Ripple vs SEC Case As of June 30, 2024: Torres’s Verdict On XRP Stands

The legal landscape surrounding cryptocurrencies in the U.S., especially XRP, is gaining much-needed clarity. Two recent court decisions have significantly impacted the ongoing lawsuit between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple and broader industry regulations.

In a significant victory for the crypto industry, District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has bolstered the legal precedent set by Judge Analisa Torres in the SEC vs. Ripple case. Judge Jackson’s decision in the Binance vs. SEC case centered on the classification of Binance’s BNB token.

The SEC argues that secondary sales of BNB by users on crypto exchanges constituted unregistered securities offerings. However, Judge Jackson disagreed, dismissing the SEC’s claim.

This ruling, shared on X by Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett, aligns with Judge Torres’ previous decision in the Ripple case.

XRP Secondary Sales Deemed Non-Securities, Judge Torres’ Doctrine Stands

Judge Jackson’s ruling that XRP secondary sales aren’t securities boosts Ripple and sets a crucial precedent for the entire crypto industry.

Judge Jackson and Torres’ aligned decisions clarify that crypto assets traded by individuals on exchanges do not qualify as securities.

XRP price jumped over 1% after the ruling, aiming to regain $0.50, with increased interest from derivatives traders on OKX and BitMEX.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson has upheld Judge Torres’ doctrine, asserting that XRP’s secondary sales are not securities. This ruling came during the Binance vs. SEC case, where the SEC’s claim regarding secondary sales of Binance’s BNB was dismissed. To that end, the ruling by Judge Jackson, in concurrence with that of Judge Torres on the sale of XRP, sets an example in the crypto industry.

Pro-XRP Lawyer Sees Binance Ruling as Boost for XRP Non-Security Status

XRP Lawsuit: Ripple Notches Massive Wins as CEO Brad Garlinghouse Clarifies XRP’s Security Status

Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse has taken swipes at news outlets over inaccurate reporting of a court decision involving XRP and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The fiasco began following a ruling by Judge Phyllis Hamilton of the US District Court for the Northern District of California, which threw out a class action suit against the issuers of the XRP token. While considered a massive win for Ripple Labs, the judge allowed an individual state law claim to proceed to trial based on alleged “misleading statements” made by Garlinghouse in 2017.

As XRP’s community celebrated the dismissal of securities law violation, CoinDesk and a raft of crypto news outlets reported that Hamilton’s decision could imply that XRP may be a security. The reporting triggered a stir in the ecosystem as XRP enthusiasts believe the question of the asset being a security was finalized in a 2023 decision by District Judge Analisa Torres in New York’s Southern District.

CoinDesk described the ruling as a “fly in the ointment,” but the report elicited fierce kickbacks from XRP’s community, with Garlinghouse leading the charge. According to Garlinghouse on X (formerly Twitter), Garlinghouse described the report as “embarrassing,” noting that Hamilton did not expressly term XRP as a security.

6 Ways To Build Wealth After Getting Laid Off — That Don’t Include a New Job

Vance Cariaga Thu, Jun 27, 2024

Layoffs are a fact of life in the modern economy — even when the economy is growing and unemployment is low, like now. The list of companies that have announced layoffs this year alone reads like a “who’s who” of corporate titans and includes Amazon, Walmart, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Tesla, Bristol Myers Squibb, Nike and Disney.

The disconcerting thing for workers is that employers sometimes announce layoffs even when they’re doing well financially. In some cases, businesses announce layoffs to make up for past hiring sprees. In other cases, they simply replace workers with AI or other technologies.

Given the size and frequency of layoffs these days, it’s understandable that some folks who have been given the pink slip have decided to stop looking for jobs altogether. If you fall into that category, here are six ways to build wealth that don’t include getting another full-time job.

6 Ways To Build Wealth After Getting Laid Off — That Don’t Include a New Job

The list of companies that have announced layoffs this year alone reads like a “who’s who” of corporate titans and includes Amazon, Walmart, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Tesla, Bristol Myers Squibb, Nike and Disney.

The disconcerting thing for workers is that employers sometimes announce layoffs even when they’re doing well financially. In some cases, businesses announce layoffs to make up for past hiring sprees. In other cases, they simply replace workers with AI or other technologies.

Given the size and frequency of layoffs these days, it’s understandable that some folks who have been given the pink slip have decided to stop looking for jobs altogether. If you fall into that category, here are six ways to build wealth that don’t include getting another full-time job.

Find a Side Hustle Instead

Unless you were given a generous severance package after getting laid off, you might need to bring in some immediate income to help navigate the initial rough patch. That doesn’t mean you have to get another job, however. There are plenty of side hustles available that let you work on your own schedule and be your own boss.

If you have expertise in a particular field, for example, you could serve as a consultant and earn up to $100 an hour or more. If you have a strong background in social media and a large network of online friends and followers, consider becoming an influencer. It’s not uncommon for successful influencers to earn six-figure incomes through sponsored promotions, brand collaborations, merchandise sales and other means.

