So we now know that Iraq’s transition to a fully digital payment ecosystem in state institutions locks in by July 2026, with the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) enforcing cashless mandates across government offices and facilities.
This builds on the 2025 announcement of a digital dinar framework to gradually supplant paper notes overtime, aligning with broader modernization drives that include banking sector reviews by firms like Oliver Wyman.

The shift compresses dollarization pressures while preparing infrastructure for tokenized or multicurrency platforms that could underpin future value adjustments. Something you all are familiar with by now.
Parallel market gaps narrow as reserves strengthen and oil revenues stabilize, creating operational space for private-sector rate mechanisms detached from the visible 1,300 IQD/USD official peg. Please keep that in mind.
High-level exchanges already occured over the years through tiered, invitation-only channels whales and select entities have cycled positions for years without public rate disruption indicating layered liquidity pools that bypass CBI’s daily auctions. I told you all this has been going on since 2016. Which was when I was supposed to exchange.
This link should show you this revaluation is a primary goal for the current administration. https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/15/devaluing-dollar-trump-trade-war-00152009
Next Up We Have This Particular Objective
U.S. legislative architecture accelerates in parallel, with the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act (CLARITY Act of 2025) having cleared the House in July 2025 on a 294-134 bipartisan vote but remaining stalled in the Senate over stablecoin yield disputes and banking industry pushback.
The bill divides oversight between SEC and CFTC, certifies mature blockchain systems, and carves exemptions for digital commodities, positioning tokenized assets including potential foreign currency representations as regulated instruments.
GENIUS Act (signed July 18, 2025) enforces 100% reserve backing for payment stablecoins, monthly disclosures, and federal-state alignment, laying groundwork for secure, auditable redemption flows.
SAVE America Act (passed House February 2026) focuses on voter integrity measures like documentary proof of citizenship but carries no direct currency linkage its passage removes procedural hurdles in a broader reform environment, easing momentum for market-structure bills.
Privately speaking in recent years private foreign currency exchanges operated in compartmentalized tiers outside public forex.
Tier 4B-style redemptions high-value, project-backed, NDA-enforced route through secure facilities (select banks, private trusts, military-affiliated nodes) at contract/historic rates detached from spot markets. These have processed discreetly for years, with whales cycling positions while maintaining surface stability at 1,300.
Future trajectories hinge on tokenized frameworks: once CLARITY clears Senate hurdles (likely Q2–Q3 2026 amid yield compromises), redemption infrastructure integrates blockchain certification for auditable, non-Rothschild-linked flows.

“Tidbits From TNT” Saturday 3-21-2026
TNT:
Tishwash: Washington warns attacks by “Iran-aligned militias” threaten Iraq’s stability
The US State Department on Wednesday condemned attacks by “Iran and Iran-aligned militias” targeting American interests in Iraq, warning that continued assaults could threaten the country’s stability and risk drawing it into “a broader regional conflict.”
A State Department spokesperson told Shafaq News that such incidents have repeatedly targeted “U.S. diplomatic personnel and facilities, civilian targets, and energy infrastructure in Iraq.”

Tishwash: Washington warns attacks by “Iran-aligned militias” threaten Iraq’s stability
The US State Department on Wednesday condemned attacks by “Iran and Iran-aligned militias” targeting American interests in Iraq, warning that continued assaults could threaten the country’s stability and risk drawing it into “a broader regional conflict.”
A State Department spokesperson told Shafaq News that such incidents have repeatedly targeted “U.S. diplomatic personnel and facilities, civilian targets, and energy infrastructure in Iraq.”
The spokesperson also referred to recent remarks by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who urged Iraqi authorities to “take all possible measures to safeguard U.S. diplomatic personnel and facilities and ensure militia groups cannot use Iraqi territory to threaten the United States or the region,” noting, “Doing so is in Iraq’s interest.” link
Tishwash: The dollar is manipulating the Shammar dishdashas, but Rabia will not compromise on her Eid elegance.
The dollar is above 1500 dinars, and vendors are talking about prices that are double, even in the most remote cities of Iraq.
With the arrival of Eid al-Fitr and people heading to the markets to shop, residents of Al-Awainat village, which belongs to the Rabi’a district in Nineveh, compare prices last year with current prices. Sellers say that a clear increase can be observed, reaching double the price for some goods. Rifa’i Shatti, the owner of a children’s clothing store, told 964 Network that children’s dresses were sold last year for prices close to 10,000 dinars, while this year they have reached 30,000 dinars.
In their simple analysis and reading of the market, the locals attribute this rise to the large increase in the dollar exchange rate, which exceeded the threshold of 155,000 dinars per hundred dollars, in addition to the new customs tariff system “ASYCUDA”, which ended the estimated customs duties on containers and turned them into specific customs duties for each imported item.
