Reset Intelligence: 23 Years in Baghdad

7-21-2026

23 Years in Baghdad

By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT

On Saturday the Central Bank of Iraq and the US Treasury reached an understanding. 7 Iraqi banks that had been shut out of the world’s payment system were let back toward it.

The headline that ran everywhere said they were cleared for dollar transactions. They were not. The Arabic in the statement excludes the dollar by name.

The moves on the record

• 7 banks readmitted – to external correspondent channels in currencies other than the dollar. Dollar eligibility is a second phase, conditional on finishing the central bank’s re-licensing programme. No date was attached by anyone.

• 48 agreements – signed during the Washington visit, announced Saturday. The Iraqi prime minister’s office counted 48. The summit host counted more than 50. Initial value above $60 billion.

• A JPMorgan branch – the prime minister’s office announced an agreement to open one in Iraq, to finance American company projects.

• 9 ministries – still have nobody sitting in them. Parliament has not voted on them since the recess ended on 1 July.

• FATF – Iraq remains on the list of jurisdictions under increased monitoring, added 19 June. Nothing about that can change before the October plenary.

That is the short version, and it is the version everyone has.

The part nobody connected

On 14 July 2003 the Coalition Provisional Authority signed Order Number 20 and created the Trade Bank of Iraq. That August, JPMorgan Chase won the contract to run it, beating consortia led by Citigroup, Bank of America, Wachovia and Bank One. No source we can find states the arrangement ever ended.

The bank being reported as arriving in Iraq has been clearing Iraqi trade paper for 23 years.

Today’s briefing walks the whole thing. What Order Number 20 actually says in plain text. Why the fee was never the point. The 2 earlier occasions the same house did the same thing when a state’s money stopped working. And what all of it means for the rate.

‍Good Morning Dinar Recaps,

Central Banks Balance Inflation Risks as Digital Currency Plans Continue to Advance

The European Central Bank is weighing inflation pressures alongside continued progress on the digital euro, highlighting how monetary policy and financial innovation are reshaping the global financial system.

Overview

• The European Central Bank is expected to keep interest rates steady while monitoring renewed inflation risks tied to higher energy prices.

• Officials are also reviewing progress on the digital euro, reflecting Europe's long-term effort to modernize its payment infrastructure.

• The combination of monetary policy and digital finance underscores the ongoing transformation of the global financial system.

Key Developments

1. ECB Balances Inflation With Economic Stability

The European Central Bank enters its latest policy meeting facing two competing challenges: maintaining price stability while avoiding unnecessary pressure on economic growth.

Although inflation has eased from previous highs, policymakers remain cautious as energy markets continue reacting to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Higher oil and natural gas prices could slow progress toward the ECB's long-term inflation objective.

2. Digital Euro Project Continues Moving Forward

Alongside interest-rate discussions, ECB officials are reviewing continued progress on the digital euro initiative.

The project is designed to provide a secure digital form of central bank money that complements cash while supporting Europe's payment infrastructure in an increasingly digital economy. Officials continue to emphasize that the digital euro is intended to improve payment efficiency while preserving financial stability.

3. Energy Markets Continue Influencing Monetary Policy

Recent volatility in global energy markets has reminded policymakers that geopolitical events remain an important driver of inflation.

Central banks are closely monitoring how energy prices affect transportation costs, manufacturing, food production, and overall consumer prices before making additional monetary policy decisions.

4. Financial Modernization Continues Worldwide

The ECB's discussions illustrate a broader trend taking place across many major economies.

While central banks remain focused on controlling inflation today, they are also investing in the payment systems, settlement infrastructure, and digital technologies expected to support tomorrow's financial system.

Why It Matters

Central banks are managing two historic transitions simultaneously: maintaining economic stability in an uncertain geopolitical environment while modernizing the financial infrastructure that supports global commerce.

The decisions made today will influence interest rates, payment systems, banking innovation, and the future direction of international finance for years to come.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, central bank policy remains one of the strongest long-term influences on currency values. At the same time, continued development of digital payment infrastructure demonstrates how global finance is evolving toward faster, more efficient cross-border transactions.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Debt

Interest-rate policy directly affects sovereign borrowing costs, debt servicing, and overall financial stability throughout the global economy.

• Pillar 4: Technology

The continued development of the digital euro reflects the modernization of payment systems and digital financial infrastructure that could reshape international commerce over the coming decade.

Future Outlook

Markets will closely watch the ECB's policy announcement and any guidance regarding future interest-rate decisions. Investors will also monitor further progress on the digital euro as Europe continues developing its long-term digital payments strategy.

