Tishwash:  The US Treasury is tracking $300 billion outside the Iraqi banking system.

Informed sources revealed to Al-Mustaqilla information described as serious, indicating that the US Treasury informed the government of Ali al-Zaidi of the existence of sums of money estimated at about $300,000,000,000 believed to have left the official banking system.

According to the source, these funds are suspected to still be outside banking channels, specifically with certain political figures, away from direct financial oversight.

The source also pointed to what he described as “precise sequences of dollar movement allocated to Iraq,” where the path of funds is tracked and transfer and distribution operations are analyzed, in an attempt to uncover the whereabouts of large sums believed to be inside the country or outside the official financial system.

 The information added that ongoing tracking operations reveal – according to the source – a complex financial network linked to dollar flows inside and outside Iraq, which raises questions about the size of undeclared funds and their true paths.  link

Tishwash:  The European Union hands over to the Ministry of Finance the assets of a project to develop public financial management in Iraq.

Tishwash:  The Central Bank and the Integrity Commission are taking action to close "money laundering channels" – statement

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Nizar Nasser Hussein, and the Head of the Federal Integrity Commission, Mohammed Ali Al-Lami, agreed today, Thursday (July 2, 2026), to put in place rapid coordination mechanisms to dry up the avenues for smuggling money by activating proactive monitoring and exchanging immediate data.

 The meeting, which took place at the bank's headquarters and was attended by both sides on the occasion of the new governor assuming his position, witnessed an in-depth discussion of the files of protecting public funds, where it was decided to form a joint coordination working group to close the legal and procedural gaps, and to pursue illegal proceeds to recover them in accordance with the legal frameworks.

 The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Nizar Nasser Hussein, received at the bank’s headquarters the Head of the Federal Integrity Commission, Dr. Muhammad Ali Al-Lami, who offered his congratulations and blessings to His Excellency on the occasion of his assuming his new position, wishing him success in managing the country’s monetary policy.

The meeting witnessed an in-depth discussion of a number of vital files of common interest, where both sides stressed the importance of institutional integration between the Central Bank and regulatory bodies to protect public funds and enhance the environment of integrity and transparency in all state institutions.

In a strategic move to enhance financial security, the head of the Integrity Commission and the governor of the Central Bank agreed to strengthen joint coordination mechanisms with the aim of drying up avenues for money smuggling and combating the challenges facing the financial system, through activating proactive oversight and exchanging real-time data, which represents a fundamental pillar in pursuing corruption crimes, and tracking smuggled funds and illicit proceeds to recover them in accordance with legal frameworks.

At the conclusion of the meeting, both parties emphasized the need for the swift implementation of the joint agreements and the formation of a coordinating working group to ensure that any legal and procedural loopholes that could be exploited in financial transactions are addressed.  link

Tishwash:  Diversifying the Iraqi economy: A historic opportunity or a project that clashes with old obstacles?

 Economic reform is one of the most prominent challenges facing Iraq, given the continued heavy reliance on oil revenues and the direct impact of fluctuations in global energy prices.

Conversely, there are increasing calls to adopt economic policies based on diversifying income sources, encouraging investment, and strengthening the role of the private sector, which would contribute to building a more stable economy capable of facing crises.

With the current government adopting a package of economic plans and reforms, a question arises about its ability to translate this vision into tangible results that reflect on the lives of citizens and the national economy.

Economic expert Abbas Al-Shatri confirmed today, Thursday (July 2, 2026), that the current government adopts an economic vision different from the previous government, based on diversifying income sources and reducing dependence on oil revenues, in addition to stimulating investment and developing the economic infrastructure.

Al-Shatri told Baghdad Today that “Iraq is working genuinely to save the Iraqi economy from the accumulated challenges, based on an economic vision that focuses on structural reforms rather than temporary solutions, which distinguishes its approach from many previous governments.”

He explained that "the success of this vision remains contingent on the continued implementation of reforms, the provision of a supportive legislative and administrative environment, as well as combating corruption and strengthening partnership with the private sector, which will positively impact growth rates and job opportunities."

He added that "Iraq possesses great economic potential that qualifies it to achieve a qualitative leap in the coming years if reform policies continue and development projects are implemented according to clear timetables, and the current stage represents an opportunity to lay the foundations for a more diversified and sustainable economy."

For many years, the Iraqi economy has relied mainly on oil revenues, which represent the largest share of the general budget revenues, making it vulnerable to the fluctuations of global markets.

Over the past years, many government programs have been proposed for economic reform and diversification of income sources, but challenges such as corruption, bureaucracy, a weak investment environment, and delays in project implementation have limited the achievement of broad results.  link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Evening 7-02-26

The Dollar Records A New Decline Against The Iraqi Dinar In The Local Markets

Last Updated: July 1, 2026   The exchange rates of the US dollar, on Wednesday, a new decline against the Iraqi dinar in the local markets, amid slight changes in the movement of supply and demand within the market.

