The 50 And 100 Dinar Denominations Will Return With The Change Of Currency
Sunday, economic expert Mustafa Hantoush expected that the 50 and 100 dinar denominations would return to circulation if the currency change continued, indicating the possibility of issuing new monetary denominations with stronger security specifications .
Hantoush said, in a televised interview followed by Al Saa'a Network, that "the Central Bank may issue a new currency with advanced security specifications, with the possibility of offering monetary denominations of less than 250 dinars, such as 100 fils".
He added, "The Central Bank may move to issue denominations of 50 and 100 dinars in the next stage", indicating that "returning these denominations may contribute to supporting the currency and strengthening the position of the Central Bank".
He explained that "the Central Bank has not made a final decision on this step, while the government is working to form a committee to study the issue, pending the completion of the procedures related to it within the House of Representatives."
A "Major Shift" In The Relationship Between Baghdad And Washington... The US Chargé d'Affaires: Al-Zaidi's Visit Resulted In Agreements Worth $60 Billion, And Trump Looks Forward To A Fruitful Partnership With Iraq - 9/12/2026
Baghdad - One News - 9/12/2026 The US Chargé d'Affaires in Iraq, Steven Fagin, affirmed that relations between Baghdad and Washington are on the cusp of a new phase of development and transformation, coinciding with the expansion of economic and trade opportunities between the two countries and the move towards building a partnership based on achieving tangible results and common interests.

Al-Zaidi Oversees The Signing Of A Contract To Develop And Operate The Ajil Oil Field For 25 Years And Increase Its Oil And Gas Production
Baghdad - One News - 9/12/2026 Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi oversaw the signing ceremony on Saturday of a contract to develop and operate the Ajil oil field between the North Oil Company and the company “Kipt”, as part of the government’s plans to increase oil and gas production and maximize the benefit from the country’s hydrocarbon resources.
The contract extends for 25 years and aims to gradually increase production rates in the field, particularly gas production, which is scheduled to increase from about 135 million standard cubic feet per day to 300 million standard cubic feet per day.
The contract also includes increasing the production of crude oil from the Ajil field from 30,000 barrels per day to 40,000 barrels per day, in parallel with developing investment operations for the gas produced from the field.
The project comes within the framework of the Ministry of Oil’s direction towards raising oil and gas production rates and making greater use of the resources of Iraqi fields, which enhances energy security and provides additional quantities of gas to support the electricity generation system and reduce the gap between local production and the increasing needs of the energy sector.
The development of the Ajil field is part of Iraq's efforts to expand investment in associated gas and domestic gas resources, in conjunction with plans to increase production and enhance the energy sector's ability to meet domestic demand.

Ajeel Field Targets 122% Increase In Gas Production
2026-09-12 15:55 Shafaq News- Saladin Iraq plans to more than double gas production at the Ajeel oil field in Saladin, from about 135 million to 300 million standard cubic feet per day, under a new 25-year development contract aimed at supplying more domestic fuel to power plants and industry.
Signed by the state-run North Oil Company and KEPT under the sponsorship of Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi, the contract also targets a gradual increase in crude output from around 30,000 to 40,000 barrels per day (bpd).
Deputy Oil Minister for Extraction Affairs Naseer Aziz told Shafaq News that reaching those levels will require integrating extraction with processing and transportation, including rehabilitating existing infrastructure and adding facilities where needed.
At full capacity, Ajeel would yield an extra 165 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, a 122% increase, alongside a 10,000-bpd rise in crude production.
Speaking to Shafaq News, Deputy Minister for Gas Affairs Izzat Saber Ismail said the new volumes could enter the national network to supply power plants and industrial users, with part of the output converted into liquefied petroleum gas and condensates.
Can Existing Infrastructure Handle the Increase?
Processing remains the main challenge. Aziz instructed the relevant authorities to conduct a technical study to determine whether facilities operated by the North Gas Company can absorb the projected volumes or need further development.
The findings will establish what upgrades are required to process and transport Ajeel’s gas, a key factor in realizing the field’s full economic potential.
The development forms part of Baghdad’s efforts to expand domestic energy supplies, curb imports, and capture associated gas that would otherwise be flared.

Beyond Crude Production
Economic expert Ali Khalil told Shafaq News that Ajeel could generate greater value by placing gas at the center of its development rather than treating it primarily as a byproduct of crude extraction. Output of 300 million standard cubic feet per day, he estimated, could make a significant contribution to Iraq’s energy supply if directed toward power generation and domestic industries.
Khalil cautioned, however, that the returns will depend on whether Iraq builds sufficient infrastructure to bring the extra gas and condensates into use.

HORMUZ SHIPPING HIT: NEW ATTACK THREATENS GLOBAL OIL FLOWS AS ENERGY SHOCK DEEPENS
Another vessel has reportedly been struck in the Strait of Hormuz as Saudi Arabia's oil pipeline remains shut, increasing concerns that the Middle East conflict could create a deeper and more persistent disruption to global energy supplies.

