Clare:  The Iranian rial falls to a new record low against the dollar.

4/5/2025

The Iranian rial hit a record low against the dollar, trading at 1,043,000, as tensions between Washington and Tehran escalate.

This decline occurred during the Persian New Year, Nowruz, when currency exchanges closed and transactions were limited to informal street trading, placing additional pressure on the market.

On Ferdowsi Street in the Iranian capital, Tehran, the heart of the country's currency exchanges, some merchants have closed their electronic signs displaying the current exchange rate amid uncertainty about the extent of the rial's decline, according to the Associated Press.

Iranians seeking safe havens for their savings amid an annual inflation rate of nearly 40% are turning to gold, dollars, and other currencies, threatening further challenges for the rial.

The Iranian currency was trading at around 55,000 rials to the dollar in 2018, when the Trump administration, during his first term, imposed sanctions to force Tehran to negotiate by reducing its oil exports and limiting its access to foreign currency.

The United States has imposed four rounds of sanctions on Iranian oil sales since Trump returned to the White House.  LINK

Clare:  Erbil celebrates the 94th anniversary of the issuance of the first Iraqi currency (photos)

4/5/2025

The Education Museum in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, held a special event on Saturday to mark the 94th anniversary of the issuance of the first Iraqi currency, with a large educational and cultural presence.

The ceremony included a display of a wide range of ancient Iraqi coins, documenting the political and economic transformations the country has undergone from the royal era to the present day.

The event featured a rare display of various types of banknotes and coins, including first editions bearing the image of King Faisal I, through decades of changes that accompanied the monarchy and republican systems, and up to the most recent editions.

In an interview with Shafaq News Agency, the director of the educational museum, Omid Al-Barzanji, said, "Today's event is a display of Iraqi currency from the time of King Faisal until the present day."

He added, "This date is very important to us, because professors in the past were very interested in collecting coins and their types to display to students as historical evidence. Why? Because every coin, whether paper or metal, has a special stamp or markings that indicate the historical period in which it was issued and reflect the period in which people lived."

"For this reason, professors have paid attention to it, and today we attach special importance to it on the occasion of the 94th anniversary of the issuance of the first Iraqi currency," Al-Barzanji added.

He continued, "We are displaying these coins so that the new generation can learn that the Iraqi dinar was worth three dollars, or even more, in the past. Compared to the current currency situation, we notice a decline in its value. This display also shows the new generation that Iraq has gone through many circumstances and challenges, and has lived through multiple phases, from the era of the monarchy to the republic, all the way to the present day."

The museum director concluded his remarks by saying, "Every period has a story, and every era has a history, and we showcase this history through Iraqi currency."  More pictures at link    LINK

Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Saturday Afternoon 4-5-25

95 Trillion Dinars Are Held Outside The Banking System. What Is Their Impact On The Economy?

Banks  Economy News – Baghdad  Prime Minister's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, confirmed on Saturday that the widespread use of digital payment systems allows citizens to borrow at lower costs, noting that 95 percent of the country's 109 trillion dinars are held outside the banking system.

"The positive steps towards activating e-commerce are aligned with the government's and the Central Bank's efforts to integrate hoarded funds (cash leakage) into the banking system, which will contribute to strengthening the national economy and achieving financial stability," said Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, an advisor to the Prime Minister.

He pointed out that "the Monetary Authority had previously prepared regulations and registration procedures to obtain a license to practice this trade, in a coordinated manner that contributes to regulating the market and enhancing consumer confidence."

He added, "The government and Central Bank's steps to enhance confidence and activate e-commerce are in line with the launch of digital transformation projects. This has been the case since the Central Bank announced the launch of strategic projects to support digital transformation, including the instant payments project, local cards, and unified payment gateways, all of which aim to enhance financial inclusion and facilitate digital banking operations."

He pointed out that "all measures to address information technology and integrate it into digital payment systems are in line with the country's digital renaissance, the community's financial culture, and the development of monetary behavior in relation to inherited customs, traditions, and cultures. Hoarding money at home instead of depositing it in banks remains a prominent economic challenge in Iraq."

He explained: "Estimates indicate that approximately 87% of the money supply, or approximately 95 trillion dinars out of a total of 109 trillion dinars, is held outside the banking system, preventing a significant portion of the nation's wealth from effectively participating in the economy."

He explained that "the more digital payment systems are used, including e-commerce, the more efficient banking activity becomes and the fewer leakages outside banks. This gives official and licensed banking units the greatest opportunity to extend more credit or lend to citizens at a lower cost and with greater efficiency, thanks to the often lower interest rate."

He noted that "the parallel market for usurers, which deals with funds circulating or hoarded outside the banking system, is a very dangerous, illegal, and costly market for citizens and the national economy in terms of engaging in credit operations or lending at very high usurious interest rates, or what is known as the usurers' market, due to the ambiguity of its operations. In addition, some of its activities conflict with the Anti-Money Laundering Law due to the lack of transparency in financing and the absence of governance elements, accompanied by trading and recovery risks."

Al-Sudani Directs Four Measures To Address The Impact Of The US Tariff Increase

Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad  Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani chaired a meeting on Saturday to discuss the economic and commercial implications of the US government's decision to increase customs tariffs. He directed four measures to be taken in accordance with the best interests of the Iraqi economy.

The Prime Minister's media office said in a statement seen by Al-Eqtisad News that "Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani chaired a meeting dedicated to examining the economic and commercial impacts of the US government's decision to increase customs duties on their imports of goods from countries around the world, and the repercussions of this step on the global economy as a whole, on crude oil prices, and the extent to which the Iraqi economy will be affected in this regard."

