Warnings about the cost of delaying the 2026 budget

  Warnings about the cost of delaying the 2026 budget

 Warnings are increasing about the economic repercussions of the delay in approving the (2026) budget, amid fears of continued losses and worsening uncertainty in the markets.

In response to these warnings, the Finance Committee in the House of Representatives believes that the state has limited options to address the crisis, most notably resorting to borrowing laws or enacting an emergency law similar to the Food Security Law, but activating these options remains contingent on an official request from the government.

The Prime Minister’s financial advisor, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed that the Iraqi economy, which relies heavily on government spending as a major driver of growth, is directly affected by any delay in approving the budget, explaining that this turns into a recession factor that affects both the public and private sectors and creates a prolonged state of instability.

He pointed out that the most prominent repercussions are the disruption of investment projects, especially new ones, as a result of the lack of financial allocations, which negatively affects the labor market through a decline in employment opportunities and an increase in unemployment rates.   link

THE US OVERTHROW OF BAATHIST SUNNI SADDAM HUSSEIN EFFECTIVELY HANDED THE COUNTRY OVER TO PRO-TEHRAN LEADERSHIP WITH COMMENTS OF MNT GOAT

 THE US OVERTHROW OF BAATHIST SUNNI SADDAM HUSSEIN EFFECTIVELY HANDED THE COUNTRY OVER TO PRO-TEHRAN LEADERSHIP

— Al Mayadeen English (@MayadeenEnglish) April 22, 2026

Currently the Coordination Framework (CF), which is the largest Iran-aligned parliamentary bloc of Shia parties, is racing to pick a new prime minister for the country – but reportedly neither of the two main candidates are acceptable to Washington.

There’s a huge lasting irony to the Iraq war and the Bush-Cheney legacy.  The US overthrow of Baathist Sunni Saddam Hussein effectively handed the country over to pro-Tehran leadership. And the US has been dealing with the fallout in the region from the ‘Shia axis’ ever since.

(Mnt Goat:; Someone has to clean up this mess in the middle east left by Bush-Cheney and Obama legacies.)

 OMAR:    We see the Finance Minister talking about how our reserves are reaching the red line level...Everybody in Iraq knows there's no more dollar... 

FRANK:  The CBI is forced now to tap into your reserves or to make large loans for the GOI...The solution is to release the value of your currency.  They know that...The CBI...has no choice but to lift the value of your currency. 

 Alaq knows he messed up.  He knows he's in trouble and Alaq knows his days are numbered...
