Tomorrow.. The Kurdistan government holds an extraordinary meeting with the presence of the region’s representatives in the Baghdad Parliament, 12 JAN
To discuss the financial dues file
The spokesman for the Kurdistan Regional Government, Peshwa Hawrami, announced on Friday, January 10, 2025, that the Kurdistan Regional Government will hold an extraordinary meeting tomorrow, Saturday, to discuss the issue of the Kurdistan Region’s financial dues.
“Tomorrow at 10:00, the Kurdistan Regional Government will hold an extraordinary cabinet meeting, attended by the Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region and his deputy, Kurdish ministers in the federal government, representatives of the regional government in Baghdad, and heads of Kurdish blocs in the Iraqi parliament, to discuss the issue of salaries and financial dues to the Kurdistan Region from the federal government,” Hawrami said in a brief statement, a copy of which was received by Al-Jabal.
Last Wednesday, the Kurdistan Regional Government Council of Ministers held a session to discuss the financial situation for 2024 and the federal government’s failure to pay the region’s financial dues. It was emphasized that it is not permissible to continue treating Kurdistan Region employees in this manner in the new year .
Earlier, Hawrami said in a statement to Al-Jabal that “the Iraqi Ministry of Finance did not abide by the Federal Court’s decision regarding the salaries of Kurdistan Region employees,” while he pointed out that “withdrawal from Baghdad is not far away and not impossible, and if the behavior of officials in Baghdad continues in this manner, withdrawal is a possible possibility.”

TIDBIT FROM PIMPY, 12 JAN

...We know that al-Sudani is going to be talking to Trump real quick here.
Last time [Trump was in office] they didn't make any changes and what ended up happening was they had to devalue the dinar before the country went bankrupt.
So this time around they might jump ahead of this and devalue the dinar ahead of time so that the impact is not that hard against the Iraqi people and against Iraq if crude oil prices go down.
Planning: Iraq imports between 50-75 kg of gold per day, 12 JAN
Planning: Iraq imports between 50-75 kg of gold per day
Economy News _ Baghdad
The Ministry of Planning announced on Saturday the date of opening the gold inspection center at Kirkuk airport, while pointing out that Iraq imports between 50-75 kilograms of gold daily.
“The work of the gold inspection centers continues at the recently opened Iraqi airports affiliated with the Central Organization for Standardization and Quality Control in the Ministry of Planning, as these centers operate around the clock at Baghdad, Najaf, Basra and soon in Kirkuk airports,” the spokesman for the Ministry of Planning, said in an interview with the Iraqi News Agency, followed by “Economy News. ”
He added that “there is an increase in the process of importing gold entering Iraq, where it is recorded daily as a general rate of gold by about 50 to 75 kilograms through official outlets,” noting that “there are procedures carried out by inspection units at airports, and that these procedures are as easy as they are, but they are accurate and do not take long due to the presence of very advanced devices.”
Al-Hindawi explained that “Iraq is one of three countries that have such high-resolution devices, whether in terms of weights, marking or inspection,” pointing out that “these procedures greatly facilitated the work of the drafter and reduced the cost that the importer bore in the process of transporting gold from the airport or from any other outlet to the headquarters of the Central Organization for standardization for inspection and labeling.”
He continued: “These procedures have become easy once the shipment arrives at the airport, it is transported through customs to the center or inspection unit located at the airport, and within a short time, perhaps not exceed two to three hours, all these procedures end and the importer receives gold and leaves the airport checked and marked,” explaining that “this would contribute to the protection of the economy and to the protection of the consumer as well.”
