Member: Good Monday Morning…..Hope everyone had a good weekend

Member: We have a 4 day weekend coming up…..rv possibility?

Member: It is hard not to be discouraged some days. Hope you have some good news Mark.

MZ: No real bond news yet this morning…..From the banking side I am expecting a number of updates. This past weekend the world just embraced ISO 20220. I am expecting a lot of banking updates today as we see how the banking world goes. I am very excited about the potential this brings us.

Member: As usual all the banks will probably get an extension on ISO 20022!!!! Nothing ever seems to have solid deadlines.

Member: Let us all hope that this deadline will not be overturned …again

MZ: I do not think banks will get an extension on Iso20220. I consider this week to be very crucial. I think we will learn a lot in the upcoming days.

Member: Things sure sound good from Iraq!

Member: Al-Sudani is on the cover of Newsweek (11/21/2025) with the heading, “Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani is putting Iraq back in the spotlight.” Come on RV!

Member: Iraq’s latest purchase raises its total gold holdings to 170 tons? Hope its enough to gold back the dinar.

MZ: “Sudan, Zimbabwe and Burundi are among the African Nations facing significant decline in purchasing in 2025 due to high inflation” Zimbabwe has about 30% inflation. When you see these levels of inflation it is forcing us to an “asset backed” system where you won’t have inflation. .

Member: I wish I understood how they “delete the zeros”

Member: Mark has explained it a thousand times….lol

Member: I think too many people think cutting the zero's means a 25,000 dinar becomes 25.00. The zero's comes off of the rate!

Member: Deleting 3 zeros: The value of the Iraqi Dinar will increase SO much that a 25k Dinar will go from $2.50 USD TO $25,000. So they will HAVE to have smaller notes.

Member: Militia described like this in the past: Militia Man  If you do the math on it, if you drop the three zeros from the exchange rate of the nominal value of the currency.  If the exchange rate is $1 divided by 1310 gets you .0007643 or real close, which is far less than a penny.  If you drop the three zeros off the exchange rate you've done a big service.  You've created value to that currency because if you drop three zeros from the exchange rate that is .76 ...They can then add the Real Effective Exchange Rate based off the non-oil revenue streams...

MZ: Everyone in “the know “ in Iraq has talked about it. They will lift the purchasing power by raising the value of their currency. Then they will distribute lower denomination notes. Be sure to listen to the video by Dr. Shabibi as he explains it in full.

Dr Shabibi answering questions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ol8wve53-ME

Member: I think Iraq might go alone? I think they could just go first with the VND?  Just hope its soon.

Member: Some ppl are saying RV in March. I'm praying we do not have to wait that long.

Member: And others say it will happen next weekend or Dec 1st…..noone knows the exact date…Its all speculation until it happens.

Member: Banks shut down for Thanksgiving and Banks shut down for Christmas holiday

Member: let's pray that we all be blessed for this week.

Member: Hope everyone has safe travels and a wonderful Thanksgiving week……God Bless.

Tishwash:  Iraq participates in The Market 2.0 conference to keep pace with developments in financial technology.

The Securities and Exchange Commission participated today, Sunday, in The Market 2.0 conference to keep up with developments in financial technology.

The commission said in a statement followed by Al-Masra, that “the head of the Securities Commission, Faisal Al-Haimas, participated, along with the executive director of the Iraq Stock Exchange and the chairman of the Board of Governors, in the work of The Market 2.0 conference, which is being hosted by the Kingdom of Bahrain and organized by the Federation of Arab Capital Markets in cooperation with the Bahrain Stock Exchange.”

She noted that “this participation comes within the framework of the Securities Authority’s keenness to keep pace with global developments in the field of financial technology and digital transformation, to learn about the latest innovations in trading systems, and to enhance expertise in developing the technical infrastructure of financial markets.”

She explained that “the visit also aims to enhance cooperation with regulatory bodies and Arab financial markets and to exchange leading experiences that contribute to developing the regulatory framework and supporting the investment environment in Iraq.”  link

Tishwash:  The European Union: We support Iraq's efforts to diversify its economy.

The European Union affirmed its support for Iraq's efforts to diversify its economy and enhance the role of the private sector in development.

The European Union Ambassador to Iraq, Clemens Simetner, said that the EU program includes cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq and relevant government agencies in the fight against money laundering, indicating that work is underway to design a joint project with the Central Bank and prepare for its implementation phases, with other parties involved in this endeavor.

He explained that the European Union mission in Iraq focuses on supporting the government's direction towards diversifying the economy and reducing the burden on the public sector, noting that addressing this challenge requires empowering the private sector and supporting small, medium and emerging industries and projects by providing loans that help them build their capabilities and provide stable sources of income away from government jobs.

