On and on it goes! Free money for the corrupt...

[Adviser to the Prime Minister: The decline of the dollar is an indicator of the strength of the dinar and a tangible success of the economic policy]

Everyone thinks this guy is some Iraqi god! He's just another huge corrupt scumbag! He's been shoveling crap to the Iraqi people for decades. Just another piece of the corrupt puzzle.

quote somewhere before. 

[Al-Barti comments on Sudanese steps to end the problems between Baghdad and Erbil - urgent]

"the understandings between Baghdad and Erbil "confirm the progress" of the two parties towards approving the oil and gas law."

 

I swear, I swear, i've seen this 

[Official: The issue of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization is coming soon - 3/05/2024]

Here we go again; "soon," "imminent"

[Parliamentary insistence on legislating investment, oil and gas laws]

It all sounds way to familiar, doesn't it? Everytime they get this close, it disappears without a trace.

[Parliamentary Health: Iraq without ambulances after the suspension of the operational budget of the Ministry of Health by the Financ]

That's because we haven't seen a budget passed before

[Al-Sudani: We succeeded in approving a budget for three years, which is a message of stability in the implementation of projects without delay]

They love patting themselves ion the back don't they?

[Iraq's Oil and Gas Law faces more delays and disputes]

I'm so shocked to hear this. This is so not Iraq. They never drag their feet and are so legit!

[American officials: The response to the "Jordan attack" will be in Iraq - 1/29/2024]

So much for stability! Kiss the RV/RI goodbye for at least a year...This is the perfect excuse for more corruption. They will use this as an excuse to stall everything within the government. Just watch, you'll see...All because we have a coward in the white House that will not do it on Iran soil.

[Baghdad hosts the oil and gas conference next week]

Help me understand this; They're hosting an oil and gas conference, but cant get themselves to agree on the oil and gas law for decades? Am i missing something here?

[Instead of Romanski, Biden nominates an extraordinary “new” American ambassador to Iraq - 1/25/2024]

[Parliamentary Finance: Passing the 2024 budget will be easy]

They Are taking it to another level. Once again, the budget is the excuse for the delay 

[Parliamentary Finance: Passing the 2024 budget will be easy]

Delay! Delay! Delay! They are at once again. They have it down to a science. We are in for another long ride. Don't hate just because i'm right. You can hope all you want, but we are witnessing Iraq at its best. They are the best at procrastination and blowing smoke!  

[The Minister of Finance directs employees of the accounting and budget departments and the Central Bank to work on Friday and Saturday]

We need to see the auctions stop. We need to see the three zeros removed and we need to see the HCL approved. I know we've been hearing for years that these items are on the brink of approval and implementation, but everytime they move forward they take two steps back. It's so friggin frustrating isn't it?

[The Minister of Finance directs employees of the accounting and budget departments and the Central Bank to work on Friday and Saturday]

I guess we'll see

[The Minister of Finance directs employees of the accounting and budget departments and the Central Bank to work on Friday and Saturday]

WOW! People, wake up and smell, the coffee! We are not going to see anything on the 1st, or 2nd for that matter. I appreciate the positivity, but really? There are still steps that are needed prior to any RI happening. Please stop with the millionaire "opinions!" I so want to be wrong but to this point I haven't. Sorry...

[Washington is "satisfied" with Iraq's banking performance and pledges the continued flow of dollars]

Nope! I know this will sound negative, but, I'm thinking January 1st will come and go with no change. It will be pushed back due to some "disagreement" or it will be decided that a committee must be formed to look into the shutting down of the dollar. We all know that  the dollar will not be completely gone. We know that the rate will not change on that date. Sadly, Iraq is known as the king of deception. I hope I'm wrong but history is on my side. 

[Iraqi Minister of Finance: Economic recovery is underway amid the return of commercial financing to normal]

When Jan 1st comes and goes with no change, what's the next date to be thrown out there?

Guaranteed! Two months from now, they'll say we need a few more months to form committees to discuss the committees we need to form.
