I'm going to ask the dumbest question of all:  is $500 a lot to the average Iraqi citizen and is this like a stimulus check for us?

Average Monthly Salary in Iraq: 3,253,000 IQD (http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=103&loctype=1)

 

That is a little under $250 a month on average.  If this is to go to the each Iraqi family each month, then that salary is tripled:  250+500=750 per month.  If it is only one time a year, then it would be two months salary bonus each year. 

If my income was tripled each month, I would be "pleased as punch."

Have they stated this is per month?  I didn't see that anywhere.

[calkid11]

Thank you

[mrparrot]

I'm just going to toss this out there and

see what everyone thinks...

 

It sounds to me like, and this is a very

simplistic interpretation, that he's talking

about the HCL being $500.00 a month.

 

The only thing that I can't seem to figure

out is that I thought the HCL was on a

per person level and not per family.

 

Maybe this is his temporary solution for

the lack of an HCL at the moment.

 

A stopgap measure, if you will, until the HCL

is finally agreed upon and started.

interesting idea Mr Parrot...thought provoking at least

[gakman]

I hope this Gent. does not get bumped off!

[Goldiegirl]

I thought the HCL had to do with the Kurds receiving their portion of the oil sales? The Kurds have fought the HCL proposed by Maliki for years. What makes this guy decide what the HCL is going to be?

 

I'm not sure this is part of the HCL.

500 x 3.71= nice.

The hcl was rejected by the Iraqi citizens and drove the ministers of parliment to vote against it so it was dropped

The people want a centralized oil law controlled by the central govt

It would be political suicide to vote for the hcl law

One stumbling block was the unpopularity of the law, as it is perceived by the Iraqi people. An opinion poll conducted in 2007 by Oil Change International and other groups shows 63% of Iraqis surveyed would "prefer Iraq's oil to be developed and produced by Iraqi state-owned companies [than] by foreign companies". This explains why the law had stalled in the Iraqi parliament.[15

The cost of living then must be through the roof at this amount. The CBI rates would make this amount be around $2,800 per month wouldn't it? That's about $33,600 a year. I must be missing something here, right???

You make no sense. HCL was a part of what the Kurds were fighting for with Mailki.  Nothing is dropped. Have you lost your marbles?

Found your marbles!!!

You mean you found his one and only marble snowglobe...

I think it's great that Abadi is gonna do something for the people. I believe we are about to see a new day in Iraq. HCL is the oil and gas law but there may be other aspects pertaining to payments for citizens. HCL is needed in order for cohesiveness in Iraq, it will bring all sects together. It will be passed or we will be sitting here for a long time to come.

mmm  500  per, family  per-  the 2014  budget <----- if  they  pull this off with in the next  month , then I say  this new guy  will be  the most popular prime minister they have had  in over 50 years !   and with that ,  the  new year of  1 2015  should have astounding  prospects  for  the   Iraqi  people  and  economy  ,  and  I do   hope  for  the     new  values  in dinar land futures

I think you are soooo right. If the new guy  can get this done in the next 30 days....the people will love him and it will be a new start for Iraq and its people

I agree jeep with u 100%. Very well said.

The tension increased recently between the governments of Baghdad and Erbil after the KRG rejected a draft Oil and Gas Law approved by the federal government in August. The Region believed the draft gave too much power to Baghdad in terms of managing oil contracts and income, and would be at the expense of the Region.

Kurds don't want a hcl

If they get one they won't like it as usual

Kurds want their own country

They don't want to live in Iraq

They will stall like they have been for years

Have they stated this is per month?  I didn't see that anywhere.

I don't know if it is per month or just on a yearly bonus.  Oil revenues are calculated on a monthly basis, but that is a LOT of money going out each month.  

 

 

The cost of living then must be through the roof at this amount. The CBI rates would make this amount be around $2,800 per month wouldn't it? That's about $33,600 a year. I must be missing something here, right???

The rate now for the dinar is running stable at about 1200d to $1, so it would still be calculated at only $250 per month.  No one knows the CBI RV rate at the present.

This crap had been going on for ten years

The Sunnis don't want a hcl either

No one does

The us govt been pushing it for years and they just ignore them

The oil and gas law is

The oil is nationalized

And the citizens want Iraqis to drill their own oil

The latest drama focuses on the tensions between the federal government in Baghdad and the semi-autonomous state of Iraqi Kurdistan. In mid-October American oil giant ExxonMobil signed a deal with the government of the semi-autonomous region of Iraqi Kurdistan, which is using a form of oil and gas law that they formulated themsleves and which has not been approved by Iraq’s federal authorities, who are still using an older version.

If the GOI allows the Kurds to manage their own oil production and keep the majority of the revenues, they will be satisfied.  What was concerning them most was the fact that ALL the revenue when to Baghdad and Baghdad would pay to the Kurds only what Baghdad determined. The Kurds don't mind paying Baghdad their fare share, but they don't want to give up total control.  

Can't say that I blame them.  Baghdad under Maliki did not want the Kurds to receive much of anything.  Greed on the part of Maliki was a big concern.  

Plus, the Kurds wanted to decided which oil companies could drill and produce in their region; much like our states rights. Baghdad wanted to make that choice.  

Therefore the Kurds rejected the HCL as it stood then.  Maybe now the wording has changed and they are satisfied.  Of course we don't have that information, so this is JMO.

If it's not the Kurds stalling its the Sunnis

AKnews reports that the debate on draft hydrocarbon legislation has been postponed by the Oil and Gas Committee of the Iraqi Council of Representatives because of the continued absence of Iraqiya List members.

This crap has been going on for years since 2003

I can sit here till next Sunday googling the stalling of the Kurds

In a recent statement, the Kurds promised to “boycott parliament and government” if the oil and gas law presented to parliament by the government is indeed passed by parliament.

Hundreds of articles on the Kurds and Sunnis boycotting and stalling

They didn't win the pm seat but they wanted to run parliment

That's an issue for the courts to settle

Not for the Kurds to just go lawless and do as they please