Tishwash:  Iran removes four zeros from its national currency.

 Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian issued a decree to implement an amendment to the Iranian Central Bank Law to remove four zeros from the national currency, the rial.

According to this amendment, the Central Bank determines the Iranian national currency, the "Rial," and announces it within the framework of the "Governing Currency System."

According to the statement, the central bank is responsible for determining the exchange rate, but it must also take into account the country’s legal obligations and the amount of foreign exchange reserves.

It should be noted that the aforementioned amendment applies to clause (a) of Article (58) of the Central Bank of Iran Law and was based on Article 123 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Earlier, the Iranian parliament approved this amendment in a public session on Sunday, November 2, and the Guardian Council ratified it on November 5.

The Expediency Discernment Council also approved this amendment. Furthermore, the Guardian Council did not deem it contrary to Islamic law or the constitution, thus allowing the removal of four zeros from the national currency, the rial.

The amended text emphasizes that the announcement of the exchange rate must be “within the framework of the prevailing monetary system, taking into account Article 44 of the Central Bank Law.”   link

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Europe Floats G8 Comeback for Russia in Landmark Peace Proposal

European leaders signal a dramatic geopolitical shift as a new 28-point plan seeks to end the Ukraine war — and re-integrate Moscow into global power forums.

Overview

• European officials are preparing to offer Russia a return to the G8 as part of a sweeping peace framework.

• The proposal is designed as a counter-balance to the Trump administration’s plan, which Kyiv fears could force territorial concessions.

• The European version maintains Ukrainian sovereignty as a core principle, while still making major concessions to entice Putin.

• The framework includes capping Ukraine’s military, long-term security guarantees, and phased sanctions relief for Russia.

• Both U.S. and European negotiators say significant progress has been made, with a breakthrough possible in the coming days.

Key Developments

• European diplomats drafted an alternative 28-point peace plan in Geneva, emphasizing territorial integrity and the preservation of Ukraine’s sovereign rights.

• A major concession: Russia would be invited back into the G8 — a symbolic and economic reintegration step after its 2014 expulsion.

• The proposal caps Ukraine’s peacetime military at 800,000 troops, a higher figure than the Trump administration’s suggested 600,000.

• The plan establishes robust U.S.-style security guarantees, including compensation for Washington and automatic sanctions snap-back if Russia violates terms.

• It outlines a comprehensive reconstruction and redevelopment plan, including energy infrastructure, technology investment, and World Bank financing mechanisms.

• Zelensky signaled cautious optimism, noting that there are “signs that President Trump’s team is listening.”

• Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the talks as “tremendous progress,” stating that negotiators are close to finalizing the framework.

• The plan ends with a legally binding ceasefire mechanism, monitored by a multinational Board of Peace chaired by President Trump.

Why It Matters

If enacted, this agreement would be one of the most consequential geopolitical settlements since the end of the Cold War. Restoring Russia to the G8, restructuring Ukraine’s security architecture, and linking sanctions relief to verifiable compliance represent a profound shift in global power dynamics. These moves would reshape alliances, redraw energy and trade flows, and establish new precedents for how major conflicts are resolved under a multipolar order.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 3 — Geopolitical Realignment

Re-admitting Russia to the G8 signals a foundational shift in Western strategy. Instead of isolating Moscow, European powers are moving toward selective reintegration — a recalibration that alters blocs, alliances, and global governance norms.

Pillar 5 — Security & Defense Architecture

By capping Ukraine’s military, redefining NATO’s limits, and building a new U.S.–Russia security compact, the plan restructures Europe’s defense landscape. These adjustments establish a new equilibrium for power projection, deterrence, and long-term peace mechanisms.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

NATO Ally Intercepts Russian Warship as Tensions Rise in European Waters

U.K. shadows Russian vessels amid escalating undersea security concerns

Overview

• The U.K. intercepted a Russian corvette and tanker off its southern coast during a round-the-clock shadowing mission.

• British officials accuse a separate Russian spy ship, Yantar, of pointing lasers at U.K. pilots in recent days.

• London reports a 30% increase in Russian vessels posing threats to U.K. waters over the last two years.

Key Developments

• HMS Severn intercepted Russia’s Stoikiy corvette and Yelnya tanker as the vessels moved through the Dover Strait into the English Channel.

• Another NATO ally assumed tracking responsibilities once the ships reached the coast of Brittany, highlighting coordinated alliance surveillance.