According to market data, the selling price of the dollar recorded 155,500 dinars per 100 dollars, while the purchase price reached 154,500 dinars per 100 dollars, in an indication of the continued volatility in exchange rates during the recent period.

This new decline comes at a time when local markets are following the developments of monetary policy and regulatory measures related to the exchange market, which aim to achieve greater stability in the price of the currency.

Traders in the market are waiting for more indicators in the coming days, to see if this decline will be the beginning of a continuous downtrend or just a temporary correction within the usual fluctuation range.

Exchange rates in Iraq remain subject to multiple factors, including the movement of demand for the dollar, control procedures, and internal and external economic developments. LINK

US Treasury Tracks $300 Billion Out Of Iraq’s Banking System

Last Updated: July 1, 2026  Independent sources revealed to the «independent» information described as dangerous, indicating that the US Treasury informed the government of Ali al-Zaidi of the existence of amounts estimated at $ 300,000,000,000 believed to have left the official banking system.

According to the source, these funds are suspected of being still outside banking channels, specifically by some political figures, away from direct financial supervision.

The source also pointed to the existence of what he described as "accurate sequences of the movement of the dollar allocated to Iraq," where the trajectory of funds is tracked and analysis of transfers and distribution, in an attempt to reveal the whereabouts of large sums believed to be inside the country or outside the official financial system.

According to the source, the ongoing tracking operations reveal a complex financial network linked to dollar flows inside and outside Iraq, opening the door to questions about the size of undeclared funds and their real trajectories.   LINK

Public Funds Stolen In Iraq Surpass $2 Trillion Since 2003

Iraq   Amr Salem   July 2, 2026   Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Prime Minister’s legal advisor, Munir Haddad, revealed that more than $2 trillion have been stolen from Iraq since 2003.

According to the Iraqi News Agency, Haddad stated that the number of suspects continues to increase as investigations with the arrested ones are ongoing.

The Iraqi government launched a countrywide anti-corruption campaign on Sunday known as “Operation Dawn.” Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered the crackdown, which has resulted in the arrests of several lawmakers and senior officials, as well as the recovery of millions of dollars, gold, luxurious cars, and real estate.

Iraqi security forces began the massive campaign following judicial orders, targeting dozens of current and former government officials.

The step, which included lifting parliamentary immunity and overnight raids in Baghdad’s Green Zone, is based on confessions and investigations into the major arrest of Adnan al-Jumaili, a deputy oil minister accused of corruption.

Primary suspects have delivered extensive confessions, prompting security and judicial officials to arrest more individuals, according to Haddad.

The Iraqi official clarified that some of the suspects attempted to leave the country or seek a safe haven in Iraqi Kurdistan, but Kurdish authorities have shown cooperation and handed over eight suspects so far.

The offenses being investigated include both typical embezzlement and money laundering.

According to Haddad, the sums seized by the authorities are incredible. For example, the wife of one of the defendants purchased a home worth $5 million. Furthermore, some of the accused hold over 50 properties registered in their own or family members’ names.

The campaign will cover several Iraqi provinces. “The investigations and arrests are ongoing and will not adhere to a specific timeline,” Haddad said. They are being conducted in complete secrecy to prevent any individuals who are wanted from fleeing.

Iraq Seeks To Raise Oil Output Ahead Of Global Energy Transition

Iraq   Amr Salem   July 2, 2026    Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraq seeks to boost oil production and optimize its reserves for revenue generation before a global energy transition potentially reduces oil demand.

Iraq is adopting an approach that delaying the development of oil reserves may be less cost-effective than increasing output at the present time, according to Reuters.

Oil constitutes approximately 90 percent of the revenue for the Iraqi government. The recent conflict and the resulting turmoil forced Baghdad to cut its daily output from over 4.2 million barrels to under 1.5 million barrels in May. This situation underscores the urgent need to increase production to recover the lost revenue.

New investments worth billions of dollars from businesses such as British Petroleum (BP), TotalEnergies, and ExxonMobil have raised hopes that Iraq would be able to transform its massive oil reserves into long-term financial benefits. However, this approach raises concerns about a potential significant decline in global oil consumption in the years ahead.

The main concern involves the potential for increased supplies from various producing countries, which could lead to a supply glut and a decline in oil prices. This is particularly relevant as global output is projected to rise by nearly eight million barrels per day by 2027, while the growth in demand is expected to be slower.

The Iraqi strategy is based on the timing factor due to the uncertainties over when global oil demand will decline and whether producers can profit from their reserves prior to that time.

8 Million Barrels Of Iraqi Crude Oil Still trapped On Tankers

Iraq   Amr Salem   July 2, 2026    Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Over eight million barrels of Iraqi crude oil are still trapped aboard ships, but over 100 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products that had accumulated in the Gulf have begun to slowly flow back to international markets, offering a temporary relief from supply constraints, Shafaq News said on Thursday, citing a report issued by S&P Global Commodity Insights.

