E. 1999 Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 BAGHDAD / Aswat al-Iraq: Next Tuesday's parliamentary session will see the first and second readings of 21 draft laws, including the second reading of the federal budget of 2012, which has been postponed on multiple occasions due to al-Iraqiya Bloc's boycott of parliament sessions, a parliamentary media source reported today. The sources told Aswat al-Iraq that the government submitted the budget after decreasing it to 115 trillion Iraqi dinars, with reasonable deficit. The previous draft law of the budget of 2012 allocated 131 trillion Iraqi dinars (112 billion dollars) as a federal budget, with an increase of 36 percent from the previous year, with a deficit of 20 billion dollars.

Maserati Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Maybe Tuesday means next year in Iraqi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigmeister Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Zig, do you really think that, or just wishful thinking? Just curious I think they have by this statement posted by Carrello this morning; The Iraqi government has approved the federal budget for 2012, worth U.S. $ 100 billion, an increase of 22 percent from the previous year. But I have to keep in mind Iraq says one thing, does another or doesn't do it at all. The article posted on this thread has some goofy dates, they don't add up, and it is stating the budget to be read a second time, when there was another article stating it had been read twice. Sooooo.....while it is not in the Gazette to say it has been read, voted on and accepted, I am going to gamble it has been.....maybe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrello Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 g I would think "this tuesday" would mean tomorrow, and "next tuesday" would mean the tues after tomorrow. Just my thoughts In English, you would be right. But in Arabic, and we have done this hundreds of times here, next means this Tuesday. You have to remember we are dealing with Google translations also. Now, with that siad, it doesn't mean that the next can't change! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snatcher Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I read the same thing article as GasCan: "The Iraqi government has approved the federal budget for 2012, worth U.S. $ 100 billion, an increase of 22 percent from the previous year. The government has allocated the largest proportion of its budget for the energy sector, accounting for 17.48 percent of the budget group, followed by security and defense by 14.6 percent, and social services 13.28 percent.

sxsess Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 there was another article earlier stating is was approved already. My link Maybe tomorrow they will formally announce the passing of the budget. They have a draft of HCL and now Kuwait is wanting to help to lift Ch7 from Iraq. Adam has said these are the things we need to watch closely for the RV to take place. Things are looking good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