As central banks around the world balance inflation, financial stability, and technological innovation, today's policy decisions are helping shape the architecture of tomorrow's international monetary system.

This is not simply about interest rates—it reflects the broader transformation of the global financial system as central banks modernize monetary policy, payment infrastructure, and digital finance for the next generation of global commerce.

🌱 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 Wednesday Morning 7-22-26

The Hand That Will Disarm The Factions Is Not Iraqi… Middle East Monitor: US Special Operations May Target Factions Refusing To Surrender Their Weapons - 7/22/2026

Baghdad - One News - 7/22/2026 The British website Middle East Monitor said that Iraq is facing a pivotal stage that could reshape its political, security and economic reality, in light of simultaneous American moves aimed at ending the issue of armed factions, reducing Iranian influence and rearranging the American presence in the country.  

The website stated, in an analytical report, that September 30th represents the date on which all armed factions are supposed to be dissolved and hand over their weapons to the state, coinciding with the withdrawal of US combat forces from Iraq, with the exception of Erbil, which the report considered Washington to be determined to maintain its presence in due to its strategic importance, to monitor Iran, as well as to maintain the Kurdistan Region’s connection with the United States.  

The report added that the United States, in addition to its military influence, relies on extensive financial and economic leverage. It explained that approximately 90% of Iraq's budget revenues come from oil proceeds deposited in an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, which, according to the report, gives Washington significant power to influence Iraqi financial decisions.

The report also noted that Washington froze approximately $500 million of Iraqi funds last April, a move described by a Kurdish official as the "nuclear option" available to the US Treasury Department.  

The website noted that US envoy Thomas Barak has become the central figure in managing the Iraqi file, considering that his main mission is to dismantle the armed factions and separate Iraq from Iranian influence, based on an American vision that considers that Iraq, during the past two decades, has constituted an economic outlet for Tehran to circumvent international sanctions.  

The report indicated that some factions have already agreed to place their weapons under the authority of the state, while the factions closest to Iran still refuse to do so, noting that Washington has threatened to continue sanctions and military operations against those who do not comply with the specified deadline.  

The report also addressed the anti-corruption campaign in Iraq, noting that the recent security and judicial measures, which included the arrest of 47 people, including 12 members of parliament, may expand to include senior officials, former prime ministers, and faction leaders, in conjunction with the freezing of financial assets. The report emphasized that corruption has cost the Iraqi economy, according to the report, about $776 billion since 2003.  

In a regional context, Middle East Monitor considered that what is known as the "Shia Crescent," extending from Iran through Iraq and Syria to Lebanon, is undergoing a gradual reshaping, pointing to the transformations witnessed in Syria, the pressures imposed on Iran, and the ongoing developments in Lebanon, culminating in Iraq, which it described as the final link in this trajectory. https://1news-iq.net/اليد-التي-ستنزع-سلاح-الفصائل-ليست-عراق/

Iraqi MP Urges Corruption Probe After Audit Report

2026-07-21 / 10:11 Shafaq News- Baghdad   The Federal Board of Supreme Audit’s 2025 report is “late and incomplete,” an Iraqi lawmaker said on Tuesday, arguing that it failed to quantify financial losses or identify those responsible for corruption. ( https://shafaq.com/en/Iraq/Iraqi-MP-urges-corruption-probe-after-audit-report. )  

Miqdad Al-Khafaji, an MP from the Hoqooq parliamentary bloc, within the Shiite Coordination Framework, told Shafaq News that board officials offered “unconvincing” explanations during Tuesday’s parliamentary session.  

He urged the Federal Commission of Integrity to investigate cases lawmakers believe have cost Iraq billions of dollars over recent years.  

Earlier today, the Federal Board of Supreme Audit’s report, obtained by Shafaq News, identified major delays in resolving corruption cases, failures to exercise key legal powers, and widespread financial violations across several government sectors. https://shafaq.com/en/Iraq/Iraqi-MP-urges-corruption-probe-after-audit-report

Central Bank Governor Discusses Development Of Electronic Payment

An expanded meeting was held, chaired by His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, which included licensed electronic payment companies in Iraq, to enhance its role in supporting digital transformation and implementing the Central Bank’s strategy aimed at developing the electronic payments system and promoting financial inclusion.

His Excellency the Governor stressed that the next stage requires electronic payment companies to raise the level of services provided to beneficiaries, and to adhere to the highest standards of quality, efficiency and reliability, in order to enhance citizens’ confidence in using electronic payment methods, encourage the expansion of adopting digital payment solutions, and contribute to reducing reliance on cash and promoting the digital economy.

