Tishwash:  Tomorrow, the Security Council will hold a session on the situation in Iraq.

The United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) announced on Monday that the Security Council will hold a session on the situation in Iraq on Tuesday.

A statement from the mission, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), said that "the United Nations Security Council will hold a session on the situation in Iraq tomorrow, Tuesday, at 10:00 a.m. New York time (6:00 p.m. Baghdad time)."

The statement added that "the Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations in Iraq, Mohammed Al-Hassan, is expected to brief the session on developments in Iraq and on the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI)."  link

Tishwash”  An economist reveals an "impending shock" threatening creditors with the possibility of a change in the exchange rate!

Economic researcher Aziz Shwan confirmed that the Iraqi economy has recently witnessed direct effects of the policies of the government, which recently became a caretaker government, noting that these policies have had positive results and others burdened with future challenges.

Shwan explained to the newspaper's platform that the government has taken a series of measures to curb the outflow of hard currency abroad by tightening controls on dollar export channels and reducing unregulated activities. This has contributed to encouraging large investors to direct their investments domestically instead of transferring them abroad. This has had a positive impact on the local market by stimulating the productive and service sectors and giving the economy a degree of relative stability.

In contrast, Schwan pointed out that the significant expansion in government projects, especially infrastructure projects, has forced the government to increasingly rely on financing through domestic debt to cover growing obligations, creating additional pressure on public finances.

The researcher warned that the incoming government might find itself compelled to reassess the dinar's exchange rate against the dollar to make it more realistic, which could negatively impact domestic creditors, given that a significant portion of the public debt is denominated in dinars. He explained that any increase in the official dollar exchange rate would lead to a decrease in the real value of what creditors receive, threatening to create financial pressure on investors and institutions reliant on local debt instruments.

Shwan concluded by saying that the current stage represents a sensitive economic turning point for Iraq, where attempts to strengthen monetary stability intersect with the increasing requirements for financing government projects, stressing the need to adopt balanced financial and monetary planning and rearrange spending priorities to avoid side effects that may affect the market and investors and negatively impact the budgets of future years. link

Tishwash:  Al-Sudani: Iraq is going through a recovery phase and regaining its leading role in the region.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Monday that Iraq is going through a recovery phase and regaining its leading role in the region, while stressing the need to keep ambassadors away from any political alignments or squabbles .

His office said in a statement received by the Mail that “Al-Sudani received the new Iraqi ambassadors on Monday, congratulating them on gaining the confidence of the government and the House of Representatives to represent their country diplomatically in various countries around the world .”

Al-Sudani stressed that “the ambassadors’ mission is not a privilege but a duty and responsibility to represent the country, and they have the duty to defend the interests of Iraq and its people in all their diversity and components, by investing their expertise in diplomatic work,” stressing that “the selection of ambassadors was subject to criteria and requirements, and we are all confident in those who were chosen to be keen on representing Iraq in the best possible way, and to contribute to formulating the strategy of Iraqi diplomacy, and building a modern diplomacy that keeps pace with the requirements of the future .”

He pointed out that "the ambassador must stay away from any political alignments or squabbles," stressing that "Iraq is currently going through a phase of recovery, stability and restoring its leading role in the region, despite the events it has witnessed ."

He added: “Our government has managed to maintain a clear approach to foreign policy, establish broad relations, and not limit them to certain countries. We have maintained our principled position towards the Palestinian issue and the Zionist aggression, which has affected Arab and Islamic countries. Iraq’s balanced position regarding the events and developments in the region must be highlighted, while preserving the interests of Iraq and its people .”

He continued: "We are working to strengthen economic partnerships, and it is among the ambassadors' tasks to present studies and proposals in this regard," indicating that "the work of embassies should reflect the positive developments in development, reconstruction and stability in Iraq ."

He pointed out that "work in the field of economic diplomacy must be strengthened, and we seek to move from a rentier economy to a diversified one, and we have worked on developing the economy through a series of banking, customs and tax reforms, to contribute to creating an attractive investment environment ."

He continued: “We face environmental challenges and a water crisis, which requires a pivotal diplomatic role in negotiating with the countries concerned and international organizations. We emphasize strengthening the role of (soft diplomacy) through cultural and sporting aspects that bring peoples closer together .”

