Gold Telegraph: The Last Monetary Reset

4-27-2025

One of the most overlooked moves this week: China’s central bank is investing in the internationalization of the Shanghai Gold Exchange. A war is playing out in the gold market, and it’s about pricing power. Buckle up.

The U.S. dollar index is down nearly 9%, on track for its worst start to the year since 1973 when currencies were cut loose from gold and began to float freely. In other words, the last monetary reset. The signs are everywhere.

BREAKING NEWS: A TOP CONTENDER TO REPLACE JAY POWELL HAS BLAMED THE FEDERAL RESERVE FOR “SYSTEMATIC ERRORS” AND MISHANDLING THE MOST SEVERE INFLATION CRISIS IN DECADES.

Change is in the air.

“Since the panic of 2008, central bank dominance has become a new feature of American governance…”

The next Federal Reserve chair must rebuild what’s been lost. Restoring the monetary integrity of the United States. @judyshel

For years, I’ve warned about the “buy now, pay later” trap. It’s a disgrace that so many rely on this financing to survive. Now, Americans are using it to pay for groceries. Very sad…

I said this 2 years ago: “More and more countries are either ignoring or starting to disrespect the IMF publicly…”

This week: The United States said it would pursue a significant overhaul of the International Monetary Fund.

The Spotlight is on the IMF. Despite a warning from the International Monetary Fund, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has successfully sold millions of gold-backed crypto tokens. Iran and Russia have also expressed interest in creating a new stablecoin backed by gold for trade. More and more countries are either ignoring or starting to disrespect the IMF publicly:

1) Zimbabwe ignored IMF warnings on gold-backed crypto tokens. 2) In early April, Tunisia rejected IMF loans, and the President said that Tunisians must count on themselves. 3) The Argentine Vice President recently blamed the country's $44 billion agreement with the International Monetary Fund as a significant factor behind the recent sharp devaluation of the peso and the subsequent wave of inflation, escalating consumer prices by more than 100%.

This is happening as debt from 18 developing nations is trading at distressed levels. A trend worth watching...

A leading pick to replace Jerome Powell says the Federal Reserve is due for nothing less than a complete “strategic reset.” About time… Only at the Federal Reserve could they believe that buying trillions in unwanted assets would end well.

The President of Colombia just called out the International Monetary Fund. Referencing them as “vampires.” The trend continues…

Militia Man  Remember, Iraq's original currency was mostly reflected off of oil and rentier country.  Not anymore.  That's going to mean they're going to need or will have a very strong powerful real effective exchange rate.  It's obvious IMO.

Frank26  In the Middle East...they're talking about a new exchange rate and the heavy talk they were dealing with was that maybe...a new rate was coming out at around $1.32.  I don't know.  I have no idea what the rate will be but I do know the IMF and the World Bank is working with the CBI and the US Treasury to bring purchasing power to their currency.  When?  I don't know.  All the evidence is in the articles.

LEDGER LIVE ENABLES STABLECOIN YIELDS DIRECTLY FROM SELF-CUSTODY WITH NEW KILN INTEGRATION

▪️Ledger is enabling users to access stablecoin yields directly from self-custody via its Ledger Live hardware wallet companion app.

▪️Powered by Kiln, the feature is pitched as a way to access DeFi yields for USDC, USDT, USDS and DAI without going through “complex processes
.”

Crypto hardware wallet giant Ledger says it will enable stablecoin yields directly from self-custody, in collaboration with DeFi infrastructure platform Kiln.

The feature lets Ledger users earn a passive income of 5% to 9.9% on USDC, USDT, USDS and DAI via several DeFi lending protocols, including Aave, Compound, Morpho, Sky and Spark, while maintaining self-custody.

Kiln operates as the backend, providing access to the protocols that users interact with via Ledger LiveLedger VP of Consumer Services Jean-Francois Rochet told The Block.

Depositing assets into DeFi lending protocols, such as Aave, is currently the most popular way to earn yield on stablecoins. According to The Block's data dashboard, more than $2 billion in USDT has been borrowed on Ethereum alone.