• Previous similar incidents include U.K. naval forces shadowing Russian destroyers, submarines, and tugboats throughout 2024–2025.

• Russian intelligence vessel Yantar reportedly used lasers against British P-8 Poseidon pilots operating near U.K. waters.

• GPS jamming was recorded near HMS Somerset and nearby civilian vessels, though no combat systems were affected.

• NATO is accelerating investment in undersea protection as 98% of global data flows through seabed cables now considered high-risk targets.

Why It Matters

Russia’s expanded maritime activity around Europe—particularly near undersea cables and pipelines—has become a critical strategic concern. NATO allies view these operations as part of Moscow’s wider campaign to probe Western defenses and test vulnerabilities in global infrastructure.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar: Geopolitical Realignment
Russia’s aggressive naval posture is accelerating NATO defense coordination and reshaping security calculations across Europe, pushing allies toward greater integration and shared maritime monitoring.

Pillar: Critical Infrastructure & Energy Security
The threat to seabed cables and pipelines highlights the fragility of the global communications and energy backbone—forcing governments to modernize protections and redesign oversight mechanisms.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Meet the Guy Keeping Gold Above $4,000

Meet the Guy Keeping Gold Above $4,000

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black)  November 19, 2025

When you think of hyperinflation, you might picture Zimbabwe’s trillion-dollar bills, or wheelbarrows full of cash in the streets of 1920s Weimar Germany.

More recently, Venezuela’s currency collapsed under the weight of runaway printing, and Argentina has spent decades lurching from one inflation crisis to another. Throughout history, inflation isn’t an exception—it’s the norm.

Poland is among the many countries which suffered its own bout of inflation in 1989 and 1990, triggered by the same familiar mix of government mistakes: massive deficits, political dysfunction, and a central bank used as a printing press.

In 1990 alone, prices in Poland jumped 586%. The złoty, Poland’s currency at the time, collapsed. One American professor living in Poland at the time said a monthly bus ticket cost what an entire summer cottage had ten years earlier.

This was the inevitable result of decades of command-and-control economics.

After World War II, Poland remained independent in name only. Soviet troops never left. The Communist party ruled with Moscow’s blessing. Private property was abolished. Prices were fixed by decree. Farms were collectivized. Dissent was criminal.

To keep the illusion of prosperity going, the government promised everything to everyone—jobs, housing, healthcare, cheap food—and paid for it with money it didn’t have.

When tax revenues fell short, the central bank simply printed more. But paper currency can’t conjure real goods. The result was shortages, black markets, and, eventually, total currency collapse.

That’s the world Adam Glapiński—current President of the National Bank of Poland—grew up in.

Born in 1950, he watched his savings inflate away throughout his early career.

Having fought as part of the anti‑communist underground and witnessed the country’s currency unravel in the early 1990s, Glapiński isn’t simply a technocrat—he’s someone determined to protect Poland from repeating its past.

That’s why he’s gone all in on gold.

And he’s part of the reason that Poland is one of the healthier economies in Europe. (Another is that Poland is one of the only places that hasn’t sacrificed itself on the altar of multiculturalism.)

But they still have a problem: a significant portion of their strategic reserve assets are denominated in US dollars.

And Glapiński has been rightfully concerned. Because when you’ve lived through a currency collapse once, you start paying close attention to the early warning signs.

He’s looking at the United States today and doesn’t like what he sees. The deficits keep climbing. The national debt keeps exploding. Interest expense has now surpassed military spending. Social Security is projected to run dry in just seven or eight years.

And the only thing both parties can unite for is to chase anyone trying to solve these problems out of town— like Elon Musk and his work with DOGE.

Glapiński’s not stupid. He can see the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, even as inflation ticks up. He sees it ending quantitative tightening early, and gearing up for more quantitative easing— AKA money printing.

He can also see a point—relatively soon—when the US dollar is no longer the world’s dominant reserve asset.

The endgame is clear: the value of US dollar reserves will decline.

So he’s been trying to get ahead of it.

But what other strategic reserve asset is there for a central banker to buy?

Not the Chinese renminbi—you can’t trust their lack of transparency, manipulated numbers, and massive debts.

Not the British pound—Britain’s a fiscal and political mess.

Poland will hold some euros, sure, but the euro-zone has plenty of structural problems of its own.

Gold is the best option left.

Not because Glapiński is a gold bug— this is a completely rational move.

Gold is one of the only assets with a large enough market that you can invest tens of billions of dollars. Then, you can hold it within your own borders, free of counter‑party risk. You don’t get that benefit if you’re holding another government’s bonds, which can be defaulted on, frozen, or weaponized as the US has shown.