He explained that "all capabilities will be ready to support the path of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our ambassadors in various capitals, and the joint committees must be maintained and activated, because they represent the framework of foreign relations between Iraq and the rest of the countries ."

He pointed out that "during the days of the former regime, Iraqi citizens used to flee from Iraqi embassies, but today the state, its institutions and embassies are at the service of the citizen ."

He concluded by saying, "One of the ambassadors' priorities is to care for the Iraqi communities in all their diversity and with all their needs, and to work on connecting the communities with their country  link

Designing the Perfect Money | Hidden Secrets of Value Ep. 5 | Alan Hibbard

GoldSilver:  12-1-20205

Ever wonder why gold coins appear in nearly every movie, video game, and myth — from Lord of the Rings to Super Mario Bros.?

Deep down, humanity knows gold represents real value.

 In this episode of Hidden Secrets of Value, Alan Hibbard unpacks why that instinct is correct — and why our modern monetary system is collapsing without it.

 He explores the layers of money, revealing how the entire financial system rests on promises built atop a missing foundation: gold, silver, and bitcoin.

👉 In this video, you’ll discover:

The difference between decentralized and distributed systems — and why most crypto projects (and central banks) are not truly decentralized.

The Monetary Layer Pyramid, from Layer 1 (gold) to Layer 4 (credit cards).

Why fiat currencies like the U.S. dollar leak value — and why your energy and time are slipping away with them.

How the 1971 end of the gold standard removed the base layer, triggering decades of financial decay.

 Why gold, silver, and bitcoin must return as the “Layer 1” foundation for personal and economic stability.

💡 Questions this episode explores:

Can any cryptocurrency truly be decentralized?

 What’s the difference between security, scalability, and decentralization — and can all three exist together?

Why does everything in the economy feel unstable — and what can you do to fix it in your own life?

How do gold, silver, and bitcoin function as the true base layer of value?

Alan connects it all: physics, finance, and freedom.

If you’ve ever felt trapped on the financial treadmill, this episode shows how to step off — by rebuilding your foundation on honest money.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Evening 12-1-25

Economist: Talk Of Rising Exchange Rate Is A Media Frenzy To Serve A Specific Group.

Economy |01/12/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:   Economic researcher Diaa Abdul Karim believes that the talk circulating in the public sphere and the media about a rising dollar exchange rate is nothing more than a media frenzy serving the interests of certain financial traders.

Abdul Karim stated that "the exchange rate at official and parallel market outlets remains stable at specific figures despite slight fluctuations, which do not constitute a change in the exchange rate."

He added that "the Iraqi public is apprehensive following media rumors of an anticipated increase in exchange rates, but the reality is different. There is no official government move to raise the exchange rate, and what has occurred is merely a media frenzy."

He clarified that "the government and the monetary authority determine the official exchange rate, and it is unlikely that the rate will be changed at present or even with the arrival of the new government, especially given the stability currently prevailing in local markets."   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=271011

The Central Bank Postpones The Requirement For Prior Customs Declarations Until 2026 And Exempts Four Goods From The Decision.

Economy |  01/12/2025   Mawazin News - Baghdad:  The Central Bank of Iraq has postponed the requirement for companies wishing to purchase US dollars for importing goods until January 2026, with the exception of four specific commodities for which the requirement remains mandatory.

This postponement comes after the procedure was initially scheduled to take effect on Monday, December 1, 2025, as previously announced by the General Authority of Customs.

In an official letter to licensed banks issued on Sunday, November 30, the Central Bank directed the suspension of the prior declaration requirement until January 1, 2026, while maintaining its mandatory nature, effective December 1, for the import of gold and jewelry, mobile phones, cars, and refrigeration equipment.

According to the decision, the prior declaration will be optional for companies importing other goods until the beginning of 2026, after which it will become mandatory. The bank exempted goods that arrived at border crossings before December 1 and for which financial transfer procedures have not yet been completed, as per the invoice or commercial contract.

On November 25, the General Authority of Customs began implementing a procedure requiring companies to pay customs duties in advance and notify the Central Bank through the ASYCUDA system to allow the entry of goods. This has led to difficulties for companies in the Kurdistan Region, as the region does not operate under this system.

