🚀🌍 Iraq and the Path Toward a Major Economic Transformation

📊 In my view, Iraq is continuing to move forward with what appears to be a broad and strategic economic transformation aimed at strengthening the country and reducing long-term dependence on oil revenues.

🛢️ There are ongoing discussions about increasing non-oil revenues significantly, with some reports suggesting targets as high as 45%, which would represent a major shift in economic thinking and structure.

🏗️ At the same time, Iraq is advancing several large-scale national projects, including major infrastructure developments, trade routes, and port expansion initiatives such as the Port of Faw. These projects are part of a broader vision to modernize the country’s economic foundation.

🏦 Financial and banking reforms are also being mentioned as part of this transition, suggesting continued efforts to improve efficiency, transparency, and integration into global financial systems.

💡 From my perspective, what stands out is the direction: Iraq appears to be building multiple pillars for a more diversified economy, combining energy, trade, infrastructure, and financial modernization.

🌍 While the process is complex and gradual, the overall trajectory seems focused on long-term structural change and economic strengthening.

There is much progress being made in the planning for this radical economic transformation to bring Iraq in the direction we all need it to go.

My CBI contact has informed me that meetings are being held to discuss these plans now with the new prime minister, his finance committee and the US Treasury.

Article: “GOVERNMENT ADVISOR: NEW FINANCIAL STRATEGY TO RAISE NON-OIL REVENUES TO 45%”.

This is a huge amount. I especially like it because it gives us a benchmark to go by. We know already that Iraq has lowered already the dependence on oil but only by about 5-10% over the last couple decades. That’s not a lot of progress. So, this is going to be a drastic change, a huge change in thinking for Iraq.

Remember that they are moving ahead with the Development Road project, the port of Faw is already open and the ASCUNDA system it implemented and just needs to finalize districts in Kurdistan for full implementation. So lot’s of the ground work is already laid.We also previously learned about these Financial and Banking reforms and so my opinion is...it too is already mostly done... I will tell you...this can be done quickly if they get serious about it, which it sounds like they are...All we can do is sit back and see what they do.

📊🧭 Where Iraq Stands Economically Today: The “Intermediate Transition Stage”

📊🧭 Where Iraq Stands Economically Today: The “Intermediate Transition Stage”

After analyzing key real-world economic indicators, Iraq is best classified as being in an intermediate stage of economic transformation — not early-stage, but not yet a fully advanced diversified economy.

🟡 🛢️ 1. Still Oil-Dependent (But Stabilizing)

Oil remains the main source of government revenue
Budget planning is still heavily linked to oil prices

📌 This prevents Iraq from being considered an advanced diversified economy.

🏦 2. Financial System in Modernization

Banking reforms and digitalization are ongoing
Regulatory improvements are being introduced
However, financial inclusion is still limited compared to advanced economies

📌 Clear sign of transition, not maturity.

🏗️ 3. Private Sector Growing, But Not Dominant

Construction, trade, and import sectors are expanding
The government remains the largest economic driver and employer

📌 The economy is not yet fully market-driven.

🌍 4. Foreign Investment Is Increasing

Growing international interest in energy and infrastructure
Ongoing projects and partnerships are developing
Still limited by bureaucracy and regulatory risk

📌 Positive momentum, but not full-scale maturity.

⚖️ 5. Political Stability Improving

Better coordination between Baghdad and Erbil 🤝
Progress on budget and energy agreements
Some structural issues remain unresolved

📌 Stability is improving but not fully consolidated.

📈 6. Economic Diversification in Progress

Non-oil revenue initiatives are expanding
Reform efforts are ongoing
Oil still dominates the economic structure

📌 Diversification is underway, not completed.