Rent Out Part of Your House

If you are a homeowner, one of the best ways to earn immediate income following a layoff is to turn your house into a moneymaker. As the Virtual Vocations website noted, sites like Airbnb and Vrbo let you list single rooms in your house to travelers and traveling workers. You can earn an average of about $924 a month renting a room with a bed, bathroom access and cleaning services.

Invest In Dividend Stocks

You don’t have to be a stock market expert to find securities that can provide immediate income. The best way to do this is to build a portfolio of dividend stocks that let you collect regular passive income, which can compound into substantial long-term wealth.

Use your dividend payments to purchase additional shares through a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP), and keep adding new capital. Modest initial investments can snowball into diversified six- and seven-figure portfolios over time.

Oil Rises Significantly And Is Heading For Gains For The Third Week In A Row

Saturday 29 June 2024 08:55 | Economic Number of readings: 206 Baghdad / NINA / Crude oil prices witnessed a noticeable rise during global market trading, and prices are heading to achieve gains for the third week in a row, supported by improved market sentiment regarding the possibility that American demand for crude oil will increase during the coming period, driven by strong economic growth data in the United States. United States (the largest consumer of crude oil in the world).

At the end of trading yesterday, Friday, spot contracts for Brent crude witnessed a jump of 0.34% and reached about $85.66 per barrel, and spot contracts for West Texas Intermediate crude also rose by 0.57% and recorded about $82.22 per barrel.

Crude oil prices received support that enhanced their rise during global market trading on Friday, after data received from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis yesterday showed that the final reading of the gross domestic product growth rate in the United States recorded a growth of 1.4% during the first quarter of this year, In the same quarter, the US GDP price index recorded a growth of about 3.1% during the first quarter, which reinforced market speculation about the possibility that US demand for crude oil would increase during the coming period, supporting oil price levels in the market.

In this regard, crude oil prices recorded a clear rise during market trading, amid the prevailing state of fear in the global market regarding the possibility that the crude oil market will be exposed to a large supply deficit during the coming period, especially after a Ukrainian plane caused a fire to break out in an oil tank for the Russian Druzhba pipeline.

(One of the largest parts of the Transneft system, which monopolizes Russian pipelines), in the Tambov region, southeast of Moscow, which led to a fire in a crude oil warehouse, which pushed oil prices to rise in the last week’s trading.

Also, crude oil prices rose significantly during trading, coinciding with the escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah, with Hezbollah intensifying its attacks with missiles and drones in northern Israel during the past weeks, which increased pressure on the Israeli government, and led to... Escalating tensions in the region, which may extend to areas rich in crude oil, and this would enhance expectations of the possibility that the oil market will be exposed to a shortage of supplies, and lead to a rise in crude oil prices in the market./End 9

DJ: DID YOU KNOW?

We watch for a global financial reform (GCR) yet fail to take into consideration the diversity of governing bodies and systems that actually inhabit the world. The world is a tapestry of diverse governance systems, each shaped by a unique blend of historical, cultural, economic, and social factors. Understanding why countries have different forms of government requires diving into the complex interplay of these influences.

To implement a GCR each sovereign’s governing body must be considered. One size does not fit all.

In some cases the historical context of a country plays a pivotal role in determining its government structure. Nations with a colonial past often inherit elements of their colonizers’ political systems. As an example, many countries in Africa and Asia that were once part of the British Empire adopted parliamentary systems.

We watch for a global financial reform (GCR) yet fail to take into consideration the diversity of governing bodies and systems that actually inhabit the world. The world is a tapestry of diverse governance systems, each shaped by a unique blend of historical, cultural, economic, and social factors. Understanding why countries have different forms of government requires diving into the complex interplay of these influences.

To implement a GCR each sovereign’s governing body must be considered. One size does not fit all.

In some cases the historical context of a country plays a pivotal role in determining its government structure. Nations with a colonial past often inherit elements of their colonizers’ political systems. As an example, many countries in Africa and Asia that were once part of the British Empire adopted parliamentary systems.

Conversely, nations with revolutionary histories, such as the United States and France, often developed systems that reflect their struggles for independence and democratic ideals, leading to presidential and semi-presidential systems, respectively.

In other cases cultural values and social structures have shaped governance. In societies with a strong emphasis on communal decision-making and consensus, such as many indigenous communities, governance systems often reflect these principles. Some African nations incorporate traditional councils into their modern political frameworks. In other nations, the role of religion significantly influences government forms, as seen in the theocratic systems of Iran and Saudi Arabia, where religious doctrine guides political decisions.

Economic conditions can also drive the form of government a country might adopt. Industrialized nations with diverse economies tend to favor democratic systems that can adapt to changing economic needs and encourage innovation.

On the other hand, countries with economies heavily reliant on natural resources may develop more centralized forms of government, where control over resources can translate into political power, as seen in many oil-rich states.

For any type of universal financial system to integrate into the diversity of forms of government across the globe, it has to take into consideration the multifaceted nature of human societies. With that requires adaptation of a universal financial language ( Basel 3.5 and ISO 20022 with likely more to come). Most have adapted these languages but not all have yet.

