Reset Intelligence: Iraqi Dinar Brief - June 24, 2026: Three Weeks to Washington
6-24-2026
June 24, 2026. Iraq just put a date on it. Parliament is set to sit on July 5 to seat the last 9 cabinet ministers, and the prime minister flies to Washington in the middle of the month. Every other clock in the region now lines up inside the same 3 weeks.
Ali al-Zaidi has nothing to run for. He has ruled out the next election and ruled out building a party, and he is sprinting to hand Washington a clean, finished government before he boards the plane. The price of that meeting was named out loud months ago: progress against corruption.
Reset Intelligence: Iraqi Dinar Brief - June 24, 2026: Three Weeks to Washington
6-24-2026
June 24, 2026. Iraq just put a date on it. Parliament is set to sit on July 5 to seat the last 9 cabinet ministers, and the prime minister flies to Washington in the middle of the month. Every other clock in the region now lines up inside the same 3 weeks.
Ali al-Zaidi has nothing to run for. He has ruled out the next election and ruled out building a party, and he is sprinting to hand Washington a clean, finished government before he boards the plane. The price of that meeting was named out loud months ago: progress against corruption.
So Baghdad is digging. The case against a detained deputy oil minister has swelled past 98 billion dinars and $11 million in cash, some of it pulled 4 metres out of the ground. Two convictions landed in a single week. In the same days, Washington widened sanctions on corrupt networks abroad. One capital scrubs its own books while the other reads out the names.
Here is the number under all of it. Iraq's 2026 budget runs a $21 billion hole. More than 90% of what the state earns comes from a single barrel of oil, and now the war is over, the Strait of Hormuz is open, and the crude is flowing again. Then Washington cleared Iran to sell its own oil openly for the first time since 2018, the price slid, and the rescue got gutted on arrival.
Investment slows the bleed. It does not fix the trap. The one lever that changes the arithmetic is the worth of the dinar itself, and no nation reprices its currency without a nod from the people who run the system it is trying to rejoin. Maybe that is what the trip to Washington is really for. Watch the seats fill, and watch which door he walks toward in July.

Mnt Goat I believe we are closer than ever for the dinar to get reinstated. But first things first...certain laws in Iraq must be passed. Certainly, reviving the economy to at least 45%-50% non-oil revenues could make a huge difference for Iraq and the IMF. By now everyone should be fully aware of these events that caused delays in the currency reform process.
Jeff The next critical piece we're looking for is to see when they're going to do the cabinet because that's the most important piece of this puzzle right now as far as timing and when everything's going to happen. We've got to see the cabinet done.

Iraq Economic News And Points To Ponder Thursday Morning 6-25-26
The Dollar Is Rising Sharply Towards Its Biggest Monthly Gain.
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up The dollar has risen sharply and is on track for its biggest monthly gain in a year on Thursday, as traders bet on higher interest rates in the United States.
The dollar broke through the 1.14 level against the euro this week, reaching its strongest level in 13 months at $1.1325 overnight, before settling in Asian trading at around $1.1353.
The Dollar Is Rising Sharply Towards Its Biggest Monthly Gain.
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up The dollar has risen sharply and is on track for its biggest monthly gain in a year on Thursday, as traders bet on higher interest rates in the United States.
The dollar broke through the 1.14 level against the euro this week, reaching its strongest level in 13 months at $1.1325 overnight, before settling in Asian trading at around $1.1353.
The dollar index, which measures the performance of the US currency against a basket of six other major currencies, hit a 13-month high of 101.8 overnight and opened the Asian trading session at around 101.6.
The war with Iran and the sharp rise in oil prices have shifted market expectations for a US interest rate cut this year, and the hawkish tone adopted by the new Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh last week has led traders to expect an interest rate hike by last October. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70670
Al-Nassiri: The Rise In The Dollar Exchange Rate In The Parallel Market Is Temporary, And Maintaining The General Price Level Is Under Control.
Money and Business Economy News - Baghdad Economic and banking advisor Samir Al-Nassiri stated on Thursday that the rise in the exchange rate of the US dollar in the parallel market is temporary and is due to rumors and speculation in the markets, stressing that there is no risk of an increase in the costs of importing basic commodities.
Al-Nassiri explained to “Al-Eqtisad News” that only 5% of the dollars that the Central Bank sells daily to travelers are traded in the black market, and the remainder falls into the hands of speculators who manipulate prices.
He explained that the remaining 95% is secured by the Central Bank at the official rate for traders to import from abroad, and therefore there is no risk of an increase in the prices of imported basic commodities. The overall level of food and basic commodities is under control.
According to Al-Nassiri, "The fluctuation in the dollar exchange rate is due to speculators and economic variables because of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz and the effects of the regional war."
He stressed that this situation is temporary, and the exchange rate will gradually stabilize as conditions in the region calm down, the Strait of Hormuz is opened, and oil exports resume in the planned export quantities.