HORMUZ SHIPPING HIT: NEW ATTACK THREATENS GLOBAL OIL FLOWS AS ENERGY SHOCK DEEPENS
Another vessel has reportedly been struck in the Strait of Hormuz as Saudi Arabia's oil pipeline remains shut, increasing concerns that the Middle East conflict could create a deeper and more persistent disruption to global energy supplies.
OVERVIEW
A vessel was reportedly hit by a projectile while transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency, with the extent of damage and the status of the crew initially unclear. The incident adds another threat to one of the world's most important energy routes.
The attack follows Saudi Arabia's temporary shutdown of its East-West oil pipeline, an approximately 1,200-kilometer route capable of moving about 4–5 million barrels of crude per day while bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
Oil prices have moved above $100 a barrel as supply fears intensify, while the growing risks around Hormuz and the Red Sea raise concerns about transportation costs, inflation and the broader global economy.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. A New Attack Raises the Stakes in Hormuz
The latest development is a reported attack on a vessel traveling through the Strait of Hormuz.
The UKMTO reported that a projectile struck the vessel, causing a fire and prompting an evacuation of the crew. The full extent of the damage was not immediately known.
The incident is significant because shipping through the strait was already operating under severe restrictions following months of conflict.
Every additional attack increases the risk that shipowners, insurers and energy companies will become even more reluctant to send vessels through the waterway.
2. Saudi Arabia's Alternative Oil Route Is Also Under Pressure
Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline normally provides an important alternative to transporting crude through Hormuz.
The pipeline stretches roughly 1,200 kilometers from Saudi Arabia's eastern oil-producing region to the Red Sea port of Yanbu.
Its ability to move approximately 4–5 million barrels per day makes it an important piece of Saudi Arabia's energy infrastructure.
But following a drone attack, Saudi Arabia temporarily shut the pipeline as a precaution.
That means two important channels for moving Middle Eastern oil are now facing serious disruption at the same time: the physical pipeline network and maritime shipping through Hormuz.
3. The Red Sea Adds Another Pressure Point
The energy threat does not stop at Hormuz.
Iran-backed Houthi forces have expanded their control along Yemen's coast and are threatening the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, another critical maritime chokepoint at the entrance to the Red Sea.
Reuters reports that the Houthi advance threatens global oil supply chains and could affect nearly 7% of global petroleum deliveries and roughly 12% of international trade.
This creates a much larger concern for global markets.
If Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb both remain heavily restricted, energy shipments and other international trade could face longer routes, higher insurance costs and greater transportation expenses.
4. Oil Prices Are Already Responding
The market is beginning to reflect the growing supply risk.
Oil prices have moved above $100 per barrel, while U.S. diesel prices have reached record levels amid the continuing disruptions.
Higher energy prices can quickly move beyond the oil industry.
Transportation becomes more expensive.
Manufacturing costs rise.
Shipping becomes more costly.
Businesses can pass some of those increases to consumers.
The result can be renewed inflation pressure at exactly the time central banks are trying to control prices.
5. Energy Shock Can Become a Financial Shock
The most important Global Reset connection is the chain reaction that can develop from an energy disruption.
Shipping Disruption → Oil Supply Risk → Higher Energy Prices → Inflation → Interest-Rate Pressure → Bond Yields → Higher Debt Costs → Currency Pressure
This is why the latest Hormuz attack matters far beyond the Middle East.
If energy prices remain elevated for an extended period, central banks may have less flexibility to lower interest rates.
At the same time, governments already carrying large debt burdens could face higher costs when refinancing existing obligations.
The physical disruption of energy can therefore become a financial disruption.
WHY IT MATTERS
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important energy corridors in the world.
When shipping through the strait becomes dangerous, the consequences can extend into oil prices, transportation, inflation, interest rates and financial markets.
The simultaneous pressure on Saudi Arabia's pipeline infrastructure and the Red Sea shipping route makes the current situation particularly important to watch.
An energy shock does not stay in the energy sector — it can travel through nearly every layer of the global economy.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
Readers hold foreign currency with the hopes that it will increase in value when the Global Reset occurs.
Today's developments are important because energy prices can influence inflation, interest rates, trade balances, capital flows and currency valuations.
However, the latest Hormuz attack does not guarantee a currency revaluation or establish a date for a Global Reset.
What it does demonstrate is how geopolitical events can create measurable financial pressure that reaches well beyond the countries directly involved.
For foreign currency holders, the important signals are the structural changes taking place in trade, energy, monetary policy and the global financial system.
Hope is understandable. Evidence is essential.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
Pillar 1 — Energy
Energy security is increasingly becoming part of financial security.
The latest developments demonstrate how vulnerable the global economy can become when major energy routes are disrupted simultaneously.
Countries may respond by seeking additional suppliers, alternative transportation routes, larger strategic reserves and stronger domestic energy security.
Those changes can eventually influence global trade and financial relationships.
Pillar 2 — Debt and Monetary Policy
The second major concern is what happens if higher energy prices create persistent inflation.
Central banks may be forced to keep interest rates higher for longer, increasing borrowing costs for governments, businesses and consumers.
For heavily indebted governments, higher rates can make refinancing increasingly expensive.
This creates a difficult cycle: Energy Prices → Inflation → Higher Rates → Higher Debt Costs
That cycle is one of the major financial pressures worth monitoring as the global monetary system evolves.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The latest reported attack on a vessel in the Strait of Hormuz represents another escalation in the pressure surrounding one of the world's most important energy corridors.
With Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline also temporarily shut and risks increasing around the Red Sea, the concern is no longer limited to one isolated shipping incident.
The bigger issue is whether multiple disruptions can continue long enough to create a sustained energy shortage and a broader inflation shock.
The next financial shock may not begin in a bank or a bond market — it may begin with the physical flow of energy, then travel through inflation, interest rates, debt, bonds and currencies across the global economy.

🌱 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.

Tishwash: Source: Al-Zaidi plans US trip; Trump meeting in works
Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi plans to visit the United States after a European tour to attend the UN General Assembly in New York, with three major issues on his agenda as political efforts seek to arrange a meeting with US President Donald Trump, an informed source told Shafaq News on Friday.
The source said a political intermediary who previously helped organize Al-Zaidi’s July official visit to Washington is working to secure the meeting with Trump, which has yet to be confirmed.
If the meeting takes place, Al-Zaidi intends to discuss the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq under the agreed timetable and prospects for the post-withdrawal period, which the source said could see investment companies enter the country to begin implementing previously agreed projects.
Talks would also cover the government’s anti-corruption campaign and its next steps, including possible measures involving prominent figures suspected of corruption and several Iraqi banks, as well as the course of Iraq’s political process.
The 81st session of the UN General Assembly opened in New York on Sept. 8, with its high-level General Debate, which brings together heads of state and government, scheduled for Sept. 22-26 and Sept. 28.
Before traveling to New York, Al-Zaidi is scheduled to visit France and Germany in mid-September. Government spokesperson Haider Al-Aboudi said the European tour will focus on diversifying Iraq’s foreign relations and discussing several issues, including security.
The planned US trip would be Al-Zaidi’s second as prime minister. His first foreign visit after taking office included a meeting with Trump and produced 48 agreements and memoranda of understanding with US and international companies and institutions across sectors including energy, investment, infrastructure, technology and healthcare.
Al-Zaidi’s government program outlines a foreign policy based on balance and productive relations, seeking to keep Iraq out of regional and international rivalries. Since taking office, he has also visited Iran, Turkiye, and Qatar, while a planned trip to Saudi Arabia was canceled following joint Saudi-US strikes on Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) headquarters in Iraq that killed at least 20 members and wounded 32 others. link