He stressed the importance of electronic payment companies adhering to international standards, especially with regard to foreign financial transactions and operations, to provide broader opportunities for developing the sector, including increasing card usage limits and adding new financial services and products that meet citizens’ needs and keep pace with global developments.

The meeting also discussed the joint instructions and procedures that the Central Bank of Iraq will work with electronic payment companies to implement in order to reduce card misuse, enhance the safety and efficiency of the payment system, raise operational limits, and open new horizons for providing innovative and advanced services to citizens.

The governor called for the importance of strengthening cooperation and coordination between electronic payment companies, which would contribute to expanding the network for accepting electronic cards, developing collection and processing services, as well as strengthening the partnership with banks licensed by the Central Bank of Iraq, in order to achieve integration between the various parties of the financial sector, to develop a modern, secure and advanced payment system that is in line with best practices and international standards.

The Prime Minister's Advisor Clarifies The Borrowing Law: Will It Replace The Budget?

2026-07-21 | Alsumaria News- Economy: The Prime Minister's financial advisor confirmed,Mazhar Muhammad Salih On Tuesday, he said that the adoption of the borrowing and grants law is a temporary measure to ensure the continuation of spending until the budget is approved, and does not represent a permanent alternative to the general budget, while he pointed out that the volatility of oil prices and the expansion of the size of expenditures reinforce the need to borrow to cover the deficit and secure the necessary financing.

Saleh said in a statement to the official news agency, which was followed by Alsumaria News He said: “If the borrowing and grants law is adopted as an alternative to the budget law, the government will resort to a temporary financing mechanism that will allow it to continue to cover basic expenses and meet its financial obligations until the general budget is approved.”

He pointed out that "Asylum This option, instead of passing the budget law, is often linked to budget delays and the resulting lack of legal cover for government spending, which compels the government to seek temporary financing tools to ensure the continued payment of salaries and funding.public services"

And to fulfill urgent financial obligations," he explained, adding that "weak liquidity or a decline in public revenues, especially given the volatility of oil prices and the expansion of expenditures, may be an additional factor that reinforces the need for borrowing to cover the deficit and secure the necessary financing."

He further stated that "adopting the borrowing and grants law is not a permanent alternative to the budget, but rather an exceptional and temporary measure aimed at ensuring the continued operation of state institutions until the completion of the constitutional and legislative procedures for approving the general budget."

Why Britain's New Marxist Leader Suddenly Loves Oil

Why Britain's New Marxist Leader Suddenly Loves Oil

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) July 21, 2026

On November 27th in the year 176 AD, Marcus Aurelius promoted his 15-year old biological son Commodus to be Co-emperor of Rome.    Marcus Aurelius never realized it, but he was sealing Rome’s fate… and essentially marking an end to the Empire’s golden age.

Commodus was quite popular in his youth— reportedly handsome, athletic, and gregarious. But after Marcus Aurelius died a few years later, the popularity and support that Commodus had enjoyed for so long began to wane.

 It didn’t help that he heavily debased Rome’s currency, contributing to widespread inflation and economic decline. He spent lavishly at taxpayer expense, ignored even the most basic affairs of imperial administration, and murdered his enemies.

 Finally, on New Year’s Eve in 192 AD, Commodus was assassinated, kicking off a period of political instability in which five different men would sit on the throne in a single year; in fact 193 AD became known as the Year of the Five Emperors.

 Eventually Rome landed on Septimius Severus, who ruled for nearly two decades with an iron fist. His reign— though stable— is regarded as one of the cruelest in Roman history. And he, too, contributed immensely to inflation and rising taxes.

 His successor, Caracalla, ruled briefly and incompetently. Soon came Elagabalus— history’s first transgender emperor who promised to give away half of the empire to any physician who could turn him into a woman.

 Along the way the infamous “Crisis of the Third Century” became worse and worse: migrant invasions, economic depression, hyperinflation, plague, and unprecedented political instability— including the year 238 AD in which six different men claimed the title of Emperor.

 It was as if Rome lost the ability to produce a decent, capable leader anymore.

 I thought of this historical lesson yesterday morning watching Andy Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester, become Britain's seventh prime minister in a decade.

That’s an unprecedented level of instability for a modern, major power. Even worse, Britain’s leaders have become more incompetent over time, each one chipping away at the country’s economy and social stability.

Liz Truss lasted just 49 days, the shortest tenure of any prime minister in British history. Her plan for £45 billion in unfunded tax cuts set off a panic in the bond market, launching the pound into freefall.

