Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Tuesday Evening 6-11-24

Expert: Dealing In The Dollar Remains And Speculation In Prices Is Temporary

Time: 06/11/2024 Read: 637 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} The economic expert, Bassem Jamil Antoine, considered the issue of price speculation “temporary,” while he believes that dealing in the dollar will remain in Iraq.

Antoine told {Al-Furat News} that: “The dollar will not be cut off from the local markets because the rate of entry of the dollar into Iraq daily is no less than 3 million from the sale of oil.”

He added, "Speculation in prices is temporary and short-lived because the government was able to maintain prices through the regularity of the food basket, and there is not much demand for the dollar. The pumping continues, demands are met, and speculation operations have been controlled."

Antoine pointed out, "It is possible that there will be a slight increase during the Eid al-Adha period; unless the banks continue to take their share of it and pump it to the markets, we will be able to control it in general."

Today, Tuesday, selling prices in the field of banking in the local markets in Baghdad reached 148,750 Iraqi dinars for 100 dollars, while purchasing prices reached 146,750 dinars for 100 dollars. LINK

Oil Prices Rise Thanks To Hopes Of Increased Demand For Fuel

Energy Economy News Baghdad Oil prices rose at the beginning of trading on Tuesday, continuing their gains for a second day thanks to hopes of rising seasonal demand for fuel and potential US purchases to increase the strategic petroleum reserve, despite the rise in the dollar that limited the gains.

By 0038 GMT, Brent crude futures rose 28 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $81.91 per barrel, and US West Texas Intermediate crude futures increased 31 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $78.05.

Crude prices rose about three percent, on Monday, to their highest level in a week, supported by expectations of increased demand for fuel in the summer, despite the rise in the dollar and expectations that the Federal Reserve (the US central bank) will keep interest rates high for a longer period.

MikeCristo8: Why the Fiat Dollar Could Suddenly Begin Collapsing

June 10, 2024

MikeCristo8: If you want to understand why the fiat Dollar could begin to suddenly collapse starting tomorrow is…

Turkey (and the rest of the world, poor countries) will be offered a better exchange rate to replace their dollarreserves with China’s RMB digital gold token in the oil trade.

Luke Gromenrecently posted a tweet that Goldwould replace the U.S. Treasury bond in oil trade settlement.

It’s strictly business for the reason why the dollar may suddenly collapse.

Mnt Goat ...the IMF is not going “lop” the Iraqi dinar. A “lop” is a tool the IMF uses to restart a currency from massive inflation. ...We also have articles for Iraq telling us they WILL NOT lop the dinar. They do not have massive inflation and so this tool of a lop is not necessary. That is why they call it the “project to delete the zeros” and not a ”lop”.

Clare IN 2023 THERE WAS AN APPEAL ON THE ACTUAL BUDGET... BUT WAS RULED OUT THROUGH THE COURTS. THE TRIPARTE BUDGET WAS LEGALLY PASSED, SENT TO THE PRES. WHO SIGNED IT AND WAS PUBLISHED IN THE GAZETTE. Today's Article Quote: "I do not think there will be an appeal, and even if there is an appeal, the budget will be spent, because it was voted on and its issue was decided legally." THERE IS NO APPEAL ON THE BUDGET SCHEDULES THAT WERE JUST PASSED BY PARLIAMENT AND IT WAS NOT NECESSARY TO BE SIGNED BY PRES. BECAUSE THE BUDGET WAS ALREADY PASSED...THE MOJ HAS IT NOW AND WILL PUBLISH WHEN READY.

CandyKisses: After OPEC’s decision to reduce cuts… Iraq increases its production by 40 thousand barrels per day

Economy News _ Baghdad

Iraq increased its production by 40,000 barrels per day during the month of May, after OPEC’s decision to reduce cuts, according to a survey conducted by S&P Global Commodity Insights on June 10.

The nine OPEC members subject to quotas boosted crude oil production by 100,000 bpd in May, led by Nigeria and Iraq, pushing the group 320,000 bpd above their collective targets, while the bloc's allies led by Russia cut production.

Iraq increased its production by 40,000 barrels per day to reach 4.28 million barrels per day, which is 280,000 barrels per day more than its current target, despite its agreement in May to compensate for the surplus production. The Platts survey estimates current oil production in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq at 210,000 barrels per day.

Iraq's production reached 4.28 million barrels per day, up from the previous month, which reached 4.24 million barrels per day.

Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context. Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Tuesday Evening to all my fellow RV’ers!!

Member: Mark, do you think we will see the RV by the 15th?

