Tishwash:  KRG to end cash salary payments as banking transition to conclude by August

  2026-07-08 | 15:15

 The Kurdistan Regional Government will fully shift public-sector salary payments to the banking system after Aug. 31, ending cash payroll distribution for employees and pensioners covered by the MyAccount program.

The MyAccount project said Aug. 31 is the final deadline for beneficiaries to collect their bank cards from the banks where they opened their accounts. After that date, salaries will no longer be paid in cash, and beneficiaries who have not received their cards were urged to visit their designated banks.

The latest official figures show 862,168 public-sector salary recipients have registered with MyAccount and collected their bank cards, or 96% of all beneficiaries.

Registration rates vary by governorate. Erbil has registered 379,204 beneficiaries, or 99% of eligible recipients, and Duhok 188,164, also 99%. Halabja has registered 15,886, or 93%, and Sulaymaniyah 278,913, or 92%.

The announcement marks the final step in the KRG’s rollout of MyAccount, a program launched in 2023 to replace cash salary payments with direct deposits into personal bank accounts.

In May, the KRG said nearly 800,000 public-sector beneficiaries were receiving their salaries through MyAccount. At the time, officials reported more than 900,000 registrations, more than 800,000 bank cards issued and over 600 ATMs installed across the Kurdistan Region. The government said the ATM network would keep expanding as more beneficiaries join.

The program lets beneficiaries access their salaries through bank branches, ATMs and electronic banking services instead of collecting cash through the government’s previous payroll system.

Tishwash:  Pressure mounts to finalize the cabinet; Parliament urges blocs to settle on nominees, vote imminent.

 MP Abbas Al-Maliki stressed that the delay in completing the cabinet does not serve the political process, calling on political blocs to expedite the resolution of this issue and send the names of the remaining ministers to the House of Representatives in preparation for voting on them.

Al-Maliki said that the continued delay in completing the government formation is affecting the government's work and hindering the implementation of its program, noting that the House of Representatives informed the political blocs of the need to agree on the candidates and send their names to be presented to Parliament.

He added that political activity between the various forces is still ongoing with the aim of reaching understandings regarding the vacant ministries, noting that there are intensive contacts and consultations to accomplish this entitlement.

Al-Maliki explained that there is a trend to resolve the issue of completing the ministerial cabinet during the upcoming sessions of the House of Representatives, which will contribute to completing the government formation and ending one of the most prominent outstanding political issues. link

Tishwash:  Saleh: President Zaidi's visit to Washington and the launch of the "Energy and Development Fund" lay the foundation for a new phase in Iraq.

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that the Prime Minister’s anticipated visit to Washington, D.C., along with the launch of the joint Iraqi-American “Energy and Development Fund”, represent the beginning of a new phase in the path of economic and investment development in Iraq.

Saleh said the Prime Minister’s policy is based on linking a portion of oil revenues to the Resources Development Fund, with the aim of providing sustainable financing for major strategic projects, particularly in the energy, electricity and infrastructure sectors.

He explained that there is initial cooperation between Iraq and the United States to activate the “Energy and Development Fund”, noting that Al-Zaidi’s visit to Washington will contribute to resolving the main issues related to the mechanisms of the fund’s work and launching its projects.

He added that the expected funding for the fund could reach about $400 billion over thirty years, according to gradual growth linked to the performance of the projects and implementing companies, which would ensure the sustainability of funding and promote economic development.

Saleh explained that the fund will open accounts in reputable American banks to secure financing for electricity and infrastructure projects, stressing that one of its most prominent advantages is that it is not linked to the federal budget law, which is often delayed in its approval, which gives executive bodies greater flexibility in completing projects.

He pointed out that the fund will adopt an integrated monitoring system, including prior monitoring of contracting procedures and subsequent monitoring of implementation phases, which will enhance transparency and raise the efficiency of investment project management.  link

Tishwash:  Al-Bayati: We are waiting for a roadmap from the Ministry of Finance to address the economic challenges.

MP Mohammed al-Bayati confirmed on Wednesday that he is awaiting a roadmap from the Ministry of Finance for managing the financial situation in the coming period, given the challenges facing the Iraqi economy.