Sales at Hadhil Abdul Karim's wholesale food store were unaffected, because buying sweets is an indispensable part of the holiday traditions, no matter how high the prices rise.
Fadel Halil, a citizen from Al-Awainat village, told 964 Network that the used dishdasha (bare) he used to buy for Eid was much more expensive than last year, demanding fairness from shop owners and merchants. Anwar Tharwi, the owner of a men's (new) clothing shop, indicated that the price increase was also evident in his products. link
****************
Tishwash: Washington grants temporary sanctions waiver for Iranian oil sales
The United States has granted a temporary 30-day sanctions waiver for the sale of Iranian oil at sea, in a move aimed at easing pressure on global energy supplies amid escalating military tensions in the region.
Reuters quoted US Treasury Secretary Scott Bisent as saying that the Trump administration had issued a general license allowing the sale of Iranian crude oil and petroleum products loaded onto ships, effective from March 20 to April 19.
Bisent explained that this step comes as part of efforts to increase supply in global markets, noting that opening this supply temporarily could add about 140 million barrels of oil, which would contribute to easing pressure on markets and stabilizing prices.
This is the third such exemption in about two weeks, indicating a phased US approach to dealing with the repercussions of disrupted energy supplies, in parallel with the continuation of sanctions imposed on Tehran.
These measures come at a time when global energy markets are facing increasing challenges as a result of geopolitical tensions, prompting a number of countries to take exceptional measures to ensure stable supplies and avoid sharp price fluctuations. link

Cross-border payments remain one of the most outdated components of the global financial system.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Global Reset Series – Part 4
The Global Payment System Is Being Rebuilt
International regulators are working to modernize cross-border payments, which remain slow and costly despite advances in financial technology.
Overview
Cross-border payments remain one of the most outdated components of the global financial system.
Many international transfers still rely on complex correspondent banking networks, which can result in:
• slow settlement times• high transaction fees• limited transparency
To address these issues, the G20 has launched a global initiative to modernize payment infrastructure.
Key Developments
1. International institutions are coordinating reforms
Organizations leading these efforts include:
• Financial Stability Board• Bank for International Settlements• International Monetary Fund
These institutions are working to create faster, cheaper, and more transparent global payment systems.
2. New technologies are enabling faster settlement
Modern payment platforms are experimenting with:
• real-time payment networks• distributed ledger technology• multi-CBDC settlement platforms
These technologies could reduce cross-border settlement times from several days to minutes or even seconds.
3. The G20 has set ambitious targets
The reform initiative aims to:
• reduce transaction costs to around 1%• dramatically increase payment speed• improve transparency across international transfers
Why It Matters
Payment infrastructure is the plumbing of the global financial system.
Modernizing these systems could significantly improve global trade efficiency and financial integration.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
A faster and more efficient payment system could change how currencies are exchanged and settled internationally.
This is one of the key pillars of any evolving global financial framework.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1 — Global Settlement Infrastructure
Modern payment rails could enable near-instant international financial transactions.
Pillar 2 — Financial Efficiency
Reduced costs and faster payments could increase global economic activity.
Seeds of Wisdom Team View
Payment systems often evolve quietly, but they shape how money flows across the world.
The modernization of global payment infrastructure may ultimately become one of the most important financial upgrades of the digital age.

A Message to Our Currency Holders
If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.
What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.
For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.
That is not your failure.
Our mission here is different: • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus
Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process
Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.
You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.
Protect your identity. Organize your documents. Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.
You deserve truth — not timelines.

European Markets Suffered Weekly Losses As Oil Prices Rose And Investors Anticipated An Interest Rate Hike.
Money and Business The recovery in European indices did not last long, as they closed with a collective decline on Friday, March 20, and suffered weekly losses, as oil prices rose and investors studied the cautious tone adopted by central banks across the continent during the previous session.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 1.5%, reversing its morning gains. All major regional exchanges and sectors posted negative performance.
Meanwhile, the German DAX index fell by 1.94%, closing at 22,397.43 points.
The French CAC 40 index fell by 1.82% to 7,665.62 points.
Meanwhile, Britain’s FTSE 100 lost about 1.45% to 9,917.60 points.
The European Central Bank announced yesterday that the conflict has created upside risks to inflation and downside risks to economic growth, prompting traders to increase their bets on the likelihood of the ECB raising interest rates later this year.
Central Banks Hold Interest Rates Steady
British government bond yields continued their upward trend on Friday, as concerns about an inflationary shock driven by rising energy prices weighed on borrowing cost expectations. Yields on two-year bonds, which are most sensitive to the Bank of England's interest rate policies, jumped 20 basis points to 4.614%.