MZ: With what I am hearing…I think the 15th is very doable. …very possible…But no one knows the exact timing

Member: Rumors are just flying around Dinarland

MZ: The chatter out of Reno and around the world has certainly lit up. There is a lot saying that it has started….a whole heck of a lot. The rumors are flying from Reno…from Brazil,….from Asia….. but not much coming out of Europe but maybe that’s because of the time of day.

MZ: Rumors are going around that they have aggregated and are finishing up and that the first currency person got paid today. I heard that from somebody who knows the person personally that they got paid…..I do not know this person personally so I cannot verify it 100%...but, I feel very confident about this person who said “yes, one of my real life friends just got paid today on currency”

MZ: If so, that would be huge. It may be the bank was stepping out a little ahead

MZ: I do have a number of bond contacts who got some preliminary test deposits. They are expecting their full payments this week. .

MZ: So for me…this is probably the most exciting thing I have seen. I have seen facilitators and humanitarian platforms get paid….but this is the first time that an individual I can track has received dollars…..Call them test deposits or whatever- but this is the first real movement I have seen I have seen to be warm and fuzzy about.

MZ: I am specifically getting out of Reno and one other area that they have aggregated their Zim today. . For me Zim has always been a bit of an outlier to me….and this has me very excited that they are aggregating their Zim for release in a few days. They were specifically told it would be in a few days and I heard this is coming from more than 1 source.

MZ: There seems to be a lot of things breaking loose today.

Member: Mike Bara said a bond holder is receiving test deposits, but not paid yet. Expects to be paid tomorrow. Fingers crossed

MZ: And I had not talked to Mike yet today.

MZ: Guys don’t make any stupid decisions based on these rumors…..you know how news can turn on a dime. Stay calm.

Member: Jentel says Wednesday or Thursday

MZ: Jen is eerily correct on a lot of things.

Member: This makes sense to me that these types of preparations would have to be made prior to Mr. C being visited as when he imputs the codes everything will take place like a landslide.

MZ: That does make sense. They need to make certain things work flawlessly . So for them to pay people “test” deposits and make certain all the bugs are worked out….it does make perfect sense.

Member: It would sure make a great Father’s day…to have the RV

Member: Wolverine recorded a very emotional message saying the blessing has arrived. Peter on QFS channel said elders have released payment

Member: Frank26 says draft budget will become law within 14 days from June 3 when parliament approved the budget.

Member: My bank called my job about our payroll being done by Thursday because they can’t do any business Fridays- Monday they will reopen Tuesday

MZ: Hmmm. Isnt that weird?

MZ: Trickle, trickle, flood. Slowly, slowly, SUDDENLY. We are getting to the suddenly portion of this thing. .

Member: At the redemption center, should we only bring a small amount of currency the first time to check the process, then go back a second time with the rest??

Member: Take it all……you may not get a second chance…imo

Member: I am giddy with the great news tonight….Thanks to all….and God bless us everyone!

Five Predictions For The Coming Decade Of Decline

Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black) June 11, 2024

There is a well-known modern proverb (often attributed to the novelist G. Michael Hopf) that goes, "Weak men create hard times, hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men."

The saying sums up the cyclical nature of the rise and fall of societies– and it’s a topic in which I have tremendous personal interest.

Having recently reached middle age, I can comfortably say with the benefit of hindsight that I was born and grew up during the American prime time– the time at which the wealthiest and most powerful country in the history of the world was at its peak.

The US is still an incredible country with so much prosperity and opportunity. But it would be completely naive and ignorant to claim that America is not in substantial decline.

Its standing in the world has waned, much of it just over the past few years. It’s hard for adversary nations to take you seriously when your President shakes hands with thin air and embassy employees in Kabul have to be evacuated by helicopter.

Financial challenges keep piling up– from the insolvency of Social Security to the $35 trillion national debt to the inflation problem that just won’t go away.

And social divisions, many of which have been bizarrely self-inflicted, seem to grow more tense by the day.

Fortunately, America’s decline began from a historically high peak. So even in its diminished state, again, it is still wealthy and powerful.

But the real concern isn’t where the country is today. It’s the trend, i.e. where the country will end up in ten years’ time if it stays on current course.

I’ve spent the past fifteen years studying similar cases throughout history– the US is far from alone as the only nation that has ever peaked and declined.

And one of the best works on the subject I’ve ever read is The Collapse of Complex Societies, by anthropologist Joseph Tainter.

“Collapse” is a strong word and conjures images of anarchy and death. But Tainter’s definition is more precise; “collapse” doesn’t mean that a society or nation ceases to exist, but that it experiences a steep decline in political, social, and economic stability.