Tishwash: Officially... Al-Zaidi will travel to Paris next Sunday
The media office of Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi announced on Friday evening that he will begin an official visit to France on Sunday, September 13, at the invitation of President Emmanuel Macron.
The office indicated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that this visit comes within the framework of strengthening bilateral relations between Iraq and France, and exploring ways to expand partnerships in various fields and sectors, foremost among them energy and security.
According to the statement, Al-Zaidi will meet with French President Macron next Monday, September 14, and they will discuss a number of regional and international issues of common interest.
The two sides will chair the expanded talks session to be held by the Iraqi and French delegations, to lay the foundations for new partnerships between Baghdad and Paris, and to discuss the general frameworks for bilateral cooperation in the fields of economy, security, energy, education, and others, in order to contribute to confronting various regional and international challenges. They will also oversee the signing ceremony of a number of memoranda of understanding in several sectors, according to the statement.
Earlier today, an informed source told Shafaq News Agency that Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zubaidi intends to travel to the United States to participate in the work of the United Nations General Assembly, following the end of his European tour, which includes France and Germany, while noting that there are efforts to arrange a meeting between him and US President Donald Trump.
Al-Zaidi had visited the United States in mid-July, at the head of a high-level delegation that included a number of ministers, government officials, members of parliament, and businessmen, on an official visit that lasted five days.
The visit focused on launching a comprehensive and diversified economic partnership to support the Iraqi economy, expand investment opportunities, revitalize the local labor market, and enable Iraq to open new outlets for exporting crude oil and increase production and refining capacities. link
Tishwash: 81 banks and financial institutions in Iraq... Why are most of them absent from global banking lists?
Iraq has a numerically large banking network, comprising dozens of government, commercial, Islamic, and foreign bank branches, but the paradox emerges when moving from the number of banks to their real weight on the international banking map; This large number is not reflected in a similar presence in the most prominent global bank rankings.
According to the approved lists of operating banks, the Iraqi banking system includes 8 government banks, 24 local commercial banks, and 31 local Islamic banks, in addition to 16 branches of foreign banks and two representative offices, bringing the total number to about 81 banking institutions and representative offices.
However, research into the most international rankings, most notably the Top 1000 World Banks list issued by The Banker magazine, which is mainly prominent based on the size of Tier 1 Capital, reveals that the Iraqi presence in the global list has remained very limited compared to the number of banks operating in the country.
One of the most prominent documented Iraqi cases is the Trade Bank of Iraq (TBI), which in previous years managed to enter the list of the world's top 1,000 banks. According to officially published data from the bank, its ranking reached 319th globally in 2020 according to the Tier 1 Capital metric, after advancing 26 places compared to the previous year.
However, this ranking is historical and should not be treated as a current ranking for 2026. Even in the latest edition of The Banker's list, there is no documented current ranking in open public data that can be attributed to all Iraqi banks or even most of them individually.
This highlights one of the most significant problems in understanding the reality of Iraqi banks: the existence of dozens of banks does not mean that each one has a global ranking. Major international rankings are based on capital, assets, profitability, financial strength, market reach, and balance sheet quality, while the majority of small and medium-sized banks do not even appear on these lists.
The difference becomes even more apparent when comparing Iraq to the Gulf banking systems. Countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait, while having fewer banks in some cases, have a stronger presence in global rankings because several of their banks possess significantly larger capital, assets, profitability rates, and international reach.
In Iraq, the IMF notes that the banking system remains heavily concentrated around two major state-owned banks, while private banks remain relatively small and face challenges related to limited capital, a limited customer base, and competition with state-owned banks. The IMF also pointed out that the dominance of large state-owned banks has hindered the emergence of stronger private banks.
The IMF also pointed to the need to complete the restructuring of state-owned banks, modernize the banking system, and expand international correspondent banking relationships, as essential steps for integrating the Iraqi banking sector more broadly into the global financial system.
Most telling is the risk assessment conducted by S&P Global Ratings on banking systems worldwide. In its July 2026 update, the agency placed the Iraqi banking system within the BICRA Group 10. ( S&P Global )
This ranking does not mean that Iraq is ranked tenth globally; Rather, the S&P scale ranges from Group 1 to Group 10, with Group 1 representing the lowest-risk systems and Group 10 representing the highest-risk systems. Thus, Iraq falls within the highest levels of banking risk according to this international scale.
A regional comparison reveals the widening gap. In the same S&P assessment, Saudi Arabia was in Group 3, the UAE and Qatar in Group 4, Kuwait in Group 3, Jordan in Group 6, while Iraq remained in Group 10.
This does not mean that all Iraqi banks are in trouble or in similar situations, because the BICRA rating relates to banking risks at the national and financial system levels, not to an individual rating for each bank. Rather, it reflects the environment in which these institutions operate and the strength of the surrounding regulatory, economic, and financial system.
S&P also notes that the Iraqi economy is highly sensitive to oil market fluctuations, and that its high dependence on oil and political and economic volatility affects the operating environment for banks. The agency has described the Iraqi banking environment in its reports as relatively weak compared to other banking systems.
Here the real question becomes: How many banks does Iraq have? But: How many of them are capable of competing globally?
