Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 5-1-25

The Rise In The Value Of The National Currency Has Local And International Causes
 
Economic 04/27/2025  Baghdad: Hussein Thaghab   The Iraqi dinar's exchange rate against the US dollar has witnessed a  significant improvement over the current period, supported by a number of internal and external factors.
 

Most notably, the
 
     country's large financial reserves, the
     prudent monetary policies pursued by the Central Bank of Iraq, and
     signs of a thaw in US-Iranian relations have
 
combined to boost the value of the national currency.
 
Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Dr. Ammar Hamad, said that the
improvement in the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate against the dollar in local markets
is due to the central bank's recent policy. He added that
 
Financial Reserves
 
the country's massive financial reserves are one of the main reasons
behind the improvement in the value of the dinar against the dollar, and
 
we expect the dinar's value to continue to improve in the coming period. He pointed out that
 
the Central Bank of Iraq is working to consolidate the national currency
by adopting policies that are consistent with Iraq's
 
     financial capabilities and the
     requirements of the national economy.
 
Dollar Flow
 
Dr. Nabil Al-Abadi said:
 
“The past few days have witnessed a significant improvement in the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar,
which is the result of a combination of internal and external factors.
 
On the monetary policy side, the Central Bank has taken strict measures, including
 
     restricting the flow of dollars through auction platforms and
     imposing strict oversight on banks. It has also
     raised the interest rate on dinar deposits,
     which has stimulated the transfer of some cash liquidity.
 

External Factors, such as the
 
     improvement in oil prices and the
     accompanying increase in foreign reserves,
 
have also contributed to this improvement.”  He added that
 
Stabilization
 
these measures, while effective in achieving short-term stability, remain subject to several risks.
 
The Iraqi economy's dependence on oil revenues makes it hostage to global market fluctuations.
 
Furthermore, some austerity measures, such as
import restrictions,
could negatively impact citizens' purchasing power
if they are not accompanied by policies that support local production. He stated that
 
Productive Sectors
 
ensuring the sustainability of this improvement requires structural reforms,
starting with
     diversifying the economic base and
     reducing dependence on oil, through
     developing productive sectors such as agriculture and industry.
 
This also requires
 
     a comprehensive overhaul of the banking system and
     simplifying customs procedures to boost non-oil exports, as well as
     enhancing investment confidence through stabilizing legislative policies. He stated that
 
improving the exchange rate is not an end in itself,
but rather must be a starting point for deeper economic reform.
 
International experience demonstrates that
sustainable monetary stability can only be achieved
through a productive economy capable of confronting external shocks.

Global Pressure
 
Financial expert Dr. Mustafa Akram emphasized that
 
while there is a reason for the
gap between the official exchange rate and the parallel exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar,
the gap has its causes. He pointed out that the
 
opening up between the United States and the Islamic Republic has eased global pressure on remittances to Iran,
 
     reducing demand for the dollar in local markets and
     strengthening the value of the national currency.
 
This coincides with ample supply from the Central Bank in the form of remittances and
other forms of financing, which necessitates strengthening this phase. He pointed out the
 
Electronic Card
 
importance of the Central Bank of Iraq taking action to
 
     reach an agreement with the United States and
     establish an official platform for transactions by
     creating an electronic payment card for use in Iran, Russia, and other sanctioned countries.
 
This would reduce demand for dollars, he noted, noting that
 
this would
 
     serve small traders and travelers,
     address many problems,
     reduce smuggling and illegal trade, and
     increase the value of the local currency.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

COULD THE SEC SETTLE WITH RIPPLE LAWSUIT USING XRP?

▪️John Squire suggests SEC might settle Ripple case by accepting XRP instead of cash.

▪️Delaying XRP ETF approval could help SEC avoid rising prices before settlement deal.

▪️June 17 ETF delay might be part of SEC’s calculated move, says Squire.

A surprising idea is gaining attention in the crypto world as social media influencer John Squire suggests that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could be planning to settle its lawsuit with Ripple by accepting XRP tokens instead of cash.

Will the SEC truly accept XRP as a payment? Let’s find out!

Delaying ETF Could Be a Strategic Move

In a recent tweet that’s now widely shared, John Squire suggests that the SEC could be delaying the approval of XRP spot ETFs on purpose. Because if they plan to settle the Ripple lawsuit using XRP, they wouldn’t want the price of XRP to shoot up too early.

And that’s exactly what could happen if a spot ETF is approved right now. Unlike a futures ETF, a spot ETF buys XRP directly. That demand would send the price soaring, possibly making XRP too expensive for a favorable government settlement.

Therefore, to keep XRP’s price lower, there has been a delay in the settlement process.

If XRP Is Used as Payment

The theory comes after journalist Eleanor Terrett confirmed that the SEC had delayed its decision on Franklin Templeton’s XRP spot ETF until June 17. Squire argues that this delay is not a coincidence but part of a broader strategy.

Squire says that if the SEC accepts XRP as payment, it would show they no longer see it as illegal. He also points out it wouldn’t make sense for the U.S. government to take payment in something they say is not allowed.

Such a settlement could also lead to regulatory clarity for XRP, encourage institutional investment, and possibly mark the beginning of a new bull run for the token.

XRP Price Outlook

As of now, XRP is trading around $2.20, reflecting a drop of 0.63%, with a market cap hitting $129.13 billion.  However, the 1-day chart suggests that if XRP goes above $2.40, it could start a strong upward trend toward $2.60 or even $2.90. But if it falls below $2, it might trigger more big sell-offs.