In this context, Sami Jalal, advisor to the Minister of Interior in the Kurdistan Regional Government, stated in press remarks reported by the Iraq Observer Agency, “The Kurdistan Region is not part of the ASYCUDA system, and we will be in negotiations with Baghdad regarding pre-clearance customs procedures to resolve this issue before the new year.”

Companies in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region benefit from the official exchange rate set by the Central Bank at 131,000 Iraqi dinars per 100 US dollars, as part of measures to regulate import financing and control border crossings.

The Fed Just Triggered the Final Stage of the Debt Cycle

The Fed Just Triggered the Final Stage of the Debt Cycle

VRIC Media:  11-30-2025

In the intricate dance of global economics, sometimes the most profound shifts happen not with a bang, but with a whisper.

Recent insights from VRIC Media highlight just such a pivotal, yet largely unnoticed, change in Federal Reserve policy – one that could have significant implications for your investments and the purchasing power of your money.

For months, the market watched the Fed as it worked to shrink its balance sheet, a process known as quantitative tightening, aimed at draining excess liquidity.

 But something fundamental has changed. The Fed has quietly stopped shrinking. Even more remarkably, it’s beginning to expand its balance sheet again, injecting fresh liquidity back into an economy that many already describe as overheated.

To the casual observer, this move seems counter-intuitive. We’re in an era marked by:

High stock valuations: Markets seem to defy gravity.

Persistent inflation: Your dollar isn’t going as far as it used to.

Low unemployment: The job market remains robust.

Robust consumer spending: People are still opening their wallets.

Why, then, would the central bank pivot from tightening to easing monetary policy under such conditions?

The answer, as the video brilliantly explains, lies in the escalating needs of government borrowing.

With a national debt ballooning, the U.S. Treasury needs to issue more bonds than ever before. However, the market, particularly for longer-term bonds, isn’t as enthusiastic a buyer as it once was. This forces the Federal Reserve to step in as the “buyer of last resort,” absorbing government debt by creating new money.

This situation, where monetary policy primarily serves to fund government spending rather than control inflation, is known as “fiscal dominance.” It’s a critical, and potentially dangerous, crossroads for any economy.

This dynamic isn’t new; it’s a pattern seen throughout economic history. Billionaire investor Ray Dalio, in his book How Countries Go Broke, details how late-stage debt cycles behave.

When a central bank pumps liquidity into an already strong economy experiencing inflation and high asset prices, it doesn’t stabilize a crisis. Instead, it acts like throwing gasoline on a blazing fire.

This isn’t a healthy bull market; it’s an unsustainable meltup, a “sugar rush” that can feel exhilarating while it lasts. But history teaches us that these cycles inevitably end, often with a sharp market correction when the Fed is eventually forced to tighten again to rein in runaway inflation.

These assets typically outperform during periods of monetary expansion and currency depreciation because they hold intrinsic value independent of central bank policy.

This moment is historic. It marks a new chapter where monetary policy, once seen as an independent arbiter of economic stability, becomes subservient to fiscal needs.

The danger isn’t necessarily an abrupt market crash (though always possible), but a more insidious, slow erosion of currency purchasing power over the long term.

The greatest risk lies in complacency – underestimating the long-term consequences of fueling speculative bubbles rather than managing inflation and fostering sustainable growth. Understanding this shift is vital for protecting your wealth and preparing for the economic landscape ahead.

For a deeper dive into this critical analysis and further insights, make sure to watch the full video from VRIC Media. This is information you can’t afford to ignore.

589bull: Apple Already Adopted Ripple Years Ago

589bull: Apple Already Adopted Ripple Years Ago

11-30-2025

589bull   @589bull10000

APPLE adopted Ripple’s Interledger Protocol YEARS ago.

A full baked in, production level adoption:

• Safari added ILP support

• Apple Pay’s Web Payments framework uses ILP identifiers

• ILP STREAM built into the payment request layer

• Every iPhone inherits ILP routing at the browser level

1.5+ BILLION Apple devices → ILP-capable by default.
And Interledger was created by Ripple.

They chose the protocol that CONNECTS all ledgers:

• Fiat

• Stablecoins

• FX rails

• Tokenized assets

• Blockchains (including XRP, XDC, QNT infrastructure)

• Bank deposits

• Apple Pay balances

Interledger = the neutral fabric of the new financial system.

