Al-Sudani chairs a meeting to follow up on the outcomes of the Washington visit and issues guidance to the advisors

The Prime Minister, Mr. Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, chaired, this evening, Tuesday, a meeting that included a number of advisors to the Prime Minister. The meeting discussed the file of the Washington visit, and the follow-up of the implementation of the agreements and understandings concluded by the official Iraqi delegation, headed by the Prime Minister, with the American side, during the last visit, based on the government’s approach in closely following up on all the files it is working on, including those related to foreign relations and understandings with Governments of countries, the latest of which is the relationship with the United States.

The meeting witnessed a discussion of the results of the meetings of the Supreme Coordinating Committee (HCC), concerned with activating the framework agreement between Iraq and the United States with its seven axes, as well as a discussion of the important economic partnership file concluded by the Iraqi private sector with major American companies. 

Mr. Al-Sudani stressed the importance of following up on the understandings reached between Iraq and the United States in many areas, in order to arrange the bilateral relationship, in a way that serves the highest interests of Iraq. His Excellency pointed to the need to benefit from the competencies that the Iraqi communities abound in reconstruction campaigns and service provision, In implementing the priorities of the government program, His Excellency described these competencies as idle wealth.

He also directed to appoint a special secretariat for the Supreme Coordination Committee ( HSS), and emphasis on continuing periodic meetings, to follow up and review what has been accomplished.

"RV UPDATE: RESPONSE TO BREITLING POST BELOW" BY PIMPY, 1 MAY

 Pimpy 

 [Response to Breitling post below.] 

 To strictly say the sole reason they added the three zeros to the Iraqi dinar is policy based inflation is not accurate.  Yes, it was the central bank of Iraq that devalued the currency...[and] added the 3 zeros...

The first gulf war you can see what the inflation rates were.  1991 - 180%.  That's really high.  '92 - 83%.  '93 - 207%.  1994 - 448%.  1995 - 387%.  When you average all these thing up, by the time we got into re-denomanating the currency and the new Iraqi dinars were created getting away from the Saddam notes and Swiss dinar to the currency we have today all these things contributed to it.

 Hyperinflation, mismanagement, all those things played a key part.  So there is no one thing that happened.


Al-Fateh: Washington is fighting for its continued presence inside Iraq, 1 MAY

  Al-Fateh: Washington is fighting for its continued presence inside Iraq

 On Monday, a member of the Al-Fatah Alliance, Mahmoud Marei, confirmed the falsity of the American administration regarding the issue of removing combat forces from the country after the Dutch ambassador’s statement of the continuation of the international coalition’s mission in Iraq, while he stressed that Washington is fighting for its continued presence inside Iraq.  

Mar'i said in a statement to the Al-Ma'louma Agency, "Washington continues to create crises and raise security, economic, and societal problems, to use them as an excuse to stay in Iraq," noting that "targeting Iraqi military and security symbols is one of Washington's malicious plans." 

He continued, "The Iraqi Islamic Resistance's rejection of the foreign presence is the most prominent obstacle that America has failed to overcome," noting that "the continued foreign presence in Iraq represents the largest military operation compared to the many victories of the resistance that were achieved against them in the previous period." 

Mari concluded his speech: “Foreign embassies work through many malicious plans that they spread within society in order to gain public opinion’s support for the military presence,” pointing out that “the United States of America is fighting for its continued presence inside Iraq.” 

The Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands to Iraq, Hans Sande, had confirmed in a statement that his country would take over the leadership of the NATO mission in Iraq in mid-May, indicating that it would be the largest in the world at the level of institutions outside the Dutch borders. 

The State of Law Coalition, in an interview with the Maalouma Agency, described the formation of joint committees to remove foreign combat forces as a blatant American game, while stressing that the exit of American forces will not take place through diplomatic means or political negotiations.  link

"RV UPDATE" BY BREITLING, 1 MAY

 Breitling

  The threat of a lop is still the same as when I got into this investment...The lop question is based on hyper-inflation ...verses policy inflation.  The Iraqi dinar is stable.  It goes up, it goes down but it's not major like what Zimbabwe and these countries where it was massive inflation.  No body could control it.  Iraq has complete control of the Iraqi dinar ...