NORTH CAROLINA HOUSE PASSES STATE CRYPTO INVESTMENT BILL

North Carolina’s House passed a bill to allow the state treasurer to invest government funds in approved cryptocurrencies with a 71 to 44 vote.

North Carolina’s House of Representatives has passed a bill allowing the state’s treasurer to invest public funds in approved cryptocurrencies, which will now head to the Senate.

The House passed the Digital Assets Investment Act, or House Bill 92, on its third reading on April 30 by a vote of 71 to 44.

Republican House Speaker Destin Hall introduced the bill in February, which would allow the treasurer to allocate 5% of the state’s investments into designated digital assets.

The investments can only be made after obtaining an independent third-party assessment confirming that the crypto holdings are maintained with a secure custody solution and risk oversight and regulatory compliance standards are met.

New amendments allow the treasurer to examine the feasibility of allowing members of retirement and deferred compensation plans to elect to invest in digital assets held as exchange-traded products (ETPs).

The House also passed a related bill, the State Investment Modernization Act, or HB 506, with little discussion on April 30, in a 110 to 3 vote.

The bill aims to create the North Carolina Investment Authority (NCIA) to take over investment management from the treasurer.

If passed into law, the authority to invest in digital assets would transfer from the treasurer to NICA, and approval would be required from its board of directors based on third-party assessments to make crypto investments.

Local news outlet NC Newsline reported that Treasurer Brad Briner supports both bills.

Arizona leads the crypto bill race

North Carolina is second to Arizona in the state-level race to approve legislation allowing local governments to invest in cryptocurrencies.

On April 28, Arizona’s House approved two bills, SB 1025 and SB 1373, proposing different methods for the state to establish a crypto reserve.

Arizona is the only state whose House and Senate have passed crypto-related bills, which are both awaiting Governor Katie Hobbs’ decision.

SWIFT Just Said the Quiet Part out Loud

589bull:  5-1-2025

SWIFT just said the quiet part out loud:

“Tokens allow messaging and settlement to be collapsed into one.”

Translation? The old financial system just admitted it’s cooked.

For decades, banks played a game.

First they’d send a message (SWIFT). Then — hours or even days later — they’d move the money. Two separate layers. Two sets of fees. Two opportunities to stall, skim, and manipulate.

That game’s over.

With tokenized value? There’s no delay, no middleman, no second layer.

When the message is sent — the value moves with it. No waiting. No clearing house. No FX trap.

It’s one move. One strike. Final.

This is exactly what XRP was designed for. Same with XDC and QNT.

Real-time settlement. Frictionless. Immutable. And now SWIFT’s basically admitting they’re switching to that model — after fighting it for years.

Funny how that works.

Now Iraq.

They’ve got a locked-up budget, a brand new CBI headquarters, and a digital banking system syncing up as we speak.

You think they’re doing all that for another decade of 1,300-to-1 rates?

Come on.

This isn’t just about payments. It’s about control.

Once settlement and messaging collapse into one, the middlemen collapse too. That means real money moves start happening without IMF approval, without central bank delays, and without SWIFT’s gatekeeping.

This is how the reset happens.

Not with an announcement.
Not with a press release.

It happens when the plumbing flips behind the scenes… And they start talking like the new system is already live.

SWIFT just did.

Watch liquidity.
Watch corridors.
Watch Iraq.

Because when they say “collapsed into one”, what they’re really saying is:

The storm’s not coming. You’re standing in it.

Sandy Ingram   As you know the Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein left for Washington D.C. to meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday.  But what you many not know is the huge request the Iraqi Foreign Minister had for the United States...The visit signals a deepening partnership between the two nations, which is a good thing for IQD investors.  But the interesting factor that was finally revealed about the meetings was Iraq's request.  Iraq asked the US to reconsider travel warnings ...A move that could make it easier for investors to travel freely to the country...   [Post 1 of 2...stay tuned]

Sandy Ingram  Hussein stressed that the current "Level 4 - Do Not Travel" advisory is hurting Iraq's chances of attracting American businesses and investment.  He explained Iraq's situation has improved significantly and continuing to label Iraq as highly dangerous just doesn't reflect the new reality on the ground anymore...Hussein pointed out some European countries have already updated their travel advisories for Iraq...As of now, it's unclear whether the Untied States will agree to remove or lower the travel warning...If Washington does choose to reconsider it would mark a major step toward opening Iraq's doors wider to American investors and businesses.  Guys this is major!   [Post 2 of 2]

Tishwash:  Fuad Hussein arrives in Oman to exchange views on "current challenges"

Fuad Hussein arrives in Oman to exchange views on "current challenges"
The Iraqi Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the arrival of its Minister, Fuad Hussein, to the Omani capital, Muscat, on an official visit aimed at strengthening bilateral cooperation between the two countries.

The ministry said in a statement that "Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein is scheduled to hold meetings during the visit with a number of Omani officials, most notably the Omani Minister of Foreign Affairs, Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi, to exchange views on regional and international developments and current challenges."

The statement indicated that the Iraqi Ambassador to Muscat, Qais Al Ameri, and embassy staff attended the reception ceremony.  link

Tishwash:  The majority of Iraq's financial assets are in US dollars. Al-Sudani's advisor discusses linking Iraqi banks to US banks.