Also keep in mind that each sovereign country must look after the specialized needs within their borders. In fact it is their duty, regardless of any particular governance structure, to make decisions that are beneficial to its people. In order to fulfill that function a country must be sovereign.

Sovereignty is crucial for a country as it ensures its autonomy and the ability to govern without external interference. It is essential for preserving a nation’s integrity, stability, and the democratic principle of self-determination.

This independence allows a nation to make decisions that reflect the will and interests of its people, maintain control over its resources, and implement policies tailored to its unique cultural, social, and economic needs. Sovereignty also enables a country to enter into international agreements and participate in global affairs on its own terms, thereby protecting its national identity and promoting its development.

So while the masses and Intel providers seem focused on the mechanisms being structured, developed and deployed for delivery of these funds it is the “behind the scenes” geopolitical activity that is crucial. How these funds will integrate into the diversity of governance structures is the key.

Anyone can build a boat but if there is no water to float it on all you have is a motor home with no wheels.

Iraqi Dinar: IBBC ISSUES MAJOR NEW PAPER ON DE-DOLLARISATION OF IRAQ

Professor Frank Gunter publishes a new paper commissioned as part of a series by IBBC's advisory council on the challenges of de-dollarisation for Iraq.

The Advisory Council members and IBBC members have actively contributed to the paper in the past 4 months. It will be presented online on the 18th June in a webinar and in person at the Spring Conference on 2nd July. The Arabic translation will be published soon.

Previous advisory papers include 2020, 'Iraq 2020: Country at the Crossroads', 'Corruption Worse Than ISIS: Causes and Cures Cures for Iraqi Corruption', 'Seaports and Airports of Iraq: Rules Versus Infrastructure' and 'Privatization of State-Owned Enterprises'.

Professor Gunter provides an analysis of the drivers of impact on the dinar exchange rate and examines how best to deal with the parallel market of dinars to dollars. He outlines the practical policy initiatives that should reduce the gap between the official and parallel exchange rates in the medium-term.

In particular he lauds the Government of Iraq on its commitment to tackle corruption and to modernise the banking system in one fell swoop but warns of the pressure on the dinar exchange rate as budgets are overstretched and the new banking recipients (state banks) receive the liquidity to enable the economy to perform.

He writes 'All three of these forces -the anti-corruption effort, the banking liberalization, and the lavish 2023-2025 budget- will create challenges for the management of the dinar exchange rate. One could argue that over the last two decades the Government of Iraq (GoI) had little control over its exchange rate; that exchange rate policy was determined by other sectors of the political economy in Iraq.

But even if this is true, the level of the exchange rate and changes in that level are believed by many Iraqis and foreigners as providing valuable insight into the quality of economic management in Iraq.

This importance is exemplified by the current efforts to de-dollarize the Iraqi economy while there is excess demand for dollars. This excess demand is shown by a parallel exchange rate of roughly 1500 dinars per dollar compared to the official exchange rate of 1310 dinars per dollar.

An important cause of this exchange rate gap is that the GoI, with the strong encouragement of the U.S. Federal Reserve, is attempting to reduce the use of the U.S. dollar in both Iraq's internal economy and its external transactions. Since 2003, the U.S. dollar has facilitated economic growth in Iraq by providing a widely accepted medium of exchange for purchases as well as a reliable store of value for savings. In the long run, whether de-dollarization will have a significant adverse impact on the Iraq economy will depend on how rapidly the GoI can increase both the efficiency of alternative mediums of exchange and the perceived security of alternative stores of value.'

To Boost Foreign Investments, Iraq signs Singapore Convention

From the UN Development Programme (UNDP). Any opinions expressed are those of the author(s), and do not necessarily reflect the views of Iraq Business News.

In a landmark move to attract foreign investors to Iraq, the country celebrated its signing of the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resulting from Mediation ("Singapore Convention").

Under the patronage of H.E. Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the National Investment Commission (NIC) of Iraq hosted a high-profile conference on mediation today [Wednesday 26th June, 2o24].

Creating an environment for global investors

Kick-starting the conference on behalf of H.E. the Prime Minister Mohammed Shia` Al-Sudani, the Advisor to the Prime Minister, Nasser Saleh Abdulnabi Al-Asadi reiterated the government's unwavering focus on foreign investment.

"We are steadfast in our progressive reforms, striving to transform Iraq into an inviting and secure investment destination. Iraq's accession to the Singapore Convention is a significant milestone, fortifying our efforts to build a robust business sector. We will persist in our endeavours to bolster investment, combat corruption, and generate employment opportunities for our youth," he said.

On April 17, 2024, Iraq took a significant step by signing the Singapore Convention, as the Convention eases enforcement of mediated settlement agreements, paving the way for enhanced international trade and commerce between countries.

"Iraq is ready to strengthen its collaboration with countries across the globe to foster investment as well as diversify and increase its trade, and the Convention is an important tool for us to operationalize this," ` said Dr. Hayder Makiya [Makiyya], Chairman of the National Investment Commission.

