Thailand’s financial regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has expanded its list of approved cryptocurrencies. The country has now allowed the use of Tether (USDT) and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC) on licensed digital asset exchanges. This decision follows a growing demand for stablecoins in crypto trading and payments worldwide.

Thailand Regulator Adds USDC, USDT Stablecoins

With this approval, Thailand opens its doors to stablecoins, a crucial part of the global crypto market. Stablecoins like USDT and USDC are widely used for trading, payments, and remittances due to their price stability.

By adding USDT and USDC to its list of approved cryptocurrencies, alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Stellar, Thailand is expanding its digital asset ecosystem. This move not only enhances trading opportunities but also strengthens Thailand’s position as a growing hub for crypto adoption in Asia.

The new regulations, set to take effect on March 16, will allow licensed exchanges to list and trade these stablecoins, making it easier for investors and traders to move funds within the crypto ecosystem.

Thailand Aligns with Global Crypto Trends

The decision to approve USDT and USDC comes after a public consultation held in February, where most participants supported the idea. Across regions like Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, stablecoins have gained popularity due to their reliability and ease of use in transactions.

Tether alone contributes to around 40% of the total trading activity in the country. As of now, USDT holds a massive $142 billion market capitalization, while USDC follows with $58 billion.

Push for Transparency

The approval of Tether’s stablecoin comes at a time when the company is facing scrutiny over its financial transparency. Just last week, the company appointed Simon McWilliams as its Chief Financial Officer to address concerns regarding its financial audits.

The company has been publishing quarterly reports verified by BDO Italy, but some critics argue that a full financial audit is needed. Following the 2022 market crash, the crypto industry has pushed for more transparency.

How To Handle Cash Savings Of Deceased Parents

How To Handle Cash Savings Of Deceased Parents

Liz Weston   Sun, March 9, 2025  LA Times

Dear Liz: My mother passed away a little over a year ago, and my father about 18 months prior to her. I discovered that my parents saved up quite a lot of cash (in the six figures), and I'm afraid to deposit it without triggering the IRS.

My parents routinely saved anywhere from $5,000 to up to $20,000 per year for the last 30 years. I read my mom's handwriting on the envelopes with the dates. How can I deposit all this without triggering the IRS? Some of the bills are “vintage” so I will keep them to see if they're worth more than face value. I also thought about using it to buy real estate.

 Answer: You mention “triggering the IRS” as if your deposit might set off an explosion of audit notices and tax liens. In reality, you’re far more likely to cause yourself grief by trying to avoid IRS notice than you are by simply depositing the money.

Banks report large cash deposits — typically those of $10,000 or more — to the IRS as a way to combat money laundering. Anti-money-laundering rules also have been extended to real estate deals. Banks are looking for smaller deposits that could add up to more than $10,000, so don’t think spreading out the deposits will help you avoid scrutiny.

“Depositing the money all at once would probably arouse less suspicion with the bank than making a continuing series of deposits just under $10,000,” says Mark Luscombe, principal analyst for Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting.

Luscombe suggests retaining all those envelopes with your mother’s handwriting. If you are questioned by your bank or the IRS, the envelopes could help show your parents were gradually saving the money over time rather than engaging in some money-raising scheme on which taxes were never paid.

You didn’t mention if your parents had wills or other estate documents, or if there are other beneficiaries. Consult with an estate planning attorney to see if the cash needs to be deposited in the name of your mother’s estate.

Economist: Lower Oil Prices May Push Iraq To Reduce Exchange Rate And Cut Expenses

Time: 2025/03/10 12:38:15 Read: 2,895 times   {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Nabil Al Marsomi warned today, Monday, that the continued decline in oil prices will put the Iraqi government before difficult choices, including those that may include reducing the exchange rate to confront financial challenges.

