TRUMP MUST FINISH THE JOB IN IRAQ, 18 feb

TRUMP MUST FINISH THE JOB IN IRAQ

February 16, 2025

By Yassn Fawaz

For almost two decades, Iraq was at the center of U.S. foreign policy, absorbing huge sums and costing thousands of American lives. Now, just a few years later, it risks fading into geopolitical obscurity—forgotten by the U.S. public and by policymakers as well. That would be a mistake.

Donald Trump built his brand on disrupting the status quo, whether in politics or foreign affairs. His first term saw major shifts in the Middle East, from the assassination of Iran’s Qassem Soleimani to the Abraham Accords between Israel and several Gulf and other Arab states. Now, he begins his second term with a clear inclination to shake things up again.

In that context, Iraq should be front and center. The government in Baghdad must be held accountable for harboring and legitimizing Iran-backed militias, the very forces that have destabilized the region for years.

As part of such a move, the regime in Iran would also be put in its place. For too long, Tehran has meddled in the affairs of Arab countries via a network of militias that it partly funds, supports, and occasionally directs. This so-called “Axis of Resistance” has suffered major blows in the past year because of the regional conflict sparked by the October 7 massacre in Israel by Iranian-backed Hamas.

Hamas is now badly degraded in Gaza. Hezbollah has been thrashed in Lebanon. Yemen’s Houthis, emboldened by Iran, face the real prospect of serious Western retaliation for their outrageous impeding of commercial traffic in the Red Sea. The Iran-backed Syrian dictatorship has collapsed.

STATUS OF THE RV , PART. 1, BY MNT GOAT, 18 FEB

 STATUS OF THE RV

I wanted to first summarize where we are now with this IQD reinstatement.

 I also want to give more insight as to what is holding up the RV and the Reinstatement of the Iraqi dinar. Folks its been 20 years already. Enough is enough!

But, if you have been reading my blog AND watching my presented videos all along, you can now CLEARLY see that there has been massive corruption in Iraq and with the US keeping the Iraq dinar artificially suppressed.

 Why did they do this? Let’s dig a little deeper into these causes today. In today’s news I give you a couple more interviews with Steve Forbes about the Feds actions.

 Do you really think the Feds want us to have all this money when they have been controlling the economy and any large fluctuation of prosperity in the US with interest rates and other measures. 

Do you think they want thousands of new millionaires? 

What makes you honestly think they want us to have all this money when their real intent is to destroy the U.S. and Canadian economies? All you need to do is listen to Forbes today and this comes very clear. I don’t know about you but I trust Forbes a hell of a lot more than all these intel guru idiots out there.  

Economic Sector:

So, knowing about all this corruption do you now see what is holding up the RV? I have been telling you about this for many years, but many of you have to see it to believe it. How can you deny it now?

I wish I could support Obama/Biden and their policies in Iraq but unfortunately, they were the source of the problems that plagued Iraq for about the last two decades. 

The  new president Trump has a new policy towards Iraq and it is beginning to take form. This recent move of stopping the physical dollar CASH flow to Iraq is apparent. 

As investors we now just have to hunker down and wait. This was a huge move and it will take time to shake out what paper CASH US dollars are already in the Iraqi economy. Again, I am telling you – THEY MUST BREAK THE PARALLEL MARKET AND DISSOLVE ILLEGAL VENDERS. I am presenting a very good recent article on this topic today and I am going to review it in detail.

☹ I was told many times already by my CBI contact that this crisis is at the heart of why the CBI can not set the in-country revaluation rate to what they need to conduct the Project to Delete the Zeros. The article it titled “FOUNDATION WARNS OF ‘PARALLEL BANKING SYSTEM’ AND ‘SHADOW ECONOMY’ IN IRAQ”.

