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 Monday morning everyone. Hope you have a blessed day

Member: magical Monday you beautiful people

Member: What news do you have for us today Mark?

MZ: Well, a number of Iraqi sources are saying Iraq is now keeping their oil revenue meaning Chapter 7 Announcement soon that it is completely over, done and signed……They think this is an excellent sign and I think they are right.

Member: There is so much positive news about Iraq being international that they can’t stay with 1310 much longer??

Member: I understand they have started showing the ads for the lower notes and Sudani came on the TV and said the educational phase is almost complete...(Frank 26)

MZ: I don’t know if they are showing ads yet…but they have certainly talked about it. I am trying to get pictures from some people over there that work in banking. They are educating people on them. Sudani made the comment at the end of last week that during his administration they expect to revalue and increase the purchasing power of the dinar.

Member: i read that the CBI said the rate would change by end of 2024.

Member: The question is how long will Iraq take to educate the citizens on the lower notes.

Member: Mark- MM had done a great job again last night and leading to our soon to be party.

Member: I heard Reno is on fire

MZ: Yes there are fires in the Reno area…I do not think it’s important to us or the RV…It is not unusual to see fires this time of year.

Member: I can't even poke my head out the door becuz of wildfire smoke today...worst ever

MZ: The biggest piece I had over the weekend was more confirmations of continuing education of the lower denominations in Iraq. I had a couple more confirmations that Sudani announced on television that they are planning to raise the value of the dinar during his currency administration. I thought that was a great one.

MZ: Another big one over the weekend is any folks are commenting from Iraq that they now have control over their own oil revenues. If this is a fact it means that bills have been paid and we are about to see the official announcement that Iraq is out of chapter 7. This is huge. We know they met all the requirements some time ago. But it now appears they now have full control of their oil revenues. This is a huge piece….We just need an official announcement…before we can set up the band and have a party.

Member: I thought that happened months ago……hmmmm Must have been fake news then

Member: mark last Saturday I walked into my bank to get cash and saw some pallets of what looked to be new equipment…. make me excited

MZ: Today is congress first day back to work and they are facing a government shutdown on Sept 30th.

Member: Mark- Is your gut still screaming between the 11th and the 15th?

MZ: Yes it is….I know that chatter from Iraq has been fantastic.

Member: Maybe 9-11 will be our big day?

Member: I’m afraid we have to wait until after elections.

Member: I am still holding out hope for Oct. 1st which is the first day of the new fiscal year here in the US….

Member: I can’t wait until all of this is over.

MZ: I will be traveling back stateside tomorrow….for kids birthdays ect…..Zester will be hopefully filling in for e this week.

Member: Thanks to all for the encouragement…..have a wonderful day.

DINAR REVALUATION REPORT: Potential Lifting of Ban on Iraqi Banks Within Six Months, 10 SEPT

Potential Lifting of Ban on Iraqi Banks Within Six Months

As of September 9, 2024, a significant development in Iraq's financial sector is anticipated, with the possibility of lifting the ban on 14 Iraqi banks that were previously prohibited from conducting US dollar (USD) transactions. 1 The ban was initially imposed due to concerns over illicit activities, including money laundering and the potential redirection of US currency to sanctioned individuals or jurisdictions. However, recent assessments suggest that the banks' compliance mechanisms and regulatory oversight have improved, paving the way for a potential reversal of sanctions. 2

The Impact of the US Dollar Ban on Iraq

The imposition of the ban in recent years has had a significant economic impact on Iraq, affecting the Iraqi dinar's stability and leading to a tightening of wire transfer controls between the US Treasury and the Central Bank of Iraq. This, in turn, caused a decline in the value of the Iraqi currency. 1 The USD plays a crucial role in the Iraqi economy, and the ban's effects were felt across various sectors, particularly in trade and investment.