🧠🧭 FINAL CONCLUSION

👉 Iraq is currently in an INTERMEDIATE ECONOMIC TRANSITION STAGE

It is:

✔️ More stable than an emerging fragile economy
✔️ Actively reforming its financial and political systems
✔️ Expanding investment and non-oil sectors

But still:

❌ Heavily dependent on oil
❌ Structurally incomplete in financial diversification
❌ Not yet a fully advanced market economy

🚀📊 SIMPLE SUMMARY

✔️ Functional and active economy
✔️ Ongoing reforms and modernization
✔️ Improving political stability
✔️ Gradual diversification
❌ Still oil-dependent
❌ Financial system not fully mature

👉 Result: INTERMEDIATE TRANSITION STAGE

NEW UNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN BAGHDAD AND ERBIL… AL-ZAIDI “IMPLEMENTS LONG-AWAITED KURDISH DEMANDS”

Wafa Muhammad Karim, a member of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, said on Monday (May 25, 2026) that the visit of the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region, Masrour Barzani, to Baghdad was very important, especially in light of the positive understandings with the government of Prime Minister Ali al-Zubaidi.

Karim told Baghdad Today that “there are many outstanding contentious issues between the governments of Baghdad and Erbil that have persisted for more than a decade and a half, but the current phase has witnessed practical steps to implement a number of demands, especially those related to the oil file and moving towards enacting the oil and gas law.”

He added that “the current moves also include fixing the region’s share of the budget and keeping the issue of salaries away from political wrangling, which the Prime Minister emphasized during his recent statements.”

He explained that there is “full support for the government of Ali al-Zaidi as long as it continues to implement the constitutional demands that he had previously emphasized during his visit to Erbil,” indicating that the agreements related to the oil file, the “Sycoda” customs system, and the state’s revenue shares, in addition to the return of oil companies to work in the Kurdistan Region, all need broad political and parliamentary support.

Karim pointed out that implementing Article 140 and guaranteeing the region’s share of the budget are an essential part of the ongoing understandings between the two sides.

He explained that Masrour Barzani held meetings with a number of political leaders from the Sunni and Shiite components, with the aim of rallying political and parliamentary support for the agreement concluded between the governments of Baghdad and Erbil.

He added that the regional government also submitted a proposal to Baghdad regarding the lighting project and support for electricity in Baghdad and other governorates, in addition to the governorates of the Kurdistan Region, noting that the Minister of Electricity was present during these moves.

He stressed that “the current indicators are very good,” noting that Masrour Barzani expressed his optimism about the new government, and considered that “the positive points in the relationship between Baghdad and Erbil have become more than the points of contention.”

Relations between the federal government in Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region have been marked for years by multiple contentious issues related to oil, gas, the budget, the salaries of the region’s employees, as well as the management of border crossings and the implementation of Article 140 concerning the disputed territories.

During the last phase, political calls intensified for finding lasting understandings between the two sides, given the need to strengthen political and economic stability, especially with the continued financial, energy and services challenges in Iraq.

BRUCE CC HIGHLIGHTS: INTEL ONLY

Transcribed By WiserNow (INTEL ONLY)

Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. It's Thursday, May 28th and you're listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for coming back to us tonight from all over the globe. We're happy to have you and looking forward to having a good call tonight.

Okay, let's get into the intel and see where we stand. The first thing is, you know, guys, I try to create a timeline, and I've told you time and time again that, of course, the information that we get works it changes. It's like a military operation, just when you’re ready to go, something changes, you know. I've heard that numerous times, but what we have tonight is the idea that, yes, whenever we get toward the end of the month, which is Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 3 days left in the month –

Could it go before the end of the month, as we've been told it should go, it will go, but guess what, I'm not sure we're going to see anything for us being tier 4B, even though we've heard things that would have possibilities for Thursday, Friday. Well, today's Thursday not happening, Friday maybe, but I'll tell you what could be happening, not for tier 4b but for Tier3 -- bond holders have been told that they should be receiving their emails.

I don't know if any of them got them today, but tomorrow, and my gut is it'll be probably over the weekend, and even if they get their emails that give them the amount, the ability to see the funds in their accounts, they still need to know when can they get access to those monies in their account and make when is it spendable.

One thing is kind of like if you're waiting for a buyer to come through and you see so much money that's pending, pending, but when it's available funds, when it is available to spend, to use a debit card, to write a check, to give cash, whatever it is you're looking for.

