Weekend News with MarkZ 

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:  Morning Mark, Mods, Patriots and Gurus!

MZ: We talk to Matt and Lucas for awhile and then dive into the news from the week around 40 minutes into the podcast.

Member: Rumors out there that Iraq has already RV’d and posted the rate in the Gazette.

MZ: It is not in the Gazette yet…..they have not done it yet…..someone is crying “wolf” to soon…imo

MZ: But….the chatter has been over the top including the bond side this weekend. 

MZ: Most of my bond folks are looking for it this coming week with an outside date of Oct. 8th…but…..some of those bond folks were late to the bond game and were told they would go “post RV” meaning those bond folks late to join the line would go a few days after the event. 

MZ: Group leaders are really not saying much. 

MZ: The chatter in Iraq right now is for a rate change early in the week . there is a lot of reporting out there that it has already happened but I can tell you (from contacts on the ground over there) that it has not occurred yet…..the frenzy is whipping up for certain but, it has not gone yet. 

MZ: Nader was pointing that out as well that it is not in the Gazette yet. He also believes there are no redemption centers-just banks. This is one of those things that is just “terminology” . 

MZ: When I say redemption centers ….I am saying this is a bank with specially trained staff  and equipment to verify currency on premises….so we don’t have to send it off to be verified. That’s what I call redemption centers. Maybe I should start calling them “redeeming banks?” 

MZ: So a redemption center is a bank in the region …in your area…that is specially equipped and set up with the people who have been trained to handle it.   This difference in terminology causes a tremendous amount of confusion. 

Member: Mark has always said these are locations set up by the banks for our privacy and security…maybe in offices at bank branches or empty buildings to use during our 30 day exchange process…….maybe some on military bases but still with the banks….

Member: If I hear “this is our week” one more time I;m going to burst with frustration. 

MZ: Noone knows the exact date….they cloud things on purpose. But things look great and there is a “potential” for it to happen soon…..

MZ: MilitiaMan also did a great video for certain. I haighly suggest everyone support and share these intel providers.  I will work on having him on again early in the week to compare what he has heard with what I have heard. 

MZ: “Iraq to reopen embassy in Vietnam” . This is good news and showing their ties. Vietnam and Iraq are both major trading partners and of course we expect both currencies to revalue at the same time….

MZ: Going back to the video MilitiaMan did…”A natural place in the international Community”  Reopening embassies is important….If Iraq is going to be international player…they are going to need an “International Currency”

Member: Is Sudani back in Iraq?

Member:  Militia man posted an article this am in Patreon that Sudani is already back in Iraq

MZ: I heard he would be back in Iraq late this evening or early tomorrow.That is from my sources…Still waiting for confirmation. A lot of people in Iraq believe that is when we will see the rate change. It sounds plausible to me and I am very hopeful that is the case. 

MZ: “Iraq’s Prime Minister talks to CNN about the future of his country’s relationship with the US”  So they are starting to cover stories like this even in the MSM. This is showing Iraq is coming to the world stage. 

Member:  Wanting to know what Canadian Banks deal with RV?

Member: Most likely RBC, Bank of NS maybe CIBC or HSBC but won't know for sure until it happens

Member: Any work on the rate of the Venezuelan bolivar…

MZ: Not yet , but it is interesting that they came out with a new series of notes….with less zeros on it. I will bring the article over first thing on Monday morning….for these new notes to have value – their currency value on the bolivar is going to have to change substantially for them to use those “Venezuela unveils new currency with 6 fewer zeros”  

Member: Just like Iraq and their new lower denominations…..

Member: I wonder if there will be trillionaires after the RV?

MZ: What I was told is (from someone at the top) that it will create a bunch of Millionaires…and .a handful of Billionaires …..that is what I was told. I do not expect the Zim rate to be 1 to 1 with the US dollar. Zimbabwe also uses the term dollar….but a Zimbabwe dollar is worth far lass than a US dollar but it causes a great deal of confusion. But the payout will still be exciting and amazing. The Zim still has tremendous potential….

Member: You thought one Zim 100T note would be worth 30 million US dollars at one point….that is so amazing. 

Member:  Saturday- Banks and online payment systems will suffer an outage in Europe and the United States spreading worldwide. Talks of a Liquidity and credit crisis happening will spread rapidly.

Member:  Late-Sunday night Euro-zone banks will suffer a liquidity issue and fail critical margin levels.