He added, "The meeting reviewed digital data issued by the Ministry of Trade, which reveals that the percentage of US tariff increases on Iraqi goods was based on the difference in the trade balance between the two countries, and not because of customs duties imposed by Iraq on US goods."

He continued, "It has become clear, through Ministry of Commerce data, that the majority of Iraq's imports of American goods are made through markets in other countries, as a result of certain policies pursued by American companies in their commercial dealings with Iraq."

The statement added, "In light of these facts, and in order to ensure the best path for developing the Iraqi economy, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani directed that the necessary measures be taken, in accordance with what the higher interests of the Iraqi economy dictate, as follows:

1- Working to develop mutual trade relations, by opening outlets for American distributors and commercial agencies, activating Iraqi commercial agencies, and direct trade dealings between sectors corresponding to the United States of America.

2- Working to develop banking services between the banking and financial sectors in Iraq and the United States of America, in a manner that ensures the achievement of mutual economic interests.

3- Directing the negotiating team with the American side to review the foundations of the trade relationship with the United States, with the aim of improving it, and ensuring the building of balanced economic and trade relations that guarantee mutual interests between the two parties and develop a positive partnership.

4- The Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Finance, and Trade, along with relevant stakeholders, shall undertake to open a dialogue with the corresponding American sectoral side, ensuring the strengthening of trade relations, monitoring financial markets and economic expertise, and submitting weekly reports to his office.  https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=54122

US Confirms That Energy Imports Are Not Subject To Tariffs, And Iraq Considers The Decision Limited.
April 5, 2025

Baghdad - Qusay Munther  The Prime Minister's advisor for foreign relations, Farhad Alaaldin, ruled out the inclusion of Iraqi energy exports, including crude oil, in the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, after the White House confirmed that energy imports would be exempt from the decision.

Alaa Al-Din said in a statement yesterday, "In light of the recent announcement by US President Donald Trump regarding the imposition of reciprocal customs duties on a number of countries around the world, we would like to clarify that Iraqi energy exports, including crude oil, are not included in these duties."

 He stressed that "Iraq currently exports between 7 and 8 million barrels of crude oil and its derivatives per month to the United States. These exports constitute the mainstay of Iraqi exports and have not been affected by the recent customs measures."

He continued, saying, "The rest of Iraq's exports are limited in size and scope, which means that the economic impact of these duties on Iraq will be very limited."

He pointed out that "the strategic partnership between Iraq and the United States remains solid and strong, and that these measures will not affect the essence of the economic or diplomatic relationship between the two countries." He went on to say that "the two countries continue to work to deepen their cooperation in various sectors, particularly in the areas of energy, investment, and enhancing regional stability."

 The White House announced that imports of oil, gas, and refined products will be exempt from the new comprehensive customs duties imposed by Trump.

A White House official explained yesterday that "these measures do not apply to energy imports from Canada or Mexico, which already enjoy exemptions under the United States-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement, nor do they include energy imports from any other country."

Convenient exception

This exemption comes as welcome news to the US oil industry, which had expressed concerns that the new tariffs would disrupt supply flows and increase costs, both for Canadian crude oil that feeds Midwestern refineries and European gasoline and diesel shipments bound for the East Coast.

Trump had announced a 10 percent tariff on all imports to the United States, along with higher tariffs on dozens of major trading partners, deepening the trade war he started after returning to the White House.

 Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani also confirmed that the Mahmoudiyah-Bismaya gas pipeline project will meet citizens' electricity needs.

A statement received by Al-Zaman yesterday said that “Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani and his deputy for energy affairs, Minister of Oil Hayan Abdul-Ghani, visited the project to extend the gas pipeline from Mahmoudiya district to Bismayah power station, to view the project’s completion stages.”

The statement added that “Al-Sudani was briefed on the ongoing work on the project to extend the gas pipeline from Mahmoudiya district to Bismayah power station, with a diameter of 42 knots and a capacity of 800 million standard cubic feet per day.”

Abdul-Ghani confirmed that “the project enjoys the government’s support through its field follow-up of the project, which aims to transport dry gas in Mahmoudiya to Bismayah power station, with a length of 43 km and a diameter of 42 knots, and will contribute to meeting citizens’ needs for electricity and ensuring its stability in the country.”
oil projects

Appreciating (the efforts of the Oil Projects Company staff who continue to work day and night to complete the project within a maximum period of 120 days according to the project plan).

For his part, the General Manager of the Oil Projects Company, Ali Ward Hamoud, said that (his company has started implementing the crossings of the 42-knot dry gas pipeline feeding the Bismayah power station, and it is scheduled to be completed within the project’s timeframe).

Al-Sudani directed the removal of all conflicts of the gas pipeline from Mahmoudiyah to Bismayah, stressing the importance of completing the bridge linking the two-story and suspended bridges according to the specified timeframe.

During the visit, Al-Sudani appreciated (the efforts of the workers), stressing (the provision of all administrative and legal requirements to remove obstacles facing the vital project to secure fuel for power stations, praising the commitment of the workers, despite the Eid holiday).   LINK

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

ILLINOIS LAWMAKER’S CRYPTO BILL AIMS TO TIGHTEN REGULATIONS AND ADDRESS FRAUD

The Illinois Senate has advanced a bill to establish comprehensive regulations for crypto businesses operating in the state and address concerns about digital assets-related fraud cases, which saw over $160 million in losses in 2023.

Illinois Advances Crypto Consumer Protection Bill

On Thursday, Illinois’ Senate Executive Committee passed Senate Bill 1797 (SB1797), also known as the Digital Assets and Consumer Protection Act, introduced by State Senator Mark Walker in February.