Apple is plugged in

Now stack it up:

• XRP ETFs live

• RLUSD launching

• Banks integrating tokenization

• ODL corridors scaling globally

• Fed + Treasury alignment

• GENIUS Act rails forming

• XRPL AccountSet clusters exploding

• XDC trade rails activating

• BNY Mellon custody infrastructure warming

Interledger is the protocol Apple already adopted.

When liquidity starts ripping across networks at machine speed, all that matters is the router.

And the router is ILP.
The value conduit is XRP.
The interface is Apple.

People are going to wake up one day and realize:

XRP is already installed on every Apple device on Earth.

We’re so early.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

Singapore Expands Ripple’s Regulated Crypto Capabilities, Advancing Institutional Digital Payments

New licensing scope signals rising acceptance of tokenized payment rails across Asia-Pacific.

Overview

• Singapore’s financial regulator has approved an expanded operational scope under Ripple’s Major Payment Institution license, granting broader authority to facilitate regulated digital-token payment services.

• The new approval enables banks, corporates, and financial institutions to use Ripple’s platform for regulated digital payments — including the use of tokens such as XRP and Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin.

• The expansion aligns with Singapore’s long-term strategy to lead digital-asset innovation and support institutional-grade payment infrastructure.

Key Developments

• Ripple’s Singapore subsidiary can now provide a full end-to-end payments stack, including collection, custody, swapping, and cross-border payout capabilities through regulated channels.

• Rapid growth across Asia-Pacific — with on-chain transaction activity recently reported up more than 70% year-over-year — has strengthened Singapore’s position as a regional digital-asset hub.

• Ripple stated the updated license will streamline institutional workflows and accelerate adoption of tokenized payments across high-volume corridors.

• The development follows broader regional momentum toward regulated stablecoins, digital-payment protocols, and automated liquidity networks.

Why It Matters

The formal integration of tokenized assets into regulated payments systems reflects a deeper shift in global monetary architecture. As institutions transition toward blockchain-enabled settlement, traditional banking rails face increasing competition from faster, programmable, cross-border digital payment networks. This transition may define the next decade of global finance.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 3 — Institutional Restructuring, Monetary Policy & Systemic Shift

A major regulator expanding tokenized-payment permissions for an institutional provider signals a structural transition away from legacy correspondent-banking systems and toward digital, automated, interoperable payment rails.

Pillar 2 — Currency & Reserve System / FX

As stablecoins and digital tokens become embedded in licensed financial infrastructure, global currency flows may increasingly route through tokenized systems, changing liquidity dynamics and reducing reliance on traditional fiat-only pathways.

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

Global Manufacturing Slump Deepens, Signaling Broader Economic Weakness Ahead

Sharp declines across Europe and Asia raise concerns about demand contraction and capital-market vulnerability.

Overview

• New manufacturing data from major European and Asian economies shows a sharp decline in November output, marking one of the steepest month-over-month contractions this year.

• The slump reflects weakening global demand, persistent cost pressures, and reduced export activity across multiple regions.

• Analysts warn that the slowdown could spill over into equities, commodities, and global capital markets.

Key Developments

• Surveys show that both new orders and production volumes fell at a faster-than-expected pace, underscoring a widespread loss of industrial momentum.

• Asian manufacturers — including sectors in China, Japan, and South Korea — reported reduced forward bookings and weaker global shipping volumes.

• European manufacturers continued to struggle with declining consumer demand and elevated input costs, compounding existing recession fears.

• Economists note that the slowdown is beginning to affect corporate earnings expectations, credit conditions, and investor sentiment.

Why It Matters

A synchronized manufacturing downturn across major economies is a high-impact leading indicator that global growth may be entering a prolonged cooling phase. This environment typically triggers a flight to safety, with investors shifting from risk-heavy sectors into hard assets, metals, defensive equities, cash equivalents, and digital stores of value.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 4 — Markets (Equities, Capital Flows)

A slowdown in global manufacturing threatens earnings, investor appetite, and liquidity — increasing market fragility and encouraging a reallocation toward safer or non-traditional assets.

Pillar 5 — Metals & Hard Assets

As industrial weakness pressures financial markets, investors often seek refuge in gold, silver, and other tangible assets, reinforcing the hard-asset pillar of the reset narrative.