Member: Remember that old Bloomberg article that said one Saturday night when all the banks worldwide are closed….they will change the rates and we would all wake up some Monday morning to a whole new world…..maybe tonight is that night. 

Member: May everyone have a great weekend! Stay positive…..

Member: God bless..and everyone stay safe.

Its inability was exposed.. The Central Bank’s procedures confuse the Iraqi monetary sector, 23 SEPT

 Its inability was exposed.. The Central Bank’s procedures confuse the Iraqi monetary sector

On Friday, economic expert Ziad Al-Hashimi highlighted the challenges faced by the Iraqi monetary and banking sector. He pointed out that the Central Bank’s pressure measures, which apply to all banking companies without differentiation between compliant and defaulting ones, create confusion in a monetary work environment that is not managed or monitored accurately and clearly by the central bank.

Al-Hashemi, speaking to “Jarida”, highlighted one of the key challenges faced by the Iraqi monetary and banking sector. He pointed out that the Central Bank and local banks have been unable to create an effective and appealing banking environment with competitive costs that can earn the trust of citizens. The sector needs to provide flexible and smooth banking services that encourage citizens to deal with banks instead of resorting to exchange companies for cash services.

He went on to say that the Central Bank has not yet been able to establish clear and specific standards for evaluating the work and performance of exchange companies, which makes it difficult to distinguish between compliant and negligent companies.

According to the economic expert, the Central Bank’s pressure measures were applied to all banking companies, causing harm and restrictions even on those who adhere to central controls and maintain a high level of compliance.

Al-Hashimi stated that a lack of accurate and clear management and monitoring by the Central Bank creates confusion and uncertainty in monetary business environment.

"RV UPDATE" BY JSSMI765 , CLARE & WALKINGSTICK, 23 SEPT

  jssmi765 

 As I was looking through all my old Dinar related documents, I came across one from 2012 which listed all the things that needed to take place for the RV to happen. Interestingly, it is only within the last few of weeks/days that everything that was listed has finally been completed...

I also found an old document from 2011 which was a Q & A with someone at Treasury who was one of the original planners of the RV. It was the reason I became a true believer back in the day...This is real people...It's time.

Clare 

 Article: "House Foreign Affairs Committee will hold a hearing next week on repealing the law that made the 2003 Iraq invasion possible"  Quote: 

 "The hearing, scheduled for 10 am next Thursday, is expected to address both the repeal of the 2002 authorization of the use of military force (AUMF) against Iraq and the replacement of the 2001 AUMF, according to one person familiar with the planning."

Walkingstick  

 [Iraqi Banking friend Aki update]  The ATMs are ready to go with the 'new currency'.  The CBI was talking with the private banks on when to bring them online.  No date was given at the meeting.  But they will be notified when to bring these new ATMs online...

Pimpy 

 Potential good news for Iraq that could affect the Iraqi dinar...to me it is a good sign and it is good news...  

Article:  "The US House of Representatives will hold a session next week to cancel the authorization for the invasion of Iraq"  This here is a biggie...There's pros and cons to this...the cool thing is - if this authorization is reversed this would give Iraq their full sovereignty.  That means they're on their own.  There's no more training wheels.  There's not more kit gloves...this could have both a positive and negative impact on the currency...

Al-Sudani meets with the American Chamber of Commerce and reveals a set of visions and plans

Shafaq News/ Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani held, on Thursday evening (Baghdad time), a meeting with members of the American Chamber of Commerce, in the presence of a number of businessmen, investors, and representatives of major American companies.

Al-Sudani stated that Iraq is a fertile land for investment in many important sectors, and there are natural resources that have not been invested yet, and the time has come to invest them in a way that achieves prosperity for the Iraqi people and contributes to strengthening the strategic relationship with the United States.

The Prime Minister delivered a speech during the meeting, the highlights of which are the following:

Our government invests revenues correctly to activate important economic sectors other than oil, as it is not possible to continue to rely on oil to strengthen the budget and cover obligations, as was the case throughout the previous stage.

The wrong path in wasting burned gas will stop within 2-3 years, after the completion of the gas projects that began with Total and the Emirati and Chinese companies in the fifth round.

We announced 11 fields and exploration blocks in the governorates; Anbar, Nineveh, and Najaf, which include natural gas that will be invested for the first time in Iraq’s history.