 Okay, so this is not new   of the parallel market and its detriment to the “official” CBI rate. However in today’s new we dig deeper into this topic as economists are now telling us of some of the solutions to this crisis of the parallel market. Here are the solutions. I would think that if they concentrate on implementing all of these solutions and do it now they can finally combat this black marketing of the dollar:  

1.preventing unauthorized banking activities, and;

2.working to encourage small and medium enterprises to join the formal sector by providing attractive incentives, and;

3.legal frameworks can be put in place to regulate the work of informal financial institutions and place them under the supervision of the central bank to ensure a minimum level of oversight and:

4.In the most serious cases, the optimal solution may be to completely close unlicensed institutions and link all banking operations to formal institutions.

☹ Here is yet another article on this topic in todays news titled “MANAR AL-OBAIDI: THE SHADOW ECONOMY IN IRAQ EXCEEDS THE SIZE OF THE FORMAL ECONOMY”

The parallel banking system in Iraq is one of the major challenges that directly affects the stability of the financial system, as it consists of a group of financial institutions that operate outside the official framework and without supervision from regulatory authorities. Are you listening to me?

What these articles do not emphasize is that the CBI already outlawed the black market to some extent which includes those street exchangers working under illegal, unlicensed operations. 

Yes, you now have to be registered with the CBI to exchange currency outside the banking system. The are commonly called currency street venders.

 These non-registered ones are the ones they are worried about and can’t control. These are the culprits.

 In today’s news we also learn about the praising of the CBI in all it’s other efforts to reform the banking institutions and establishing the international banking relationships.

MILITIAMAN: Iraq has done all the things NEEDED to BE IN compliance with THE IMF!!

 

REGIONAL OIL: THE PATH TO RESUMING EXPORTS AND ITS NEXT STAGES: NEW HOPES ON THE ROAD TO ECONOMIC RECOVERY, 18 FEB

 REGIONAL OIL: THE PATH TO RESUMING EXPORTS AND ITS NEXT STAGES: NEW HOPES ON THE ROAD TO ECONOMIC RECOVERY

Former member of the Natural Resources Committee in the Kurdistan Parliament, Jihad Hassan, commented today, Monday (February 17, 2025), on the statements of the Minister of Natural Resources in the regional government regarding the resumption of the region’s oil exports.

Hassan said in an interview with Baghdad Today, “This is an economic step that will revive the economy of the region and Iraq in general, and the matter was dependent on Baghdad and Ankara, as the region has been ready for a long time to export oil without any obstacles.”

On the other hand, the expert and advisor on oil affairs, Govind Sherwani, confirmed that “the President of the Republic signed the amendment to Article 12 of the budget law related to the allocations for production and transportation of the region’s oil, and this issue was the obstacle to resuming exports.”

In an interview with Baghdad Today on Monday (February 17, 2025), Sherwani said, “The law will come into effect after its publication in the Official Gazette, and with regard to the technical aspect, a delegation from the Federal Ministry of Oil visited the region to review the technical aspects.”

He added, “It is expected that within a week or the end of this month, the technical arrangements will be completed, and export will become possible. It is certain that the previous quantities, which are 400 thousand barrels per day, will not be, because these arrangements and the rehabilitation of the oil wells that were left for two years require a long time, and it may take more than 3 months to reach the previous rates.”

He pointed out that “the beginning will not be less than 250 thousand barrels exported daily, and it is possible that within a month or two, exports will return to 400 thousand barrels, and this is a new resource to raise the public treasury, especially since this oil can be marketed to European markets without any obstacles.”

At the beginning of 2025, new developments came in the amendment of Article 12 of the budget law, which paved the way for the resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region. This step is considered an important solution to a legal problem that was hindering oil exports, and provides the region with an opportunity to enhance its economic revenues by exporting oil to global markets, especially European ones.

Despite the technical challenges facing the process of resuming exports, such as rehabilitating oil wells that have been out of service for two years, experts expect that the export process will begin in limited quantities, with the possibility of gradually increasing them in the coming months.

"FOUNDATION WARNS OF 'PARALLEL BANKING SYSTEM' AND 'SHADOW ECONOMY' IN IRAQ" 

"The Iraqi economist Al-Mustagbal warned, on Saturday, of the danger of the parallel banking system, which constitutes about 84% of the "informal" economy in the country,