Iraq enters its new chapter

The conference, generously backed by the European Union, was joined by the European Union Ambassador to Iraq, Thomas Seiler.

"We are working hand in hand with the government and UNDP to support the government's ambition to make Iraq a secure and attractive destination for foreign investments, including from the 27 EU Member States. Effective mediation opens a new door for Iraq's international trade and business."

Through its Anti-Corruption and Commercial Dispute Resolution Initiatives funded by the European Union, UNDP has also been working with Iraqi universities to build the capacities of law students in commercial dispute resolution, including mediation.

"With the signing of the Singapore Convention, Iraq is committed to transforming the landscape of commercial cross-border dispute resolution which will significantly impact businesses engaged in international trade and commerce. We will continue supporting the Government in legislation and building the necessary institutional and human capacity to make mediation work." said Auke Lootsma, Resident Representative of UNDP.

The hope is that Iraq's signing of the Singapore Convention is the foundational beginning the country needs in order to attract and instill confidence in investors who wish to do business there - creating a climate that is conducive and safe for foreign investment.

About the Singapore Convention

The Singapore Convention is a multilateral treaty that provides a uniform and efficient framework for the enforcement of international settlement agreements resulting from mediation. It applies to agreements concluded by parties to resolve commercial disputes and facilitates international trade by enabling easy cross-border enforcement of these settlements. As of 11 June 2024, the Convention has 57 signatories and 14 parties. Iraq is the most recent signatory of the convention.

About UNDP's Commercial Dispute Resolution Initiative

To create an inclusive ecosystem for investors and boost foreign investment, UNDP has been strengthening commercial dispute resolution legislation and practices in Iraq. In addition to the support for mediation, the initiative includes technical support for drafting new law on arbitration in compliance with the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration and international best practices. By facilitating consultations, workshops, and discussions with a broad range of stakeholders, UNDP aims to enhance capacity building and mainstream efficient commercial dispute resolution practices across the country.

DRAGON BOND: What it Means, How it Works

What Is a Dragon Bond?

A dragon bond is a long-term debt security issued by firms operating in Asian nations (excluding Japan), but denominated in foreign, stable currencies, such as the U.S. dollar (USD) or the Japanese yen (JPY).

Dragon bonds are Asian corporate bonds, ex-Japan, but denominated in a foreign currency.

Dragon bonds are denominated in currencies deemed to be more stable than the home currency to help mitigate the foreign exchange risk.

Dragon bonds, introduced by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in 1991, are analogous to eurobonds issued by European corporations in foreign currencies.

Understanding Dragon Bonds

A dragon bond is a fixed-income security denominated in currencies deemed more stable than the home currency; it is seen as more attractive to foreign investors as a result. The rationale for structuring them to be as appealing as possible to investors outside of Asia is because they mitigate the foreign exchange risk that can impact returns as currency values fluctuate. Dragon bonds are similar to eurobonds in that they are denominated in foreign currencies that are liquid and stable, but in the Asian context instead of Europe.

Dragon bonds were first introduced in 1991 by the Asian Development Bank (ADB). Because of the foreign denomination, these can be more complex than other bonds because of international differences in taxation, regulatory compliance issues facing firms that issue them, plus limited liquidity in trading them in secondary markets.

Dragon Bonds and Currency Risk

Dragon bonds were created to broaden the market for fixed-income securities in Asia and develop more active Asian financial markets. Although Asian companies had issued bonds in local currencies, they appealed mostly to domestic investors limiting access to capital. Foreign investors were often reluctant to buy bonds dominated in currencies that could fluctuate rapidly. Currencies such as the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen were considered stable enough for accumulating assets.

For example, an Indonesian company might issue a 20-year bond denominated in Indonesian rupiah (IDR), with a coupon rate of 4-percent paid annually. If the U.S. dollar-Indonesian rupiah (USD/IDR) were 10,000 rupiahs per one U.S. dollar, then a 100-million rupiah bond would be the equivalent of $10,000. Each interest payment of 4 million rupiah would represent $400 at the time the bond is issued.

To an Indonesian investor, an investment of 100 million rupiah would pay 4 million rupiah per year with return of principal after 20 years. But for an investor buying such a bond with U.S. dollars, an unfavorable movement between the relative value of the two currencies could create extra risk.

If in the next year the exchange rate shifted from 10,000 IDR/1 USD to 11,000 IDR/1 USD, then the first coupon payment of 4 million rupiah would only be worth only about $364 instead of $400 as anticipated when the bond was first issued. The bond's 100-million rupiah face value would be worth about $9,091. And if the prevailing interest rate moves up, the value of the bond would be even lower.

However, a dragon bond denominated in USD, while still subject to interest rate risk, would not be subject to currency risk. The regional economy has changed significantly in the years since the introduction of dragon bonds in 1991, including the 1997 Asian financial crisis, and the growth of the Chinese economy. However, dragon bonds continue to help Asian markets attract more foreign investment.

Tishwash: Will the state adopt the provision of sovereign guarantees to finance private industrial projects?