Iraq, along with Oman, has been identified as one of the Middle East’s top countries to reactivate oil output, while key refineries in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Kuwait would take months to restore operations, according to the report.

The total amount of crude oil in the Arabian Gulf reached around 90.5 million barrels, with the remainder divided among other petroleum products. More than 90 million barrels of crude oil were aboard vessels ready to be transported.

According to estimates, Iraq has around 8.3 million barrels of oil stuck on tankers, following only Iran with 31.7 million barrels, Saudi Arabia with 18.7 million barrels, and the UAE with 17 million barrels. Kuwait recorded 8.1 million barrels, Qatar had 4 million, and Oman had 2.2 million barrels.

Most Gulf oil exports are bound for East Asian markets. This demonstrates that the resumption of these supplies may have an impact on the global supply-demand balance, affecting oil prices and producing nations’ income.

International banks anticipate that exports will return to pre-war levels in July, but there is still concern that the effects of such quantities will be temporary until actual production in the region improves.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

SEC Launches ‘Project Crypto’ to Bring Traditional Finance On-Chain

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has unveiled Project Crypto, a sweeping initiative designed to modernize securities regulations for blockchain-based financial markets. The proposal aims to create clearer rules for tokenized assets, digital securities, and cryptocurrency markets while supporting innovation under a regulated framework.

Overview

• The SEC has launched Project Crypto to modernize U.S. securities regulations for blockchain-based financial markets.

• Most digital assets may no longer be classified as securities, potentially reducing legal uncertainty for much of the crypto industry.

• The initiative supports tokenized financial markets while coordinating regulatory oversight with the CFTC.

Key Developments

1. SEC Introduces Project Crypto

SEC Chairman Paul Atkins announced Project Crypto, a comprehensive initiative designed to update securities regulations so traditional financial assets—including stocks, bonds, and other securities—can operate efficiently on blockchain infrastructure. The effort aligns with recommendations from the President's Working Group on Digital Assets and supports the broader adoption of tokenized finance.

2. Most Digital Assets Could Avoid Securities Classification

One of the proposal's most significant changes is the SEC's position that the majority of digital assets should not automatically be treated as securities. If adopted, many blockchain projects could operate under clearer regulatory guidelines rather than facing ongoing uncertainty over securities laws.

3. SEC and CFTC Plan Joint Regulatory Framework

The SEC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are expected to establish a Memorandum of Understanding to better define regulatory responsibilities for digital assets that fall outside traditional securities laws. This coordinated approach aims to reduce overlapping oversight and improve regulatory clarity.

4. New Rules Planned for Tokenized Markets

The SEC's Crypto Task Force, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, will develop proposals covering:

• Digital asset custody

• Tokenized securities trading

• Market structure modernization

• Decentralized finance (DeFi) integration

• Distribution standards for digital assets

The agency expects updated market structure rules to be introduced during 2026.

Why It Matters

Project Crypto represents one of the strongest indications yet that U.S. regulators are preparing for a financial system where traditional assets and blockchain technology operate together. Clearer regulations could encourage greater institutional participation, accelerate tokenization, and reduce legal uncertainty that has slowed innovation across the digital asset industry.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

A more defined regulatory framework for tokenized financial assets could accelerate the development of tokenized currencies, stablecoins, and blockchain-based payment systems. As global financial infrastructure continues to modernize, investors following currency reform and digital asset adoption may view these regulatory developments as an important step toward faster and more efficient financial markets.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade

Clearer rules for blockchain-based financial markets could support faster cross-border payments, tokenized settlements, and more efficient global financial transactions, reducing friction in international commerce.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

Project Crypto advances the modernization of U.S. financial infrastructure by creating a regulatory framework that supports tokenization, blockchain networks, and digital asset innovation within regulated markets.

Future Outlook

The SEC plans to continue developing Project Crypto through 2026 alongside the CFTC and industry participants. If implemented successfully, the initiative could position the United States as a leading jurisdiction for regulated digital assets while encouraging broader adoption of tokenized securities and blockchain-based financial services.

This is not just about cryptocurrency—it reflects a broader transformation of financial markets as regulators build the legal framework for tokenized assets, digital infrastructure, and the next generation of global finance.

Reset Intelligence: The Price of Admission

Reset Intelligence: The Price of Admission

The Price of Admission

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

Iraq’s parliament returned from recess today, and Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi now has about 14 days to finish building his government and finish cleaning it out before he lands in Washington.

The arrests that locked down Baghdad’s Green Zone are the opening move. The deadline behind them is the real story.

The recovery keeps climbing

The money coming back keeps rising with every arrest. This is not a single raid. It is an audit of an entire political class.

• Oil-ministry case – over $107 million  recovered, plus 70 properties, vehicles and gold.
• The walls – $14 million pulled from inside the home of one deputy oil minister.
• Iraqi Airways case – a separate 19 billion dinars recovered.
• Under investigation – close to 1,000 officials, and the list grows with every interrogation.