The bill, co-sponsored by State Senators Karina Villa, Rachel Ventura, and Mike Porfirio, aims to “crackdown on more than $163 million lost to cryptocurrency fraud in Illinois in 2023” by tightening the state’s regulations.

If passed, SB1797 would enable the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR) to oversee the guidelines that crypto companies must adhere to, making it the primary regulatory agency in the state.

“The rise of digital assets has opened the door for financial opportunity, but also for bankruptcy, fraud, and deceptive practices,” the Democratic Senator stated, “We must set standards for those who have evolved in the crypto business to ensure they are credible, honest actors.”

Bitcoin Laws explains that “the legislation aims to provide consumer safeguards while promoting responsible innovation in the digital asset space, with a phased implementation approach allowing businesses until January 2027 to fully comply with all provisions. The bill grants the Department significant oversight and enforcement powers, including the ability to investigate, levy fines, and take action against non-compliant businesses.”

Under the proposed legislation, the IDFPR could adopt rules to protect consumer assets and investors. Moreover, crypto companies must register with the IDFPR, provide disclosures, and prove they can satisfy payouts.

Another provision requires companies to notify consumers of any charges or transfers of their digital assets and to build programs to reduce consumer fraud. After Thursday’s vote, the bill moves to the full Senate.

Illinois’ Strategic Bitcoin Reserve

In January, Illinois joined the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR) race after State Representative John Cabello introduced House Bill 1844 (HB1844), or Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, to integrate Bitcoin (BTC) into the state’s financial framework.

The bill seeks to create a state-owned strategic BTC reserve managed by the Illinois State Treasurer, developing “a special fund in the state treasury” to hold BTC as a financial asset.

The legislation would allow the State Treasurer to receive Bitcoin gifts, grants, and donations from Illinois residents and governmental entities for the Fund. Additionally, it stipulates that all BTC deposits into the funds must be held for at least 5 years, starting when the asset enters the State’s custody.

It also mandates biennial reporting of the Fund’s status, detailing the total amount of BTC and its equivalent in USD, the Fund’s growth, and any transaction updates since the previous report.

However, data from the Illinois General Assembly shows that the bill hasn’t advanced in the legislative process since the first reading, waiting to be considered by the House Rules Committee.

BRICS: CHINA & BRAZIL OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCE TO TRADE IN LOCAL CURRENCIES

BRICS members China and Brazil officially announced to settle payments in local currencies to reduce dependency on the US dollar. This comes after China imposed an additional 34% tariffs on all US goods entering the country in a countermeasure to Trump. Several countries are expressing their displeasure against the US tariffs and finding alternatives to the dollar to safeguard their economies.

In addition, China also announced the restriction of local companies from investing in the US. The move stops the inflow of funds to the US making the markets slow down. The US could lose billions worth of institutional investment from China as a countermeasure to Trump’s tariffs. Read here to know how many sectors in the US will be impacted if BRICS uses local currencies for trade.

BRICS: Brazil & China Will Continue Trading in Local Currencies

Tatiana Rosito, Secretary of the Finance Ministry confirmed that BRICS member Brazil supports the payment settlements in local currencies with Brazil. Rosito stressed that mutual payments between Brazil and China will increase, and simultaneously the reliance on the US dollar will decrease.

“The trade in local currencies is already underway, for example, between (BRICS members) Brazil and China,” said Rosito to Tass. She added that Brazil has no objections to settling cross-border in local currencies with China. “No obstacles exist to that on the side of Brazil,” the official said.

The Secretary explained that settling trade in local currencies would reduce foreign exchange costs and boost their economy. “Therefore, the goal of BRICS is to expand the use of local currencies in any way that will make it possible to reduce costs and will be of interests for the association’s members,” she said.

She added that the New Development Bank, which aids BRICS with funds in local currencies can transform the alliance. “Opening of this bank reflects the aspiration of BRICS members to proactively participate in transformation of the economic and financial order,” Rosito summed it up.

GERMANY CONSIDERS REPATRIATING BILLIONS IN GOLD FROM US AMID TARIFF TENSIONS

Germany is weighing the potential withdrawal of approximately 1,200 tons of gold, valued at over €113 billion ($124.41B), from the U.S. Federal Reserve in New York amid escalating trade tensions triggered by Trump’s tariffs on the European Union, according to recent reports and political statements.

Trade Strains Prompt Germany to Reevaluate 1,200-Ton Gold Stash in U.S.

Germany, which holds the world’s second-largest gold reserves at 3,352 tons, stores 30-37% of its bullion in New York, a Cold War-era practice designed to ensure dollar liquidity during crises. The remainder is split between Frankfurt (50%) and London (13%).

Discussions about repatriating the U.S.-held gold intensified following President Donald Trump’s imposition of sweeping tariffs, including a 10% levy on EU imports, which German lawmakers argue undermines trust in bilateral agreements.

Political figures, including CDU members Marco Wanderwitz and Markus Ferber, have demanded increased oversight or full repatriation, citing fears the U.S. could restrict access during economic disputes.

The European Taxpayers’ Association echoed concerns, stressing the need for “immediate access” to gold amid discussions of new EU debt instruments. However, the Bundesbank has publicly reaffirmed confidence in the Federal Reserve, with President Joachim Nagel calling the Fed a “trustworthy and reliable partner.”

This debate mirrors Germany’s 2013-2017 repatriation effort, which saw 674 tons moved from New York and Paris to Frankfurt after public pressure and logistical challenges. Only five tons were initially returned in 2013 due to delays, highlighting the complexity of large-scale transfers.

