Will employees' salaries be released before Eid al-Adha?
Baghdad Today - Baghdad
An official source in the Iraqi Ministry of Finance revealed today, Wednesday (June 5, 2024), the possibility of distributing the salaries of employees before Eid al-Adha.
The source told "Baghdad Today" that "there is no trend so far regarding the distribution of salaries of Iraqi state employees before Eid al-Adha, corresponding to (16) June."
He added that "the salaries of employees as well as retirees will be paid during the current month, on their normal date without any submission to do so, so there is no decision to do so by the Prime Minister or the Minister of Finance."
The Iraqi government was often accustomed to paying the salaries of state employees before the holidays if the holidays coincided with the last days of the month, or if the date of payment of salaries coincided in the middle of the holidays, which prompted the government to pay salaries a day or two before their date.
However, Eid al-Adha will start between 16 and 17 and end between 19 and 20, and the official working hours begin on Sunday, June 23, before the official salary date.

Oil Prices Continue To Decline Amid The Increase In US Crude And Fuel
Energy Economy News _ Baghdad Oil prices extended losses in early Asian trading on Wednesday, after a report showed an increase in US crude and fuel inventories, raising concerns about demand growth.
Brent crude futures fell 14 cents, or 0.2 percent, to $77.38 per barrel by 0005 GMT. US West Texas Intermediate crude futures also fell 18 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $73.07 per barrel.
Both contracts fell about a dollar in yesterday's session on Tuesday and about three dollars a barrel on Monday, under pressure from the OPEC+ coalition announcing plans to increase supplies starting in October, despite recent indications of weak demand growth.
Data from the American Petroleum Institute showed that stocks of crude oil, gasoline and distillates in the United States rose last week. High inventories are usually a sign that supplies are exceeding demand.
Figures from the American Petroleum Institute showed that crude inventories rose by more than four million barrels in the week ending May 31, compared to analysts’ expectations of a decline of 2.3 million barrels in a Reuters poll.
Gasoline stocks also rose by more than four million barrels, which is much more than the two million barrel increase that analysts expected.
