* Census scheduled for 2024 * Only 40 feet of hard cast remain on the front of the new CBI building The WTO will convene in Baghdad on October 4, 2024, a WTO Iraq acceptance symposium. In c/ Ceorder to be accepted into the WTO Iraq will need an internationally acceptable exchange rate. The USTreasury has spent from June 2023 until currently with a team finalizing new banking systems at the CBI. "Al-Sudani stressed that the government has taken several measures with the Central Bank of Iraq in implementing financial reform, which is considered a key to economic reform in achieving the government’s goal of moving from a unilateral economy towards a productive and multi-economic economy, where, for the first time, a financial database ""was created"" for banking transactions, in a way that achieves confidence***. ""Required in dealings with banks and international banks"". The 3-year budget was approved in June 2023 for 2023-202024-25 with two definite portions: Service and development. There was not adequate funds in the 23' budget to cover just the service/salaries portion of the budget. Funds have not been spent for the 23' portion of the budget. Recently funds have been spent for salaries, retirees, etc from accounts with unpaid balances, funds from stolen monies brought back into Iraq (crooks have been given amnesty if the funds are returned). So what is Iraq waiting on to spend 23' money? The rate. * HCL is about ready to pass, but IMO we don't need it. The HCL needs a rate, the rate doesn't need the HCL. * Sudani went on a PR tour in New York at the recent UN General Assembly meeting. MOUs, contracts, etc have been signed in the past few months in Baghdad with countries, companies, wanting to do business in Iraq. * IMO we are there! Too early from my brain (3:30 am here) to include more progress that has been achieved in Iraq, but they have turned around and are ready to run. Maliki is even praising and supporting this government.