And government borrowing costs spiked so violently as a result of Ms. Truss that the Bank of England had to step in to prevent British pension funds from collapsing.

Prior to Truss was Boris Johnson— a one-man scandal machine who was fined for quite hypocritically throwing big parties in Downing Street during his own COVID lockdowns.

Then came Rishi Sunak, who threw Britain's doors wide open to immigration. Sunak seemingly woke up every morning and said: Give me more Somalis. Give me more Islamic terrorists.

Along the way, Britain imported some of the worst ideas of the American Left and made them its own.

Britain is now the wokest place on the planet, and to an Orwellian standard; British police arrest people over tweets, and the England flag itself is now treated as a symbol of racism.

To cap it all off, Sunak was succeeded by Keir Starmer, probably the worst leader of a major power in modern history— and that includes Joe Biden.

When Parliament took up a national inquiry into the grooming gangs that had raped thousands of English girls over decades while local officials looked away, Starmer's party voted it down, and Starmer dismissed the calls as "the bandwagon [of] the far right."

Starmer spent his tenure finishing off the oil industry, taking the headline tax rate on North Sea producers to 78% and banning new exploration licenses.

By the time Starmer resigned last month, the UK had a tax burden heading to its highest level since records began in 1948. Borrowing costs are higher than any other major economy, with 10-year government bond yields well above those in the US, France, Germany, and Japan.

Plus, wealthy Brits are heading for the exits in record numbers after Starmer abolished the centuries-old non-dom tax regime.

Starmer was so widely despised that his own party finally threw him out. Their solution? A slightly younger, slightly less vapid version of Starmer.

His name is Andy Burnham, and all of his ideas come straight from the Communist Manifesto.

In his opening remarks as prime minister, Burnham said not one word about the national debt or Britain's borrowing costs. Nothing about the migration crisis. Nothing about justice for the grooming gang victims. Nothing about turning the economy around.

His first order of business, Burnham announced, was taking care of homeless/migrants with a new £340 million benefit program.

To his credit, Burnham has sense enough to know that he cannot throw around that kind of money without a way to pay for it. Borrowing more money is out; in fact he spent the past year complaining that Britain must get beyond "being in hock to the bond markets."

That only means one thing: higher taxes.

So, days before taking office, his team began preparing approvals for two North Sea oil and gas fields— the same ones that his own party spent years trying to shut down.

This is not because Burnham suddenly cares about energy security. He’s just looking for more money to steal.

All of those homeless migrants need handouts, so Burnham needs a new revenue stream, i.e. something else to tax.

So he’s allowing two new North Sea fields— with the existing 78% rate in place.

In short, Burnham did not decide that energy matters. He decided it hasn’t been milked entirely dry yet.

This is a cannibalist mentality. Britain is sliding into its own Crisis of the 21st Century, and the "conservative" politicians who presided over the first half of the decline were anything but. Starmer and now Burnham are straight-up Marxists.

We wrote about Argentina just yesterday, where nearly every asset in the country is surging. It’s not hard to understand why: Argentina hit rock bottom, threw out the people who destroyed the  country, and started climbing under new leadership.

Britain can reverse its fortunes the same way. Unfortunately, it is probably going to have to hit rock bottom first. And we can already see the shape of how this ends.

First the money will run out, the benefits will be cut, and the people who came for free stuff will go home.

Then, with markets in the dumps, this highly educated and productive country will eventually reverse all of its idiotic policies from the past and one day become among the most interesting places in the world to invest.

There’s an old saying credited to a Rothschild about investing when there’s “blood in the streets.” He may turn out to be right. But he probably wasn't picturing London when he said it.

Iraq, Vietnam & Zimbabwe: Why September 30 Could Be So Important | Mark Z

Iraq, Vietnam & Zimbabwe: Why September 30 Could Be So Important | Mark Z

 Jon Dowling & Chris Real World : 7-21-2026

In a recent and deeply insightful conversation between Jon Dowling and seasoned podcaster MarkZ, the focus shifted toward the seismic shifts currently occurring in the world of international finance.

As global markets face unprecedented volatility, many are looking toward a “Global Financial Reset”—a transition that promises to redefine how nations value their currencies and conduct trade. The dialogue explored the intricate web of geopolitical, technological, and spiritual factors that are converging to facilitate what many believe is an imminent economic transformation.

A primary driver of this financial evolution is the extraordinary level of diplomatic activity spanning from Geneva to the Middle East.

MarkZ points out that we are witnessing an unprecedented alignment of international interests focused on settling long-standing military and financial conflicts. This global push for disarmament and stabilization is a necessary precursor to economic reform.