However, instead of connecting their Ledger hardware to third-party web3 wallets and juggling multiple decentralized applications, Kiln abstracts away this complexity, enabling access to DeFi yields natively within the Ledger Live companion app, available on both desktop and mobile versions.

"Web3 browser wallets are typically insecure,"
 Rochet said"The direct integration offers enhanced security … without leaving the safety of Ledger Live or going through complex processes."

Ledger argues that the integration opens up access to DeFi returns in a more user-friendly way, including clear signing, a method of signing blockchain transactions so that the signed content is human-readable and easily verifiable.

Users simply enter the amount they wish to deposit and select the protocol with the desired APY from the dropdownRochet explainedHowever, the trade-off is that users receive slightly lower APYs than by going directly to the protocols, he acknowledged.

"Ledger is pioneering security-first yield generation in the DeFi space,the firm said in a statement"More users than ever are entering crypto, and we're focused on making digital assets accessible without depending on insecure browser wallets or multiple dApps. With Ledger Live and Kiln, people now have transparent and easy solutions to earn rewards.  We're excited to see enhanced stablecoin capabilities made available to Ledger Live users."

Ledger claims that despite being some of the most widely used assets in crypto, only 4% of stablecoin holders currently earn yield on their USDC and USDT. "This integration unlocks stablecoin yield for users and grants full autonomy over digital assets, unlike centralized exchanges that take control and limit yields to dApp browsers," the firm said.

Close collaboration


Last year, Ledger and Kiln also teamed up to provide native access to liquid staking token restaking, enabling its users to restake assets on EigenLayer directly within the Ledger Live interface.

"Ledger has been a long-term partner of Kiln, and through our close collaboration, we have developed a deep understanding of the needs of their users,Kiln Co-Founder and CEO Laszlo Szabo said following the latest news. "Working together on the Kiln DeFi integration for Ledger is an exciting opportunity, and we're thrilled to help open up access to stablecoin rewards for millions of Ledger users."

The feature will offer yields on USDC and USDT initially, with DAI and USDS support rolling out later within Ledger Live. While Rochet said there is "definitely a plan to increase coverage," no specific additional assets are on the roadmap for now.

Ledger celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024 and claims that its devices secure over 20% of the world's crypto assets, having sold more than 7.5 million crypto hardware wallets to customers in 210 countries.

Kiln manages over $11 billion in crypto assets, operating around 4.5% of Ethereum's and 2.6% of Solana's total staked assets.

MASTERCARD AIMS TO POWER STABLECOINS FROM WALLETS TO MERCHANT ACCEPTANCE

Today Mastercard announced a ‘360-degree’ approach to stablecoins. It is positioning itself to service stablecoins much in the same way it does with card payments, to enable services for consumers, merchants and banks.

There’s much lobbying for position in the stablecoin sector, with 2025 predicted as the year that stablecoins move beyond crypto use cases. The race is on to see who can build the largest network of partners.

During the past week, Stripe announced it’s testing its new stablecoin solution based on the Bridge API for business payments. Citi forecast that stablecoins could reach a circulation of $1.6 trillion to $3.7 trillion by 2030. And Circle unveiled plans to launch the Circle Payments Network which aims to coordinate on and off-ramps, including collaborating with Deutsche Bank, Santander, Societe Generale and Standard Chartered.

Plus, in today’s announcement, Mastercard mentioned the potential for stablecoins to become ‘ubiquitous’. Last month startup Ubyx announced plans for a network for banks and fintechs to on and off-ramp an array of stablecoins, including smaller ones.

Mastercard’s range of stablecoin services


Turning to Mastercard’s announcement, it has already provided several of these stablecoin services for quite a while. It’s looking to expand its network of partners.

For consumers
 it makes stablecoins more user friendly by enabling crypto users to pay with stablecoins using Mastercard branded cards. Many crypto exchanges already provide cards, with OKX the latest to announce one.