Economically, the tariffs threaten to reduce Germany’s GDP growth by 1.5 percentage points by 2027, per Bundesbank projections. Meanwhile, gold prices have surged to record highs above $3,100 per ounce, driven by market uncertainty. Analysts suggest holding reserves domestically could provide liquidity safeguards if trade disputes escalate.

Globally, 68% of central banks now prioritize domestic gold storage, up from 50% in 2020, according to a 2023 World Gold Council survey. This trend, accelerated by U.S. sanctions on Russia and other nations, highlights a broader shift toward financial sovereignty.

The United States boasts the world’s largest gold reserves at 8,133 tons, a staggering figure representing more than three-quarters of its foreign reserves. Trailing behind Germany, Italy claims the third spot with 2,452 tons, predominantly safeguarded within the Bank of Italy’s vaults and select international depositories.

As of April 2025, no final decision has been made, leaving Germany’s gold strategy suspended between political urgency and institutional caution. The outcome could redefine how nations balance economic security with international partnerships in an era of rising protectionism.

MarkZ  Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

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

Mod:  GOOD MORNING ALL! HAPPY SATURDAY! CBD MATT AND LUCAS KICK OFF THE FIRST 45 MINS AND MARK GIVES THE NEWS UPDATE AT 10:30 AM

Member: ​​Good morning everyone!! Welcome to the weekend… Hope everyone has an amazing day!

Member: I love Roller Coasters - especially when they stop!

MZ: I do have some Wealth management/redemption contacts working tomorrow. I know a couple will be landing in a redemption area on Tuesday and they hope it’s to work and start 4b exchanges. They are trained to help with tier 4b.

MZ: There is a lot of hopeful movement out there. Let’s see if they actually get to do something.

Member: Boards are saying IQD going on Forex by Tuesday ... don't we RV first ?

Member: Mark, you got any information on bond movement or groups?

MZ: I do have some bond folks that have received some dollars. Not nearly enough have gone yet to release things to us. Not nearly enough large groups and large numbers of people have been completed yet. But money is moving …people have real dollars…..so to me it’s clear things are underway. I just don’t know why things are not moving faster????  

MZ: In the banks – they are starting to see rates populate again. They are telling me for the last 24 hours rates would fluctuate between $4.05 to $5 on the dinar. Don’t know if that is the real value or a placeholder….but many think that is where the dinar value should be. I would be perfectly content with that.

Member: That would be beyond wonderful…..

MZ: There is a also a very large US delegation will soon be arriving in Iraq. Roughly around Tuesday

Member: Looks like Tuesday could be a very big day.

Member: There is a rumor that 4b transactions have begun in Japan and south Africa?

MZ: I tried to confirm this but cannot find anyone in those markets that say things are happening.

MZ: “90 Trillion dinars are kept outside the banking system. What impact does it have on this economy?” They have taken almost half the dinar printed out of circulation over the last few years. They have greatly reduced the amount all around the world.

Member: I wonder if that 90 trillion includes us dinar holders ?

MZ:  Yes I wonder how much of that is held by us and is not in circulation? A lot is stuck under mattresses or in you and I’s safes and closets. When they revalue…all that dinar that is held all over the world (Which is an enormous amount of money.) they want back in circulation. An RV would fix this.  

MZ: Also : “ Electronic payment team in Iraq to Rudaw : 21 million cards distributed so far” A lot of digital banking going on right now. This is about half the population.

Member: Al-Sudani hands over the full completion of 1,000 schools in many governances!

Member: DOW yesterday still ended higher than on 4/30/24 (37,815.92). BTW- if tariffs hurt the economy why do 150+ Countries have them on US Products...

MZ: That is a good question.  They already have tarrifs on us and tell us not to do them. Our tariffs are equal to what they charge us or less….many are less than half. There is a lot of brainwashing and psychosis going on in main stream media. There is a complete disconnect between them and logic and common sense

Member: I heard Wall Street is blaming Trumps tariffs on the correction. It isn’t even below 2023 levels.

Member: the markets are completely overreacting to tariffs.

​​Member:  I read last night that Viet Nam went to 0 tariffs to USA 0 tarrffs on them!

Member: I asked A.I.  about the tariffs and if it could result in currency revaluations with gold or asset backed currencies. It gave some great answers that showed me Trump is heading that way.

Member: I heard subsequent baskets of currency revaluations will only be available to accredited investors?

MZ: That would not surprise me. But the good news is that after all of this…you guys will be accredited investors.

​​Member: Who else’s family thinks that the RV is pie in the sky never going to happen?

Member: I would bet most of us have “unbelievers” in our circle of families and friends.

Member: I am going to unplug about 99% when this rv finally goes. I am so tired of hearing about it at this point, but I know it's going to happen

Member: Everyone enjoy your weekend. Perhaps it’s our last weekend broke!!!

Member: My 2-week notice is ready to go …my finger is itching to push “send”

Member: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THOSE CELEBRATING TODAY OR TOMORROW!!!

Bruce  [via WiserNow]   Iraq needs...to get everything done by the 8th  of April...the RV as we call it - would be on or before the eighth of April...I believe they've already got everything that we know of accomplished. They've got lower denominations already in the ATMs and in the in the shops  and so on and they celebrated...so I think everything's ready from the perspective that we know of...I've heard everything is done. Of course, we've heard that a lot...but I believe it is finally done.

Frank26  IMO the revealing of the new exchange rate, the showing of the new lower notes must all be done together in coordination, in synchronization.  In the past I used to think that maybe we could have one and then the other followed by very quickly but based on what we're seeing, no, coordination, synchronization, together because if you do one, then you do the other.