Gold Plunges To A 7-Month Low, Pressured By The Dollar
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up Gold prices continued their decline on Thursday, hitting their lowest level in more than seven months, affected by the strength of the dollar.
By 09:45 Moscow time, gold futures for August had fallen 0.29% to $3,997 an ounce.
Meanwhile, spot contracts for the yellow metal fell by 0.52% to $3,978.59 an ounce, after hitting their lowest level since November 2025 on Wednesday.
The price of gold fell below the key $4,000 per ounce level yesterday under pressure from a rising dollar and expectations that the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) will raise interest rates.
According to the CME FedWatch tool, traders expect three US interest rate hikes this year, and see a roughly 67 percent chance of a hike in September.
The dollar rose for the third consecutive day yesterday to its highest level in 13 months, increasing the cost of gold for buyers holding other currencies.
Investors are awaiting the release of US personal consumption expenditures data, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge, due later today, for further clues about monetary policy. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70676
Iraq Activates The "Path Of Civilizations" Initiative To Market Internet Capacity And Receives Its First Payment In Dollars.

The minister said in a statement received by “Al-Eqtisad News”: “Cross-border (transit) internet capacities have been marketed with the Qatari company GBI, through the “Road of Civilizations” project for the land route extending from Al-Faw to Rabia.”
He added: “An agreement was reached according to the long-term right of use (IRU) system to lease fibers from the optical fiber network, and for the first time in the history of Iraq this model is adopted,” adding: “The strategic route: The (Faw-Rabia) route connects data traffic coming from Asia and the Arabian Gulf towards Europe overland via Turkey, which reduces the response time (latency) compared to traditional maritime routes.”
He explained that "this contract comes as a practical step to activate Iraq's geographical position as an international digital corridor, as requests from the Gulf countries have been coming in for about a week, and we have received the first financial payment in hard currency." https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70669

Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
DOJ Defends CLARITY Act, Rejects Law Enforcement Criticism as Senate Debate Intensifies
The U.S. Department of Justice is defending the CLARITY Act after several major law enforcement organizations warned the legislation could weaken oversight of digital assets and create opportunities for criminal activity.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
DOJ Defends CLARITY Act, Rejects Law Enforcement Criticism as Senate Debate Intensifies
The U.S. Department of Justice is defending the CLARITY Act after several major law enforcement organizations warned the legislation could weaken oversight of digital assets and create opportunities for criminal activity.
Overview
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has publicly defended the CLARITY Act, calling recent criticism from law enforcement organizations "factually inaccurate."
Four national law enforcement associations had urged the White House to reconsider portions of the legislation, arguing that key provisions could reduce regulatory oversight and complicate financial crime investigations.
The DOJ maintains that the bill preserves existing criminal enforcement powers while providing long-awaited regulatory clarity for the digital asset industry.
Key Developments
1. DOJ Rejects Opposition Letter
On June 24, a DOJ spokesperson responded to a joint letter submitted by several national law enforcement organizations opposing portions of the CLARITY Act.
According to the Department of Justice, the letter "contains factual inaccuracies and mischaracterizes Administration policy," emphasizing that the legislation would not hinder criminal investigations involving digital assets.
2. Law Enforcement Groups Voice Concerns
The opposition letter was signed by leaders of the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA), National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys (NAAUSA), International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the National Sheriffs' Association.
Together representing more than 70,000 law enforcement professionals, the organizations warned that certain provisions—particularly Section 604 of the CLARITY Act—could create regulatory gaps that sophisticated criminal organizations might exploit.
3. Debate Centers on Developer Protections
At the heart of the dispute is the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA) language incorporated into the CLARITY Act.
Law enforcement officials argue that broad exemptions for some blockchain developers and decentralized technology participants could reduce accountability and complicate enforcement efforts involving money laundering, ransomware, terrorism financing, fraud, and other financial crimes.
DOJ officials disagree, stating that the legislation does not exempt criminal conduct or prevent investigators from pursuing illegal activity involving digital assets.
4. DOJ Says Enforcement Authority Remains Intact
The Justice Department stressed that law enforcement access to relevant information would remain unchanged under the proposed legislation.
According to the DOJ, investigators would retain full authority to pursue cases involving drug trafficking, human smuggling, terrorism financing, fraud, and other digital asset-related crimes, while the legislation simply clarifies which entities fall under existing regulatory frameworks.
5. Senate Negotiations Continue
The latest exchange highlights the ongoing debate as lawmakers continue refining the CLARITY Act before a potential Senate vote.
Supporters argue the legislation will provide the legal certainty needed to encourage innovation and institutional investment, while critics continue seeking additional safeguards to strengthen anti-money laundering and consumer protection provisions.
Why It Matters
The CLARITY Act remains one of the most consequential digital asset bills currently under consideration in Congress. Its outcome could shape how cryptocurrencies, blockchain developers, exchanges, and decentralized finance platforms are regulated in the United States for years to come, potentially influencing global regulatory standards as well.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For investors watching the evolution of the global financial system, clear digital asset regulation represents another step toward integrating blockchain technology into mainstream finance. Regulatory certainty could accelerate institutional adoption, strengthen digital payment infrastructure, and support broader modernization of cross-border financial markets.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Digital Finance
The continuing debate over the CLARITY Act illustrates how governments are building the regulatory foundation for the next generation of digital financial infrastructure.
Pillar 2: Financial Governance
Balancing innovation with transparency, national security, and financial crime prevention remains central as policymakers reshape the future of global financial markets.
This is not just about cryptocurrency—it reflects the broader effort to modernize financial regulation while building the legal framework for tomorrow's digital economy.

