Will cash paper dinar coincide with the digital dinar?
Article: “RAFIDAIN BANK DEPLOYS ATMS AT 5 STATIONS IN BAGHDAD”
Why would they deploy yet more ATMs now. Don’t forget also the hundreds of ATMs deployed throughout Iraq in the past.
Why would they do this if not still expecting to use cash at some level.
Article Quote: “Rafidain Bank announced the deployment of automated teller machines (ATMs) at a number of stations, allowing customers to conduct withdrawals and deposits easily and safely..."
So, now we see the ATMs would only be needed if there is still a need for cash.

Member: Happy Thursday and good morning Markz and everyone
Member: What state is everyone in? I'll start: I’m in the state of confusion…lol
Member: Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Said from the back of my RV station wagon!
MZ: Lots of rumors floating around….Rumors have pretty much called it every night for about 2 AM for the last 3-4 days. We seem to be in some kind of holding pattern .News is not flowing like it was. We know we are close and we know people have been moving into position. Paymasters, bond holders , currency holders groups…. all seem to be in position. All we can do is sit and wait.
Member: Waiting on the RV--I feel like that old Ketchup Commercial, sitting here singing " Anticipation, Anitic-a-pay-ay-tion... its making me wait!"
Member: We are sitting on the bench waiting for the coach to tell us it’s our turn to play.
MZ: Exactly
Member: it's hard to understand why they r playing this “hold on” game. if they have given traveling money that means they r putting holds on private jets costing 1k to hold
MZ: No updates on CMKX, farm claims and prosperity packages.
Member: Mark, Will there be a need for FDIC when we exchange?
MZ: Supposedly we are not supposed to need the FDIC because your money will be held as “ledger” and covered. It is my understanding that instead of covering $250K…..we will be protected and covered to infinity…and beyond.
Member: Spot gold hit $3,060 this morning...down a little now....Siler is up to $35 now
MZ: in Iraq: “Sudanese advisor talks to Al-Jabal about the reason for delay in sending the 2025 budget schedules and the date of their arrival to parliament” They have handed it off to parliamentary members now so they start working on it in the committee. They will have a vote on these tables soon. There are many articles out about this today.
MZ: “ The second phase of the Jordanian-Iraq electricity interconnection project is nearing completion.” They are going through with the plan to remove any dependence on Iran. This is part of that.
MZ: “ Maximum Pressure: Iran’s Rial hits record low due to US sanctions” The Iranian rial fell to $1 million 39 thousand against the US dollar. So one dollar buys over one million rial now. No idea if Iran will be in our first basket or not.
MZ: “Zimbabwe may scrap US dollar for local transactions without notice” They just may drop the dollar and promote using the ZIG . This is part of sovereignty and part of Nesara/Gesara and working towards parity with each country. .

SANDY INGRAM : White House Pressuring Iraq - Israel Pressuring U.S.? #iqd
Summary
The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East are intensifying as Iraq navigates a precarious situation concerning its relationship with the United States and Israel.
Recent reports have indicated that Israel is threatening military retaliation against various factions within Iraq, particularly those aligned with Shiite armed groups known as the Islamic Resistance.
The US government, under President Donald Trump, has put pressure on Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia Al Sudani to dismantle these factions, viewing them as a direct threat to US interests in the region.
The escalation has occurred against the backdrop of ongoing conflict in Gaza, where Israel recently resumed military actions resulting in a significant number of Palestinian casualties. As a result, Iraqi officials are attempting to engage in diplomatic dialogue to de-escalate tensions, but the US continues to push for immediate action against these Iranian-backed groups, which have been involved in attacks targeting Israel.
Simultaneously, Iran has increased its involvement by sending its commander to Baghdad to support Iraqi Shiite factions and reaffirming that any Israeli attack on Iraqi soil would prompt Iranian retaliation. Within Iraq, Shiite leaders have begun to issue warnings about the need for restraint, emphasizing that responses to external threats should be guided by religious authorities.
The situation is further complicated by Iraq’s involvement with Yemen, where US military officials have warned that any support provided by Iraqi resistance factions to Yemen’s Ansar Allah (Houthi movement) may lead to military action by the US within Iraq. This rapidly evolving conflict risks pulling Iraq deeper into a broader regional war, raising concerns about the stability and security of Iraq as well as the potential impacts on its economy and foreign investments.

Key Insights
🌐 Complex Web of Alliances: The interconnectedness of conflicts in the Middle East presents a unique challenge for Iraq. The relationship between the US, Israel, and various armed factions in Iraq is fraught with tension, and the dynamics are often influenced by outside political motivations—evidence of how alliances can become liabilities.
🏴 US Interests vs. Regional Stability: The US commitment to pressuring Iraq into dismantling armed groups illustrates a broader strategy to maintain dominance in the region. However, this approach risks the stability of Iraq, as it could incite resistance among the populations that support these factions, potentially leading to internal strife.
📈 Economic Investment at Risk: With the threat of military conflict looming, the security and stability of Iraq are jeopardized, which could drastically affect international investments in the country and its economic growth prospects. Investors typically seek stable environments, and the current tensions could deter foreign investment, thereby impacting Iraq’s economic future.
🔄 The Influence of Iran: Iran’s strategic involvement in Iraq displays the larger role it plays in Middle Eastern geopolitics. By supporting Shiite factions, Iran aims to solidify its influence in Iraq, positioning itself against US interests, and demonstrating how external powers can manipulate local conflicts to further their geopolitical aims.
🛑 The Role of Shiite Leadership: The stance taken by Shiite leaders, advocating for restraint and adherence to religious authority for external responses, signals an intention to prevent a militaristic escalation that could spiral out of control. This internal division may impact how cohesive Iraq’s response can be to external threats, which complicates diplomatic efforts.
🔗 Regional Conflict Spillover: The warnings directed at Iraq concerning its relations with Yemen’s Houthis highlight a concerning trend where conflicts in one area can rapidly become entangled with conflicts in another. The potential for Iraq to be drawn into a wider regional conflict underscores the volatility of the Middle East and the challenges facing national sovereignty.
⚖️ Ethical Dimensions of Conflict: This escalation and the associated civilian casualties raise serious ethical questions regarding military engagement in the region by both US and Israeli forces. The heavy toll taken on civilians during military operations elicits global scrutiny, potentially affecting international diplomatic relations and interventions in such conflicts.

