“Tidbits From TNT” Sunday Morning 6-29-2025

TNT:

Tishwash:  Stay tuned... an expanded meeting will be held tomorrow in Baghdad to discuss the re-export of the region's oil.

Iraqi parliament member Sherwan Dubardani confirmed on Saturday that a delegation from the Kurdistan Region, headed by the Minister of Natural Resources, had arrived in Baghdad. He explained that the capital would host an expanded meeting tomorrow between the Kurdistan delegation and the federal government to discuss the re-export of the region's oil.

"The Kurdish delegation is currently holding a meeting, and an expanded meeting between Erbil and Baghdad is expected to be held tonight or tomorrow, Sunday, to discuss the region's oil file," Dubardani said in a statement monitored by Al-Masry.

Kurdish media outlets quoted political sources regarding the upcoming meeting, stating that it will include Deputy Prime Minister Fuad Hussein, the Iraqi Oil Minister, a representative from the Iraqi State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO), the Kurdistan Regional Government's Minister of Natural Resources, and a delegation from the region heading to Baghdad.

She pointed out that "a joint statement on the outcomes of the meeting is expected to be issued after its conclusion."  link

Tishwash:  Sharp fluctuations in the value of the Iranian currency amid regional tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv.

Iranian markets have witnessed sharp fluctuations in the Iranian toman's exchange rate over the past few days, directly influenced by the escalating geopolitical tensions between Iran and Israel. The US dollar's exchange rate against the toman reached 9 million tomans at the height of talk of a possible direct war, after it had been expected to reach 10 million.

But with signs of calm and de-escalation between the two sides, the value of the toman has risen again, amidst a state of uncertainty that has gripped the market.

Decrease in trading volume and warnings against risk

"We sold the dollar for 7.6 million dinars, but we didn't buy back because of the price fluctuations," Kawa Yahya, an exchange office owner, told a Kurdistan 24 reporter. "The price had risen to 9 million tomans this morning due to the escalation, but later dropped to 7 million, which represents a difference of nearly 2 million in a very short period."

Money changers confirmed that toman banknotes are becoming less available in the market, and that daily trading volume has fallen to approximately 60% compared to previous levels.

Conditional optimism and expectations of more volatility

For his part, Shawan Muhammad, an exchange office owner, said, "After the calm, the toman began to regain some of its value, but its fate remains uncertain. There is talk of an impending agreement between the United States and Iran, and if it actually materializes, the toman will regain its strength. So far, Tehran has not conceded its interests, so we expect the market to remain volatile."

Observers believe that any new security or political unrest among the countries of the region would immediately impact the toman's exchange rate and trading volume in the Iranian market.

Despite the lack of stability, approximately 10 billion tomans are still traded daily, a source of concern for traders who face significant financial risks amid the lack of clear guarantees regarding the future of the Iranian currency.   link

Tishwash:  An economist warns of the continued dominance of the dollar in Iraqi-Chinese trade.

Data from the Chinese Customs Authority showed a significant increase in the value of Chinese exports to Iraq during the first five months of 2025, increasing by 9.5% compared to the same period in 2024. The value of these exports reached $7.4 billion, compared to $6.77 billion during the same period last year, according to a report by economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi.

Al-Abidi explained that this growth is driven by increased exports from a number of sectors, most notably:

Electrical and mechanical appliances : accounted for 24% of total exports and achieved a growth rate of 11.46%.

Electronics : represented 15% of exports and increased by 29.3%.

Clothing : accounted for 7.6% of total exports and increased by 21%.

Cars and spare parts : Its share reached 7.2% and recorded the highest growth rate of 35%.

In contrast, Iraqi exports to China declined by 5.77% during the same period, reaching $15.2 billion compared to $16.14 billion in 2024, and are almost entirely limited to petroleum products.

Despite the decline, the trade balance between the two countries remains in Iraq's favor, with a trade surplus of $7.7 billion during the first five months of 2025, down from $9.37 billion during the same period the previous year.

Al-Obaidi pointed out that "this surplus remains fragile, as it is almost entirely tied to Iraq's oil exports to China in terms of quantity and price. Any decline in the value or volume of these exports could lead to a shrinkage of the surplus or its transformation into a deficit, which necessitates diversifying Iraq's export base by boosting exports of raw materials and local goods."