VND vs. IQD, Why Both Countries Avoided Currency Adjustments
VND vs. IQD, Why Both Countries Avoided Currency Adjustments
Edu Matrix:6-24-2026
The economic trajectories of nations emerging from significant conflict offer fascinating insights into global finance and development.
A recent Edu Matrix video hosted by Sandy Ingram brilliantly illustrates this through a compelling comparison of the Vietnamese dong (VND) and the Iraqi dinar (IQD).
VND vs. IQD, Why Both Countries Avoided Currency Adjustments
Edu Matrix:6-24-2026
The economic trajectories of nations emerging from significant conflict offer fascinating insights into global finance and development.
A recent Edu Matrix video hosted by Sandy Ingram brilliantly illustrates this through a compelling comparison of the Vietnamese dong (VND) and the Iraqi dinar (IQD).
While both Vietnam and Iraq endured profound conflicts with the United States and their governments maintain tight currency controls, their post-war economic and monetary journeys have unfolded in remarkably different ways, shaping their engagement with the global economy.
Vietnam, under its communist regime, has strategically embraced an export-driven manufacturing economy complemented by substantial foreign investment.
The nation has deliberately managed the Vietnamese dong to remain relatively stable but weak, a key tactic to bolster its export competitiveness on the world stage.
This forward-thinking approach has fueled impressive economic growth, transforming Vietnam into a significant manufacturing hub. Furthermore, the country’s booming tourism industry now contributes a remarkable 8-9% to its Gross Domestic Product, attracting global visitors and expatriates alike, and further showcasing its successful integration into global markets.
This economic strategy, rooted in reforms initiated around 1986, vividly demonstrates a nation leveraging strategic currency management for long-term prosperity.
In stark contrast, Iraq’s economic landscape remains heavily reliant on its oil revenues. The Iraqi central bank continues to exert strict control over the dinar, a necessity driven by ongoing banking reforms, the imperative for international integration, and a persistent, challenging security environment.
While the Iraqi dinar, like the Vietnamese dong, experiences deliberate suppression by its government, Iraq’s financial environment appears more constrained and fragile. The incomplete nature of its banking reforms and the ongoing security concerns significantly limit the dinar’s international value and broader utility, presenting a more complex picture for foreign investment and global economic interaction.
Sandy Ingram’s analysis in the Edu Matrix video underscores a crucial distinction: despite sharing similar experiences of conflict and governmental currency control, Vietnam’s willingness to engage openly with global markets, attract tourists, and welcome foreign investors has fostered a more robust and open economy. Its currency is managed strategically to promote sustained economic growth and international collaboration.
Conversely, Iraq’s journey, while aiming for stability, faces more entrenched obstacles that temper its potential for dynamic global engagement. The video serves as a powerful testament to how strategic economic choices and openness can dramatically reshape a nation’s post-conflict destiny, inviting invaluable lessons for observers of international monetary policy and economic development.