Two doors, one lock

This month Iraq was added to the FATF grey list, the global watchdog’s register of countries with dirty-money problems. That matters, because a currency is only worth what a foreign bank will clear, and for years Iraq’s banks had lost the correspondent lines that let money move at all.

• July 5 – special session to seat the final 9 ministers, interior and defence among them.
• Mid-July – al-Zaidi flies to Washington, with a reported $400 billion energy fund on the table.

Clean the house, and the banks open the door. That is the order, and Iraq is finally running it.

The part the headlines miss

Everyone is asking whether the dinar goes up. The real question is whether Iraq can prove it is clean enough for the money to come home at all. There is a country that ran this exact play and won, and there is a reason the arrests come before the reprice, not after. That is the connection we walk through in today’s full briefing.

Rob Cunningham: The Magnitude of Any Resulting Price Move

Rob Cunningham: The Magnitude of Any Resulting Price Move

7-2-2026

If most of the developments I’ve listed below materialize over a relatively compressed time frame, they would represent a convergence of regulatory, technological, macroeconomic, and geopolitical factors.

Such a convergence should plausibly strengthen institutional demand for digital assets generally and XRP specifically.

The magnitude of any resulting price move will depend on synergistic factors such as adoption, liquidity, positioning, valuation, and broader market sentiment.

The Big Variables

140 Conglomerates engage OUSD
EU MiCa Adoption July 1
Extreme U.S. Clarity Act Push
DTCC SEC “No Action” Letter
DTCC July 14 System Test
DTCC Oct ‘26 $144 Trillion Onchain Move
Iraq Normalization Efforts
Iran MOU & Peace Deal
Abraham Accords Full Approval
Oil below $68/Barrel
XRP at lowest RSI in history
Potential Fed Rate Cut in July

The flywheel

The important observation is that these are not all the same catalyst.

They operate on different layers simultaneously:

Legal certainty
MiCA
CLARITY Act

↓

Institutional infrastructure
DTCC
Tokenization
Stablecoins

↓

Macroeconomic liquidity
Lower oil
Lower inflation
Potential Fed easing

↓

Geopolitical stability
Middle East normalization
Trade expansion

↓

Technical positioning
Depressed RSI
Existing market pessimism

When multiple independent layers align, markets can experience nonlinear repricing, because investors begin to update expectations at the same time rather than sequentially.

Why XRP could be especially sensitive

XRP’s investment thesis has long depended less on consumer adoption and more on:

regulated cross-border settlement,
liquidity between tokenized assets,
institutional interoperability,
payment infrastructure.

If legal clarity improves while tokenization expands and monetary conditions become more accommodative, investors who previously stayed on the sidelines may reassess the probability that XRP’s intended use cases gain wider adoption. That could increase demand independently of retail speculation. The CLARITY Act, if enacted, would further clarify regulatory treatment for many digital assets and could reduce uncertainty that has weighed on the sector.

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,

IMF Says Tokenization Could Transform Settlement and Financial Stability

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) says tokenization could fundamentally reshape global financial markets by enabling near-instant settlement, improving efficiency, and modernizing financial infrastructure. While the IMF sees enormous potential, it also warns that common standards and coordinated regulation will be essential to prevent new systemic risks as tokenized finance expands.

Overview

• The IMF says tokenization could significantly improve global financial market efficiency by accelerating settlement and modernizing asset ownership.

• The organization warns that without global interoperability standards and coordinated regulation, tokenized markets could become fragmented and introduce new financial risks.

• Major banks, regulators, and financial institutions are rapidly advancing tokenized finance initiatives, signaling that blockchain infrastructure is moving into the financial mainstream.

Key Developments

1. IMF Endorses Tokenization as a Major Financial Innovation

The IMF stated that tokenization is no longer simply a cryptocurrency concept but a technology capable of transforming traditional finance. By placing assets, settlement, and recordkeeping onto shared distributed ledgers, transactions that currently require several days could potentially settle within minutes or seconds.

2. Faster Settlement Could Improve Global Liquidity

Near-instant settlement may reduce counterparty risk, lower operating costs, free up capital, and improve liquidity across financial markets. The IMF believes these efficiencies could modernize payments, securities settlement, and asset transfers worldwide.

3. Regulators Face Critical Policy Decisions

The IMF stressed that governments and regulators have a limited window to establish global standards. Decisions involving interoperability, governance, settlement assets, smart contracts, and the future role of central banks will determine whether tokenization strengthens or fragments the global financial system.

4. Traditional Financial Institutions Continue Moving Toward Tokenization

Large financial institutions continue expanding tokenization initiatives. The Clearing House, whose owners include major U.S. banks, is preparing a tokenized deposit network, while additional research from PwC and Moody's indicates banks are actively preparing for broader blockchain integration.