On the merchant front
, it is partnering with Nuvei and stablecoin issuers Circle and Paxos to enable support for merchants to accept stablecoins, whether or not the payment uses a card. The mention of Paxos is notable given a recent report by Coindesk that Visa plans to become a partner of the Paxos Global Dollar, although Visa hasn’t yet officially confirmed it. Paxos is also the issuer of PayPal’s PYUSD.

For crypto institutions, it provides the Mastercard crypto credential to support compliant remittances combined with user-friendly names.

Plus, Mastercard has the Mastercard Multi-Token Network (MTN), which aims to support an array of digital assets, not just stablecoins. MTN includes links to banks such as JP Morgan and Standard Chartered. So far it allows investors in assets such as Ondo Finance’s tokenized money market funds to on and off-ramp, but stablecoins are part of the plans.

“To realize its potential, we need to make it as easy for merchants to receive stablecoin payments and for consumers to use them,” said Jorn Lambert, chief product officer at Mastercard. “We believe in the potential of stablecoins to streamline payments and commerce across the value chain. Unlocking this is core to how we navigate the rapidly changing world, giving people and businesses the freedom they want by providing the choices they deserve.”

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

Member: Good Monday morning everyone.

Member: WHOS READY FOR THE NEW RATE???

Member: Wayyyyyyyyy beyond ready.

Member; Soo many rumored to be flying to exchange this weekend….crazy amount of rumors flying round. 100s of Private Jets in the skies for the last several days ... hmm

Member: All Saturday evening and yesterday, lots of podcasts are saying it’s happening…..

MZ:  We are waiting for bond payout confirmations.

MZ: Things are moving- we just don’t know how quickly though……I was always told once we hit 30-40% of those historic bonds we are roughly 3-5 days of us going.

Member: I wonder- What % of Bonds have been remunerated at this time?

MZ: We do not know what percentage has been paid out yet. We are very hopeful that all the payments that have been initiated happened this weekend . If they (bank wires) have started to arrive we may get an idea of where we could be.

MZ: We are waiting to find out if bond holders have fully spendable money today. We are watching this today and tomorrow.

Member: Banking stuff is usually slow Monday morning. We might not hear anything until tomorrow.

Member: I bet many have NDA’s

MZ: There are definitely some people with NDA’s. They point blank told me they are on NDA’s and can give me no details.

Member: Bruce and Mike Bara s don’t think the Bolivar will be in the first basket. Hope they is wrong.

Member: I believe the Bolivar is going to surprise all of us!

Member: TNT Tony and Mike Barra said the Iraqi Dinar and Vietnamese Dong are both going now that the Dinar is over $4 and the Dong is over $2 and that was Friday ....I really wish they were right.

Member: if they were right- we would be at the banks…..sigh

MZ: In Iraq: “The Central Bank of Iraq indicates a decrease in the governments public spending”  there are hidden gems in this one. This indicates a decrease in the issued currency to 100T dinar. Under Saadam Hussein there were about 20Trillion dinar in circulation and the rate was about $3.20 or so.  …..There are so many more assets in Iraq now then there were then.

MZ: “ Financial inclusion in Iraq runs to 48.5” This is huge because it was single digits just a few years ago. This allows them to manage their government and banking and liquidity so they can do investments.

MZ: “National Data Center discusses a proposal to adopt a unified electronic platform in managing foreign labor files.”  They want to track foreign workers. They want to control their own borders. This unified electronic platform will do this.

MZ: “Last week Iraq’s oil exports to America rise by 170,000 barrels per day”   Iraq and the Us are very important to each other.

Member: Articles and info are great. But, doesn’t really correlate to the release of the RV. God bless us all. I hope. This is excruciating.

MZ: If things are too much for any of you…..you should put your currency on the shelf and walk away for a bit. Everybody needs a break now and again.

Member: Iraq elections this November, if it doesn’t go by then- does the process start from scratch?

Member: if Sudani wants any kind of legacy…he better release the RV soon.