Iraq's Strides Towards Economic Stability

The financial advisor to Iraq's Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, has highlighted the role of the central bank's decisions in reducing inflation rates and enhancing the value of the national currency. 2 Salih emphasized that sustainable economic growth, driven by high productivity, good employment, real investment, and innovation, is essential for the currency's strength. Moreover, technology and innovation are seen as key factors in improving productivity and economic growth, which can, in turn, enhance the currency's value.

Reforms and the Future of Iraqi Banking

Despite ongoing challenges, including corruption within the banking sector. 3Iraq's financial system has shown signs of resilience and improvement. The potential lifting of the ban on Iraqi banks is a testament to the Iraqi government's efforts to reform and stabilize its economy. However, the effectiveness of these policies in confronting real economic challenges and the ability of the Iraqi economy to achieve sustainable growth remain subjects of ongoing debate and scrutiny.

Conclusion

The anticipated lifting of the ban on Iraqi banks within six months signifies a positive step forward in Iraq's economic recovery and financial stability. This development reflects the progress made in addressing previous concerns over illicit financial activities and underscores the importance of continued reforms and improvements in the banking sector.

Economist: The Ban On Iraqi Banks May Be Lifted Within Six Months, 10 SEPT

Economist Ahmed Abd Rabbo revealed today, Sunday, that

Oliver Wyman has conducted a comprehensive review of the conditions of Iraqi banks, and its report may be issued after six months.

Abd Rabbo said in a special statement to the Maalouma Agency,

“The decisions of that company regarding the sanctioned banks will be binding on the Central Bank of Iraq and the US Federal Reserve,” noting that

“reforming the banking system facilitates the process of economic reforms.” He continued,

"The company's final report may lift the ban on Iraqi banks, while it was positive," pointing out that

"lifting the ban on Iraqi banks will help support the Iraqi economy."

It is noteworthy that America imposes several sanctions on Iraqi banks in an attempt to pressure the Iraqi government to pass various policies. https://almaalomah.me/news/75810/economy/اقتصادي:-الحظر-على-المصارف-العراقية-قد-يرفع-خلال-ستة-اشهر

DINAR REVALUATION HIGHLIGHTS: " IRAQ IS IN THE FINAL STAGES OF THE MONETARY REFORMS

Coffee with MarkZ. 09/10/2024

Thank you MarkZ for all your time, and encouragement daily….. PDK

MarkZ Update- Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim

Member: Good Tuesday Morning Mark Z, Mods and RV’ers !

Member: Really could use some Hopium today. Hard to watch everything play out, but we still sit here and wait. I wish I were better at patience.

MZ: I think this is important and setting the stage for a fantastic move and possible clouding the reason why??? From the Wall Street Journal . “ Iraqi Banks used US-created system to funnel funds to Iran” Iran does have a tremendous amount of influence in Iraq. Now what are they going to do? They feel they have to crack in on this….If they do this- dinar may drop by at least 10% and the US dollar will be more in demand.

MZ: In a news article from Baghdad today- “ It will turn the parallel market upside down-Sources: Expected decisions from the Central Bank will confuse markets and raise exchange rates” When they say raise exchange rates…they are talking “in the wrong direction” So if one US dollar now equels 1310 dinar ….it will go to one US dollar equels 1500 dinar or so. So what they are going to do is have an auction on US dollars. They are planning on injecting ore US dollars into the markets and buy dinar off of the streets. “To help support the exchange rate” is the claim. And to help clean up the sanctions and oney laundering….

MZ: Think about this. It will hurt the value of the dinar temporarily…..but allows them to buy it at a discount through major auctions. Suck trillions more dinar off the streets …What a great prep going into a re-valuation. It will help them justify a higher value. This may be major for us.

MZ: This is my theory and I think it makes sense.

Member: Sounds like bad news to me….like they won’t RV for weeks now.

MZ: If auctions are immediate- they could be ready in a day or two. I believe they will move forward quickly on this.

MZ: Also the Iranian President is coming to Iraq tomorrow for some talks….this comes on the heels of the articles about Iraq funneling funds to Iran.

MZ: Remember Sudani said just last week that they plan to revalue this year during his administration….I think the timing is great and they are setting the stage.

