Clare: Members welcome Iraq’s return to WTO accession talks after 16 years

18 JULY 2024

ACCESSIONS

At the third meeting of the Working Party on the Accession of Iraq on 18 July, WTO members welcomed the formal resumption of the country’s accession process after a 16-year hiatus, commending Iraq for its renewed political commitment and engagement in the accession process.

Iraq reaffirmed its pledge to join the WTO, highlighting significant economic and legislative reforms.

Mr. Atheer Dawood Salman Al Ghrairi, Iraq's Minister of Trade, led a high-level delegation from Baghdad at the third meeting of the Working Party. Ambassador Saqr Almoqbel of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, who chaired the Working Party for the first time since his appointment last year, welcomed Iraq's return to Geneva after many years, highlighting the significance of the formal resumption of Iraq's accession process. “The Minister's presence here, the first since 2008, sends a clear signal that Iraq's accession process is now back on track,” he remarked. The Working Party held itssecond meeting in April 2008and aninformal meeting in November 2017.

The Chair acknowledged “the tremendous efforts by everyone, of course, starting with Iraq, but also members and partners, as well as former Chair Ambassador Omar Hilale of Morocco, to make today's meeting a reality”. He also referred tohis visit to Baghdadin January 2024, where he met with senior Iraqi government officials, including President Abdul Latif Rashid.

Minister Al Ghrairi noted the importance of the meeting, which “represents a distinctive step for the Government and the people of Iraq towards becoming a full-fledged member of the WTO, a target we seek to achieve as a means to enhance our national economic strategy and integration in the global economy”. He further stated that despite ongoing security, political, and regional challenges, “the Government of Iraq remains steadfast in its commitment to pursue a reform agenda in terms of enhancing trade policies, boosting the business environment, and creating favourable conditions for foreign investment.”

Minister Al Ghrairi highlighted the special importance attached by the Government to aligning its trade policies and regulatory frameworks with international rules and standards and strengthening institutional capacities to meet WTO requirements. “The National Committee on Iraq's Accession has intensified efforts and made substantial progress in fulfilling the accession requirements,” he said. Ahead of the third Working Party meeting, Iraq submitted key negotiating documents, including its initial market access offers on goods and services.

WTO Deputy Director-General Xiangchen Zhang stressed the significance of this meeting not only for Iraq but also for the Arab region, which still has a large number of accessions under way. “As the largest region outside the multilateral trading system, this moment signifies a renewed opportunity for progress and collaboration towards accession for Iraq and hopefully other Arab nations aspiring to join the WTO, enhancing regional and global trade dynamics.” He also emphasized the importance of technical assistance and capacity building in the region, especially for Iraq in view of its status as a post-conflict country.

Members highlighted the significance of Iraq's accession for the multilateral trading system. Many Arab members emphasized that Iraq's accession would contribute to regional integration efforts in support of peace and security. Other participants in the meeting included observer governments and international organizations.

Iraq provided an update on its initial contacts with members regarding bilateral market access negotiations, noting that initial offers on goods and services were submitted in early May. The Iraqi delegation expressed readiness to further engage with WTO members.

The Working Party discussed various aspects of Iraq's foreign trade regime based on its revised Memorandum of the Foreign Trade Regime (MFTR) and other supporting documentation. Iraq provided a report on legislative developments, highlighting its latest efforts to conform with WTO-related rules.

Next steps

The Chair invited Iraq and WTO members to intensify bilateral negotiations on market access, building on the recent contacts.

The Chair invited members to submit specific questions in writing by 15 August. He also asked Iraq to provide replies to members' questions and to submit other requested accession documents. The Chair asked the WTO Secretariat to work with Iraq to revise its MFTR, which will serve as the basis for continuing the examination of Iraq's foreign trade regime at the next meeting of the Working Party.

In addition, the Chair asked Iraq to revise its Legislative Action Plan and submit copies of WTO-related legislation to provide an up-to-date picture of ongoing reforms.

