Shafaq News / The presidency of the Iraqi Council of Representatives decided on Thursday to extend the legislative term for 30 days starting from 9/11 of this month.
This comes after Mohammed Al-Khafaji, a member of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, revealed to Shafaq News that the current legislative term of the House of Representatives ends on the 9th of this month, and that its extension for another month is subject to Article 58 of the Iraqi Constitution.
He added that according to this article, the legislative term can be extended at the request of the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, or 50 deputies, provided that the extension is approved by the vote of the majority of the members of the Council.
Al-Khafaji explained that the extension comes to regulate the work of parliament and approve the pending laws, as the past period witnessed repeated postponements in the sessions of the Council and the incompleteness of the agenda.
He pointed out that the extension will provide an additional opportunity for the government to send the draft budget law for 2025, which is supposed to be sent before the end of this year. He stressed the importance of the government taking advantage of this time to avoid the delay in the budget this year.

MZ: We know auctions for US dollars are due to stop this year. They have been very clear on that. From both the Governor of the Central Bank and Al-Sudani. The auctions right now are taking trillions of dinar out of circulation ….which increases the purchasing power of their currency…..It is a clear preparation for a change in value.

Member: Good Evening…. I hope we have good news tonight
Member: I hope everyone has had a fine day?
Member: YeeHaaa I'm praying for a weekend release.
Member: This is a 3 day weekend for Veterans day.
MZ: There is a lot of anticipation for this weekend.
Member: Mark ???? So now what happens ??? RV ???
MZ: Bonds, bankers, groups were dead silent today…..I go straight to voicemail on many of them. I don’t’ know if that means they moved forward…(hope it does) or maybe they were up till 4:30-5:00 Am waiting for the event. So IMO they are regrouping or things starting ripping in the wee hours this morning. The whole world is pivoting and adjusting right now.
MZ: “2025-Strong National Economy and solid banks” They are telling you what they have done and how prepared they are for the future. How solid and secure they are. Flashback to Dr. Shabibi saying “You give me a stable and safe Iraq and I will give you a higher value” We are watching his plan play out.
MZ: “Central Bank Governor stresses the need for cooperation to facilitate trade with Azerbaijan” Why is this important? International trade. And what do they need for international trade? An internationally accepted currency
MZ: “Sudani congratulates Trump and vice President on winning the White House race” Sudani believes it will bring stability to the middle east.
MZ: “Trump wins with the dollar at a new high-the beginning of a new era?” This is coming out of Iraqi news. They are concerned they need to move forward quickly because the dollar gained an enormous amount of strength. Higher than it’s been in a year.
Member: I would love to see Iraq do something quickly.
Member: Bottom line- the Dinar to the dollar is 1310 or .00076. No way can they build their country back at that rate. They would go broke. They have to revalue their currency.
Member: Mark does the dinar have to be on the FOREX before we go?
MZ: They go on the forex at the same time we go. That’s how I was told.
Member: I heard the HCL was in the Gazette today
MZ: I did not see it in the Gazette today. I would imagine it would be on the front page. Do I expect it at any moment? I do.
Mark, do you think the outcome of the election makes a RV more likely to occur soon, or perhaps sometime after the inauguration?
Member: Monday November 11th is Veterans Day
Member: Really hope we RV by Thanksgiving.
MZ: MilitiaMan is planning on joining us tomorrow morning with a new update . Unless something comes up.
Member: Your watching amazing progress happening...more than ever...Biblical, Historical WIN!!!...Our Worldwide RAINBOW is AHEAD
Member: Thanks to all….sleep well and maybe tomorrow is our big day.

1. Emphasizing commitment to Federal Court Decision No. (73/Federal/2010) regarding the general population census. 2. Conducting the census in the disputed areas by a joint team from the three nationalities (Arab, Kurdish, Turkmen) with the addition of a Christian individual in areas with a Christian majority. 3. Cooperation between the Statistics Authority and the Kurdistan Regional Statistics Authority with the Federal Ministry of Interior to compare the data of the ministries with the census results. 4. Allocating the general census results to the Federal Planning Council and the Ministry of Planning in the Kurdistan Region. 5.

The Council also approved a proposal to amend Article (12/Second/C) of the Triennial Budget Law No. (13 of 2023) to include several points related to compensating the Kurdistan Regional Government for the costs of oil production and transportation, as the costs of production and transportation will be calculated by an international technical advisory body.
Developing the work of civil defense
In the framework of developing the work of civil defense, the Council approved allocating an amount of 25 billion dinars to the Ministry of Interior to establish 100 civil defense detachments in Baghdad and the governorates, and approved a direct contract with the Chinese company SANY to purchase 18 fire engines.

Completing stalled projects
in the field of infrastructure, the Council approved the establishment of a component for equipping medical devices and supplies within the emergency hospital project in Rania and increasing the cost of projects to demolish irregular buildings and build alternative schools.
Other decisions
The Council approved the draft law amending the fifth amendment to the Civil Aviation Law, amending the price of gas oil for the National Paralympic Committee’s wheels, and concluding lease contracts with the Independent High Electoral Commission.