As political and security barriers diminish, the road clears for trade normalization, allowing nations previously hindered by conflict to reintegrate into the global economy through currency revaluations.

One of the most concrete signs of this transition is the modernization of financial “rails” in emerging markets.

 Iraq’s Central Bank is currently leading a significant push toward digital payment transformation.

By engaging electronic payment firms and enforcing modern cross-border standards—including the integration of sophisticated blockchain protocols—Iraq is positioning its financial system to meet international compliance frameworks.

This infrastructure is not just about convenience; it is a vital tool for preventing fraud and ensuring that large-scale currency exchanges can occur within a secure, transparent environment.

The conversation also highlighted the importance of accountability in the reset process.

 Iraqi officials have established firm deadlines—most notably a September 30th “back wall”—to end corruption proxies and finalize fiscal reforms.

Interestingly, this date aligns closely with the start of the new fiscal year in many Western financial systems. This synchronicity suggests a coordinated effort to launch a systemic reset, ensuring that new financial models are built on a foundation of transparency rather than the opaque practices of the past.

While much focus remains on Iraq, Vietnam is emerging as another cornerstone of regional economic revaluation.

With a GDP growth rate nearing 7% and a strategic pivot toward more open trade policies, Vietnam’s economic strategy appears to be moving in tandem with global reset efforts.

The discussion suggests a phased approach where the revaluation of the Vietnamese Dong may follow or coincide with other major currency shifts. This allows for a more stable integration of Southeast Asian markets into the new global financial architecture.

A critical component of this reset is the movement away from debt-based fiat systems toward asset-backed models.

The repositioning of gold assets is a major indicator of this shift. From Venezuela’s efforts to reclaim gold from the Bank of England to the recovery of assets from corrupt officials worldwide, the trend toward legitimizing currency through tangible value is clear.

This transition to a gold-backed or asset-backed system is essential for restoring confidence in global currencies and ensuring the long-term viability of the new economic order.

Beyond the mechanics of finance, both Jon Dowling and MarkZ emphasized the human element of this transformation. They argue that the success of a financial reset depends largely on the “readiness of hearts” and the commitment to responsible stewardship.

By framing these changes within a context of humanitarian purpose and community building, the dialogue encourages individuals to look beyond personal gain. The goal is to foster a sense of responsibility, ensuring that forthcoming economic blessings are used to create a positive, lasting impact on a global scale.

As the world stands on the precipice of these historic changes, the message remains one of patience, faith, and diligent preparation.

For those looking to dive deeper into these developments, the full conversation between Jon Dowling and MarkZ provides a wealth of information on the future of our global economy.

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Washington, Frankfurt, and the IMF Signal Cautious Path as Central Banks Balance Inflation and Global Risks

Central banks are increasingly emphasizing financial stability, inflation control, and policy credibility as geopolitical tensions reshape the global economy and influence future monetary decisions.

Overview

• Major central banks continue to prioritize inflation control despite heightened geopolitical uncertainty and energy market volatility.

• The IMF is urging governments to maintain credible fiscal and monetary policies as the global economy navigates repeated external shocks.

• Markets are increasingly focused on interest-rate expectations, recognizing that monetary policy remains a key driver of global financial stability.

Key Developments

1. Central Banks Maintain a Cautious Policy Stance

The European Central Bank (ECB) is expected to keep interest rates steady while closely monitoring the effects of higher energy prices stemming from Middle East tensions. Policymakers remain cautious as inflation risks persist despite recent moderation in price pressures.

2. IMF Calls for Credible Monetary Policy

The International Monetary Fund warned that today's economic environment requires governments to maintain price stability, sound fiscal policy, and financial credibility. IMF officials noted that repeated global shocks—including inflation, geopolitical conflict, debt pressures, and technological change—have made economic forecasting increasingly difficult.

3. Energy Risks Continue to Influence Inflation

Although oil prices have eased from recent highs, policymakers remain concerned that prolonged disruptions to global energy supplies could create secondary inflation effects, particularly through transportation, manufacturing, fertilizer production, and food prices.

4. Financial Stability Remains the Primary Objective

Central banks are balancing the need to support economic growth while ensuring inflation expectations remain anchored. Officials continue to stress that maintaining confidence in monetary policy is essential as governments navigate an increasingly uncertain global environment.

Why It Matters

Interest-rate policy influences nearly every sector of the global economy—from government borrowing and banking to mortgages, business investment, and international capital flows. Decisions made by major central banks help determine the direction of global liquidity and financial stability.