The importance of technical assistance was emphasized, with several members and international organizations offering support. The Secretariat plans to organize a Round Table to discuss Iraq's technical assistance needs to further facilitate its accession process.

The Chair suggested that the fourth Working Party meeting could be scheduled for the first quarter of 2025, contingent on the progress of the outlined steps.

The Best Strategy for Financial Freedom and Retiring Early

Ghazal Ahmed Fri, July 19, 2024 Insider Monkey

This article takes a look at the best strategy for financial freedom and retiring early. Check out our complete list of 20 Strategies for Financial Freedom and Retire Early.

Here are the strategies for financial freedom and retiring early:

20. Run the numbers

According to T. Rowe Price, your likelihood of an early retirement starts with evaluating your current savings rate and spending levels. Using online retirement income calculators is a good start, allowing individuals to assess their likelihood of early retirement based on their current planning levels.

By accounting for factors such as current levels of saving, life expectancy, and expected retirement age, retirement calculators allow individuals to make informed goals about investing, saving, and spending habits.

19. Clearly Define Your Financial Goals

Once an individual has assessed where they currently stand, it’s time for them to clearly define their financial goals. Start by setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. For instance, “I want to retire early” is a vague goal.

However, “I want to retire by the age of 50” is specific. SMART goals can help individuals formulate a targeted plan that includes timelines, money goals, and tangible benchmarks. The FIRE movement states that an individual needs to build up a net worth of 25 times their estimated annual expenses and spending to achieve financial independence.

18. Create a Detailed Plan

Creating a detailed plan outlining how one will go about achieving one’s goals will take them to the next step towards financial freedom and early retirement. From setting timelines to allocating resources, there is plenty to cover in this detailed plan.

Individuals should make sure to include a detailed budget that reduces unnecessary expenses and creates some savings after accounting for all necessary expenses. The FIRE movement prioritizes saving and investing 50 to 70% of income, if not more.

17. Financial Education

Financial education has a huge impact on the quality of retirement and the decisions that one makes towards it. Therefore, one strategy for financial freedom and early retirement is being financially literate.

According to data from the 2022 TIAA Institute P-Fin Index, retirees with high financial literacy were “more likely to plan and save for retirement” than those who were not. Having longevity knowledge is another prerequisite as appropriate decision-making related to retirement is contingent upon understanding how long a retirement can last.

16. Minimize Debt

Building up savings is important, but so is clearing off debt. This is because debt interests may far outstrip the interest on savings that you may earn. Charles Schwab recommends prioritizing debts instead of trying to pay them all at once. Credit card debts should be a first priority, with a primary focus on high-interest debt. One may make minimum payments on the rest, if possible.

Be careful of loan consolidation offers as many of them have upfront fees and hidden costs. Also, minimizing debt and saving for retirement can be done together. The way is to save enough in your retirement account to leverage the entire employer match, pay off high-interest debt, create emergency funds, and then save some more for retirement.

15. Pay Off Mortgage

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sat. 20 July 2024

Compiled Sat. 20 July 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington,

Fri. 19 July 2024 on NESARA, The 17th Letter (JFK Jr.)

As the clock ticks down to this financial D-Day, one thing is clear – the world as we know it is about to change. The question is, are you ready to be a part of this revolution?

In a world where the truth is often stranger than fiction, a groundbreaking revelation stands on the brink of transforming our very existence. This is not just another story; this is the untold narrative of NESARA, a plan so monumental, it redefines the global financial and political landscape.

Imagine a world where financial abundance is not just a dream but a tangible reality. A world where every human being could be a millionaire in British pounds, free from the shackles of debt. This isn’t a fantasy; it’s a hidden truth, veiled from the public eye, but now, it’s time to pull back the curtain.