Al-Bayati told Al-Maalouma that "Iraq is going through a difficult financial phase due to its declining ability to export oil at high levels," noting that "the Ministry of Finance faces significant challenges, and we are waiting for a roadmap that clarifies the features of the next phase, the proposed solutions, and the mechanisms for correcting the financial course."

He added that "the Ministry of Finance faces complex challenges, and this is undeniable," explaining that "the next phase will be one of searching for exceptional solutions to address the significant decrease in budget revenues."

He pointed to "the importance of developing realistic and objective solutions that contribute to achieving financial stability and ensuring the state's ability to face the upcoming economic challenges."  link

Tishwash:  American newspaper: Iraq agreed to block dollars from reaching Iran and factions in order to resume currency shipments.

The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday evening that Iraq has agreed to new controls aimed at preventing the flow of dollars to Iran and its militia allies, in exchange for the Trump administration lifting a four-month suspension on shipments of US currency to Baghdad, according to what it quoted from US and Iraqi officials.

According to the newspaper report , which was followed by Shafaq News Agency, the US Treasury Department had stopped delivering banknotes in late February with the start of the war on Iran, depriving the government of Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi of much-needed cash liquidity from oil sales revenues deposited with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

With Iraqi oil exports almost completely halted due to the war, the US government exerted what the newspaper described as "enormous" pressure on Baghdad to reduce its ties with Tehran, which had used its neighbor as a major source of dollars in violation of US sanctions, according to the report.

The newspaper considered this move part of a broader effort by the US administration to urge Baghdad to move closer to Washington in the aftermath of the conflict.

Officials, as quoted by the newspaper, said that the Federal Reserve canceled at least two cash shipments on the instructions of the Treasury Department, one of which was worth nearly $500 million.

Deliveries of US dollars, aboard cargo planes chartered by the Iraqi government, resumed late last month, according to Iraqi officials.

In return, Baghdad promised to take measures to prevent Iran and its allies from obtaining dollars from Iraqi exchange companies and from paying the salaries of members of pro-Iranian "militias," according to the report.

A U.S. Treasury official said that shipments of U.S. dollars to Iraq have resumed after Baghdad committed to additional safeguards to prevent armed groups from exploiting the country's financial system.

The newspaper also quoted Iraqi government spokesman Haider al-Abudi as saying that financial transfers had resumed, but he declined to comment on the measures that Baghdad had agreed to restrict the dollar.

The terms agreed upon by Iraq were not previously disclosed. The New York Times had previously reported on the resumption of dollar shipments.

The Wall Street Journal noted that al-Zaidi, a little-known political figure who has never held office, is expected to meet with President Trump later this month in Washington.

She added that al-Zaidi was chosen by the elected Iraqi parliament as prime minister last May, after a long standoff between the United States and Iran over the selection of the country's next leader.

The report confirmed that al-Zaidi received Trump's endorsement despite owning a bank that the US Treasury Department had banned from dealing in dollars due to suspected dealings with an Iranian-linked militia leader. Iranian officials also publicly supported al-Zaidi's selection, according to the report.

He added that the White House's support came with a demand from al-Zaidi to exclude Iranian-backed militias from the next Iraqi government and reduce Tehran's influence in Baghdad. Al-Zaidi also ordered these militias to disarm and place their members under state control, according to the newspaper.

But the American demands, according to the report, involve serious political risks for al-Zaydi, and progress in reducing the influence of the "militias" is slow, according to analysts.

According to the report, previous Iraqi prime ministers have had little success in challenging the "militias," which enjoy strong support in parliament.link

Frank26  My teams are focused on one thing, and that is to start to watch the value of the Iraq dinar climb...while the market rate is destroyed after July 10th.  I find that very exciting.  We are going to be able to see the evidence of the shadows that we have been seeing or a long time.

Harlequinc3  I believe we are talking about a managed float, not a free float until all those old 3 0 notes are dried up. The CBI will control the range of motion the dinar has.