Pillar 2 — Currency & Reserve System / FX

Recessionary conditions typically generate currency volatility, driving strategic portfolio hedging and raising questions about long-term reserve stability.

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

Tishwash:  A senior US official arrives in Baghdad

U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Michael Regas arrived in Baghdad on Monday, December 1, 2025, on an official visit to strengthen relations between the United States and Iraq.

The visit includes meetings with Iraqi officials and a visit to American diplomatic facilities.

The visit aims to support shared goals of achieving sovereignty and prosperity and enhancing stability and security in the region.  link

Tishwash:  “Key” is the guarantor of Iraq’s funds

 The global smart card company's vision stems from the concept of "an easier life," where financial services are guaranteed for both citizens and the state. It relies on the best electronic systems to prevent the misappropriation or misuse of public funds.

One of the company's most significant achievements for the country was uncovering a large number of fraudulent individuals who had no real existence and were instead depriving legitimate beneficiaries of government financial support. Through its advanced technologies, the company ensured the smooth flow of funds to the rightful recipients.

 To guarantee everyone's rights, the company adopts and leverages the best smart systems worldwide to offer advanced products characterized by ease of payment. This makes it the first national company to provide world-class services and keep pace with the latest developments in the international electronic payment field.

The company recognizes its significant responsibility to serve citizens and meet their needs, alleviating the burdens of life by providing world-class financial services. It continues its service operations across a wide area of ​​the country, tailored to the needs of Iraqi families who require easy access to advanced financial products.

A review of financial activities and the payment landscape in Iraq reveals continuous development. The company operates in accordance with the demands of the local market, which seeks sustainable development and requires advanced products that prevent the return of those who manipulate public funds. This is emphasized by the directives of the Iraqi government and the Central Bank of Iraq, which regulates electronic payments and has contributed to a qualitative leap in this field, aiming to transition transactions from cash to electronic.

Adopting the best global payment systems, which facilitate financial transactions and provide them with greater flexibility and security, represents a growing objective for the company in its future endeavors. This is especially crucial given the urgent need to develop the payment system in Iraq, as it is a key driver of economic growth. The volume of work expected in Iraq necessitates the development of the payment system and the adoption of the best global technologies.
"K" Company understands that flexibility in conducting financial transactions is essential for the smooth and continuous operation of business.

Developing the components of electronic payments and keeping abreast of global developments in payment systems are among the most important aspects of its work, ensuring that our products are on par with the best international products.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Nasik Islamic Bank: Expanding customer service channels is a priority

Al-Nasik Islamic Bank confirmed that its management is working to expand its services to citizens by developing banking products that meet the needs of various segments.

A responsible source at the bank stated that the bank seeks to provide practical solutions that facilitate customer transactions and keep pace with the rapid changes in the financial sector.

The source mentioned that the bank's management has developed a plan to introduce new services based on modern technologies and adhering to the Sharia standards that the bank adopts in all its dealings. He pointed out that the goal is to provide a more flexible and faster banking experience, especially with the increasing demand for digital services.

He added that the bank is focusing on promoting a culture of modern banking transactions in line with the trends of the national market, noting that management closely monitors customer feedback and strives to improve procedures to ensure better service.  link

Tishwash:  The Central Bank identifies 3 solutions to address the debt issue

The Central Bank of Iraq identified three solutions to address the country's debt problem.

While noting that a large part of the internal debt could be addressed through joint understandings, it stressed the need to diversify non-oil revenues and increase investments, asserting that these approaches would transform the economy from a rentier economy to a diversified and productive one.

Earlier, a number of economic experts downplayed the risks of Iraq’s internal and external public debt, stressing that its ratio is still within the safe international standard range, indicating that the strength of the foreign currency reserves has contributed to the stability of Iraq’s financial situation.

Amid this, the Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Dr. Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, stated in a statement to Al-Sabah last week that “only $3 billion remains of the Paris Club debt, and it will be settled by 2028, and that 47% of the internal debt remains within the investment portfolio of the Central Bank of Iraq, and it is covered as cash liquidity or cash liabilities at a rate of more than 100% in foreign currency, thanks to the strength of Iraq’s foreign reserves.”

The official spokesperson for the Central Bank, Alaa Al-Fahd, explained to Al-Sabah newspaper that “all countries, including the United States of America, have internal and external debts,” indicating that debt is not considered negative for the economy if it is directed towards investment spending, because it generates 

For additional entry.