NESARA, a term that resonates with the promise of justice and equality, is set to revolutionize our planet’s resource distribution. This isn’t just about monetary reform;it’s a complete overhaul of the banking system,designed to extend its benevolent reach to every corner of the globe. The plan is so comprehensive, so all-encompassing, that no individual or organization, no matter how powerful, can halt its momentum.

The implications are staggering. Credit card debts, mortgages, and other financial burdens imposed by corrupt banking practices will be wiped clean. The oppressive yoke of income tax will be lifted, replaced by a fair, fixed tax on non-essential new items. This isn’t just a financial reset; it’s a liberation of the common man from the clutches of fiscal.

The financial landscape will be revolutionized with the introduction of a new U.S. Treasury rainbow currency backed by precious metals. The Federal Reserve System, a symbol of financial manipulation, will be dismantled. Personal financial privacy will be restored, and all legal professionals will be retrained in Constitutional Law.

NESARA’s vision is not just national but global. Aggressive U.S. military actions worldwide will cease, ushering in an era of unprecedented global peace. Every American citizen over 21 will receive $100,000 monthly for 11 years, but first, the claims of the Farmers will be addressed, including a $300,000 debt forgiveness for each farming family.

This is not just about America; similar reforms will ripple across the globe. Enormous funds will be allocated for humanitarian purposes. Suppressed technologies, such as free energy devices, pollution-cleaning equipment, and sonic healing machines, will be released for the benefit of all.

The term “NESARA” may have been shrouded in secrecy, unable to be used publicly to describe this global package of prosperity and humanitarian aid. But the time for secrecy is over.

Mnt Goat ...This current Al-Sudani administration is now moving Iraq ahead, yes out of this past rut...It is right in our faces now...The train is racing down the track only to make the necessary stops along the way...It is a hard road for Iraq... There is work to be done...No more “guessing” or “hoping”. The reinstatement spigot is now wide open! It is in our faces!...

Sandy Ingram Question: "How is Iraq going to do business in the international market with such a low currency rate?" This is why Iraq will need to increase the value of its currency. Currency values... act as a silent force influencing a country's global competitiveness. When a country's currency value is low it can impact it's ability to compete...Iraq's top trading partners are China, India, South Korea and on the sidelines Iran. However things are about to change and fast. The development road project places Iraq right in the middle of the global financial markets. [We] have little doubt the Iraqi dinar will increase in value but we don't know when or how much.

Peter Grandich: The BRICS are Changing the Landscape for Gold Investors

Palisades Gold Radio: 7-20-2024

Tom welcomes returning guest Peter Grandich from Peter Grandich and Company for a discussion on current economic risks and market trends.

Grandich expresses concern over the markets' failure to acknowledge major issues. He argues that gold markets show some recognition of these issues, while the stock market remains complacent.

With experience through three financial crises, Grandich warns that this situation is more severe due to political division and lack of meaningful solutions from Congress or the Fed.

He criticizes the Fed's role in exacerbating debt through money creation during the pandemic.

Peter discusses societal shifts towards consuming beyond means and their impact on happiness, the stock market, and the economy.

He traces these trends to the influence of television and the internet, which have convinced people that they need more money for happiness. They note that some of the happiest people have little or no wealth while some wealthy individuals are unhappy.

He criticize politicians' approach to economics compared to household management, resulting in societal issues like increasing consumer debt and a culture of living beyond it's means.

Grandich discusses potential risks to the markets, including political instability leading up to the U.S. election and the impact on foreign investors divesting from American securities.

He emphasizes gold's importance as a store of value in the new economic structure and advocates for capital preservation due to perceived market overvaluation.

Grandich encourages individuals to build a "financial ark" through self-sufficiency, preparing for potential financial hardships, and diversifying portfolios with stocks, bonds, and gold. He also mentions the junior resource market as an area of potential undervaluation for companies searching for metals and base metals.

Why Were Iraq And Most Arab Countries Not Affected By The Technical Glitch That Hit The World?

