Iraqi official: We have agreed with the Kurdistan Regional Government on the export of oil, according to a unified mechanism

Thanks Thugs.

Interesting to note that it will most likely only take the Army a few days to clear Fallujah

of terrorists. I really believe that we have been focused on the wrong issue. The time

they needed could easily have been to decide how to deal with Fallujah. When we

see that resolved, we see everything resolved.

LGD, I guess we will see:)

[MyLadiesDaddy]

Nice point.I still like your Thursday prediction.

Just read an article saying that the issues would be resolved within a week.

Wanna bet the Fallujah issue will be resolved first?

It would be an AWESOME birthday gift.

Iraq 2014 Budget will Collapse without Kurdish Oil Income

 

21/1/2014 10:10:00

 

     IRAQ 2014 BUDGET WILL COLLAPSE WITHOUT KURDISH OIL INCOME

 

Haider al-Abadi, the head of the Iraqi parliament’s treasury committee, told Reuters that unless the northern Kurdistan region pays oil export revenue to the national treasury in Baghdad this year, the projected 2014 budget will collapse.

If the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) once again refuses to pay the oil revenue owed then the only available option left to Baghdad would be to halt all state spending, which amounts to about 17% of the whole country, in the region.

This news was announced during a month that has seen the conflict between Erbil and Baghdad intensify after the KRG began to export oil to Turkey via a new pipeline, Last week, in response, Abdul Kareem Luaibi, the Iraqi oil minister, threatened to seek legal action over against any foreign entity involved in the “smuggling” of Iraqi oil out of Kurdistan.

Abadi explained that state spending was rising sharply due to increases in pensions, public sector wages, child benefits, and student allowances, and that the draft budget for 2014 would have a deficit of about 21 trillion Iraqi dinars ($18 billion). This deficit assumes that the KRG will pay revenue earned from oil exports of 400,000 barrels a day, even though current exports are only at 255,000 barrels a day. If the KRG pays nothing then the deficit will be untenable and collapse.