Member: Remember- by the time we see Iraq news it was already done and we are getting it after the fact?

Member: Mark-any word from your banking, bond or group connections??

MZ: Bond people are still quiet this week. They are still waiting.

Member: I feel sorry for all the bond people that are asked to travel only to be told SOON

Member: I think the Bond people are like us …like the Boy who cried wolf….the PTB lie to them constantly…..and we/they no longer believe anything.

MZ: “Illinois Trucking Company with 480 drivers abruptly ceased operations” They are contracted with the US postal service to haul mail. They are ceasing operation as of Monday and now there will be many postal trailers sitting at docks as of next week.

Member: What is all the chatter about National Guard Troops in every major city?????

MZ: We are seeing very unusual movement with the National Guard in major cities. We don’t know the reason why….but lots of theories out there.

Member: Maybe because tonight is supposed to be a presidential debate?

Member: Wish it was because we need security when we exchange …sigh

Member: Maybe they are finally starting to clean house……start arrests?

Member: Is it our military holding things up? So it seems!!! Every other country is ready to go!!! What’s up with that?

Member: I really hope the RV goes with Nesara/Gesara so we can all be blessed at once

Member: Amen to that.

Member: Mark can you go over your podcast schedule this week?

MZ: I will be off to the airport for a trip stateside right after this podcast. Going to see my children for their birthdays…I will continue to do mornings…..Zester will be filling in some evenings this week …. There will be no Whiskey and Wisdom this week

Member: Zester is a chip off the old block and is quite knowledgeable.

Member: Safe travels Mark….and have a great trip.

Member: Markz… may your trip be uneventful & your visit exciting & relaxing!

Member: Everyone stay positive…..and keep the faith

Member: Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

DINAR REVALUATION REPORT: Iraq's Monetary Reform: Nearing Completion in 2024, 10 SEPT

Iraq's Monetary Reform: Nearing Completion in 2024

Overview of Iraq's Monetary Reform

Iraq is in the final stages of a significant monetary reform that began in 2024. 1This reform is part of the broader economic measures designed to address the country's fiscal challenges and reduce its heavy dependence on oil revenues. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been closely involved in the process, providing guidance and financial support.

Economic Growth and Fiscal Expansion

The Iraqi government has projected continued economic growth, supported by fiscal expansion. 1 This expansion is critical, as it aims to cushion the economy against medium-term vulnerabilities, particularly the increased risk of oil price volatility. To ensure fiscal sustainability, the government is focusing on controlling the public wage bill and increasing non-oil tax revenues.

Challenges and Opportunities

Iraq faces significant challenges in diversifying its economy and modernizing its financial and banking sectors. 2 The country's history of conflict and political instability has hindered economic development and private sector growth. Corruption remains a pervasive issue, and the lack of basic services is widespread. However, the government's commitment to the monetary reform presents an opportunity for Iraq to stabilize its economy and lay the groundwork for more sustainable growth.

Budget Approval and Economic Policy

In a notable development, Iraq's parliament approved a three-year federal budget for 2023 to 2025, the largest in the country's history. 5 This budgetary decision is ambitious but also precarious, given Iraq's heavy reliance on oil revenues. The government's ability to fund local investment projects and hire public sector employees is a positive sign, but the volatility of oil markets and Iraq's limited influence in global oil dynamics pose challenges to its economic stability.

Humanitarian and Development Context

Iraq continues to grapple with the aftermath of conflict, including internal displacement and inadequate public services. 4 Despite this, the country has made some strides in human rights and social development, with efforts to combat corruption and improve government services. 6 The government's focus on the five key issues of corruption, unemployment, poverty, economic reform, and service improvement is crucial for addressing the grievances of Iraqi citizens.

Outlook

As Iraq nears the completion of its monetary reform, the country stands at a critical juncture. 1 The reform's success will depend on the government's ability to implement fiscal adjustments, enhance private sector development, and navigate the challenges of economic diversification and political stability.

DINAR REVALUATION : RV HIGHLIGHTS!!!