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, advisor to the Prime Minister for Financial Affairs, spoke about the repercussions of linking Iraqi banks to American banks.

As long as Iraq is within the dollar zone like other OPEC countries, with the US dollar constituting the majority of its financial assets from oil revenues, it is in our country’s interest to deal equally with the US commercial banking system as a global correspondent power for national banks, especially when dealing with more than one US bank operating globally (Global Bank) that has major global branches and arms, ” Saleh said in a press statement followed by Al-Jabal.

He pointed out that "the Central Bank of Iraq's efforts to link national banks with major banks and financial institutions in the United States, with more than one bank that enjoys international standing, is an important means of providing economic stability and improving the investment, trade, and development climate in our country through integration with the dollar trade, banking, and investment zone, which remains one of the strongest and most important monetary zones in the world."

He stressed  that "reducing the costs of foreign banking transactions requires direct banking cooperation with more than one American (Global) bank, and that the Central Bank of Iraq is moving in the right, open, and rapid direction in assessing its priorities to serve the stability of the national economy at the level of foreign banking transactions and implementing them with the required speed and high guarantees ."

He pointed out that "the second American bank is responsible for providing opportunities for Iraqi banks as a global correspondent bank with multiple branches and operations to quickly implement banking operations, whether in transfers or financing foreign trade for our country's markets, without obstacles and with transparency and high governance. In addition, it provides financing and credit lines for trade and investment in Iraq, as well as benefiting from digital banking services and highly advanced international standards, which will bring our national banks to the required global level.

These are factors that encourage the investment and business climate in our country at the same time, in the midst of integration and cooperation with the international banking system."  link

Tishwash:  KRG official publicly criticizes Iraq’s Trade Bank over delays to ATM rollout and bank cards

 A senior official in the Kurdistan Regional Government publicly criticized Iraq’s Trade Bank on Wednesday, citing significant delays and insufficient cooperation in the rollout of a high-profile digital banking initiative intended to modernize public salary payments.

The initiative, known as My Account, launched in September 2023, aiming to allow government employees in the Kurdistan Region to receive salaries digitally via bank-issued cards, reducing dependency on cash and increasing financial transparency. TBI was among several banks selected for participation.

“We are pleased to announce that the Trade Bank of Iraq is now part of the My Account project to digitize salary payments in the Kurdistan Region,” the ministry had said in a statement last year. Although welcomed in May 2024 by the Kurdistan Ministry of Finance, TBI’s participation has become a source of concern.

Nearly a year later, officials say the bank has fallen short of its commitments.

Aziz Ahmed, deputy chief of staff to KRG Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and the official leading the My Account team, spoke candidly to 964media. “It’s true, this is the first time we are publicly expressing our concerns about one of the banks in the My Account project, which is TBI,” he said. “But the scale of the issues with this bank can no longer be overlooked.”

Ahmed explained that the KRG has been waiting for over a year for TBI to fulfill a pledge to install 100 ATMs. “Despite over 40,000 requests from public employees in the Kurdistan Region to open accounts with the bank, the ATM installation process hasn’t moved forward, and the issuance of My Account cards has also been delayed,” he said.

The delay, according to Ahmed, is not just administrative but has practical consequences. “The delay in delivering ATMs and distributing bank cards has affected the speed of the banking rollout and has harmed public employees in the region,” he said.

Other banks participating in the program have also experienced occasional technical setbacks, but those were typically resolved without long-term disruption. “The level of difficulty we’ve had with TBI is different and ongoing,” Ahmed said. “Issues faced by other banks, such as temporary ATM outages, were addressed and solved. That has not been the case with TBI.”

According to the latest data obtained by 964media from the My Account project, there are approximately 650 ATMs available across the Kurdistan Region—many newly installed as part of the initiative. The project aims to expand this network to over 1,200 ATMs, reaching beyond major cities to include towns and remote areas.

This expansion is intended to ease salary access for the Kurdistan Regional Government’s 1.2 million public sector employees—roughly one ATM for every 1000 workers.

Eight banks are currently participating: BBAC, Cihan Bank, RT Bank, Bank of Baghdad, Iraqi Islamic Bank, National Bank of Iraq, Trade Bank of Iraq, and the International Development Bank.

964media has learned that the project has registered around 750,000 employees so far, with more than 450,000 having received their bank cards, enabling them to withdraw salaries from ATMs after being paid directly to their individual bank accounts.

The project has vowed to register all public sector employees for digital banking accounts by the end of this year.

Ahmed said the KRG has formally raised the issue with both the Central Bank of Iraq and the office of Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani. “Despite our repeated official communications and efforts to resolve the problems with the bank at the highest levels, the response and cooperation have not met expectations.”

Frustrated by the lack of progress, the KRG has opted to go public. “The lack of a satisfactory outcome from those efforts has left us no choice but to make our concerns public in the spirit of transparency,” Ahmed said.

My Account functions as an alternative to Baghdad’s Tawtin (localization) program. In February 2024, Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court ruled that salaries for public employees in the Kurdistan Region must be paid directly by the federal government, rather than through the KRG’s allocated share of the national budget.

In September 2024, public sector workers in Erbil and Sulaymaniyah expressed growing frustration as some ATMs ran out of cash, leaving many unable to access their delayed wages. However, officials overseeing the My Account project say those problems have since been addressed and that the system is now operating more smoothly. There have been no reports of widespread issues since.  link

Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Wednesday Afternoon 4-30-25

Government Advisor: Linking National Banks With Their American Counterparts Provides A Means For Economic Stability.