Although annual trade between Iraq and China exceeds $54 billion, financial transactions between the two sides continue to be conducted in the US dollar, whether for oil sales or imports.

Al-Obaidi called for "the establishment of a direct financial and trade exchange platform between Iraq and China, similar to what other countries have done, such as the recent agreement between China and Turkey to adopt local currencies in trade exchanges."

He promised that "reducing dependence on the dollar represents a strategic step towards enhancing financial independence and increasing the effectiveness of bilateral trade."

It should be noted that this data represents direct Chinese exports to Iraq and does not include goods exported to other countries, particularly the UAE, and then re-exported to the Iraqi market.  link

Hundreds of Indicators Pointing to a Global Recession

Hundreds of Indicators Pointing to a Global Recession

Commodity Culture:  6-28-2025

Renowned financial analyst Henrik Zeberg recently joined Jesse Day on Commodity Culture to deliver a stark warning about the global economic outlook.

 In a compelling discussion, Zeberg asserts that a global recession is not just a possibility, but an unavoidable certainty, culminating in a deflationary bust that most market participants will fail to anticipate.

Central to Zeberg’s thesis is the prediction of an imminent “blow-off top” in the broad market. This euphoric, final surge, he argues, will precede a dramatic and unexpected deflationary downturn. Zeberg meticulously outlined the specific indicators he is closely monitoring that underpin this contrarian view, suggesting that the current economic trajectory is far more precarious than widely acknowledged.

The “deflationary bust” is highlighted as a particularly insidious threat, precisely because its arrival is expected to blindside the majority of investors and policymakers.

Beyond the broader market, Zeberg also provided his detailed outlook on the future of gold and gold mining stocks, offering insights into their potential performance in a rapidly shifting economic landscape. The discussion further delved into the potential ripple effects of former President Trump’s tariff policies, analyzing how they might impact global trade and economic stability.

Perhaps one of the most memorable moments of the conversation was Zeberg’s candid assessment of the US dollar’s standing in the current global financial landscape, famously asking whether it remains “the prettiest mare at the glue factory of fiat currencies.”

This provocative statement encapsulates his skepticism about the long-term strength of the world’s reserve currency amidst unprecedented monetary policies.

Zeberg’s comprehensive analysis offers a compelling, albeit unsettling, counter-narrative to much of the prevailing market optimism. For investors and individuals keen to understand the full scope of Zeberg’s predictions, including the specific indicators and his nuanced arguments, the full video discussion on Commodity Culture provides invaluable insights.

 It’s a critical watch for anyone looking to navigate the challenging economic waters ahead with a more informed perspective.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Serbia Confirms Strong Interest in Joining BRICS at 2025 Summit
By Watcher.Guru | June 2025

As the 17th BRICS Summit approaches, Serbia has officially reaffirmed its intention to join the expanding BRICS alliance. The summit will take place on July 6–7 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and could mark a pivotal moment for the bloc’s next wave of expansion.

Serbian Prime Minister: “It Is of Strategic Interest”

Serbian Prime Minister Duro Macut made the country’s position clear, stating that:

“We consistently advocate the need to deepen cooperation with our traditional partners and friends. The BRICS countries are the most important players on the world stage, and the development of strong, mutually beneficial relations with them is of a strategic interest to us.”

Serbia formally submitted its application to join BRICS in 2023, when the alliance last opened its doors for expansion.

BRICS Expansion: Who’s In—and Who’s Waiting

In 2024, BRICS added 13 new “Partner Countries”, including:

Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkey, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam.

While Serbia was not included in that group, it remains among the 23 countries that have formally applied to join the bloc. An additional 22 countries have expressed informal interest, reflecting the growing global momentum around BRICS.

Balancing BRICS and the EU

In a noteworthy diplomatic move, PM Macut also reiterated Serbia’s parallel ambition to join the European Union:

“Serbia continues its path towards membership in the European Union,” he stated in a recent interview with foreign media.

Serbia continues to navigate complex post-Yugoslav geopolitics, including past sanctions, while seeking stronger ties with both Eastern and Western alliances.