The existence of dozens of banks does not automatically translate into a strong sector unless there are banks with large capitalizations, stable deposit bases, sustainable sustainability, strong governance, effective compliance systems, international correspondent relationships, and credit ratings comparable with regional and international institutions.
The presence of 16 branches of foreign banks in Iraq does not mean that they are included in the global classification of Iraqi banks, because the classification that a banking group such as Standard Chartered or others may have is due to the parent bank and its global group, and not to its branch operating inside Iraq as an independent Iraqi bank.
Therefore, describing all 81 banks as having a “global ranking” is inaccurate. The vast do not even appear in any of the most prominent majority rankings of the world's largest banks, while a limited number appear only in individual international data or assessments.
Between the large number and the weak international presence, it seems that the next challenge facing the Central Bank of Iraq will not only be maintaining dozens of banking licenses, but also building a less fragmented, stronger and more competitive sector.
The ongoing reform of the banking sector may, in the next phase, lead to a restructuring of the market, capital raising, compliance and governance requirements, and perhaps reducing the number of weak banks or merging some of them, in exchange for building larger institutions that are more capable of connecting with the international financial system.
In conclusion, the situation can be summarized in one sentence:
Iraq has dozens of banks, but it does not yet have dozens of banks with global influence.
The number has reached about 81 banking institutions and representative offices, but the presence in major global rankings remains limited, at a time when the Iraqi banking system is still classified among the highest risk groups by S&P.
This puts the sector to a real test: Will the upcoming reforms succeed in transforming the “abundance of banks” into “banking strength,” or will the map of Iraqi banks witness downsizing, mergers, and extensive restructuring in the coming years link
Secret QE is Part of the Reset, Treasury will use Stablecoins to Flood System with Cash
Secret QE is Part of the Reset, Treasury will use Stablecoins to Flood System with Cash
Daniela Cambone: 9-11-2026
“The new monetary system is already here.” E.B. Tucker explains how Treasury buybacks and stablecoin demand could quietly flood the financial system with cash.
The global financial landscape is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. When the United States Treasury Department announced its decision to buy back $6 billion in longer-term debt—tripling its usual transaction size—many market observers immediately feared the worst.
Secret QE is Part of the Reset, Treasury will use Stablecoins to Flood System with Cash
Daniela Cambone: 9-11-2026
“The new monetary system is already here.” E.B. Tucker explains how Treasury buybacks and stablecoin demand could quietly flood the financial system with cash.
The global financial landscape is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. When the United States Treasury Department announced its decision to buy back $6 billion in longer-term debt—tripling its usual transaction size—many market observers immediately feared the worst.
However, seasoned financial analyst E.B. Tucker suggests that this massive move is not a sign of market distress, but rather a highly calculated, strategic adjustment designed to manage long-term interest rates in a rapidly evolving digital economy.
In a recent interview with Daniela Cambone on ITM Trading, Tucker pulled back the curtain on this sophisticated monetary playbook. Instead of a system on the brink of collapse, the Treasury’s actions reveal a deliberate effort to steer the economy through a new financial era. At the heart of this shift is an unexpected driver: the meteoric rise of private digital currencies known as stablecoins.
To understand the Treasury’s current strategy, one must first understand the mechanics of the stablecoin market. Digital tokens pegged to the U.S. dollar, such as Tether and USDC, have grown from niche cryptocurrency tools into massive financial institutions.
These issuers collect billions of physical dollars from users worldwide who want to transact in digital formats, and they must hold stable assets to back those digital tokens.
As a result, stablecoin issuers have become some of the largest buyers of short-duration U.S. Treasury bills in the world. This continuous, massive influx of private capital into short-term government debt provides a reliable floor of support for the Treasury.
Armed with this steady demand at the short end of the yield curve, the Treasury Secretary can focus efforts on managing longer-term interest rates through targeted buybacks, effectively stabilizing the entire system from the top down.
This evolving dynamic signals a transition toward an increasingly managed financial ecosystem, one designed to sustain liquidity and growth at all costs. Rather than fighting the digital asset revolution, traditional financial institutions and regulators are actively leaning into it. Major commercial banks are already preparing to launch their own centralized stablecoins, such as OpenUSD, to streamline global banking and transaction networks.
For individual investors, this shift requires a change in perspective. Tucker encourages savers to look past the sensationalized, doom-and-gloom narratives prevalent in financial media today.
The administrative strategy currently being deployed is sophisticated, well-funded, and likely to achieve its goal of maintaining economic stability. Instead of resisting these systemic changes, individuals should aim to understand the new rules of the game and align their personal portfolios accordingly.
Adapting to this managed financial system requires a balanced, disciplined approach to wealth preservation and growth. During the interview, Tucker highlighted the distinct roles that tangible assets and digital currencies play in a modern portfolio. Gold remains a cornerstone for wealth preservation, offering reliable, steady, and modest growth during times of monetary transition. It acts as a baseline of financial security that has withstood centuries of economic evolution.
In contrast, Bitcoin represents a unique digital asset class with significant potential for upward growth, even if its ultimate everyday use cases are still being defined by the market. Rather than chasing speculative, high-risk trends, the path to long-term success relies heavily on financial education, steady accumulation, and a structured investment thesis.
By combining the historical stability of physical assets with the growth potential of new technology, investors can successfully navigate this newly engineered economic landscape.