Glapiński’s target was for the National Bank of Poland to hold 20% of its reserves in gold.

But when they hit that target, he raised it to 25%... which they also recently hit.

And now he’s pushing for 30%.

There are two main things to understand about this.

One, he’s far from alone.

Countries like Russia, China, and other usual suspects are buying literal tons of gold, largely because they don’t want to be frozen out of their US Treasury holdings.

But its not just them. It’s also Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, El Salvador— central banks around the world are buying way more gold than usual.

As recently as 2010, central banks added a grand total of just 79 tons of gold to their reserves.

In 2024, they added a cumulative 1,089 tons. And that’s been the trend—1,000 tons per year—since 2021. That’s about double the previous decade’s average.

The second thing to understand about demand from central banks is that they are relatively price insensitive.

They’re not buying gold to speculate and sell later for more dollars. They’re buying it to diversify away from the dollar.

While they may try to time certain purchases to go further, they’re not going to let $4,000 per ounce gold change their overall reserve strategy.

They know they need to continue buying gold for one simple reason: they’re losing confidence in the US government.

And that demand alone is probably enough to continue to push prices even higher.

To your freedom,   James Hickman

The Hidden $20 Trillion Global Carry Trade that will Unwind Everything

The Hidden $20 Trillion Global Carry Trade that will Unwind Everything

Michael Cowan:  11-23-2025

For nearly three decades, a powerful, yet often invisible, financial mechanism has acted as the subterranean engine of global capital markets: The Japanese Yen Carry Trade.

This trade—a complex borrowing strategy stretching back to the 1990s—is the linchpin supporting trillions of dollars in global assets, including significant portions of the US Treasury market and the soaring valuations of the S&P 500.

But the cornerstone of this foundation has just cracked.

Recent, dramatic shifts have signaled that this multi-trillion-dollar carry trade is beginning to unwind, threatening not just a market correction, but a widespread financial upheaval potentially worse than the crisis of 2008.

To understand the danger, we must first understand the mechanism.

The Yen Carry Trade is financial arbitrage based on interest rate differentials. For decades, the Bank of Japan maintained near-zero or even negative interest rates to stimulate its economy. This created an irresistible opportunity for global investors.

This process flooded global markets, particularly the US, with cheap liquidity, driving up asset prices and effectively subsidizing US government debt. It was free money driving the greatest risk-on rally in history.

The fundamental assumption underpinning the entire carry trade was that Japanese interest rates would remain near zero indefinitely. That assumption is now dead.

For institutional investors who assumed these rates were anchored near zero, these spikes represent massive losses on their bond holdings, shattering confidence in the sustainability of Japan’s debt policy.

When investors lose faith in the anchor currency’s rate mechanism, the trade becomes untenable.

The process of the carry trade unwinding is a forced, destructive loop.

When Japanese yields rise, the cost of maintaining those yen-denominated loans increases dramatically. Investors who borrowed yen must now rush to repay their loans before the cost becomes crippling.

This is the catastrophic trigger. Trillions of dollars in US stocks, bonds, and emerging market assets—the foundation of retirement funds and 401ks globally—must be sold off rapidly.

Unlike the 2008 crisis, which was concentrated in the US housing market and derivative products, the yen carry trade unwind cuts across virtually every major asset class, threatening a cascade of forced liquidations worldwide.

The threat to market stability is severe, but it is magnified by concurrent challenges facing Japan:

Japan is finally seeing meaningful inflation after decades of stagnation. If the Bank of Japan is forced to raise its benchmark interest rate to control price growth, it will accelerate the unwinding process exponentially, punishing borrowers further and multiplying the asset liquidation pressure.

Geopolitical friction, particularly the simmering tensions between China and Japan over Taiwan, adds a layer of economic risk. Any escalation could provoke sanctions against Japan, further destabilizing its economy and forcing investors out of Japanese assets entirely.

We are already seeing real-world examples of this shift. SoftBank’s massive recent sell-off of Nvidia shares—a titan of the high-growth tech sector—serves as a stark warning. As confidence in assets fueled by cheap yen borrowing evaporates, investors are taking profits and moving to cash before they are forced to liquidate at distressed prices.

The potential unwinding of the Yen Carry Trade is not a distant theoretical risk; it is an active threat already manifesting in bond markets. This shift signals a massive repricing of global risk and capital costs.

The era of consistently cheap credit supporting inflated global asset prices may be coming to a harsh and sudden end. Investors need to be acutely aware of the systemic risks associated with this monumental financial mechanism finally grinding to a halt.

