China and BRICS Shake the US Dollar: What Next?

Fastpo: 6-9-2024

The BRICS nations are intensifying their efforts to reduce reliance on the US dollar in global trade and finance.

This de-dollarization initiative has gained significant momentum with the recent inclusion of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, Iran, and Ethiopia into BRICS as of January 2024.

A major step in this direction is the development of an alternative payment system to SWIFT, which is currently dominated by the US dollar.

This new system aims to facilitate international transactions independent of US financial control, reducing the geopolitical leverage of the US.

Additionally, the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) is increasing its lending in local currencies of member countries, with a goal to have 30% of its loans in local tenders by 2024.

This reduces reliance on the dollar and mitigates risks associated with exchange rates and US monetary policies.

The expanded BRICS, now including major oil producers like Saudi Arabia, enhances its economic influence, supporting the de-dollarization agenda by integrating more economies capable of trading in local currencies.

There is also ongoing discussion about introducing a unified BRICS currency to further accelerate this shift, potentially altering the global economic power balance. These initiatives by BRICS signify a concerted effort to create a more multipolar global financial system, challenging the hegemony of the US dollar.

While the full impact of these measures will take time to manifest, the move towards de-dollarization marks a significant shift in global economic strategies.

But the de-dollarization do not limit to the initial BRICS move.

They're going to have lots of different little things happen to them that are going to be painful. Anybody that's holding the dollar when they change the exchange rate...those exchange companies, 197 banks that got tagged by the central bank...they're going to have a painful experience because if you're not large on the dinar and you own dollars and Alaq drops the three zeros, those guys are going to have a painful situation... They've been warned. They've been open about stopping the dollar auctions in Iraq for this year...

Reconstructing Iraq: The Role Of Banks In Financing The Future

Time: 06/08/2024 20:27:26 Read: 2,067 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} Reconstructing Iraq after years of wars and conflicts represents a great challenge, but it also represents an opportunity to rebuild a strong and sustainable economy.

A useful summary of important news can be found on the Al-Furat News channel on Telegram. To subscribe, click here

Banks play a crucial role in financing reconstruction, by providing the loans and credit facilities necessary to finance construction and infrastructure projects.

The Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company played an important role in enhancing the confidence of investors and depositors in the Iraqi banking system, which made it easier for banks to obtain the necessary financing for reconstruction. It is estimated that Iraqi banks have provided loans worth more than $10 billion to finance reconstruction projects in recent years.

Germany's experience after World War II is an inspiring example of how banks can play a crucial role in the country's reconstruction. The KfW German Development Bank has contributed to financing many vital projects in Germany, such as rebuilding industrial and residential infrastructure, and providing financing for small and medium-sized companies.

He noted that "Iraq's exit from the list confirms the important steps that the government has worked on, and from here we can look at the deep vision with which the authority dealt with and the method of implementing its service programs in a reform manner, many of which were directed towards preventing corruption, such as activating electronic automation, and there is also awareness Socially, it contributed to rejecting cases of rampant corruption in recent years.”

He explained that "the fingerprints that Al-Sudani placed on the wheel of reform were reflected positively on the projects and the clarity of vision for many matters related to services and reform. It also appears that Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al-Sudani laid the foundation for basic visions and ideas that are reflected in the lives of Iraqis, including creating a culture of transparency and integrity, and this The matter affects Iraq's reputation positively, and also affects international support and the creation of an investment environment in Iraq to attract companies, and these are the first fruits of reform that Sudanese reaped as a result of the positive repercussions of his government program.” link

Iraq Economic News and Points To Ponder Sunday AM 6-9-24

Investment Law In The Balance Of The Economy

Economical 06/06/2024 Dr.. Adnan Hadi Jaaz

There is no doubt that investment is one of the most important factors that can contribute effectively to

correcting the defect in the structure of the Iraqi economy,

diversifying sources of income, and

reducing dependence on oil.

Reaching this goal is one of the most important strategic goals that contribute to Iraq’s stability and development and confronting economic, political and social crises.

Therefore, the law that is drawn up to

attract investment must direct the financial surpluses of Iraqi society and

make them move in the direction that uses capital efficiently and

achieves the maximum for Iraq. Possible benefit.

Private sector investments, whether local or foreign, are among the most important factors that can be relied upon to solve the problems of the Iraqi economy.

The private sector is the second wing of the economy, and

reality and history have proven that its distance from the economic scene was one of the biggest historical mistakes in Iraq.

However, in a quick reading of the new investment law, we are disappointed according to our vision and economic ambitions, and fears have increased for the future of this country’s economy, and

in this article we try to explain the reasons for this not optimistic vision.