CBI Tightens Rules For State Bank Advisers
2026-09-12 08:05 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq’s central bank (CBI) has tightened oversight of advisers at state-owned banks, requiring licensed financial institutions to clearly define consultants’ responsibilities and keep their roles separate from executive management, Shafaq News learned on Saturday.
CBI Tightens Rules For State Bank Advisers
2026-09-12 08:05 Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq’s central bank (CBI) has tightened oversight of advisers at state-owned banks, requiring licensed financial institutions to clearly define consultants’ responsibilities and keep their roles separate from executive management, Shafaq News learned on Saturday.
In an official circular, the CBI noted that the rules apply to both Iraqi and foreign advisers, stressing that experts cannot be given authority to perform executive duties. They are also barred from holding positions or serving on the board of the bank they advise or any other bank supervised by the CBI.
Financial institutions will bear legal responsibility for any violations of the directive, according to the circular.

An informed source also told Shafaq News that some advisers had received substantial payments and benefits, while allegations had emerged that bribes were offered to certain consultants.
Other cases involve specialists who were believed to have followed up on, promoted or facilitated banking transactions, raising potential concerns about conflicts of interest and blurred lines of responsibility.
The source also pointed to individuals who allegedly had little attendance or no clearly defined duties corresponding to their contracts, despite receiving substantial compensation.
“Some contracts may have resulted from favoritism, personal connections or ties to administrative officials,” he said, calling on the government, parliament and the Finance Ministry to review advisory and expert contracts at state-owned banks.

US Dollar Tops 236,000 Iranian Tomans
2026-09-12 14:08 Shafaq News- Tehran The US dollar climbed above 236,000 Iranian tomans in Iran's free market on Saturday, reaching a new high, according to Tejarat News, a website that tracks free-market exchange rates.
The euro also rose about 5.6% over the past week to around 274,760 tomans, while the British pound gained about 5.8% to top 319,000 tomans.
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent unveiled “Operation Economic Outcast” on August 24, targeting nearly 60 Iran-linked individuals, entities and vessels and widening potential secondary sanctions across sectors including digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping.
Renewed US-Iran military exchanges and a US blockade have added pressure on Iran's economy and crude exports. Iranian loadings fell to about 220,000 to 255,000 barrels per day (bpd) in August from roughly 2 million bpd in March, according to industry data cited by Reuters.
Iran's central bank has sought to contain the pressure. Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati said on September 1 that Iran had sufficient foreign-currency reserves and was prepared to inject up to $2 billion into the market to curb volatility.

BRICS BREAKTHROUGH: 11 NATIONS AGREE ON JOINT DECLARATION AS GLOBAL FINANCIAL ORDER FACES NEW TEST

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
BRICS BREAKTHROUGH: 11 NATIONS AGREE ON JOINT DECLARATION AS GLOBAL FINANCIAL ORDER FACES NEW TEST
The 11-member BRICS bloc has adopted its New Delhi Declaration, strengthening its call for greater economic cooperation, local-currency trade and improved cross-border payments as emerging economies seek a larger role in the global financial system.
OVERVIEW
BRICS leaders have formally adopted the New Delhi Declaration at the group's summit in India, reaching consensus despite major differences among members, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran and the United States.
The declaration supports greater use of member countries' local currencies for trade and cross-border payments, while BRICS continues working on ways to make its payment systems more connected and efficient.
The development does not create a common BRICS currency or announce the replacement of the U.S. dollar. Instead, it represents another step toward a more diversified international financial system in which countries have additional options for trade settlement and payments.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. BRICS Formally Adopts the New Delhi Declaration
The biggest development today is that BRICS has moved from negotiations to a formal joint declaration.
The expanded bloc includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates.
Reaching agreement among such a diverse group is significant because the members have different economic interests, political relationships and positions on major international conflicts.
The declaration calls for dialogue, consultation and diplomacy while expressing concern over the growing risks created by conflicts and disruptions to international trade.
2. Local-Currency Trade Receives Greater Emphasis
One of the most important financial elements is the continued push toward trade and settlement using national currencies.
The declaration supports efforts to make cross-border payments more efficient and affordable and encourages greater use of local currencies in transactions among members.
This is different from creating a new BRICS currency.
Instead, countries can attempt to use their existing currencies more directly when conducting bilateral or multilateral trade.
Over time, greater use of national currencies could reduce the need to convert every international transaction through the dollar-based system.
That would not eliminate the dollar, but it could contribute to a more diversified currency environment.
3. BRICS Payment Systems Are Moving Toward Greater Connectivity
BRICS is also continuing work on cross-border payment infrastructure.
The group's financial discussions have focused on making national payment and messaging systems more compatible while improving the speed, safety and cost of international transactions.
India has been particularly active in promoting payment connectivity, including the potential linking of fast-payment systems and central bank digital currencies.
This is important because financial-system change can occur through payment infrastructure even without creating a new currency.
The systems that move money can change first.
4. The New Development Bank Adds Another Financial Layer
BRICS' financial architecture extends beyond payments.
The New Development Bank has become an important institution for financing infrastructure and development projects among emerging economies.
Greater use of local currencies in development financing could further reduce dependence on borrowing exclusively through traditional Western financial markets.
This does not mean BRICS has created a replacement for the IMF, World Bank or dollar-based financial system.
It does mean that additional institutions and financial channels are developing alongside the existing system.
5. BRICS Is Challenging Parts of the Existing Global Financial Order
The New Delhi Declaration also reflects broader concerns among BRICS members about unilateral tariffs, sanctions and the structure of international institutions.
Members are calling for greater representation of emerging and developing economies within major global institutions.
That includes discussions involving the IMF, World Bank, World Trade Organization and United Nations Security Council.
The financial significance is broader than BRICS itself.
If emerging economies increasingly coordinate their positions on trade, payments, development finance and global governance, they could gain greater influence over the rules governing international commerce.
WHY IT MATTERS
BRICS has now demonstrated that its expanded membership can reach a common declaration even while facing significant internal disagreements.
More importantly for global finance, the group is continuing to develop local-currency trade, cross-border payment cooperation and alternative financial institutions.
These developments do not replace the existing financial system overnight.
They create additional options alongside it.
The global financial order may be changing not through one replacement currency, but through the gradual construction of multiple ways to move, settle and finance international trade.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
Readers hold foreign currency with the hopes that it will increase in value when the Global Reset occurs.
Today's BRICS declaration is relevant because it involves some of the countries and currencies most closely associated with the development of a more multipolar financial system.
However, the declaration does not establish a revaluation of any particular currency.
It also does not establish a date for a Global Reset.
What it does show is that major emerging economies are continuing to work on the infrastructure needed to conduct more trade and financial transactions through their own currencies and payment systems.
For foreign currency holders, that is an important distinction.
The financial foundation is changing before any potential change in currency values can be assumed.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
Pillar 1 — Payments and Technology
The continued development of BRICS payment connectivity directly supports the Technology and Payments pillars of the evolving financial system.
If national payment systems eventually become more interoperable, international transactions could potentially occur faster and with fewer traditional intermediaries.
The significance is therefore not simply digital currency.
It is the development of interconnected financial infrastructure capable of moving value across borders in new ways.
Pillar 2 — Trade and Currency Diversification
Greater use of local currencies in international trade could gradually contribute to a more diversified monetary system.
Countries would have more choices regarding how they settle trade and finance investment.
That does not mean the U.S. dollar suddenly disappears.
It means the international system could increasingly contain multiple major currencies, payment networks and financial centers operating alongside one another.
THE BOTTOM LINE
The adoption of the New Delhi Declaration is a significant step for an expanded BRICS bloc that has often been questioned about whether its diverse members can reach meaningful consensus.
The financial significance is especially important: BRICS is continuing to promote local-currency trade, stronger cross-border payment systems and greater financial cooperation.
None of this means the dollar is being replaced today.
But it does demonstrate that major emerging economies are actively developing additional channels through which international trade and financial transactions can occur.
The Global Reset may not arrive as a single announcement — it may emerge gradually as countries build new payment systems, expand local-currency trade and create a more diversified financial architecture alongside the one that already exists.

