"the government's move has numerous benefits, most notably its contribution to absorbing liquidity
and eliminating financial hoarding, as well as strengthening the principle of monetary sovereignty." "announced that the national electronic payment card project it launched is a local option and exclusively in dinars" "Issuing the national payment card is a principle implemented in all countries around the
world. It allows its holder to make payments using electronic cards within the country in Iraqi dinars, under the supervision of the monetary authority and under the principle of
monetary sovereignty, without the need to go through external oversight systems."
Iraqi ministerial committee on Erbil-Baghdad budget issues holds first meeting
Iraq’s newly formed ministerial committee tasked with resolving outstanding disputes between Erbil and Baghdad held its first meeting on Wednesday, focusing on key financial and energy issues, including oil exports, domestic consumption, and public sector salaries in the Kurdistan Region.
The meeting, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Planning Mohammed Ali Tamim, brought together federal and Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) representatives to address stalled budget transfers and oil obligations, according to a planning ministry statement.
“A review of the two papers submitted by the federal government and the [Kurdistan] Region, where both papers addressed a number of vital topics, foremost among them the oil export file and its regulatory mechanisms, the volume of local consumption of oil products, as well as the region's delivery of the federal treasury's share of non-oil revenues, in addition to discussing the localization of Kurdistan Region employees' salaries” were discussed, the statement said.
On Monday, a senior KRG delegation arrived in Baghdad to resume talks with federal officials over the prolonged financial dispute, which has led to repeated salary delays in the Kurdistan Region.
The committee was established on Tuesday following the visit, per a directive by Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani.
The planning ministry said the committee stressed “the importance of continuing technical and administrative discussions regarding these files with the aim of reaching quick, fair, and realistic solutions and treatments that guarantee the rights of Kurdistan Region employees, similar to their colleagues in the rest of the Iraqi provinces, within the framework of the state's unified financial policy.”
Tensions between Erbil and Baghdad flared in late May when Iraq’s federal finance ministry halted all budget transfers to the KRG, including payments for public employee salaries. The ministry claimed the KRG had exceeded its 12.67 percent share of the 2025 federal budget and failed to deliver its designated share of oil to SOMO.
The situation has been exacerbated by the ongoing suspension of oil exports through the Iraq-Turkey pipeline, which has remained offline since March 2023 following an international arbitration ruling.
The committee is tasked with aligning both sides’ demands and drafts to pave the way for a formal agreement. link

Quote: "Iraq is not a poor country, but rather a country of goodness, with trained, educated and cultured human resources, not only at home but also abroad.
Iraq has scientists of both genders, even at NASA, and they are distinguished.
He added that Iraq has distanced itself from the surrounding political problems, and in light of that, we only expect to see a strong Iraq with a regional and global standing."

business environment, reviewing and updating commercial and regulatory legislation with the aim of simplifying procedures and stimulating local and foreign investment, in addition to launching programs to support small and medium enterprises and providing financing and training packages to support entrepreneurs."

Bruce’s Big Call Dinar Intel Thursday Night 7-10-25
Transcribed by WiserNow
Welcome everybody to the big call tonight. it is thursday, July 10th and you’re listening to the big call. Thanks everybody for coming in – tuned in – from wherever you are, all around the globe. Thank you satellite team for getting this call out all over the world.
Okay, guys, let’s get into some intel. Let’s see. I’ve got several things to bring to you tonight. The first thing is, let’s talk about Iraq. Iraq has a prime minister, President Well, President Sudani was called by President Trump today to ask him to raise the rate on the Iraqi dinar on Saturday, or he would be looking at tariffs for Iraq on Sunday?
Well, I’m sure Iraq doesn’t want tariffs – there, and I’m sure President Trump would rather have the Iraqi rate where it should be. And so the one benefit that we have on Saturday is that if they do that Saturday morning, we’ll they are eight hours ahead of the East Coast, so it won’t affect our Saturday in a negative way. It should be, in other words, that new Iraqi rate should be up on screens Saturday
Now, speaking of screens, our redemption center leader, one of them that spoke to us today, said there are no rates on redemption center screens right now. And this guy just a big call. When I was stepped away from the call, I got that piece, there are no currencies or rates on redemption center screens. And I’m going to say probably not on bank screens either at this time.