According to our reading, the proposed investment law is nothing more than a law for investment in residential cities, which is not considered a channel for transferring the financial surpluses of Iraqi society into the hands of a small, non-productive group, some of whom are foreign.

The investor in building residential cities can import all the materials he needs for the project without any return to the state or the state treasury.

He can grant the land for free, and we all know that the lands overlap and there is no difference between what is inside the basic design and outside it.

Obtaining financial facilities and soft loans.

After 25% of the project is completed, he has the right to withdraw the capital and profits in full.

He has the right to employ foreigners, and of course these facilities will be used to import many times the materials and goods that the investor needs, which is the biggest source of increasing his profits and exporting foreign exchange many times the amount he obtained. Return as well as remittances of foreign workers.

As for what was mentioned in the privileges, he has the right to use what he increased from the land after the completion of the residential project without restricting or even specifying the land.

This is a lot of talk.

If we assume that he decided to build facilities that are not appropriate for the privacy of Iraqi society, or any of the investments that are not appropriate for them to be in residential areas.

Does the law allow us to prevent it?

The second question is: He has the right to invest the surplus, regardless of its size: five, ten, or even twenty dunams, and perhaps more!

All of this is for the sake of producing housing units that are so far beyond the capacity and capacity of the middle class and even those with above-average incomes, and so far we only see from it an increase in the well-being of the wealthy by isolating them and settling them in private cities and in return absorbing the community’s financial surpluses and exporting them abroad.

Is this goal worth all these high economic costs?

Yes, it can stimulate the economy and increase growth if Iraq produces what the real estate sector needs, and

therefore we say that it is an expansionary financial policy that aims to increase growth rates and income by increasing production rates and thus increasing employment and income rates in a way that contributes to solving the unemployment problem that haunts the political class and always threatens it. By failure.

If we give the land for free with exemptions from taxes and fees, in addition to an interest-free loan to the investor, and we allow the employment of foreigners, and

we allow the export of foreign exchange, which is the financial surpluses of citizens and the loans that came from the Central Bank and Iraqi banks,

then all these sacrifices are for the sake of increasing the well-being of the wealthy, nothing more and nothing less.

There is a real solution to the problem of housing the poor and the middle class, and even if the needs of these segments are to be met, there are shorter and much less expensive ways, as the cost is great and very significant for the economic policy in general.

If we assume for the sake of argument that the visionary aims to increase the supply of housing units until it exceeds demand, then the gradual decline in prices will begin.

I believe that with the presence of crazy financial surpluses, including money laundering and the legalization of corruption funds, and some segments on which there are no restrictions, and

they are many without detail, this is what I call the effect.

The double negative of this money is that it deducts from public funds and exploits citizens.

It works to increase prices in a way that cannot be kept up with in the real estate sector, and real estate in Baghdad and Basra are the best examples.

Therefore, this goal is difficult to achieve and requires a long period of time or for these cities to reach remote areas. Too far.

We must be patient in approving this law, and we must push financial surpluses of all kinds in another, more efficient direction, as

they are an important financial resource and the key to solving many of Iraq’s economic, political and social problems.

We push them towards industry, especially with goods that meet the needs of the real estate sector and modern agriculture that meets the market’s need, and this is something that can be achieved.

Easily with the very large profit opportunities from the very large movement of the real estate sector due to the support of the financial and monetary policies represented by the initiatives of the Central Bank,

then it can be said that Iraq is pursuing a financial and monetary policy with clear features and results for the present and the future, and that these reasons for the investment law are somewhat logical.

I’m a Financial Advisor: Here Are the 6 Worst Secrets You Can Keep from Me

Some may be surprised to learn that the relationship between a client and their financial advisor can be an intimate one — largely because the events occurring in a client’s personal and professional life can have a significant impact on his or her financial future. And that means all those events — no matter how bad or ugly — need to be disclosed. It may even help to think of your financial advisor like a monetary life coach.

Income or Assets from Illegal Activities

For CFP Stephen Kates, this one tops the list largely due to the fact that there is a risk such activities might taint the advisor, which can destroy their career. If a client manages to hide income or assets from unsavory activities and this comes to light, the blowback for the financial advisor could include civil fines, sanctions and reputational damage.

And it’s not as simple as the financial advisor claiming ignorance given the “Know Your Client Rule,” which lays out a process of background checks that financial institutions must adhere to in order to guard against financial crimes. If anything manages to creatively slip through the cracks, the punishment can be swift.

Hiding Assets or Investments

Kates explained that some clients take a piece-meal approach to money management, choosing not to disclose certain assets because they prefer to manage them on their own or have an entirely different financial institution manage them instead. However, Kates said, “One of the most important parts of building a portfolio is having a cohesive strategy. When you hide assets, you risk the advisor recommending investments that are not appropriate in light of the true breadth of your assets.”