For an unprecedented, in-depth look at how this financial earthquake could impact your investments and the stability of the global economy, we highly recommend you watch the full analysis from Michael Cowan.

The Jay Martin Show:  11-23-2025

In this explosive conversation, Jay sits down with Andy Schectman to break down the biggest monetary shift happening beneath the surface of global finance.

Schectman explains why the newly passed Genius Act and the rise of Treasury-backed stablecoins may be quietly restructuring the U.S. dollar system.

They dig into gold’s explosive institutional demand, America’s pivot toward state capitalism, the government’s race for critical minerals, and the dangerous cracks emerging in the repo market that signal deep fragility across the banking system.

BRICS Shift: Indonesia Turns to the Yuan to Break Dollar Dependence

Indonesia accelerates its monetary pivot as local currency settlement with China surges

Overview

• Indonesia is preparing to launch foreign exchange operations in the Chinese yuan and Japanese yen, reducing reliance on the US dollar.

• The country aims to expand Local Currency Transactions (LCT) so trade no longer requires conversion through the dollar.

• Bank Indonesia reports significant growth in yuan-rupiah settlements with China, strengthening domestic FX stability.

• These changes align with broader BRICS trends as emerging economies pursue financial systems less tied to Western monetary dominance.

Key Developments

• Expansion of Local Currency Settlement
  Indonesia’s new FX operations will allow businesses to settle trade directly in yuan, yen, or rupiah. The move reduces pressure on the US dollar and lowers costs associated with currency conversion.

• Yuan Transactions Surge
  Bank Indonesia confirms that yuan-based cross-border transactions with China have been rising sharply, reaching approximately $1 billion per month in LCT value.

• New Payment Infrastructure
  Indonesia and China are coordinating on new digital payment channels, including cross-border systems capable of settling in local currencies, improving liquidity and reducing transaction friction.

• Strengthened Bilateral Cooperation
  A renewed yuan–rupiah swap agreement and expanded local-currency trade frameworks show Indonesia’s long-term commitment to diversifying away from the dollar.

• Integration with BRICS Strategy
  The shift aligns Indonesia more closely with BRICS economic objectives, positioning the country as an active participant in emerging de-dollarization architecture.

Why It Matters

Indonesia’s push toward yuan-based trade is more than a monetary adjustment — it’s a structural pivot. By adopting local currency settlement systems and expanding swap lines, Indonesia is insulating its economy from dollar volatility and enhancing financial sovereignty. This transition not only reduces conversion costs but also strengthens regional financial connectivity.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Monetary Sovereignty
  By expanding the use of local currencies, Indonesia reduces exposure to US financial policy and steps closer to a multi-polar reserve structure.

• Pillar: Regional Financial Integration
  Enhanced payment mechanisms and bilateral swap lines create wider alternatives to dollar-based settlement frameworks, supporting long-term BRICS strategy.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

A Golden BRICS Renaissance: How 6,000+ Tonnes Are Rewriting Global Power

BRICS nations expand gold reserves and industrial capacity, reshaping monetary power and global economic architecture

Overview

• BRICS nations now hold more than 6,000 tonnes of gold, accounting for roughly 20% of global central bank reserves.

• Russia and China dominate the bloc’s stockpile, collectively controlling nearly three-quarters of total BRICS reserves.

• Central banks worldwide have been purchasing over 1,000 tonnes of gold annually for the past three years — the longest continuous accumulation streak in modern history.

• BRICS is pairing gold accumulation with a surge in industrial cooperation, including new multilateral development platforms and large-scale technology initiatives.

Key Developments

• Central Bank Strategy Shifts
  Global sentiment among central bankers is shifting away from reliance on the U.S. dollar. A recent survey found that a majority expect the dollar’s global reserve share to decline over the next five years, while nearly half plan to increase gold holdings.
  Economists point out that the trend reflects long-term concerns over currency stability rather than short-term price speculation.

• Gold Price Forecasts & Market Outlook
  Major financial institutions are projecting a dramatic revaluation of gold in the coming years, with some forecasting prices reaching $6,000 per ounce by 2028. Expected rate-cutting cycles and reserve diversification efforts are cited as driving factors.
  Discussions within the BRICS community continue to favor expanding use of national currencies for cross-border settlement rather than attempting to formally replace the dollar.

• BRICS Industrial Cooperation Surges Forward
  BRICS nations recently launched a new multilateral platform for industrial development — a center designed to integrate industrial competencies, expand technology networks, and coordinate large-scale cooperation across member states.
  This initiative was reinforced by ministerial-level agreements focusing on industrial modernization, technology partnerships, sustainable development, and support for small and medium-sized enterprises.