The financial and economic advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, explained today, Friday, that the state has adopted a policy of providing sovereign guarantees for loans obtained by the private sector to finance an important package of private industrial projects.

Saleh told Al Furat News Agency: “There is a fundamental link in financing and implementation adopted by the government program and general policy in development, and its basics are summarized in the high implementation of the listed and ongoing government investment projects that faced procrastination and halting for many years.”

He added, "The current investment program is based on completing the implementation of investment projects without interruption and in accordance with the financial resources allocated to them included in the Federal General Budget Law, while ensuring the sustainability of the funding sources necessary for the continuation of implementation, especially in the field of high-service infrastructure such as projects to develop electricity, drinking water, roads, sewers, etc., with priority that touches the lives of citizens."

He pointed out: "Based on the above, the increase in revenues is one of the important financing levers in overcoming the problems that were facing government projects, which are called (slowed), and which have now entered into implementation and completion, in accordance with the approved policy (No more slowed projects)."

He expressed: "Therefore, there is a clear correlation between the capacity to implement urban projects in the country and the growth of public revenue sources (whether oil or non-oil) and harnessing their high financial flows to serve the requirements of economic development in our country in a way that maximizes the gross domestic product and provides high and sustainable employment sources at the same time.

The private sector assumes an important responsibility in implementation as it is the effective strategic partner in developing the Iraqi economy and advancing its infrastructure and various production activities."

Saleh noted that "the state has adopted a policy of providing sovereign guarantees for loans obtained by the private sector to finance an important package of civil industrial projects, most notably projects to produce industrial and construction outputs related to the advancement of reconstruction, housing and infrastructure, with sovereign guarantees for the private sector amounting to 85% of the value of private activity, specifically industrial activity." link

Tishwash: Economist reveals the main factors that influenced the implementation of the Maronites

Former Director of the Financial Supervision Bureau, Salah Nouri, revealed today, Friday, the basic factors that influenced the implementation of the budget approval.

Nouri told Al Furat News Agency: “The main factors affecting the proper implementation of the Maronites are:

_Approval of the budget early, at least in the third month of the fiscal year

_Accuracy of financial allocations according to the priorities of the government program

-The speed of cash financing for public spending units. This concerns the duties of the Ministries of Finance and Planning, the Council of Ministers, and the Representatives

As for the executive departments, Salah added, “Transparency, integrity and quality in the use and spending of funds according to the approved financial allocations.”

He stated, “The efficiency of the executive human resources in the public spending units, based on the basics of implementing the aforementioned general budget, will greatly affect the achievement this year in terms of delays in approving the budget and delays in financing, in addition to the weakness of efficiency, transparency, integrity, and quality, especially in investment projects.” link

What is the importance of Iraq joining international agreements?

6/26/2024 Baghdad

The Chairman of the National Investment Commission, Haider Makiya, stressed today, Wednesday, the importance of Iraq joining international agreements to enhance the investment sector, noting that Iraq has provided real guarantees to attract foreign investments.

Makiya said, in his speech, during the launch of the National Investment Commission conference in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme, that “Iraq’s accession to the International Settlement Agreement resulting from international mediation and disputes that was signed in 2024, will contribute to achieving the goals of sustainable development and encouraging the increasing use of international mediation as a means.” Effective for settling cross-border disputes, for the purpose of maintaining trade and investment relations between the parties involved in the investment process.”

He added, "This agreement has a pivotal dimension, foremost among which is finding an alternative method to litigation procedures before international arbitration bodies in disputes arising from investment, especially since Iraq joined in 2015 the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes between States and Citizens of Other Countries, and this "It will give foreign investors the right to resort to the Washington Center."

He continued, "Also, the Republic of Iraq's accession to the New York Convention on the Recognition of Foreign Judgments of 1958 means completing all the necessary legislative environment to provide real guarantees and protection for foreign investors, and this will reflect positively on attracting foreign capital to Iraq, which aims at the construction and reconstruction process, and will raise Iraq's classification." .

He explained, "This agreement enhances the Iraqi investment reality, because it includes many international and qualitative strategic investment opportunities that impose contracts with specialized foreign companies for investment purposes. This requires Iraq to provide legal protection to those companies by resolving disputes in the event that they arise from investment contracts that It is imposed by state institutions on these companies, which prefer to resort to international arbitration to guarantee their rights, as stipulated in Article 27 of Investment Law No. 13.”

He pointed out, “Iraq’s accession to the International Mediation Agreement (Singapore Agreement) is necessary to attract foreign investments and achieve intended development, especially in light of Iraq’s transformation and dependence on a free market economy. This agreement will also create a legal framework that allows reliance on agreements.” The settlement resulting from mediation is easily implemented by all countries.”

Makiya stressed that “the legal department at the National Investment Authority and the investment authorities in the governorates will work to include international investment contracts by relying on mediation mechanisms in investment-related disputes before resorting to international arbitration, which will send a message of reassurance to foreign investors and foreign companies in order to proceed with resolving disputes.” related to these contracts, is easier than entering into international commercial arbitration procedures.”

