I do think it is ironic that ON GROUNDHOG DAY something finally changed.

'Ya we'll see and I'll believe it when I see it.............(being the skeptic that I am) I've seen this movie too, too, too many times to believe that this is really true ......... One thing that I believe is that US President D.J. Trump will not allow Iran to dictate reality in the Middle East and Iraq ........... Just sayin' ...................................

We shall see if this opens things up. I don’t mean to be cynical, but after all these years it is very hard not to be. Nevertheless GO RV!

My understanding is that Trump just forced Iraq to install a bunch of House of Representatives people who were voted into their representative job that were never allowed to take their seat as representatives. The corrupt were not letting them in and so nothing good was getting done. Now they're in position as of yesterday and I think it's time to move forward

Following nearly two-year halt Iraqi parliament passes budget law amendments paving way for Kurdistan oil exports 17:52 BAGHDAD – The Iraqi parliament passed amendments to the federal budget law for fiscal years 2023, 2024, and 2025, paving the way for the potential resumption of oil exports from the Kurdistan Region. Lawmaker Narmin Maarouf, a member of Iraq’s parliamentary finance committee, told 964media that the budget law amendments were approved during a session on Sunday. “According to the amendments, Kurdistan Region’s oil exports through Ceyhan port are set to resume, but sales will be conducted through [Iraq’s] State Oil Marketing Organization,” Maarouf said. Oil exports from the Kurdistan Region via Turkey’s Ceyhan port were halted on March 25, 2023, following an international arbitration ruling in Paris against Turkey in a case filed by Iraq. Iraqi Parliament Deputy Speaker Shakhawan Abdullah stated on his Facebook account, “Thanks to God, the parliament has voted to approve the budget law amendments. There is no excuse in the way of the resumption of the Kurdistan Region’s oil exports and the transfer of its budget.” In November 2024, Iraq’s Council of Ministers approved a proposal to address compensation for the production and transportation costs of oil from the Kurdistan Region. Although the final rate had not yet been set, Baghdad has suggested an initial advance payment of $16 per barrel. This proposal was approved in today’s parliament session.

I think we should understand it as: a group walked out of the vote, but they passed it anyways.

Iraqi Deputy Speaker: Budget amendment resolves Kurdistan oil, salary disputes IraqbreakingoilKurdistan 2025-02-02 06:16 Share font Shafaq News/ On Sunday, Iraqi Deputy Speaker Shakhawan Abdullah announced that obstacles to oil exports from the Kurdistan Region have been resolved following Parliament’s approval of the federal budget amendment. He confirmed to Shafaq News that oil exports will resume, with the primary objective of ensuring timely salary payments for public sector employees. Abdullah thanked all parliamentary blocs that supported the amendment, calling it a “major step toward reintegrating Kurdistan’s oil sector into global markets,” emphasizing that selling oil through Iraq’s State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO) “eliminates the federal government’s justification for delaying the Region’s budget allocations.” Despite some disputes during the session, lawmakers agreed to pass the amendment. Abdullah noted that “any modifications would have restarted negotiations, setting progress back to square one, given that the agreement involves the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), the federal government, and oil companies.” The resolution follows a series of meetings between KRG representatives and the Iraqi government, with the most recent taking place on Friday. Meanwhile, the issue of public sector salaries has been a longstanding source of tension between Baghdad and Erbil, particularly after Iraq’s Federal Supreme Court ruled last year that the Iraqi Prime Minister and the KRG Prime Minister must deposit Kurdistan’s public sector salaries directly into federal banks. While Baghdad has insisted on full employee lists before disbursing funds, the KRG Ministry of Finance has criticized the process as “unclear” and “impractical.” The Kurdistan Region has faced severe financial strain since losing a key revenue source after Turkiye halted oil exports via the Ceyhan pipeline following an international arbitration ruling that ordered it to compensate Baghdad for losses caused by Kurdistan’s independent oil exports. On the other hand, the Iraqi federal government is struggling with a budget deficit exceeding 64 trillion Iraqi dinars (approximately $49 billion), while domestic debt accounts for 14.5% of Iraq’s GDP, according to official data.

The amendment sets the rate at $16 a barrel, up from an earlier proposal for $7.9 a barrel for transport and production costs, which was rejected as too low by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The parliamentary approval marks a key step in resolving a nearly two-year dispute over Kurdish oil exports and in improving ties between Baghdad and Erbil. The resumption of exports is also expected to ease economic pressures in the Kurdistan region, where the halt has led to salary delays for public sector workers and cuts to essential services. "Parliament's approval is very significant to resolve oil dispute between Baghdad and Erbil and it will help expedite the resumption of Kurdistan oil exports to boost the country's revenues", said Kurdish lawmaker Rebwar Orhaman.