Meanwhile, yields on 10-year bonds, the benchmark for British government debt, reached their highest level since the 2008 global financial crisis, at 5.020%, marking a rise of 17 basis points during the day.
This increase coincided with new data from the Office for National Statistics showing that total UK public sector borrowing reached £14.3 billion ($19.1 billion) in February, an unexpected year-on-year increase of £2.2 billion.
The Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee voted unanimously on Thursday to keep interest rates steady, with policymakers saying they were "ready to act" to offset the effects of the war, again increasing bets on an interest rate hike later this year.
The European Central Bank announced that the dispute had created "upside risks to inflation and downside risks to economic growth," prompting traders to increase their bets on the likelihood of the ECB raising interest rates later this year.
But European Central Bank policymakers have pointed out that there is considerable uncertainty surrounding the long-term impact of the war, as its effect on inflation depends on the duration of the conflict and the impact of energy price volatility on consumer prices and the economy.
Investors currently expect a greater than 50% probability of an interest rate hike at the European Central Bank's next meeting in April. Traders are pricing in a 100% probability of the Bank of England raising interest rates by June, according to data from the London Stock Exchange Group. Markets view the likelihood of a rate cut this year as nil. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=66952
Iranian Ministry Of Petroleum: No Oil Available For International Markets
Today, The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Petroleum, Saman Qoddusi, has responded to statements made by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent regarding the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil currently held on tankers to assist in lowering global prices.
Writing on the "X" platform, Qoddusi stated: "At the present time, Iran fundamentally possesses no floating crude oil or surplus supply for other international markets."
He added: "The statement by the U.S. Treasury Secretary is intended solely to offer hope to buyers and exercise psychological control over the market."
Bessent had previously remarked that "in the coming days, we may lift sanctions on Iranian oil located at sea, the quantity of which amounts to approximately 140 million barrels." He indicated that releasing sanctioned Iranian oil into global supplies would contribute to reducing crude prices within the next 10 to 14 days.

Oil Minister: Fuel Stations Operating 24/7, Supply Stable Across Iraq
Today Baghdad – INA Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul-Ghani on Friday announced the availability of gasoline, cooking gas, gas oil, and kerosene at fuel stations across Iraq.
Speaking at a press conference followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Abdul-Ghani said, “Today we toured several oil companies operating in Basra, including Basra Oil Company, the country’s primary producer of crude oil and exporter to international markets,” noting that “many measures were discussed in light of the current circumstances.”
He added that “a plan has been developed with the company to reduce production and halt exports from the southern outlets,” explaining that “this plan focuses on supplying crude oil necessary to operate refineries and power plants.”
Abdul-Ghani noted that “the company’s production prior to February 28, 2026, was estimated at 3.3 million barrels per day, while today it has dropped to around 900,000 barrels per day, including 250,000 barrels allocated to southern refineries, with the remaining quantities directed north to operate refineries in central and northern provinces.”
He further explained that “we also visited South Gas Company, a joint venture between Shell and Basra Gas Company for dry and liquefied gas production, where gas collected from fields across Basra—such as Zubair, Rumaila, and West Qurna—is processed into dry gas for power generation and liquefied gas for cooking purposes.”
Abdul-Ghani added, “We also visited South Refineries Company, a key entity in the refining sector with a design capacity of about 250,000 barrels per day, producing white products such as gasoline, diesel, gas oil, kerosene, and some cooking gas, all of which are distributed across Iraq.”
He pointed out that “there are refinery byproducts, mainly black oil and naphtha. Previously, black oil was exported via a pipeline from Shu’aybah to Khor Al-Zubair and loaded onto tankers. However, due to halted exports and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, storage overflow occurred, and these byproducts must now be processed to sustain refinery operations.”
Abdul-Ghani added that “the Ministry of Oil has begun signing new contracts to sell crude oil via tanker transport to outlets outside Iraq,” confirming that “through a crisis cell formed under a Cabinet decision granting exceptional powers, the Ministry managed to process these byproducts to maintain refinery operations and ensure the continuous supply of white products to the domestic market.”
He emphasized that “all fuel stations operate 24 hours a day, and all products are available, including gasoline, gas oil, and kerosene,” noting that “these measures are a top priority for the Ministry to guarantee product availability for citizens.” Abdul-Ghani concluded that “local markets remain stable thanks to the availability of products.”
Oil Minister: Basra Oil Production Reduced To 900,000 Barrels Per Day
Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul-Ghani on Friday announced the reduction of Basra oil production to 900,000 barrels per day.