Al-Marsoumi told Al-Furat News Agency that “the government may be forced to take austerity measures that include reducing public expenditures and increasing non-oil revenues,” noting that “the oil market is currently suffering from significant weakness, with a decline in oil policy that may include imposing fees on some countries such as China, Canada and Mexico, in addition to the possibility of canceling the OPEC Plus agreement, which stipulates reducing production by two million barrels per day.”

He added, "These expectations indicate further declines in oil prices in the coming weeks, which will negatively affect the Iraqi economy."  LINK

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

UTAH’S SENATE PASSES BITCOIN BILL — BUT SCRAPS KEY PROVISION

Utah lawmakers have passed a Bitcoin bill after amending it to remove a section that would have authorized the state treasurer to invest in Bitcoin.

Utah’s Bitcoin bill has passed the state Senate, but without its cornerstone, a clause that would have made it the first US state with its own Bitcoin reserve.

The HB230 “Blockchain and Digital Innovation Amendments” bill now only provides Utah citizens with basic custody protections, the right to mine Bitcoin, run a node and participate in staking, among other things.

The 19-7-3 vote to pass the measure on March 7 means the bill is now headed to Utah Governor Spencer Cox’s desk to be signed into law.

The reserve clause would have authorized Utah’s treasurer to invest up to 5% of digital assets with a market cap above $500 billion over the last calendar year in five state accounts — with Bitcoin as the only digital asset that currently meets this criteria.

The reserve clause passed the second reading but was scrapped in the third and final reading. Utah’s House then concurred with the amendment in a 52-19-4 vote.

“There was a lot of concern with those provisions and the early adoption of these types of policies,” one of the bill’s sponsors, Senator Kirk A. Cullimore, said in Utah’s March 7 floor session.

“All of that has been stripped out of the bill."

Up until March 7, Utah looked likely to become the first US state to adopt a Bitcoin reserve, Satoshi Action Fund’s CEO Dennis Porter predicted on Feb. 2.

Two Arizona Bitcoin reserve bills and a Texas bill are now the closest to being passed into law, Bitcoin Laws data shows. Each of those bills obtained a successful vote in their respective Senate committees and is now awaiting a final floor vote in the Senate.

Of the 31 Bitcoin reserve state bills introduced, 25 remain live, including bills from Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio and Oklahoma.

Bills from the likes of Pennsylvania, Montana, Kentucky and North Dakota have failed.

EL SALVADOR CONTINUES ACCUMULATING BITCOIN AND NOW HOLDS 6,111 BTC DESPITE IMF PRESSURE

▪The Central American nation acquired an additional 6 BTC on Sunday, boosting its total holdings to 6,111.18 BTC.
▪The country agreed to scale back the public sector’s bitcoin activities in a deal with the IMF for a $1.4 billion loan.

El Salvador continues to acquire bitcoin despite its deal with the International Monetary Fund to curb its bitcoin acquisition.

The Central American nation purchased an additional 6 BTC on Sunday, expanding its total bitcoin holdings to 6,111.18 BTC, worth about $504 million at current market prices, compared to 6,072 BTC on Feb. 9, according to the country's Bitcoin Office.

In December, El Salvador reached a deal with the IMF for a $1.4 billion loan, with the total package expected to be over $3.5 billion, and agreed to scale back its bitcoin engagement in exchange for the financing. Then, in January, the country's Legislative Assembly approved a bill to comply with the IMF requirements set out in the deal, according to Reuters.

On March 3, the IMF released a new document outlining conditions as part of the extended arrangement for its fund facility to El Salvador.

"Going forward, program commitments will confine government engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities, as well as government transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin," said Nigel Clarke, deputy managing director of the IMF, in the document.

El Salvador's strategic reserve, however, continued to accumulate bitcoin. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said last week that the country will not stop purchasing bitcoin. "No, it's not stopping," Bukele said in an X post on March 5. "If it didn’t stop when the world ostracized us and most 'bitcoiners' abandoned us, it won’t stop now, and it won’t stop in the future."

