Member: Good Wednesday morning Mark and all .

Member: Any RV news…….or are we waiting for next week?

Member: I think the train is pulling into the Station….get ready to reach our destination

Member: Another guru said dinar is showing at $4.19 on forex…Is this true? 

MZ: For moments it popped to that and boy did I have a lot of excited folks. It wasn’t there this morning so I believe they are testing. There are many who think that may be the international or “Street Rate”  ;

Member: Supposedly the bank screens are set. Just waiting for it to show up- official.

Member: 4.91 Monday TNT Tony

Member: They are playing with the rates just to keep us in anticipation!! LOL

Member: Maybe they are playing with the rates just to see who was watching them in the middle of the night?

Member: I believe the PTB don’t want the current admin to take credit for the RV

Member: ​​I think it's more about protecting the RV rather than .taking credit for it.

Member: IMO-Mr. C has always said the RV and Nesara would go at the same time therefore until Trump releases the goldback dollar ...we wait

Member: I heard that they had to wait due to errors trying to run Swift with QFS. Both running at once were not working together. Idk

Member: Heard a rumor that we need a trust to get the contract rate?

Member: Sure are a lot of crazy rumors right now. 

MZ: Every single one of my banking contacts say that is BS. They believe you may need one for your humanitarian projects….when it gets full funding….but I am not a financial advisor. I assume the people selling those rumors are also selling trusts. 

Member: any bond news? 

MZ: No new historic bond updates…Most are waiting for the 16th through the 22nd as of yesterday. Most are looking at the 21st and 22nd now. 

Member: my friend works @ fidelity she believes the market is going to crash but she's told to tell her clients to not pull out. evil.

MZ: In Iraq:  “In numbers- quantities of oil expected from the region despite the suspension of exports . no one knows where the revenues go” They are talking about the oil that disappears from the Erbil region daily. About 300,000 barrels goes missing to the black market and is lining somebodies pockets. This is big money…theft of millions a dollars every day. 

MZ: “Iraqi delegation signs memorandum of understanding in London”  this again makes Iraq going “International” 

Member: Have they done a third reading of the budget law in Iraq yet?

MZ: I have not found that in the news. My sources expect it on Wed or Thurs….Today is Wed.

Member: Thanks for all you do Mark. Mark how do you stay so positive? you're like a super optimist, and it's refreshing

Member: Everyone have a wonderful Wednesday. See you tonight.

MNT GOAT: The CBI told us That the ATM are an integral part of the Project to Delete the Zeros.!!!

2025 budget is on the verge of legislation, and delaying the schedules will not stop the decision

 

1/11/2025

 

Jamal Kojer, a member of the Finance Committee in Parliament, confirmed today, Saturday, that the 2025 budget schedules have not reached Parliament yet, but he stressed that the budget will be legislated during the current legislative session.

 

Kocher explained in a statement to {Euphrates News} that "the delay in the arrival of the tables will not affect the course of the budget legislation, indicating that the next legislative session will be quieter due to the preoccupation of the representatives with the elections, which will reduce their attendance at the sessions."
It is noteworthy that the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, said in a press statement that Article 77/Second of the Federal General Budget Law No. 13 of 2023, which regulates the preparation of the three-year budget, stipulates that the government sends the budget tables for the years 2024 and 2025 to the House of Representatives for approval before the end of the previous fiscal year.
He added that the Ministry of Finance has announced that it is in the process of preparing the general budget schedules for the year 2025, in accordance with the constitutional mechanisms adopted by the aforementioned Triennial Budget Law.

Saleh noted that the federal general budget tables for the year 2025 will be based on the constants of Federal Budget Law No. 13 of 2024, taking into account international and regional economic conditions and their changes, in a way that ensures that the provisions of the budget tables for the year 2025 are adapted within the available legal texts, in addition to relying on the performance of the indicators of the general budget tables for the year 2024.

The House of Representatives discusses amending the Unified Retirement Law and the General Budget

 

1/11/2025

The Iraqi Council of Representatives is scheduled to resume its sessions tomorrow, Sunday, and the first reading of the draft amendment to the Federal Budget Law is on the agenda, as it proposes extending the retirement age for public sector employees to 63 years.

In this regard, Dr. Narmin Marouf, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, said: “The first session of the first legislative term of the new year will be held on Sunday, as the agenda includes the first reading of the draft law amending the General Retirement Law No. 9 of 2014.”

Dr. Narmin Marouf added: “The main article to be amended in the law is Article 5 related to the retirement age, as the amendment proposes returning the retirement age for public sector employees to 63 years, as it was before the legislation of the aforementioned law, which reduced the retirement age to 60 years.”

The Council of Representatives is scheduled to hold another session on Monday 13/10, and its agenda includes 10 paragraphs, the most important of which is the second reading of the draft amendment to the Federal General Budget Law.

The amendment relates to Article 12 of the Federal Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the fiscal years (2023-2024-2025) No. 13 of 2023, and this article concerns the export of oil extracted from the Kurdistan Region through the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO).

TIDBIT FROM MILITIAMAN, 16 JAN

 Militia Man 

 Article quote:   "Iraq achieved a noteworthy diplomatic accomplishment last September when it was formally elected chair of the group 77...held in the United Nations Headquarters in New York. 

 The G77 is the largest intergovernmental organization of developing countries in the United Nations which provides the means to promote their collective economic interest and enhance their joint negotiating capacity on all major international economic issues within the United Nations system." 

 So Iraq is going to go from not even having an international accepted currency to do all this?   Really?  I don't think so.
