Clare: Al-Sudani: Four Iraqi government ministers referred to the judiciary.
8/9/2025
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced on Saturday that four ministers in the current federal government he heads have been referred to the judiciary for proven negligence in their duties.
This came in a speech he delivered during the first conference on government performance evaluation, under the slogan “Performance Evaluation: A Path to Government Reform and Excellence.”
In his speech, Al-Sudani said, “Four ministers were referred to the judiciary due to indications and suspicions of corruption that accompanied their performance.”
He added, “The investigation was conducted by those ministers, and the negligence and shortcomings were proven. We approved the results of that investigation and sent them to the Integrity Commission, which is now before the judiciary for a decision.”
Al-Sudani also complained about partisan quotas in his government, saying: “It is natural for quotas to lead to dysfunction and failure in work.”
The conference included the results of the work of the Higher Committee for Performance Evaluation and its subcommittees, which worked to implement the government’s program commitment to monitoring and continuing the process of examining and evaluating the performance of officials. LINK

Clare: Al-Sudani: Unfortunately, most political forces have obstructed the process of implementing the ministerial reshuffle.
8/9/2025
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani accused unnamed political forces in the current federal government he heads on Saturday of obstructing a cabinet reshuffle of six ministries.
This came in a speech he delivered during the first conference on government performance evaluation, under the slogan “Performance Evaluation: A Path to Government Reform and Excellence.”
In his speech, Al-Sudani said that the evaluation results revealed that six ministries were in need of a ministerial reshuffle, adding: “Our government is a coalition government composed of political forces, and in order to carry out this reshuffle, we must first consult with them. Unfortunately, most political forces opposed the process of carrying out this reshuffle.”
He pointed out that the evaluation results for six ministries clearly indicated weak performance, adding that some political blocs had presented far fewer replacements than those presented, in a clear attempt to obstruct this process. LINK

Clare: Al-Sudani reveals the results of the government performance evaluation and emphasizes reform and the fight against corruption.
8/9/2025
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani affirmed on Saturday that the government has made reforming and upgrading state institutions a central goal since the beginning of its work, emphasizing that implementing the government’s program cannot be achieved without effective and successful tools.
During a government performance evaluation conference, Al-Sudani indicated that a mechanism has been put in place to evaluate the country’s top leadership after the government assumes its duties, without resorting to any hasty decisions.
He explained that a special committee, comprised of university professors and experts, conducted a transparent evaluation of the performance of general managers, advisors, and ministers. He noted that he personally supervised the committee’s work.
He added that the committee was committed to ensuring integrity and impartiality in its evaluation, avoiding any bias or capriciousness, and that its report resulted in the dismissal of some officials and the confirmation of others.
The Prime Minister explained that the committee conducted 1,135 evaluations, leading to the dismissal of 41 general managers, and that the process of evaluating officials prompted them to follow up on projects on the ground.
Al-Sudani stated that the evaluation committee recommended including six ministers in the cabinet reshuffle, stressing that the government had not hesitated to implement the cabinet reshuffle included in the government program.
He pointed out that some political forces had proposed replacements of a much lower standard than the ministers who had been evaluated.
The Prime Minister also affirmed that the government addressed indicators of financial and administrative corruption immediately, without waiting for the results of the assessment. He explained that four ministers had been referred to the judiciary due to indicators and suspicions surrounding their performance.
He explained that the negligent parties had been identified, the results of the investigation into the ministers had been approved, and they were being presented to the judiciary.
Al-Sudani stressed that one of the negative indicators of the political process is the quota system in appointing key leaders in ministries.
He called on everyone not to exploit government websites for electoral or political purposes, stressing the government’s commitment to implementing reforms and achieving tangible results for citizens.LINK

Frank26 When you look at this whole monetary reform, it’s an RI (reinstatement) of the value from 2003 but the Minister of Planning and the Minister of Finance back in 2012 were told by the GOI that $3.22 will not be enough due to inflation, you have to add at least 20% to that figure. That was 2012. You see why I don’t believe in $3.22? IMO Alaq is planning the truthful seed that your exchange rate outside of Iraq is going to grow past the RI $3.22…[Iraqi citizens] will have purchasing power…These are exciting times.
Mnt Goat …substantial increase in the IQD will not happen until the currency of Iraq is once again traded on FOREX and the other global currency exchanges. This is an event that will be a culmination of decades of monetary reforms, events that we have witnessed… This event of reinstatement is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN unless the US Treasury gives its approval…One of these conditions is to remove the PMF… Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) law, which empowers armed groups linked to Iran and terrorist organizations from Iraq…This condition is a critical order from the US to Iraq…I believe all us investors in the IQD should be paying lots of attention to what is going on in this area… I assure you this topic is going to be resolved one way or the other, meaning Iraq will remove the PMF from Iraq…or it will suffer severe sanctions and reprimands of all sorts.

“It’s Starting NEXT WEEK! Gold & Silver Prices Will Soar DRAMATICALLY” – Rafi Farber
Finance Log: 8-9-2025
Farber’s analysis focuses not on broad policy trends but on the mechanical architecture of the market, specifically, the repo markets and how they interact with bank funding, brokerage margin debt, and collateralized trading positions.
As reverse repos dry up and available liquidity in the overnight markets tightens, the pressure intensifies on a highly leveraged trading ecosystem.
If dollar liquidity seizes up even briefly, institutions will be forced to sell securities to cover their exposures. This isn’t theory—it’s how the market is built.
And once these sales begin, they will spread rapidly across stocks, bonds, and even commodities. That’s where the Federal Reserve comes back in.
Unlike past cycles, the Fed now understands the margin of delay it has before a liquidity freeze becomes a full-blown panic.
In 2008, intervention took months. In 2019, it took weeks. In 2020, just days. This time, it will be hours.
Once new stimulus floods the system to stabilize funding markets, real assets will respond immediately. Gold will break through resistance levels, moving swiftly as the dollar weakens.
But it is silver that may exhibit the most extreme price action, benefiting from both monetary revaluation and rising practical utility in a world where trust in fiat currency continues to decline.