Mnt Goat   ...we don’t control the reinstatement...we all should know by now that the Iraqi dinar is being artificially suppressed and its real value, if it were to be restated to FOREX today, would be/should be much higher than 1/6 of a penny...we can see that a new Iraq is on the horizon. No, not decades or years from now. So, we have to wait a bit longer but the inevitable will happen and it has to happen.

Jeff   PMZ's trip to DC...we have three different time frames being mentioned.  The Majority of the articles have suggested mid-July...A couple have said July 15th, a couple have said July 17th...I don't think PMZ is going to DC specifically next week...I think PMZ is going to DC more the week of July 19th....maybe around 21st, 22nd, 23rd...I think  everything is pushed back one week.

Alasdair Macleod: First Phase of China's Currency Reset Started

7-9-2026

In this episode of the Macroscopic Podcast, Alexej Jordanov speaks with Alasdair Macleod about China’s new gold clearing system in Hong Kong, the shift of physical gold and silver from West to East, and why Beijing may be preparing for a future without the U.S. dollar.

Macleod explains why China is accumulating gold, silver, copper and other strategic commodities, how the Shanghai Gold Exchange and new vaulting infrastructure could support a yuan-gold settlement system, and why he believes Western paper gold markets like COMEX and London are vulnerable as physical demand moves east.

 The conversation also covers the possibility of Russia putting the ruble on a gold standard, the future of the dollar, the silver squeeze, China’s role in global commodity markets, and what investors should consider when storing physical gold and silver outside the banking system.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Friday Morning 7-10-26

Israel Warns US Of Alleged Iranian Assassination Plot Targeting Trump

2026-07-10 02:59  Shafaq News- Washington   Israel has shared intelligence with the United States indicating that Iran is preparing a new plot to assassinate US President Donald Trump, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday.

The report did not specify when or through which channel the intelligence was passed to Washington, nor did it disclose further details about the alleged plot.

According to the newspaper, calls for Trump's assassination resurfaced during funeral ceremonies for Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who was killed in US-Israeli strikes on Iran in late February.

Trump has survived several assassination attempts or alleged plots over the past two years. He was wounded in the ear during a shooting at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, while another suspected attempt was foiled at his golf club in Florida on Sept. 15, 2024.

Most recently, US Secret Service agents arrested a suspect before an armed attack could target the White House Correspondents' Association dinner on April 25, an event attended by Trump and senior members of his administration.

Oil Advances As Middle East Tensions Support Prices

2026-07-10 03:37   Shafaq News  Oil prices edged higher on Friday and were set for weekly gains because of renewed fears of supply disruptions from the key Middle East producing region after renewed ​fighting between the U.S. and Iran this week curtailed shipping in the Strait of ‌Hormuz.

Brent futures were up 4 cents, or 0.05%, at $76.34 a barrel by 0319 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude gained 7 cents, or 0.10%, to $72.15.

For the week, Brent was set for a gain of about 6% and WTI was ​headed for about a 5% increase.

"Prices have backed off the mid-week highs, but there is still a ​substantial risk premium as Hormuz transits are back to a near-standstill with no ⁠clear signs on when normal reopening might resume," said Vandana Hari, founder of oil market analysis ​provider Vanda Insights.

"However, it looks like market confidence in the U.S. and Iran returning to diplomacy to ​resolve the issue is capping the upside," Hari added.

Iranian armed forces launched attacks on U.S. military infrastructure in Gulf states on Thursday following U.S. strikes on Iran's southern coastal and eastern provinces, further straining a three-week-old ceasefire. Separately, Iranian ​media reported multiple explosions across southern Iran, including Bushehr, where one of the country's nuclear plants is ​located.

The renewed fighting came the day that Iran buried its slain supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the culmination of a ‌week of ⁠mass funeral processions and rallies. Khamenei was killed on the first day of the war on February 28.

The renewed fighting has delayed the full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, which carried about 20% of daily global oil and gas supplies before the war.

Tanker traffic through the strait on Thursday was at ​a near standstill, according ​to ship-tracking data, as ⁠vessel owners assessed the risk from the latest strikes, which started after Iran hit a Qatari LNG ship exiting the waterway near Oman.