• Training & Talent Development Initiatives Expand
  A growing number of BRICS-aligned programs now target skills development in green technologies, digitalization, and advanced manufacturing.
  These programs draw participants from dozens of countries and serve as the backbone for expanding industrial capacity across the BRICS economic sphere.

Why It Matters

The BRICS gold build-up is only one part of a far broader transformation. These nations are building new financial foundations, parallel industrial systems, and alternative development pathways that operate outside of Western-dominated institutions.
This dual strategy — monetary reinforcement through gold and economic expansion through industrial partnerships — is rapidly shifting how global power is structured.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar: Monetary Sovereignty
  Gold accumulation strengthens long-term financial independence and reduces exposure to dollar-centric risk.

• Pillar: Institutional Rebalancing
  New BRICS industrial platforms represent a foundational shift toward self-directed development models that bypass traditional Western frameworks.

This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday Afternoon 11-23-25

With The Lockdown, The Dollar Exchange Rate Has Risen In Baghdad.

Economy | 23/11/2025  Mawazin News - Baghdad:  The US dollar rose against the Iraqi dinar on Sunday evening in Baghdad markets as the stock exchange closed.

The dollar reached 141,900 dinars per 100 dollars in Baghdad's main exchanges, Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya, compared to 141,200 dinars per 100 dollars earlier in the day.]

November 23, 2025   Baghdad – Al-Zaman  The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in Iraq issued a clarification on Sunday regarding the statements of its Minister, Ahmed Al-Asadi, concerning the withdrawal of 2.5 trillion dinars from the Social Welfare Fund.

The Ministry explained that the Minister's statement came within the framework of a future vision to finance subsidies from investment returns, and that the reference was to the temporary liquidity of banks and not to the loss of funds.

It emphasized that the rights of beneficiaries are protected and documented in official records and supported by what was stated in the official letter of Al-Rafidain Bank.

The Ministry of Finance described Al-Asadi’s statements as inaccurate, noting that no amount had been withdrawn from the account, but rather it had been temporarily frozen, and that the central account of the Social Protection Network has been funded since 2015 for the purpose of disbursing salaries only, in accordance with the Social Protection Law No. 11 of 2014, and that some of the amounts recovered from the smart cards are still in the account and have not been withdrawn. It also indicated that the Ministry of Labor did not follow up on the balance with the correct reconciliation with the bank.

The Federal Financial Control Bureau indicated that the accounts were subject to a comprehensive audit, and it was found that there were uses outside the nature of the account that were not carried out by the Ministry of Labor, and that the amounts transferred from the Ministry of Finance and returned from smart cards are still in the account, with a request for a detailed analysis of the revenues, stressing that all rights are reserved and in accordance with the official records.

Rafidain Bank announced that the actual balance of the Social Protection Network account is 2,495,921,687 trillion dinars, while the balance of the Social Protection Authority Fund amounts to 390 billion dinars, and all balances are fully available without any shortage or withdrawal, and that its role is limited to holding accounts and executing official disbursement orders without any interference in the decisions of ministries, and no request for investment or withdrawal or any judicial notification has reached it.

Tweets and local reports showed that the minister’s statements caused media confusion, with analysts describing the news as a misunderstanding of the terms of temporary liquidity, while others saw it as an attempt to highlight the need for financial and investment reforms in the Social Welfare Fund, stressing that financial and legal oversight protects citizens’ money and confirms the transparency of operations.  LINK

Transportation: The Faw Port Canal Will Give Iraq A Competitive Advantage And Generate Significant Profits.

Time: 2025/11/23 Reading: 60 times  {Local: Al-Furat News} The Iraqi Ports Company announced today, Sunday, that it has put in place plans to invest in the navigation channel at the port of Al-Faw.

The company’s general manager, Farhan Al-Fartousi, said in a press statement: “There are future plans to invest in the navigation channel in the port of Al-Faw, as we have plans to invest in the territorial waters, but when we have a separate navigation channel, this is one of the most important investments in navigation channels, as it is 23 kilometers long towards the sea, while the territorial waters are 12 nautical miles.”

He added that "this project is one of the investments that generates large profits for the country as a result of the difference in transportation costs. The Umm Qasr port, with a depth of 12.5 meters, will have small ships that will cost carriers and traders a difference in transportation costs, unlike if transportation were done through the Faw port."