And I think the reason, one of the reasons is, remember how we talked about our accounts, our bank accounts, being mirrored I n the QFS. We talked about them being live on the QFS well, some banks are still doing that with our accounts, and are supposed to be complete with that on or by Saturday, making our accounts live on QFS. Okay?
And you know, there’s quite a bit of interconnectivity with that, between Starlink satellite system, the FinTech system, the what else the blockchain technology that’s being used for the digital crypto currencies that as well as the Starlink satellite system.
So the whole thing has to be fully interconnected, and that’s what’s been happening. And they’re going to continue to make sure that everything’s connected, so our accounts are in the QFs system, fully activated and ready to go by Saturday. So that takes care of that.
What about where we are as far as our notifications? Oour notifications we thought would be out today, Thursday.
Now it appears, and there’s a reason that we got pushed, I believe, till tomorrow to be notified. It looks like we’re gonna notified Friday and begin exchange. They want us to start exchanging on Saturday, if possible. So we’ve got a Friday, Saturday start. It could be a Friday, Saturday and Sunday or Monday start for exchanges.
In other words, if the numbers come out tomorrow, we shouldn’t start Saturday, if we don’t get them tomorrow, but then weekend, we’re looking at probably a Monday start for exchanges. Okay? So I don’t know that the Iraqi dinar is holding this up per se.
However, I think the dinar has got to be at the rate it’s supposed to be on the redemption center screens, which is going to probably take place Saturday. So we could possibly get those numbers tomorrow, I believe, and go ahead and set our appointments and begin our exchanges, hopefully on Saturday, if not, our first c***k at it could be on Monday.
So we have to just hang in there and be patient as this is taking place, and as we’re looking forward to this coming to its rightful conclusion. All right now, if there’s anything that I’m saying that needs to be brought out. Of course, we talked about last Tuesday, we talked about the RNR, talked about DOGE payments.
We talked about increases in Social Security, which are still on for this month –it may not be on your normal Wednesday – because I believe the first was Wednesday – yesterday – showed no increase in Social Security for those receiving it – by direct deposit – and its ha;f way through the month in that sense first and second Wednesday – even though today is only the 10th
It is very possible they will catch up with another payment on the second Wednesday , so We’re gonna have to see how that plays out by the end of the month.
As I mentioned earlier we have one week to set our appointments for the redemption centers – And we have one month to do the exchanges and redemption – So that’s the latest information on that.
Now, when we call the toll free number will be going into a call center and look, there were four or six call centers that we’ll be using , really each state has it’s own district office, which is a connection to all the redemption centers themselves.
Now I don’t think they can come into play for our calling to set appointments but they are there and they are responding to the redemption centers which remember quite a few
Gosh, can’t remember if there’s over 9000 or more redemptions centers. There are quite a few. You generally won’t have to drive more than 45 minutes to an hour at the most in your western states to get to one.They will be very accessible anywhere from 15 – 30 minute drive – and of course they are not telling us where they are. They don’t want us to know where they are – heavily secure, and they’ll remain heavily secure when we go in there.
But it’s not going to be like an operation, where they’re afraid to go in – very comfortable parking and getting to your appointments — no more than 10 mins early, I believe, 10 minutes, because its possible they get done done a little more quickly, with the previous person, and they’ll be going out and exiting out of the different door, and you’ll be welcome to Come in, and so on and so forth. So a really cool experience. I can’t wait. Cannot wait to go in.
And as far as Med Beds availability – the availably are pretty quickly after our exchange – some of us have our names in the system, most of us do not, but they know who the Zim holders are. And the trick to get in early, to be an early adopter into the med beds, is to be a Zim holder and have a dire need.
If you check both boxes, yep, Zim holder, dire need you kind of go up to the front of the line, and you’ll let them know that when you to redemption center, and then they’ll key that in on the keyboard, key that in, and you’ll be in the system, and you’re you’re good to go.
Okay, so that’ll take us get there, into the redemption center. And then when you go to the Med Bed Center, which has two med bed at each one, and also all around in Canada, in Mexico, and there’s some in Europe and also in Asia and Far East. I can’t tell you the numbers in those areas, but they’re all over the place.
And when you go there, each bed Center has two bed beds and produce you’re having done, they’ll put you in one bed, bed or the other. If it’s more of a dire need with an amputation or a lost limb of some kind, or whatever, that needs a little bit different approach to it, but it’s going to be terrific.