Al-Sudani: Iraq Today Is Powerful, Strong, Healthy, And Advancing Against Expectations.

Friday, April 4, 2025, 4:40 PM | PoliticsNumber of reads: 144  Baghdad / NINA / Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani stressed: "Iraq today is powerful, strong, healthy and is progressing contrary to expectations."

Al-Sudani said during his meeting with a group of tribal sheikhs and dignitaries in Baghdad: "The country is witnessing an unprecedented phase of reconstruction and development," noting: "There are those who are trying to paint a picture of panic and defeatism in the souls of society."

He added: "The interest of Iraq and the Iraqis is the priority for the course of action of the government, and there is no room for courtesy with any internal or external party," indicating: "There are those who thrive on the rhetoric of discord and sectarianism, especially with the approach of the electoral process."

The Prime Minister continued: "The government has worked, from the beginning, on priorities based on the needs of the people, far from any personal or partisan goal.

There is a real will to achieve reforms, and we have come a significant way in it, in a time frame not exceeding two and a half years of the government's term, and we are all confident that Iraq's future is promising with its people, capabilities, resources and sound principle in managing the state."

On the economic front, Al-Sudani said, "The country's economy cannot be mortgaged to dependence on oil."

He explained, "The Ministry of Oil has begun laying the foundations for a project to transport gas from the Gulf to power stations."

Regarding the situation in Gaza, the Prime Minister stressed, "The Zionist aggression has exposed the international community's impotence in the face of daily scenes of killing."

He added, "The region has witnessed exceptional circumstances, and the government's handling of this crisis was the most difficult test of its kind. With wisdom and responsibility, we have achieved balance in dealing with developments in the Palestinian issue."

The Prime Minister congratulated those present on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, extending his thanks to Hajj Rahim Majiser Al-Baydani for the invitation. He also praised his role and social and humanitarian contributions, as well as his provision of aid and support to security services and displaced persons during the war on ISIS. He stressed that the tribes have always been with the state since its founding, starting with the 1920 Revolution, and their contributions and sacrifices will continue effectively at various stages and times.

He pointed to the role of the tribes and their honorable stand in responding to the call of the religious authority for the sufficient jihad, the call of the homeland, as all the sons of the tribes that bear the Iraqi color lined up in the trench of confrontation against terrorism. This stand came at a time when it was rumored that Iraq was finished as a state, only for the country to return safe and unified.

Al-Sudani stressed that the indication of the supreme religious authority that Iraqis have a civilizational and intellectual heritage that they must study, absorb and rely on is an appropriate indication, and that our country, with its civilization and resources, is capable of facing various challenges, stressing:

"Our talk about Iraq's recovery and that it is on the right path is a reassuring message to some alarmists who paint a picture of anxiety, panic and defeatism among the ranks of society." /End

A Government Advisor Warns Of The Effects Of The "Commercial Trumpism" Wave... And This Is The Fate Of The Budget Schedules.

Time: 2025/04/04 17:05:53 Read: 1,995 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed that the country's macroeconomic conditions are significantly affected by external shocks, particularly in Iraq's balance of payments.

Saleh pointed out to Al Furat News Agency the "need to intensify direct and continuous oversight and follow-up in two main directions."

He explained that "the first direction is to monitor the cycle of oil assets and re-evaluate them through cooperation with OPEC regarding prices and production quantities, while the other direction is related to maintaining the flow of foreign currency and protecting the country's reserves."

Saleh explained that "focusing on external balances in the economy must be accompanied by more discipline in internal financial and monetary adjustments, especially with regard to public spending.

He pointed out that this step has become more urgent to confront the repercussions of what he called "trade Trumpism," which has caused disruptions in energy markets, traded commodities, and global supply chains, so that the global economy will stabilize in the future on more stable foundations."

He stressed that "the budget schedules will remain committed to their basic constants, while taking into account the fluctuations in global oil markets with extreme caution.  LINK

Economist: Trump's Tariffs Do Not Include Oil And Gas, Making Iraq Immune To Their Impact.
 
    Time: 2025/04/04 23:58:20 Reading: 345 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} Economic expert Salah Nouri confirmed that the
 
customs duties announced by US President Donald Trump 
do not include oil, gas, and their derivatives,
 
which leaves Iraq immune from the impact of these duties. Nouri told Al Furat News that 
the current decline in oil prices is due to market fears of a trade war.
 
He explained that the outbreak of such a war could lead to a
 
     slowdown in global economic growth and, consequently, a
     decline in demand for oil and gas, particularly from China and India.  He pointed out that
 
Iraq is indirectly affected by the
 
     decline in oil prices, as well as the
     strict measures imposed by the US Treasury on dollar transfers resulting from oil sales, which are implemented by the US Federal Reserve.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

SEC EASES UP ON STABLECOINS — BUT NOT ALL OF THEM MAKE THE CUT

The U.S. SEC is taking a step back from certain stablecoins, saying they don’t count as securities — which basically means the agency won’t be regulating them like it does stocks or crypto tokens it sees as investments. This is a big shift and adds to the list of crypto areas the SEC is slowly letting go of, like memecoins and mining.

According to a post by Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, the SEC has introduced a new category called “Covered Stablecoins.” 

These digital coins are always equal in value to the U.S. dollar — one coin equals one dollar. To qualify, these coins must be backed by safe, easy-to-sell assets that match or exceed the amount of coins in circulation. This means they’re considered stable, safe, and easily redeemable for real dollars at any time.

The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance made it clear that these kinds of stablecoins are not being treated as investments. Because of that, they do not fall under the SEC’s jurisdiction — which is a big deal for projects trying to stay compliant while offering dollar-backed crypto.