Member: Heard that the new treasury notes are ready to place into ATM's but will probably be placed when the EBS goes off

Member: Sounds correct that new Republic money is in the banks.

Member: anyone read about the major power outages in Europe… basically the whole countries of Spain and Portugal are in a black out?? Madrid and Lisbon totally dark.

Member: rumor is = it was a cyber attack and they blew up a transformer station

Member: They say that we would have to have temporary blackouts to switch over to Tesla free power. Perhaps that's the reason?

Member: Here’s hoping we are at the finishing line this week Mark!

Member: Stay positive- My new pronouns are "I'm" "Already" "Wealthy"

Member: Tonight is a New Moon… in Gods view it’s new beginnings…

MZ: I will be missing some podcasts this week due to traveling . I may have an early Wed Morning stream…..but nothing Wed night. I will try to stay as regular as possible Thurs, Fri and Sat.

Sun. 27 April 2025 BOMBSHELL: TRUMP ANNOUNCES PLAN TO ABOLISH INCOME TAX FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS — BONANZA FOR AMERICA BEGINS — GESARA & NESARA! …QFS on Telegram

Trump’s declaration today ripped through the old system like a storm through brittle walls. For over a century, Americans have been bound by invisible chains, forced to surrender a portion of their labor to the very forces working against them.

 But that ends now. The middle class, the true heartbeat of this nation, will no longer be drained by the parasitic elites, their corrupt tax schemes, and their globalist puppeteers. The IRS — once a weapon wielded against patriots — is being replaced by an entirely new structure: The External Revenue Service.

This system doesn’t look inward to punish Americans; it turns its gaze outward, demanding dues from those who have exploited American strength for far too long. The foreign profiteers, the globalist cartels, and the enemies of American prosperity — they will pay the bill.

Trump’s strategy is not just policy. It’s a shift in the entire balance of economic power. By moving the tax burden onto tariffs, he forces foreign interests to pay for their access to the American market while freeing millions of middle-class families from the shackles of tax slavery.

 It’s a complete dismantling of the system that has bled this country dry. The Deepstate is trembling — their financial control mechanisms are collapsing. Their lifelines are being cut. Trump’s move triggers the engines of GESARA and NESARA, setting into motion the long-awaited global economic reset that will return wealth and power to the people.

This isn’t a promise for tomorrow. The effects are already rumbling through the economy. Factories are firing back up, real jobs are being created — not government handouts or minimum-wage scraps, but genuine, wealth-building opportunities that support families and rebuild communities.

The globalist free-trade scam that gutted America’s heartland is being dismantled piece by piece. Trump isn’t just offering a vision. He’s building it now, brick by brick, job by job.

Sun. 27 April 2025 THREE MAJOR MILITARY OPERATIONS ARE IN MOTION: …JFK Awakening Q17 on Telegram

BLACK EAGLE targets the Vatican, City of London, and ancient Swiss vaults — (allegedly) recovering bullion stamped with pre-WWI seals, looted over centuries by monarchies and war financiers.

SOVEREIGN SWORD is dismantling the Digital Babylon Network — a satellite-linked web once used by the IMF, World Bank, and BIS to (allegedly) funnel trillions through dark channels into weapons labs and surveillance programs.

OPERATION IRON JUDGMENT is storming elite island compounds, exposing quantum-encrypted terminals not tied to SWIFT, (allegedly) used by the world’s most powerful families to control untouchable wealth.

All assets recovered are (allegedly) being integrated directly into the QFS. Not one dollar is being returned to the corrupt elite. The stolen wealth of the world is (allegedly) being reclaimed — not just as justice, but as restoration.

And now, the biggest shock of all — The Federal Reserve has (allegedly) been seized. Its links to the Treasury have been severed. Fiat printing is dead. All future currency will be asset-backed, and under NESARA provisions, all debt created through fraudulent lending systems is nullified — (allegedly) including mortgages, student loans, credit cards, and more. This is not a theory. This is the final phase.