5. SEC Continues Developing U.S. Regulatory Framework

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission continues refining how existing securities laws apply to tokenized assets. The agency is also evaluating an innovation exemption that could allow firms to test blockchain-based trading platforms while permanent regulatory frameworks are developed.

Why It Matters

The IMF's endorsement represents another major signal that tokenization is becoming part of the future financial system rather than remaining a niche blockchain application. As regulators and major financial institutions increasingly embrace tokenized assets, the technology could significantly improve settlement speed, transparency, liquidity, and operational efficiency across global markets.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Tokenization supports the modernization of financial infrastructure that many analysts believe will eventually improve cross-border payments, settlement efficiency, and digital asset integration. While it does not directly affect currency revaluations, it represents another foundational step toward faster, more transparent international financial systems.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 3 – Assets

The IMF's recognition of tokenization reinforces the transition toward digitally represented financial assets, real-world asset tokenization, and more efficient capital markets supported by blockchain technology.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

Tokenization advances the modernization of global financial infrastructure by enabling faster settlement, programmable assets, interoperable ledgers, and next-generation payment systems that could reshape international finance.

Looking Ahead

The next several years will likely determine how quickly tokenized finance moves from pilot programs into everyday financial markets. Success will depend on international cooperation, regulatory clarity, common technical standards, and secure blockchain infrastructure. If these elements come together, tokenization could become one of the most significant upgrades to the global financial system in decades.

This is not just about blockchain—it reflects the accelerating modernization of the global financial system as governments, regulators, and major financial institutions work to build faster, more efficient, and interoperable market infrastructure.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Afternoon 7-02-26

The New York Times: The US Administration Has Resumed The Transfer Of Oil Revenues To Iraq

Economy News _ Baghdad   The New York Times revealed that the White House administration has resumed sending Iraqi oil revenues to Baghdad, against the backdrop of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s campaign against those involved in financial corruption cases.  The newspaper quoted the spokesman for the Iraqi government, Haider al-Aboudi, as saying: "The shipments of the dollar to Iraq have resumed, and the problem has been solved."

The financial adviser to the prime minister, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, also confirmed the resumption of transfers.

The U.S. State Department or Treasury did not comment on the matter, according to the New York Times.

The resumption of dollar shipments coincides with the launch of an anti-corruption campaign, which included the arrest of dozens of current and former officials, including members of the House of Representatives, on corruption-related charges.

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump halted the flow of dollars from oil sales to Iraq’s largely cash-banking economy in April.

Iraqi officials said at the time that Washington had also suspended cooperation and funding for Iraqi security services.

An official from the Kurdistan region at the time pointed out that one of the motives for suspending dollar shipments was to limit the smuggling of the US currency by Iranian-backed militias, at a time when the country was in the process of choosing a new prime minister, amid US efforts to prevent the arrival of candidates seen as close to Tehran.

Washington has also been demanding that the Iraqi government rein in a number of militias linked to Tehran that operate largely outside state control and have occasionally carried out attacks against U.S. targets inside Iraq.

It is noteworthy that new international banking rules were imposed years ago on Baghdad according to greater requirements for transparency on financial transfers in dollars held as foreign reserves of Iraq in an account with the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.

The Central Bank of Iraq has facilitated these financial transfers from its account with the Federal Reserve in New York for the benefit of Iraqi companies and individuals to pay for goods imported from outside the country.

These transfers are vital because few Iraqi companies have international bank accounts.

Iraq Wins A Lawsuit In Jordan And Obliges A Company To Pay Financial Compensation

Money and business     Economy News – Baghdad   The Ministry of Justice announced on Thursday that it has won a lawsuit pending before the Amman Court of Appeal in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and obtained a final ruling that requires a Jordanian company to pay financial compensation in favor of the General Company for Southern Refineries of the Ministry of Oil.

The ministry said that the ruling came against the backdrop of the defendant’s violation of the implementation of its contractual obligations arising from the contract concluded between the two parties in 2011, after the legal department in the Ministry of Justice followed the proceedings before the Jordanian judiciary until the issuance of the final judicial decision.

This achievement comes within the framework of the Iraqi government's keenness to protect public money and preserve the rights of the Iraqi state outside the country, and embodies the continuous legal efforts exerted by the Ministry of Justice, in coordination with the concerned government agencies, to follow up on foreign lawsuits and restore rights in accordance with legal and judicial frameworks, thus enhancing Iraq's position in protecting its legal interests at the regional and international levels https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=70907

A Parliamentary Committee Is Heading To Review All Oil Contracts And Licensing Rounds

Money and business   Economy News – Baghdad    The Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee said it has a tendency to re-review all oil contracts and licensing rounds

A member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Jassim Al-Moussawi, said that the committee has a tendency to review all oil contracts and licensing rounds, noting that this file is one of the important and sensitive files that need comprehensive scrutiny to identify the flaws and address the problems that have emerged during the implementation stages.