Well, I think this is what bond holders will be looking forward to, hopefully, if not tomorrow, then over the weekend. Weekend is the launch point. The weekend launch

Now. Remember, Saturday is the 30th, 31st is Sunday, the first is Monday, second Tuesday -- I think even if the bond holders get their emails that tell them they can go look at their accounts, they got their passcodes, they can dial it up, see how much they have. I think they're going to be waiting to have access to those funds when we are setting and going in for our exchanges.

It could be an absolute shotgun start between tier three and tier 4b but those of us here in the internet group in tier 4b don't expect go ahead of the bond holders, but we don't want the bond holders to necessarily have access to their funds before we get access to our funds, so it could be a complete shotgun start.

We're parallel to them when they get access, we get access, hoping that's how they're going to do it. The last time we talked, that was what their intention was, so we'll see how that, how that pans out over the next several days.

We know that everybody is basically under brand new, NDAs information is starting to dry up, and that could be a good thing, you know. When you don't hear from somebody, when they can't talk to you anymore, it's because we're that close, and you know we do get a little bit here and a little bit there, like I had for Tuesday night's call, but tonight nothing really new today, and nothing really to change what I just gave you, which is looking like we could get notified if possible over the weekend, but my gut is we won't get it this weekend, we'll get it on june 1st or 2nd , and then start exchanges the next day.

Why could, if we got it on Saturday, you know, if possible, but then when we set our appointments and start maybe Monday or Tuesday, I guess that's possible. It is possible, but I know how the weekend is sometimes, and I know how the end of the month is, and I know sometimes, well, we'll just start it on first or second of June.

Now when Jeannie was mentioning in her prayer and praise report about everything from R and R and Doge and our tariff dividends and all that, the latest thing I've got on that, which I think is a day old is that we're supposed to get NESARA initiated around june 4.

Well, let's see what day that is. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. That would be Thursday, a week from tonight.

Theoretically, we would be getting the beginnings or the first fruits of NESARA.

We've also heard a lot about july 4th

Well, the latest I got yesterday about July 4 was that's supposed to be the end of NESARA rolling out, in other words, from june 4 to july 4, NESARA could roll out. We should get the debt forgiveness that we've heard about. We should get the doge payments, and so on, that we've heard about everything that we talked about for months and months now.

I think is going to start off around the fourth of June and end on or by the fourth of July.

Now that's the assessment that I've received. All of this, of course, is some change, but we do believe that the ceasefire was extended with Iran. I just don't know if there's been anything new that has been put out anything new about that for this call. I look forward to getting more and better information on that tonight, the Thursday night.

Our next call is scheduled for Tuesday, the second of June, and I'm hoping we have our notifications by then, if so we'll celebrate with a celebration call on Tuesday night, so we're planning to have the call, but we'll see whether it's a typical intel driven call or whether it's a call for celebration. I hope it is

Now. What else is there that's out there?

I can't think of anything intel wise other than we know that the rates were populating on the screens, changing because they were flashing, not solid, and as far as we know, that is still the case. I know this much, the redemption centers were showing rates Tuesday that were changing, they were flashing, changing values, but where before we could talk to the banks or our redemption center leaders could talk to banks, now they're not able to do that, they are cut off from the banks, and they have new NDA’s -- new paperwork.

It's all coming together, but it doesn't look like we're going to get anything until the first couple of days of June, which would be Monday or Tuesday.

Now that's the last. Now, watch me get an influx of intel tonight, an hour after big call-ends that might morph all of this for right now. As it stands, Intel is, we're almost to the end.

Hang in there, stay positive, stay in faint for this, and say prayer for it. And for everything we prayed for tonight, there's a lot more that we obviously can pray for

So that's what I wanted to say tonight.

I want to thank Sue and Bob for a really important call tonight, and I want to Doug and GCK for all their help technically, and thank you for Pastor Scott.

Jeannie, thank you, as always, for your, your prayer requests, and kind of two in one, that is really good. I really, we really enjoyed those, and thank you, satellite team, for getting the call out all over the globe, and I know the last few calls have made it into Iran, so I'm happy about that.

And thank Big Call Universe for listening and tuning in. Be there for us every Tuesday and Thursday nights. We look forward to this coming to fruition, coming to an end. And make sure that you have your email, especially if you've changed. Let’s pray the call out

Thanks Everybody and we will talk to you next Tuesday night –
