Parliamentary Finance Calls On The Government To Expedite Sending The 2024 Budget To Parliament, 18 MARCH
Parliamentary Finance Calls On The Government To Expedite Sending The 2024 Budget To Parliament
Economy 11:37 - 2024-03-17 The Parliamentary Finance Committee called on the government to expedite sending the budget to the House of Representatives, especially since its schedules have not undergone any change and its chapters are fixed, indicating that the delay is blamed on the government and thus reflects negatively on the performance of the ministries.
Committee member, Faisal Al-Naeli, said in a press interview: “The budget schedules for 2024 were long overdue, and it would have been better for them to reach the House of Representatives at the beginning of this year, especially since the items are fixed and remaining and no discussion or change has occurred to them, only the schedules that included financial allocations.” For the items that were confirmed in the 2023 budget.
He believed that "the delay is blamed on the government, and all ministries that depend on operating the budget are basically at a standstill." Al-Naili called on “the government to send all the budget schedules, complete and calculated accurately, so that they are not returned to the Council of Ministers and take time to change, delete, and add,” indicating that “the House of Representatives is ready to discuss the budget as soon as it arrives and complete the approval of its schedules.” https://kirkuktv.net/AR/Details/20039
"RV UPDATE" BY PIMPY, 18 MARCH

Everybody thought Iraq was at the end of becoming a member with the World Trade Organization...Come to find out they're just barely at the beginning stages. What does this mean for Iraq? How long is this going to take? Wikipedia quote: "An offer of accession is given once consensus is reached among members. The process takes about five years on average but can take some countries almost a decade...The shortest accession negotiation was...2 years and 10 months. The longest were that of Russia lasting 19 years and 2 months."
It [the article] doesn't say the exchange rate is $1.32, more likely what it is Al-Sudani will change the exchange rate where you can buy 132 dinar for $1. That's a 90% increase
. I don't know about you but I'd be pretty happy with that. I'd be content with that. I know a lot of you are expecting million, that doesn't mean it can't happen but if we're allowed to keep this currency that we have right now with all the zero and they change the exchange rate I'm going to count my blessing and sell them because I'm not going to take the risk of hoping for a higher exchange rate and then turn around and delete the zeros. $37,000 is not too bad for less than a $2,000 investment.