Overstating Income

On the opposite end of hiding assets is overstating income, explained certified financial planner and founder ofRetire to Abundance, Tyler Meyer, who once had a couple report their income as 30% higher than it actually was. Turned out, they were reporting their gross income instead of their net income.

“We had to have a very real conversation about why they weren’t hitting their savings goals,” said Meyer. “We were able to set more realistic goals, including their savings rate, but more importantly, a more realistic timeline to retire.” Overstating income can lead to inappropriate investment strategies and unrealistic goals.

Hidden Debts

In the absence of a complete financial picture, Meyer explained, advisors can’t adequately help clients in effectively managing their debt, avoiding excessive interest payments or prioritizing debt reduction.

RMF: Just thinking out loud. If I remember right Parliament passed the 2024 Budget Schedules on 5/3/24. Then the Budget went directly to the Gazette on the 4th.

Now we know that if not signed it goes into effect automatically 15 days later...which takes us to the 20th of June...the stuff dreams are made of.

Always hopeful and believing this may be the month the people and investors have something to celebrate.

Of course any day would be just fine to wake up and find that I can stop worrying about paying my bills. etc.

Reconstructing Iraq: The role of banks in financing the future

6/8/2024

Reconstructing Iraq after years of wars and conflicts represents a great challenge, but it also represents an opportunity to rebuild a strong and sustainable economy.

Banks play a crucial role in financing reconstruction, by providing the loans and credit facilities necessary to finance construction and infrastructure projects.

The Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company played an important role in enhancing the confidence of investors and depositors in the Iraqi banking system, which made it easier for banks to obtain the necessary financing for reconstruction. It is estimated that Iraqi banks have provided loans worth more than $10 billion to finance reconstruction projects in recent years.

Germany's experience after World War II is an inspiring example of how banks can play a crucial role in the country's reconstruction. The KfW German Development Bank has contributed to financing many vital projects in Germany, such as rebuilding industrial and residential infrastructure, and providing financing for small and medium-sized companies.

The Economic Ninja: The Petrodollar will be Destroyed on June 9th, 2024

June 8, 2024

The economic world is abuzz with the recent prediction by the enigmatic figure known as the Economic Ninja. In a bold statement, they have declared that the Petrodollar will be destroyed tomorrow, June 9th, 2024. But what does this mean for the global economy, and should we take this claim seriously

Let’s delve into the inner workings of the Petrodollar system and scrutinize the Economic Ninja’s arguments.

The Petrodollar System: A Brief Overview

To understand the potential destruction of the Petrodollar, we must first grasp its concept. The Petrodollar system was established in 1973 when the United States and Saudi Arabia reached a historic agreement. In essence, the United States would provide military protection to the Saudi kingdom, and in return, Saudi Arabia would denominate all oil sales in US dollars. This arrangement created a global demand for US dollars, as any country needing to import oil had to first acquire dollars, thereby strengthening the US currency’s position and influencing the global economy.

The Economic Ninja’s Case Against the Petrodollar

The Economic Ninja’s prediction is rooted in several factors, including the recent shift in global economic power, the rise of cryptocurrencies, and the ongoing geopolitical tensions. They argue that the Petrodollar’s days are numbered due to the following reasons:

1. The Decline of the US Dollar: With the increasing US debt and the rise of other economic powers like China and the European Union, the dominance of the US dollar is waning. Countries are seeking alternatives to the dollar for international trade and reserves, thereby weakening the Petrodollar’s foundation.

2. The Emergence of Cryptocurrencies: Decentralized digital currencies, like Bitcoin, pose a significant threat to the Petrodollar. Their borderless, anonymous, and secure nature appeals to nations and organizations seeking autonomy from the US-led financial system. If countries start adopting cryptocurrencies for oil transactions, the Petrodollar’s demise will accelerate.

3. Geopolitical Tensions: The ongoing tensions between the US and major oil-producing countries, such as Iran and Venezuela, have prompted these nations to explore alternatives to the Petrodollar. For example, Iran and Russia have already started trading oil in local currencies, bypassing the US dollar.

Analyzing the Prediction: Fact or Fiction?

While the Economic Ninja’s argument is compelling, predicting the exact date of the Petrodollar’s demise is ambitious, if not impossible. The global financial system is complex and interconnected, with numerous variables and stakeholders. Moreover, the US still holds significant influence over the global economy and the international political landscape, making a sudden collapse of the Petrodollar unlikely.

However, it is undeniable that the Petrodollar is facing challenges, and its days as the dominant global reserve currency may be numbered. The trend towards alternative currencies, the increasing US debt, and the ongoing geopolitical tensions all contribute to the potential weakening of the Petrodollar. The economic world should take these warnings seriously and prepare for a possible shift in the global financial landscape.