This is what (I believe it’s clear) the US is going through right now, and the trend is accelerating.

Tainter’s book examines the common factors of how different societies throughout history declined– from ancient Mesopotamia to Western Rome. And his analysis shows that one of the key culprits in collapse is the inability of a government to recognize problems… or to solve them.

Many ancient Roman emperors were legendary for failing to recognize the horrible problems brought on by their policies and incompetence– inflation, invasion, etc.

This pretty much describes the US federal government in a nutshell.

Politicians can barely talk about problems in a civil and rational manner. And quite often they refuse to even acknowledge them.

We’ve seen this over and over again with issues such as inflation, the southern border, crime, and social security.

For example, the Social Security trustees publish a report each year stating plainly that the program is going to run out of money by 2033. But no one in Washington wants to talk about it. Joe Biden has even pledged to veto ANY efforts to reform the program.

Biden’s top officials also repeat the bold-faced lie that “the border is secure”, while actively encouraging illegal immigration. The federal government even sued Texas to stop the state from securing the border on its own.

The people in charge demonize and defund police, decriminalize theft, and elect progressive prosecutors who let violent criminals go free.

It’s the same dysfunction with federal spending. These people can’t even acknowledge that a $35 trillion national debt is catastrophic. Most politicians happily ignore it, and others come up with more outrageous spending to further the debt spiral.

They cannot acknowledge the problem, let alone discuss it rationally. Merely passing a budget now routinely devolves into a crisis.

Our view of where this trend leads is clear:

1. Inflation is coming.

There is little hope of responsible spending. The government’s own projections forecast an extra $20 trillion in new debt over the coming decade, and frankly that’s optimistic.

History shows that explosions in national debt are financed by the Federal Reserve creating new money– which ultimately causes inflation.

When the Fed created $5 trillion of new money during the pandemic, we got 9% inflation. How much inflation will $20+ trillion cause?

And the worse inflation becomes, the more urgency the rest of the world will have to replace the dollar as the global reserve currency… which will result in even MORE inflation in the US.

It’s a vicious cycle in which inflation will create more inflation. We project this is 5-7 years away.

2. Social Security is not going to be there for you.

Social Security is not a political problem; it’s an arithmetic problem. And the math just doesn’t add up.

Every year the US Secretary of Treasury signs the report saying plainly that, by 2033, Social Security’s trust funds will run out of money. Benefits will have to be permanently cut by 25% and then become worse over time.

3. Higher taxes are virtually guaranteed.

Politicians love claiming that people should pay their “fair share” but can never quite define how much that means.

And they have already moved the goalposts on who exactly owes society more— the “billionaires” became the top 1%, then quickly shot up to the top 5%, then 10% and soon it will be the top 25%.

Higher taxes won’t just be federal. State and local taxes— from sales tax to property tax— are very likely to cost more, while your governments provide much less.

4. Continued social chaos.

Every time it feels like the lack of civility and unity across Western Civilization can’t get any worse, something new erupts.

The latest is university students screaming “from the river to the sea” and “Just Stop Oil” while defacing artwork and public monuments. Rising tides of socialism and racial animosity never seem to ebb, and idiotic wokeness just won’t go away.

These social divisions will likely continue to grow.

5. Maybe most importantly, major geopolitical disruptions.

As the financial and social decline of the US becomes increasingly obvious to the rest of the world, adversaries are becoming more emboldened.

Nations like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran are likely to grow more assertive, and there will be significant calls to replace the dollar as the global reserve currency.

Soft war incidents like spy balloons, manufactured pandemics, cyberattacks, etc. will persist— and if we’re very lucky, there won’t be a shooting war. I give it 50/50.

It’s exasperating. Anybody over the age of about 35 remembers a time when it wasn’t like this.

Yet now chaos is the norm. I’m not saying this to be dramatic– it’s important to be intellectually honest.

Part of being intellectually honest means acknowledging that, again, the US is still a great country with an incredibly powerful economy, boasting some of the most valuable businesses in the world.

And Americans still enjoy an extremely high standard of living— albeit one that has been disrupted in recent years by the combination of inflation, crime, and social chaos.

The most exasperating part is that these problems are fixable.

The US government could spend responsibly, encourage capitalism and innovation to grow the economy, and its debt problems would melt away. The dollar would remain valuable. US leadership might even earn back global trust.

But with the current people in charge, I wouldn’t hold my breath. And I also wouldn’t put all my hopes and dreams on the voters smartening up anytime soon.