Money and Business  Economy News – Baghdad  Prime Minister's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Wednesday that linking up with US banks provides financing and credit lines for trade and investment in Iraq. He also explained that direct cooperation with more than one US bank reduces the costs of foreign transactions.

Kurdistan Complains To The Central Bank About TBI's Breach Of The ATM Agreement.

Aziz Ahmed, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Kurdistan Regional Government's Prime Minister's Office, announced that a formal complaint has been filed against the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI) with the Central Bank of Iraq and the Ministry of Finance in Baghdad, citing its failure to honor an agreement signed last year to install 100 new ATMs in the region.

Ahmed explained in a post on the X platform that the bank has not fulfilled its commitment despite the agreement having been signed a year ago. He pointed out that TBI has received more than 40,000 applications from KRG employees under the "My Account" financial inclusion program, but has neither issued a purchase order nor completed the printing of their cards.

Ahmed emphasized that the KRG is deeply concerned about this delay, especially since new customers expect a better level of service from the country's leading government bank. https://www.radionawa.com/all-detail.aspx?jimare=41739

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

UK DECIDES TO ALIGN WITH US RATHER THAN EU OVER CRYPTO REGULATION: INTRODUCES NEW RULES

Amidst fear of losing ground to global fintech hubs, the UK has announced new draft regulations for the crypto sector.

On 29 April 2025, Finance Minister Rachel Reeves said, “Through our Plan for Change, we are making Britain the best place in the world to innovate – and the safest place for consumers. Robust rules around crypto will boost investor confidence, support the growth of Fintech and protect people across the UK.”

The UK government is now introducing compulsory regulation for crypto exchanges, dealers, and agents.

Importantly, the UK has decided to align with the US, treating crypto assets as securities. This marks a departure from the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, which took effect in December 2024.

“The Chancellor also revealed that the UK and US will use the upcoming UK – US Financial Regulatory Working Group to continue engagement to support the use and responsible growth of digital assets,” the UK government website said.

The government aims to finalize the legislation by the end of 2025.

UK’s Clear New Rules To Boost Investor Confidence

Furthermore, the Chancellor also revealed that discussions with the US about supporting the use and responsible growth of digital assets are underway, as the government works in national interest to drive growth through Plan for Change.

The Chancellor also announced that the government will publish the first-ever Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy on 15 July, alongside her Mansion House speech. This will support the financial services sector’s long term growth, with Fintech identified as a priority sector, and help it finance investment and growth across the UK.

Around 12% of UK adults now own or have owned crypto, up from just 4% in 2021.

Industry Leaders Urge UK To Address Urgent Concerns Around Regulation, Funding, Innovation

Despite the government’s efforts, several fintech and crypto executives have expressed concern that the UK is losing its competitive edge.

“I think the UK will get it right — but there is a risk if you get it wrong that you drive innovation to other markets,” Keith Grose, Coinbase’s UK head, revealed CNBC on 30 April 2025.

Meanwhile, Jaidev Janardana, CEO of digital bank Zopa, weighed in too. “If I consider the pace of innovation, I believe the US is currently ahead – despite its own set of challenges. Yet, when you look at places like Singapore and Hong Kong, there is significantly faster innovation,” he said.

Tim Levene, CEO of venture capital firm Augmentum Fintech, said, “We’re scrambling around looking for pots of capital in the UK, where currently it would be more fruitful to go to the Gulf, to go to the US, to go to Australia, or elsewhere in Asia, and that that doesn’t feel right.”

BRICS MAY PUSH GOLD PRICE TO $6,000 AS US TRADE WAR TALKS PERSIST

With continued geopolitical unrest, the rush to haven assets has been an undeniable reality. That could benefit one economic alliance that has sought out a US dollar alternative for much of the last year. Indeed, the BRICS alliance may push the gold price to heights of $6,000 as talks of an impending US trade war persist.

Since its unveiling of sweeping global tariffs in early April, tension between the US and China has reached a fever pitch. Moreover, that has created increased conflict within the alliance itself, as the group has recently failed to deliver a joint statement. Yet, all eyes are on gold, as the developments could only fuel the asset that BRICS nations have purchased rampantly throughout the last year.

BRICS May Push Gold to New Heights Amid US Tensions

Since he emerged victorious in the 2025 US presidential election, Donald Trump has expressed his issues with the BRICS alliance. He threatened 150% tariffs on the bloc for their role in global de-dollarization efforts. Although that didn’t come to fruition, China is facing import duty increases of up to 245% amid its recent roll-out of America-first trade policies.

These could only strengthen the Global South collective, however, as the policy reshapes the international economy. Indeed, the BRICS bloc may push the gold price to $6,000 as talks of a US trade war persist.

US Global Investors CEO and executive chairman of Hive Digital Technologies, Frank Holmes, recently discussed gold’s potential. “I think the goal should be going to $6,000 over the term for President Trump,” Holmes said. “If the tariffs go up 25%, then the dollar has to go down 25%,” Holmes added.

The expert was articulating the reality that the ongoing economic policy and the greenback have an adverse relationship. Since he entered office, the US dollar has plummeted 10% over the first 100 days of Trump. Moreover, BRICS, and China specifically, have ramped up gold buying.

