 EXCERPTS FROM MARKZ

MZ:  Not a huge amount of news this morning…but I did hear from 2 sources with similar information that made me feel good.

MZ: I had both an Omega (Prosperity Package) contact and a CMKX contact that were both told yesterday by those involved in the process -that is was 72 hours until dollars. They were told this late yesterday afternoon.

MZ: This is pretty exciting because the PP source has not heard anything from the group in over a year. I really like that it came from two different contacts on two different platforms.

JEFF: We're all going to have 90 days to turn in our notes !! @DINARREVALUATION #iraqidinarinvestor

 Parliamentary Finance to Nina: Parliament will first approve the amendment to the budget law, then its schedules

The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed that the Council of Representatives will first approve the draft amendment to the General Budget Law, followed by the approval of the budget schedules later.

Member of the committee, MP Moeen Al-Kazemi, stated to the National Iraqi News Agency / NINA / that "the draft amendment to the General Budget Law relates to resuming oil exports from the Kurdistan Region fields at a cost of $ 16 per barrel instead of $ 6, and this is within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Oil and the Prime Minister's advisors," noting that "the Ministry of Finance is not aware of the technical details related to this."

He explained that "the Finance Committee sought to mature and clarify the feasibility of the draft amendment to the law to the representatives, in order to pass the amendment to the text of Article 12, Second C of the General Budget Law."

He added, "The texts of the three-year budget 2023-2024-2025 are completely fixed except for the text that the government submitted an amendment to, and therefore the government decided to wait for the House of Representatives to ratify Article 12, Second C, to enable it to calculate the cost required to extract and transport oil from the fields of the Kurdistan Region," indicating that "the House of Representatives will first ratify the draft amendment to the General Budget Law and then proceed to ratify the budget tables later."

The House of Representatives is scheduled to hold its regular session this afternoon, Sunday, and its agenda includes voting on the draft first amendment to the Federal General Budget Law for the fiscal years 2023-2024-2025 No. 13 of 2023. link

TIDBIT FROM MILITIAMAN, 19 JAN

 Militia Man 

 First, it was just one day, then it was three days and then today's article says the Prime Minister spent four days in Britain.  It started with meeting of the King of the country and ending with a meeting with the Iraqi community...

Why did they tell you he was going to be there one day then changed it to three days and then ultimately he stayed for four?

I'm on pins and needles because what we're seeing is realtime data, it's no joke.   Iraq is effectively going international...

 Iraq hasn't been on the Forex market at 1310 in an International capacity.  Are they ever going to do that?  

 I don't think so.  When they start mentioning, first time in a long time, coming from the Central Bank of Iraq...telling you exactly what they've done...You're going to see a theme and that theme is, going international.  When they mention Forex, I have not seen them talk about this ever before...Take that whole thing very serious because it's powerful...

MNT GOAT: they are monitoring the parallel market very closely! @DINARREVALUATION #iraqidinarinvestor