Holly Celiano and Chris Real World: 9-11-2026
In a recent video update, financial commentator Holly Celiano opened her message with a thoughtful reflection on the profound legacy of September 11, drawing a meaningful connection between historic resilience and the continuous evolution of global economic systems.
As the global financial landscape undergoes unprecedented structural changes, remaining informed about macro-level developments is essential for market participants. Celiano seamlessly transitions from this reflective opening to detail major shifts currently taking place across international banking networks, highlighting how traditional financial institutions are rapidly integrating with modern digital asset infrastructure.
Central to this financial update is the announcement that a consortium of 21 major global banks is joining forces to create a unified digital currency. This planned stablecoin will be fully backed by the United States dollar and engineered to strictly adhere to international regulatory standards, including the Clarity Act and the comprehensive monetary frameworks established by the G20.
Scheduled for an operational rollout by early 2027, the scope of this institutional initiative is remarkably broad. The venture aims to revolutionize multiple tiers of finance, facilitating everything from high-volume wholesale interbank settlements to day-to-day retail payment processing on an international scale.
Interestingly, not every major banking institution is participating in this joint venture. JPMorgan Chase has chosen to abstain from the consortium, opting instead to independently pursue the development of its own proprietary digital assets and private payment networks.
Despite this divergence in strategy, the collective creation of a fully compliant stablecoin by over two dozen world-leading banks represents a massive institutional endorsement of ledger technology. This institutional shift toward digital currency infrastructure creates a supportive environment for the broader market, indirectly validating utility-focused digital assets such as XRP as enterprise adoption becomes standard practice.
In addition to market analysis, Celiano addressed critical matters regarding online security and community integrity. She issued a firm warning concerning ongoing digital scams where deceptive actors impersonate public figures to target investors.
Alongside these security alerts, she confronted the issue of online misinformation and unnecessary negativity within financial groups, stressing the need for accurate information and mutual respect. Viewers were urged to practice digital vigilance, verify sources, and protect their personal information from bad actors operating online.
Concluding her update, Celiano provided a status report regarding ongoing currency revaluation proceedings. She noted that while the process continues to move at a slow and measured pace, there remains genuine reason for cautious optimism toward a positive resolution in due time.
Navigating the evolving intersection of traditional banking, digital assets, and global monetary policy requires a balanced approach rooted in discernment and discipline. Investors are encouraged to maintain patience, stay alert to market changes, and watch the full video from Holly Celiano on YouTube for further insights and comprehensive coverage.

September 15th: Clarity Act Senate Vote (Passage vs Baggage)
THE REVALUATION CASCADE
Iraq has been operating under an artificially suppressed exchange rate since 2003. The dinar was deliberately pegged low 1,470 to the dollar under the program rate set by the Coalition Provisional Authority and maintained by the Central Bank of Iraq under IMF pressure.
Iraq’s currency was low not because Iraq is poor. Iraq is sitting on proven oil reserves of 145 billion barrels, 9% of global supply. Add natural gas, phosphates, sulfur, gold deposits in the northern provinces.
The country’s GDP per capita on a purchasing power parity basis is already mid-tier. The currency does not reflect the asset base. That was the design.
When the US troops complete their withdrawal by September 30 and PM Ali al-Zaidi has been crystal clear, full sovereignty, no extensions, no residual force, no “adviser” loophole Iraq regains control of its own monetary policy.
The 2027 budget, which is being presented now, is structured around a new program rate. Not the old one. The new one reflects Iraq’s actual resource-backed valuation.
The dinar redenominates. Not “revalues” in the dinar-bro YouTube sense actually redenominates under a new ISO-4217 compliant framework tied to the asset-backed tokenization standard. The new Iraqi dinar clears on a distributed ledger.
Every holder of the old dinar who has physical notes registered in a recognized account gets exchanged at the new rate. The margin between the suppressed program rate and the sovereign rate is where the overnight wealth lives.