Why It Matters to Foreign Currency Holders

For foreign currency holders, monetary policy remains one of the most important long-term drivers of currency values. Stable inflation, credible central banks, and disciplined fiscal policies contribute to stronger confidence in national currencies and the broader international monetary system.

Implications for the Global Reset

• Pillar 1: Debt

Higher interest rates increase borrowing costs for governments, businesses, and consumers while influencing global debt sustainability and fiscal policy.

• Pillar 2: Trade

Inflation, energy prices, and monetary policy directly affect international trade, investment flows, and global economic growth.

Future Outlook

Markets will closely monitor upcoming policy meetings from major central banks, along with new inflation and employment data that could influence future interest-rate decisions. Continued geopolitical uncertainty—particularly surrounding energy supplies—will remain a significant factor shaping monetary policy in the months ahead.

As governments adapt to a world characterized by higher debt levels, technological transformation, and shifting geopolitical alliances, central bank credibility will remain one of the most important anchors supporting the global financial system.

This is not simply about interest rates—it reflects the broader transformation of the global financial system as central banks balance inflation, financial stability, and geopolitical uncertainty in an increasingly interconnected world.

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Tuesday Evening 7-21-26

Sudani Referred 38,000 Reports To The Integrity Commission And Five Ministers To The Judiciary. The Ministry Of Reconstruction And Development Stated That Al-Zidi Possesses A Broader Political Mandate For Dismissal And Accountability

latest newsTuesday,July 21, 2026Baghdad - One News - 7/21/2026   The Reconstruction and Development Coalition highlighted what it described as the difference in the political environment in which the previous and current governments operated, considering that the executive authority’s ability to proceed with anti-corruption files is not only related to legal procedures, but also to the extent of the political cover available for making decisions on dismissal and accountability.

Coalition spokesman Firas al-Muslawi said that former Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani referred about 38,000 reports to the Integrity Commission, and also referred five ministers from his government to the judiciary, as part of measures aimed at pursuing corruption cases and subjecting them to the judicial process.

 Al-Muslawi believed that these measures were implemented under a complex political equation that, as he described it, prevented the Sudanese government from having sufficient political cover to make decisions to dismiss ministers or expand the scope of accountability within the ministerial formation, despite proceeding to refer a number of files to regulatory and judicial authorities.

  In contrast, he argued that Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government operates in different political circumstances, explaining that it enjoys a mandate and political support that give it more room to make direct executive decisions, including dismissing ministers or referring them to the judiciary whenever legal justifications are available.

 He pointed out that this political cover gives the current government greater ability to turn the anti-corruption slogan into executive measures, away from the constraints that political balances imposed on previous governments, thus allowing it to proceed with holding officials accountable, regardless of their positions, in accordance with legal and constitutional frameworks.

  Al-Muslawi's statements come at a time when the current government is continuing its anti-corruption campaign, which has included opening investigation files, referring officials to the judiciary, and taking measures that the government says aim to establish the principle of no impunity and enhance public confidence in state institutions.

Central Bank Of Iraq Outlines Roadmap To Reduce Cash Reliance And Expand Digital Services

Mohammed Jangadost   The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) held an expanded meeting on Tuesday with licensed electronic payment providers to accelerate the nation’s digital financial transformation, strengthen financial inclusion, and curb card misuse.

Chaired by CBI Governor Nizar Nasser Hussein, the meeting centered on executing the regulator’s strategic roadmap to modernize Iraq’s payment ecosystem and transition away from a cash-heavy economy.

Addressing representatives from the sector, Al-Alaq stated that the upcoming phase demands a noticeable increase in service quality, efficiency, and system reliability to build public trust in digital transactions.

Key Objectives and Strategic Focus

During the session, the central bank outlined several operational and regulatory priorities:

• Compliance with Global Standards: The CBI urged payment firms to adhere strictly to international frameworks, particularly regarding cross-border financial transactions. Compliance is expected to enable higher card transaction limits and facilitate the rollout of new financial products.

• Countering Card Misuse: Regulators and payment companies discussed joint enforcement procedures to prevent card misuse and enhance payment network security.

• Expanding Acceptance Networks: Al-Alaq called on providers to expand POS (Point-of-Sale) acceptance networks, streamline digital collection processes, and deepen integration with licensed commercial banks.

The initiative comes as part of broader government efforts to modernize the national economy, reduce cash dependency, and implement modern financial infrastructure across both the public and private sectors.   https://channel8.com/english/news/61771

Every Asset In Argentina Is Surging Higher... Except The Apartments

Every Asset In Argentina Is Surging Higher... Except The Apartments

Notes From the field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) July 20, 2026

If you have a budget of $179,000 to spend on real estate in the United States, I hope you like renovated sheds. Or a six-hour drive to the nearest airport.