However, this doesn’t apply to all stablecoins. The SEC says this guidance doesn’t include algorithmic stablecoins (which use code to keep their value stable), stablecoins that offer yield or interest, or coins tied to other assets like gold or foreign currencies. These other types might still be considered securities or face other regulations.

This new update is a positive step for regulated, dollar-backed stablecoins like USDC or PayPal’s PYUSD, giving them a bit more breathing room and clarity. But the rest of the stablecoin space still sits in a gray area.

But No Interest for Users

But there is something else that is very important to note: Even though stablecoin companies can make money (like through interest on their reserves), they’re not allowed to share that money with users. So, users won’t earn interest from holding these covered stablecoins.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong isn’t happy about that. He said he wants Congress to change the rules so users can earn interest without the coins being considered securities.

Circle Applauds, Congress Pushes Ahead

Circle President Heath Tarbert praised the SEC for its decision, saying that only stablecoins with real backing, like USDC, qualify. At the same time, Congress is working on stablecoin rules. Bills are moving through both the House and Senate with strong support from both parties.

As political discussions grow, with Trump supporters pushing their own crypto plans, everyone’s attention is on the SEC’s upcoming crypto summit, where trading will be a major focus.

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY SANCTIONS EIGHT CRYPTO WALLETS ALLEGEDLY TIED TO IRAN-BACKED HOUTHI REBELS

The U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has imposed sanctions against a network of financial facilitators and procurement operatives that provide supplies to the Houthis, an Iran-backed terrorist organization that has launched attacks against dozens of ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

In a statement, the OFAC says that it has taken action against a Houthi network working with Sa’id al-Jamal, a financial facilitator with ties to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF).

Al-Jamal’s network has procured millions worth of weapons and other commodities from Russia, including stolen Ukrainian grain, and shipped the goods to the Houthis in Yemen.

The new sanction includes eight crypto wallets that the OFAC says the Houthis used to transfer funds associated with their activities. The development makes it illegal to transact with these crypto addresses.

“Unless authorized by a general or specific license issued by OFAC or exempt, U.S. sanctions generally prohibit all transactions by US persons or within (or transiting) the United States that involve any property or interests in property of designated or otherwise blocked persons.”

According to the blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, two of the crypto addresses were already linked to Sa’id al-Jamal. The other wallets have ties to entities that Israel’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing (NBCTF) has flagged as involved in terrorist financing.

On-chain analysis likewise shows that millions of dollars’ worth of funds moved from these wallets to those belonging to other high-risk and OFAC-sanctioned entities, as well as manufacturers and sellers of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and anti-UAV equipment connected to China and Russia.

“Tidbits From TNT” Saturday Morning 4-5-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  A high-level US trade delegation is expected to visit Baghdad.

Iraq is anticipating the visit of a high-level US trade delegation comprising several major American companies. The visit is expected to strengthen relations between Washington and Baghdad in the areas of security, infrastructure, and energy.

This was announced by Farhad Alaa El-Din, the Sudanese Prime Minister's advisor for foreign affairs, on Friday, April 4, 2025. He explained that the delegation will arrive in Baghdad next week, and that an agreement is expected to be concluded between the American company General Electric and the Iraqi Ministry of Electricity to develop the electricity sector in Iraq.

The advisor noted that the agreement will help address Iraq's current electricity shortage, which stands at 48,000 megawatts.

Alaa El-Din added that the United States has significantly expanded its economic relations with Iraq over the past two and a half years, and that Washington is playing an increasingly important role in revitalizing the Iraqi economy.

The US delegation's visit was organized by the Iraqi Chamber of Commerce, and several agreements and memoranda of understanding are expected to be signed between the two sides, in addition to an agreement to develop the electricity sector.

Alaa El-Din also noted that Iraq seeks to leverage the capabilities of American companies to address the problem of flaring large quantities of associated gas due to the lack of adequate infrastructure.

The US trade delegation's visit comes amid US President Donald Trump's imposition of tariffs on several countries, including Iraq, which Trump announced on Wednesday night, April 2, 2025, at a rate of 39%. link

Tishwash:  With oil prices rapidly declining, a member of the parliamentary finance committee calls for amending the budget schedules.

Jamal Kocher, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, stressed the need to reconsider the 2025 budget schedule if oil prices continue to fall below $70 per barrel.

Kocher explained to Al Furat News Agency, "This matter depends on the price estimated in the budget, indicating that if the price per barrel is at $70, the current rates can be maintained."
He pointed out that "the final decision will be based on financial estimates of oil prices throughout the year, as the price can be maintained if studies indicate it rises above $70. However, if the price falls below this level, Kocher stressed the need for the government to review the financial schedules."

Kocher pointed out that "there is a real deficit in the budgets of previous years, 2023 and 2024, which requires careful handling of oil price fluctuations and their impact on the national economy."
Oil prices fell for the second day in a row, reaching their lowest levels in more than three years, after markets were shocked by the sudden increase in OPEC+ production, in addition to the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, which could lead to a reduction in global demand.

Brent crude, seen as a global benchmark for the oil market, has lost more than 10% in just two days, while US futures are trading at their lowest levels since May 2023, according to Bloomberg.
Brent has fallen to $65 a barrel.

These declines are the result of the tariff storm announced by Trump on Thursday, which threatens global economic growth and consumption.

Just hours after Trump's tariff announcement, the OPEC+ alliance announced a tripling of planned production for May. link

************

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani: Iraq is witnessing an unprecedented phase of reconstruction and development.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Friday, April 4, 2025, that: "Iraq is witnessing an unprecedented phase of reconstruction and development."