The Ministry said in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) that “Deputy Prime Minister for Energy Affairs and Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul-Ghani Al-Sawad chaired a meeting on Friday at Basra Oil Company, attended by Undersecretary for Extraction Affairs, Basim Mohammed Khudair, Director General of Basra Oil Company, Basim Abdul-Karim, and senior company staff, to discuss the crude oil production plan in light of recent regional developments.”
According to the statement, the Minister said, “Since the halt of exports from the southern ports, production at the company has been reduced from 3.3 million barrels to 900,000 barrels,” noting that “the quantities produced are being directed to operate refineries.” https://ina.iq/en/economy/46875-oil-minister-basra-oil-production-reduced-to-900000-barrels-per-day.html
US Nut Exports To Iraq Break The $30 Million Barrier
Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The US Departments of Agriculture and Commerce announced on Saturday that the value of US nut exports to the Iraqi market reached a record high, exceeding $30 million in 2025.
According to official data, the quantity of shipments supplied amounted to about 5,606 metric tons, with a total value of $30.57 million, reflecting a radical shift in the volume of trade between the two countries within this food sector.
Statistics showed that the average value of US nut exports to Iraq during the last decade had been stable at $12.43 million annually, meaning that the recently recorded figures represent an exceptional growth rate of 392%.
Observers attribute this rapid rise to increasing local demand in Iraq for high-quality products, and the expansion of American supply chains that have begun to take a larger share of the Iraqi market compared to previous years.
Indonesia Seeks To Raise $5 Billion To Counter The Fallout From A War With Iran
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up Indonesian presidential spokesman Prasetyo Hadi said in an interview published Saturday that Indonesia is seeking to save an estimated 80 trillion rupiah ($5 billion) from its budget to cope with the fallout from a US-Israeli war on Iran.
In a video interview with a number of journalists and experts, President Prabowo Subianto said that his country is making strenuous efforts to improve the efficiency of its budget to cope with the repercussions of the conflict.
The Indonesian central bank had kept its interest rate unchanged last Tuesday, as policymakers monitor the impact of the war in the Middle East on the economy and the local currency, the rupiah.
Central Bank Governor Perry Wargio said the war in the Middle East is worsening the outlook for both the global economy and supply chains, and that the space for monetary easing is shrinking worldwide.
He added that the central bank needs to anticipate and deal with the repercussions of the war on the Indonesian economy and financial markets in order to maintain growth momentum.

$1.8 Trillion Market Meltdown has Begun as Private Credit Bubble Pops
$1.8 Trillion Market Meltdown has Begun as Private Credit Bubble Pops
Lena Petrova: 3-20-2026
The private credit market in the United States has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, driven by stricter bank regulations following the 2008 financial crisis.
As traditional banks pulled back from lending, private investment funds such as Blackstone and Apollo Global Management stepped in to fill the void, providing loans to midsized and riskier firms.
$1.8 Trillion Market Meltdown has Begun as Private Credit Bubble Pops
Lena Petrova: 3-20-2026
The private credit market in the United States has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, driven by stricter bank regulations following the 2008 financial crisis.
As traditional banks pulled back from lending, private investment funds such as Blackstone and Apollo Global Management stepped in to fill the void, providing loans to midsized and riskier firms.
However, this trillion-dollar market is now showing signs of strain, with rising interest rates, widespread defaults, and lack of transparency exposing significant vulnerabilities.
According to Fitch Ratings, the default rate in private credit has reached a record high of 9.2% in 2024, the highest since tracking began. These defaults are not limited to one sector but are widespread, affecting smaller middle-market companies with higher debt and low earnings.
The floating-rate nature of many private credit loans means that borrowers are facing increasing debt servicing costs as benchmark interest rates rise, squeezing cash flows and elevating default risks.
Unlike traditional banks, private credit funds operate with much less regulatory oversight and transparency, making it difficult for investors, regulators, and the market to accurately assess risk exposure. Additionally, private credit loans are illiquid, which complicates investor exit strategies during times of financial stress.
Recently, some funds have restricted withdrawals, further underscoring liquidity challenges.
The problems in private credit extend beyond niche investors, with large institutional investors such as pension funds, insurance companies, and university endowments having significant exposure.
This raises concerns about the potential impact on retirees, policyholders, and overall financial stability. Given the close ties between private credit and private equity, stress in one area could cascade into the other, amplifying systemic risks.
The current economic environment, characterized by elevated interest rates, uncertain growth prospects, and the maturing of debt taken on during prior low-rate periods, constitutes a “real-time stress test” for borrowers and lenders alike.
