Amnesty, Drugs, And The 2024 Budget Are The Most Prominent Laws Of The Next Legislative Term, 10 JAN

 Amnesty, Drugs, And The 2024 Budget Are The Most Prominent Laws Of The Next Legislative Term

Iraq  01/09/2024     Baghdad: Omar Abdul Latif  The Legal Committee in the House of Representatives has placed the laws on general amnesty, narcotics and psychotropic substances, and amending the 2024 budget among its work priorities during the next legislative term.

Committee member Dara Hama Sikanyani explained to Al-Sabah that the committee had previously discussed the general amnesty law and sent it to the Presidency of the House of Representatives to include it on the agenda.

He added that the law must be amended in a manner commensurate with the crimes that have occurred in society and to prevent the release of terrorists whose hands are stained with the blood of Iraqis, stressing the need to include these groups in the penal code.

Sikanyani pointed out that the committee discussed many times the law on narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances because of the importance of this law in preventing the circulation of narcotic substances, which is considered the most dangerous scourge in the country, as it causes financial losses, destroys the energy of youth, and breaks up families socially.

He stressed that the next legislative term will witness an amendment to the 2024 budget, especially the financial entitlements of the Kurdistan region, due to the difficult circumstances its citizens are suffering due to the delay.

"RV UPDATE" BY PIMPY, 10 JAN

 You guys out there think I don't know what I'm talking about because you don't listen.  I never said the exchange rate is going to be 12 to 1 in the year 2026.  I said the article that talks about the 12 to 11 exchange rate I found it interesting because they're talking about revisiting that in 2026.  What I'm curious about is if they're going to finally allow the Iraqi people to have access to that 12 to 1 exchange rate or is it just going to be used for other purposes like it was last time...

   12 to 1 is better than nothing.   A lot of people will get out...If it goes 12 to 1 95% of the people are going to jump the hell out of it.  They'd be scared that something would happen and screw everything up.  They'll take it.  I'll take 12 to 1.  I'm not greedy. I'll take 12 to 1, that gives me $333,000.  I'd be very happy with that.  Don't get me wrong, I would take more but I'd be very happy with that.    [Note:  Use the Dinar Guru Calculator to determine how much USD you'd make.  Link is at the top of this page.]

ou'll see changes IMO after the end of the 1st quarter of this year.  I might be wrong on that but I'm anticipating.  With all the trading they're doing, the fact that they got rid of the dollar, that is going to cause the Iraqi dinar to increase in value to the point where they might have to change the exchange rate...But any major major changes like 12 to 1 that's not small.  That's a big change in the exchange rate.