Expect a full public announcement by July 4. The era of silent control is ending. The people are rising. And the QFS is the foundation of a future that cannot be corrupted. The storm is(allegedly)  not coming — the storm is now.

Militia Man   This is a time frame where Iraq is stabilizing their foreign reserves.  They've increased their gold up to 163 tons of gold.  We have assurances from the likes of Saleh, Al Sudani etc that they have a strong stable economy, they have a strong stable country with security and stability.  Hence all the investors are flocking in.

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]   FIREFLY:
Another person is on the news saying the oil issues with prices will have no effect on the budget at this time and would have to drop to $50 to even consider any issues.  This is good news.  Apparently they must have a new exchange rate. We in the streets are asking where's article 12-2C relating to the oil not being published yet because the moment they show that to us they're going to release the new rate.  It's like they're still holding it back on purpose.

Trading coach Gregory Mannarino delivers a sobering critique of market manipulation, government incoherence, and the deep control exerted by global elites.

He argues that President Trump’s economic messaging and policy reversals—particularly around tariffs and interest rates—are driven by stock market pressures and orchestrated by unseen powers.

Mannarino warns of a systemic collapse fueled by debt, suppressed interest rates, and a looming shift to centralized digital control, while urging viewers to hold real assets like gold and silver.

He paints the current system as a deliberate “wrecking machine” targeting the middle class and small businesses in order to usher in a new order.

Despite the grim outlook, he calls for unity, spiritual reconnection, and grassroots resistance as paths to reclaiming individual sovereignty and truth.

He noted that the Central Bank of Iraq, in agreement and consultation with the Treasury and the Federal Reserve, has completed the organization of cash dollar sales operations, and that they are now "in an ideal position, by their own testimony."

He described foreign commercial transfers as "progressing smoothly, as we have expanded the network of correspondent banks abroad in the US and elsewhere. An agreement was also reached to open another bank in the US to establish relationships with Iraqi banks in transfer operations."

Regarding Iraqi banks barred from dealing in dollars, Al-Alaq said, "They will have to meet requirements related to ownership, compliance, money laundering, governance, and banking services in order to resume their normal operations."

He explained that these banks "were not subject to sanctions and are not included on the sanctions list, but due to observations about foreign transfers, they were stopped from using the dollar in transactions only."

He pointed out that a comprehensive plan was launched, which includes the criteria and conditions required to correct the situation of these banks to avoid such problems, after a full year of work on it.

Action: Launching an electronic platform for paying social security contributions.

Local | 05:23 - 04/27/2025   Mawazine News – Baghdad  The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs clarified, on Sunday, the conditions for granting a retirement pension to workers and the required years of work, while confirming the launch of an electronic platform for paying social security contributions.

Ministry spokesman Hassan Khawam said: "The retirement and social security law for workers, which was enacted during the current parliamentary session, is one of the most important laws. Among the conditions for inclusion are that the worker be of Iraqi nationality, residing in Iraq, and of legal age (63 years or older), and have guaranteed service with paid contributions for a period of no less than 15 years."

He added, "The law stipulates that the social security retirement pension may not be combined with any other retirement pension."

Khawam explained that "there is also an optional guarantee for every person working in liberal professions such as a barber, taxi driver, or street vendor. They can participate in social security voluntarily by paying monthly contributions within 15 different categories, starting from 17,500 dinars up to 87,500 dinars, in exchange for retirement salaries ranging between 500,000 and 1,750,000 Iraqi dinars. All workers are covered by the retirement salary without exception."

He pointed out that "other benefits provided by the law include paid sick leave, free medical care, in addition to a full or partial disability pension and maternity leave for pregnant women with the provision of health care."

He stressed that "the Ministry of Labor has inspection teams that visit investment projects to ensure workers are registered with social security and verify their numbers. In the event of a violation, the employer is subject to a fine that may reach five times the unpaid contributions."