He pointed out, “The Republic of Iraq’s accession to the International Commercial Arbitration Agreement and the Singapore Mediation Agreement, in addition to concluding many agreements to encourage and protect mutual investments between Iraq and many international countries, made Iraq occupy fourth place in the classification of foreign direct investment.”

And the best emerging markets to invest in 2024.”

He stressed that "the noticeable improvement in the investment climate in Iraq comes as a result of government efforts made to strengthen the economic and investment sector, in attracting foreign investments," calling on foreign companies, foreign investors and businessmen to "visit Iraq to learn about the investment opportunities included in the investment map, and to attend the forum."

"Iraq Investment Bank, which will be held next November, will launch more than 100 investment opportunities with integrated approvals, and review the benefits and guarantees that the investment law will provide to investors." LINK

BRICS No to World Bank: What Next?

Fasstepo: 6-29-2024

The World Bank, a cornerstone of global financial governance, has long been a subject of criticism.

As the institution faces growing scrutiny from the Global South and BRICS countries, several pressing questions arise: Why is there a persistent perception of Western dominance within the World Bank's decision-making processes?

How do the conditionalities attached to its loans impact the socio-economic landscapes of recipient countries? And why have alternatives like the New Development Bank emerged as significant players in global finance?

This video delves into these critical issues, exploring the structural imbalances, the controversial policy impositions, and the rigidity that critics argue undermine the World Bank's mission.

The Latest Rv And Economics Updates from the Seeds of Wisdom Saturday Evening 6-29-24

Good Evening Dinar Recaps,

Europe’s MiCA will take effect on Sunday, ushering in a new age of transparent crypto regulation

MiCA provides regulatory clarity to the entire digital assets market across the Eurozone, making Europe one of the first Western countries to implement a clear framework that crypto exchanges, digital assets companies, and stablecoin issuers can adopt to remain compliant.

The framework aims to protect European investors from the fraud and risks plaguing the crypto markets while fostering innovation, economic competitiveness, and the interest of the Eurozone.

MiCA pushes for innovation in its stipulations around stablecoins, which will allow Euro-denominated stablecoins to replace the dollar-denominated variant. Under the new rules, stablecoins will be treated as electronic money, subjecting issuers to the same levels of compliance as traditional banks and money transmitters, including a 1:1 redemption to the Euro.

While the framework pushes for bold reforms, it also emphasizes protecting the European investor by mandating digital service providers obtain licenses as either digital asset service providers (DASP), virtual asset service providers (VASP), or crypto asset service providers (CASP).

Global stablecoins are not allowed under MiCA, and stablecoins pegged to other cryptocurrencies must primarily comply with European e-money licensing requirements. This would entail abiding by prudential, financial-crime compliance, and other rules.

To boost job and economic growth, licensed entities must maintain a local presence within the EU, which will serve as a base for their European operations.

While MiCA is a step forward, it is not without fault. Some of its faults include the cost of compliance, which could be burdensome on smaller crypto exchanges and service providers, vague (virtually non-existent) stipulations around decentralised finance, and a lack of flexibility in some stipulations, like those around stablecoins.

Less Than 1 in 10 Firms Are Fully Prepared for MiCA With 25% Having Made No Preparations

The first stage of the European Union‘s Markets in Crypto Assets Regulation (MiCA) will come into play on 30 June. However, a new report by Acuiti, the management intelligence platform, and conducted by Eventus, the trade surveillance software provider, has found that a move to establish market surveillance systems is underway as firms find themselves underprepared.


MiCA represents one of the first comprehensive regulatory frameworks for crypto trading to be developed in a major financial jurisdiction, and its adoption will increase requirements for market participants in a range of areas.

The study, The Impact of MiCA on Crypto Market Surveillance: Insights and Challenges, was based on a survey and series of interviews with senior executives at 68 firms engaged in crypto trade across the buy-side, sell-side and exchanges. It found that, of the firms that were in scope for MiCA, just nine per cent were fully prepared, and a quarter of firms had not begun preparations.

With MiCA coming into full effect at the end of the year, it is important that firms identify whether they are in scope now and begin preparations to comply.

In terms of market surveillance, the MiCA regulation is based upon requirements set out in the EU’s Market Abuse Regulation (MAR). For many firms, particularly crypto-native firms coming into scope for the first time, there will be a significant operational lift to put in place the systems required to be compliant. This study found that there were still high levels of firms that were not sure if they were in scope.

“For firms that are not already operating under MIFID II, MiCA will present a significant operational lift to become compliant, and it is no surprise that we found that firms were looking to third-party vendors to assist them in their preparations,” says Ross Lancaster headof research at Acuiti.

“There is a relative lack of awareness among some areas in the market as to who is in scope, which will need to be addressed if firms are going to have time to get ready for compliance.”

UK is 3 months away from transition away from US dollar LIBOR

The Financial Conduct Authority has reminded market participants of the expected cessation of the remaining synthetic US dollar LIBOR settings at the end of September 2024.