Can Tariffs Replace the Income Tax? We Did the Math

Can Tariffs Replace the Income Tax? We Did the Math

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  March 10, 2025

It was the dead of night on March 22, 1929 somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico near the port of New Orleans, and the Canadian schooner I’m Alone was waiting to offload its illegal rum.

Prohibition had been in effect in the United States for nearly a decade at that point, which meant that the production, sale, transport, and distribution of any “intoxicating liquors” carried severe criminal penalties.

But prohibition didn’t end alcohol consumption. Americans still imbibed in secret thanks to a vast network of speakeasies, bootleggers, rum-runners, and moonshine distilleries. The black market thrived

I’m Alone was one of the vessels that would ferry alcohol back-and-forth between the Caribbean and the United States. Ordinarily it would linger in international waters, just beyond the legal jurisdiction of US authorities, while smaller speedboats smuggled its cargo of illegal booze to the shore.

But on that fateful night in the spring of 1929, the US Coast Guard was feeling a little overzealous. Officials pursued I’m Alone into international waters and intercepted it.

I’m Alone’s captain refused to surrender, and a midnight chase ensued. The Coast Guard ended up shelling them with explosives, and the ship sank. One crew member drowned, and the rest were taken into custody.

The problem, of course, was that I'm Alone was a Canadian vessel in international waters. So the fact that it had been shelled and sunk by the United States Coast Guard sparked an international dispute between the US and Canada.

After years of diplomatic wrangling, an international tribunal ultimately ruled in favor of Canada, determining that the US had overstepped its legal authority. The case resulted in a financial settlement, with a sum paid to the Captain, as well as the drowned sailor’s widow.

Prohibition finally ended in 1933... but the damage had been done. Consumer demand for alcoholic beverages never went away, so all Prohibition really managed to do was create an extremely lucrative black market for booze... thus turning small-time bootleggers into powerful, nationwide crime syndicates.

(Many of the most infamous criminals of the early 20th century, like Al Capone, made vast fortunes in bootlegging, or even got their start in it.)

Such unintended consequences are inevitable any time a government imposes nationwide prohibition... or imposes some crazy tax policy or regulatory burden: people always figure out a way around it.

There are places all over the world that have extremely high import duties, and you can see the results.

For example, I lived in Uruguay long ago, and, at least at the time, the country had some of the highest import duties in the world for automobiles. I remember a friend told me that he had paid $100,000 for a generic Ford F150 that should have cost around $20,000 (it was back in 2008).

Yet there was a flourishing industry of guys who figured out how to game the system, and bring in cars from nearby countries like Brazil or Paraguay without having to pay the insane import duties on motor vehicles. People figured out a way to avoid the tax.

Then there is India, which has imposed very high import duties on a variety of goods— including gold. Smugglers there have gone as far as shoving gold into their rectums in order to avoid the tax... proving not only that people will always figure out a way, but they’ll resort to the most ridiculous means necessary.

Or look at Thailand, where drug trafficking can carry the death penalty— yet you can still buy pot and cocaine just about anywhere. The threat of consequences doesn’t matter: people will still skirt the rules.

I say this all because there is obviously a big movement in the US towards tariffs now. Somehow this word has become “beautiful”. And there seems to be an idea that the US is going to generate so much revenue from tariffs that it could even replace the income tax.

Fat chance. Let’s do the math on that...

Individual income tax is the largest source of federal revenue in the United States, bringing in $2.4 trillion in FY 2024 according to Treasury data.

Meanwhile, total imports of goods into the US in 2024 was $3.3 trillion.

This means that, in order for tariffs to generate enough revenue to replace the $2.4 trillion in income tax, the tariff rate would have to be 73% across the board (i.e. 73% x $3.3 trillion in imports = $2.4 trillion in revenue).

Let’s be honest— there’s no way people will accept 73% tariffs. Just like during Prohibition, the black market would once again thrive in the United States as bootleggers smuggle in illegal... you know, toilet paper and other boring household items.