Still, U.S. President ​Donald Trump said on Wednesday he did not think the war would ​restart because of ⁠the new fighting and that "anything that happens is going to be over very quickly."

"Despite the U.S. ramping up attacks on military sites in Iran, the market drew some reassurance from the Trump administration’s decision to avoid ⁠targeting Iranian ​energy infrastructure," said Daniel Hynes, senior commodity strategist for ANZ ​bank.

"This was aided by comments from President Trump, who said he doesn’t expect a return to a full-scale conflict."

Gold Slips On Inflation Fears Tied To US-Iran Conflict

2026-07-10 01:16   Shafaq News  Gold edged ​lower on Friday and was on track for a weekly fall on ‌concerns that escalating U.S.-Iran tensions could fuel inflation and keep the Federal Reserve on a hawkish monetary policy path.

Spot gold fell 0.2% to $4,113.29 per ounce by 0426 GMT and was headed for ​a 1.5% weekly decline. U.S. gold futures for August delivery fell 0.4% ​to $4,122.70.

"Gold is in consolidation mode today following yesterday's gains, with traders hesitant ⁠to commit to further upside amid the prevailing uncertainty over US-Iran relations," said ​Tim Waterer, chief market analyst at KCM Trade.

Oil prices were on track for a weekly ​gain as the U.S. and Iran continued to trade strikes, with Iranian armed forces launching attacks on U.S. military infrastructure in Gulf states on Thursday following U.S. strikes on Iran's southern coastal and ​eastern provinces.

The latest round of strikes has fuelled inflation concerns and reinforced the probability ​of the Fed raising rates this year.

Markets are pricing in a 63% chance of a September ‌rate ⁠hike, up from around 54% a week earlier, according to CME's FedWatch tool.

While gold is typically seen as a hedge against inflation, it loses its appeal as a non-yielding asset in a high-interest-rate environment.

"I expect gold will continue to attract buyers on dips ​as long as ​oil stays around current ⁠levels. However, any sharp spike in oil could reignite inflation and interest rate fears, which would be to gold's detriment," Waterer ​said.

Minutes of the Fed's June meeting, released earlier this week, ​showed growing ⁠concerns among policymakers about elevated inflation.

HSBC cut its average gold price forecasts for 2026 and 2027 on Thursday, citing a hawkish shift in U.S. monetary policy expectations and a stronger ⁠dollar.

Elsewhere, ​spot silver rose 0.6% to $60.34 per ounce, platinum gained ​1.4% to $1,632.16 and palladium climbed 1.6% to $1,267.71. All three metals were on track for a weekly loss.

Ports: Port Of Umm Qasr Initiates Transit Procedures For UAE Aid To Lebanon With Transit System

Money and business    Economy News — Baghdad   The Border Ports Authority announced on Friday the completion of the necessary procedures for the transit of trucks loaded with food coming from the United Arab Emirates to Lebanon through Iraqi territory with the transit system.

A spokesman for the Border Ports Authority, Aladdin Al-Qaisi, said that "in implementation of the directives of Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi and under the supervision of the head of the Border Ports Authority, Lieutenant General Omar Al-Waeli, the Directorate of the northern port of Umm Qasr has begun to complete all the necessary procedures for the passage of trucks loaded with food as humanitarian aid from the United Arab Emirates to the Republic of Lebanon."

He added that "the passage of these trucks is in accordance with the transit system through Iraqi territory to the Lebanese territory." https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=71176

Gold Is Heading For A Weekly Decline Amid Expectations Of A US Interest Rate Hike

Money and business    Economy News - Follow-up   Gold prices were little changed at the start of trading on Friday, as markets assessed the inflation risk caused by the latest military escalation between the United States and Iran and renewed expectations of a rise in interest rates prompted the metal that does not generate a return towards a weekly decline.

By 00:47 GMT, the spot price of gold had stabilized at $4122.09 an ounce, heading for a weekly loss of more than 1%. U.S. gold futures for August delivery fell 0.2 percent to $4,131.50.

Iran’s armed forces launched attacks on U.S. military infrastructure in Gulf countries on Thursday following U.S. strikes on coastal areas in southern and eastern Iran, putting more pressure on the ceasefire that was reached three weeks ago.