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It is Tuesday, June 23rd and you're listening to the big call, thanks everybody for tuning in. I hope you golf fans enjoyed the US Open Golf Championship, and I was happy with that, and the result. And we're ready to start a new week for us. This could be a very special week, just saying
Let's get into the intel portion. Thank you, Bob, for that segment. I appreciate that. Let's get into some intel, and I do have some things I want to bring out to everybody. All right, here we are on the 23rd of June, let's go back and talk about what happened on 20th of June, which was Saturday. Saturday, the 20th was the final time that Swift system of wiring money ended on Saturday the 20th.
On Sunday, the 21st two days ago, the entire world, all 209 countries in the world were all connected or interconnected to the quantum financial system, so we've been on that brand new system globally worldwide since Sunday, two days ago.
All right, what else happened on Sunday was the release of all 2314 names in the Epstein file that has been released and certain people, like the Prime Minister of the UK, have resigned as a result of it. I believe that was in the news yesterday.
So, Sunday, that took place, and let me put it this way, if your name's on the list, chances are you're either arrested or resigning, or whatever your particular status is. It's not a good list to be on. So that took place finally. That aspect of transparency came out all right.
Let's go further. Where are we right now?
We believe we are in the week for us to begin redemption centers have seen only the Venezuelan Bolivar on the screen, solid today.
It was flashing yesterday, but solid today, B o l I v a r , and that's Venezuelans currency, that is one of the ones that is going up in value. If you have it, good, you're in good shape
Now other currencies - They have not solidified or shown up on redemption center screens yet, but I believe that's about to change, and it could change pretty quickly here.
The other things that we're getting are telling us that this week is looking excellent. We had heard last week a Tuesday, Wednesday, were prime for us to receive notifications.
We've also heard that, and I believe we've had it verified by at least two other sources that Zim holders, we think that's a number of approximately 1.2 million, could be a little more or a little less - My gut is that it's more than 1.2 million. They'll be notified first.
Does that mean that we might have two separate notifications by emails, one to Zim holders that they know are holders of Zim. How do they know that? They know that from the dealers are the places that were selling Zim because emails that came from those transactions they have, but they don't know absolutely is how many people were gifted Zim, and the answer is a lot that they don't have emails for.
Okay, but point is, would there be another mailing after the initial mailing to Zim holders, and you know, as well as I do, the Zim holds the greatest value of all of these currencies, and that's why it's considered a bearer bond, because payable to the bearer of right on the notes. So those particular Zim notes they want to have in
Why are they giving priority to Zim holders with dire need for the med beds, because then I'm sure that people that have Zim live long enough to see their projects to fruition, so our notifications could be zim holders and could be other people too, if there are two notifications, you could have one as early as tomorrow, or Zim holders, I would take that primarily obviously, have other currencies, you take that in with your zim, doesn't mean all you can redeem, obviously you're going to exchange your other currencies as you're redeeming your zim.
Okay, so there is that possibility we heard that Tuesday, Wednesday, and I wrote off today. I think I told you guys that on Thursday – I did not see it happening today
Tomorrow is looking good. What about the old Wednesday, Thursday for exchanges?
I think it's still in play as early as Wednesday, provided of course, so we get notified sometime Wednesday which is tomorrow. Could we get notified in the morning, for example, set our appointments up one - three hours later, or 123, o'clock in the afternoon? Quite possibly,
Could we get notified tomorrow and not set appointments up. It would start until Thursday? Very Likely
I'm going to say Wednesday, Thursday are definitely in play. What happens if we don't get notified tomorrow? Do we ride out the week? I don’t Think so.
I think we would get them Thursday and start Thursday. So I'm looking at tomorrow being very possible. In fact, some of our sources put it as Tuesday is looking good, Wednesday is looking great. Okay, I'll take that. I'll take that all day long.
Now, what else is happening?
I know a lot of people are keying. Fourth of July, look at Bob, Fourth of July sale taking place now.
It's 11 days away.
So, what about the EBS kicking in as early as tomorrow, possibly. Yes. However, this is my caveat.
We have heard information that makes it look very likely that everything that we're looking for in the NESARA, in terms in our new currency, which is the USN, and the physical money at the USTN has treasury notes that, in addition to debt forgiveness and all of the rest of NESARA - National Economic Security and Recovery Act, N E S A R A, everything that's included in that should be announced, at least in general, if not specifics, announced on the fourth of July, which the fourth, if I remember right, is Saturday, a week from this Saturday.
So, or do I have that wrong? Hold on a minute, that's right. Yep, so what else do we know about that?
What we have heard also is the public will be notified of what is in NESARA and I think, including the public, will start exchanges, the public, not us, not tier 4B the internet group, but the public would start exchanges at banks on starting. I'm going to say it would be starting the sixth of July, because, because if you think about it, Friday the third is the called legal holiday for the fourth of July.
I don't quite understand that federal holiday, and then the fourth is on Saturday, and the fifth is Sunday, so that means Monday would probably be the first day that some of these banks would be exchanging to the public now that if the public says I heard about an 800 number that I can call to go to a redemption center, yeah, that would be better,
Especially if you have Dinar. dinar, and you want to get the contract rate on the dinar, which is extremely high - almost unfathomable, but it was something President set up for us in his first term.
There is so much that should be changing for us around before the 4th for our exchanges.
I'm saying we should be going this week, you guys, this week, like Wednesday, Thursday, ish this week and everything else that takes place for us I don't know if we're going to get some EBS or not from tomorrow through the Fourth of July, like I had heard, and maybe they would be announcements. I thought it would be the NESARA announcements. I don't know what they'll be, but I know that we have a peace deal that's been held only up between Iran.
It's been a cease fire in place between Israel and Lebanon to try to remove Hezbollah, and we also know that this is a 60 day period to take this memorandum of understanding to the point where we can have a complete and total agreed agreement or treaty of peace within that 60 day period, two months - so that's great news. Looking forward to that.
The Strait of Hormuz is open, and you know what else is exciting about this?
That strait needed to be open, or because it, because the monitoring of it financially is connected through the quantum financial system traffic of that oil moving through the strait to the various places has to be monitored, and that's what the Starlink system, in conjunction with the Quantum Financial System is doing as of now, or say as of Sunday, two days ago, all financial transactions are being monitored by the Quantum Financial System,
No more secret accounts, no more offshore accounts, there's nothing that can't be seen So don’t even think about it. It's not, it's not anything that that we're involved in. If you're going to do the right thing with more money from your quantum account into your bank account with Wells or a couple of other banks, whatever you decide to do to diversify your, holdings ,l ets call it - you know, you can do it, but then you better be careful where you try to send money.
Don't send it to any of these nafarious organizations that you don't know who they are to get clawed back, because your accounts could get frozen if you do something bad, if you're good, and you do something that is good, and moving your money around, you're going to be fine. You're going to be just fine.
And I think it's interesting that that the strait is open, the traffic through the strait is moving.
Are we monitoring it? I would think so. Yes.
And notice that President Trump is not saying that if something happens with the strait` and oil does not move through, or if the bombs don't quit dropping on Lebanon from Israel, which that's important between Trump and Netanyahu, you know, then there would be other action taken, but it would not be what to we can pray for the people to have a free life, we want them to be to have a new form of government they can feel comfortable with and be able to have certain level of freedom that they have never had since before the Shah left 47 to 48 years ago,
So we are really moving into this new era of sovereignty for us, you realize they call zim holders banks do wealth, does well sort of calls us sovereigns, they're already they called us sovereigns, and I think that's an interesting verb to call us, but we are, we are going to see our sovereignty, you know, we know that I mentioned this on Thursday that we are no longer a part of British admiralty law, and we'll be ushering in under NESARA, ushering in common law, no longer under British Admiralty rule.
When you hear the term, oh, this attorney or that attorney passed the bar, that's what it is. It's for British admiralty rule.
So I really want everybody to understand just how close we are – Now do I have absolute confirmation of it being tomorrow or even Thursday, no, but we have a lot of people that are in agreement that things are supposed to pop for us starting tomorrow.
One particular transmission came in that said we have been, let me think, how it was said, we have been controlled on everything we see and do over the last 70 years. I'm going to say ninety years, maybe even113 years.
We've been controlled. Ant the the post went on to say, and all of that ends on the 24th of June. That's tomorrow the 24th So, what happens on the 24th that considers that the end of this control?
Yes, maybe we'll find out.
Some of us thinks it means the start of us becoming notified for these exchanges, and, like I said, we'll see whether Zim holders do get notified first or separately, or whether they just set appointments for us to go in first. I just thought of that, that there's a separate mailing emailing, but it could, they prefer to take the Zim holders in first for the redemption of the zim notes.
We'll see what they do anyway. I'd start looking at emails, see if you get something tomorrow or Thursday, and let's see how they plan this.
You know, we have --- oh by the way - no appointments have been made yet, for exchanges.
I know some people are trying to jump the gun and get in there before, but there have been no appointments.
We have 28,000 redemption centers in the United States.
Canada's got a bunch too, but nowhere near these numbers.
Canada is probably up around 1200 and everything, most populations within 100 miles of our US border, anyway, unless you live in Moose Jaw, Canada.
So I think that this is going to be a very good week for us, and hopefully we have a wonderful celebratory 250th year of freedom, and we get all these things that are supposed to be announced as part of NESARA announced on the fourth of July, it's going to be really good.
Yeah, I guess I'm really thinking there’s not much else that I think of right now that I can bring, but I think I've said what I needed to say tonight, and we probably ought to move on.
So I've been excited all day, things are looking good for us, and I'm looking forward to, hey, you know what, I'm taking some time.
Yeah, you can call it chill time, that's all right. You need time to assimilate this to absorb what is happening and what has happened in your life over the last 15 or 20 years, for me, 21 years of being invested in this, and you know what it's going to be, it's going to be really great, but it doesn't mean while you're chilling out you can't be planning and thinking and going, okay, what do you think we should do next? What do we want to do?
Everybody have a wonderful night tonight. Tomorrow brings what it is we're hoping for, which is these email notifications in the mean everybody, which is where we are in the meantime. Let's pray to call out, and we look forward to a great week.
Everybody have a great night, and we will have a call Thursday night, and hopefully we'll be celebrating. All right, God bless you guys. guys