“We have no intention to use our powers to compel IBA to continue to publish the settings beyond this date”, the regulator stated. “Market participants with outstanding US dollar LIBOR exposures must make sure they are prepared for these remaining synthetic US dollar LIBOR settings to cease by the expected deadline.”

The FCA further warned that parties to contracts still referencing US dollar LIBOR should be taking steps to transition to appropriate, robust reference rates, renegotiating with counterparties where necessary.

The FCA and BoE have been taking steps to promote the switch from LIBOR to SONIA. Throughout the last few years, they actively provided guidance to lenders, borrowers, and investors who are amending their documentation to reference SONIA.

Nevertheless, the transition from US dollar LIBOR remains of critical importance globally, including in the UK where many firms are active in US dollar interest rate markets.

LIBOR, which underpins more than $300 trillion in derivatives and other instruments, is set to be replaced worldwide with the Bank of England’s Sonia rate for sterling-denominated swaps, loans, and futures.

Instead of interbank offered rates, the FCA notes that overnight SONIA is now fully embedded across FX markets. Successful CCP conversion processes saw some of the largest single day amendments to financial contracts, with in excess of £13 trillion LIBOR-referencing contracts converted to SONIA.

This shift is expected to boost liquidity in these products, which aided relevant providers in achieving the Working Group’s key milestone of ceasing LIBOR-linked derivatives.

Digital Assets
Analysis: How the Fed’s rate policy spurred crypto adoption in Africa

Increases in U.S. interest rates are historically considered to generate adverse spillovers to emerging market economies (EMEs), including those in Africa. However, whether these rate hikes are detrimental depends on their underlying causes.

Higher rates resulting from stronger U.S. growth generate only modest spillovers to African financial markets. In contrast, rate hikes stemming from hawkish Federal Reserve policy or inflationary pressures are much more disruptive, often leading to capital outflows and currency depreciation.

African currencies have struggled against the U.S. dollar over the last two years, and they are unlikely to see recoveries soon as long as the Federal Reserve continues to delay cutting interest rates. This sustained pressure has driven many Africans to seek refuge in cryptocurrencies, which are perceived as less susceptible to the Fed’s monetary policy changes.

According to Chainalysis, Africa received $117.1 billion in on-chain crypto transactions between July 2022 and June 2023. Although it has consistently been one of the smallest cryptocurrency markets, a closer analysis reveals that crypto has penetrated key markets and become an important part of many residents’ day-to-day lives. The Fed’s higher interest rates have indirectly contributed to this trend by exacerbating economic conditions in these countries, prompting people to seek financial alternatives.

That said, experts on the ground also observed that crypto fans in Africa have shifted their focus from Bitcoin to stablecoins due to their lower price volatility compared to the original cryptocurrency.

Trade finance to play major role in $30 trillion tokenised assets market

Demand for tokenised real-world assets could reach $30.1 trillion by 2034, with trade finance assets making up a significant part of the market, predicts a paper from Standard Chartered and Synpulse.

Currently, the tokenised assets sector is mainly made up of traditional assets like US treasuries and money market funds. However, the supply side is still in its infancy, with the total value of tokenised assets (excluding stablecoins) standing at just $5

However, the paper argues that growing industry digitisation and the specific features of real-world trade finance assets, make it an ideal category to originate tokens.

Currently, trade finance assets are underinvested due to lack of familiarity, pricing inconsistency and operational intensity. Tokenisation has the potential to address these challenges, whilst also reducing information asymmetry and offering transparency to investors.

By 2034, trade finance assets could become one of the top three tokenised assets globally, at 16% of the $30.1 trillion total, predict the authors.

Kai Fehr, global head, trade, Standard Chartered, says: "We see the next three years as a critical junction for tokenisation, with trade finance assets coming to the fore as a new asset class.

"To unlock this trillion-dollar opportunity, industry-wide collaboration among all stakeholders, from investors and financial institutions to governments and regulators is critical. Banks need to increasingly take on the role of bridging the existing traditional financial markets with a newer and more open token-enabled market infrastructure."

Techcombank launched AI-powered banking at the Techcombank Keynote event in Hanoi on Friday, aiming to become a leading bank in Vietnam with innovative digital solutions.
Techcombank's first Keynote event, titled "Pioneering Innovation: Reaching for New Heights," showcased the bank's most innovative new solutions for individual, business, and corporate customers and highlighted how it is harnessing the power of data and AI to create meaningful experiences for customers and deliver unprecedented growth for Techcombank.

Kicking off the event, CEO Jens Lottner highlighted the investment made by Techcombank over the first three years of its 2021–2025 transformation plan to create a number of first-in-the-market innovations.

Techcombank has applied data analysis and AI across the bank, and most major systems have been transitioned to the cloud.

This puts it around three years ahead of its competitors in Vietnam and is enabling the bank to harness the power of data and AI in order to drive unique business outcomes.

Lottner said that this year the bank has accelerated its drive towards leveraging digital platforms, new data, and AI capabilities, creating more hyper-personalized experiences for customers.

"We are now redefining banking in Vietnam with our product innovations and personalized experiences," said Lottner.