Yet there are still plenty of solutions that independent-minded individuals can execute without relying on the government.

For example:

Problem: Future inflation will pose a major problem to one’s savings.

Solution: Invest in assets which do well during, or even benefit from, inflation— real assets such as energy, mining, and productive technology. Right now many of these are selling for record low prices, yet poised for substantial growth.

Problem: An overrun border and rising crime rates threaten cities and living standards.

Solution: Obtain a second residency in a foreign country where you really enjoy spending time, or even obtain a second passport. This way you and your family will always have a place to go if the need ever arises.

Problem: Social Security’s trust funds will run out of money within a decade.

Solution: Maximize contributions to retirement accounts— including a special type of 401k which could allow you to double contributions and direct where funds are invested. This lowers your taxable income, puts more money away for retirement, and allows the investments to grow tax-free.

There are solutions for people who, unlike the government, are willing to recognize the problems and actually do something about it.

Iraq News Highlights and Points To Ponder Tuesday Afternoon 6-11-24

Parliamentarian: The Basra-Aqaba Oil Pipeline Does Not Achieve Economic Feasibility For Iraq

Economy Information/Baghdad.. On Tuesday, the representative of Basra Governorate, Rafiq Al-Salhi, considered the agreement to extend the oil pipeline from Basra to the Jordanian port of Aqaba as a failed project that does not achieve any economic benefit for Iraq, and the only beneficiary from it is the Jordanian side.

Al-Salhi said in a statement to the Al-Ma’louma Agency, “The project to extend an oil pipeline from Basra to Aqaba is a failed project and will cost the country large sums of money because it has no economic benefit for Iraq and the only beneficiary is the Jordanian side.”

He added, "The shipping and pumping costs operations will drain large amounts of money and costs compared to exporting it from the ports of Basra, as the cost of exporting one barrel from the ports of Basra is estimated at 6 cents, while the cost of a barrel from the port of Aqaba exceeds four dollars. This is a waste of money, in addition to its security risks related to protecting... Pipeline from terrorism or international targeting.”

Al-Salhi pointed out that "the project faces widespread criticism from oil specialists, so we categorically refuse to initiate the project now or in the future."

It is noteworthy that the Basra-Aqaba oil pipeline project is a proposed project to transport crude oil from the Rumaila field, in southern Iraq, to ​​Aqaba, in southern Jordan. Its length is 1,700 km. LINK

After Returning It For The Purpose Of Auditing...The Iraqi Facts Address Parliament To Send The Budget Schedules

Shafaq News/ Ministry of Justice spokesman, Ahmed Laibi, said on Tuesday that the Iraqi Facts Department addressed the House of Representatives with an official letter in order to send the schedules of the Federal Financial Budget Law for the year 2024 in order to publish them in the Official Gazette.

Laibi explained in a statement to Shafaq News Agency, that there are communications between the Facts Department and the House of Representatives to complete the procedures and publish the budget tables in the Iraqi Facts newspaper.

For his part, a parliamentary source told the agency that this measure comes after the Real Estate Department returned the budget law schedules to the House of Representatives for the purpose of scrutinizing some articles and paragraphs of the law, but the House was late in sending them again.

The source added that the Council must return the budget law schedules before the end of this week and the Eid al-Adha holiday to avoid further delays.

At the beginning of last May, the Iraqi Council of Representatives voted on the budget schedules for the current year, 2024.

The budget included securing scholarships for university and school students, and increasing employee allocations by 4 trillion to secure the salaries of employees, new appointees, and retirees, and implementing the terms of contracts, appointments, and those whose contracts were terminated.

It also included allocating an amount of one trillion and 250 billion dinars to secure the increase in retirees' salaries, and allocations for disbursing end-of-service rewards to civilian and military retirees.

As well as increasing social welfare allocations to include more than 650,000 new families, increasing the capital of the Real Estate Bank by 500 billion dinars to cover citizens’ lending requests for housing, and allocating an amount of 5 trillion dinars to secure farmers’ entitlements to purchase wheat and barley crops.

At the beginning of this June, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Cougar, revealed an important step towards approving Iraq’s budget for the current year.

Koçer told Shafaq News Agency at the time that the House of Representatives voted on the budget law schedules and sent them in an official letter to the Ministry of Justice for the purpose of publishing them in the Iraqi newspaper Al-Waqe’i.

He stated that the budget schedules do not need to be approved by the Presidency of the Republic, given that Parliament voted last year on the three-year budget law.