Baghdad Today - Follow-up A global technological outage has caused many sectors around the world to stop working, most notably airports and financial banks, today, Friday, (July 19, 2024), but the matter was different in Iraq and most Arab countries, as well as China and Russia .

In Iraq, the Civil Aviation Authority rushed this morning to clarify that “the country’s airports were not affected by the technical glitch in the global computing systems,” while the Cyber ​​Security Center at the National Security Advisory confirmed today that “Iraqi government institutions were not affected by the global electronic glitch .”

Kuwait, Lebanon, Morocco and Egypt announced that their countries were not affected by the global technical failure because they do not use Microsoft in their operations; they were not affected by the outage .

Questions were raised about the reason for the systems stopping in some countries while they did not stop in other countries, especially Iraq and other Arab countries, but by knowing the reason for the technical failure, the reason for that can be reached .

The Microsoft outage was linked to a new update from CrowdStrike, a cybersecurity software company, and caused disruptions across a range of sectors, with stock exchanges, airlines and banks the most affected .

Accordingly, and according to tracking data from technology companies, the outage only affected computers that use the CrowdStrike cybersecurity system on Microsoft systems, which means that computers running on Microsoft's system, and not using the CrowdStrike cybersecurity system, were not affected by the global glitch .

What Is The Benefit Of Iraq Joining The World Trade Organization? Al-Monitor Sheds Light On The "Secrets"

Money and business Economy News - Follow-up Iraq announced the resumption of negotiations to join the World Trade Organization for the first time since 2008, a step that may benefit the Iraqi economy but will take a long time.

Al-Monitor reported in a report translated by "Al-Eqtisad News" that "the Iraqi negotiating teams began "preparatory meetings" at the headquarters of the World Trade Organization in Geneva, and the Iraqi delegation included officials from ministries in the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government, while another meeting will be held at an unspecified date to review Iraq's accession to the World Trade Organization."

The World Trade Organization is an intergovernmental organization that aims to promote international trade. It provides a platform for governments to negotiate trade rules and disputes among themselves. Member states make key decisions. The WTO has 164 members who say they are responsible for 98% of world trade.

Iraq first applied to join the WTO in 2004, the year after the U.S. invasion that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein. A “working group” was then set up, but there has been little progress since then. The group last met formally in 2008. An informal meeting was held in 2017, according to the WTO’s website.

The process has gained significant momentum recently. In January, a WTO delegation visited Baghdad “to mobilize political support for the resumption of Iraq’s WTO accession process.” The discussion focused on Iraq’s economic reforms and was led by Saqr bin Abdullah Al-Muqbil, Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the WTO and chair of the Iraq Accession Working Group, the organization said in a statement at the time.

A basic requirement for WTO accession is consistent trade policies across the country, including tariff rates and customs procedures. Thus, differences in the tariff structure between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government have been an obstacle to Iraq’s efforts to join the WTO.

The UN team for Iraq said in a statement that Iraq decided to unify the two customs systems in 2019, and the Federal Ministry of Finance finally approved the unified customs tariff framework in February of this year.

Joining the WTO could benefit Iraq. According to a report issued by the Council on Foreign Relations in April 2023, the WTO has been largely successful in expanding free trade.

The Council noted that the dollar value of international trade has quadrupled since the establishment of the World Trade Organization in 1995, and that average tariffs do not exceed 3%.

According to the Council on Foreign Relations, there are also negative aspects to the WTO.

The council noted in the report that "globalization and free trade have their drawbacks. These include the potential for economic inequality and job loss."

The WTO has been particularly criticized for its application of rules toward China.

“The WTO is also struggling to perform its third function – enforcing the rules – particularly with China. Since joining the WTO in 2001, China has violated global trade rules by providing extensive subsidies to its domestic industries and stealing technology and other intellectual property. China has faced few, if any, consequences for its actions,” the council said.

China has a growing presence in Iraq, and there have been significant Chinese investments in Iraqi oil and infrastructure in recent years.