Private credit flourished during years of easy money but is now revealing its vulnerabilities as financial conditions tighten. The future of private credit remains uncertain; it could either adapt to the new environment or become a source of financial strain, potentially influencing the trajectory of the U.S. economy in the coming years.
While experts do not currently foresee a crisis on the scale of 2008, the ongoing rise in defaults and tightening credit conditions could lead to reduced lending, slower business investment, lower hiring, and weaker economic growth.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has flagged private credit as an important area to monitor closely, indicating the seriousness of the issue.
The private credit market is facing significant challenges, with rising defaults, lack of transparency, and liquidity challenges exposing vulnerabilities. As the market continues to evolve, it is essential to monitor the situation closely, as the potential risks could have far-reaching consequences for the broader financial system.
For further insights and information, watch the full video from Lena Petrova, which provides an in-depth analysis of the rapidly growing but increasingly strained private credit market in the United States.

Mario Innecco discusses the sharp volatility in gold and silver, attributing the recent selloff to short term trading behavior rather than long term fundamentals.
He argues that geopolitical tensions involving Iran may be accelerating a shift away from the petrodollar system, especially with reports of oil being transacted in yuan.
The conversation highlights how energy markets, including oil and natural gas, are being disrupted by conflict and sanctions, which could have global economic ripple effects.
Mario suggests that rising bond yields and fiscal pressures are signaling deeper structural issues rather than traditional inflation dynamics.
Overall, he remains bullish on hard assets, viewing current price declines as part of a larger transition rather than a breakdown in fundamentals.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
Central Banks Shift Course: War-Driven Inflation Shock Reshapes Global Monetary Policy
Energy crisis forces policymakers into a tightening stance, signaling stress across the financial system
Overview
Global central banks are rapidly shifting toward a more hawkish stance as the Middle East conflict fuels a renewed inflation surge.
The war involving Iran, United States, and Israel has triggered a sharp rise in energy prices, forcing policymakers to reconsider earlier expectations of rate cuts.
Markets are now adjusting to a new reality: higher inflation, higher interest rates, and tighter financial conditions.
This marks a critical shift because monetary policy is one of the core pillars of the global financial system.
Key Developments
1. Central Banks Turn Hawkish Amid Energy Shock
Major central banks—including the European Central Bank and Bank of England—are signaling potential rate hikes instead of cuts due to rising inflation risks.
This reflects a major pivot from earlier expectations of easing monetary policy in 2026.
2. Inflation Risks Surge Due to Energy Prices
Oil and gas price spikes are feeding directly into global inflation forecasts, with worst-case scenarios rising significantly.
Energy-driven inflation is particularly dangerous because it spreads across:
Transportation
Food production
Manufacturing
Consumer goods
3. Interest Rate Expectations Rapidly Reprice
Markets that previously expected rate cuts are now pricing in hikes, especially in Europe and other developed economies.
This shift is tightening global liquidity conditions.
4. Currency Markets Begin to Realign
The divergence in central bank policy is already impacting currencies:
The U.S. dollar is weakening against major currencies
The euro, yen, and pound are gaining strength
This reflects capital moving toward regions with higher expected interest rates.
5. Growth Risks Increase as Policy Tightens
Central banks now face a difficult balancing act:
Control inflation
Avoid triggering recession
Higher rates may slow growth, especially in energy-dependent economies.
Why It Matters
Monetary policy determines:
Cost of borrowing
Liquidity in markets
Investment and growth cycles
A global shift toward tighter policy signals rising systemic stress.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Changing interest rate expectations directly impact:
Currency valuations
Capital flows
Purchasing power
As currencies realign, global exchange dynamics are being reshaped in real time.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Monetary System Under Pressure
The shift from easing to tightening highlights fragility in the global monetary system.
Pillar 2: Policy Divergence Accelerates Change
Different responses among central banks could:
Fragment financial systems
Accelerate regional currency blocs
Shift global capital flows
Conclusion
The energy-driven inflation shock is forcing central banks into a rapid and coordinated policy shift.
This is more than a short-term reaction—it signals deeper structural pressure within the global financial system.
As interest rates rise and liquidity tightens, the foundation of global finance is being actively tested.

Energy Crisis Escalates: Global Markets Shake as Oil Shock Triggers Financial Strain
Rising oil prices, supply disruptions, and market volatility signal systemic risk across the global economy
Overview (Key Points)
A deepening global energy shock is sending ripple effects across financial markets, economies, and trade systems worldwide.
Escalating conflict in the Middle East is threatening critical supply routes, particularly the Strait of Hormuz, a key artery for global oil flows.
Oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel, with spikes nearing $119, triggering widespread volatility.