He added that after publishing the budget tables in the Official Gazette, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Planning will disburse operational and investment expenses, allocations and financial dues to ministries, institutions, bodies and government agencies, in addition to disbursing the governorates’ dues as specified in the budget tables. LINK

Al-Muttalabi: The 2024 Budget Was Fair To The Ministries At The Expense Of The Provinces

Policy Information / Baghdad... The former member of the Baghdad Provincial Council, Saad Al-Muttalabi, confirmed on Tuesday that there was an imbalance in directing budgets towards ministries instead of directing them towards local governments as they are concerned with service projects in their areas.

Follow the “Al-Ma’louma” channel on Telegram.. News that does not require documentation..

Al-Muttalabi told Al-Maalouma Agency, “The ministries’ projects differ from the governorate’s projects, which is considered a local administrative unit that has its direct needs from the municipal directorates spread throughout the regions.”

He added, "Each municipality affiliated with the governorate has its own projects, needs, and plan, and they are presented to the advisory and engineering body in the governorate to be studied and drawn up. Its plan is sent to the Ministries of Planning and Finance, where the sent plan includes realistic solutions for the area in question, while the ministry does not look at such matters, but rather works." According to a federal strategic plan.

He stated, "It is a mistake for the budget to be directed to the ministries and the governorates and their projects and service plans are ignored. In addition, it is considered a constitutional flaw, as the projects must be primarily local, with the exception of security." LINK

Will Texas Exit the United States and Join BRICS?

On June 9, 2024 By Awake-In-3D

Could Texas and BRICS Create A Gold-Backed Financial Future Beyond the Fiat Currency System?

If Texas were to secede, an intriguing possibility is that it might only accept gold-backed dollars for cross-border trade, rejecting fiat currency – including the US Dollar – entirely.

This stance could align Texas with the BRICS Alliance, which is currently developing a new gold-backed common trade currency and sovereign financial system.

Joining the BRICS Alliance could bolster Texas’ economic independence and offer a robust alternative to traditional financial systems dominated by fiat currencies.

This potential alignment with BRICS nations would significantly impact global geopolitics and economics, positioning Texas as a key player in a shifting international monetary landscape.

In This Article

• Texas GOP’s call for a secession vote and state sovereignty

• Historical context of Texas’ independence movement

• Key arguments and criticisms of the TEXIT movement

• Economic and political implications of potential secession

The Texas Republican Party’s recent convention has reignited discussions about the state’s potential secession from the United States.

With the adoption of platform planks advocating for a secession referendum and stronger resistance to federal overreach, the question of Texas’ independence is gaining renewed attention.

Texas GOP Advocates for State Sovereignty

At the 2024 Republican Party of Texas Convention in San Antonio, the party adopted two significant platform planks.

The first asserts that the federal government has overstepped its bounds, infringing on powers reserved to the states. It calls for the Texas government to oppose, refuse, and nullify unwarranted federal laws, affirming Texas’ right to secede. The second plank directs the Texas Legislature to schedule a secession referendum for the next general election.

“This historic vote at the 2024 Republican Party of Texas Convention represents a substantial shift towards enhancing state sovereignty and exploring the potential for Texas to operate as an independent nation,” stated the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM).

Historical Context of Texas’ Independence Movement

The location of the convention, San Antonio, holds historical significance as the site of the Alamo, a key chapter in Texas’ fight for independence from Mexico.

The 1836 Battle of the Alamo, though a setback, played a crucial role in Texas becoming a self-governing republic. From 1836 to 1845, Texas was an independent nation before joining the United States.

The first plank of the new platform cites Article 1, Section 1, of the Texas Constitution, claiming federal government actions have impaired Texas’ right to local self-government. It calls for a referendum on secession and the passing of the Texas Sovereignty Act.

Arguments and Criticisms of the TEXIT Movement

Supporters of the TEXIT movement argue that secession would protect Texas’ rights against federal overreach.

They believe that greater autonomy would allow Texas to better manage its resources and address its residents’ needs without federal interference. The Texas Nationalist Movement’s Nate Smith defended the platform at the convention, countering claims of treason and emphasizing the right to self-determination.

Critics, however, argue that secession is unconstitutional and impractical.

They point to the Pledge of Allegiance’s reference to “one nation…indivisible” as evidence against the legitimacy of secession.

Brian McGlinchey, in making a case against the pledge, argues that the concept of indivisibility contradicts the foundational human right to political divisibility, as demonstrated by the United States’ own secession from the British Empire.

Economic and Political Implications

Texas’ potential secession poses significant economic and political implications.

