Let's sum up a little bit from the last article posted last night and this morning. On the Moscow Exchange, we have local currencies currently being traded.
This will enable countries to individually synchronize their gold with their shipping correlations through tokenized assets.
As these assets are interfaced on the QFS, real-world assets can now find real-world values as they are traded on the market.
As these new prices that form on the Moscow Exchange begin to solidify, we will notice a domino effect Globally as currencies and goods begin to exchange Internationally. This is the starting point. This is where it all begins.
This is a process determined by supply and demand revealing price determinations through price actions that take place on the market.

On balance, it was critical of the concept, although it concluded that it “may be the next phase for traditional assets."

Do wholesale CBDCs compete with bank services? |Ledger Insights
Most banks are not keen on retail central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) because they fear it will lure away bank deposits. The recent support by theAmerican Bankers Association for the anti-CBDC Bill is evidence of this.Wholesale CBDCs – the ones only usable by institutions – were considered useful for banks.
However, some institutions are keener than others, often depending on the application of the wholesale CBDC. Executives in the securities services sector are usually the most enthusiastic. On the payments side, JP Morgan’s Umar Farooq appeared to have reservations during last month’s Consensus event.

As for oil importing countries, the growth rate is expected to increase in 2024 to 2.9% and then to 4% annually in 2025-2026.
In Egypt, the growth rate is expected to increase due to investment growth, which was partially stimulated by the major deal concluded with the Emirates (Ras El Hekma), according to the report.

Money and business Economy News – Baghdad A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, confirmed that the current year’s budget will be delayed as a result of the appeals submitted to the schedules, indicating the impossibility of implementing it without resolving all the submitted appeals.
Al-Kadhimi said, “The government was supposed to submit the budget schedules at the beginning of this year,” noting that “the delay in sending the schedules to Parliament is unjustified and has greatly affected the financial situation in the country.”
He added, “The government and the Ministry of Finance must send financial allocations to the governorates and ministries to begin implementing projects,” noting that “there is no reason to stop releasing financial allocations.”
Al-Kadhimi wondered “about the reasons for approving a tripartite budget if project funds will be stopped,” and thus this is a negligence attributed to the Ministry of Finance, adding that “projects of the Ministry of Education and Health and other state departments have stopped due to these errors in passing the general budget.”
He pointed out that “there is a parliamentary movement during this period in order to release financial allocations and develop solutions to the crisis so that it does not affect the work of the government and stop the wheel of reconstruction.” https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=44289

Baghdad today – Maysan Maysan Council member Hussein Al-Maryani confirmed today, Thursday (June 13, 2024), that a lawsuit had been filed against the Ministry of Finance due to an article in the 2023 Budget Law.
Al-Maryani said in an interview with “Baghdad Today” that “Article (2/First/5/B) of Budget Law No. (13) of 2023, which stipulates (when the selling price of one barrel of crude oil increases over the price fixed in the Budget Law) 30% of the increase in the price difference will be allocated to pay the late dues to the governorates.)
He added, “The price of a barrel of oil in the budget was $70, but the government sold oil at around $79, meaning there is an increase of up to $9 for each barrel, and the law is clear in its text about allocating 30% of the increase to pay the provinces’ dues.”
He pointed out that "30% of the provinces' dues, including Maysan, were not paid, which prompted us to file a lawsuit in the Federal Court against the Ministry of Finance for violating the text of the above-mentioned article to recover our rights."
The government set the price of a barrel of oil in the 2023 budget at $70, but it sold it for around $80, a price that was also fixed in the current year’s 2024 budget. LINK

KTFA:BuckEyeTree: The Forex Live My Charts showed the IQD Futures trade at $4.21 at about 10:33am ET this morning. What potential the IQD has!! Woho! Just wait for the reveal and international trading.
IMO when Sudani said this year, those words could apply to June as well as December, but I am inclined to think sooner not later.
Sudani is not giving any date until it is time for him to do that on Iraq TV. When the Iraqis see videos showing the new lower notes, the rate would be very near at hand. There seems to be excitement in the air among Iraqis because their leaders, Sudani and Alak, are about to make good on their promises. In My Opinion.
We wish Iraq and Iraqis well for an improved Iraq. May that region have peace which brings prosperity.
Stay grounded. Big bucks have big responsibility.

Hantoush said in an interview with "Baghdad Today" that "recently, the demand for buying gold bullion has increased significantly by citizens, especially those with large sums of money.
They have begun to save that money through these bullion instead of depositing their money in banks." He stated that "the reason why citizens resort to buying gold bullion to save their money is as a result of the weakness of the banking system, lack of confidence in this system, and fear for their money due to American sanctions.
This is why we see the majority of Iraqis turning towards gold bullion, especially in light of the
high prices of the yellow metal and the
stability of this price and
its lack of fluctuation like the dollar.".
From mid-December 2022 until now, the Iraqi dinar has continued to fall against the US dollar, until it reached the level of 1,610 dinars against one dollar at a time when the official price of the dollar is 1,300 dinars.
With the decline of the national currency and the rise in poverty and unemployment rates, Iraqi gold markets recorded a large demand from customers to buy the yellow metal amid warnings against buying counterfeit ones.
According to data from the specialized website “Bloomberg”,
Iraq bought 33.9 tons of gold in the year 2022, while the Turkish Consul General in Erbil Hakan Karaçay revealed that Iraq imported Turkish gold worth $1.5 billion during the year 2021.
Iraq's gold reserves witnessed a noticeable increase during the month of February 2024, as International Monetary Fund data showed that Iraq had increased its possession of the precious metal by 3,079 tons, bringing the total to 145,661 tons.

diversify its foreign reserves and
enhance financial and monetary stability in the long term.
This step by Iraq comes at a time when the world is witnessing a rise in gold prices, as the price reached its highest level in its history last month above $2,400 per ounce.
Many simultaneous factors are strengthening the record levels of gold,
especially in light of the escalation of geopolitical tensions around the world, and
in light of the state of “uncertainty” surrounding the global economy, which supports the trend towards the precious metal as a traditional safe haven in the face of market fluctuations and dire scenarios that impose themselves on the market. the scene.
Iraq is among the countries that possess large amounts of gold reserves in the Arab region, as
it ranks fourth after the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Algeria, and Morocco.

An Economic Expert Rules Out The Possibility Of Establishing A Sovereign Fund In Iraq... And Enumerates The Reasons
Time: 06/12/2024 15:24:35 Read: 1,638 times {Economic: Al-Furat News} An economic expert ruled out the possibility of establishing a sovereign fund in Iraq.
Salah Nouri, the former director of the Financial Supervision Bureau, told Al-Furat News Agency, “Sovereign funds are established to achieve mostly strategic development goals.”
He stated that "most of the sources of financing for sovereign funds for countries that possess natural resources are from the surpluses of these sources (oil and gas) or foreign exchange surpluses." He pointed out that
"the management of sovereign funds is independent and highly experienced in successful investment and developing fund returns." Nouri continued,
“From the above, I think Iraq is not prepared, as there are no surpluses from natural resources (oil and gas) for these funds.
Rather, revenues from the sale of oil are depleted in the general budget in addition to resorting to borrowing (external and internal).
On the contrary, Iraq is likely facing a financial sustainability deficit.” Borrowing results and benefits.