So more likely than replacing the income tax, Americans should be prepared to pay for tariffs in addition to income taxes.

Let’s assume tariffs are only 25%, so the US manages to bring in an extra $825 billion in revenue. Well, that would certainly bring the budget deficit down to a manageable level... which is a good thing.

But it also means that the average American household would be paying an additional $6,000 per year in taxes— and one that would hit the middle class the hardest.

(This assumes full compliance with the tariffs, which is laughable. Again, people will find ways around it, as they always have.)

Of course, part of the stated goal is that the US economy will start manufacturing these products at home, therefore imports will fall and the tariffs will be pointless.

But this is also a terrible idea. There is such a thing as competitive advantage... of ‘best and highest use’. Why would anyone want to bring industries back to the US which can be done cheaper, and more efficiently elsewhere?

Does anyone seriously want Americans pulling levers in a sock factory, or bent over in the fields tending to their turnips?

The US has abundant natural resources and a productive economy, and forcing inefficiencies onto it through protectionist policies is the wrong move. The best and highest use for the US economy is to create the world’s most valuable technological innovations, not produce socks and underwear.

Now, it’s possible that automation, AI, and cheap (nuclear) power could make America a global manufacturing powerhouse again.

But this won’t happen through tariffs. It will happen through investment, innovation, and competitive advantage.

If politicians want to generate more tax revenue, the answer isn’t to slap tariffs on imports and create a labyrinth of regulations.

The solution is economic growth. And that means lower taxes, and more importantly, less regulation.

Tariffs are at best a distraction, and at worst harmful to the economy. And a growing economy is exactly what the US needs to reverse its decline.

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Monday Afternoon 3-10-25

Good afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Seeds of Wisdom RV Announcement and Info

The steps to the Global Currency Reset (GCR) funding process have been widely speculated upon, but based on the structured flow reported by insiders and experts, it generally follows this order:

1. Historic Bonds Redemption (Sovereign-Level)
German Bonds (and other historic bonds like Chinese Dragon Bonds, Super Petchilis, Railroad Bonds, etc.)
These were issued long ago and have been held by sovereign groups, large institutions, and select individuals.
Bondholders go through a vetting and redemption process, where bonds are verified and then paid out.
Payments may be staggered in tranches over time.

2. Other Bonds & Private Placements
Zim Bonds (Zimbabwe Bonds) – Considered high-yield and separate from currency exchanges.
Other sovereign bonds (Venezuelan, Peruvian, etc.) follow similar redemption protocols.
Private placements & tiered settlements involve structured payouts to high-net-worth individuals and institutions.

3. Digital & Crypto Assets Integration
Some theories suggest asset-backed crypto may play a role in new financial systems.
Quantum Financial System (QFS) may transition assets into a blockchain-secured environment.
There could be a shift from fiat-based digital assets to gold or commodity-backed digital currencies.

4. Currency Exchange & Revaluation (RV)
Currencies like the Iraqi Dinar (IQD), Vietnamese Dong (VND), Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), Zimbabwean Dollar (ZWL), and others are expected to undergo revaluation.
Exchange centers, banks, or designated locations will facilitate conversions.

Tiers (1-5) dictate when different groups receive access to funds.
Tier 1: Sovereigns & elite institutions.
Tier 2: Governments & select large groups.
Tier 3: Humanitarian & pre-approved projects.
Tier 4: Public holders with pre-arranged agreements (Tier 4B includes internet groups).
Tier 5: General public after revaluation is public.

5. Wealth Management & Project Disbursement
Funds are distributed based on agreements, NDAs, and structured payouts.
Humanitarian projects are expected to receive allocations.
Wealth managers, trusts, and legal structures assist in handling funds post-exchange.

Each phase unfolds in a controlled manner, ensuring that funding flows through proper channels before mass liquidity is released to the public.

