[via PDK] Article: “The coming hours may witness the signing” This is about the Erbil/Baghdad oil agreements . There is a lot of back and forth right now.
But articles are saying they have worked through the issues and signing is imminent. We saw this same kind of back and forth in Kuwait.

Iraqi Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani announced on Sunday that he and Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani had reached solutions to the Kurdistan Region's employee salary crisis, which will be discussed in the coming days.
This came during Mahmoud Mashhadani's visit to Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, and his meeting with Nechirvan Barzani, in the presence of Deputy Speaker of Parliament Shakhwan Abdullah and Chairman of the Parliamentary Integrity Committee Ziyad al-Janabi. The meeting focused on mediation efforts to resolve the crisis of the region's employees' salaries, in accordance with constitutional legal procedures.
According to a statement from the Iraqi Parliament received by Shafaq News Agency, the meeting discussed the relationship between the central government and the region within constitutional and legal frameworks, the need to neutralize the issue of employee salaries, and the need to resolve it without political disputes. Solutions should be discussed in a friendly atmosphere, away from political escalation.
According to the statement, both sides expressed full readiness to initiate a serious dialogue on this crisis, and for the House of Representatives to play a key role in bringing the parties together on solutions proposed by the Erbil and central governments to achieve a harmonious administrative relationship free from political repercussions. Solutions have been reached and will be discussed in the coming days.
Al-Mashhadani stressed, "In these sensitive circumstances, we need unity to resolve outstanding issues, and the central government will seriously address any practical proposals to resolve the crisis. He explained that we stand with the Kurdish citizen because he is part of the Iraqi people, just as is the case with the citizens of all Iraqi provinces."
Earlier today, Mahmoud al-Mashhadani and Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani discussed the Kurdistan Region's employee pay crisis and the search for a final solution. They agreed to submit serious proposals to the federal government.
In another meeting today, Kurdistan Regional Government Prime Minister Masrour Barzani and Parliament Speaker Mahmoud al-Mashhadani agreed not to involve the issue of salaries for public sector employees and workers in the region in any political disputes between Erbil and Baghdad.
The Kurdistan Regional Government's Council of Ministers confirmed last Wednesday the implementation of all federal government obligations regarding the region's oil exports through SOMO, and the transfer of sales proceeds to the federal Ministry of Finance. The Council called on Baghdad to end the "policy of depriving" Kurdistan citizens of their salaries.
The Kurdistan Region's employee salary crisis is one of the most contentious issues between Baghdad and Erbil, amid ongoing debate over oil exports, constitutional obligations, and fiscal policies. This makes the upcoming meetings between the two sides pivotal in breaking the current political and financial deadlock.

They have a lot of older steps coming forward very close to the timing of this new budget period...they're about to approve the budget amendments.
Some of the long-awaited items they're waiting for do require the rate change and they do suggest they're about to come forward in very close proximity, maybe during the second half of July...
