 Iraq has to be Article VIII to ascend to the WTO...Are they going to say they're Article VIII at 1300? 

 No they're not.  Absolutely not.  Theoretically/technically they could but they're not

...How do we know they're not? 

  They'll implode.  They cannot do all the things listed on the budget.  Why would you go at 1300 to 1 when you could go 1 to 4?

AN ECONOMIC EXPERT TALKS ABOUT THE SHORTAGE OF “CASH LIQUIDITY” AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE BUDGET, 5 OCT

 AN ECONOMIC EXPERT TALKS ABOUT THE SHORTAGE OF “CASH LIQUIDITY” AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE BUDGET

The economic expert, Nabil Al-Marsoumi, revealed today, Tuesday, the reason for not releasing the current year’s budget exaggeration until now, despite Parliament’s vote on it early last June.

Al-Marsoumi said in a post on social media platforms, “The Iraqi currency exported, as of August 2023, amounted to about 99.769 trillion dinars, including: 8.7 trillion dinars in banks and 91.069 trillion dinars in circulation.”

He added, “The scarcity of cash in government banks may be the reason that Rafidain Bank was forced to pay only 250 billion dinars out of the first installment of the loan provided to Kurdistan, amounting to 700 billion dinars, which led to not distributing full salaries to the region’s employees.”

Al-Marsoumi pointed out that “the scarcity of cash liquidity in banks may be linked to the government’s failure to pay the internal debt service installments owed to it, and the scarcity of cash liquidity may be the most important reason for not releasing the 2023 budget amounts, which require large government spending in both the operational and investment parts.”

"RV UPDATE" BY JEFF & PIMPY, 5 OCT

 There's a huge consensus out there among most of the dinar content creators that the rate is going to change this coming week between now and this weekend.  None of that is true of course...There's a huge tremendous misunderstanding throughout the dinar community right now...of what's really happening within the dinar investment...

  The budget has not been approved to date.  That means it remains in an incomplete unapproved state...Yes they voted on it since last June but...two Sundays ago Iraq's council of Ministers...did a draft amendment to the budget making it so it's no longer in an approved state.  Parliament still needs to approve the budget again...The budget right now is incomplete and unapproved by parliament.

Article:  "Financial expert: The International financial system prevents Iraq from dealing with non-dollars"  It's kind of hard to be part of a system that prevents you from dealing in non-us dollars...People are not using the central bank.  The United States is not helping the central bank central the issue.  They're creating the issue.  They're creating the black market. 

Article:  "Iraq is fourth in the Arab world by possessing the 'lion's share' of gold reserves"  I always love to hear that.  Right now Iraq is holding 132.6 tons of gold.  You notice that these nations are still buying up large quantities of gold, which is a good sign.
now if you want to know the full story.

Iraqi government approves key measures in 40th Council of Ministers session, 4 OCT

 Iraqi government approves key measures in 40th Council of Ministers session, 4 OCT

Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani led discussions in the 40th Regular Session of the Council of Ministers, addressing vital national issues and outlining priorities for the government's agenda.

During the session, the Council, following the Prime Minister's emphasis on transparent governance and media responsibility, voted to pass the bill granting access to information. The legislation, reviewed by the State Council, will now move forward for consideration in the Council of Representatives as per constitutional mandates. Valuable input from the Legal Department in the General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers and contributions from the Ministers of Health and Justice were considered.

The Council of Ministers declared Yazidi Eid Jama, falling on 6-14 October, as an official holiday throughout Iraq, recognizing the cultural and religious significance for the Yazidi community.

To bolster the agricultural sector, the Council approved an increase in the capital of the Agricultural Cooperative Bank. This increase, totaling 29,476,500,000 dinars, was sanctioned by the Committee for Determining Corporate Capital within the Ministry of Finance. This decision, complying with the Amended Public Companies Law (Law No. 22 of 1997), aims to support farmers and agricultural initiatives.

A parallel move involved the Industrial Bank, where the Council took the following steps:

• Cancel the Council of Ministers' decision (234 of 2014) regarding capital increase due to lack of necessity.

• Submit a new establishment statement for the Industrial Bank to the Ministry of Trade for legal measures regarding capital increase.

• Approve a total capital increase of 529,476,500,000 dinars, incorporating revenues from foreign labor fees for 2021, replacing the previously allocated amount.

The Ministry of Finance is tasked with the implementation of the above decision.

Financial and accounting reform were also priorities. All spending units must now submit funding requests within the operational investment budget directly to the Ministry of Finance's Accounting Department. The respective ministers or governors are accountable for fulfilling legal obligations outlined in the Federal Financial Management Law (No. 6 of 2019) and other relevant legislation.

A direct contract between the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO) and two affiliated companies – the Ministry of Oil's oil tankers and the Ministry of Transportation's maritime transport company – was approved in the energy sector. This contract allocates 70% of exported oil products for transport via the oil tanker company and the remaining 30% through the maritime transport company.

Additionally, the Council decided on various financial allocations, including transferring funds from the Border Ports Authority budget to support the network customs clearance connection program and compensating fish breeders by allocating funds from the Ministry of Finance to the Ministry of Agriculture.

Further approvals included the national framework program document for technical cooperation (2024-2029) and the exemption of contract (22/IRAQ/MOD/POLY/2022) for the supply of CH-5 drones and their fuel from audit and review procedures.