He pointed out that "this represents a major competitive advantage for the port of Faw in order to increase the volume of trade exchange, and to make it the economic gateway for Iraq to the largest economic project in the Iraqi state, which is the Development Road project."  LINK

Al-Ubaidi reveals a huge gap between Central Bank funding and 2024 border crossing data
Time: 2025/11/22 19:41:37 Readings: 105 times

{Economic: Al-Furat News} The head of the Iraq Future Foundation for Economic Studies and Consultations, Manar Al-Obaidi, stated that the 2024 data revealed a huge numerical paradox in the Iraqi economy, represented by a huge gap between what the Central Bank finances and what the border crossings record.

Al-Ubaidi said in a statement, a copy of which was received by Al-Furat News, that: “While the Central Bank announced that Iraq’s imports exceeded the $87 billion mark, with actual external transfers to cover them amounting to more than $80 billion, the data from the Iraqi Customs Authority came out completely different, as it recorded the entry of goods with a total value that did not exceed $39 billion.”

He added, "This discrepancy, which exceeded $47 billion, was blatantly concentrated in specific sectors, as the Central Bank financed imports of machinery and transport equipment worth $33.6 billion, while customs only recorded $14.8 billion, a difference of more than $18.7 billion in this item alone."

Al-Obaidi continued, "A significant disparity also emerged in 'miscellaneous manufactured goods,' where the Central Bank covered imports worth $13.8 billion, compared to a modest customs registration of only $2.2 billion."

He explained that “in the face of this clear waste and ambiguity in the data, hopes are currently pinned on the ‘Customs Automation’ project and the application of the unified global commodity classification at border crossings, as it is hoped that the digital transformation and precise networking will bridge this gap and ensure that the movement of funds matches the movement of goods, which will enhance the efficiency of the state’s financial and regulatory system.” LINK

Global investment giant Vanguard moves to enter Vietnam as market upgrade approaches

Friday, November 14, 2025, 14:22 GMT+7

U.S.-based Vanguard Group, one of the world’s largest asset managers with nearly US$13 trillion under management, has announced plans to expand its investment activities in Vietnam as the country prepares to move from frontier to emerging market status.

The announcement came during a meeting on Tuesday in Melbourne, Australia between representatives of Vanguard and a delegation from the State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC) led by chairwoman Vu Thi Chan Phuong.

The meeting was part of the SSC’s working trip to Australia from November 10-14 to attend the annual conference of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

The two sides discussed cooperation, market development, and ways to draw more foreign capital into Vietnam’s stock market.

Vanguard praised recent efforts by the SSC to streamline procedures and strengthen the legal and regulatory framework, saying the new policies are making it easier for global funds to enter the market.

Ahead of Vietnam’s reclassification by FTSE Russell, a major global index provider under the London Stock Exchange Group, Vanguard said it plans to open both a trading account and an indirect capital account in Vietnam.

James Chatfield, head trader for Asia Pacific and senior portfolio manager at Vanguard, said the fund will begin carrying out the required procedures.

He described the move as an important milestone that marks Vanguard’s formal entry into Vietnam.

He emphasized that completing the procedures under the new regulations will give global investors firsthand experience of Vietnam’s investment environment.

The meeting took place as Vanguard expressed appreciation for the Vietnamese government and regulators’ broader efforts to improve the investment climate and modernize the legal framework, especially through new measures designed to facilitate international capital flows.

FTSE Russell announced on October 8 that Vietnam will be upgraded from frontier to secondary emerging market status beginning September 21, 2026, pending an interim review in March 2026.

The decision follows nearly seven years of reform since Vietnam was first placed on the FTSE watchlist in 2018.

Founded in 1975 and headquartered in Pennsylvania, Vanguard offers investment products, savings tools, financial advice, retirement services, and market insights to clients around the world.

Vietnam’s Long An port receives People Development recognition at global maritime bulk shipping awards

Wednesday, November 19, 2025, 14:35 GMT+7

Vietnam’s Long An International Port has outperformed ports and logistics enterprises worldwide to win the People Development Award at the 2025 International Bulk Journal Awards, held in Liverpool City, England early this week.

The international port, located in Tay Ninh Province in southern Vietnam, became the first Vietnamese enterprise to receive this honor on Monday, according to a press release issued the same day.

The recognition marks a breakthrough for Long An International Port as it seeks to promote the cultural, social and economic values of Vietnam and contribute to raising the country's global profile.

It also further reinforces the reputation of Vietnamese logistics on the global stage.

The International Bulk Journal Awards are presented by the UK-based International Bulk Journal, a magazine covering the maritime dry bulk industry for over 40 years.

The awards recognize individuals and organizations for outstanding achievements in the maritime bulk sector.