About the news
With the deficit approaching one billion dollars per month, experts disagree on the feasibility of raising the dollar exchange rate.
Economic warnings against a return to raising the price of the dollar... Al-Khafaji: The citizen with limited income will pay the price.
Economic analysts have warned against resorting again to raising the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar, stressing that this step will exacerbate the burdens on citizens and push the prices of goods and services to rise.
Working to attract foreign investment and implement development projects.
The Iraqi economy is caught between the hammer of declining oil revenues and the anvil of inflation... and calls to stop tampering with the currency.
Economic analyst Abdul-Azim Al-Khafaji said that "any government move to raise the price of foreign currency is an ill-considered measure," noting that "the biggest loser from this policy will be the citizen, especially those with average and limited incomes, who will bear the burden of rising prices and declining purchasing power."
Al-Khafaji added that "this step would lead to a new wave of inflation," calling on the government to "look for economic alternatives and other financial solutions that do not affect the value of the local currency or burden citizens with the consequences of economic crises."
In contrast, economist Kazem Jaber stressed that "the economic policies pursued by the current government aim to address the challenges facing Iraq in light of the heavy reliance on oil revenues, which constitute about 95% of the state's resources."
He explained that "among the options being considered is reducing the value of the dinar against the dollar, in addition to working to attract foreign investments and implementing development projects within Iraq." https://channel8.com/arabic/news/86243
The 50 And 100 Dinar Denominations Will Return With The Change Of Currency
Sunday, economic expert Mustafa Hantoush expected that the 50 and 100 dinar denominations would return to circulation if the currency change continued, indicating the possibility of issuing new monetary denominations with stronger security specifications .
Hantoush said, in a televised interview followed by Al Saa'a Network, that "the Central Bank may issue a new currency with advanced security specifications, with the possibility of offering monetary denominations of less than 250 dinars, such as 100 fils".
He added, "The Central Bank may move to issue denominations of 50 and 100 dinars in the next stage", indicating that "returning these denominations may contribute to supporting the currency and strengthening the position of the Central Bank".
He explained that "the Central Bank has not made a final decision on this step, while the government is working to form a committee to study the issue, pending the completion of the procedures related to it within the House of Representatives."
Crisis Expert: The State Needs A Genuine Review Of Its Financial Management System
Information/Baghdad... Crisis expert Ali al-Fariji stressed the need for the government to review the state's financial management system to prevent a recurrence of the financial crisis, particularly regarding employee salaries.
Al-Fariji told Al-Maalouma, “What is happening today should be a wake-up call for the Iraqi state. The salaries of millions of employees and retirees, as well as essential services, cannot remain almost entirely dependent on revenue from a single source and a single export route.”
He added, "Iraq today does not suffer from a lack of resources, but rather from a clear and genuine weakness in resource, liquidity, and risk management."
He explained that "what is required is not just finding funds for August salaries, but preventing the same problem from recurring in September and October."
He pointed out that "a state that possesses oil but struggles to finance its employees' salaries needs a genuine review of its financial management system, not a temporary solution at the end of each month." End 25
Government Adviser: Al-Zaidi’s Visits To France And Germany Carry Investment Message To Europe
Baghdad – INA - 9/11/2026 Financial Adviser to the Prime Minister Mazhar Mohammed Saleh said that Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi’s anticipated visits to France and Germany reflect Iraq’s orientation toward an investment partnership with Europe.
In a statement to the Iraqi News Agency (INA), Saleh said, “The visit comes at an important economic juncture and is consistent with the shifts reflected at the G7 summit in Evian, France, on June 16, 2026, particularly its move toward adopting the principle of long-term investment partnerships, promoting joint investment, mobilizing private capital, and using guarantees, blended financing and risk-sharing mechanisms to finance strategically important projects.”
He added that “the visit will carry a clear message that Iraq is seeking genuine investment partnership with Europe rather than financing,” noting that “Iraq possesses natural resources, a strategic geographic location, a market and major projects, while European companies and institutions possess capital, technology, expertise and access to global markets.”
He continued that “what is required is to bring these advantages together through joint projects that generate returns for investors and added value for the Iraqi economy,” pointing out that “the priority is to move from memoranda of understanding to projects that can be implemented by selecting a significant number of strategic projects, identifying investors and partners, determining financing requirements, guarantees and risk-sharing mechanisms, and setting clear timelines for financial close and the commencement of implementation.”
Saleh explained that “foremost among these projects is the Development Road project, which is being presented to Europe as an integrated strategic economic corridor rather than merely a railway and transport project, encompassing the Grand Faw Port, industrial and logistics zones, energy, communications and services,” stressing that “the project will serve as a model platform for joint Iraqi-European investment.”
He noted that “the talks are expected to focus on energy, industry, petrochemicals, infrastructure, transport and communications, with priority given to projects that facilitate technology transfer, create jobs and develop value chains within Iraq, in line with the new principles adopted by the G7 since its 2025 summit, rather than limiting cooperation to contracting agreements or the export of raw materials.”
He pointed to the importance of “differentiating between the priorities of Paris and Berlin,” saying that cooperation with France could focus on energy, transport, infrastructure, water and technology, while cooperation with Germany could focus on industry, energy, railways, equipment, industrial technology, training and knowledge transfer.
He said that “the key objective of the visit is to reach agreement on a joint Iraqi-European investment mechanism that brings together Iraqi capital, European and international financial institutions, European companies and the Iraqi private sector, while using guarantee and blended-financing instruments to mitigate risks and attract greater investment.”
Saleh stressed that “the success of the visit should not be measured by the number of agreements and memoranda of understanding signed, but by the number of projects that advance to final-stage studies, financial close and actual implementation.”
He noted that “Iraq has an opportunity to redefine its economic relationship with Europe on a new basis, one centered on partnership rather than aid, investment rather than financing alone, production rather than imports, and the creation of value chains within Iraq rather than merely investing in its resources.”
He underscored that “the clearest message conveyed by the visit is that Iraq is not asking Europe to finance its future, but inviting it to invest alongside Iraq in its future.”

