Is the budget really showing their people what the GOI thinks of the economic future? Shafaq News / Dozens of angry people stormed on Wednesday, security barriers surrounding the fortified Green Zone in central Baghdad, which includes government buildings and embassies of countries as the United States of America. This is the second consecutive day in which people from the families of the martyrs continue their protests to stop the paragraph of stopping their pensions within the budget of next year for lack of financial allocations because of low oil prices and the global markets. According to activists and the media , dozens of demonstrators were able to break into the security barriers in that area, but they were not able to penetrate more after riot police imposed a cordon around them.

"An official at the bank said they had a rescue plan and had offered customers cars and real estate in place of their money." Crooks they are..

I believe this is the Kurds PM's approving the agreement and the HCL in whole still needs to be passed by GOI (parliament)

I just dont see Abadi going out making statements to the world that they are still trying to find solutions to advert a financial crisis, if an RV would solve all these problems. That is not building world financial confidence in Iraq... I HOPE I AM WRONG, but an RV may not be on the horizon..

Thanks Deb45

How many reading must the parliament have prior to vote for approval?

by Thomson Reuters HOUSTON, Sept 5 (Reuters) - Iraq has refiled a suit in U.S. court in a bid to gain control of some 1 million barrels of disputed Kurdish crude oil on a tanker near Texas, days after the court said it lacked jurisdiction to have the cargo seized but that it could hear arguments about who is the oil's rightful owner. The United Kalavrvta tanker, carrying about $100 million worth of Kurdish crude, has been stationed near Texas since late July, as the central government of Iraq wages a legal battle against Iraqi Kurdistan over who has the sole right to export crude. U.S. District Court Judge Gray Miller had invited Iraq to replead the case. (Reporting By Terry Wade) http://research.tdwaterhouse.ca/research/public/Markets/NewsArticle/1314-L1N0R61NX-1

Just out http://www.iraqinews.com/baghdad-politics/urgent-jobouri-nominated-as-parliament-speaker/

Kurds have demonstrated how to have a functional government, despite the shunning by Maliki. The Kurds warded off ISIS with just a percentage of troops compared to what Baghdad army has. So the demand for the Kurds to have 18% in the Iraq army can be argued...its not quantity its quality. For Baghdad to demand the Kurds to conform to a dysfunctional government is absurd. I know that may not be good for our Dinar, but its probably good for several hundred thousand people in Kurdistan for their security and their standard of living. I hope the Dinar pans out for us, but if people are better off at the cost of my profit....I am okay with that.