As the largest oil producer in the United States, Texas accounts for 42% of American production, with extensive agriculture, deep-water ports, and a burgeoning high-tech industry. These resources position Texas well for economic independence.

The recent decision by BlackRock, Citadel Securities, and other investors to back the Texas Stock Exchange further underscores the state’s economic potential. Rising dissatisfaction with federal regulations and compliance costs has fueled this move, highlighting Texas’ attractiveness as an independent economic entity.

The Bottom Line

The Texas GOP’s call for a secession vote and increased state sovereignty marks a significant shift in the state’s political landscape.

While the TEXIT movement faces substantial legal and practical challenges, its growing support reflects a deepening desire for autonomy and local governance.

As Texans continue to explore the growing desire for sovereign independence, the question of whether it will actually secede from the United States remains open, with significant implications that could reshape the state’s future and its relationship within the global financial and geopolitical landscape.

BRICS Beyond Borders: Dedollarization, Common Currency, and Global Expansion

Think BRICS: 6-11-2024

Discover the latest BRICS news and developments in financial matters, expansion, and cooperation. In this insightful video, Clive Ettia from Think BRICS and Rhod Mackenzie from @SCOBRICSInsight discuss pivotal topics such as dedollarization, BRICS common currency, and digital currency initiatives. In the opening segment, we dive into Russia's push for dedollarization in Latin America trade.

Understand the geopolitical implications and the benefits and challenges this brings to Latin American countries. We then explore the broader BRICS strategy for economic sovereignty and mitigating dollar dependency.

Next, we cover the ambitious move towards a BRICS common currency. Learn about the feasibility, timeline, and potential economic and political implications of this initiative. We compare it with digital currency projects involving Saudi Arabia, China, and the UAE, highlighting how these efforts align with BRICS' financial sovereignty goals and global trade strategies.

We also touch upon regional security issues, focusing on the tensions in the Horn of Africa over a naval base in Somaliland. This discussion outlines the strategic importance of the region, BRICS interests in Africa, and potential diplomatic solutions. Lastly, the video reviews the recent BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting in Nizhny Novgorod, discussing strategic alignments and the growing influence of BRICS.

With around 30 countries showing interest in joining or cooperating with BRICS, we analyze the strategic advantages and the future growth potential of this powerful alliance.

While this video provides an in-depth analysis of BRICS financial matters, expansion, cooperation, and the specific geopolitical and economic implications of de-dollarization and a common currency, it does not cover the technical details of implementing a BRICS digital currency or the exact strategies behind each country's involvement in these initiatives.

The discussion on regional security and naval base conflicts in the Horn of Africa is thorough, but it does not delve into the specific military strategies or detailed political negotiations taking place behind the scenes.

MarkZ Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context. Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions

Member: Good Morning to all….. Happy Days ahead!!

Member: Mark Z, what are your thoughts on Dinar, Bolivar, Rupiah and Dong RVing at the same time. And if so, could the delay of RV be that all are not going the same time.

MZ: I still think they will all go at once…and I do not think it’s a delay….but will help them all go.

MZ: We have much anticipation for today and are hoping we see bond money for individuals. I have had reports that humanitarian bonds for groups has already moved. This is on the humanitarian side…but nothing yet on individual historic bond holders. .

MZ: I do have some reports of a few groups that were requested to update NDA’s this weekend. There were multiple reports…..which is interesting. A couple of these sources I know personally so believe it is spot on. This is from “Grouped currencies” Not individuals like you and I. With updating their NDA’s – the leaders are expecting something very soon.

MZ: I will let you know this evening if there are any updates on bonds. If there is a couple-slam dunk -I can confirm it bond reports this afternoon…I will send out telegram , tweets ect. Notices….

Member: I am dubious about donating to humanitarian projects unless the bad guys in power are arrested…..too much lying, cheating and stealing in charities right now…..imo…where donated money goes to the people running the charity and not to the people needing the help

Member: How much more proof of corruption is needed before we see arrests. Geez…

Member: We have been waiting many years to see somebody finally get arrested….guess bad guys are still in control….

Member: There needs to be accountability. For their actions.

Member: Mark any update from your Bank Redemption Contacts lately????

Member: (From Dinar Guru) Guru Mnt Goat ...the IMF is not going “lop” the Iraqi dinar. A “lop” is a tool the IMF uses to restart a currency from massive inflation. ...We also have articles for Iraq telling us they WILL NOT lop the dinar. They do not have massive inflation and so this tool of a lop is not necessary. That is why they call it the “project to delete the zeros” and not a ”lop”.