Al-Moussawi explained that the committee is continuing to follow up this file by reviewing the details of the contracts and the contracting mechanisms adopted in the oil sector, pointing out that some contracts need to be re-evaluated to ensure their harmony with the national interest, maximize the revenues achieved by the state, and reduce any aspects that may lead to the waste of financial resources.

He added that the oil sector, despite its great importance to the Iraqi economy, has faced a number of challenges during the past years as a result of errors that accompanied the implementation of some projects, pointing out that some refineries established with government funding did not achieve the required goals because of the assignment of their implementation to companies that were not at the required level of efficiency, causing the failure of those projects and the opening of investigation files linked to them.

He stressed that the review process will not be limited to licensing rounds only, but will include various projects related to the production, refining and oil investment sectors, in order to diagnose weaknesses and develop practical solutions that ensure improved performance and maximum utilization of oil resources.

Moussawi pointed out that the reform of the oil sector is a key priority in view of its pivotal role in supporting the national economy and financing the general budget, stressing that addressing the gaps in contracts and projects can contribute to reducing financial waste, raising the level of administration, and increasing the economic returns achieved by the state

Tishwash:  The New York Times: The United States resumes dollar transfers to Iraq after suspending them for months.

The New York Times: The United States has resumed dollar transfers to Iraq after suspending them for months.

The administration of US President Donald Trump had suspended dollar shipments to Iraq and frozen funding for security cooperation programs with the government to pressure Baghdad to dismantle armed factions, according to The Wall Street Journal.

According to officials cited by the newspaper, the US Treasury Department recently blocked the transfer of an air shipment of approximately $500 million in cash—revenue from Iraqi oil sales—from accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to Iraq, due to US concerns about Iraqi factions.

The US State Department told the newspaper that the Iraqi government's "failure" to prevent attacks by these factions "negatively impacts" Washington's relationship with Baghdad, noting that the Trump administration expects the authorities to take immediate action to dismantle these factions.

State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott emphasized that the US will not tolerate attacks on US interests, adding that "entities linked to the Baghdad government continue to provide political, financial, and operational cover for the factions."

US and Iraqi officials revealed to the newspaper that the suspension of dollar shipments to Iraq is a temporary measure, and that Washington informed Baghdad of its intention to suspend funding for some counterterrorism programs and armed forces training until attacks by armed factions cease.  link

Tishwash:  Abu Kalal: Iraq is close to launching Starlink services within a comprehensive regulatory framework.

 The head of the executive body of the Media and Communications Commission, Baligh Abu Kalal, confirmed today, Wednesday, (July 1, 2026), that Iraq is proceeding with completing the procedures for licensing the Starlink service in its final stages, which will allow the introduction of one of the most prominent modern satellite communication technologies to the Iraqi market within a clear regulatory framework that preserves national interests and keeps pace with global developments.

During his speech at the opening of the third edition of the Iraqi Communications Summit, Abu Kalal explained that: “The communications sector is no longer a traditional service sector, but has become part of the modern sovereign structure of countries, and a fundamental pillar of the digital economy, e-government and smart services,” stressing that “the Authority views this sector as one of the engines of economic and social development in Iraq.”

He pointed out that the next phase will witness a greater focus on service quality, in addition to expanding coverage, through the development of technical monitoring tools and measuring performance indicators of operating companies, in order to ensure an improved user experience in various governorates.

The head of the executive body affirmed that the authority is proceeding with establishing a stable regulatory environment based on fair competition and the rule of law, indicating that Iraq supports investment, respects competition, and is working to build a stable communications market capable of keeping pace with the requirements of the future.

Abu Kalal also stressed the importance of fiber optic projects as the backbone of digital transformation, along with satellite communications and the fifth generation, as an integrated system that contributes to expanding users’ options and opening the way for more advanced industrial and service applications.

Mr. Abu Kalal pointed out that the Authority is working, in cooperation with the relevant authorities and companies operating in the sector, to prepare the regulatory and technical requirements for the transition to fifth-generation technologies, and to benefit from artificial intelligence applications in network management, improving the quality of services and raising performance efficiency.

He concluded his speech by emphasizing that the future of communications in Iraq is built through a partnership between the Authority, the Ministry of Communications, operating companies, investors, academic institutions and experts, in order to build a modern and sustainable communications sector that keeps pace with Iraq’s aspirations and the challenges of the times.link

Tishwash:    Gulf States Are Watching Closely The Anti-Corruption Campaign In Iraq: "Investment In Exchange For Controlling Weapons."