This is evolving into a multi-layered crisis impacting inflation, markets, and economic stability.
Key Developments
1. Oil Prices Surge to Multi-Year Highs
Crude prices have risen sharply due to:
Supply disruption fears
Attacks on energy infrastructure
Reduced shipping through key routes
Brent crude briefly exceeded $119 per barrel, shaking global markets.
2. Strait of Hormuz Disruptions Threaten Global Supply
The Strait of Hormuz carries about one-fifth of global oil supply, making it a critical vulnerability point.
Disruptions are already:
Slowing tanker traffic
Increasing insurance costs
Raising fears of prolonged shortages
3. Financial Markets Turn Volatile
Global stock markets have:
Declined sharply during price spikes
Recovered partially as oil pulled back
This volatility highlights how energy prices are driving broader market behavior.
4. Borrowing Costs and Yields Rise
Bond markets are reacting to inflation fears:
Yields are climbing globally
Borrowing costs are increasing
In some economies, borrowing costs are reaching levels not seen since 2008.
5. IMF Warns of Global Economic Impact
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warns that prolonged high energy prices could:
Increase global inflation
Reduce economic growth
Weaken emerging markets
Even a modest slowdown could have global ripple effects.
Why It Matters
Energy shocks affect:
Inflation
Economic growth
Financial markets
Government policy
Because oil is foundational, price spikes quickly translate into global instability.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
Energy-driven instability leads to:
Currency volatility
Shifting capital flows
Pressure on import-dependent nations
This can significantly impact currency values and purchasing power globally.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Energy as a Catalyst for Systemic Change
Energy disruptions are exposing vulnerabilities in the global economic system.
Pillar 2: Acceleration of Structural Shifts
Countries may respond by:
Diversifying energy sources
Restructuring trade relationships
Exploring alternative financial systems
Conclusion
The current energy crisis is not just a commodity story—it is a systemic financial event.
With oil prices surging, markets volatile, and inflation rising, the global economy is entering a period of heightened stress and transformation.
In a world built on interconnected systems, energy disruption is one of the fastest ways to trigger a broader financial reset.

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 3-19-26

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight -- it is Thursday, March 19th – I had to think for a minute. March 19th and Happy first day of spring tomorrow, everybody. So that's a good sign. We're on daily sides. We got spring starting tomorrow. It's hotter than you know what in the great Southwest, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, all of that. Thank you, everybody for coming in tonight
All right, so I appreciate you, Bob, thanks so much for that segment tonight. Really good. All right, we're going to move into the Intel phase right now. Lot of interesting lot of good information that came in this afternoon, and sometimes it comes in in the morning, sometimes afternoon, even sometimes right before the big call starts. I try to get as much as I can, and then sift through it, see what is relevant and and go through it.
So let me talk first about something relative to the idea of and I'll get to jeannie's question in a minute. Jeannie, when we talk about going to the redemption center, which is the term we've used for 10 or 12 years. I guess when we realized that these - these centers, some of them are independent from bank. – some of them are connected to a bank, and some of them are in a bank with special offices if the bank is big enough, or whatever to have a separate area, which they're calling the redemption center
Some are free standing – some are connected to the bank, and additional space that might have been leased specifically for this. But the point is, when you set your appointment using the 800 number - Everybody will want to get that.
Everybody that bought currency, that had an email that is still valid will be getting an email from Wells Fargo to tell them – here’s the 800 number that you call to set your appointment, or they might have some simple instructions with that email.
So the one who's out, and I'll get into why you're going to lose out a minute if you decide, oh, I'm not going to do that email thing. I'm not going to set my appointment. I'm just going to walk willy nilly into any old bank branch and see if they can exchange me -- not a good win. Why is that not good?
Here's one of the many reasons why. One, they don't have a contract rate on the dinar. If you have dinar.
Two, they're not going to be able to set up your quantum account if you're a Zim holder. Three, if you're a Zim owner, they're not going to be able to redeem your Zim at just any old bank.
And you know, I can go on and on. Here's another set of reasons, so that you guys understand this thing.
Remember when we talked about Doge R and R and the tariff dividends? Guess what the latest version of that is ?
Doge R and R and tariff dividends. If you're a currency holder, they want to see who you are when you come in to the redemption center and they're verifying you based on you've got a passport picture and driver's license and all that stuff, and they want to, want to just make sure that KYC, that know your customer, know your client rule, kicks in.
So you'll go in for that. And the reason is because they want to, they want to physically see who is getting these they make sure they're going to the right people. So my point is, if you're a currency holder, you're going to get your R and R, your restitution, Reclamation, where the other R's are. You're going to get that to be a pretty big chunk.