PARLIAMENTARY WARNING OF THE REPERCUSSIONS OF DELAYING NON-OIL REVENUES ON THE IRAQI ECONOMY.
The Parliamentary Economic Committee called on all ministries to expedite the payment of their non-oil revenues to the Ministry of Finance, while warning of the repercussions of continued delays on the national economy and the financial pressures that could affect the implementation of development plans.
Yasser Al-Hussaini, a member of the Economic Committee, said in an interview: “The Ministry of Finance is making exceptional efforts to ensure cash liquidity, but it faces challenges due to the delay of some ministries in transferring their non-oil revenues, which leads to confusion in government spending plans.” He pointed out that “these revenues constitute an important source for strengthening the general budget and reducing dependence on oil revenues, especially in light of global market fluctuations.”
Al-Hussaini added that “the resumption of government projects, whether investment or service, is directly linked to the availability of financial liquidity, which makes commitment to paying dues essential to ensure the continuity of work in various sectors.” He explained that “providing liquidity is not the responsibility of the Ministry of Finance alone, but rather an integrated process that requires the commitment of all government agencies to transfer their non-oil resources according to the specified deadlines.”
Al-Husseini pointed out that “cooperation between ministries on this issue contributes to reducing financial pressures and ensures the implementation of vital projects needed by citizens.”
He explained that “the government, through the Ministry of Finance, is working to take measures to facilitate the activation of non-oil revenues, including enhancing transparency in the management of public funds and monitoring non-compliant entities, with the aim of achieving the required financial balance.” He stressed that “the current phase requires everyone’s cooperation to ensure economic stability, especially with the challenges facing global markets and their impact on the local economy.”
Al-Husseini concluded his remarks by saying: “We call on all ministries and government institutions to commit to transferring financial dues according to the specified timetables, as this has a positive impact on the national economy and to ensure the continuity of services and projects that benefit citizens.”
HOW IRAQ PLANNING TO ELIMINATE THE PARALLEL MARKET BY 2025
In 2025, Iraq implemented significant measures to eliminate the parallel currency market and reinforce the stability of its currency, the Iraqi dinar.
One of the most notable actions was the decision to permanently close the dollar auction system, officially known as the Foreign Currency Sale Window and Electronic Platform.
This measure, announced by Ammar Khalaf, deputy governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, was aimed at reducing dependence on the black market and increasing transparency in currency transactions. 964media
To replace the auction system, a new mechanism was established in which traders must deposit their funds in Iraqi dinars in local banks that maintain relationships with foreign correspondent banks.
These banks, in collaboration with US financial institutions, monitor and verify transactions, ensuring compliance with regulations and reducing the risk of fraudulent activity. 964media
In addition, the digitalization of financial services was promoted, facilitating electronic payments and reducing the need for cash transactions, which contributed to reducing black market operations.
These reforms sought to strengthen the Iraqi banking system, improve transparency, and stabilize the dinar exchange rate.
Although these measures represented important progress, some challenges remained.
For example, the lack of correspondent banking relationships at certain local banks made it difficult for all merchants to fully implement the new system.
However, most economic actors adapted to the new environment, contributing to the reduction of the parallel market and the strengthening of the national economy.
TRANSLATION IN SPANISH
En 2025, Irak implementó medidas significativas para eliminar el mercado paralelo de divisas y reforzar la estabilidad de su moneda, el dinar iraquí.
Una de las acciones más destacadas fue la decisión de cerrar permanentemente el sistema de subastas de dólares, conocido oficialmente como la Ventana de Venta de Monedas Extranjeras y Plataforma Electrónica.Esta medida, anunciada por Ammar Khalaf, vicegobernador del Banco Central de Irak, tenía como objetivo reducir la dependencia del mercado negro y aumentar la transparencia en las transacciones de divisas. 964media
Para reemplazar el sistema de subastas, se estableció un nuevo mecanismo en el cual los comerciantes deben depositar sus fondos en dinares iraquíes en bancos locales que mantienen relaciones con bancos corresponsales extranjeros.Estos bancos, en colaboración con instituciones financieras de Estados Unidos, supervisan y verifican las transacciones, asegurando el cumplimiento de las regulaciones y reduciendo el riesgo de actividades fraudulentas. 964media
Además, se promovió la digitalización de los servicios financieros, facilitando pagos electrónicos y reduciendo la necesidad de transacciones en efectivo, lo que contribuyó a disminuir las operaciones en el mercado negro.Estas reformas buscaban fortalecer el sistema bancario iraquí, mejorar la transparencia y estabilizar el tipo de cambio del dinar. Vocal
Aunque estas medidas representaron avances importantes, algunos desafíos persistieron.Por ejemplo, la falta de relaciones de corresponsalía bancaria en ciertos bancos locales dificultó la plena implementación del nuevo sistema para todos los comerciantes.No obstante, la mayoría de los actores económicos se adaptaron al nuevo entorno, contribuyendo a la reducción del mercado paralelo y al fortalecimiento de la economía nacional
