Can't seem to find any info on this guy. I guess it's just good that they finally moved on from Halbousi. Hopefully it's not His cousin or brother from another mother!!

Something tells me it would result in an instant replay of Barry's 1st pull out. Exchange quickly maybe?

Always been in back of my mind that the DS doesn't want the "common folk" to benefit from an RV in any way. BUT I also believe in powers beyond the DS's control.

Their business and expertise is in Oil and Gas. They're just fat greedy thugs that don't want to share any profits with the citizens ...

Baghdad hosts the oil and gas conference next week The first 01/25/2024 Cairo: Esraa Khalifa Next Saturday, Baghdad will host a two-day oil and gas conference in the Arab world.

I especially like MM's comment with what Carrello posted today......

The entire government of Iraq are Iranian puppets...... including the PM

JP Morgan came out today and said they were backing Trump. Not getting political, just a fact that gets my goggles going..

I think you otta listen to screwball you dipsticks Sorry I'm done........That may get Yota back 😅

Funny that Frank is addressing this question. I was just wondering earlier today if this current closet president was holding up the RV. As I've believed He did during His prior 8 year term. I hope Frank is right

Maybe the two of them can get together long enough to RV and get to the bank.

Banks in race to boost charter capital January 12, 2024 - 10:06 It is anticipated that there will be significant changes in the scale of the banking sector's charter capital this year. An employee performs a transaction at NCB's office. — VNA/VNS Photo HÀ NỘI — It is anticipated that there will be significant changes in the scale of the banking sector's charter capital this year as several joint-stock commercial banks have announced their plans to raise capital. In a recently issued official dispatch, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has granted approval to a number of banks to increase their charter capital through various methods, such as issuing shares for dividend distribution, conducting private placements and issuing shares to foreign strategic investors. The banks include Liên Việt Post Joint Stock Commercial Bank (LPBank), National Citizen Commercial Joint Stock Bank (NCB) and SaigonBank. NCB on January 2 said that the SBV allowed it to increase its charter capital to over VNĐ11.8 trillion (US$484.5 million). The lender will issue 620 million shares at VNĐ10,000 per share, bringing its charter capital from VNĐ5.6 trillion to VNĐ11.8 trillion. The increase is to supplement capital for business activities and strengthen the bank's financial capacity. The plan will be implemented after being approved by the State Securities Commission (SSC), expected in the second quarter of 2024. The transfer of these shares is restricted within one year from the date of completing the offering. Similarly, LPBank was approved to increase its charter capital from nearly VNĐ20.6 trillion to VNĐ25.6 trillion. Previously, the bank had already been granted permission to raise its charter capital by a maximum of nearly VNĐ11.4 trillion, as approved at the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Accordingly, it released over 328.5 million shares for dividend distribution at a rate of 19 per cent and also issued additional shares to existing shareholders with a total value of VNĐ5 trillion. With the increased charter capital, LPBank continues to rank among the top private joint-stock commercial banks with the largest charter capital in the banking system. In late December 2023, SaigonBank also obtained approval to raise its charter capital by up to VNĐ308 billion through a share issuance aimed at paying dividends to existing shareholders. The bank's representative said that the increase in charter capital is essential for SaigonBank to enhance its financial strength and embrace technological advancements in line with industry trends. On January 12, BacABank will finalise the list of shareholders receiving 2022's share dividends. In particular, BacABank plans to issue more than 62.5 million shares to pay dividends at a rate of 7.5 per cent, meaning a shareholder owning 1,000 shares will receive 75 new shares. The number of fractional shares (if any) will be distributed to the bank union. Charter capital plays a crucial role in measuring the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and determining the credit ratings of financial institutions. The CAR ratio is computed in accordance with Circular No. 41, which adopts internationally recognised Basel II standards and sets a minimum requirement of 8 per cent. However, experts noted that despite the continuous plans of banks to increase their capital, especially in the fourth quarter of 2023, with numerous banks actively completing the necessary procedures to distribute shares to increase charter capital and provide additional resources, the Vietnamese banking system still faces capital constraints, with a significantly lower Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) compared to many other countries in the region. In particular, several countries in the region have already implemented or partially adopted Basel III. According to the latest data released by the SBV, as of May 2023, the total charter capital of the entire credit institution system reached more than VNĐ888.8 trillion, up 1.35 per cent from the end of 2022. — VNS Banks in race to boost charter capital (vietnamnews.vn)

They don't decide. But we have the same President that pulled out the first time. JMO

I agree with what your saying. My question is....What was Shabibi's definition of being secure enough? And the definition of economic security. Of coarse we're talking IRAQ , and compared to what? The way they were? The way they want or perceive to be?

The 12 to 1 agenda, or game plan, in the full drawn out article, is actually common sense and basic math. Simple.....Tap into one of the 3 years of the budget and divide by 12, gives you a monthly amount to tap into. Mr. Pimple

Someone have a take on this backwards wording? TIA

Pimpy must be dense or plain doesn't do His homework. He still doesn't realize the "12 to1" was in reference to the budget, not the exchange rate.

They don't have their big boy pants on? They're involved in corruption and/or terrorism as well? They're about to RV? The Kurds/peshmerga don't want to be abandoned and left with Baghdad?