Parliamentary Finance Committee Denies Any Intention To Raise The Exchange Rate
Information/Baghdad... Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, MP Mudhar al-Karawi, confirmed on Wednesday that there is no current intention to raise the dollar exchange rate.
Al-Karawi told Al-Maalouma, “Until this moment, there are no confirmed indications from the government to proceed with raising the dollar exchange rate.” He pointed out that "the government and its financial arms are committed to stabilizing the exchange rate in institutions to maintain the stability of the financial situation and prevent any price increases that would affect the markets."
Parliamentary Finance Committee Denies Any Intention To Raise The Exchange Rate
Information/Baghdad... Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, MP Mudhar al-Karawi, confirmed on Wednesday that there is no current intention to raise the dollar exchange rate.
Al-Karawi told Al-Maalouma, “Until this moment, there are no confirmed indications from the government to proceed with raising the dollar exchange rate.” He pointed out that "the government and its financial arms are committed to stabilizing the exchange rate in institutions to maintain the stability of the financial situation and prevent any price increases that would affect the markets."
He added that "any increase in the exchange rate will be directly reflected in prices, especially food items, which would place an additional burden on the poor and the less fortunate." He explained that "any potential increase in the dollar exchange rate would have clear economic repercussions."
Al-Karawi clarified that "although there are no current indications in this direction, this option may be considered at some point." He stressed "the necessity of providing mechanisms and guarantees to protect the situation of the poor and the less fortunate and prevent price increases for basic commodities in the event of any future decision."
Oil Plunges To Four-Month Low On Hormuz Progress
2026-06-24 Shafaq News Oil prices fell more than 1% on Wednesday, extending this week's losses and trading near four-month lows, on signs that more oil tankers stranded in the Gulf are set to move out of the Strait of Hormuz.
Brent crude futures fell 78 cents, or 1.0%, at $76.30 a barrel as of 0350 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate slipped 78 cents, or 1.1%, to $72.43 a barrel.
Both benchmarks settled down around 1% on Tuesday, touching their lowest levels since early March.
"Positive signals from the Persian Gulf are fuelling optimism about oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Vessel crossings increased in recent days, although they remain well below pre-war levels," ING commodity strategists said in a note on Wednesday.
Prices have also come under pressure this week after Washington granted Tehran a 60-day sanctions waiver following initial peace talks, allowing it to sell oil, and as hostilities in Lebanon eased.
"Crude oil prices were weighed down by hopes of easing U.S.-Iran tensions and a recovery in oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz," said Tomomichi Akuta, senior economist at Mitsubishi UFJ Research and Consulting.
"Further progress in nuclear negotiations could push prices back to pre-war levels," he added.
On Tuesday, Oman and Iran agreed to press on with discussions about the future administration of navigation in the Strait. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said any Iranian attempt to levy transit fees would violate international law.
Still, uncertainty remains over the durability of the accord. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Iran had agreed to nuclear inspections into "infinity," while Tehran said it had made no such concession in negotiations.
Investors are also watching how quickly Middle Eastern producers can restore exports and whether more ships will enter the region.
An Iranian military source told Fars news agency that a limited number of vessels are being allowed to pass through the strait each day under coordination with Iran's Revolutionary Guards Navy.
Ship-tracking data showed that three stranded supertankers passed through the strait on Tuesday. The U.N. shipping agency said an evacuation plan to enable hundreds of ships with 11,000 seafarers stranded in the Gulf to sail through the strait is underway after the U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal.
Meanwhile, crude stocks fell by 765,000 barrels in the week ended June 19, market sources said, citing data from the American Petroleum Institute released on Tuesday. Nine analysts polled by Reuters estimated, on average, that crude inventories fell by about 4.5 million barrels in the last week.