The latest round of strikes has fueled concerns about inflation and reinforced the prospect of the Federal Reserve raising U.S. interest rates this year.

According to C.C.'s Fed Watch tool. M. The markets see a 64% chance of a rate hike in September, compared to 54% a week ago.

The minutes of the Federal Reserve’s June meeting showed growing concerns among monetary policymakers about rising inflation, with a few saying interest rate hikes were warranted.

John Williams, chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, ruled out a sustained rise in energy prices for the rest of the year despite renewed hostilities in the Middle East.

The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits fell last week, suggesting the labor market remained stable despite slowing job growth in June.

For other precious metals, spot silver fell 0.1% to $59.94 an ounce, platinum rose 0.2% to $1,614.22, and palladium rose 0.4% to $1,252.75. The three metals are heading for a weekly loss     https://www.economy-news.net/content.php?id=71179

Fed Communication Review Signals Next Phase of Global Monetary Policy

The Federal Reserve's review of how it communicates future monetary policy, combined with support from the International Monetary Fund, highlights a growing shift in how central banks intend to guide markets during a period of elevated global uncertainty.

Overview

• The International Monetary Fund announced it will work with the Federal Reserve as the Fed reviews its monetary policy communications and forward guidance.

• The review reflects a changing economic environment, where higher inflation and interest rates require central banks to reconsider how they communicate future policy decisions.

• Financial markets are closely watching the outcome, as changes in Fed communication could influence interest rates, bond markets, currencies, and global capital flows.

Key Developments

1. IMF Backs Federal Reserve Policy Review

The International Monetary Fund said it looks forward to engaging with the Federal Reserve as officials evaluate how they communicate monetary policy. IMF officials noted that while forward guidance proved highly effective during years of near-zero interest rates, today's economic environment calls for a reassessment of that strategy.

2. Federal Reserve Reassesses Forward Guidance

The Federal Reserve plans to establish a task force to review how it signals future policy decisions. The objective is to improve transparency while ensuring communications remain effective during periods of persistent inflation and elevated interest rates.

3. Higher Inflation Has Changed the Policy Landscape

Unlike the years following the 2008 financial crisis, today's economy faces ongoing inflation pressures fueled by higher energy prices, geopolitical risks, and supply chain disruptions. These conditions make future policy decisions less predictable and require greater flexibility from central banks.

4. Markets Depend on Central Bank Communication

Investors rely heavily on Federal Reserve guidance when pricing stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities. Even subtle changes in how policymakers communicate can influence borrowing costs, investment decisions, and financial market volatility worldwide.

5. Global Central Banks Continue Modernizing Policy Frameworks

The IMF indicated that many central banks are reviewing how they communicate with financial markets as economic conditions evolve. The effort reflects a broader modernization of global monetary policy during a period of increasing geopolitical and financial uncertainty.

Why It Matters

Clear communication from central banks is essential for financial stability. As inflation, geopolitical tensions, and economic uncertainty continue to reshape global markets, the way central banks communicate policy may become just as important as the policy decisions themselves.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders should closely monitor changes in Federal Reserve policy communications. Expectations regarding interest rates directly affect exchange rates, capital flows, sovereign debt markets, and investor confidence around the world.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1 – Debt

Changes in Federal Reserve communication can significantly influence global borrowing costs, government debt financing, and capital markets, affecting both developed and emerging economies.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

Modern central banking increasingly relies on advanced data analysis, digital communications, and more transparent policy frameworks to improve market stability and investor confidence.

This is not just about how the Federal Reserve communicates—it reflects the continuing evolution of global monetary policy as central banks adapt to a more complex and interconnected financial system.

🌱 A Message to Our Currency Holders🌱

If you’ve been holding foreign currency for many years, you were not foolish.
You were not wrong to believe the global financial system would change.

What failed was not your patience — it was the information you were given.

For years, dates, rumors, and personalities replaced facts, structure, and proof. “This week” predictions created cycles of hope and disappointment that were never based on how currencies actually change.

That is not your failure.