Al-Fahd continued, "The debts in Iraq are to cover the operational budget deficit, meaning they are directed towards consumption, and therefore they are a future constraint on debt repayment." 

And its installments and interest.”

Al-Fahd identified three ways to address the country’s debt, most notably diversifying non-oil revenues, increasing investments, and partnering with the private sector, which could reduce dependence on oil, while acknowledging the difficulty of achieving the latter option in a short period of time.

Al-Fahd explained that the external debt amounts to $13 billion, while the internal debt amounts to 91 trillion dinars, noting that a large part of it can be dealt with because the banks are government-owned and state-owned, ruling out that these debts pose any danger to the economic reality, but continuing to rely on debt constitutes a warning bell, according to his description.

For his part, Dr. Ahmed Al-Hathal, Professor of Economics at Al-Mustansiriya University, said that the problem does not lie in the size of the debt as much as it lies in the way it is financed.

Al-Hathal added to Al-Sabah that “financing the deficit through the monetary institution by discounting bonds and financing current spending is the most dangerous path because it leads to unproductive monetary expansion that raises inflation and puts pressure on the exchange rate, and it also weakens the balance sheet of the central bank after it has come to own a large part of the internal debt, which is a worrying situation in any economy.”

He explained that the danger lies in the rentier nature of the economy, with inflated operating spending, stagnant non-oil revenues, and the inability of productive sectors to generate added value. This makes domestic borrowing for consumption, rather than investment, a future burden, because the state will pay off the debt burden by putting pressure on the limited tax capacity of the national taxpaying power, while the risks move from banks to public finances and then directly to the currency.

Al-Hathal explained that the accumulation of non-tradable bonds limits the ability of the monetary policymaker to manage liquidity and increases the fragility of the financial position, while inflationary financing leads to greater pressure on foreign reserves and depletes stabilization tools, making the currency vulnerable to decline with any oil shock.

He pointed out that talking about diversifying revenues and increasing investment remains logical in principle, but it does not address the real problem of continuing to finance the deficit in a way that generates inflation, increases monetary expansion, and weakens the ability to stabilize the currency, at a time when obligations are rising year after year without real structural reform. link

Militia Man  There's a thing called the FATF, the Financial Action Task Force grade list.  Review could take Iraq completely off this watch list is scheduled for the first part of 2026, but it is not a prerequisite for a revaluation...It's all coming together on schedule.

Mnt Goat   Article:  "THE CENTRAL BANK SETTLES THE DEBATE: THERE IS NO INTENTION TO AMEND THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE IRAQI DINAR"  This means no intention to devalue the dinar, get it? 

Frank26   Kuwait, 1991, two weeks before they did an RV, before they came out with a new rate, their central bank released new note verification guides.  That's what we're expecting.  We call them the bulletin boards so the citizens wouldn't panic when the old notes suddenly became 1,000 time the street value.  That was 1991...Germany in 1948, Renton Bank  published, "currency exchange procedures" 10 days before the DM launched so that the public would know exactly how to walk in and trade their worthless paper for real currency.  China back in 2015, the PBOC issued, "Offshore CNH handling instructions 72 hours before the stealth de-pegging...These scenarios have happened many time in the past.

France Is in TOTAL MELTDOWN — And Europe Is Next

Lena Petrova:  12-1-2025

For decades, France has been viewed as a cornerstone of European stability—an economic heavyweight, a political leader, and the EU’s second-largest economy.

But today, a dramatic new question is emerging across Europe: Is France becoming the new sick man of Europe?

In this video, we break down why analysts, investors, and even other EU governments are sounding the alarm about France’s political paralysis, soaring debt, and deepening economic crisis.

🔻 KEY THEMES COVERED

 • France’s political collapse after Macron’s disastrous 2024 snap elections

• A parliament split into three hostile blocs, unable to pass a national budget

• France’s exploding public debt—now over €3 trillion

 • Why interest payments may hit €100 billion a year by the end of the decade

• Fitch’s recent downgrade and what it signals about investor confidence

• Rising tensions inside the EU as France becomes the bloc’s weak link

 • Why analysts fear an IMF or ECB intervention is no longer unthinkable

• How the 2027 French presidential election could trigger a market “freak-out moment”

As we explore today, France’s crisis is not only about economics—it’s about governance, institutions, and political fragmentation.

