Mod:  GOOD MORNING ALL! HAPPY SATURDAY! CBD MATT AND LUCAS KICK OFF THE FIRST 45 MINS AND MARK GIVES THE NEWS UPDATE AT 10:30 AM

Member: ​​Good morning everyone!! Welcome to the weekend… Hope everyone has an amazing day!

Member: I love Roller Coasters - especially when they stop!

MZ: I do have some Wealth management/redemption contacts working tomorrow. I know a couple will be landing in a redemption area on Tuesday and they hope it’s to work and start 4b exchanges. They are trained to help with tier 4b. 

MZ: There is a lot of hopeful movement out there. Let’s see if they actually get to do something. 

Member: Boards are saying IQD going on Forex by Tuesday ... don't we RV first ?

Member: Mark, you got any information on bond movement or groups?

MZ: I do have some bond folks that have received some dollars. Not nearly enough have gone yet to release things to us. Not nearly enough large groups and large numbers of people have been completed yet. But money is moving …people have real dollars…..so to me it’s clear things are underway. I just don’t know why things are not moving faster????  

MZ: In the banks – they are starting to see rates populate again. They are telling me for the last 24 hours rates would fluctuate between $4.05 to $5 on the dinar. Don’t know if that is the real value or a placeholder….but many think that is where the dinar value should be. I would be perfectly content with that.

Member: That would be beyond wonderful…..

MZ: There is a also a very large US delegation will soon be arriving in Iraq. Roughly around Tuesday 

Member: Looks like Tuesday could be a very big day. 

Member: There is a rumor that 4b transactions have begun in Japan and south Africa?

MZ: I tried to confirm this but cannot find anyone in those markets that say things are happening. 

MZ: “90 Trillion dinars are kept outside the banking system. What impact does it have on this economy?” They have taken almost half the dinar printed out of circulation over the last few years. They have greatly reduced the amount all around the world. 

Member: I wonder if that 90 trillion includes us dinar holders ?

MZ:  Yes I wonder how much of that is held by us and is not in circulation? A lot is stuck under mattresses or in you and I’s safes and closets. When they revalue…all that dinar that is held all over the world (Which is an enormous amount of money.) they want back in circulation. An RV would fix this.  

MZ: Also : “ Electronic payment team in Iraq to Rudaw : 21 million cards distributed so far” A lot of digital banking going on right now. This is about half the population. 

Member: Al-Sudani hands over the full completion of 1,000 schools in many governances!

Member: DOW yesterday still ended higher than on 4/30/24 (37,815.92). BTW- if tariffs hurt the economy why do 150+ Countries have them on US Products...

MZ: That is a good question.  They already have tarrifs on us and tell us not to do them. Our tariffs are equal to what they charge us or less….many are less than half. There is a lot of brainwashing and psychosis going on in main stream media. There is a complete disconnect between them and logic and common sense 

Member: I heard Wall Street is blaming Trumps tariffs on the correction. It isn’t even below 2023 levels.

Member: the markets are completely overreacting to tariffs.

​​Member:  I read last night that Viet Nam went to 0 tariffs to USA 0 tarrffs on them!

Member: I asked A.I.  about the tariffs and if it could result in currency revaluations with gold or asset backed currencies. It gave some great answers that showed me Trump is heading that way.

Member: I heard subsequent baskets of currency revaluations will only be available to accredited investors? 

MZ: That would not surprise me. But the good news is that after all of this…you guys will be accredited investors. 

​​Member: Who else’s family thinks that the RV is pie in the sky never going to happen?

Member: I would bet most of us have “unbelievers” in our circle of families and friends.

Member: I am going to unplug about 99% when this rv finally goes. I am so tired of hearing about it at this point, but I know it's going to happen

Member: Everyone enjoy your weekend. Perhaps it’s our last weekend broke!!!

Member: My 2-week notice is ready to go …my finger is itching to push “send” 

Member: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ALL THOSE CELEBRATING TODAY OR TOMORROW!!!

Experts: Iraq’s finances at risk from oil plunge, Trump’s tariffs, 6 APRIL

Experts: Iraq’s finances at risk from oil plunge, Trump’s tariffs

Shafaq News/ Iraq risks falling short on public sector salaries due to a sharp drop in global oil prices and the impact of new US tariffs that threaten state revenues, several economists warned.

Global oil prices have declined sharply, with Brent crude falling to $65 per barrel and US crude to $62, following increased OPEC+ production and US President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs on foreign goods.