Decision Expected in July—But Not Guaranteed

Whether Serbia will be invited to join BRICS will likely be decided during the July summit in Brazil. The BRICS expansion process is consensus-driven, meaning all existing member states must agree to admit new countries.

A key question remains: What value can Serbia bring to BRICS that strengthens the bloc's collective influence?

As the BRICS alliance seeks to redefine the global geopolitical landscape—especially amid rising tensions with Western institutions—Serbia's bid could serve as a strategic pivot between Europe and the multipolar order BRICS envisions.

The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is moving. It’s not just a financial reset; it’s the end of the Cabal’s control over money. People are finding out about secret bank accounts, offshore havens, and illegal wealth.

The world is moving to a new credit-based system that will end debt slavery. As a result, trillions of dollars in assets are being taken. Picture this: you wake up and all of your debts—mortgages, student loans, and credit cards—are gone. This isn’t just a guess; it’s happening right now

Global Currency Reset:

Nothing remains to be done. The bank screens were blank this morning, then flickering later in the day. They (banks) thought that was a good sign. A bond holder was paid 100 million dollars. We should be going very soon.

A High Up Source’s opinion was that Tier4b (us, the Internet Group) would be notified to set redemption appointments sometime between Fri. 27 June and Mon. 30 June.

Fri. 27 June 2025 Capathia: From a great friend who lives close to where the “planes fly in”: Someone has now received spendable funds, that persons group is very happy, and they, too, have heard we could perhaps receive what we are waiting for into tonight or tomorrow Sat. 28 June.

Militia Man  If they drop three zeros, reinstate, apply the real effective exchange rate then you're going to have all the fundamentals.  Iraq's going to be valued off her fundamentals.  Back in the old days it was oil.  Now it's non-oil resources - gas...phosphate, silica, sulfur, gold, uranium, thorium, taxes and tariffs all those things...

Frank26   [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report]  FIREFLY:   World Bank is talking on TV right now Channel One saying this development road project will bring so much more trade to Iraq.  They are backing Iraq with $300 million.  Why would they invest in something like 1310?

Sandy Ingram  Iraq is about to pull off something huge.  The World Bank just approved a whopping $930 million loan to overhaul Iraq's railways, a move that could reshape not just the country but the whole region...This isn't just about trains.  This is Iraq's shot at becoming the main gateway between the Gulf and Europe.  They call it the southern corridor.  Some of us may know it as the Development Road Project.  Think of it as a super highway for both cargo and people...This puts the country on the make as a key trade link between continents...Construction kicks off soon...

Member: Happy Saturday to everyone

Member: Good morning Patriot visionaries and Dinar faithful!!! I have a feeling this is our last Saturday waiting for our blessing

MZ: We spend the first 45 minutes with the CBD gurus and then on to the news of the day.

 MZ: I did finally get in touch with one of my redemption center/wealth management folks ….He was told they are not working this weekend but be in early on Monday…. They were told to enjoy the weekend because they would be working some very long hours over the next 2 weeks.

MZ: I hope that means us.

MZ: From Iraq there have been some breakthroughs…..especially on the Baghdad/Erbil issues.

MZ: “ Economist: Iraq loses one billion dinars a month due to smuggling of the region’s oil”  the Erbil/Baghdad agreement would stop this.

MZ: “ Imminent agreement between Erbil and Baghdad to re-export the region’s oil and settle the salaries of the employees” looks like they are finally taking care of the “elephant in the room”  and stalling us. They are expecting a agreement in the coming days.

MZ: “After the technical delegation . A political delegation from Baghdad awaits arrival in Erbil to end the outstanding files” We are expecting a busy few days in this upcoming week. To me today is a pretty exciting news day.

MZ: The last obstacles appear to be getting out of the way.

MZ; “Departments to stop taking cash in two days. Fifteen million Iraqis are without an electronic card” the government of Iraq is going cashless. From now on folks will not be able to use cash to pay for government services. In the past there was too much cash disappearing from greedy government officials. This has made a massive difference in their revenue.

MZ: This is part of the white paper reforms they wanted to get under control before they raised the value of their currency

MZ: “Iraq’s printed currency at lowest level in a year”  they are down to under 100T. .