Its new loyalty ecosystem offers rewards and experiences tailored to individual customers’s preferences and lifestyles.

It is already one of the largest and most diverse loyalty programs in the Vietnamese banking industry, encompassing over 19,000 points of sale with over 300 brands where customers can earn reward points.

"With the strong support of our partners and shareholders, we have built one of the best banking platforms in Asia. We are now ready to go to the next level, to compete and win over customers to realize our vision, Change Banking, Change Lives," Abraham said.

China-Serbia FTA to take effect on July 1, further facilitates bilateral exchanges

The free trade agreement (FTA) between China and Serbia will officially take effect on July 1, 2024, as the two sides will gradually eliminate tariffs on 90 percent of products in the tariff lines. Tariffs for more than 60 percent of products will be suspended immediately on the same day, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) said on Friday in a statement.

The FTA was signed on October 17, 2023, and both countries have completed the respective approval procedures.

The final proportion of zero-tariff imports on both sides will reach about 95 percent, covering major trade commodities. The import tariffs on the Serbian side will be gradually reduced to zero from the current 5 to 20 percent for Chinese products such as automobiles, photovoltaic modules, lithium batteries, telecommunication equipment, machinery and equipment, refractory materials and some agricultural and aquatic products, according to a separate MOFOCM statement on Friday, citing an official.

China will also reduce the 5-20 percent tariffs to zero for major Serbian imports, including generators, electric motors, tires, beef, wine, nuts and other products.

25 Things You Should Never Do With Your Money

Roger Wohlner Sat, June 29, 2024

Do enough digging and you’ll find that there is possibly an endless list of things you shouldn’t do with your money. From bad habits to decisions based on wishful thinking, some of the bigger missteps can really cost you.

To find out the biggest money mistakes you should avoid, GOBankingRates asked financial experts for their best advice.

Never Cash Your Paycheck Right Away

If you cash your paycheck right away, you might burn through it too quickly.

“You will most certainly spend it all if you cash your paycheck rather than have your employer directly deposit it into your bank account,” said Barbara Friedberg, a personal finance consultant. “Even better is to automatically transfer a percent of your paycheck into a retirement investment account and direct-deposit the remainder into a bank account.”

One advantage of having a workplace retirement plan, such as a 401(k), is that money is automatically deducted from your pay and invested. You don’t see it, so you won’t spend it. You can use a budgeting template to get the most mileage out of your paycheck.

25 Things You Should Never Do With Your Money

Do enough digging and you’ll find that there is possibly an endless list of things you shouldn’t do with your money. From bad habits to decisions based on wishful thinking, some of the bigger missteps can really cost you.

To find out the biggest money mistakes you should avoid, GOBankingRates asked financial experts for their best advice.

Never Cash Your Paycheck Right Away

If you cash your paycheck right away, you might burn through it too quickly.

“You will most certainly spend it all if you cash your paycheck rather than have your employer directly deposit it into your bank account,” said Barbara Friedberg, a personal finance consultant. “Even better is to automatically transfer a percent of your paycheck into a retirement investment account and direct-deposit the remainder into a bank account.”

One advantage of having a workplace retirement plan, such as a 401(k), is that money is automatically deducted from your pay and invested. You don’t see it, so you won’t spend it. You can use a budgeting template to get the most mileage out of your paycheck.

Never Fall For ‘Special’ Finance Deals You Can’t Afford

Promotional finance offers that provide zero or low interest rates on a big purchase might sound like a great deal — until you wind up paying more than you expected. That’s what happened to Grayson Bell, founder of personal finance website Debt Roundup.

“Don’t finance a new vehicle, or watercraft in my case, based on the low promotional monthly payment,” he said. “I financed a new $10,000 Jet Ski with no money down and no real way to pay for it based on a radio ad promoting a super low $69 per month payment. What I didn’t read was the rate was only for two years, then it changes to include retroactive interest based on the loan amount.”

“Those financing deals can ruin you if you’re only looking at the monthly payment,” he continued. “Go through the math and read all of the fine print. They get you in with the low monthly payments, but keep you paying for much longer than you anticipated.”

Never Co-Sign a Loan You Can’t Afford

Michelle Schroeder-Gardner of personal finance blog Making Sense of Cents said you should never co-sign on a loan for someone unless you have the means to pay it back fully.

“The fact is that you never know if the person will be able to pay every single payment, so it’s best to prepare yourself,” she said.

Never Live Above Your Means

One of the tenets of building wealth is to live below your means. Saving and investing should be your priorities so you can help pay for your children’s college costs and live comfortably in retirement, said Cathy Curtis, a certified financial planner and author of “The Happiness Spreadsheet: How To Create A Budget Aligned with Your Values, Beliefs and Ideals.”

Never Rely Only on Cash When Traveling

Sure, carrying and using cash is a good alternative to running up credit card bills. But Curtis suggested using traveler’s checks or credit cards as an alternative to cash.

Holding substantial cash when you’re traveling can invite unfortunate situations. You could lose it or be a victim of theft, which is not uncommon in certain tourist areas.