During his meeting today with a group of tribal sheikhs and dignitaries from various communities at the guest house of Hajj Rahim Majisar al-Baydani in Baghdad, Al-Sudani affirmed that "the tribes have always been with the state since its founding, beginning with the 1920 Revolution, and their contributions and sacrifices have continued effectively at various stages and times."

The Prime Minister pointed to "the role of the tribes and their honorable stance in responding to the religious authority's call for sufficient jihad, the call of the nation, as all members of the tribes that bear the Iraqi color lined up in the trench of confrontation against terrorism. This stance came at a time when it was rumored that Iraq had ended as a state, only for the country to return safe and unified."

Al-Sudani stressed that "the supreme religious authority's indication that Iraqis have a cultural and intellectual heritage that they must study, understand, and rely on is a fitting indication, and that our country, with its culture and resources, is capable of facing various challenges." He emphasized that "her talk about Iraq's recovery and being on the right path is a reassuring message to some alarmists who paint a picture of anxiety, panic, and defeatism among society."

He explained, "What we enjoy today is thanks to the sacrifices and honorable stances of the tribes, which we cannot forget. Iraq is strong, capable, healthy, and progressing, as attested to by all regional and international institutions." He indicated that "Iraq has an important pioneering role, and the reconstruction and development it is witnessing, from Basra to Nineveh, is an unprecedented phase."

He continued, "From the outset, the government has worked on priorities based on the needs of the people, far removed from any personal or partisan objectives. We cannot mortgage the country's future solely to oil, especially since Iraq possesses the potential for agriculture, industry, and tourism."

Al-Sudani stated, "Our country is distinguished by its geographical location as a global trade corridor. That's why we launched the Development Road project, and we are working day and night to achieve our commitment. We have the capabilities, resources, and determination to face various challenges."

He pointed out that "work is continuing on a project to transport gas to our power stations, and there is a genuine will to implement reforms, and we have made significant progress in this regard, in a timeframe not exceeding two and a half years of the government's term."

He continued, "The region has witnessed exceptional circumstances, and the government's greatest test was how to handle this crisis, given Iraq's principled position on the Palestinian issue. The continued Zionist aggression against the Palestinians has demonstrated the failure of the international community."

He explained, "We were able to preserve Iraq by acting wisely and responsibly to avoid slipping into the arena of war and conflict. Some emotional and hasty voices wanted Iraq to go to war and conflict."

The Prime Minister stressed that "the interests of Iraq and Iraqis are the government's top priority, and there is no room for favoritism toward any internal or external party." He explained that "the government's approach is to preserve the supreme interests of the state, and we have full hope that the clerics, tribal sheikhs, and elites will promote a discourse of unity, solidarity, and brotherhood among all members of society."

He continued, "There are those who thrive on the rhetoric of sedition, crisis, and conspiracies, and we must pay attention to this matter, especially with the upcoming elections. We are confident that Iraq's future is promising, thanks to its people, capabilities, resources, and sound principles for governing the state."  link

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 4-3-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 4-3-25

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Thursday, April 3rd and you're listening to the big call. Thanks for tuning in everybody out there in big call universe, thank you for being faithful to listen to the big call for all these 13 plus yes into our 14th year

We're going to have a good call tonight. I'm excited. I hope you are. And I'm looking forward to bringing out some news. Let's get into some intel all right. now, i would like to talk first of all because jeannie reminded me of  and Sue reminding me of course, again about the med beds. So here's what is new about the med beds since Tuesday. We have 18,000 Med bed centers in the United States - Each center has two med beds in it, so 18 times two, that's 36,000 med beds in 18,000 centers across the country.

Well, that sounds like a lot. Yeah, that's that's a lot over the country with our population, I can see now, where it would get pretty busy - Now what about people that are homebound, that kind of a bed bound or in hospice or situations like that ?

Guess what they have come up, it started six months ago. I find out about it yesterday, six months ago, they have 8000  mobile med bed units ready to roll. They are in used UPS  box trucks, you know, used FedEx trucks. FedEx is still and in some box ambulances as well.

So even though somebody roars up the street in an ambulance, Everybody looks out the window and says it's going to so and so's house. I wonder. You know what's going on? Well, that's why the UPS and FedEx, addition to ambulances , it's everybody used to see in FedEx and UPS trucks. So it's not going to be anything that seems out of the ordinary, but these mobile units will be able to go to the homes of people that are bed bound, or wheelchair bound, or whatever. Just easier to access them

They are supposed to roll out as well as the Med bed centers being available starting the ninth or 10th of April.  Now, the 10th would be a week from today. Ninth would be the day before, which would be Wednesday. So that's terrific news that we didn't know until today. Med bed mobile units and med beds available  starting the ninth or 10th of April.  So that's really the med bed news I had to bring.

So where are we.  Intel has been a little bit fractured, a little bit unable to assimilate quite everything into a perfect puzzle, but every day, I've been getting a puzzle piece that's coming in and allowing this picture to be completed. And I'm just going to go, not go back a full week or a couple of days, but just say today, the algorithms for the 800 numbers have been loaded.

The emails addresses with the toll free numbers are loaded. But there was an issue today with funds that were sent from HSBC. These were bond funds sent from HSBC to Wells Fargo. And there was a there was a snafu problem. It got solved and it got rectified sometime this afternoon, and I am supposed to receive the 800 number anytime now. In fact, it looked like I was going to have it for tonight's call.

It looks like I didn't get it by tonight, so I was hoping to be able to put it out tonight on the call – that’s how close we are -

Now is it going to be tomorrow? I don’t know - I would say it should be based on what I heard  following  but we will have  to see. Now I'm going to tell you guys we’re very close on that.