Member: Many rumors that IQD gets a new rate Monday?

The World Bank Finances The Iraqi Railway Project With $930 Million

Local | 12:34 - 06/27/2025  Mawazine News - Baghdad -  The Ministry of Transport announced on Friday that it had obtained World Bank approval to finance a $930 million loan to rehabilitate the existing railway line, while pointing to a plan to connect Iraq's railways to the ports of Faw and Umm Qasr, all the way to Turkey.

The Ministry of Transport's media director, Maitham Al-Safi, said, "The maritime railway connection plan that the ministry is working on under the supervision of Transport Minister Razzaq Muhaibis Al-Saadawi, includes linking the existing railways to the Grand Faw and Umm Qasr ports, heading towards the northern regions and reaching Turkey.

" He explained that "the plan represents an integrated government vision for operating the first phase of the Grand Faw Port project, which includes five berths, and completion rates have reached very advanced stages." He pointed out that "this approach contributes to achieving multimodal transport goals, paves the way for connecting Iraq to the European continent and strengthening its role as a regional logistics hub."

He added that “the Development Road Project – Phase One is not limited to linking southern Iraq to its north, but rather serves as the foundation for the Strategic Development Road project, the detailed designs of which have reached advanced stages.” He noted that “the project will provide multiple future connections with Europe, whether via the current road or across its three strategic phases.”

He pointed out that “the strategic dimension of this plan is to transform Iraq into a hub for regional and international transport and trade,” noting that “the negotiations of the assigned government committee, headed by the Minister of Planning and including a team from the Ministry of Transport, with the World Bank resulted in the bank’s approval to finance Iraq with a $930 million loan, allocated to rehabilitating the current railway line and upgrading the technical and administrative capabilities of the General Railways Company.”

He pointed out that “the loan will cover the modernization of the locomotive fleet, the renewal of maintenance workshops, and the development of infrastructure, in addition to providing technical support to enhance the efficiency of institutional performance and modernize railway transport systems within the framework of a comprehensive reform vision.”

He continued, “This project represents a qualitative leap in the transport sector and enhances integration between maritime and railway transport, putting Iraq on the right path to achieving sustainable development and expanding its strategic role in international trade.” https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=263145

Economy |  06/27/2025   Mawazine News - Baghdad -  The Ministry of Planning revealed, on Friday, the contents of the third anti-poverty strategy for the years 2026-2030.

Gold Heads For Second Weekly Loss.. What About Other Metals?

Stock Exchange   Gold prices fell on Friday, heading for a second weekly loss, as safe-haven demand was impacted by the ceasefire between Israel and Iran and progress on the US-China trade deal, while investors awaited US inflation data.

Spot gold fell 1.2% to $3,288.55 per ounce by 06:43 GMT. The yellow metal's price has fallen 2.3% so far this week.   US gold futures fell 1.4% to $3,300.40, according to Reuters.

"The market seems very bullish on risk assets, so that is impacting gold prices," said Soni Kumari, a commodities economist at ANZ.

Kumari added that the de-escalation in the Middle East following the ceasefire and progress in US-China trade talks reduces market uncertainty, leading to further price declines.

Iranians and Israelis welcomed the return of normal life after 12 days of the most violent confrontation ever between the two sides, which ended with a ceasefire that took effect on Tuesday.

A White House official said Thursday that the United States has reached an agreement with China on how to expedite shipments of rare earth minerals to the United States amid efforts to end the trade war between the world's two largest economies.

Investors are awaiting US core personal consumption expenditures data, due at 12:30 GMT, for further clarity on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy outlook. Analysts polled by Reuters expect a 0.1% monthly increase and a 2.6% annual increase.

Markets currently expect interest rates to be cut by 63 basis points this year, starting in September.

US President Donald Trump says slowing inflation means the Federal Reserve should cut interest rates, but only two US central bank policymakers have so far indicated they are considering a rate cut at the central bank's July meeting.