Khawam pointed out that "the subscription deduction system has become electronic through the "Daman" platform, with a deduction rate of 5% of the worker's income, while the government bears 8%, and the employer 12%."

He explained that "the disbursement of retirement salaries is contingent upon reaching the legal age (63 years) with subscriptions of no less than 15 years, or early retirement according to the specified age and service conditions."

He explained that "the ministry is working with its social partners and local and international labor organizations to develop labor and social security laws, with the launch of awareness campaigns that have led to a large turnout of workers, especially in the field of optional insurance."

Regarding health insurance, he indicated that "covered workers pay only 10% of the cost of medical services, whether under optional insurance or in the organized sector." https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=260935

This project is one of the outcomes of the Prime Minister's visit to Spain at the end of last year, during which he met with the President of the World Olive Council.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

B️REAKING: XRP ETF APPROVED, BUT IT’S NOT SPOT ETF

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the first-ever XRP futures ETF, launched by ProShares. This ETF is expected to go live on April 30th, 2025. While it’s not a spot ETF — which tracks the actual price of XRP — it’s still a huge step forward for XRP’s recognition on Wall Street.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

B️REAKING: XRP ETF APPROVED, BUT IT’S NOT SPOT ETF

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the first-ever XRP futures ETF, launched by ProShares. This ETF is expected to go live on April 30th, 2025. While it’s not a spot ETF — which tracks the actual price of XRP — it’s still a huge step forward for XRP’s recognition on Wall Street.

The ETF approval comes just a few years after Ripple, the company behind XRP, was locked in a long legal battle with the SEC. Now, XRP is moving from courtrooms to trading floors, joining the ranks of Bitcoin and Ethereum, which already have both futures and spot ETFs.

Some investors were unsure at first, asking, “Why futures and not spot?” But futures ETFs are often the first stepThis was the path for Bitcoin and Ethereum, and experts believe a spot XRP ETF could be next. Futures trading allows big institutional investors to take positions on XRP, whether the market goes up or down — a common and healthy part of mature financial markets.

Experts called the approval a game-changer, pointing out that this move gives major players a way to legally and securely trade XRP.  And the good news doesn’t stop there. In Brazil, the XRP H11 ETF has just launched on the country’s main stock exchange, making it the first XRP-focused ETF in the world. This global momentum suggests XRP is no longer being left behind.

Just a few years ago, XRP was under heavy legal scrutiny. Now, it’s being listed on international exchanges, with regulated investment products opening the door for more adoption.

From being targeted by regulators to becoming a favorite of institutional investors — XRP is clearly turning the page.

FROM SWIFT TO SHANGHAI: BRICS JUST SEIZED GLOBAL SETTLEMENT POWER WITH DIGITAL GOLD | ANDY SCHECTMAN

 Andy outlines that BRICS just flipped the global financial system on its head. China’s digital RMB settlement system is now fully connected to 38% of global trade, allowing transactions to bypass SWIFT and the U.S. dollar entirely. Even more shocking—this new payment network is being expanded to non-member countries, quietly replacing the old financial order with a gold-linked system.

Tishwash:  Baghdad dollar declines due to exhibitions, real estate, or nuclear negotiations? 

Iraqi markets have recently witnessed a significant decline in the dollar exchange rate, reaching 1,440 dinars, after a period of highs and fluctuations amid Middle East tensions and US restrictions on Iraqi trade with sanctioned countries.

 The decline is contrary to expectations experienced by trading circles at the end of last year, which slightly disrupted the local economy. However, other experts who spoke to 964 Network attributed the almost sudden drop to a recession that has been looming for months in the Iraqi real estate and car markets, the largest domestic market for US currency trading.

This may mean a decline in large-scale money laundering operations led by influential parties, as discussed in political and economic circles. This is in addition to the decisions of US President Donald Trump, who imposed large customs tariffs on China, which led to higher commodity prices in the United States, increased inflation, and harmed the dollar's position globally.