MZ: That is what I keep saying……Thank you

Member: Last night Frank26 also described a LOP process from his inside source as the process. Then said it was NOT a LOP, but exactly what was described

Member: why would Iraq put out new fiat bills when the world is going to asset backed? they wouldn’t

Member: june 19 is 15 days from when the budget was passed. time will tell :)

MZ: “After returning it for the purpose of auditing –The Iraqi Gazette addressed parliament to send budget tables” So they are expected to release it to the papers this week …There are a lot of people who believe we will see a rate when they do that.

Member: The Gazette usually release new stuff on Wednesdays and Saturdays

MZ: I do have a couple contacts in Iraq that believe we will see it then …They expect it to be published Saturday in the Gazette……...I hope they are accurate.

MZ: Another one which is a clear indicator for where this is headed and Iraq’s rise to prominence…...” Sudani visits Jordan in an emergency conference on Gaza” Iraq is being looked at to lead and to be a calming voice.

MZ: “BRICS working to create platforms for payments in national currencies : Russian Finance Minister” This is a nice breakdown on the progress with BRICS. They are working on infrastructure for BRICS and a unified payment system across BRICS countries.

MZ: This is a Technolgy that could be used for us as a Quantum System …or for controlling Central bank digital currencies. “ Project MBridge reaches minimum viable product stage and invites further international participation” In other words. Their international system is now functional outside of the SWIFT system!

MZ: To me this is a big one because we now have the mechanism to move forward with the quantum system.

Member: I think BRICS is our best chance to see a RV/Reset

MZ: “Is there a financial crisis bubbling under the surface?” This is the race we are in for rate expectation to be out this week. They are talking about the unrealized losses and troubled banks……Our own government has highlighted 63 banks that may be in trouble –perhaps even more. There is not enough FDIC coverage to cover those banks- by a long shot.

Member: Did you hear the rumor that Wolverine said Brazil already is Celebrating! They got their money?

Member: And now Uganda has discovered $12T USD in a new GOLD find.. hmmm. All these countries now”discovering” new gold.. interesting.

Member: It makes me wonder when the US will "Discover" gold in the Grand Canyon...

Member: Bo Polny did a great video yesterday about we are in Biblical times & he's right I agree with him. Before summer starts these last 10 days are going to be EPIC!!!!

Member: Thanks Mark and mods…..Hope everyone has a wonderful day….and this is the RV week we are waiting for.

Tishwash: Al-Sudani will visit Jordan tomorrow, Tuesday

A government source revealed today, Monday (June 10, 2024), that Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani will visit Jordan tomorrow, Tuesday.

The source told "Baghdad Today" that the Sudanese "will pay a visit to Jordan tomorrow, Tuesday, at the head of a high-ranking government delegation."

He pointed out that "the visit will discuss a number of security and economic files and developments in the region." link

Tishwasj: Iraq expects to reach an agreement to resume oil exports through Türkiye within days

The Iraqi government expects to soon reach a final agreement with the Kurdistan region and international oil companies there, to resume oil exports, according to what Bloomberg reported.

The Iraqi Oil Minister, Hayyan Abdul-Ghani, said in a televised interview on the government “Al-Iraqiya” channel, “There is progress in these negotiations, and we hope that we will reach, within the next few days, a final understanding in this regard.”

He added that the Iraqi Ministry of Oil, the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region, and international oil companies met on Sunday in Baghdad to discuss the resumption of production and exports, noting that the revenues will be deposited in an account in the Central Bank of Iraq.

Abdul Ghani expressed his hope that there will be multiple outlets for exporting Iraqi oil abroad, and he said: “We are looking for other sources to deliver Iraqi oil to global markets... We were exporting 400 thousand barrels of oil per day through Turkish Ceyhan before it stopped.” He added: “We are conducting negotiations with Turkey to resume oil exports through Ceyhan,” noting that “there is progress in the negotiations regarding the Iraqi-Turkish oil pipeline.”

Sunday's meeting in Baghdad, which was attended by Abdul Ghani and officials from the Ministry of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Region, came after an invitation sent by the Ministry of Oil, last month, to the Kurdish authorities and international energy companies. To meet and discuss the resumption of northern oil exports.

A senior official at the Ministry of Oil, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks, said on Sunday that the talks are expected to focus on the Kurdistan Regional Government’s energy production sharing contracts, which Baghdad wants to amend, and the oil production costs demanded by foreign oil companies. In exchange for oil extracted from the Kurdistan region.

Iraq says that foreign companies and the authorities of Iraqi Kurdistan are behind the delay in resuming crude oil exports. Because it has not yet submitted its contracts to the Federal Ministry of Oil for review.