I’m very much looking forward to getting my everything else, as far as that goes, but it’s not going to be a long time. It should be a matter of, I would say, five days, maybe four after your appointment. In most cases, if you’re super dire need, it might push you up and move you up the scale.
It may depend on where you live, too, because look so if you’re in one area of the country, I’m in a different area of the country, what difference does my timing make to you or your timing make to me? We both can get in fairly early based on our redemption.
Now here’s the other piece that I got yesterday on your calling inside your appointments, is that when you call in and you’ve given your zip code, they know roughly where you want to do your exchange, either your home zip code, your work zip code, or another zip code, if you’re a different part of the country you enter, they will connect you to a redemption center in that area, close to that zip code, the closest one to you based on your zip code.
So what they’ll do when you call in, you get transferred that redemption center, you’ll speak to someone who will probably be working with you. They’ll help you set your appointment, and they will give you three time slot options, three times , pick one to three, whatever suits your schedule that you that’s going to be an incredible experience for all of us.
And I’m excited about going into the redemption Center. I’m excited about that quantum card, my Wells Fargo account, my master account, getting a lot of getting my username, password for the quantum card, five digit input my biometric finger or something, and my email address and yeah, email address, password, all that card tells everything between computer chips in that card about three times the thickness of regular credit card – and take this other regular credit card.
So I think it’s made of platinum, and that’s your access to your quantum account. You’ll you’re not going to buy anything with it into whatever set up with it could have three different that are tied to links that quant card your quantum account.
Okay, so you don’t want to just willy nilly lay that card down anywhere – Needs to be a very safe place. You need to move funds in the future. You can go to it and activate it and use it to move funds by yourself. You don’t even have to do it the bank, because you’ll have everything that you need to do it, even with a new queue phone that is coming and it’s coming to us if you’re a zim holder, you get one for free a zim holder, you get a free queue phone. My understanding is the service is free—I cant tell you anymore about it –
I thought there would be a service charge – I don’t know – don’t hold me to it – as of right now I understand there is no service charge – and it is a satellite phone – uses the Starlink satellite system to communicate. So it’s going to be really cool and very fast. It’s at least 6g and it’s, it’s going to be good communication.
If you’re doing mission work and you’re down to South America, or you’re in Africa, or whatever that Que phone, as long as you charge it up should be that’ll be good to go – . I’m glad for that. That’s cool anywhere you travel as long as, I guess, long as You have a signal through the starling system you are golden
There is some stuff in LA – you have probably heard about – read about – that made the news – about tunnels underground in LA , and yes, we’re involved in cleaning that up – isle 3 green underground, and they’re making really good headway on it right now.
They may have it already completed by now. It should be by sometime tonight, Pacific Time, and that’ll be a good thing. It’ll be a very good thing to clean that up. I’m not going to get into it, but I’m just glad that they’re doing that.
Otherwise, it appears that all these rains that are happening all over the country, are not a result of harp or some maliciousness, it appears, I can’t say that was the case for Texas, though. I cannot say that’s what. Okay, however, my sources are saying the current weather issue and just kind of what’s normal happening than, malicious or by someone or some machine.
Okay, that’s the end of that one. Let’s see. Is there anything else?
Let’s see if tonight, excuse me not, tonight, we get these numbers tomorrow. I don’t have any time given at this point on it – but If they come what we will do is put it out on big call universe.com, and we’ll send that email out as soon as we can . So you guys would have it from us, big call universe, in addition to the one that comes from Wells, Fargo, the we don’t know it could be in the morning – tomorrow – we don’t know
We know they’re trying to get those out. They just didn’t get it for today. And I’ve got a full clearance from department defense and Treasury – and once I get the green light on both of those, I think everything is more or less automated.
So let’s do this, you guys, let me thank Sue and Bob being great co hosts on the big call, thanks everybody in big call universe for listening to the call for the last 14 years, let’s hope that we get what we’re looking for, and the blessing comes in and we go forward and go into our projects and whatever we want to do after we’ve taken a little time to do what we need to do to assimilate everything,
All right, so thanks everybody so much for listening tonight. I appreciate it, and we can keep an eye on your emails, and we’ll let you know if we get it, we’ll put it out. Okay, thanks so much. Everybody. Have a blessed weekend, and let’s pray the call out,
