The advisor to the United Nations Population Fund, Mahdi Al-Alaq, explained Tuesday the details of the third phase of the population census, which will continue until next Tuesday, noting that the census is a summary of the five-year development plan 2024-2028.
Al-Alaq told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The census was designed in three stages, the first to familiarize the family and collect simple data quickly before the twentieth of November, after which the enumerators began on 20 and 21 days by visiting families and registering their names and dates of birth and asking five basic questions, ensuring the registration of all family members in Iraq within two days, and the preliminary results were announced."
He added that "the third phase began on November 24 and will continue until the tenth of December, with the aim of completing detailed data, demographically, economically, educationally, socially and healthily, in addition to the number of urban and rural population, males and females, the percentage of households run by women, and questions about housing subject to numbering and counting."
"The census is an indicator for development that is based on recent and detailed data, because Iraq launched a five-year development plan 2024-2028 based on important investments," he said.
Al-Alaq pointed out that "the results of the general population census, once the data collection is completed in the last stage, which ends before mid-December, the Statistics Authority will analyze and classify the data, according to two types of electronic and detailed coding, leading to the final results next February," stressing that "the population census in its international sense is counting all individuals inside the country, including prisoners, refugees, other segments and the disabled, in coordination with the departments of the concerned authorities."

Judy Note
There was 0 intel on Monday about the RV.
- Mon. 2 Dec. 2024 Iraq: Nothing happened this morning regarding Iraq. They still haven’t paid their citizens salaries. Sale of Iraqi bonds from December moving forward will only be in Dinar. From what I can find, those sales started today. CBI has taken over running the currency auctions. This will do away with the parallel (black) market. These two points suggest that we are on the threshold of Iraq releasing their new rate.
- Mon. 2 Dec. 2024: BRICS countries now control over 20% of world’s gold reserves. A recent report from the World Gold Council reveals that the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) collectively hold over 20% of the world’s gold reserves.