The People’s Bank of China has been the largest covering buyer of gold for more than five straight months. Moreover, in Q1 alone, it added 27 tonnes to its reserves, making it the largest holder in modern history. Trading at the $3,300 level, there is room for the asset to skyrocket, especially if the Trump tariff plan is resumed in the coming month.

This was the sixth cabinet meeting regarding the implementation of conclusions and directives issued by the Party Central Committee, the Politburo, and General Secretary Tô Lâm on adapting to the US’ new tariff policies, in which Việt Nam is subject to a 46 per cent rate.

 PM Chính stated that Việt Nam had recently implemented a wide range of active and coordinated measures. Ministries and sectors have engaged with the highest sense of responsibility. The results so far are heading in a positive direction, yet the situation remains complex, requiring agencies to closely monitor developments, respond promptly and effectively, and address issues within their jurisdiction in a proactive, practical, and feasible manner.

Vietnamese agencies have been making great efforts to address issues related to the origin of goods, non-tariff barriers, intellectual property, copyright, and administrative procedure reduction.

 PM Chính has instructed ministries and sectors to be proactive in working with the US, clearly explaining the issues of US concern that Việt Nam has been addressing.

He urged the swift negotiation and signing, by May 2025, of contracts for the purchase and import of goods from the United States, such as LNG, aircraft, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, and agricultural products, to ensure a sustainable trade balance.

 PM Chính emphasised that negotiations must be conducted with calmness, determination, and great flexibility – avoiding either perfectionism or haste – while safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and interests.

 The negotiations must also honour Việt Nam’s international commitments, ensuring no one objective is pursued at the expense of another party or country, and adhering to the principle of “harmonised interests, shared risks”.

He requested Vietnamese agencies to engage in dialogue with the US so that both sides could reduce tariffs on each other’s goods to mutually appropriate levels. He also called on the US to soon recognise Việt Nam as a market economy and lift restrictions on the export of high-tech goods.

These measures would contribute to trade balance and technology transfer, while reflecting US’s support for a strong, independent, self-reliant, and prosperous Việt Nam. Việt Nam will continue to revise its legal framework to address US’ concerns, while ensuring sovereignty, fulfilling international commitments, and maintaining compatibility with the legal systems of both countries.

The Government leader noted that Việt Nam had recently focused on amending numerous laws. At the upcoming ninth session of the National Assembly, the Government will submit proposals to amend laws related to intellectual property, copyright protection, and administrative procedure reform to better reflect the current context.

Việt Nam is also working closely with ASEAN and regional partners to conduct negotiations in a manner that ensures harmonised interests and a sustainable, balanced trade relationship, in line with the ASEAN–US Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. PM Chính instructed each relevant ministry and agency to develop specific negotiation plans, and tasked the Ministry of Industry and Trade with consolidating and finalising these plans by April 30. — VNS LINK

Militia Man   Article: ..."the country's massive financial reserves are one of the main reasons behind the improvement in the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar.  We expect the dinar's value to continue to improve in the coming period."  That' kind of a heads up without saying, 'Hey, we're revaluing our currency!'

When Trump is Finished, Federal Reserve will be Insignificant, Long Live Gold and Bitcoin

X22 Report (with Bob Kudla):  4-29-2025

Bob begins the conversation talking about how Germany is going to block out the sun, which means solar power will not work they way they said it will to power the country.

Gold and Bitcoin are making moves as the fiat currency implodes on itself.

Oil is going to come down to counter the tariff temp price increase, but when the temp price increase is gone because companies are paying for it people are going to see prices come down.

In the end the Federal Reserve will be insignificant.

Some Iraq News Posted by Clare at KTFA 4-30-2025

KTFA:

Clare:  Government advisor: Linking national banks with their American counterparts provides a means for economic stability.

4/30/2025  - Baghdad

Prime Minister's advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Wednesday that linking up with US banks provides financing and credit lines for trade and investment in Iraq. He also explained that direct cooperation with more than one US bank reduces the costs of foreign transactions.

“As long as Iraq is within the dollar zone like other OPEC countries, with the US dollar constituting the majority of its financial assets from oil revenues

(t is in our country’s interest to deal equally with the US commercial banking system as a global correspondent for national banks, especially when dealing with more than one US bank operating globally (Global Bank) that has major global branches and arms,” Saleh said in a statement reported by the official news agency and seen by Al-Eqtisad News.

He added, "The Central Bank of Iraq's efforts to link national banks with major banks and financial institutions in the United States, with more than one bank that enjoys international standing, is an important means of providing economic stability and improving the investment, trade, and development climate in our country through integration with the dollar trade, banking, and investment zone, which remains, without a doubt, one of the strongest and most important monetary zones in the world."

He pointed out that "reducing the costs of foreign banking transactions today requires direct banking cooperation with more than one American bank (Global), and that the Central Bank of Iraq is moving in the right, open, and rapid direction in assessing its priorities to serve the stability of the national economy at the level of foreign banking transactions and implementing them with the required speed and high guarantees."

Saleh explained that "the second American bank provides opportunities for Iraqi banks as a global correspondent bank with multiple branches and operations to quickly implement banking operations, whether in transfers or financing foreign trade for our country's markets, without obstacles and with transparency and high governance.

 In addition, it provides financing and credit lines for trade and investment in Iraq, as well as benefiting from digital banking services and highly advanced international standards, which will bring our national banks to the required global level.