DINAR REVALIUATION REPORT: Emphasis on Reducing Inflation and Strengthening the Iraqi Dinar in September 2024, 9 SEPT

Emphasis on Reducing Inflation and Strengthening the Iraqi Dinar in September 2024

In September 2024, Iraq faces significant challenges in managing its economy, particularly in the areas of inflation reduction and strengthening its national currency, the Iraqi dinar. 1 The country's heavy dependence on oil exports has left it vulnerable to global price fluctuations, exacerbating inflationary pressures and impacting the value of the dinar. 3

Struggling with Macro-Economic Volatility

Iraq's reliance on oil revenues, which account for over 99% of its exports, 85% of the government budget, and 42% of its gross domestic product (GDP), has exposed the country to macro-economic volatility. 2 This dependence has been a double-edged sword, fueling economic growth during periods of high oil prices but leading to severe budgetary constraints and economic instability when oil prices drop.

Government's Fiscal Challenges

The government's budget rigidities have restricted fiscal space and the ability to implement countercyclical policies during economic downturns. Inflation has been a persistent issue, impacting the living standards of Iraqis and complicating fiscal management. 4 The IMF has noted that domestic inflation declined to 4% by the end of 2023, partly due to the currency revaluation in February 2023 and the normalization in trade finance, but imbalances have worsened due to the large fiscal expansion and lower oil prices. 5

Efforts to Strengthen the Dinar

The Iraqi dinar's value has become a contentious issue, especially after the Central Bank of Iraq devalued the currency in December 2020 in response to the sharp decline in global crude prices. 4 The devaluation led to immediate increases in the prices of imported goods, affecting the purchasing power of ordinary Iraqis and sparking political debates.

The IMF's Perspective

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has projected that Iraq's economy will grow by 1.4% in 2024 and accelerate to 5.3% in 2025. 5 However, the IMF has also emphasized the need for ambitious fiscal adjustments to stabilize debt in the medium term and rebuild fiscal buffers. 6

Future Outlook

Iraq's ongoing fiscal expansion is expected to boost growth in 2024, but at the expense of further deteriorating fiscal and external accounts, making the country more vulnerable to oil price fluctuations. The IMF has warned that without policy adjustments, the risk of medium-term sovereign debt stress is high, and external stability risks could emerge. 5

US Troops to Withdraw from Iraq by 2026: What It Means

DINAR REVALUATION REPORT: Preliminary Agreement on US Troop Withdrawal from Iraq by 2026, 9 SEPT

Preliminary Agreement on US Troop Withdrawal from Iraq by 2026

On September 7, 2024, Reuters reported that the United States and Iraq have reached a preliminary agreement on the withdrawal of US-led coalition forces from Iraq, with the majority of troops expected to depart by the end of 2026. 1The plan, which has been broadly agreed upon but awaits final approval and a formal announcement, would see several hundred troops depart by September 2025, with the remaining forces set to leave by the end of 2026. 1

Agreement Details and Timeline

According to sources familiar with ongoing negotiations, an agreement has been reached, and it is now a matter of when to announce it. 1 Discussions are underway to establish a new advisory role that could see a smaller number of US troops remain in Iraq following the drawdown. 1

An official announcement was initially expected weeks ago but was delayed due to regional tensions stemming from Israel's war in Gaza and remaining logistical details. 1 Technical negotiations between Baghdad and Washington, initiated by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani in January 2023, have concluded. 1

Bilateral Cooperation and Shift in Relationship

Farhad Alaaldin, the prime minister's foreign affairs adviser, said the talks marked a shift in the US-Iraq relationship, emphasizing future bilateral cooperation in military, security, economic, and cultural sectors. 1 Alaaldin did not comment on the specifics of the plan. 1

The agreement follows months of rising tensions, including attacks by Iran-backed Iraqi militias on US forces, which have killed three American troops and injured dozens more. 1 US forces have retaliated with airstrikes, complicating efforts to stabilize Iraq after years of conflict. 1