But right now, $179,000 buys a typical three-room apartment in Buenos Aires, the "Paris of South America" (minus the Islamic terrorists).

Studio apartments in Argentina's capital are going for $108,000. All of it is quoted and paid in US dollars, because Argentina's property market gave up on their local currency for real estate transactions a long time ago.

But this is arguably the last cheap sector of Argentina. Prices of every other asset have gone up dramatically thanks to country’s general economic recovery; ever since President Milei was elected, he has slashed government spending and delivered the country's first budget surplus in over a decade. The stock market has surged. Every asset is up. Except for apartments.

Remember, a century ago, Argentina was one of the ten richest countries in the world; its people were better off per capita than the French or Germans.

Then came Juan Perón. Elected in 1946, he nationalized everything— railways, utilities, etc. He regulated wages and prices. It was full-blown command socialism.

Perón was thrown out in 1955, but the machine he built outlived him by seventy years. He had created a permanent bloc of voters— paid by the state— and every government that tried to cut spending found out it could not survive doing so. So they printed money instead.

That is where the price controls, the capital controls, the repeated defaults, and the chronic inflation all came from.

Milei took office at the end of 2023 and started taking the machine apart. He cut the number of federal ministries in half and fired tens of thousands of government employees. He scrapped the price controls and stopped the central bank from printing money to cover the government's bills.

It hurt. Poverty jumped before it came down, and real wages fell before they recovered.

The month Milei took office, prices rose 25.5%. That was the MONTHLY inflation figure, not the annual one. By June 2026, monthly inflation was down to 1.9%.

To be clear, that is still astronomical by North American or European standards. Argentina is still a high-inflation country. But they’ve come a long way in bringing inflation down, and the country is no longer collapsing. There’s clearly a light at the end of the tunnel.

And it got there using the same playbook every country that climbed out of a hole this deep has run.

For example, in 1965 Singapore was an impoverished backwater with no resources and a third of its population squatting in slums. Lee Kuan Yew cut the tariffs, kept taxes low, and threw the doors open to foreign companies. Today Singapore produces more than $90,000 per person— more than the United States.

No country is permanently rich, and no country is permanently poor. For the first time in a very long time, Argentina is heading the right direction.

Foreign capital has noticed. Under a new incentive regime, companies have launched roughly $95 billion of projects. The state oil company YPF filed a $25 billion shale development in Vaca Muerta in May, and Chevron committed more than $10 billion to the same basin.

Companies do not pour concrete and steel into countries they expect to collapse.

The financial markets repriced accordingly. Argentine stocks have run hard, and the main US-listed Argentina fund is up more than 230% over five years.

After a run like that, you could argue the stocks are no longer even cheap. Even the bonds have moved: the extra interest Argentina must pay to borrow compared to US government bonds fell in July to its lowest level in eight years.

Which brings us back to that $179,000. The citywide Buenos Aires apartment index rose just 1.6% over the past twelve months. And that’s in US dollars.

In other words, every asset in Argentina has repriced, but the apartments aren’t even keeping pace with inflation.

The reason is credit, or rather the total absence of it; nine out of ten home purchases in Buenos Aires are paid in cash, without a mortgage.

And prices settle at whatever buyers can pay in cash.

The same condition holds across much of Latin America, and Colombia shows where it leads. Only around 3% of Colombian adults carry a mortgage, so prices sat at cash levels there too.

Then foreigners discovered Medellín. Buyers from North America and Europe arrived with money and bought apartments that looked absurdly cheap to them. In El Poblado, the neighborhood the expats favor, prices have jumped 66% in three years.

We think the same thing is going to happen in Argentina, with a bigger catalyst behind it, because the country is becoming an investment destination and an expat destination at once. It happened in Medellín, Mexico City, and other places in Latin America. It’s basic supply and demand.

There is still risk— Argentines vote again on October 24, 2027... so if Milei’s political movement  collapses, the country could return to its old ways. But that’s pretty much the same anywhere. Every country carries risk.

For example, I doubt anyone is rushing to buy British assets right now. Britain's finances and politics have genuinely deteriorated, and its government now pays close to 6% to borrow money, the most since 1998.

Now that Marxist Andy Burnham has taken over as Prime Minister as of this morning, the situation will likely get worse before it gets better. At some point Britain will get cheap enough that its stocks and bonds become attractive again. But today is not that day.

And American assets are no automatic refuge either. Just wait and see what happens if Gavin Newsom gets the chance to do to the whole country what he did to California.

