While being a member of the WTO is important. listing on the FOREX is much more critical to us waiting to exchange and with the various potential valuations being suggested we will need to see if the RV rate is initially published on the front screen or the back screen for the CBI to allow for there to be a float upwards in value which IMO would be beneficial to us to realize a greater value, but either way we would realize a gain over cost of acquisition.

ByZoran Spirkovski
MAY 7, 2024
As 2024 unfolds, the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) has released a comprehensive report detailing its accomplishments in the first quarter. The period was marked by significant milestones, including the launch of smart contracts on the network and a remarkable growth in asset value, reflecting Stellar’s increasing influence in the blockchain sector.
The year began with Stellar implementing smart contracts through its new platform, Soroban. This move is poised to revolutionize Stellar’s ecosystem by enhancing functionality and developer engagement. Moreover, the total value of real-world assets held on Stellar reached an impressive $533 million, underpinned by a substantial $1.6 billion in total payments volume processed this quarter. Stellar continues to offer extremely low transaction costs, averaging $0.000065, maintaining its position as a leader in cost efficiency.
Smart Contracts on Stellar: The Soroban Era
Soroban represents a significant leap forward for Stellar, providing a robust, Rust-based environment tailored for developing scalable and sensible smart contracts. This platform not only advances Stellar’s technological framework but also significantly expands its utility and appeal to developers.
The surge to $533 million in assets highlights Stellar’s growing role in financial services, especially through the tokenization of assets. This process enhances liquidity and market efficiency, presenting new opportunities for investment and asset management within the financial sector.
SDF’s efforts have been pivotal in enhancing financial inclusion, with a particular focus on facilitating access to financial services globally. The forthcoming Meridian 2024 conference, scheduled for October 15-17 in London, is set to celebrate these achievements and unveil future initiatives.
In its quest for global expansion and improved security, SDF has been actively engaging with the global community and strengthening its technological stack. A notable initiative is the Soroban Audit Bank
, which supports security audits for projects on Stellar, ensuring that Stellar remains a secure and reliable platform for all users.
Why It Matters: Stellar’s Strategic Vision
Stellar’s strategic initiatives are shaping a financial landscape that is more inclusive, efficient, and secure. The deployment of smart contracts and the expansion of asset tokenization are just examples of how Stellar is unlocking the potential of blockchain technology to foster a more connected and accessible financial world.
In conclusion, Stellar Development Foundation’s first quarter of 2024 has set a robust pace for the year. With smart contracts live and assets growing, Stellar is poised to further its mission of transforming the global financial landscape, making it more inclusive and efficient through blockchain technology.
Sudanese Advisor: The oil sector is witnessing a rapid renaissance
Economy News - Baghdad
The financial advisor to Prime Minister Mazhar Mohammed Saleh explained on Tuesday the positive effects resulting from the export launch of natural gas derivatives, while the oil sector is witnessing a rapid development renaissance.
Saleh said, in a statement followed by "Economy News" that "models of economic progress depend on export resources in order to advance the reality of development," noting that "work to diversify the economy is through the diversification of raw material products exported within high value-added chains that reflect positively on the current account of the balance of payments."
He added that "the export launch of a specific type of natural gas derivatives and the development in this direction has two important effects, including the optimal exploitation of some aspects of natural gas resources, which have been wasted by burning, especially the gas associated with oil production, as well as gradual mitigation and compensation for the cost of gas currently imported for specific purposes and used as fuel to operate electric power plants, which depend on natural gas derivatives itself."
He pointed out that "the oil sector today is witnessing an accelerated development renaissance, whether in diversifying products from crude oil or associated gas and natural gas, and generating high flexibility in the attribution of the country's financial resources, whether towards replacing imports of oil and gas products or promoting exports from them according to the calculations of balance between costs and benefits from import and export activities for various types of oil and gas derivatives," noting that it is "the optimal balance base that will be in the interest of the national economy, especially maximizing the country's financial revenues."
Article: "Iraqi Council of Ministers approves the 2024 budget schedules"
The next step would be to take those schedules and deliver them to the House of Representatives. If we see that, that's going to be powerful because everybody's gonna be biting their nails because it could very well suggest something could happen prior to that happening. It's a nail biter...
Article: "Specialist: Floating the dinar is economic suicide"
Them bringing up exchange regimes obviously...they're going to do something because why talk about it if it's not going to change. You don't.
Non-oil revenues...Iraq has the largest sulfur deposit in the world. They can tap into that. It's going to be part of their non-oil revenues. The amount of natural resources Iraq has is off the charts. Anything that suggests they can't afford to do what they're going to do and go to a market economy I think is highly mistaken.
