Andyswan43 :I had a thought in the shower... Lol. (And this does tie in to Iraq, so please bear with me) It's more of a "what if"... All over the US, no matter where u live, you see pre-fab homes. (Also called modular homes). The technology on building these homes have advanced 1000 fold in the past 10 years. These days, you can't tell the difference between a prefab and a stick built house.
What if in Basra, Fallusia and now Mousul, they have already built the new banks? (Off site in other location.) what if thete are people working in them right now, stocking office supplies, ect...
And when the Iraqi army and our coalition forces flatten these ISIS controlled banks, once the city is taken back, all it takes is a day or two of prep work on the ground and boom! Pop your new bank in place. Just a crazy thought. That's for reading.

Our New Strategy November 5, 2015
Given the ongoing fragility and conflict in the region, the World Bank Group has prepared a new regional strategy for the Middle East and North Africa. Instead of taking conflict and violence as given and working around it, this new strategy, entitled - "Economic and Social Inclusion for Peace and Stability in the Middle East and North Africa: A New Strategy for the World Bank Group" - puts the goal of promoting peace and social stability in the MENA region at its center.
The strategy is built around four pillars (“the 4 R’s”) that respond to both the underlying causes of conflict and violence as well as the urgent consequences through development interventions that foster inclusion and shared prosperity. The four pillars of the strategy are as follows:
(1) Renewing the social contract – to generate a new development model that is built on greater citizen trust; more effective protection of the poor and vulnerable; inclusive and accountable service delivery; and a stronger private sector that can create jobs and opportunities for MENA’s youth;
(2) Regional cooperation – particularly around regional public goods and sectors such as education, water, and energy so as to foster greater trust and collaboration across MENA countries;
(3) Resilience - to refugee and migration shocks by promoting the welfare of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and host communities by focusing on building trust and building their assets; and
(4) Reconstruction and recovery – through a dynamic approach that brings in external partners, leverages large scale financing, and move beyond humanitarian response to longer-term development wherever and whenever conflict subsides.
In implementing this strategy, the WBG will rely heavily on both deepening and expanding partnerships with national, regional, and global actors, especially the Islamic Development Bank. With respect to financing, the WBG will continue to expand its investment in the region, but in addition to our own funds, the core focus will be on leveraging and mobilizing global resources to meet the extraordinary financing needs of the region through innovative mechanisms. Finally, our knowledge work (including our growing RAS program) will be of prime importance in informing and mobilizing the support for the strategy and will lead (rather than follow) our lending.

FrostytheSnowman: GREAT FIND PURIFIERS !!!
Wow! BackDoc, Thunderhawk and Mountainman are gonna have a field day with this article.
IMO - It's becoming so obvious what they're doing.
Kinda reminds me of the auto industry about 6-7 years ago.
Auto dealers that watched the markets (and political moves) and could tell that gas prices were going to go way up, quickly sold off their gas guzzling SUV and large luxury car inventory BEFORE the gas prices went up and stocked up on small cars.
Remember the death of Hummer and big rigs like the Ford Excursion?
Dealers that weren't paying attention took a bath on those big trucks back then, as customers demand smaller economy cars.
IMO ... Canada's move here is very smooth.
Likewise, IMO ... If you pay attention ... you get to win twice. ;) Frosty
Purifiers wrote UPDATE ON GOLD RESERVES... 3 MUSKETEERS, REPORTED...
Canada has just 77 ounces of gold-- or less March 05, 2016
(NEWSER) – The US holds about 8,133 metric tons of gold. That's 8,133 more than Canada, according to newly released data. The Canadian government sold off 21,851 ounces of gold in February, leaving it with just 77 ounces at most, reports Bloomberg.
Those 77 ounces are worth about $100,000, but the official value of Canada's gold reserves is $0 because asset valuations are rounded to the nearest $1 million.
That goose egg is actually a good thing in the government's perspective. Canada hoarded some 1,000 metric tons of gold in the 1960s but has been slowly selling it and stashing other countries' currencies instead. Canada holds $48.6 billion in US dollars and $22.5 billion in other currencies, reports the Globe and Mail.
"The government has a long-standing policy of diversifying its portfolio by selling physical commodities (such as gold) and instead investing in financial assets that are easily tradable and that have deep markets of buyers and sellers," a Finance Department rep tells the CBC.
A former finance official adds that holding onto gold isn't economical because it hasn't had a good rate of return over the years and is costly to store. Clearly not everyone agrees: Russia, India, and China, are shoring up their reserves. Still, one professor suggests the only reason the US Federal Reserve isn't selling its gold is because "it knows it would get attacked in Congress."

Iran to Become Mideast’s Next Economic Superpower
Domestic Economy
With international sanctions on Iran being lifted, the country boasts one of the most advanced and diversified economies in the Middle East and North Africa region, a leading online publication that provides analysis on political risk and geopolitics for the business community said.
Global Risk Insights added that Iran will become the next Middle Eastern economic superpower by 2025.
The Iranian nuclear deal struck at Vienna last year will undoubtedly lead to a tectonic shift in the Middle Eastern balance of power, allowing Iran to confidently reenter the international fray.
Discussions concerning the emergence of a reenergized Iran persist, with the Saudis in particular fearing an Iranian domination of the Middle Eastern landscape for the foreseeable future. Unshackled economically, Iran is more than likely on course to become a regional economic superpower over the next 10 years, with growth rates of around 3.5% expected this year. This would place Iran as the second fastest growing economy in the MENA region.
According to the International Monetary Fund, since 2011, sanctions have wiped off between 15-20% from Iranian GDP.
In addition to this, the nuclear deal will also unfreeze billions of Iran’s overseas assets (estimates range from anywhere between $50 billion and $150 billion). This infusion of liquidity into the Iranian economy, coupled with the fact that Iran is already MENA’s most diversified economy, provide the ingredients for Iranian economic superpower status by 2025.
Additionally, Iran will also be able to add a further 1.5 million barrels of oil per day to the world markets. While it will not be able to match Saudi Arabia’s overall oil output, Tehran does hold a distinct advantage over its rival by virtue of the fact that the House of Saud, despite recent efforts to diversify, remains a one-trick pony heavily reliant on petrodollars to prop up its economy.
Buffeted by international sanctions, Iran remains rich in natural resources. Iran’s economic future appears bright, with circumstances conducive to regional superpower status by 2025.
> Iran’s Geopolitical Standing
Understanding Iran’s Middle Eastern role over the next decade cannot be disentangled from its relationship with Riyadh.
Though Saudi Arabia fears a normalization of the US-Iranian relationship, while both Iran and Saudi Arabia continue to look for incremental advantages in their relative positions across the region. The Saudi-Iranian tensions will continue to dominate the regional landscape.
Vali Nasr, one of the world’s preeminent scholars on Shia Islam, argues that Saudi Arabia and Iran will continue to tussle for power and the collapse of the Arab world has intensified this battle for predominance.
As the winds of change sweep through the region, the Saudis’ insecurities have heightened, with the Saudis fearful of American move towards the Iranians in the form of the nuclear agreement.
Riyadh sees the deal as Iran returning to the region, which in turn will see an Iran that is very difficult to contain. Saudi Arabia has also lost its position as America’s premier ally in the region.
All of these factors explain why the Saudis continue to use the sectarian card, in order to create Sunni hostility against rising Iranian influence. This is a tactic by which the Saudis are hoping to block the rising Iranian influence.
Iran has obvious potential to dominate the MENA region economically, as its economy heats up post-sanctions. Its well-diversified economy will enjoy the benefits of a return to international trade, aiding it in its quest for regional dominance.