The Iraqi dinar is a completely different ballgame.  It's not hyper-inflated because of the markets.  Iraq doesn't have a customer problem...production problem.  Iraq has a policy issue.  The people at the top know what they are doing.

When I did the evaluation [of the dinar] it was against countries and currencies that had lopped.  I had the same questions as you guys when I invested.  Where is this going?  How can this work? 

 I found out the value was in a policy based inflation, they want to add value to it, they injected US dollars into the economy, devalued the dinar.  Thedinar you and I have has nothing to do with hyper-inflation, major market problems or anything like that...Yes, they can add value to currencies that have a lot of zeros behind it.  Iraqi dinar is stable.  They can and are going to add value to it.

Budget schedules postpone the House of Representatives' recess, 30 APRIL

 Budget schedules postpone the House of Representatives' recess

The Parliamentary Finance Committee expects the general budget schedules for the year 2024 to arrive at the beginning of next May.

The tripartite budget tables need to be reviewed periodically every year, to adjust project costs and salary bills and include new projects. This means that the budget is past and does not need to be approved in full, since it was approved last year.

The 2024 budget is at a standstill between the government and the House of Representatives, despite the approval of a tripartite budget for the first time in the country’s history, and despite the fact that the Ministry of Finance sent the tables more than a month ago to the Council of Ministers, at a time when the Parliamentary Finance Committee demanded that the government send the final accounts of the previous budgets.

The Finance Committee is awaiting the arrival of the budget schedules, according to a previous statement by its Chairman, Atwan Al-Atwani, to “correct the path of the budget by maximizing non-oil revenues, encouraging the private sector, and reducing operational spending,” while the House of Representatives decided to extend its legislative term, which will end next May 9, “until it is approved.”

"RV UPDATE" BY FRANK26, 30 APRIL

 FRANK26
Sun. 28 April Iraq, Frank26

 “Eddie said Saleh on TV saying the Budget is in force and active, and there’s no need to send it to Parliament for approval. Tomorrow they will hold a special session to elect a House Speaker, finally. They announced a new electronic platform called SAP, saying this platform allows the currency to go international. And the world wants to communicate with Iraq and do business with them. The budget does not need Parliament anymore. 

Sudani removed Parliament from the monetary reform process, that’s why they’re upset. The budget is waiting for the exchange rate. The budget is prepared, the budget is ready. It does not need laws, or signatures, it’s ready. 
The exchange rate needs to come out as soon as possible to shut Parliament up, and the budget will kick in before Parliament before they can blink an eye.

 Iraq was invited to the big boy party in Saudi Arabia because they have a big boy rate. The budget is an operational budget. When it was voted on a while back it was intended for paying for  operations inside Iraq. Now Sudani can make any kind of change without a vote. Sudani, IMF, World Bank, CBI, US Treasury and the citizens  are all forcing the exchange rate.

MZ: “Russia prepares for total crypto ban as geopolitical tensions rise”  The reasons  they are  giving  is they want to support the asset backed value of the Ruble . Cryptos could derail all their efforts.  If Russia wants their sovereign currency to do well….This tells us we are close to the reset.

That is what is showing on bank screens. I do not know  it’s a place holder rate….but it is showing up a lot.

He stated that “the general budget for the year 2024 has become obligatory to implement since the country entered its new fiscal year and in accordance with the laws and financial and economic data contained in the texts of Law No. 13 of 2023 mentioned above, including operational expenses and investment expenses for current and new investment projects, as long as they occur.” Within the general budget constants No. 13 above.

Saleh stressed, “The text stated in the Tripartite Budget Law that the executive authority submits tables related to expenditures, revenues, and the estimated deficit for the current fiscal year 2024 is a constitutional and supervisory context and falls within the duties of the legislative authority. Based on the above, working with the constants of the Federal General Budget Law (The tripartite budget does not conflict with the progress in implementing the requirements of the national development projects programme, especially in implementing new whose allocations are approved within the law, and that This executive mechanism is the basis on which the tripartite budget philosophy was based, which provided legal flexibility in advancing the wheels of economic development projects without time delays and loss of time opportunities. Therefore, presenting the expenditure and revenue schedules for the fiscal year 2024 a context undertaken by the legislative authority within its constitutional oversight duties to ensure the progress of implementation of the federal tripartite budget law.”