With the left, the right, and the center locked in a permanent three-way standoff, France cannot make decisions, even as its fiscal situation deteriorates.

Meanwhile, the rest of Europe is watching with a mix of concern and disbelief. Bond markets now treat French debt as riskier than that of Greece, Spain, or Portugal—countries devastated during the eurozone crisis.

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Geopolitical Tensions Reshape Investor Behavior Amid Shifting Global Alliances

Heightened uncertainty over conflict, energy security, and alliance structures pushes capital toward safer, alternative stores of value.

Overview

• Persistent geopolitical instability — especially surrounding Ukraine, energy security, and defense coordination — is driving investors back toward safe-haven assets.

• Growing skepticism about traditional alliance structures has led market analysts to revisit the possibility of new settlement mechanisms, regional blocs, or alternative currency arrangements.

• Volatility in defense and energy policy continues to influence global capital flows, intensifying concerns about systemic imbalances in the existing financial order.

Key Developments

• Military and diplomatic uncertainty remains elevated, prompting defensive investment strategies and increasing attention to metals, commodities, and non-traditional assets.

• Energy supply anxieties continue to pressure markets as winter demand rises and logistical risks persist, forcing investors to account for geopolitical disruptions.

• Expanding discussions around alternative settlement frameworks — including new trade blocs and currency pathways — reflect rising doubts about the durability of the current monetary system.

• Analysts note that investor psychology is increasingly tied to the perception of systemic realignment, not just short-term conflict dynamics.

Why It Matters

The continued geopolitical volatility reinforces a global environment defined by uncertainty, where traditional institutions and alliances appear less stable than in previous cycles. This atmosphere encourages both governments and investors to explore alternative financial systems, new trade routes, and non-Western monetary structures, all of which feed directly into the broader narrative of a coming restructuring in global governance and finance.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 1 — Diplomacy & Peace / Geopolitics

Persistent conflict, shifting alliances, and rising geopolitical distrust are accelerating conversations about whether the old global order can maintain cohesion. These tensions create openings for new coalitions and alternative governance models.

Pillar 3 — Institutional Restructuring & Systemic Shift

Growing interest in new trade and currency blocs underscores a re-evaluation of existing systems, with geopolitical pressures acting as the catalyst. As confidence erodes in legacy frameworks, momentum builds for structural change in how nations coordinate economically and politically.

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

Dollar Weakness Deepens as Markets Price in 2026 Rate Cuts

Shifting expectations for U.S. monetary policy raise questions about future reserve-currency balance.

Overview

• The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) continued to fall, with futures sliding into the 99.40–99.50 range, reflecting growing market conviction that the Federal Reserve will adopt a more dovish stance heading into 2026.

• This persistent dollar softness is renewing speculation about a long-term shift in the global reserve-currency structure, as investors weigh the implications of sustained monetary easing.

• Analysts note increasing interest in diversifying away from USD-centric portfolios, fueling discussions about alternative currencies and multi-polar FX arrangements.

Key Developments

• Futures markets now overwhelmingly anticipate rate cuts, citing slowing economic momentum and moderating inflation indicators.

• The decline in dollar strength is strengthening foreign-currency performance broadly, particularly in emerging-market FX.

• Institutional investors are again revisiting the idea of reserve diversification, a topic that historically gains traction whenever the dollar shows extended cyclical weakness.

• The shift has revived public debate around future global reserve weighting, including potential roles for gold, commodities, and digital settlement assets.

Why It Matters

Dollar volatility is more than a market story — it is a structural question about the durability of U.S. monetary leadership. As rate expectations pivot, the global financial system must reassess its assumptions about liquidity, pricing power, and cross-border flows. A sustained period of dollar weakness would have direct implications for trade, debt sustainability, and the geopolitical balance built on USD dominance.

Implications for the Global Reset

Pillar 2 — Currency & Reserve System / FX

Markets are increasingly preparing for a potential re-weighting of global reserves, driven by shifting interest-rate trajectories and weakening confidence in the dollar’s singular role.