Your DOGE should be a big chunk. And your tariff dividends, which are completely funding the external revenue , the IRS, is going away. The external revenue service is replacing it so external revenue, which is coming from tariff creates, tarrif dividends which you will be paid monthly.
So the first installment would come, and then monthly thereafter. Some say it might be year, three years could be longer but that is the first indication actually heard would be, we've heard 2000 we've heard 3000 we've heard 5000 I don't know. We'll just see what it is.
For those of us who are currency holders and zoom holders, especially, it's nice to have it, but it's not going to be that significant, because we have bigger and greater pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. All right. Now, my point in bringing that up is, if you are a currency holder – youre going to get those things into your quantum account, and then you can move them into whatever bank you're attached to, don't have to go to Wells me, I'm going to take items, get the amounts that are, transfer those over to a chase bank account.
Okay, that's just my – what I want to do -
All right, you can do whatever you want to do, but it's just something I'm going to do to keep those essentially separate on the currency and the zim -- , okay? Because those are separate to me. In my heart, I find they're different pools of funds. So I find that to be interesting - that they want us physically to make sure we are that person that's going to get these – I’m going to segue into this thing for right now.
You know, legislation was passed today in the house of Representatives - to make sure all illegal aliens in this country that have taken funds from their state government or federal government that are not entitled to be deported. I mean, frontissimo, they're going out here because not only have they defrauded us by coming in illegally, but they've also defied federal government states by taking funds that they have that they are not intitled to as citizens.
I mentioned the voting block of illegal they're getting removed as we speak, I'm just dont get me started on it, I guess.
All right, let's move back into the Intel.
We have indication of about four different sources that are saying approximately the same thing.
First thing is the possibility on my dates, right in my in mind calendar, I believe, Monday is 23rd and 24th is Tuesday of this month. One of those two days is supposed to be when the email notifications are triggered. To go out
My gut is, if it's between those two days, will probably happen on Tuesday.
All the other redemption center leaders, people in the know are getting emails from Treasury talking about the 24th and 25th which should be in my calendar, should be, Tuesday, Wednesday, meaning notifications in exchange to start Wednesday now one individual is suggesting Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, 24th, 25th, 26, the others are saying, 24th 25th Tuesday, Wednesday, this coming r week.
And our military, top military people are indicating that everything's going to be wrapped up this coming week that is related to the conflict in Iran, the helping of Cuba to see their freedom. And a, I'm going to call it a regime, regime or government change, those two are supposed to be wrapped up this coming week, and in that is also the fact we as currency and zim holders should be wrapped up this coming week, which is still in March, and it Is before Easter, which is on April 5.
So we have had some things that delayed us. I think we had the two banks that took their time getting connected to the to the QFs system.
Remember, we talked about JP Morgan, Chase and Bank of America not being connected until and that must have been last Wednesday, today's Thursday, Monday morning, at 4am in the morning, they were interconnected. Takes about an hour and a half for bank to connect, to the QFS
And it beats the heck out of receiving a $50 million per day fine for not being connected in terms of the order of banks, in terms of how they're ranking right now in terms of compliance and being good. I guess you could say, Wells Fargo's Number One Chase is number two. Bank of America ended up at a barely in the third and Citibank or Citicorp, bottom of the barrel, bottom of the barrel, not particularly good.
So we shouldn't be too surprised at that. I think we all kind of halfway knew that. So if you're a huge Citibank customer, you better think in terms of another bank,
As far as we know. Lets see what else -- Well, I'm not going to bring that up. I just know Europe at 93 banks that did not come to the party, and did not connect with the QFS - and they are the outside looking in. Believe I mentioned that Tuesday, and I don't know what their future is going to be. Really well, they're out of the loop right now, though,
let's see what else you know, it's funny, Sue that you saw President Trump with a group of oil executives a few days ago, but maybe he had another one today. I watched President Trump with the Prime Minister of Japan, and that was really, really kind of cool. Of course, she was speaking Japanese only, and she had an interpreter working with her on her speech. And we're really looking for a whole new level of trade with Japan. Very positive meeting. You know, Trump
is when he has a phone call, it's a really good. Call really good call positive thing. You know, same thing when he has he's in the Oval Office, except for some of them. I mean, there are few that weren't, but most of them turn out to be really good beings.
Trump is for the prosperity of all countries. He's just for America first everybody else is for too is for change in Iran Any people to rise up, if they can rise up without being executed, which is crazy, because they are, you know, but we want, we want Iran, to be free. And I think I'm going to tell you something I heard the other day, and it's about, you remember we had Ronald which was Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan told Khrushchev, he said, tear down this wall. So the wall came down between Soviet Union, East and West Germany, that wall came down for 87 or 89 whatever, and then we also have a Donald. So we had a Ronald, and now we have a And under Donald Trump, Donald, Donald Trump. And the Prophet said, this particular person had a gift for prophecy.