Henig: Vietnam Set to Launch Digital Asset Exchange

Vietnam is gearing up to pilot a digital asset exchange, as announced by Deputy Finance Minister Nguyen Duc Chi. The initiative aims to establish a trading platform for virtual digital assets (VDAs), with testing slated to commence by the end of March.

This development comes on the heels of Vietnam’s impressive ranking as the fifth country globally in crypto adoption, highlighting the growing significance of the digital asset sector in the nation.

Government’s Commitment to Digital Assets

The Vietnamese finance ministry is actively developing a roadmap for the VDA trading platform, as reported by a government-backed publication. This initiative aligns with Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính’s recent directive, which sets a national growth target of eight percent or more by the end of 2025. The government aims to foster a more welcoming environment for the crypto sector, anticipating an influx of foreign direct investment and promoting sustainable economic growth. In his directive, Prime Minister Chính emphasized the importance of leveraging science, technology, and innovation to drive economic progress.

He urged various ministries and local agencies to support businesses in implementing pilot projects and specific policies related to digital transformation. This proactive approach reflects Vietnam’s commitment to integrating digital assets into its economic framework.

Rising Crypto Adoption in Vietnam

Vietnam has emerged as a leader in cryptocurrency adoption, ranking alongside countries like India, Indonesia, and the United States in Chainalysis’ crypto adoption index since 2021. The country’s crypto sector is currently valued at nearly $3 trillion, indicating a robust growth trajectory. Research forecasts suggest that crypto ownership will continue to rise in Vietnam, driven by increasing interest and investment in digital assets.

However, despite the growing adoption of cryptocurrencies, Vietnam has yet to establish a comprehensive legal framework to regulate the digital assets sector. The absence of clear regulations raises concerns about potential exploitation for illegal transactions, which could evade law enforcement and banking oversight. In response to these challenges, former Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai directed the finance ministry in 2022 to draft a legal framework to support the growth of Web3 technologies.

Education and Innovation in Emerging Technologies

In addition to developing a digital asset exchange, Vietnam is also focusing on educating its citizens about emerging technologies such as blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI). In May, the country launched the Academy of Blockchain and AI Innovation (ABAII) to promote these technologies among students and young professionals.

This initiative aims to equip the workforce with the necessary skills to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. The finance ministry is collaborating with the State Bank of Vietnam to accelerate the formulation of policies governing the digital assets sector. As Vietnam continues to embrace digital transformation, the government’s efforts to educate and innovate in the tech space will play a crucial role in shaping the future of its economy. Link

Frank26  I know this blessing is coming not because I know a date or a rate but because I understand what the United States Treasury...Donald Trump and Sudani are doing with the CBI.

Jeff   What they've told us is that going into 2025 they were going to end the currency auctions.  We know that much.  They did say they transitioned to that new method of transferring foreign currencies abroad... allowing specific local banks within the country of Iraq to send the foreign currencies...But they never officially ended the currency auctions... We know the currency auctions have to end at least by the time the rate changes.  We also know that from last November through the end of January the currency auctions went up from about $280 million to $300 million, then in January of this year...went higher from $290 million to $300 million...Their actions of incrementing the currency auctions to higher amounts suggest we're getting getting very close to nearing the end of this...

“Major achievement”: Iraq, BP ink deal to boost Kirkuk oil output

 On Monday, the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, represented by the North Oil Company (NOC) and the North Gas Company (NGC), signed a contract with British energy giant BP to develop the Kirkuk oil fields.

In a statement, Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul-Ghani called the contract signing for the development of NOC fields a “major achievement” for both the ministry and the company, especially after a period of stagnation.

The development and rehabilitation efforts will boost national production, and increase gas investment and production to support electricity generation, he noted, emphasizing that "the ministry is focused on maximizing the state's oil and gas resources, which will positively impact the federal budget's financial resources.”