Crude oil exports from Kurdistan stopped more than a year ago, after they were closed in March 2023. Due to the dispute over who allows exports from the Kurdistan region.

The impasse came on the heels of the International Chamber of Commerce's March 2023 ruling on a dispute between Turkey and Iraq over Kurdistan's oil. The ICC ruled in favor of Iraq, which said Turkey should not allow Kurdish oil exports through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline and the Turkish port of Ceyhan, without the approval of the Iraqi federal government.

Months of tense negotiations between Iraq and Turkey, and between Iraq and Kurdistan, followed, with an agreement remaining elusive. In January of this year, foreign companies operating in Kurdish oil fields called on the US Congress to take immediate action to help solve the problem of the cessation of crude oil exports from the autonomous Iraqi region. The group said, in a letter to Congress, that “oil export is the foundation of Iraq’s economy, and all Iraqis will benefit when full production and global sales from the Kurdistan region resume.” link

CandyKissses: Corporate governance in Iraqi banks. Enhancing transparency and efficiency

{Economical: Al-Furat News} Corporate governance is one of the most important factors that contribute to enhancing the performance and safety of the banking sector. By applying the principles of sound governance, banks can improve their efficiency and risk management, and enhance investor and customer confidence.

In Iraq, banks have come a long way in applying corporate governance principles, with the support of the Central Bank of Iraq and the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company. These efforts have contributed to improving the performance of the banking sector and increasing its transparency, which reflected positively on the Iraqi economy in general.

Singapore’s experience in corporate governance in the banking sector is an example.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has applied a set of strict governance standards, including disclosure and transparency requirements, defining the responsibilities of the board of directors and executive management, and periodically evaluating the performance of banks.

These efforts have contributed to making Singapore a global financial centre with an excellent reputation for transparency and integrity.

In Iraq, the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company can play a greater role in strengthening corporate governance in banks, by encouraging banks to adopt international best practices in this field, and providing training and guidance to board members and executive management.

The Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company is arguably an inspiring success story under difficult circ*mstances. Through its vital role in protecting depositors' funds and promoting confidence in the banking system, so that the company contributes to building a strong and stable national economy.

As its efforts in development and innovation continue, the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company promises to be a key pillar in achieving sustainable economic development in Iraq.

Baghdad Plans To Link China’s Belt And Road With Iraq’s Development Road

Amr Salem June 10, 2024

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – The Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, confirmed on Sunday that it is possible to link China’s Belt and Road with Iraq’s strategic project of the Development Road.

Al-Sudani’s statement took place during his meeting with Dai Houliang, the chairman of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), which is the government-owned parent company of PetroChina.

The meeting addressed Iraq’s interest in developing gas projects, fertilizer industries, and energy projects, in addition to the construction of a power plant and a petrochemical factory, according to a statement issued by the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO).

The Belt and Road Initiative, also known as the New Silk Road, is a worldwide infrastructure development project launched by the Chinese government in 2013 with investments in more than 150 countries.

According to the World Bank, the Belt and Road Initiative has the potential to increase trade flows in 155 participating countries by 4.1 percent while also lowering global trade costs by 1.1 to 2.2 percent and increasing the GDP of East Asian and Pacific developing countries by an average of 2.6 to 3.9 percent.

The Chinese initiative aims to build an integrated large market that fully utilizes both international and domestic markets through cultural exchange and integration to improve member countries’ mutual understanding and trust.

The New Silk Road bridges an infrastructural gap and has the potential to boost economic growth across Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and Central and Eastern Europe.

Iraq’s $17 billion Development Road project will connect the Al-Faw Grand Port in southern Iraq to the border with Turkey by extending a railway and road network.

Many Arab, regional, and European countries have expressed their willingness to participate in Iraq’s Development Road project, either by pumping in investments or taking part in the construction works, as it constitutes an important link between Asia and Europe.

The project is expected to turn the country into a transit center by shortening the travel time between Asia and Europe in an attempt to compete with Egypt’s Suez Canal.

Al-Sudani illustrated earlier that the project includes a railway to transport goods, with a capacity of 3.5 million tons in its first phase that will be increased to 7.5 million tons in the second phase.

The Iraqi Prime Minister mentioned that the project will also include a highway for land transport and pipelines to transport energy, in addition to the Al-Faw Grand Port and the industrial city expected to be one of the largest in the Middle East.

As a global corridor to transport goods and energy, the project will generate many job opportunities for Iraq and the countries of the region, as well as opportunities for industries and businessmen, and it will be a center attracting global trade.