Our mission here is different:   • No dates • No rates • No hype • No gurus

Instead, we focus on:
• Verifiable developments • Institutional evidence
• Global financial structure • Where countries actually sit in the process

Currency value changes only come after sovereignty, trade, banking, settlement systems, and fiscal coordination are in place. History and institutions confirm this sequence.

You will see silence. You will see denials. That is not delay — that is discipline.

Protect your identity. Organize your documents.    Verify everything.
Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.

You deserve truth — not timelines.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Thursday Evening 7-9-26

IMF Sees Iraq Contraction Before 2027 Rebound

2026-07-09 11:04   Shafaq News- Baghdad   Middle East and Central Asia growth is projected to fall to 0.7% in 2026 before rebounding to 6.5% in 2027, with Iraq among the commodity producers expected to contract sharply this year, the International Monetary Fund said.

In its July World Economic Outlook update, the IMF grouped Iraq with Kuwait and Qatar as the producers most affected by disruptions to energy output and transport, linking the downturn to a longer closure of the Strait of Hormuz than it assumed in April.

The Fund cut this year’s regional forecast by 1.2 percentage points and raised next year’s by 1.9 points, reflecting a deeper short-term hit and a larger expected rebound.

Saudi Arabia is expected to be less affected because of more diversified export routes, with growth projected at 1.7% in 2026 and 5.5% in 2027.

Globally, the IMF projected growth at 3.0% in 2026 and 3.4% in 2027, saying the outlook remains uneven and exposed to developments in the Middle East. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Economy/IMF-sees-Iraq-contraction-before-2027-rebound

Iraq detains Rafidain Bank officials over $1.22M fraud

2026-07-09 17:08   Shafaq News- Al-Diwaniyah  A joint force from Iraq's Federal Commission of Integrity and a SWAT unit arrested several Rafidain Bank officials in the southern province of Al-Diwaniyah on Thursday over a suspected currency manipulation operation that authorities believe resulted in the embezzlement of about 1.6 billion Iraqi dinars ($1.22M), a source told Shafaq News.

The investigation uncovered the fraudulent replacement of banknotes originally denominated at 50,000 Iraqi dinars ($38.15) with 1,000-dinar notes, enabling the theft.

Authorities are continuing efforts to identify all those involved and recover the stolen funds.

Iraq Signs Hamrin Oil Field Development Deal With US Firm

2026-07-09 08:16   Shafaq News- Baghdad  Iraq’s state-owned North Oil Company (NOC) signed a contract on Thursday with US-based HKN Energy to develop the Hamrin oil field spanning Kirkuk and Saladin provinces, with peak crude production projected at 140,000 barrels.

Oil Minister Basim Mohammed Khudair Al-Abadi said the agreement supports the government’s strategy to maximize investment in the country’s oil and gas resources, meet domestic energy demand, and increase exports, noting that the project is also expected to produce 40 million cubic feet of associated gas per day (MMcf/d), which will supply the field’s operational needs, while surplus volumes will be reinjected to maintain reservoir pressure instead of being flared.

Al-Abadi also stressed the government’s efforts to attract major international energy companies, particularly from the United States and Europe, under internationally recognized standards. The project, he added, would generate jobs for Iraqi workers and create opportunities for local companies.

“The Ministry will provide support to the company, and signing the contract is a message to all international companies that the domestic investment environment is an attractive environment for investment.”

Hamrin is one of northern Iraq’s largest undeveloped oil fields. The Oil Ministry signed a memorandum of understanding with HKN Energy in mid-2025 to develop the field, initially targeting production of about 60,000 barrels per day while capturing associated gas for power generation.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

BIS Says Tokenization Is the Future of Global Finance as Stablecoin Risks Grow

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) is calling for a new generation of global financial infrastructure built around tokenization while warning that today's stablecoins, in their current form, are not suitable as the foundation of the future monetary system.

Overview

• The BIS says tokenization could transform payments, securities settlement, and cross-border finance while preserving trust in money.

• The report warns that current stablecoin models contain structural weaknesses that could threaten financial stability if widely adopted.

• Central banks and commercial banks are being encouraged to modernize the existing financial system rather than replace it, accelerating the shift toward programmable digital finance.