Among other precious metals, spot silver fell 0.5% to $36.44 per ounce, platinum fell 2.8% to $1,378.18 after hitting its highest level in nearly 11 years, and palladium rose 0.3% to $1,135.36, its highest level since October 2024.   https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=56697

Crypto Momentum Builds: US House Passes Landmark Bill to Boost Blockchain Adoption
By Bitcoinist | June 2025

In a bipartisan push to strengthen U.S. competitiveness and innovation, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed new legislation aimed at accelerating the adoption of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) across public and private sectors.

Blockchain Promotion Bill Clears the House

On Thursday, policy platform Bitcoin Laws reported that the House approved HR 1664 — the Deploying American Blockchains Act of 2025. This bill directs the U.S. Secretary of Commerce to lead national efforts in advancing blockchain use cases and ensuring U.S. leadership in this strategic technology.

Originally introduced in February by Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) and co-sponsored by Rep. Darren Soto (D-FL), HR 1664 outlines the creation of a Blockchain Deployment Program. The program is tasked with:

• Developing best practices for blockchain integration

• Advising the President on blockchain deployment and competitiveness

• Promoting national security and economic interests through secure DLT use

• Coordinating across federal agencies to provide unified support for blockchain adoption

“This is a forward-thinking bill that places blockchain on the national agenda as a tool for innovation, transparency, and strategic advantage,” said Rep. Cammack during committee discussions.

Advisory Committees and National Oversight

If enacted, the legislation mandates the formation of advisory committees within 180 days to assist in blockchain adoption strategy. These bodies will help shape regulatory, technical, and economic guidance for implementation across industries.

Senate Takes Up Crypto Legislation

The bill now moves to the Senate for consideration, continuing what many see as a wave of legislative momentum around digital assets. HR 1664 follows on the heels of two major crypto-related efforts:

• The GENIUS Act, a bill focused on stablecoin regulation, which recently cleared the Senate

• The CLARITY Act, the House’s crypto market structure bill, which advanced through committee markups

Although discussions continue about merging GENIUS and CLARITY, some lawmakers prefer to keep them separate for strategic passage.

White House Crypto & AI Czar David Sacks summarized the expected timeline:
“July will be a big month — with a bill signing for GENIUS and CLARITY going to the Senate!”

A New Legislative Roadmap for Crypto in America

According to Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott, lawmakers are now targeting a markup in early September and final passage by September 30, staying ahead of the August recess.

With President Donald Trump voicing support for both GENIUS and CLARITY, the stage is set for a landmark summer in U.S. crypto policy.

“President Trump supports CLARITY on market structure as well as GENIUS on stablecoins,” said Sacks, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to crypto innovation.

Ripple Ends Legal Fight With SEC: “We’re Closing This Chapter Once and for All,” Says CEO
By The Block | June 2025

In a significant development for the crypto industry, Ripple Labs is officially ending its years-long legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The decision, announced Friday by CEO Brad Garlinghouse, marks a definitive conclusion to one of the longest and most closely watched regulatory disputes in crypto.

Ripple Drops Cross-Appeal in SEC Lawsuit

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Garlinghouse stated:

“We’re closing this chapter once and for all, and focusing on what’s most important – building the Internet of Value. Lock in.”

Garlinghouse confirmed that Ripple is dropping its cross-appeal, which would have challenged separate elements of the court’s decision. A cross-appeal allows a party to contest different parts of a ruling not addressed in the original appeal.

Background: Ripple’s $1.3 Billion SEC Battle

The case began in 2020, when the SEC accused Ripple of conducting an unregistered securities offering by selling $1.3 billion worth of XRP. The commission claimed that XRP was a security under U.S. law.

In a landmark 2023 ruling, Judge Analisa Torres of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York issued a mixed decision:

• Programmatic XRP sales on exchanges did not violate securities laws, due to the blind bid/ask process.

• Direct institutional sales did constitute securities transactions, exposing Ripple to penalties.

This second finding led to a $125 million civil penalty against the company.

Ripple and SEC Motion Rejected by Judge Torres

Garlinghouse’s announcement came one day after Judge Torres rejected a joint motion from Ripple and the SEC to modify the existing injunction. The two parties had requested a ruling to:

• Dissolve the existing injunction

• Allow $50 million of the $75 million penalty to be paid to the SEC

• Allocate $25 million to Ripple as part of the resolution

The court denied the motion, maintaining its previous rulings.