The contract reportedly includes the rehabilitation and development of the four Kirkuk oil fields (the Baba and Avana domes, Bai Hassan, Jambur, and Khabbaz,) along with the rehabilitation and expansion of gas facilities at the NOC.

Last week, a delegation from BP visited the North Oil Company’s headquarters to finalize steps for rehabilitating the four fields.

The Iraqi government, in February, signed an agreement with the British company to develop Kirkuk’s fields and ensure “the optimal utilization of energy resources.” link

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context.  Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Happy Monday Morning

Member: Hey People! THIS WILL BE A GREAT DAY! Glad to see all of you this morning!

Member: Hope Mark and Zester had a great trip this weekend.

Member: Hoping for some great news today!

MZ: It was a good event….just very busy and schedule was tight….wish I would have had a chance to meet more of you.

MZ: I have better than normal news for a Monday morning. Usually Mondays there is no news at all.

Member: Mark if the mediators were paid then it has definitely moved forward correct? So now we just hope no more delays with bond guys etc!

MZ: I have a couple of interesting things from a couple of bond contacts. They are being told the vast majority of money definitely moves in March. They believe this is their month for redemptions.

MZ: There are a number of them with dollars…small amounts. My understanding is the full amount- the bulk of their dollars will move all at the same time….and on the same day. I got that from 4 different bond contacts in different groups.

MZ: they are all saying the big dollars will release all at once for all of them.

MZ: A couple of groups are working hard and they are also being told that this is their month. Crossing my fingers it is true and we don’t get another letdown.  But there is certainly a lot of chatter right now.

MZ: We will never be in a perfect spot for this, but at some point they have to pull the trigger. Fantastic news over the weekend…it just needs to manifest.

Member: Mark, did your contact with a Saturday currency apt get liquidity?

MZ: I don’t have an update, but as of Saturday where they had a tenetavie appointment to exchange some currency…they have not gone.

Member: it sounds like we will all have a shotgun start….So hopefully when bonds go…we all go.

Member: Walkingstick says "Day and Rate" fixed after big bank meetings in Iraq.

MZ: “ US gas move: Iraq’s race to avert power crisis” Us has gone full tilt with Iraq to stop Iranian influence and rebuild Iraqi infrastructure. They are adding power plants as well as rebuilding the power structure. This will put Iraq at the forfront in the region….and with that we get the economic reforms or a higher value to lift the purhasing power of Iraq.

Member: Sounds like they could use additional funds for all of that…..Release the RV Iraq.

MZ: “ Official working hours will be suspended next Sunday” They will be shutting down their Gov on Sunday to remember victims of several Crimes against humanity ……Datewise this falls on the 16th. I am hearing many things pointing to the 16th and 17th.

MZ: what a great time to change things and put Iraq back on its feet.

MZ: “Government advisor: 2025 budget will reach Parliament before the end of Ramadan”  in other wrds they will have the budget and its tables in the month of March.

Member: Everything is lining up , for everything to happen all at once .

Member: When I begin to think that this RV will never occur, I just remind myself that Iraq cannot go international at a $1,320 exchange rate.

​​Member: I don't see it going to the end of the month, personally. I think it will be sooner. At this point, Iraq is losing $$ every day we wait.

Member: I believe Apr 01 is the beginning of Iraq's new quarter.

Member: I heard a rumor that the 12th is going to be the day-for the DINAR to be at it’s peak and the time to change currencies

Member: Nader has a video this morning that he says by the end of the week

Member: Trusted bank worker said a man came in and had 150 zeros behind his balance in his account. He told her he was from Iraq and the currency revalued at 4.47. I believe her but not sure about customer.

Member: Kuwait revalued March 24, 1991 a SUNDAY

Member: After Iraq was expelled from Kuwait, the banks revalued their currency to $3.47

Member: Dow down −350.65 in the opening bell

Member: The news is surely interesting and seems we are moving ahead.

Member: is this going to be our week, trump said big things this week! let's hope its our week.