These are factors that encourage the investment and business climate in our country at the same time, in the midst of integration and cooperation with the international banking system."   LINK

Clare:  Iran announces cooperation with Iraq on oil, associated gas, and offshore exploration.

4/30/2025

Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad announced on Wednesday the signing of four joint cooperation documents with Iraq in the oil and gas sector.

In a statement to reporters today, Paknejad said that he had visited Iraq two weeks ago at the invitation of the Iraqi oil minister, during which four cooperation documents were signed.

He added, "Two of these documents are in the form of cooperation plans, including implementation and participation regarding the collection of associated gases in Maysan Governorate and near the border, which could not be released due to a lack of raw materials," adding that "if this project is implemented, it will be possible to launch it."

The Iranian oil minister continued, saying, "There is also another issue related to joint work on offshore exploration operations in areas shared within Iraqi territorial waters and studies related to developing the Khorramshahr field, which is shared with the Sinbad field in Iraq. Documents have been signed in this regard."

Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad arrived in Baghdad on Monday, April 14, for a two-day official visit at the invitation of his Iraqi counterpart to discuss ways to enhance cooperation between the two countries in the oil and energy sectors.

An informed source told Shafaq News Agency that the Iranian minister, upon his arrival, held a meeting with the Iraqi oil minister, where they discussed cooperation in the energy sector and signed four memoranda of understanding.

It's worth noting that the Iranian minister met with his Iraqi counterpart, Minister of Electricity Ziyad Ali Fadhil, in February 2024, during which they emphasized enhancing cooperation in the oil, gas, and electricity sectors.

For his part, Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani confirmed the signing of memoranda of understanding and agreements with Iran to exchange expertise, serving the interests of both countries and enhancing joint cooperation in various sectors.

Abdul Ghani indicated, in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency, that "Iraq has promising gas investment projects and is working to achieve self-sufficiency in petroleum derivatives."LINK

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 4-29-25

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Tuesday Night 4-29-25  

Transcribed By WiserNow Emailed To Recaps

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight it is Tuesday, April 29th and you're listening to the big call. Welcome all over the country, all over the globe, wherever you're tuned in from, wherever you're listening to us. Thank you for tuning in. Glad to have you here tonight. Let's go ahead and pray the call in.

All right, so let's do this. Let's get into our intel for a night. All right.

Now, as you guys know we were close to getting some information that said we would say where we get something by the end of the month, or that's at least what President Trump wanted this to happen while the end of the month is tomorrow, Wednesday, the 30th.

Now, we didn't get notified today, but the latest information that we're getting from three or more different sources is saying we should get notified tomorrow. It looks like start exchanges on Thursday, the first of May. And anytime we come up and it's close to the end of the month, I always wonder, are they going to push it to the end of the month and then have us exchange and starting on the first that appears to be what is happening

Now, the reason I say that is because we did get information from redemption center  - let's call them leaders that said that they're expecting an email 9:15 or so in the morning that will let tomorrow morning that will let them know if we are actually getting notified tomorrow. And it looks good for that

We never know until the emails come out, until our 800 numbers come out from Wells Fargo, but it looks good for that to be occurring, and then for us to get started on Thursday, the first of May, with exchanges and redemption of zim.

Now you guys, we always wonder, when are we going to see the doge payment? When are we going to get R and R? You know, R and R, for those of us who are going to exchange, will it be at the redemption center?

When we get there, they'll either before we exchange or after exchanging, they'll bring that amount up to us. It should be something that's either already in our quantum accounts, or they'll see it and do it, put it in the quantum account. Think it's supposed to be in the quantum accounts, and then that account, of course, is our account.

Oh, and by the way, I don't think I told you guys this. I don't think I told you we already have our quantum card with our names on them. So they have our quantum cards ready for us at the redemption center that seems to correspond with our zip code. Oh, they know our zip code. They have everything on us, especially if you're a zim holder.

Okay, they have we're not going to need to bring much in, because they know who we are. That's an interesting thing that quantum card, remember is three times thicker than normal credit card. It's got three computer chips in it.

We think it's made of titanium  It's a really strong thing, and you want to not lose that thing. You want to keep it in a very safe place, because the only reason you really use it is to move funds from your quantum account into your Wells Fargo account or another bank account.

My understanding is you can have up to three bank accounts, or three banks tied to the quantum card. We'll get all the details and everything when we go in, but that was my understanding so far. But it was interesting that they have our quantum accounts already in the location that they think we are, where we are going to do our exchange and redemption of zim . They got that ready to go I found out, oh gosh, I think it was last Thursday. I didn't bring it up, though sometimes I don't remember everything, but that's good news.

The other thing is, you know, I mentioned earlier, President Trump said that we are about to enter the Golden Age, or we're, we're at the start of the Golden Age.

And I think that's symbolic of the gold back currency, which our USN is certainly asset backed  and primarily gold back. Yes, we have a lot of gold, plenty of it. And so that's good news, and we're about to move into NESARA but let's talk for a minute before we get into that, let's talk about the other things

People are concerned about their Doge payment - Where's my Doge payment? Well, we had heard that it might be there at the redemption center for us, and then we've heard, oh, want to put it as a direct deposit into the account if you're receiving Social Security where you're getting it, if you if you have a bank account, they know about it.