Ripple Moves On From Legal Saga

Though Ripple had already stated back in March that it would not pursue a cross-appeal, Friday’s statement puts an official capstone on the case. A Ripple spokesperson declined to comment further.

The conclusion of this legal chapter may allow Ripple to re-focus its resources on international expansion and XRP Ledger development, free of the uncertainty that has loomed over the company since 2020.

With the cross-appeal dropped, Ripple now stands fully compliant with the court’s rulings and regulatory penalties, potentially setting a new precedent for future crypto-related enforcement actions.

Tishwash:  An imminent agreement between Erbil and Baghdad to resume the region's oil exports and settle employee salaries - Urgent

Member of Parliament, Shwan Muhammad, said on Friday (June 27, 2025) that a comprehensive agreement between Baghdad and Erbil is likely to be reached soon, re-exporting Kurdistan's oil through SOMO and providing a solution to the months-long employee salary crisis.

Mohammed said in a press statement followed by "Baghdad Today" that "the agreement includes exporting the region's oil through the National Marketing Organization (SOMO), with the federal Ministry of Finance responsible for paying the dues of the operating oil companies, while providing guarantees that no obstacles will be placed in the way of the process."

The Kurdish MP explained that "the success of this agreement will have a direct impact on the salaries issue and pave the way for resolving the outstanding financial disputes between the two parties."

As the elections approach, Iraqi parties are preparing for internal and external challenges that require resolving disputes and strengthening the economic front. This is particularly true in light of declining oil exports and increasing international pressure on the federal government to ensure transparency in resource management. Meanwhile, Kurdish demands are escalating to end what has been described as the "collective punishment" policy of the region's employees through salary delays.  link

Tishwash:  Sherwan Dobardani: Erbil and Baghdad have reached an agreement and it must be adhered to.

 A delegation from the federal government arrived in Erbil on Thursday, June 26, 2025, and began its meetings with a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government at 5:00 PM, MP Sherwan Dubardani said.

The two sides reached good results and an agreement on resuming Kurdistan oil exports, he added.

"Erbil and Baghdad have reached an agreement to resume the export of Kurdistan Region's oil, and the agreement must be adhered to," Sherwan Dubardani, a member of the Iraqi parliament representing the Kurdistan Democratic Party, told Kurdistan 24 on Friday, June 27, 2025. He added, "A delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government will meet with oil companies next week."

Dubardani added, "The Kurdistan Regional Government must abide by the law we voted on in the House of Representatives, and Baghdad must abide by the same law. Companies that signed contracts with the regional government have legal contracts according to the same law."

He pointed out that "there is no excuse for the federal government not to abide by the agreements because the Kurdistan Regional Government is prepared to implement the law enacted by the Council of Representatives, which is to pay 50% of the financial revenues to the federal government."

He explained that Iraqi political parties accuse the Kurdistan Regional Government of non-compliance and use slogans against the KRG because they have not delivered anything for their constituents in their provinces. Especially since parliamentary elections are due to be held soon in Iraq, they are using these slogans as political leverage.   link

Tishwash:  Erdogan: We will transform geopolitical potential into economic advantage through a "development path" extending from Iraq to Türkiye and on to Europe.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said that his country will work to transform geopolitical potential into an economic advantage through the "Development Road" project extending from Iraq to Turkey and reaching Europe.

Speaking at the Global Transport Corridors Forum held at the Istanbul Congress Center on Friday, Erdoğan expressed his happiness at his country hosting this forum at a critical time witnessing the reshaping of the global trade route, as well as at hosting representatives from 70 countries in Turkey as part of the forum's activities.

He said: "We hope that the forum participants will have the opportunity to discuss many issues, such as cross-border cooperation opportunities, digital transformation steps, infrastructure investments, and the harmonization of transit transport operations, within the framework of the forum."

He stressed that the forum will be an important platform that showcases Turkey's vision and leadership capacity in the field of transportation to the entire world, rather than just an international meeting.

Erdoğan explained that the "Development Road" impact on production will exceed $50 billion within 10 years and is expected to provide an average of 63,000 job opportunities annually.

