 Parliamentary Finance “Knows Nothing” About The 2024 Budget Schedules - Urgent

Politics |Yesterday, 20:05 |Baghdad today – Baghdad  Today, Monday (March 11, 2024), the Finance Committee in the Iraqi Parliament confirmed that it does not know the contents of the 2024 budget schedules, in addition to not knowing the date of sending them to Parliament.

Committee member Mustafa Al-Karaawi told “Baghdad Today” that “the Iraqi government is very late in the issue of sending the schedules of the 2024 budget law,” noting that “the law emphasizes the necessity of sending those schedules before the end of the fiscal year, that is, before the end of the last year.”

Al-Karaawi stated, “Our last meeting with the Minister of Finance, Taif Sami, in which I confirmed that the tables are still with the Council of Ministers and they are supposed to be sent soon to us in the House of Representatives so that they can be reviewed and voted on quickly so that the budget with all its paragraphs and projects is passed,” pointing out that “to Now we do not know anything about the schedules and we do not know exactly when they will be sent.”

More than two months have passed since the new year without the budget for 2024 being completed, amid the need to make some amendments, especially the costs of oil production in Kurdistan, as well as the costs of the salaries of its employees.   LINK

"RV UPDATE" BY FRANK26, 13 MARCH

JP Morgan I think is going to be extremely important to us...Don't just think that you're going to be limited to Chase and JP Morgan.  I used [them as example] only so that it could be of help to you. 

 To guide you.  At least you know where you can start.  If you don't like them go somewhere else.

  The conditions of the monetary reform are perfect.  All the waiting that we've been having forever and ever is also very perfect because what we're waiting for is just one thing and one thing only, the new exchange rate.  That's it.  The evidence is, banks know now.

IRAQ NEWS DISCUSSION : "IRAQ THINK CHANGE THE IQD RATE" BY MILITIAMAN, 13 MARCH

  Militia Man 

 This is fascinating because this is coming from the Iraqi government today in the same context of Al-Sudani.  

Article quote:   "The Iraq government is currently weighing the question of changing the currency so that the official cost of a US dollar will be 1.32 Iraqi dinars instead of 1320.  

Implementing such a decision is likely to significantly increase Al-Sudani's popularity."  You think!?  Bring the purchasing power of $0.76 - that's what it equates to...deleting the zeros just like we've been talking about.

 They're not going to...build a country at 1310.  The math doesn't work.   I don't care how many times people try to figure that out.  Think about it for a second...1310  dinars to buy a pencil but if you can buy 100 pencils for one dinar because the dinar is worth $3.00, $4.00 or more. How many pencils can you buy? 

 Think about that in bricks, steel, sewer systems, infrastructure, lighting, military operations, airplanes, guns and weapons, grocery stores at 1310 as opposed to 2, 3, 4 bucks.  They specifically bring up and invoke 'previous eras' not me.  I just report that...