Pillar 3 — Institutional Restructuring & Systemic Shift

The scenario reinforces broader discussions about reshaping the global monetary architecture, with more nations signaling interest in diversified FX exposure, regional settlement currencies, and alternative stores of value.

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

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Monday Morning 12-1-25

In Numbers: An Expert Reveals The Size Of Oil And Non-Oil Revenues And The Financial Deficit In Iraq

Baratha News Agency186 2025  Economic expert Haider Al-Sheikh revealed on Sunday (November 30, 2025) the latest figures related to oil and non-oil revenues, in addition to the size of the financial deficit that Iraq is facing during the current year.  The sheikh said in a press statement that oil export revenues during the past ten months amounted to 89 trillion dinars, and are expected to rise to 105 trillion dinars by the end of the year.

He added that "non-oil revenues will reach 13 trillion dinars by the end of the year."

The sheikh explained that “approximately 80 trillion dinars of the total annual revenues are spent on the salaries of employees and retirees and the social protection network, while the remainder goes to the state’s general expenditures.”

He pointed to "a financial deficit estimated at 30 trillion dinars," attributing this to "the size of current spending and the government's inability to disburse the dues and requirements of a number of ministries, most notably the Ministry of Health, due to the budget schedules not being approved yet."

For years, the Iraqi economy has been heavily reliant on oil revenues, which constitute more than 90% of the country's resources, making public finances highly vulnerable to fluctuations in global oil prices. Although the government has announced plans in recent years to increase non-oil revenues, their contribution remains limited and insufficient to meet the growing needs of public spending.

The budget also depends on the salaries and social transfers section, which represents the largest expenditure item, while the service ministries suffer from a lack of funding and continued delays in disbursing their dues due to the failure to approve the detailed budget schedules.   https://burathanews.com/arabic/economic/468385

Iraq Is The Third Largest Supplier Of Oil To America Last Week

Sunday, November 30, 2025 | Economy Number of views: 271   Baghdad/ NINA / Iraq ranked third among the top oil exporters to the United States last week, marking a significant increase, according to figures released Sunday by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).

The EIA reported that "U.S. crude oil imports averaged 5.692 million barrels per day (bpd) last week from eight major countries, up 335,000 bpd from the previous week's 5.337 million bpd." The report

added that "Iraq's oil exports to the U.S. averaged 378,000 bpd, up 286,000 bpd from the previous week's 92,000 bpd, placing it third among oil exporters to the United States."

The EIA also noted that "the largest share of U.S. oil imports last week came from Canada, followed by Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil."

According to the table, "US crude oil imports continued from Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela, while no imports came from Ecuador or Libya last week." /End   https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1264416

The Central Bank Determines The Size Of Iraq's Internal And External Debts.

Banks   Economy News — Baghdad   The Central Bank of Iraq confirmed that Iraq’s debts are to cover the operational deficit and do not pose a direct threat to the economy.

Central Bank spokesman Alaa Al-Fahd told the official newspaper that "all countries, including the United States of America, have internal and external debts," explaining that debts are not considered negative for the economy if they are directed towards investment spending, because they generate additional income.

He continued, "The debts in Iraq are to cover the deficit in the operational budget, meaning they are directed towards consumption, and therefore they are a future constraint for paying the debt, its installments and interest."

Al-Fahd identified three ways to address the country's debt, most notably diversifying non-oil revenues, increasing investments, and partnering with the private sector, which could reduce dependence on oil, while acknowledging the difficulty of achieving the latter option in a short period of time.

He explained that the external debt amounts to $13 billion, while the internal debt amounts to 91 trillion dinars, noting that a large part of it can be dealt with because the banks are government-owned and state-owned, ruling out that these debts pose any danger to the economic reality, but continuing to rely on debt constitutes a warning bell.

Government Direction To Enhance Digital Transformation And Improve The Efficiency Of Official Transactions

Money and Business   Economy News — Baghdad   The General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers directed on Sunday that government mail services continue to operate in support of the digital transformation process.

She added that "this directive came within the framework of the efforts overseen by the Secretary-General of the Council of Ministers, aimed at promoting digital transformation as an approved course of action in state institutions, as well as simplifying administrative procedures, raising the efficiency of completing transactions, and creating a more effective work environment that is characterized by transparency and accuracy in data handling and archiving, which contributes to improving the quality of services provided to citizens." https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=62876