Current US Presence in Iraq

The US currently has 2,500 troops in Iraq and 900 in neighboring Syria, part of a coalition formed in 2014 to combat the Islamic State. 1 Although Islamic State has been territorially defeated in Iraq since 2017, US officials argue that their presence helps counter Iranian influence in the region. 6

Under the new plan, coalition forces would vacate the Ain al-Asad airbase in Anbar province and scale back their presence in Baghdad by September 2025. 6Troops are expected to remain in Erbil, in northern Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, until the end of 2026 to assist with operations. 6

Impact on Regional Tensions

The withdrawal of US troops could potentially impact the regional power dynamics, given that the US military presence in Iraq has been instrumental in keeping Iran and Iran-backed militants in check. 3 Some observers believe that their departure could have significant implications for the security situation in the region. 3

Topic: IRAQ and Troop withdrawal BY GINGER TELEGRAM ROOM, 9 SEPT

💢Part 2/2 - Wonderful help from Helicopter Lady, Liberty Lounger Extraordinaire.

Topic: IRAQ and Troop withdrawal - 9.8.24

💢 Helicopter Lady: Hello dear Ginger: The good news is that Reuters has announced that Iraq and the US have come to a preliminary troop withdrawal agreement starting November 2025.

It means that we are finally close to an official announcement.

The date of November 2025 deadline solves 3 problems:

1. Iraq can make an "official announcement"

2. It gives them 15 months to pay the US for all the infrastructure projects that the Americans completed during the oversight period and military occupation

3. It allows the WTO now to proceed with the next step in accrediting Iraq's membership.

There is another reason why this is very good news! Trump wants to make a point that even while our US troops are leaving in a friendly way, it still takes a year to get them (and our equipment) home safely. I think he is building the story so that he can use it as a contrast with how (carelessly) Biden withdrew the troops from Afghanistan willy nilly: in just one week, causing all sorts of upheaval, including getting people killed during the process.

President Trump wants the Americans to see the difference. Maybe it is timed like this to bring it up during the debate on Tuesday between President Trump and Kamala. I don't see how Kamala can last 1 1/2 hours under Trump's stare. 💥👀💥

💢 Ginger adds: I feel really great about this USA Troop withdrawal announcement and even the timing of it. It's not discouraging to me in the least bit. I don't foresee at all that this will delay the financial reforms and "The Camper Event".

We heard news many months back, which I brought to you, explaining that the withdrawal of USA military was slated for next year. Plus Al Sudani used kinda forceful words insisting the military depart the region, but this is also kind of a way to "save face", like we don't need you anymore! We are sovereign now! But behind closed doors, at the same time, you can imagine him saying, "Hey, could we get a little help for just a little while longer?" - knowing Iraq is about to go through an incredible transformation - right?

I explained last Fall that the troops were going to begin a slow, scheduled, safe and intentional departure but they would leave about 1000 military members behind for ongoing safety needs. This is the crew which will help oversee security and stability and training for Iraq during and after their transition period.

We also told you about a retired Special F0rces Marine, from where we live, who was tasked to return to the sandbox as a contract worker to train other military, new and incoming to the sandbox, on security protocols and procedures for the region, because he was already well-experienced in that department. My gut tells me that he's equipping those final one thousand troops so that the others, those who've been there the longest, get to begin the rotation to come on home. This allows Iraq to "save face", maintain some extra security and safety standards for all those who will be traveling there and exchanging - plus the removal of any remaining bad actors who cause trouble before, during and after Iraq IQD rate change occurs.

I just want to be clear that Iraq isn't going to need to hold off their RI/RV until the last of the troops withdrawal in November 2025. ➡️ The USA can still get paid, the USA troops can begin a scheduled, calculated and planned departure; and the remaining skeleton crew - bare minimum needed for securing safety during the transition - can all happen before next Fall 2025.

Hope this helps and brings you as much encouragement as it does for me! This is when you know you "can see the light at the end of the tunnel" and be super thankful that it's not an on-coming train 🚂! 😛😁😆😂