Basrah Crudes Drop Alongside Global Decline
2026-06-24 Shafaq News- Basrah Iraq’s Basrah crude plunged more than 4% on Wednesday as major global benchmarks moved lower.
Basrah Heavy crude dropped to $45.78 per barrel, losing 4.09%, while Basrah Medium crude slipped to $47.88 per barrel, down 3.91%.
Brent crude edged down to $76.30 per barrel, shedding 78 cents, or 1%. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude retreated to $72.43 per barrel, down 78 cents, or 1.1%.
Most crude grades across Arab and global benchmarks recorded losses, with Saudi Arabia’s Arab Light crude shedding 2.52% to $78.69 per barrel, while the UAE’s Das crude declined 2.90% to $69.31 and Qatar Marine crude decreased 2.91% to $69.01. OPEC’s basket also fell 1.89% to $81.59 per barrel. Dubai crude eased 1.15% to $80.35.

Iraq Sets Two-Week Timeline For Kirkuk-Ceyhan Trial Pumping
2026-06-24 Shafaq News- Kirkuk Trial pumping through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan oil route will begin within two weeks after the state-run North Oil Company finalized all engineering and technical work needed to restart the Iraq-Turkiye pipeline, a senior company source told Shafaq News on Wednesday, paving the way for the resumption of stable exports.
The company has also restored the strategic Kirkuk-Baiji-Haditha-Basra route, allowing crude from southern fields to reach gathering stations in Kirkuk before being pumped to the Turkish port of Ceyhan. Operating the two lines together would provide greater flexibility in managing crude flows, strengthen Iraq's northern export capacity, and improve the efficiency of the country's oil transport network, the source added.
Earlier this month, SOMO chief Ali Nizar told Reuters that Iraq had formally requested a one-year extension of the agreement governing the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline, which is due to expire on July 27, to allow more time for negotiations on a new export arrangement. Reuters, citing a senior Turkish official, reported that Ankara opposes extending the current deal under existing conditions.
Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently discussed exports through the Kirkuk-Ceyhan pipeline and ways to boost Iraq's oil flows to European markets through existing infrastructure.

Hantoush Reveals The Priorities Of The New Central Bank Governor: Implementing "Oliver Wyman" Standards Is Of Utmost Importance
Economy News – Baghdad Economic expert Mustafa Hantoush revealed on Monday the priorities of the new Central Bank Governor, Nizar Nasser, stressing that the standards of the Oliver Wyman Foundation are imposing a new banking reality in Iraq.
Hantoush explained to "Al-Eqtisad News" that the appointment of Nizar Nasser to this position represents a fundamental step for Iraqi monetary policy, noting that the next phase will focus on two main sectors: achieving monetary stability and restructuring the banking system.
Hantoush explained that "the Iraqi banking system, especially the private sector, has suffered from severe restrictions in the past that led to the freezing of about $10 billion, which poses a real risk to any market."
He added that the central bank has begun a series of important reforms in cooperation with the Oliver Wyman Foundation, which have reached final meetings with the US Treasury with the aim of freeing the banking system from dollar restrictions, something the market has been waiting for for months.
The economist pointed out that "restoring the banking system to operate on sound foundations represents the beginning of a sound monetary policy, as Oliver Wyman's standards impose a new reality in which banks are not only required to make profits, but are also obliged to attract deposits, provide loans, and finance projects."
Hantoush stressed that "pushing towards an integrated banking system in terms of operations and the market value of shares is a priority, as the continuous increase in capital for banks has become undesirable because it leads to a collapse in the share price on the stock exchange, stressing that these files will be at the forefront of the new governor's concerns."

Al-Aboudi: Al-Zidi Deals With Combating Corruption Far Removed From Any Political Or Electoral Calculations And Works To Save The Country
latest news Wednesday, June 24, 2026 Baghdad - One News - 6/24/2026 Government spokesman Haider al-Aboudi confirmed that Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is dealing with the anti-corruption file without any political or electoral considerations, noting that his personality and previous experience have made him more capable of making decisions related to running the state and confronting corruption.
Al-Aboudi said that Al-Zidi is not seeking a second term, will not run in the next elections, and does not have a project to establish a political party, which keeps him away from the pressures and obligations associated with political competition.
He added that the absence of these considerations gives the Prime Minister more room to deal with state files, citizens’ affairs and combating corruption from the perspective of the public interest, away from any constraints or prior calculations.
Al-Aboudi pointed out that Al-Zaydi is focused on saving what can be saved and addressing the challenges facing the state, stressing that corruption is one of the most dangerous issues that threaten state institutions and requires taking decisive measures to confront it.https://1news-iq.net/العبودي-الزيدي-يتعامل-مع-مكافحة-الفسا/