SAUDI OIL PIPELINE HIT: NEW ENERGY SHOCK THREATENS GLOBAL SUPPLY, INFLATION AND FINANCIAL STABILITY
Saudi Arabia has temporarily shut a critical oil pipeline after an aerial attack, removing an important alternative export route as global crude supplies are already under pressure and energy prices remain elevated.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
SAUDI OIL PIPELINE HIT: NEW ENERGY SHOCK THREATENS GLOBAL SUPPLY, INFLATION AND FINANCIAL STABILITY
Saudi Arabia has temporarily shut a critical oil pipeline after an aerial attack, removing an important alternative export route as global crude supplies are already under pressure and energy prices remain elevated.
OVERVIEW
Saudi Arabia has shut its 1,200-kilometer East-West oil pipeline after an aerial attack, temporarily removing a major route capable of moving approximately 4–5 million barrels of crude per day while bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.
The disruption comes as other Middle Eastern shipping routes face growing risks, including the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb, increasing concerns that additional attacks could further restrict global energy flows.
Global oil-market buffers are already significantly depleted. Chevron CEO Mike Wirth warned that stockpiles and other measures that previously helped limit price increases have largely been used, leaving the market more vulnerable to additional disruptions.
KEY DEVELOPMENTS
1. Pipeline shutdown removes a critical supply route
Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline, also known as the Petroline, stretches approximately 1,200 kilometers from the kingdom's eastern oil fields to the Red Sea port of Yanbu.
The pipeline is particularly important because it provides Saudi Arabia with an alternative to shipping crude through the Strait of Hormuz.
Following the aerial attack, Saudi authorities temporarily shut the pipeline as a precaution while damage was assessed. The route has the capacity to transport approximately 4–5 million barrels per day, making its temporary closure significant for global energy markets.
The immediate question is not simply how much oil is lost.
It is how long the alternative route remains unavailable and whether additional energy infrastructure comes under attack.
2. The Red Sea is becoming another energy pressure point
The pipeline attack comes as the security situation around the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb is also deteriorating.
Reuters reports that Houthi forces have tightened their position around the strategically important shipping route, adding another layer of risk to international oil transportation.
That creates a dangerous combination.
The Strait of Hormuz is already under severe pressure, while another major route used to move energy between the Middle East, Europe and Asia is becoming increasingly difficult to rely upon.
For global markets, the loss of multiple transportation routes is potentially more important than the disruption of any single facility.
3. The global oil market has fewer buffers than before
The latest pipeline shutdown would be concerning under normal circumstances.
But the global market is entering this new disruption with significantly less protection than it had earlier in the conflict.
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth said oil-market buffers that had helped limit price increases earlier in the Iran war have now largely been depleted. Countries have released crude from strategic stockpiles, while other temporary measures have also been used to keep supplies moving.
Wirth warned that the risks to oil prices remain to the upside over the coming months.
This means another major disruption could have a larger market impact than earlier attacks, because there are fewer spare cushions available.
4. Energy pressure can become inflation pressure
Oil is not isolated from the rest of the economy.
Higher crude prices affect transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, shipping and consumer goods.
The effects can therefore move through the economy in stages:
Supply disruption → Higher oil prices → Higher transportation costs → Inflation pressure → Higher interest-rate expectations
That becomes particularly important now because U.S. inflation is already above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, while central banks in Europe and elsewhere are also confronting renewed energy-driven inflation.
The latest energy disruption therefore has the potential to complicate monetary policy decisions around the world.
5. The debt market could become the next transmission point
The Global Reset implications become clearer when energy is connected to government debt.
If energy prices remain elevated, inflation can remain higher for longer.
If inflation remains elevated, central banks may have less room to lower interest rates—or may even face pressure to keep rates higher.
Higher interest rates increase the cost of borrowing and refinancing government debt.
That produces another potential chain reaction:
Energy → Inflation → Interest Rates → Bond Yields → Government Debt Costs → Currency Pressure
This is why an attack on an oil pipeline can eventually become a global financial story.
WHY IT MATTERS
Energy is one of the foundations of the global economy.
When a major export route is disrupted at the same time that strategic reserves and other crude-market buffers have already been drawn down, the financial consequences can extend far beyond the energy sector.
The situation also demonstrates how closely geopolitics, energy security, inflation, debt and financial markets have become connected.
This is no longer simply a regional energy problem — it is a test of how much pressure the global financial system can absorb.
WHY IT MATTERS TO FOREIGN CURRENCY HOLDERS
Readers hold foreign currency with the hopes that it will increase in value when the Global Reset occurs.
Today's developments are important because energy prices can influence inflation, interest rates, trade balances, capital flows and currency valuations around the world.
However, the Saudi pipeline shutdown does not guarantee a revaluation of any particular foreign currency, nor does it establish a timetable for a Global Reset.
What it does provide is another measurable example of the financial pressures that can influence the international monetary system.
For currency holders, the important signals remain the underlying economic and financial changes, rather than predictions about a specific reset date.
Hope is understandable. Evidence is essential.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE GLOBAL RESET
PILLAR 1 — Energy and Financial Stability
The Saudi pipeline disruption demonstrates why energy security is increasingly becoming a financial-security issue.
The ability to move oil from producing regions to consuming nations is essential to the functioning of the global economy.
When transportation routes are disrupted, the consequences can spread into prices, trade, inflation and monetary policy.
Energy infrastructure is therefore becoming an increasingly important component of the global financial system.
PILLAR 2 — Debt, Currencies and the Next Financial Pressure Point
The potential impact becomes even greater when energy inflation collides with high government debt.
Governments already face substantial refinancing requirements. Higher inflation and interest rates can make that debt more expensive to service.
At the same time, changing interest-rate expectations can affect the relative value of currencies and the movement of international capital.
The result is a financial system in which energy events can increasingly influence debt markets and currencies.
That connection is one of the major structural developments to watch as the global financial architecture evolves.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Saudi Arabia's temporary shutdown of its East-West oil pipeline is significant because it removes an important alternative route at a time when the global oil market is already operating with depleted buffers.
The danger is not simply today's lost capacity.
The greater concern is what happens if additional energy infrastructure or shipping routes are disrupted while the world's available supply cushions are already thin.
For the Global Reset, the lesson is clear: financial-system pressure does not have to begin inside a bank or a bond market.
The next financial shock may begin with a disruption to the physical flow of energy — and then travel through inflation, interest rates, debt, bonds and currencies across the global economy.

🌱 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.

Never hand your discernment to anyone who cannot show proof.
You deserve truth — not timelines.