They know about your bank account by your social security number, and you'll get your DOGE payment there. Those of us who are on social security, they'll use our Social Security bank account. Now, it's different from Social Security, but it's going into the same account where you have your social deposited Okay, that shouldn’t change

Here we are one day away from the last day of April we’re not looking for anything to happen other than 800 numbers that happen tomorrow on the 30th of April, but we are looking to get an increase in social didn't happen this month, like we were told, sorry, but we should get it in May.

We should get Doge in May, and we should get R and R at the redemption center in May, and we should get this RV, hopefully the numbers tomorrow and setting up appointments to begin exchanges on the first of May. So May, it's going to bring a lot more than pretty May flowers. It's going to bring a lot more than that for us.

Let's see if there's anything else that's timely and important on this. There's one other thing I'm thinking about that I heard tonight was You're not going to use your birth certificate.  as a form of ID at the exchange location at the redemption center – it’s no longer considered legal, so that they don't want you to bring in a birth certificate.

What you want to use is a passport, if you have it, hopefully it's valid, even if it's not expired. Passport, some of you guys haven't renewed that yet. You know who you are. Bring it anyway, and bring your driver's license or student ID or government issued ID, or what do you got with a picture on it, a picture ID, and I'm going to bring a utility  bill – cell phone bill something like that  with a home address on it.

 I don't know that there's that much else that we're looking for. You know what I mean -  is there anything – I keep asking? Is there anything else that needs to be done? Is there anything else that you know that is holding it up?  

Now we did have a situation in Europe where we had blackouts in some European countries, and we were told yesterday on Newsmax, which I recommend you Newsmax for years back, said you had Spain and Portugal that had major blackouts. I don't know how long that went on yesterday, and I heard it was a total of nine countries in Europe.

Now I could confirm additional countries. We've heard problems, even with Wells Fargo in connectivity and trying to do transactions, wire transfers, or something like that, yesterday and this morning, they've got those problems resolved.

 There was an issue with HSBC and Citibank, but I don't know if that was a nationwide thing here or just specific branches in other parts of the world, because City Bank is in other countries. It's not just here in the US. And of course, HSBC is all over the world with branches and they have more, and they're adding more and more retail locations here in the United States, so we're going to have more HSBC banks too.

But I think I don't know this, but I believe the reasons for blackouts might have had to do with interconnectivity of May. It was the quantum system. Maybe it was the Starlink, but it also could have been connectivity having to do with the switch over to so called free energy that is supposed to start in the first 12 days of May now free energy does not mean zero electric bill.

Free Energy means that the suppliers that we have now supplying electricity to our power stations, power cuts or distribution points, would be free to them. We would have an electric bill, theoretically, 25% or so of what we pay now.

So in other words, we would pay to have the service to pay for maintenance of the lines still to go, at least right now, the distribution is going to be through the electrical grid that we have now, through the grid, and so instead of the whole cost of fuel and everything that we see on our electric bill, it's going to be more like 25% maybe less, but 25% probably is what I'm hearing. Let's say of what it is you have $100 electric bill. Electric Bill, could be 25 so let's see what happens with that.

Bank screen. Let's see. Let's talk about redemption center screens. Redemption center screens, we've got, let's see 18. We had 17 currencies, maybe 18, that were all slightly fluctuating, but going up mostly in value, and those will solidify.

And there was a crawler yesterday morning across the bottom of the redemption center screens that said, pending mean rate spending and 48 in 48 hours. So that was yesterday, Monday, so Wednesday, those rates shouldn't be solid, and I think they need to be solid for the exchanges to begin.

Now, does that mean we start tomorrow? I don't know. Maybe, maybe it could be that we start off first though, which is Thursday. So I just think it’s interesting that the rates are scrolling across the bottom. The method is scrolling rather because the rates were fluctuating, you could see the rates, you could see the amounts, you could see the rates, the currencies and so on.

But the crawler across the bottom of the screen said pending 48 so I think that's a good sign. And the rollout that we're looking for is we think the bond holders  will be messaged with an email that said they will have access to funds. We think sometime tomorrow, possibly around one or 1130, to noon in that time frame, when they get access to their funds in their accounts.  The money is already in the accounts for the bondholders they've been emailed that -  when they can access those funds, where they access those funds.

At that time, we're supposed to be sent our notification, 800 number so that we can put payments and the whole thing bondholders to us, should be a rollout, six to 48 hours. It's kind of a shotgun start, and it's a little bit skewed. It might not be exactly at the same time, but if the bond holders have access to funds,  when  we can we get to set our appointments and go, we're close. We're close. We're maybe 24 hours and maybe 24 hours ahead of us.

Now we'll see. We'll find out when they get access to their accounts, and then we should able to set our appointments. And who knows, may we start tomorrow, but I don't know, but my guts says that before Thursday start for our exchanges on the first day of the month of May.

But that's what I wanted to bring tonight –

So let's do this. Let’s pray the call out, but let's have a wonderful time looking at emails. Get an email out to sue, take advantage of the sale Bob's got going on and do that, and then we'll see what happens tomorrow, if we get our numbers, which I expect to set our appointments, and we're up and running, and that way Thursdays call, hopefully will be our celebration call. All right, so watch your emails

Seeds of Wisdom RV and Economic Updates Wednesday Afternoon 4-30-25

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

COINBASE URGES SUPREME COURT TO WEIGH IN OVER IRS'S ACCESS TO CUSTOMER DATA

▪️Coinbase said the Supreme Court should clarify the third-party doctrine, which says that people who give information to third parties, such as banks, should not have an expectation of privacy.