Economist Hilal Al-Taan told Shafaq News that 93% of Iraq’s budget is tied to oil, and any significant drop threatens revenue stability. He urged the government to revive the agricultural and industrial sectors to reduce imports and limit the outflow of hard currency,

 calling for the identification and removal of “ghost employees” from state payrolls and cutting unnecessary expenditures.

To avoid a crisis, he suggested internal borrowing from banks or the central bank. “If that’s not enough, Iraq will be forced to seek external loans, risking renewed debt burdens,” he pointed out.

Prime Minister Mohammed Al-Sudani’s financial adviser Mudhir Saleh revealed that salary-related spending accounts for about 65% of Iraq’s total budget, with wages alone costing around 62 trillion dinars ($47.3 billion) annually.

“Trump’s tariffs reflect deeper US inflation and could trigger a global recession, which will push oil demand and prices even lower,” he stated, noting that while Iraq can manage salaries with oil at $50–55 per barrel, anything below that would severely strain public finances and delay investment projects.

Fnu Lnu: Response to Guru Mnt Goat , 6 APRIL

  Fnu Lnu   Response to Guru Mnt Goat 

  UST, sourced...Iraq will be using the dollar just as they always have as the USD is how OPEC nations buy and sell oil. 

 It is unavoidable. The auctions have not stopped...They will sell USD and use USD to pay for goods and services they get from the United States. That's what reserve currency accounts are for. This is basic International trade protocol.

Mnt Goat 

  ...I do not believe for one second, they intend to use the US dollar anymore for trade in the near future, actually they just told us this recently, so we know it's now a FACT.

 They told us they will be using their own currency – the digital dinar. If this ain’t a WOW! I don’t know what is…lol...But how can they do this without the IQD on FOREX...

Qasim Al-Sultani: Iraq does not suffer from a cash liquidity shortage., 6 APRIL

Qasim Al-Sultani: Iraq does not suffer from a cash liquidity shortage.

Economic researcher Dr. Qasim Al-Sultani confirmed that there are no concerns about employee salaries in Iraq, noting that the Iraqi state has sufficient cash liquidity.

Al-Sultani said during his participation in the program "Iraqi Affairs", which airs on Al-Masra TV, that through our vision of the Iraqi economy since 2003 and the building of a democratic system in Iraq, we believe that there must be an economic system that suits the existing political system in the country. He added,

 "However, unfortunately, our economic system can still be considered lame, because it is a rentier economy that relies on one source, which is oil." He stressed the need to exploit natural and non-natural resources to diversify the Iraqi economy.

Qasim Al-Sultani: The Iraqi economic system is lame.

Regarding civil servant salaries and concerns about their availability, Al-Sultani stressed that salaries are fully secured until the end of the year, despite the delay in approving the current year's budget.

He noted that the parliamentary finance committee expects the budget to be approved during April.

Al-Sultani pointed out that Iraqi governments after 2003 were unable to implement development projects, noting that the security situation that followed the regime change hindered their implementation. He also noted that the emergence of ISIS and the fight against terrorism also impacted the Iraqi economy, emphasizing that the government must now develop sound economic plans in all areas.

Qasim Al-Sultani: Employee salaries are secured until the end of this year.

Al-Sultani stressed the need to pay attention to the agricultural sector in the country, pointing out that the efforts of some political parties to provide funds to their supporters has made citizens refrain from cultivating their lands.

 He stressed the need to use scientific methods to exploit agricultural lands in light of the scarcity of rain and water, stressing the need to develop sound agricultural development plans, stressing the need for the government to work on revitalizing the agricultural and animal husbandry sectors according to the existing capabilities through which the Iraqi economy can be strengthened through the agricultural sector.

Qasim Al-Sultani: The government must now develop sound economic plans.

Regarding the lack of liquidity in the country, Al-Sultani said that some people did not understand the matter, and that a misunderstanding occurred due to the United States’ talk about not transferring the Iraqi funds it has in the US Federal Bank to the federal government. He pointed out that this is not the case and that there are contexts for dealing between the Central Bank of Iraq and the US Federal Bank. He stressed that the necessary funds are available to Iraq, and that there is nothing official regarding stopping the transfer of Iraqi funds from the US Federal Bank, nor regarding preventing the flow of gas from Iran to Iraq. He stressed that there is no fear for Iraqi funds and that liquidity is available