And under Donald Trump, the wall in Islam will come down, meaning in Iran. And I told you guys, I really believe that Iran can become a Christian nation, and is in an underground sense, already moving in that direction.
And then the third prophecy was about China, and the wall in China would be coming down. Now I'm not talking about the Great Wall of China coming down, but the wall to give freedom and a better form of government to the people.
This could be over quite a period of time, but I felt that was really, really important that I've learned that
So from this point we have 24th 25th looking prominent or looking important as important dates for us, kind of how it was put by one source. So I think that's going to be very important for us to pay attention. And as you guys know, we do get pushed on this thing occasionally, every day or Thursday, Friday or weekend. You know, we are moved along because of something else that either came up or needs to be handled. And right now, I think we need to get a handle on Iran and Cuba to the point where they are non factors and in us going.
So I wanted you to know about that. R&R Doge, and the tarrif dividends - you'll get those at the redemption centers. That's the other reason to go to the redemption center.
And it, I just ---- realize you're gonna get a QPhone , a satellite phone at the redemption center when you go through and there's quite a bit stuff that you'll get. What's that quantum card? You'll have that in the ability to move funds from your quantum account to your primary or secondary or tertiary bank account. It doesn't make any sense not to, and I know some people, no names mentioned, are being paid by certain banks to dissuade you from using redemption service. We know that
But they lose, you win.
I think that's everything --- Okay, Sue thank you for that.
Thanks everybody for listening. And Jeannie, I hope we handle your questions and everybody is understanding what it is we're looking for, which are obviously emails from the 800 numbers and the instructions, and of course, we will put them out on the website, different developmental my website, front page, landing page of it. And we'll also send out emails to the people that have registered on big called universe.com
Okay, so we'll be doing both of those as soon as we get okay. So we're good weekend. Everybody. Enjoy the warmer weather separate Michigan where they they have 19 in Central Michigan, and I think they maybe had an inch melt today. They're still in winter in Michigan, Wisconsin, some of those areas up in the Great North Central but California – “HOT” - San Diego, LA hot. Same thing with Arizona, New Mexico. Texas iss warm. Already are starting off 89 on Saturday.
So anyway, everybody this, I want to thank Sue and Bob has been great contributors and host to the big call.
All right, everybody let's pray to call out -- and everybody have a great weekend, and we'll be talking to you on Tuesday. One Way or another. Okay.

Edu Matrix: 3-20-2026
In a recent Edu Matrix video, Sandy Ingram shared a positive update on the financial stability of Iraq, a country that has been navigating through challenging regional conflicts.
Contrary to previous reports that raised concerns about the country’s financial health, the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has confirmed that Iraq’s financial foundations are strong and resilient.
According to the CBI, Iraq’s foreign currency reserves are robust, sufficient to cover around one full year of imports.
This significant financial cushion ensures that the government can continue to pay salaries and meet its expenses without interruption, providing a sense of stability and security for its citizens.
The CBI’s assurance is a welcome respite from earlier reports that suggested otherwise, and it’s a testament to the country’s effective financial management.
The CBI is also taking proactive measures to ensure that local banks have adequate cash availability, enabling individuals and businesses to access funds and conduct daily transactions smoothly.
This move is expected to maintain the continuity of international payments and trade, which is crucial for the country’s economic well-being. By doing so, the CBI is demonstrating its commitment to maintaining the stability of Iraq’s financial system.
Furthermore, the CBI has conducted thorough risk assessments and is prepared to act swiftly if economic conditions change.
This forward-thinking approach underscores the bank’s dedication to navigating the complexities of the regional economy and ensuring that Iraq’s financial system remains robust and resilient.
The message from the CBI is clear: Iraq’s financial system is stable, well-managed, and prepared to face current and future challenges. Amidst ongoing regional conflicts, this news is a significant confidence booster, not just for Iraq’s citizens but also for international investors and trading partners.
For those interested in gaining further insights into Iraq’s financial stability, I recommend watching the full Edu Matrix video featuring Sandy Ingram. The video provides a more in-depth analysis of the CBI’s measures to maintain financial stability and the implications for Iraq’s economy.
In conclusion, the Central Bank of Iraq’s recent announcements are a positive development for the country’s economy, and a testament to its ability to navigate complex regional challenges.
As the situation continues to unfold, it’s reassuring to know that Iraq’s financial foundations are strong, and the country is well-equipped to face the future with confidence.