 Former Kuwaiti Information Minister Sami Al-Nisf believes that the future of Gulf investments in Iraq depends on the government's ability to impose state control over weapons and confront corruption, warning that the continued presence of armed groups outside the official system will keep Iraq from attracting capital. Al-Nisf explained, during a television interview published by local media, that “any Gulf economic openness to Iraq requires the existence of a state capable of extending its full authority, indicating that the international community holds governments respo

any attacks launched from their territories, regardless of who carries them out.” He noted that “the Gulf states are following with interest the efforts of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government to restrict weapons to the state, in addition to the measures to pursue corruption cases, considering that the success of these two paths will give investors greater confidence in the Iraqi environment.”

He pointed out that “attacks carried out by drones cannot go unpunished,” explaining that international legal options remain on the table if such attacks continue, because international laws do not differentiate between non-state actors and the responsibility of the state on whose territory the incidents occur.

Al-Nisf explained that “achieving economic development requires security stability and the state’s monopoly on the use of force, stressing that the investor, whether from the Gulf or Iraq, first looks for a safe and stable environment before investing his money in any project.”

He added that “Iraq has great economic opportunities, but their investment remains contingent on consolidating state sovereignty, ending the manifestations of uncontrolled weapons, and strengthening the path of administrative and financial reform, in order to restore confidence in the Iraqi economy and encourage the flow of foreign investments.”  link

Tishwash:  From the top of the US Treasury Department to the Kurdistan Regional Bank: A new roadmap to boost banking confidence and attract investment

The Kurdistan Regional Commercial Bank (RTB) is holding its first meeting of its new board of directors. With this move, the bank will become the first local bank in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to implement an international governance system, a step that is expected to boost banking confidence in the region.

The council is chaired by Mr. Marshall Billingslea, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and former President of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is a global body that sets standards for combating money laundering and terrorist financing. The team also includes a number of prominent figures, such as Mr. Gregory Gatianis, former Deputy Director of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC);

Ilze Zanutina, former head of the Latvian Financial Intelligence Unit and advisor to the International Monetary Fund and the European Commission, and Dr. Jorge Jimenez, an expert on the US Federal Payments System, are among the board members. Other members include Hashim Hamandi, Basil Kivan, Adnan Kafait, and Colonel Hijazi. Yilmaz Ugur Ay, who has over twenty years of experience in the Iraqi and Turkish financial markets, will handle day-to-day operations as CEO.

The presence of this strong team of experts from the US Treasury Department and international institutions will open new horizons for the Iraqi banking sector, freeing it from the financial isolation it has suffered for years.

This radical change in three key dimensions could fundamentally transform Iraq's economic equation. First, it strengthens the bank itself. RTB Bank is upgrading its internal control system, risk management, and financial infrastructure to international standards, ensuring its protection against money laundering risks and its compliance with global standards.

Second, openness to the global financial system. Achieving this level of trust paves the way for correspondent banking with major American and European banks, a step that reduces import and export costs for local companies and facilitates the movement of funds.

Third, attracting foreign investment. When international companies see a local bank managed according to the highest international standards, they are more inclined to invest in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.

The Regional Commercial Bank has been providing banking services since July 2001, and established its headquarters in Erbil in September 2003. It is licensed and registered with the Central Bank of Iraq, and has not been subject to any banking sanctions since its establishment to date.  link

Tishwash: In the presence of the US Chargé d'Affaires, the Governor of Basra signs a memorandum of understanding with the American energy company KBR.

Basra Governor Asaad Al-Eidani signed a memorandum of understanding onTuesday with the American company KBR, which specializes in the fields of energy, space and technology, with the aim of strengthening cooperation in the energy sector.

The US Embassy in Iraq stated in a statement that Chargé d'Affaires Harris, accompanied by a delegation from the US company KBR, received the Governor of Basra, stressing his country's desire to deepen the economic partnership with Iraq, particularly in Basra Governorate, in a way that achieves tangible results that benefit both countries.

The statement added that Al-Eidani signed the memorandum of understanding with the American company, which is one of the world’s leading companies operating in the fields of engineering and energy, and is headquartered in Houston, Texas.

The move comes as part of efforts to strengthen economic cooperation and attract foreign investment to Iraq's energy sector   link

Dinar Chronicles via a GCR Update as of Thurs. 2 July 2026

Compiled Thurs. 2 July 2026 12:01 am ET by Patrick DaCosta (TerraZetzz), founder, owner, and administrator of Dinar Chronicles, Operation Disclosure Official, Voyages of Light.

After years of dedicated service, Judy Byington, a widely recognized voice in the community, has reportedly announced her cessation of the “Restored Republic via a GCR” reports.

We extend our gratitude for her tireless work and wish her a well-deserved break. In her absence, Operation Disclosure Official and Dinar Chronicles has committed to continuing her vital work, ensuring the community remains informed on the unfolding events, unless Judy decides to return.

While her departure marks the end of an era for many followers, the Dinar Chronicles framework suggests this transition isn’t an ending, but rather a prelude to an “unstoppable timeline” of monumental global changes.

This report synthesizes the intricate details provided, painting a picture of an imminent Global Currency Reset (GCR), the finalization of the Quantum Financial System (QFS), and the ushering in of a new age, aptly termed “Year Zero.”