▪️Others have filed amicus briefs, including billionaire Elon Musk, the Cato Institute, and the DeFi Education Fund.

Coinbase urged the U.S. Supreme Court to consider a case involving the Internal Revenue Service that it says "sets a dangerous precedent" surrounding customers' personal data.

The crypto exchange said the Supreme Court should clarify the third-party doctrine, which says that people who give information to third parties, such as banks, should not have an expectation of privacy.

"This Court’s guidance is especially important here because this case involves a new technology—blockchain— that is particularly susceptible to surveillance abuse," the firm said in an amicus brief filed on Wednesday with the Supreme Court.

The IRS demanded records from Coinbase almost a decade ago from thousands of its customers, including information involving security settings, transactions, and correspondence. The company pushed back, but a district court later said Coinbase had to comply, but narrowed the IRS's search according to the filing.

In 2020, petitioner James Harper, a Coinbase customer, filed a suit against the IRS for its role in the alleged unlawful seizure of information that identified him as a crypto holder.

Now it's up to the Supreme Court to decide if it wants to take Harper's case up. Others have filed amicus briefs, including billionaire Elon Musk, the Cato Institute, and the DeFi Education Fund.

Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said the company supports complying with tax rules, but said the IRS went too far.

"We believe in tax compliance, but this goes far beyond a narrow and tailored request and far beyond crypto," Grewal said Wednesday in a post on X. "This applies to banks, phone companies, ISPs, email, you name it. As we explain here, you should have the same right to privacy for your inbox or account as you have for a letter in your mailbox."

ZIMBABWE REINTRODUCES GOLD COINS SALE TO STRENGTHEN CURRENCY RESERVES

 https://goldseek.com/article/zimbabwe-reintroduces-gold-coins-sale-strengthen-currency-reserves

As gold prices skyrocket, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) has resumed issuing gold coins.

The central bank introduced the coins in June 2022. The program was touted as a way for investors to store value in the face of rampant inflation. At the time, a Zimbabwean brokerage firm analyst told Al Jazeera that the coin was a “welcome development.”

“For a long time, the market did not have many investment options, and this is a new asset class. The thinking was inspired by the need to come up with an instrument that addresses the inflation problems in the economy, where purchasing power has been eroded. From what we are gathering, this is going to be a store value.”

He went on to say that the fundamentals of gold help it hedge against inflation and geopolitical risk, and that the gold coins would open the gold market to “ordinary investors.”

The RBZ suspended the sale of the coins 10 months ago, but they are now being reintroduced through local banks.

Fidelity Gold Refineries (Private) Limited mints the 22-carat "Mosi-Oa-Tunya" coin. It is available in various sizes, ranging from 1/10 ounce to 1 ounce.

The Zimbabwe central bank owns Fidelity Gold Refineries (Private) Limited, and it operates as the only gold-buying and refining entity in the country.

RBZ monetary policy committee member Persistence Gwanyanya told Bloomberg that the reintroduction of the gold coins comes at a time when “gold is more attractive to the market,” and that the move “supports our value preservation efforts.”

“We are taking advantage of firm gold prices and re-injecting the gold coins into the market.”

According to the Bloomberg article, the hope is that resuming gold coin sales will “ramp up the bullion stockpile used to back up the local currency, the ZiG.”

You might be wondering how selling gold increases a bullion stockpile.

The answer is it doesn't. Bloomberg seems to be oversimplifying a monetary policy scheme that will increase the reserves backing the ZiG, but won't increase the country's gold reserves specifically.

As of this week, sources within the Pentagon  (allegedly) confirm that joint military operations between Russia, China, and White Hat factions in the U.S. have begun seizing offshore accounts holding trillions in stolen assets.

Russia and China are now dumping U.S. Treasuries, moving fully into gold-backed trade with South Africa, Brazil, India, and Indonesia.

Asian Dragon family sources (allegedly) confirm 50,000 metric tons of gold have been moved from underground bunkers in the Philippines and Indonesia to secure vaults for the post-reset economy.

The Federal Reserve, IMF, and World Bank? Their days are numbered.

Mnt Goat   We witnessed so many banking and financial reforms in the past couple years...an article from...(April 15th)...once again telling us the black market (parallel market) may soon be completely gone come this June 2025...the remaining 5% of the cash payments for imports will be moved over also to the correspondent banks, as was the other 95% last December 2024. This will finally kill the remaining 5% of the black market. Hurrah, hurrah! This had to be done and the CBI told us this years ago. It is about to be reality...it is finally going to be done...This is going to happen suddenly and when you least expect it. They are almost there now. 

Militia Man  It's amazing to see how far the central bank has come.  They're in line with the global markets and they're going to have what I believe is to be inner connectivity...Iraq's ability to move away from the parallel market has been epic...95% of all transactions are outside of the parallel market.

FED Guts Stress Tests as Big Banks Win, Depositors Lose

Taylor Kenny:  4-29-2025

The same banking giants responsible for the 2008 financial crisis are quietly reshaping regulations—again.

But this time, the threat isn’t bad mortgages; it’s U.S. Treasuries, consumer debt, and weakened bank stress testing. At the center of this shift is the Federal Reserve, and vocal support from banking leaders like Jamie Dimon.

 For anyone with money in a U.S. bank, this change could be devastating.