Economic reform is a priority, and it cannot be implemented without the presence of an effective and capable private sector that is a partner with the government.

We focused on providing a favorable business environment for foreign companies in general, and American companies in particular, by virtue of the capabilities they possess, and also within the path of the vision for the partnership between Iraq and the United States.

The relationship between Iraq and the United States cannot remain limited to the security aspect.

The business environment in Iraq requires a great effort to reduce bureaucracy, and we have the decision and will to stop corruption through legal measures, and companies cannot be made vulnerable to blackmail or red tape.

Every project and file related to a company will be personally sponsored and followed up by us, and we will work to overcome all obstacles you face.

We are working to reform the tax system and the customs system, and we are currently preparing a draft economic reform law that addresses loopholes in several laws.

We have a draft system to regulate e-commerce, and the government is committed to protecting intellectual property, and we approved a draft law that was sent to the House of Representatives for a vote.

We are working diligently on the draft electronic payment law, and we have made great strides in financial and banking reform, through our relationship with the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury.

Today we have clear and transparent trade subject to global compliance standards in money transfers.

The Ministry of Commerce, through the Commercial Attaché in Washington and with the US Trade Representative Office, is working to hold the meetings of the third session of the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, in the first quarter of 2024.

The function of this agreement is to identify the challenges facing trade and investment relations between Iraq and the United States.

We call on all American companies to present the challenges they face in their presence and work in Iraq.

To develop solutions for it.

We supported the private sector in the budget law, through the Iraq Fund for Development, whose capital reaches $750 million during 2023, and in 2024 we will add an additional amount.

We are currently conducting understandings with Arab and international investment funds, specifically with the Saudi Investment Bank, where we have a partnership in this aspect.

The government will provide sovereign guarantees in the budget law to establish industrial and agricultural projects in Iraq.

We have understandings with the German Hermes Foundation and the Italian Sochet Foundation, and they are prepared to provide production lines to important laboratories and factories in the industrial sector in exchange for 15% from Iraqi businessmen and 85% provided by the government as a sovereign guarantee.

A delegation of Iraqi businessmen toured Germany and Italy and identified factories, and is currently in the process of reaching understandings to implement these projects that were chosen according to market requirements.

We want to achieve a real shift in health services, and we have a health insurance law, and we have a new philosophy that represents a transitional stage for implementing this law, through joint operation with companies specialized in providing health services.

We offered 6 hospitals and we hope that there will be American companies specialized in providing medical and therapeutic services in operating these hospitals.

The size of the pharmaceutical market in Iraq is approximately $3 billion annually, with national production representing only 10%, and the rest is imported.

The Council of Ministers issued a package of decisions to support pharmaceutical producers, and today there are more than 245 requests to establish production lines for the pharmaceutical industry.

We are strongly moving towards using modern irrigation techniques to confront water scarcity.

There are arable areas and an attractive environment, but they need specialized technologies and companies to develop this sector.

We concluded contracts with Emirati, Chinese, and Iraqi companies to establish solar power stations, and we concluded a contract with Total to generate 1,000 megawatts of solar energy.

Dinar RV Breaking News🔥Iraqi PM Sudani Delivers Speech at UN General Ass...

Iraqi Dinar News, RV & Investment in Iraq – Taxation and Possible New Rates, 23 SEPT

 Iraqi Dinar News, RV & Investment in Iraq – Taxation and Possible New Rates

A meeting took place between the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and several private banks on the past Monday and Tuesday, focusing on discussions around ATMs and what has been termed as the “new currency”.

It is crucial to note that neither the lower denominations nor the LDs have ever been referred to in such a manner previously; they have always been termed distinctly.

This terminology clearly implies that the CBI is conveying to the public that this “new currency” is not the older series of notes that had three zeros, but rather, it is a note of lower value.

This communication reveals significant insight into the CBI’s current stance and the evolving landscape of currency denominations within the region.

A recent article highlights Austria’s optimistic outlook on Iraq, citing, “Austria sees opportunities as Iraq returns to stability.”

This comes amidst debates and speculations on Iraq’s readiness to return to currency, given the prevailing conditions in the country.

The pertinent question arises – Why would foreign countries, including Austria, show interest in investing in Iraq if it isn’t truly stable?

The signs of Iraq’s emerging stability and the ensuing international interest are becoming increasingly evident.