Parliamentary Integrity: Important Files Whose Details Will Be Revealed To The Public
Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The Parliamentary Integrity Committee revealed that there are many important files that are being prepared to be opened and their details revealed to the public, especially those related to the waste of public money and the exploitation of official influence.
Parliamentary Integrity: Important Files Whose Details Will Be Revealed To The Public
Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The Parliamentary Integrity Committee revealed that there are many important files that are being prepared to be opened and their details revealed to the public, especially those related to the waste of public money and the exploitation of official influence.
Shahid said, according to the official newspaper and followed by “Al-Eqtisad News”, that “corruption is no longer just individual cases or limited violations, but has turned into an intertwined system that has directly affected government performance and weakened citizens’ trust in state institutions.”
He added that “taking serious measures to curb the influence of corrupt individuals within state institutions would pave the way for the more efficient implementation of government and service programs, as well as contribute to achieving social justice and equal opportunities among citizens.”
The MP stressed that "the current stage requires a firm political will and practical measures that go beyond slogans and promises," stressing that "there are many important files that are being prepared to be opened and their details revealed to the public, especially those related to the waste of public money and the exploitation of official influence."
He pointed out that "the House of Representatives stands in support of every reform step taken by the government and the Integrity Commission in this direction," stressing that "the oversight role of the Council will be strongly present during the next stage by following up on all integrity files and the results of investigations and judicial procedures related to them."

Trade: Lower Shipping Costs Will Be Reflected In Commodity Prices
Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad The Ministry of Commerce announced on Wednesday an integrated plan to enhance strategic reserves and combat monopolies, while noting that the decrease in shipping costs will be reflected in commodity prices during the coming period.
Ministry spokesman Mohammed Hanoun said that "the return of maritime traffic to normal through the Strait of Hormuz, and the arrival of ships loaded with food and basic goods, represents an important factor in strengthening the stability of local markets, especially since any disruption in maritime transport routes is directly reflected in shipping and insurance costs and the prices of imported goods."
Hannon added that "the Ministry of Trade is continuously monitoring market movements and price indicators for food and basic commodities, and will assess the impact of reduced transportation and shipping costs after the resumption of normal shipping operations, ensuring that this is reflected in the prices traded in local markets."
He explained that "the improved flow of supplies and the increased volume of goods offered lead to a reduction in the pressures that some goods experienced during the past period."
He stressed that “the ministry has a work plan based on several axes, most notably strengthening the strategic stock of basic materials, monitoring the smooth entry of goods through various ports, as well as coordinating with the competent regulatory authorities to monitor any cases of monopoly or exploitation that may lead to keeping prices at high levels despite the disappearance of the reasons that led to their rise.”
He pointed out that "the ministry is working to provide accurate indicators of market activity and the available quantities of food products, which contributes to achieving a balance between supply and demand and preventing any shortages that may affect price stability."
He added that "the continued flow of goods at normal rates will give the market greater flexibility and enhance competition between importers and traders, which will have a positive impact on the consumer."
He pointed out that "the ministry's goal is to maintain food security and ensure the availability of basic commodities for citizens at fair prices," stressing "the continuation of monitoring procedures and field follow-up during the next phase to ensure that the market and the consumer benefit from any decrease in import, transportation and shipping costs."

Japan Plans To Improve The Management Of Reserves Allocated To Support The Yen
Money and Business Economy News - Follow-up A draft report on Japan's growth strategy, seen by Reuters on Wednesday, shows the government plans to explore ways to improve the management of its $1.3 trillion foreign exchange reserves, which are considered a "reserve" for future intervention in the yen market.
The plans reflect the Japanese government's desire to boost reserve returns and help refinance its dwindling finances, as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi pledges proactive spending to support the world's fourth-largest economy.
The draft strategy, a key pillar of Takaichi's policy agenda, states: "The government will examine the benefits of improving the management of assets owned by the public sector, including the special account of the foreign exchange fund, and making more effective use of them, taking into account their intended purposes."
Financial markets: Currency yen near 40-year low despite Japanese interest rate hike
Tokyo resumed intensive intervention in late April when the currency fell to over 160 yen to the dollar, through a $73 billion yen purchase, resulting in a record 5.6% drop in reserves in May, highlighting the limits of continued and large-scale intervention.
The draft strategy does not specify particular changes to the allocation of reserve assets, which have accumulated during previous interventions to buy dollars and are believed to be largely invested in U.S. Treasury bonds.
The bulk of the surplus reserves, including proceeds from US Treasury bonds, is transferred to the general account as a source of funding for the state budget.
Takaichi had once stated that foreign reserves were the main beneficiary of the yen's weakness and that they were "performing very well," a remark some government officials interpreted as a sign that she hoped to use the surplus to fund a controversial plan to suspend the consumption tax on food items.
However, government officials said that making a radical change to the reserve portfolio would be unrealistic, given that the reserves are held primarily as a readily available source of funds for intervention in the currency market.
An informed source, who declined to be identified due to the confidentiality of the report, said, "It will be difficult to pursue returns in a way that conflicts with the purpose of the reserves." https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70646
Iraq Reduces Its Imports Of Fish And Seafood To About $25 Million
Money and Business Economy News – Baghdad Data from the International Trade Centre showed that Iraq reduced its imports of fish, crustaceans, molluscs and other aquatic invertebrates during 2025 to $24.978 million, compared to $68.413 million in 2024, and $77.362 million in 2023.
According to the data, Iraq was among the world's importers of these products, but the value of imports recorded a sharp decline last year, after the significant increase it witnessed in previous years.
She noted that frozen fish topped the list of imported products within this category with a value of $11.226 million in 2025, compared to $51.777 million in 2024, followed by fresh or chilled fish with a value of $10.022 million, then crustaceans with a value of $1.512 million, and fish fillets and meat with a value of $1.375 million.
Imports of live fish amounted to $442,000, dried, salted and smoked fish to $302,000, while imports of molluscs amounted to $94,000, and other aquatic invertebrates to $3,000.
According to data from the International Trade Centre, Iraq’s imports of these products amounted to $29.422 million in 2021, rising to $48.948 million in 2022, then to $77.362 million in 2023, before declining to $68.413 million in 2024, and continuing to decrease to $24.978 million during 2025. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70653
Iraq: Domestic Debt Rises To 95.7 Trillion Dinars, While External Debt Declines
banks Economy News – Baghdad Data from the Central Bank, released on Wednesday, showed that domestic public debt rose to 95.7 trillion dinars by the end of April 2026, while external debt saw a decline on an annual basis.
According to the bank's data, domestic public debt rose to 95.679 trillion dinars by the end of April of this year, compared to 90.515 trillion dinars recorded at the end of 2025, an increase of 5.164 trillion dinars, and about 12.629 trillion dinars compared to 2024, when it reached 83.050 trillion dinars.
According to the data, this increase was driven by the increase in the total liabilities of the Ministry of Finance to the Central Bank of Iraq to 55.699 trillion dinars as of April 2026, compared to 45.699 trillion dinars in 2025.
In contrast, loans decreased to 20.270 trillion dinars, after having been 22.899 trillion dinars, and the value of bonds decreased to 10.868 trillion dinars, compared to 13.075 trillion dinars, while treasury bills remained stable at 8.842 trillion dinars.
Iraq’s external debt reached $54.101 billion in 2025, down from $54.601 billion in 2024 and $56.207 billion in 2023, a total decrease of $2.106 billion over two years, according to data from the Central Bank of Iraq.
The data indicates that domestic debt continued to rise during the first four months of 2026, while external debt continued its downward trend compared to previous years. https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70652

