"QFS CONVERSATION " WITH GOLDILOCKS: "IRAQ IS NOT READY YET" , 20 JUNE

 GOLDILOCKS

"Almost two-thirds of countries in the Middle East and Central Asia are exploring adopting a central bank digital currency as a way to promote financial inclusion and improve the efficiency of cross-border payments.

Adopting a CBDC, however, requires careful consideration. Countries across these regions, spanning a diverse group of economies stretching from Morocco and Egypt to Pakistan and Kazakhstan, each must weigh their own unique set of circumstances.

Many of the 19 countries currently exploring a CBDC are at the research stage. Bahrain, Georgia, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates have moved to the more advanced “proof-of-concept” stage. Kazakhstan is the most advanced after two pilot programs for the digital tenge."

Per conversations Dee, Sam, and I have had with our CBI contact, Iraq will be using CBDC for Cross-Border Trading.

BAGHDAD, June 18 (Xinhua) -- The Iraqi government on Tuesday has decided to return all Iraqis from the al-Hol refugee camp in Syria, the official Iraqi News Agency (INA) reported.

Karim al-Nouri, deputy minister of the Ministry of Migration and Displaced, told the INA that the "total number of refugees in the al-Hol camp is more than 50,000 people from different countries, including 20,000 people from Iraq."

He said that the Iraqi government had established a high-level committee to scrutinize the security situation of the refugees.

Al-Nuri also said that those returning from the al-Hol camp would go through community rehabilitation programs at the al-Jada'a camp in Iraq's northern province of Nineveh, stressing that about 3,000 people so far have returned to their homes in Iraq, according to INA.

The al-Hol camp is known to be housing refugees, with a significant number of them being family members of IS militants. ■

Parliamentary Finance: Iraq Needs To Be Liberated From Oil Power In The Field Of Revenues, 20 JUNE

 Parliamentary Finance: Iraq Needs To Be Liberated From Oil Power In The Field Of Revenues

 June 12, 2024  Baghdad/Iraq Observer   Member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Moeen Al-Kadhimi, confirmed that although Iraq possesses all the elements that enable it to  advance its economy and   liberate itself from oil power in the field of revenues,  it lacks unity of decision and vision in the field of directing the economy to its correct destination.

Al-Kadhimi told Iraq Observer,  “There is a major imbalance in the Iraqi economy.

If we continue to rely on oil as the country’s sole resource, as approximately 90% of the country’s revenues are derived from it, then this dependence is not guaranteed, given that the oil wealth is not stable in price in global markets, in addition to “The wise countries are moving towards non-oil revenues.” He added,   “There are already steps taken by the government,  but they are not at the level of ambition to increase revenues, including encouraging internal industry and agriculture.

 Also, the fact that the border crossings remain without control, especially those in the Kurdistan region, is one of the most prominent reasons behind the faltering of the internal industry, as the national product remains without protection from the government.”. He continued,

"The increase in non-oil revenues, customs, border crossings, taxes, and all services provided by the Ministry of Electricity and other service ministries must be offset by these huge amounts spent on the ministries, revenues that strengthen the state's balance and treasury in light of the annual budget, in addition to initiatives to support the private sector and investment that... “It would attract and absorb large numbers of labor.” He pointed out that

  “Iraq has the qualifications to start with non-oil revenues,

 but the system that the economy has followed since 2003 and

     what was imposed by the occupation and the

     destruction of the infrastructure of most factories and the

     failure to solve the problem of electrical energy until now

is considered the main obstacle to the launch of the private sector in the various fields that support The Iraqi economy is important and essential revenues.” He concluded by saying,

 “An example of this is what happened currently in self-sufficiency in wheat, and

the wheat crop has now reached 6 million tons of production for this year, but

in return it cost the government approximately more than a trillion dinars, considering that the government took the initiative to buy a ton at a rate of 150 thousand dinars in support of farmers, while in   If it is imported, it reaches the governorates at a price of 400 thousand dinars.

 Therefore, the issue of reforming the Iraqi economy requires a

      government decision,

     parliamentary support, and

     support from the political blocs, in addition to

     understanding from the popular bases.

THE STRUCTURED PAYOUT SYSTEM , 20 JUNE

 Wed. 19 June 2024: QFS, NESARA, XRP, and Stellar – THE STRUCTURED PAYOUT SYSTEM – Redemption Rate = The Amount Paid For Each Zim Dollar – American Media Group (amg-news.com)

• Redemption Rate = the amount paid for each Zim Dollar. This process is better described as “cashing in your bonds.” You, as the bearer of the Bond, demand payment in cash value for the face value of the bond multiplied by the negotiated Rate. This is the redemption process. A “transaction” is required to activate any Digital Gold Certificate in the Quantum Financial System (QFS). This redemption process qualifies as a “transaction,” and activates the Digital Gold Certificates when put into our QFS accounts.

• Term = the number of years you will receive Structured Payout payments; 10, 25, 50, 100 years, or however many years you want to be approved by your Counselor at the Redemption Appointment.

• Structured Payout = a system put in place to provide Humanitarians a consistent cash flow for their Humanitarian activities for the full Term they choose at the Redemption Appointment. The total amount of funds to be paid out over the term you choose is put into a QFS Structured Payout account in your name in the QFS. Your Structured Payout payments come out of that account. The Structured Payout process is administered by the Alliance.

• Primary Principal = the figure you get from the Redemption Rate times the number of Zim Dollars you redeem or cash in. THIS IS NOT THE AMOUNT DEPOSITED INTO YOUR QFS ACCOUNT.

• Secondary Principal = the amount deposited in your Structured Payout Account in the QFS at the Redemption Appointment. It is the total amount you will receive over the term of the Structured Payout period. Your Structured Payout payments come out of this account. This Structured Payout account is administered by the Structured Payout staff within the Alliance. You will not have access to this account.