The WTO says it has helped facilitate poverty alleviation in developing economies by promoting trade.

In September 2023, WTO Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told the Center for Strategic and International Studies: “Over the past generation, market-oriented reforms in places like Eastern Europe, India, and China, together with the open global economy anchored in the GATT/WTO system, have boosted growth and trade and helped lift more than a billion people out of extreme poverty.”

GATT stands for General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the predecessor to the World Trade Organization.

Iraq's trade is dominated by oil. Crude oil accounted for 90% of Iraq's $123 billion in exports in 2022. Iraq imported $67.1 billion that year, with the main imports being refined petroleum, broadcasting equipment, and cars.

These figures gave Iraq a trade surplus of more than $50 billion in 2022, according to the Observatory of Economic Complexity.

Iraq may have a long wait before joining the WTO. East Timor joined in February after seven years of negotiations. Comoros joined at the same time — a process that took 17 years, Arabian Gulf Business Insight reported at the time.Views 63 07/20/2024 - https://economy-news.net/content.php?id=45390

Iran Reveals How It Gets Dollars For Gas Exported To Iraq

Economy 2,424 views Alsumaria News – Economy The Iranian Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee revealed, today, Saturday, the mechanism by which Iran obtains dollars in exchange for gas exported to Iraq, despite the American sanctions.

Iranian parliamentary committee member Ali Akbar Alizadeh told the newspaper "Ettelaat", followed by Sumaria News, that at the beginning of the 13th government (Raisi's government), gas exports to Iraq reached the lowest possible level, but with the redesign of energy trade, the relationship with Iraq developed, and a contract was signed to export gas to Iraq for 5 years.

He added, "In a settlement with Iraq, we also found a new way to clear with fuel oil, by replacing Iranian gas with Iraqi fuel oil," noting that "due to the activity of our private sector in selling fuel oil, we obtained a high income from foreign currencies, and in this way, we strengthened the clearing settlement system."

7 Biggest Ways You’re Wasting Money While Traveling

Andrew Lisa Fri, July 19, 2024 GOBankingRates

Travel demand continues to soar, and naturally, prices have soared along with it.

If you have a vacation coming up, you should expect to spend more — but you should also strategize to spend less wherever you can. Knowing which purchases don’t deserve your dollars, pesos and euros is the best way to start.

Here are the most common budget-busting wastes of money to avoid when you travel.

Buying Pricey Gift Shop Trinkets

The easiest way to waste your money on any vacation is in the gift shop. Usually, the shot glass, coffee mug or indigenous mask you splurge on winds up collecting dust in a box soon after your return flight touches down.

“Most tourist destinations have souvenir shops that charge significantly higher prices for their merchandise compared to the local markets that are outside the tourist hotspots,” said Kevin Mercier, founder of the travel blog Kevmrc.com. “Travelers often end up wasting their money by purchasing souvenirs like keychains, shirts, and magnets at these over-priced shops. I always compare prices at different shops before purchasing, which helps me make a more informed decision.”

Overspending on Hotels

As the COO of Exotic Voyages, a luxury travel company offering private and custom-made tours, James Thai knows it’s easy to save money on hotels and resorts no matter your budget or lifestyle. However, it’s also just as easy to overspend.

“One of the biggest money traps for travelers is splurging on accommodations,” said Thai. “While a comfortable stay is important, it doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. Avoid overpaying for hotels in prime locations or choosing luxury options when budget-friendly alternatives are available. Consider staying in guesthouses, hostels or vacation rentals, which often offer excellent value for money without compromising quality. Additionally, booking your accommodation well in advance or taking advantage of last-minute deals can help you secure affordable rates.”

Dining at Tourist Traps

When you eat at the crowded and trendy restaurants you see in hotel and train station brochures, overspending is always on the menu.