Experts also noted that the return of Washington and Tehran to negotiations has contributed to reducing demand for the dollar in Iraq, as the exchange rate fluctuation is primarily due to informal trade between Iraq and Iran. However, successful negotiations and the easing of the pressure on the Iranian banking system will ease the pressure on the Iraqi dollar.

Experts do not rule out another factor: the Central Bank's recent restrictions on Visa and MasterCard cards, which have contributed to limiting the withdrawal of dollars at the official exchange rate and their subsequent sale on the black market.

Mustafa Akram Hantoush, financial expert:

The dollar exchange rate should not exceed 1,320, even on the parallel market. The central bank sells dollars daily at this rate, exceeding $250 million. However, there are discrepancies. Any requests outside the central bank's platform are not covered, most notably trade with Iran, small traders, and the smuggling of some goods through Kurdistan. This trade is not officially covered, and therefore traders buy them from the parallel market.

Iranian situation negotiations

There are now negotiations in Iran. If they succeed and the noose is lifted on its banking system, this will ease the pressure on the Iraqi dollar, thus lowering the parallel exchange rate.

The solution lies in creating a genuine platform for financial transactions with Iran. Small traders must be covered by specialized companies that handle their needs, while smuggling must be stopped and the sanctioned countries that travelers visit must be addressed.

Khaled Haidar - Academic:

The Iraqi economy is linked to the global economy and its revenues depend on oil, which is priced in US dollars.

Trump and the American market

The US economy is currently experiencing a decline in retail sales, particularly after tariffs on countries, particularly China. This has had a significant impact on the US economy, with imported goods prices rising, inflation rates doubling, confidence in the US economy weakening, and interest rates declining. This, in turn, has impacted growth prospects.

Today's global economy is gradually beginning to rely on other currencies, such as the BRICS blocs, creating new influential poles on the global map.

Today, there is a degree of confidence in the Central Bank's performance regarding the dollar, particularly since it has restricted electronic transactions using cards used by travelers to obtain dollars at a low rate, then withdraw them abroad at the parallel market rate, profiting from the difference upon their return to Iraq and reselling them. This measure has greatly reduced fraud and dollar withdrawals.

There's also a trend today toward trading in gold, and its prices continue to rise, as it has become a safe haven and a better alternative to the dollar. Many are choosing to keep their capital in the form of gold bullion, which has affected confidence in the dollar and impacted its value.

Nabil Jabbar Al-Tamimi, economic expert, to 964 Network :

There are no political reasons for this decline, and it is within the normal range of fluctuations, given that the dollar previously reached 1,400 and then rose to over 1,500. Furthermore, there is no major event currently affecting the price, and the central bank's measures remain unchanged.

Iraqi real estate and car market stagnant!

Iraq is currently experiencing a recession in the car and real estate markets. This is primarily due to the fact that car dealers deal exclusively in dollars, not dinars. Furthermore, companies importing electric cars have emerged, and these companies are enjoying great popularity among Iraqis, in addition to accepting dinars.

Neglecting the dollar-denominated side of the market, whether in the auto or real estate markets, has led to a decline in demand for the dollar. This decline is relative, not exceeding 2.5% or 3%.

The tariffs imposed by Trump have not affected Iraq, and there is no connection between them. Regarding the negotiations between Iran and the US, in the event of tensions, demand for the dollar is expected to increase, and the rise in the price in Tehran is expected to be reflected in the Iraqi dollar, given the presence of unofficial transfers, which we have not witnessed. Furthermore, the existence of measures related to MasterCard cards and withdrawal transactions is expected to raise the price, because restricting cards stifles the markets, thus raising trading prices on the black market, but the opposite has happened.

The decline is due to internal factors. About six months ago, a clear recession began in the dollar-denominated auto and real estate markets. This recession reduced demand for the currency.

Ammar Hamad, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, stated to the official newspaper, as monitored by 964 Network:

The improvement in the Iraqi dinar's exchange rate against the dollar in local markets is due to the Central Bank's recent policy and the country's substantial financial reserves.

The decline will continue in the coming periods.  link