The Turkish president indicated that geopolitical potential will be transformed into a comprehensive economic advantage that will benefit the entire region through the "Development Road" project.

He explained that the "Development Road" is a land and railway route extending from Iraq to Turkey and its ports, extending 1,200 kilometers within Iraq, and aims to transport goods between Europe and the Gulf states.

Erdoğan noted that tensions in the Middle East and the uncertainty surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and airspace "reminded us of the importance of safe transport corridors," emphasizing that the importance of logistics lines that facilitate the movement of people and goods in the global economy is growing day by day.

He said, "This approach is the primary motivation behind Turkey's massive investments in land, air, and sea routes, as well as telecommunications and energy lines, particularly over the past 22 years."

He added, "Under our governments, we have invested nearly $300 billion in transportation and communications infrastructure."

He explained that $177 billion of this was spent on highways, $64 billion on railways, $25 billion on airlines, $4 billion on maritime transport, and $25 billion on communications infrastructure.

He added, "The impact of these investments on production has reached $1.65 trillion." Thanks to our investments in transportation, we have also achieved significant increases in employment, and many sectors, from industry to exports, from tourism to logistics, have been positively impacted by these investments."

During his speech, Erdoğan touched on the "Middle Corridor," noting that he expects the trade volume in the Middle Corridor, the railway linking Europe to Asia via Turkey, to reach $75 billion.

Erdoğan explained that the Middle Corridor extends from China to Europe and connects 21 countries via a railway network. It offers transportation twice as fast as maritime routes and nearly four times more economical than air routes.

He pointed out that this project represents a revival of the historic Silk Road, emphasizing the operationalization of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway line, which forms the backbone of the Middle Corridor.

"Alongside all these initiatives, our efforts continue to align the Middle Corridor with the Belt and Road Initiative implemented by the People's Republic of China," Erdoğan continued.

The Middle Corridor is an alternative to the Northern Corridor linking China and Europe. It runs from Turkey to the Caucasus region, then crosses the Caspian Sea to Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, reaching China.

The Middle Corridor is one of three global trade corridors from China to Europe, the first being the Northern Corridor via Russia, the Southern Corridor via Iran, and the Maritime Corridor via the Suez Canal.

The Middle Corridor is 4,256 km long by road and rail, and 508 km by sea. link

BRICS Summit Preview, China to Move Towards Internationalizing Yuan, with Gold as Collateral

BRICS Summit Preview, China to Move Towards Internationalizing Yuan, with Gold as Collateral

Arcadia Economics:  6-27-2025

As the much-anticipated BRICS Summit draws near, global financial circles are buzzing with speculation about the key announcements and strategic shifts likely to emerge.

 Among the most intriguing prospects, according to insights shared by Vince Lanci on Arcadia Economics, is a significant move by China to bolster the international standing of its currency, the Yuan, leveraging the age-old bedrock of value: gold.

Lanci’s analysis, detailed in a recent Arcadia Economics show, reveals that Beijing is poised to begin unveiling the foundational infrastructure for its ambitious plan to internationalize the Yuan (CNY). What makes this initiative particularly noteworthy – and potentially game-changing – is the explicit intention to use gold as collateral for the Chinese currency.

This strategic pivot could fundamentally reconfigure global financial dynamics. By backing the Yuan with gold, China aims to enhance its credibility and stability on the world stage, offering a tangible alternative to the prevailing fiat currency systems.

 The move underscores a broader trend within the BRICS bloc (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) towards establishing alternative economic frameworks and reducing reliance on traditional Western-dominated financial structures.

The integration of gold as a foundational asset for the Yuan not only lends an unprecedented level of perceived security but also harks back to a more tangible form of currency backing, potentially appealing to nations seeking greater transparency and stability in their trade and reserve assets.

This initiative could represent a significant step towards diversifying global reserve assets and trade settlements away from traditional benchmarks, offering new pathways for international commerce and investment.

As the BRICS Summit unfolds, the world will be watching closely to see the initial steps of this potentially transformative financial architecture take shape.

For those seeking deeper understanding and real-time analysis of these pivotal developments, Vince Lanci’s full discussion on Arcadia Economics offers invaluable further insights and information.