“Another common mistake is falling into the tourist trap of expensive and mediocre restaurants,” said Thai. “Instead of dining at heavily advertised tourist hotspots, explore local eateries and street food stalls where you can savor authentic cuisine at a fraction of the cost. Engage with locals or consult online resources to discover hidden gems that offer delicious food and an immersive cultural experience. Not only will you save money, but you’ll also embark on culinary adventures that create lasting memories.”

Paying Foreign Transaction Fees

Although overpriced souvenirs and tourist-trap restaurants are ill-advised purchases for tourists on a budget, at least they give you something to show for your dollars. But when you pay for the privilege of spending money, you might as well just throw your cash in the trash.

“One of the things people spend the most amount of money on unnecessarily are foreign transaction fees,” said Nicole Cueto, a certified travel advisor with Fora Travel who’s visited 41 countries and all seven continents. “When paying for something abroad with your credit card and prompted with the choice of whether to pay in the local currency or your home currency, always choose the local currency. You’ll get the best conversion rate. It might not seem like a big difference, but it adds up.”

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Sat. 20 July 2024

Compiled Sat. 20 July 2024 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington,

A Global Blackout was necessary for NESARA/GESARA to be entered: Major Alert! Rolling Blackouts Across the World Happening Right Now! Banks Are Shutting Down! All Flights Are Being Cancelled! The Stock Market Has Crashed! Mass Media Will Be Gone! The Internet Will Be Shut Off! A Global Cyber Outage is Affecting Airlines, Banks andMedia From the US to Australia

Global Currency Reset: (“Rumors/Opinions )

Fri. 19 July 2024 Wolverine: New Dinar Rate published Sun. night. Tier4b notification Mon. 22 July.

The Pretorious Group has started in Brazil – about 7 to 8 leaders that have been paid.

We will be hearing about the global startup on Monday 22 July. It was going to be Saturday, but now it is set for Monday. There were no delays, going beautifully right now, just that it will be Monday.

Pentecostal Group is quiet as they have been told to stay quiet and send no audios. They started paying their leaders, but I do not know much as so much is under the radar and they are told to be quiet.

Private contractors are still getting paid. I have seen the documents and certificates. I saw one and there were so many zeroes I could not count them all. The majority of those monies go to humanitarian projects.

We have been told that this is the week we are waiting for, and I know we keep saying that and it is and it is absolutely stressful hearing the same each week, I do not like saying the same thing each week. Please have faith it is coming.

This audio came out a few hours ago: “Pastor, pastor, it is official the Global Blackout has been made, and at this moment all is paralyzed – Nesara and Gesara are now entered. Please see CNN now…” I do not watch CNN.

Reports received 18th of July which is encouraging: 25,000 Dubai 1 debts have begun to be paid. 12 trigger (p—) funds to be paid by today or tomorrow. 10 to 12 mega file sellers will receive contracts in the next few days, Dubai 2 buyers will receive funds in the coming days for their preselected and initial files.

The New Iraqi dinar Exchange rates will FINALLY be published directly on the Forex screens on Sunday evening 21 July 2024.

NOTE: As usual – Remember all these events are subject to normal setbacks, but there are many positive signs to support these claims. We will see.

In a conference this morning they confirmed the completion of the pilot test and its full payment before the end of this week. This pilot test is a requirement of the purchasing table to start the entire process which is scheduled for the end of next week.

Today they will send us instructions that include the payment process and inspection missive to the warehouses where the material is located.

So that is what is happening at the moment. I have absolute faith this is coming. Hopefully we will get notifications for the Tier4B group any day now. It will come when you least expect it. With the blackout and things coming from different channels.

I was on a zoom call with my group and they all said this is the end of the old system and now we will be seeing the new system coming through. We will wait and see. Remain in faith. This is definitely coming.

Frank26 If you have a 50k note and you live inside of Iraq that 50k note is going to be on a completely different exchange rate. The exchange rate will have value. It'll be based off the American dollar maybe 1 to 1 or more. When it goes international in a float it's going to go up and they're going to cap it and everybody's happy...