In conclusion, the Economic Ninja’s prediction of the Petrodollar’s destruction on June 9th, 2024, may be more of a symbolic call-to-action than a precise forecast. Nevertheless, it serves as a reminder that the global economy is constantly evolving, and the Petrodollar’s days as the undisputed global reserve currency might indeed be numbered.

Stay informed, stay vigilant, and stay prepared for the future of the global economy.

BuckEyeTree: Wonder if the budget made it into the Gazette. It was supposed to be sent there. Even if the Tables still show the program punishment rate, the publication would be one more step toward the goal.

IMO, Sudani (with Alak and Minister of Finance next to him) can go on TV at anytime and make an announcement to Iraqi citizens via the big screens and the world that the Iraqi dinar has s new rate. The budget tables can be amended shortly after IMO.

The good guys, Sudani and Alak, have been speaking a lot lately, and they will have more to say and maybe soon. Just how soon is the question. A public broadcast and then going on Forex would grab the attention of the world. The printed page, radio and TV, and internet are powerful means to communicate but especially the latter.

IMO it is possible and has been said that the Iraqi dinar with its REER may rescue failing economies. The countries which hold dinar especially after exchanges will have an asset of value in their reserves in addition to precious metals that may be held.

IMO, there will be an increase in economic activity in the USA after dinar holders exchange then purchase new homes, cars, furniture, and other goods along with charitable donations. I can only imagine and hope that those with incredible new wealth would remember to include giving to Children's Hospitals and food pantries, and to those less fortunate, etc, although charity starts at home.

We hear it is all done. So, now time to get it done and expose the rate, such as what rate is in those contracts? For those huge projects, Iraq needs more than an operational budget IMO and each day brings more drop the mic news. Arrest the bozos who stole money and get it done. Seat belt on ready for take off & miracles.

Clare: THERE IS NO NEW PUBLICATION IN THE IRAQI GAZETTE SINCE 6/3 AS OF RIGHT NOW. I WILL POST IT, IF I SEE ANYTHING CHANGE.

BuckeyeTree: I was hoping maybe the Gazette was out later than usual. There must be a good reason for postponement. Wonder if Eddie had something to say about that.

The greater impact would be to make a special announcement on TV and on the big billboard screens. No idea how many Iraqis or if most Iraqis read their gazette.

If budget only has the sanctioned rate, the Iraqis can celebrate that the projects are in the budget, but the projects cannot be realized at 1310 IMO. They would still be waiting for Sudani to keep his promise that they would have purchasing power. The reinstatement is primarily for them. They have waited long for it. Hopefully, "coming days" does mean days (or hours) away.

Clare: Atripartite meeting tomorrow between oil companies and the Ministries of Federal Oil and Natural Resources

6/8/2024

Rudaw Media Network learned from sources in oil companies operating in the Kurdistan Region that a tripartite meeting will be held tomorrow, Sunday, between the Ministries of Federal Oil and Natural Resources and oil companies, to discuss resuming the export of Kurdistan Region oil via the pipeline to Turkey.

A senior official in one of the oil companies operating in the Kurdistan Region told the Rudaw Media Network today, Saturday (June 8, 2024), that the oil companies have observations on the Iraqi government’s conditions for resuming exports.

The official, who did not want to reveal his name, added: “The Iraqi Oil Ministry set a condition for our participation in the meeting, during which we were asked to submit a copy of our contracts.”

According to the official, oil companies are afraid of this condition, because the Ministry of Oil has previously filed a lawsuit against these contracts.

He continued: "The Iraqi government should either withdraw its lawsuit against our contracts or grant legal guarantees to oil companies after we present our contracts during the meeting."

The Federal Ministry of Oil responded positively to the oil companies’ request to hold a tripartite meeting to discuss their financial dues.

On May 28, the Ministry invited the international oil companies operating fields in the Kurdistan Region, and the Ministry of Natural Resources, to a meeting with the aim of “discussing and discussing the issue and reaching an agreement to accelerate the restart of production and resume the export of oil produced through the Turkish port of Ceyhan and according to the quantities specified in the budget law.”

The Minister of Natural Resources in the Kurdistan Regional Government, Kamal Muhammad, noted, for his part, that “the main problem facing the resumption of exports is that the Ministry of Oil sees the cost of production as high.”

In this regard, Kamal Muhammad pointed out that “Iraq annually allocates trillions of dinars to its oil sector.”

Sunday's meeting comes one year and two months after the Kurdistan Region's oil exports stopped, which caused billions of dollars in losses to the Iraqi economy, the Kurdistan Region, and oil companies.

According to information, there are two main problems facing the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region, which are the cost of production and contracts. LINK