(Photo: INA) IraqMohammed Shia al-Sudanifederal budget law amendment ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani has welcomed the parliament’s approval of amendments to the federal budget law, describing it as a responsible and constructive step, according to an official statement published by the Iraqi News Agency (INA) on Sunday. Al-Sudani also urged both the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Federal Ministry of Oil to immediately begin implementing the revised provisions of the budget. Iraqi government spokesperson Basm al-Awadi emphasized that the parliament’s vote on the amendments, which align with the text proposed by the Council of Ministers, marks a significant milestone in ensuring political stability and strengthening cooperation between the executive and legislative branches. "This decision reflects the high level of cooperation between the government and parliament, reinforcing a shared commitment to accelerating development, reconstruction, and reform efforts," al-Awadi stated. He further stressed that the government remains dedicated to addressing challenges with a strong sense of responsibility, prioritizing Iraq’s supreme national interests. Call for Immediate Action on Oil and Resources Following the amendment's passage, al-Sudani called on the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Federal Ministry of Oil to swiftly implement the revised provisions, ensuring the optimal utilization of the country's natural resources, particularly its oil wealth. "Let this resource serve as a pillar of stability and a driving force for further achievements in national development programs that meet the needs of our people," he concluded. The budget amendment is expected to play a key role in fostering greater economic cooperation between the Iraqi federal government and the Kurdistan Region, addressing longstanding disputes over oil revenues and resource management. on Sunday, the Iraqi Parliament approved a key amendment to the federal budget law. This crucial step will allow oil exports from the Kurdistan Region to resume.

Dissolve Parliament. They are ineffective.

The big one is done , 3 more to go . The parliamentary session will focus on four key agenda items. The primary item is the approval of the first amendment to the federal general budget law for 2023-2025 (Law No. 13 of 2023). Other matters include revisions to the academic degree equivalency law, review of Ministry of Education recommendations, and a second reading of the private universities higher education bill.

Iraqi Parliament Approves First Amendment to General Budget Law for 2023-2025 PoliticsbreakingParliamentBudget Law 2025-02-02 06:23 Share font Shafaq News/ The Iraqi Parliament voted, on Sunday, on the draft law of the first amendment to the Federal General Budget Law of the Republic of Iraq for the fiscal years (2023 - 2024 - 2025) No. (13) of 2023. For his part, independent MP Ahmed Majeed announced in a statement to Shafaq News Agency that members of the House of Representatives from the central and southern governorates boycotted the parliament session held today, considering that voting on the budget is "a violation of the law and the internal regulations of the council due to the lack of a legal quorum." Majeed explained that "the number of representatives present does not exceed 140 representatives, which means that the quorum is not achieved," stressing that they doubt the legitimacy of the session. He added: "We will file an appeal with the Federal Court against the House of Representatives for violating the law and proceeding with the vote on amending the budget law." The Iraqi Council of Representatives held its fourth session of the first legislative term of the fourth legislative year a short while ago, headed by the First Deputy Speaker of the Council, Mohsen Al-Mandalawi, with the attendance of 176 representatives, and the boycott of about 50 representatives. A parliamentary source told Shafaq News Agency, "The representatives of the Central and Southern Front boycotted the session in protest against the amendment of the budget law. The number of representatives of the Front is about 50 representatives, most of whom are independents." Representative of the Central and Southern Front, Raed Al-Maliki, said during a press conference held in the parliament building with the participation of representatives and attended by a Shafaq News Agency correspondent, "We are a group of representatives from the central and southern governorates who boycotted the parliament session on Sunday due to the paragraph amending the budget law." Al-Maliki added, "We requested that there be a joint administration with the regional government, and that companies be obligated to review contracts, and that other articles be reviewed, including Article 14 of the budget law, in addition to other articles and the deficit in the budget law." He stressed, "Our demands relate to implementing the rights of the central and southern governorates and financing the government contracting expenses of companies contracting with local governments." Parliament Speaker Mahmoud Al-Mashhadani, who is currently visiting the Iranian capital Tehran, announced before his departure that Parliament will approve today, Sunday, amending the general budget in accordance with the text sent by the Council of Ministers.

The representative of the framework, Mohammed Radhi, told Shafaq News Agency, "There is a political agreement to pass the amendment to the budget law during today's session, as the text of the amendment was mentioned by the Iraqi government. There is a political and parliamentary will and desire to support the government's steps to resolve the differences with the region." Radi added, "The agreement to pass the amendment to the budget law came in order to push the government to expedite sending the 2025 budget schedules, as no one wants to disrupt this budget, to prevent obstructing the construction and reconstruction process, and launching many strategic and important projects during this year." The Finance Committee of the Iraqi Council of Representatives announced yesterday, Saturday, that the Council of Representatives will vote in today’s session, Sunday, on the government’s proposal to amend Article 12 of the General Budget Law.

They haven’t finalised the Budget for 2023-2025 yet and 2025 is well underway.. soon it will be time to start discussing the 2026-2028 Budget. They sure now how to expedite things 😃

the fact is all crypto is extremely volatile. It is a gamble, just like the lottery. You have to stay on top of it and know when to hold and when to sell. Honestly, I am a very small investor due to lack of liquidity for myself. But what I have seen is to make big bucks in any crypto, you have to invest BIG money. I am talking about 5-6 figures to make BIG money invested in any one coin. You see something you like, dumo 50k in it and watch the numbers. YOu can make big money but it is a gamble and sometimes you lose.
