MZ: Some interesting historic bond stuff. I am hearing comforting things from the bond side and this is coming from many sources….that historic paperwork –especially on the Asian bonds was sent to the Hague.
MZ: I am also hearing the only reason the RV did not go over the weekend was fights over the value of some old German bonds. But things are now “unstuck” and seems to be moving much quicker now that the current administration is no longer delaying things . They are too preoccupied to keep slowing and stopping things right now.

I am...hearing the only reason the RV did not go over the weekend was fights over the value of some old German bonds. But things are now “unstuck” and seems to be moving much quicker now that the current administration is no longer delaying things . They are too preoccupied to keep slowing and stopping things right now.
I know of a lot of banks with meetings…Are they preparing for a banking crash? Are they preparing for a Re-valuation? What are they preparing for?
I don’t think it’s a banking crash because they keep opening up wealth management offices? To me it makes more sense that they are preparing for a revaluation.
There is so much going on this morning. There are all these rumors that they have the rate - but we can’t go to the bank yet. So take them with a bit of salt...
Folks in Geneva and the WTO are dead quiet. If they are trying to keep the RV quiet like Kuwait-they may be trying to keep the WTO news quiet until they have taken some of us in…and announced things publicly.
The world is now moving with rapid steps racing with the wind in the role of stocks supporting monetary policies, especially since the old classical theories considered that stock markets are not among the tools of monetary policy. This concept reflected a traditional understanding where monetary policy focused on tools such as interest rates, monetary facilities, and banks’ cash reserves.
The development of theories and the difference in models of economic studies differ with the development of research, studies and the financial market from one country to another. It is difficult to make a theory applicable to all countries and different economies, from emerging economies to more complex economies. Because of this dialectic based on trying to understand and establish the nature of the relationship between financial markets and monetary policy, which has become more evident in many countries.
Stock markets have become part of the general economic strategy of governments and central banks, especially after the introduction of the idea of cryptocurrencies and digital banks, as they directly affect consumption, investment and economic confidence.
Iraqi market
In the case of the Iraqi model and long years of economic stagnation as a rentier economy that relies primarily on oil to finance its annual budgets and the state of price speculation on the stability of the dollar exchange rate in local markets or what is known as the parallel dollar situation, we can 🤔 look at the Iraqi Stock Exchange as a tool supporting monetary policy and influencing the state of the rentier economy. This is done through:
1- Encouraging local and foreign investment. The stock market can be a quick and important means of attracting local capital, especially cash in circulation, and trying to return it to banking incubators and investing it in short-term investments through price maneuvers on the shares of emerging companies listed on the Iraq Stock Exchange or long-term investments by pumping these cash blocks into the shares of profit generating companies, which are companies that regularly achieve rewarding annual financial profits, thus enhancing the idea of withdrawing the accumulated cash liquidity and returning it to banking incubators in a way that reduces immediate and temporary speculation on the parallel dollar in the local market.
It also creates real opportunities for foreign capital moving between emerging markets to enter, which provides them with the opportunity for quick entry, profitable investment and safe exit.
2- Diversifying the economy from excessive dependence on oil. The stock market can be used to encourage local and international investments in sectors that create greater economic diversity than usual and a state of rapid sales and price maneuvers for shares of promising companies in Iraq.
3- Absorbing liquidity The stock market can play an important role in absorbing excess liquidity in the economy, which helps control inflation. This depends on the ability of the Iraqi market to be quick in price transactions from buying and selling through the shares of the companies listed in it and pressuring brokerage firms to apply and activate the latest smart systems and phone applications for daily sales and contracts executed in it, as well as encouraging the publication of financial data for Iraqi companies on international platforms that encourage understanding the culture of Iraqi company shares.
One of the most important economic theories that support that financial markets can be an effective tool in monetary policy is the Wealth Effec theory, which is summarized and almost consistent with understanding the dialectic of the Iraqi economy and the stock market economy.
More consistent with the Iraqi model is the Wealth Effect Theory, written by Gregory Mankiw. Its summary is that the rise in the value of financial assets among individuals gives them an incentive to withdraw money and re-inject it into purchasing new assets and stocks in order to increase wealth and gives them a feeling of wealth, which prompts them to spend on consumption and develop the national economy.
In conclusion, all these theories and studies support the idea that financial markets can be an effective and successful tool in achieving economic stability and enhancing growth, especially in emerging markets such as Iraq. If the Iraqi stock market is exploited in the right way that attracts local and international investments, it can help diversify the Iraqi economy and create new opportunities that drive economic integration in Iraq, making the Iraqi Stock Exchange a valuable tool for monetary policies. link

The banking system in Iraq is gradually regaining citizens’ confidence with the increase in the number of bank accounts in the country.
Banking systems around the world are facing increasing challenges in light of rapid economic and financial changes. To ensure the stability of these systems and protect depositors’ funds, many countries are moving towards joining the International Association of Deposit Insurers. This membership is not just a formality, but a strategic step that carries significant benefits for member countries and their banking systems.
In Iraq, economic and political challenges over the decades have provided a strong justification for keeping money at home rather than in banks. However, the accession of the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Corporation (ICDI) to the International Association of Deposit Insurers was a decisive step in improving confidence in the banking system. Since its accession, Iraq has witnessed a significant increase in the number of bank accounts and the volume of deposits, reflecting a significant improvement in citizens’ confidence in banks. This development enhances Iraq’s ability to attract investment and support economic growth by converting savings into productive investments.
In a world characterized by increasing economic and financial interdependence, countries cannot operate in isolation from each other. Membership in international deposit insurance bodies reflects countries’ commitment to international cooperation and exchange of expertise, and confirms their relentless pursuit of financial stability and the protection of depositors’ funds. This membership is not just a formality, but a strategic investment in the future of the banking system and the national economy as a whole.