Judy Byington’s decision to step back, reportedly citing computer issues and a sense that “the title of my updates ‘Restored Republic via a GCR’ has evidently already come to pass,” signals a pivotal moment. Her final report, dated Thursday, July 2, 2026 (in the report’s speculative future timeline), suggests the Restored Republic is ready for public announcement, possibly by Trump, alongside the Global Currency Reset. This narrative posits that years of anticipation among those following the GCR are now culminating, transitioning from speculative reports to concrete events that will reshape the global stage.

Crucially interwoven with this global narrative is Iraq’s strategic economic transformation, which Dinar Chronicles highlights as a cornerstone of the impending GCR. On Wednesday, July 1, 2026, Iraq is depicted as making a profound pivot under Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi. The nation is reportedly severing its dependence on post-2003 financial structures and abandoning the restrictive “program rate.” This move is being fortified by integrating cutting-edge digital oversight technologies like Starlink and ASYCUDA, alongside rigorous anti-money laundering protocols enforced by the new CBI leadership.

These reforms are presented as systematically dismantling entrenched corruption, paving the way for a stable financial future. The report emphasizes Iraq’s massive accumulation of over 170 tons of gold, positioning the Dinar to reflect the nation’s immense natural wealth.

This shift towards an asset-backed currency is not isolated; it’s viewed through the lens of NESARA/GESARA – the acronym representing overarching monetary reforms being adopted by over 200 nations, mirroring the global trend towards asset-backed value favored by the BRICS alliance. The resolution of the Hydrocarbon Law (HCL) is also cited as essential for a revalued Dinar, ensuring its stability for legitimate trade.

Following Iraq’s foundational work, the Dinar Chronicles points to Friday, July 3, 2026, as the date of “The Restoration Announcement.” This date signifies the moment when the “veil of secrecy” is reportedly lifted, bringing profound structural changes within the global financial system into public consciousness. It’s described as the crucial bridge connecting the old, fiat-dominated world with a new era of transparent, international monetary policy.

The climax of this financial transformation is (allegedly) set for Sunday, July 5, 2026, with the “Finalization of the Quantum Financial System (QFS).” This date marks the transition into a secure, decentralized network, designed to move away from traditional banking bottlenecks. The QFS is presented as the mechanism for the direct transfer of wealth back to the global populace, ensuring efficient and secure distribution of economic gains in this new era. As “Tier4b, ISO20022 on Telegram” starkly puts it, this day represents the “FINALS OF QFS TRANSITION. WEALTH TRANSFERRED TO THE PEOPLE.”

The culmination of these events, according to the Dinar Chronicles, is Monday, July 6, 2026, marking the beginning of “Year Zero.” This inaugural day signifies a new global era of “total prosperity.” With Iraq’s structural reforms solidified, the QFS fully operational, and the period of restoration underway, the world is poised to enter a phase of unprecedented growth and stability. This isn’t merely a change in currency; it’s depicted as a fundamental realignment of global trade and individual agency, designed to sustain long-term well-being for a world moving toward a unified financial future.

As the “Tier4b, ISO20022 on Telegram” message powerfully concludes, this is “THE FINAL TRANSMISSION BEFORE THE WORLD CHANGES FOREVER.” For those who have followed the intricate threads of the Dinar Chronicles, these reported dates represent not a collapse, but a global rebirth – ushering in an era where the financial sovereignty of nations and individuals is restored through an asset-backed, transparent system. The stage is reportedly set for an economic paradigm shift unlike any seen before.

Reset Intelligence   The arrests that locked down Baghdad's Green Zone are the opening move...The recovery keeps climbing.Investigators have pulled more than 107 million dollars from the oil-ministry case alone, including $14 million found inside the walls of one deputy minister's home, plus properties, vehicles and gold. A separate case at the national airline added another 19 billion dinars. The list of names under investigation grows with every interrogation.

Militia Man  We're seeing one of the most visible and high-profile wave of anti-corruption actions in recent years...On June 28th security forces carried out coordinated raids that resulted in the arrest of dozens of officials and sitting MPs with reports confirming at least 47 individuals detained in the initial sweep...  Everybody's onboard with this.  That's  really powerful.  I don't think we've ever seen anything like it...All of this is landing right as the cabinet is nearing completion and just weeks before high-stakes Washington visit...They want to show up in Washington with all the credibility they can manage.

Stephen   They're saying this is a new day for Iraq.   The way things have been going for almost 30 years, it's no longer going to continue that way...I want to be very careful...Even though things are as positive and exciting as I have ever seen them before, we have to remain grounded and let things play out. I don't know if the Iraqi dinar is going to revalue before [PM Zaidi's] visit to [D.C.]...Could it happen?  Of course it could happen.  But we just have to remain grounded and let things play out and see what happens...Things are looking extremely good right now...