Argentina, at least, pays you to take its risk. The apartments are cheap, and the catalyst pushing them up is already arriving.

It is also a serious Plan B destination. Living there costs roughly half of what it does in the United States, and it draws far fewer foreigners than the places everyone has already found.

Our flagship service, Plan B Confidential, just published a full report on Argentine real estate, covering which neighborhoods hold their value, how to move money in and out, and where residency and citizenship stand.

Dr. Scott Young: The Dollar is Collapsing, here’s the Proof. Why is the Treasury bringing out a new $100 Bill right now?

Dr. Scott Young: The Dollar is Collapsing, here’s the Proof. Why is the Treasury bringing out a new $100 Bill right now?

7-21-2026

The global financial system is standing on a precipice. For decades, the world has operated on a system of “fiat” money—currency backed by nothing more than government promises and public trust. But as inflation climbs, national debt skyrockets, and geopolitical alliances shift, that trust is rapidly eroding.

In a recent eye-opening video, financial analyst and commentator Dr. Scott Young took a deep dive into the current turmoil brewing within the U.S. Treasury. From the mystery surrounding Fort Knox to the whispers of a new gold-backed currency initiative, Dr. Young paints a compelling picture of a monetary system in transition.

Are we witnessing the death throes of the U.S. Dollar as we know it? And more importantly, how can everyday people survive—and thrive—during the transition? Let’s explore the critical insights from Dr. Scott Young’s analysis.

To understand where the global economy is going, we must first understand how we got here. Money was not always an abstract concept printed out of thin air.

The Gold and Silver Standards: For the majority of American history, the U.S. Dollar was directly tied to tangible wealth. Under the gold and silver standards, paper bills were simply “certificates of deposit” representing physical metal held in safekeeping. You could walk into a bank, hand over a paper bill, and walk out with physical gold or silver coin.

The 1971 Nixon Shock: This all changed on August 15, 1971, when President Richard Nixon unilaterally ended the convertibility of the U.S. Dollar into gold. This temporarily suspended the Bretton Woods system, ushering in the era of pure fiat currency.

Historically, every fiat currency in human history has eventually failed, usually due to hyperinflation caused by governments printing too much money. Dr. Scott Young argues that the U.S. Dollar is rapidly approaching this inevitable historical d**d-end.

If the world is to transition back to a gold-backed economic system, a critical question must be answered: Where is the gold?

Without absolute transparency, the integrity of the U.S. Treasury’s reserves remains a massive question mark. If a new gold-backed system is on the horizon, proving the existence of these physical reserves will be the first step in restoring global trust.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Dr. Young’s analysis is the changing dynamic between the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve.

While many believe they are the same entity, they are vastly different. The Federal Reserve is a private banking cartel, while the Treasury is a department of the federal government. For decades, the Fed has held the reins of monetary policy. However, Dr. Young highlights several unusual anomalies pointing to a potential power shift:

Dr. Young critiques highly confusing and contradictory statements from Treasury officials regarding upcoming currency designs. Most notably, rumors and official hints have circulated regarding new currency prints featuring President Donald Trump’s signature—a highly irregular occurrence that defies traditional bipartisan presidential decorum.

Historically, the Fed dictates monetary policy, and the Treasury simply prints the bills. However, recent administrative moves suggest the Treasury may be asserting authority over the Federal Reserve. Could this be a controlled demolition of the Fed’s private banking system to make way for a state-controlled, asset-backed alternative?

As the fiat system crumbles, what will replace it? Dr. Young points to two major pillars of the future economy: Asset-backing and Blockchain technology.

There are growing murmurs of a new currency initiative designed to bypass the debt-laden Federal Reserve Note. This new system would be anchored to commodities—specifically gold and silver—to immediately establish trust and halt the devastating effects of inflation.

One of the greatest drivers of the current economic crisis is unchecked, untraceable government spending. Dr. Young touches on a revolutionary solution: migrating federal spending to a public blockchain ledger.

If a systemic reset is imminent, holding your wealth entirely in fiat currency (cash in the bank, traditional savings accounts, or digital dollar investments) presents a massive risk. When fiat money collapses, its purchasing power vanishes.

Dr. Scott Young strongly urges viewers to take matters into their own hands by diversifying into precious metals.

By acquiring physical gold and silver, you are not just buying “commodities”—you are purchasing financial insurance against the collapse of a volatile monetary system.

We are living through a historic economic transition. The decisions made by the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve over the coming months will shape the financial reality for generations to come.

Are you prepared for the end of the fiat era?