I did hear something I'm not quite 100% comfortable with, which is interesting, and I think I should tell you guys, all right, let's say we put the 800 number out on the website, right? Big call universe.com, and if Bob gets Raleigh to send out an email blast to the people that want the toll free number sent through their email, we do that assuming that we're allowed to - We believe we will.

And you're going to be getting emails from Wells Fargo servers. They know who the currency holders are. They know who the Zim holders are, etc. So they're going to be sending those out.

And let's say we get them. In fact, let's even say we get them tomorrow, maybe noon, maybe four o'clock, whenever we get them, and we call to set our appointments. Now what I'm understanding is that we'll set the appointments, but we'll call it in to set the appointment.

We'll go all the way to the redemption center. They'll talk to us, and then they will notify us in I'm going to say, three days or so as to when our actual appointment  will be -- the day time of day time and day

Now what's strange about that is if the numbers came out in the morning  and we called, we thought we'd go in immediately, right then  boom, even tomorrow afternoon or Saturday, right? But the information I'm getting is saying that there's a slight wait where they're going to call us  to to let us know when the appointment actually will be.

And I've said a long time ago to several people in getting  the toll free numbers half the battle, or in a way, we're over 50% there when we get the 800 number. But why would they wait a few days to let us know exactly when our appointment would be, why, and I think they figured it out yesterday.

I think what they're doing is they're just going to vet us as KYC, know your customer type rules to make sure that the deep state is not getting in, they're not going to get in for this exchange.

The other reason is, remember, well, there were a number, and I think the number was about 26,000 bonds. That were bogus, whatever you want to call them. They could not match them up to owners or powers of attorney representatives of the bonds, and they just literally or they were bogus.

 Well, it took a while. They took about  two days go through all those and they found out who the people were  that put those bonds out, in they were bogus, and picked them up. The rest of them already.

Well, that was a slight delay. That was a day and a half delay. So there are these little things, and we're at a very, very high security level, DEF CON one is the highest level of readiness for our military. And there have been meetings going on with, with more ad meetings going on with, with the Treasury, military, all of this stuff as they're going through and running algorithms and running programs to see that we're good to go. And like I said, we were just about there before the call to where  I kind of thought I'd like to get the number tonight.

So that being said, we're that close, and we need to keep pushing forward and for the 800 numbers to come, and then the next best thing to put it out tonight is going to be getting up with Bob and Raleigh and putting it to make sure we have the number correct and put it out on big call universe.com website.

Now Bob, here's the question

This number is primarily for the United States, and I believe Canada can  use it, but it's really not for the rest of the world, which would include Latin America, which would include Europe, which would include the Far East  Middle East -  so now,its not going to do any good –

Now - even with the amount of listeners that we have  for big call  universe - Bob, can our servers withstand people going to our site to pick up that 800 number.

I don't know how much the traffic will be, but I believe it would could be substantial. We'll see. But that's it's a real question, and I hope that that, you know the number, I'll give it to people that I have contacts for, and Sue can get it out. And you know, we'll get it out, able to do it for the big call like we're talking right now.

So let's see what happens tomorrow. Listen, and there might be a way I'm thinking out loud , there might be a way to do a special call and get it out.

SUE:  Can I ask a question here? Here's, here's what I want to make clear, you said you asked Bob whether so the whole purpose, first of all, they're going to get an email from Wells Fargo. That's number one.  The people that bought the currency, they will get an email. That's their number one thing,

So please, don't worry, but I just wanted to let everybody know there is another piece I mean, that President Trump, spoken with the head of the CBI, which is really Bank of Iraq, and that is Iraq, and also Dr Shabibi, the former director of the CBI. He spoke to both of those gentlemen have said that this needs to go out, that Iraq needs everything that they need to do, which I understand was already done, but they need to get everything done the 8th  of April

I think they it was, they had to have that the RV as we call it -  would be on or before the eighth of April, on or before -  so I think that that is kind of a mute point. I believe they've already got everything that we know of accomplished. They've got lower denominations already in the ATMs and in the in the shops  and so on and they celebrated .

And they just finished up another, you know, Islamic holiday they wrapped up. I believe that was Tuesday that that wrapped up. And so I think everything's ready from the perspective that we know of.

And then we're hearing from our Iraqi contacts, so we'll see. I think the main thing I wanted to get across the concept of when you call set your appointment, the fact that they are looking to call you back with your appointment time and date maybe, for verification

okay I call in, you'll go or gives you another number called a redemption center that's indicated by your zip code, and you get connected to a live person at the redemption center.

Ostensibly, this would be a person that would help you for your exchange redemption of zim. So that person takes your information down, and from what I understand, they contact you back two, three days later, the actual time  and date of  your  exchange – It’s like a confirmation of the  appointment.

This was totally new that I heard about yesterday  - completely new piece of the puzzle – and  we'll see how that comes together. That's what I'm hearing is going to happen. So we will see what that looks like. Until we get back, maybe they notify us by my phone call, and or email, but I understand we're supposed to call you back with your appointment time day, like a verification of it.

So let's see. Let's see what happens.

I think that's everything that I had independently covered tonight. And I feared when we're just close and we're almost one of the one of the sources we had that we were at the finish at the finish line, but we need to cross that we need to cross it. like you will run through the tape, so we're at the finish, and I've heard everything is done. Of course, we've heard that a lot of bad phrase, everything's done, but I believe it is finally done. And now we have to execute our part of it with faith and with action  once the numbers are available.

All right, thanks. Everybody really enjoyed the call tonight, and I hope you did too. I hope we all learned something, and now let's go ahead and pray the  call out.