Vo Quoc Huy, chairman and CEO of Long An International Port, said the team was proud to be recognized among organizations, businesses, and industry peers from around the world.

“We want the international community to know that Vietnamese enterprises continue to strive for excellence and to reach new heights,” Huy stated. 

“For us, people are our most valuable asset and the foundation of every success.

“Building a people-centered workplace is key to advancing further and creating positive impacts in the community.”

Throughout its formation and development, Long An International Port has built a long-term human resources strategy, prioritizing training and management skill development.

It also focuses on comprehensive employee welfare, encourages innovation, and fosters a dynamic, modern work environment.

These efforts have improved operational efficiency and service quality, enhancing port performance and contributing to the socio-economic development of the local area and the wider region.

“The development of Long An International Port has created a positive ripple effect, encouraging and promoting collaboration between local authorities, businesses, and educational institutions, helping to shape a sustainable logistics ecosystem in Tay Ninh,” Huy added.

The 1,935-hectare Long An International Port project cluster in Tan Tap Commune, Tay Ninh Province represents the seamless integration of a seaport service complex with supporting facilities, laying the foundation for a future industrial ecosystem.

The project includes a port zone, an industrial park, an industrial service area, and an urban area.

Currently, the port zone operates seven berths with a total length of 1,670 meters, capable of accommodating vessels up to 70,000 DWT.

In the near future, Long An International Port plans to expand to nine berths, with a continuous length of 2,368 meters, handling vessels over 100,000 DWT and achieving a throughput capacity of 3 million TEU or 10 million tons of general cargo.

Henig:  IMO: This is how you strengthen international trade logistics--by making deals with other ports. When you look further down the article, you see that it's not just Kobe in Japan. "Key partner ports include Port of Oakland, Port of Long Beach, Port of Portland, Port of Gothenburg in Sweden, SPG-Bohaiwan Port in China, OPASCOR in the Philippines, and others." That's a pretty strong list of partner/preferred ports.

Vietnam’s Long An port cuts deal with Japanese port

Wednesday, November 19, 2025, 08:06 GMT+7

Long An International Port in Tay Ninh Province, southern Vietnam and Port of Kobe in Japan signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on Monday to establish a strategic port partnership with a view to promoting trade, strengthening connectivity, and enhancing readiness for global integration.

The signing was made within the framework of the Investment, Labor, and Trade Promotion Program in Japan from November 16 to 22.

The signing ceremony was attended by Pham Tan Hoa, vice-chairman of the Tay Ninh People’s Committee, Ngo Trinh Ha, Consul General of Vietnam in Osaka, Nguyen Thanh Vung, chairman of the Provincial Inspection Committee, Pham Xuan Bach, director of the provincial Department of Home Affairs, Truong Van Liep, director of the provincial Department of Finance, and Huynh Van Quang Hung, director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, and representatives from the Kobe City authorities and Port of Kobe.

The promotion program features a series of conferences held across major economic hubs in Japan, including the Kansai-Tay Ninh Investment Connection Conference in Osaka on Monday, the Tay Ninh Investment Promotion Conference in Tokyo on Wednesday, and the Labor and Investment Promotion Conference in Yamanashi on Thursday.

Vice-chairman Hoa said that Japan is one of the province’s leading trade partners, getting involved in 176 projects with a total pledged capital of over US$1.26 billion.

The deal was also aimed at facilitating connections with global partners and customers, developing green port and smart port models, applying advanced management technologies to reduce carbon emissions, and training and exchanging high-quality logistics professionals in line with international standards and practices.

Long An International Port has proactively expanded its global partnerships, enabling the port to learn from international practices, exchange technical expertise, and collaborate on value-added projects.

Key partner ports include Port of Oakland, Port of Long Beach, Port of Portland, Port of Gothenburg in Sweden, SPG-Bohaiwan Port in China, OPASCOR in the Philippines, and others.

Kobe, located in Hyogo Prefecture in the Kansai region along Osaka Bay, is one of Japan’s earliest and most advanced international ports, established in 1868.

Built in 2015, Long An International Port, located in Tan Tap Commune, some 30 kilometers south of Ho Chi Minh City, has rapidly affirmed its role as a key cargo consolidation and transshipment hub in the region.

The port helps ease congestion at Ho Chi Minh City port clusters, reducing urban traffic pressure, and significantly optimizing logistics costs for enterprises across the Mekong Delta.

With both Vietnam and Japan possessing long coastlines and strong maritime economic potential, this partnership continues to deepen the friendship between the two ports, two localities, and two nations, toward a sustainable and prosperous future built on a foundation of solid cooperation.