Key Developments

1. BIS Endorses Tokenized Financial Infrastructure

The BIS concluded that tokenization represents one of the most significant technological advances in modern finance. Rather than creating an entirely new monetary system, the organization recommends integrating tokenized assets and programmable payments into today's regulated banking framework.

2. Stablecoins Face Increased Global Scrutiny

While acknowledging that stablecoins have demonstrated faster and more programmable payments, the BIS warned that many existing stablecoins lack important characteristics required of trusted money, including interoperability, resilience, and consistent redemption at face value.

3. Unified Ledger Concept Continues to Advance

The BIS highlighted continued development of a "Unified Ledger" architecture capable of bringing together tokenized commercial bank deposits, central bank money, and tokenized real-world assets on interoperable digital platforms. Officials believe this approach could significantly improve settlement efficiency while maintaining financial stability.

4. Cross-Border Payments Remain a Priority

Projects such as Project Agorá continue advancing international testing among major central banks and commercial banks. The initiative aims to reduce settlement delays, lower transaction costs, and improve cross-border payments using tokenized financial infrastructure.

5. Policymakers Call for Global Coordination

The BIS emphasized that international cooperation will be essential to establish common standards governing tokenization, digital money, and financial interoperability. Without coordinated regulation, fragmented digital financial systems could introduce new systemic risks.

Why It Matters

The BIS serves as the coordinating institution for many of the world's central banks, making its recommendations highly influential. Its latest report signals that tokenization is moving beyond experimentation and into the next phase of financial infrastructure development, where regulation, interoperability, and institutional participation become the primary focus.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

Foreign currency holders should monitor the continued development of tokenized financial infrastructure because it may reshape how international payments, settlements, and cross-border liquidity operate in the years ahead. While today's report does not directly affect currency valuations, it reflects the ongoing modernization of the global financial system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 2 – Trade

The expansion of tokenized cross-border payment systems could reduce settlement times, lower transaction costs, and improve the efficiency of international commerce.

• Pillar 4 – Technology

The BIS continues to support tokenization and programmable financial infrastructure as foundational technologies for the next generation of regulated global financial markets.

This is not just about digital assets—it reflects how central banks and global financial institutions are redesigning the infrastructure that could support faster payments, tokenized assets, and more efficient international finance for decades to come.

Iraq Dinar Sitrep: Preparation For The Market Economy (I Think You Will Like This Update)

Are You Ready To Dive In?

The Central Bank of Iraq’s moves full reintegration of dollar banks under tighter oversight, mandatory ASYCUDA electronic customs declarations kicking in hard around July 10 are choking those old loopholes.

No more paper invoices sliding through borders unchecked. Revenue’s already spiking in some reports, smuggling routes drying up, and that forces real domestic velocity.

Non-oil pushes from Saleh aren’t slogans; they’re the pivot away from the oil rentier trap that kept Baghdad hooked on external flows and vulnerable to manipulation.

Targeting that GDP non-oil lift toward 55% means agriculture ramps, industrial reactivation, private SME financing that actually sticks all building a base where a credible exchange rate can hold without constant central bank props. And this is where all of your patience is paying off people.

Think about this for a second if you wil. Imagine your local currency market where dollars traded at a fat premium because everyone distrusted the system. Now the official channels tighten, customs go digital, and people start parking more in dinar because the local economy shows signs of breathing on its own. That’s the precursor.

A market-oriented Iraq doesn’t need the old suppressed auction theater; it needs a rate that reflects actual trade muscle for direct dealings with partners like the US.

This parallel squeeze pairs with budget restructuring that’s ditching the old 1/12 monthly placeholders for real 2027 planning. Zaidi’s team is using the breathing room to align fiscal policy for non-oil revenue targets that make Iraq less of a petro-pawn.

Think grain purchases above global prices, factory fuel/tech imports, land allocations the kind of private sector incentives that absorb labor and build internal resilience.

The old cabal-adjacent networks loved the dollar auction casino because it funneled liquidity their way. Choking it starves those veins while prepping Iraq for Forex-level credibility. This couldn’t have happened at a better time folks.