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
CLARITY Act Approval Odds Drop as White House Faces Law Enforcement Pushback
Major U.S. law enforcement organizations are urging changes to the CLARITY Act, warning that several provisions could weaken anti-money laundering enforcement and create regulatory gaps within the digital asset industry.
Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
CLARITY Act Approval Odds Drop as White House Faces Law Enforcement Pushback
Major U.S. law enforcement organizations are urging changes to the CLARITY Act, warning that several provisions could weaken anti-money laundering enforcement and create regulatory gaps within the digital asset industry.
Overview
The probability of the CLARITY Act advancing has declined, with prediction markets dropping approval odds to 41% following new opposition from national law enforcement organizations.
More than 70,000 law enforcement professionals are represented in a letter sent to the White House expressing concerns over key provisions in the legislation.
The primary concern centers on the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA), with critics arguing that certain exemptions could make it more difficult to investigate and prosecute financial crimes involving digital assets.
Key Developments
1. White House Receives Joint Law Enforcement Letter
A coalition of leading law enforcement organizations—including the National District Attorneys Association (NDAA), National Association of Assistant U.S. Attorneys (NAAUSA), International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), and the National Sheriffs' Association—submitted a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and White House crypto advisor Patrick Witt.
While supporting the creation of a clear regulatory framework for digital assets, the organizations cautioned that several provisions of the CLARITY Act could unintentionally weaken law enforcement's ability to combat financial crime.
2. BRCA Developer Protections Under Scrutiny
The coalition specifically highlighted Section 604, which incorporates elements of the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act (BRCA).
The groups warned that broad exemptions for certain blockchain participants could create regulatory blind spots, allowing bad actors to exploit gaps in oversight while shielding activities that facilitate the movement of digital assets.
3. Concerns Over AML and Terrorist Financing
The letter argues that portions of the legislation could weaken existing Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter-Terrorism Financing (CFT) safeguards.
Law enforcement officials expressed concern that certain decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, mixers, tumblers, and other market participants could avoid registration, Know Your Customer (KYC), and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) requirements if the current language remains unchanged.
4. Prediction Markets React
Following publication of the letter, Polymarket's estimated odds of CLARITY Act approval reportedly fell from approximately 55% to 41%, reflecting growing uncertainty over the bill's path through Congress.
The decline illustrates how political developments continue influencing expectations surrounding major cryptocurrency legislation.
Why It Matters
The CLARITY Act is widely viewed as one of the most significant pieces of U.S. digital asset legislation under consideration. While lawmakers seek regulatory certainty that could encourage innovation and institutional investment, policymakers must also balance those goals with maintaining effective safeguards against financial crime.
Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders
For those following broader monetary and financial system developments, digital asset regulation represents another important step in the modernization of global financial infrastructure. Clear regulatory frameworks could accelerate institutional adoption of blockchain technology while shaping how future cross-border payment systems interact with both traditional currencies and digital assets.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar 1: Digital Finance
The CLARITY Act reflects ongoing efforts to establish the legal framework needed for broader institutional participation in digital assets and blockchain-based financial markets.
Pillar 2: Financial Oversight
The debate highlights the growing challenge of balancing technological innovation with regulatory transparency, anti-money laundering enforcement, and national security concerns as the global financial system evolves.
This is not just about cryptocurrency—it reflects the continuing effort to build a modern financial system that balances innovation, market growth, and regulatory accountability for the digital economy.
