97,500 dinars for 1134 retirees..thats 85.98 dinars per retirees each month for the period of 40 months being paid...sounds about right at a rv rate of 4.851 dollars per dinar. At this rv rate, retirees would be getting somewhere from 316 to 400 dollars a month which is what Americans get in their ssi pension...I know cause my dad gets that a month in his ssi pension here in the USA. If iam correct, Iraqi pensioners should get that amount a month plus the shares they get from the HCL. Rv is here folks

IMO, 1. There probably are a lot of unconstitutional items in this year's budget. 2. They know that passing a budget is only one step to OPENING a budget. Opening a budget takes time to publish it so they can access it. 3. Money and getting re-elected are the ONLY things that motivate all Iraqi politicians. The important thing to me is that, at about the beginning of the month, they "all-of-a-sudden" found a sense of urgency (extremely rare for them and therefore very suspicious) and rammed it through in a very quick and haphazard way. This fifteen day rule regarding presidential approval was no secret - they at least know the rules. So here's my question: What (money-motivated) DEADLINE has suddenly caused them to come together enough and to finally move so quickly that they break the rules in order to shove this through? I don't believe it's that they want to get home and start campaigning.

We don’t have it anymore honey. 1. Since you said it was a scam I sold it 2. I can’t find it, did you take it? 3. The cleaning person thought it was toilet paper 4. There was a huge wind storm 5. Locust ate them 6. There was a flood 7. Earthquake!!!!!!!!

Thanks 6ly410. If you think it is good now wait for the RV party. You are going to meet some great folks.

Well, it is a step in the right direction. I think it is more of a cross over like combining 10k ADAY and Officiallytook. All have accounts in Iraq with the bank issuing the cards. GOI pays out to the cards and you can be anywhere in the world. I see this as more of the infrastructure being established. We have to have bank accounts, bank accounts have to have cards to get paid, GOI pays the accounts, get placed on cards, people using them in Iraq, and people have them internationally and can bills at home. Infrastructure is working. Next step, we just need the RV and go live international. Just a serious of things that needed to get accomplished to before they go live.

" The Warka stock will be purchased at a value of 1 IQD per Warka share...." "There are no limitations to the amount of shares purchased where Warka clients are permitted to use their entire deposits to purchase Warka Stock participating in the Capital increase."

"He also presented to the Council the annual report on stability in Iraq (criteria of fragility) and the great improvement of Iraq according to the level of the International Classification and work to raise it to a higher level and issue a set of directives on this matter." I see a higher credit rating in the near future Go security Go stability Go higher credit rating Go RV Thanks yota.

What a pleasure to be with u all in this journey Thank you

This looks like it is about to go big time.

Ok folks, here’s the real deal. When I got into Dinar, 2012, my wife said it was a scam. Now that we are divorcing she wants part of it. So, there you have it, from the “brown eye in my life” the truth about Iraq Dinar. It is real!

IRAQ ESTABLISHES NATIONAL OIL COMPANY Iraq, March 18, 2018 The Iraqi parliament voted March 5 on the National Oil Company draft law, which regulates oil production and exports and fairly distributes its revenues to the different regions of Iraq. The clauses of the law stipulate that a percentage of oil imports be divided to Iraqis residing in the country as well as the Kurds in Iraq's Kurdistan Region if authorities in the region agree on delivering the oil production from their fields to the Oil Marketing Company (SOMO). Historically, the law forming the Iraq National Oil Company was first issued in 1964 in order to develop oil production from exploration and drilling for oil and natural hydrocarbons to the manufacturing of products. Oil was nationalized in 1972, and foreign company investing was excluded. In April 1987, Iraq decided to merge the company with the Ministry of Oil. SOMO has continued to run the oil transfer and sales operations since its founding in 1998. On March 5, Iraqi Minister of Oil Jabbar al-Luaibi described the vote on the draft law as “a historic decision.” In fact, according to oil expert and general director of the Iraqi Oil Ministry Hamza al-Jawahiri, who participated in drafting the law, “It will allow Iraq to develop fields, refineries and production plants through the efforts of local companies owned by the state. This would guarantee full sovereignty over the wealth of resources and give Iraq independence from relying on the services of foreign companies.” On the administrative and organizational levels, Jawahiri said, “The decision will reduce the burdens imposed on the Ministry of Oil, especially in terms of extraction projects that have previously drained the ministry’s efforts. This is why it was necessary to boost the work of the ministry by bringing back the National Oil Company, which was suspended under the administration of late President Saddam Hussein.” Jawahiri pointed out another major benefit of the project. “The ministry and SOMO will not coincide with the oil company, which will independently exercise its work. So when the company faces obstacles in times of crises and conflicts like freezing its movable and immovable assets through international judicial provisions, the ministry and SOMO would not be affected. This is important since SOMO’s marketing is vital for Iraq’s economy and must be kept far from the issues of the national company,' he said. When it comes to the expected benefits from passing the draft law for the company, member of the parliamentarian oil and energy committee Zaher al-Abadi told Al-Monitor, “The draft law will place the oil production from extraction to exports and manufacturing in Iraqi hands, provided that the company is run from a professional and modern perspective.” Abadi added, “The Iraqi staff is capable of achieving that after having been marginalized since 2003 when foreign companies received all the opportunities.” Abadi confirmed that the project 'will be an achievement in terms of improving income per capita. The Iraqi people will have a 10% share of the oil revenue.” He said that citizens' shares will be placed in a bank account. But Jawahiri does not believe this will benefit Iraqi citizens; he thinks that “the decision to guarantee the citizen’s share is nothing but a political and electoral campaign. By doing so, the parliament is being reckless with funds because it is making the company responsible for public funds, which is actually one of the sovereign tasks of the ministries.” Jawahiri justifies his point of view by asking, “In what ways would granting citizens a share with a value that at best would barely reach $50 per year help, knowing that this would lead to reducing the capital needed for the company to invest in developing its techniques and work?” He also criticized the company’s suggestion when it comes to the partnership with Iraqi Kurdistan. He said, “It’s strange that the project has completely ignored the issue of oil in the region or the way the company would be handling former and current oil contracts signed by the region. It is as if the region is not part of Iraq, which conflicts with the constitution.” He pointed out that “the details regarding the oil contracts of the region and the exploration and drilling operations should be clearly stated in the law.” According to Jawahiri, this probably explains the “reason why the Kurdish components voted for the establishment of the company.” Jawahiri said that any possible amendment to the law that would put Iraqi Kurdistan outside the scope of the company’s work would 'beat the point of the project to control all of Iraq’s oil.” Ministry of Oil spokesman Assem Jihad told Al-Monitor that the national company is 'independent and has a separate administrative board; therefore, it is not involved in the administrative routine and political disputes. The ministry’s task is planning and follow-up.” Jihad added, “The project allows [the people to benefit] from the Iraqi experience and [provides] jobs for the unemployed.” He remarked upon the project's 'importance in the oil market to improve and [rise] up to the level of international refineries, and to attract techniques and advanced excavation and production methods.' The company’s project must be kept far from political, sectarian and national disputes, and it must enjoy complete independence that would allow it to occupy an advanced position among big international companies.Apart from the company’s economic importance, the project also has a moral value. Iraq, which is fifth in global oil reserves, is in dire need of a national company that has high technical and administrative capacities and can stay abreast of developments and techniques, away from the government’s routine — just like Saudi Aramco, for instance. al-monitor link
