tigergorzow Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 SocalDinar Thanks, I do believe Basra Province was requesting $5 from GOI so let's hope all was approved and noted as line item in the 2016 budget. Also, The Kurds are definitely happy about their 17% share of the budget thanks to PM Abadi & Parliament. I do believe they also were in agreement fully with HCA / HCL and this is why it passed with majority vote today. Remember the Senior Delegation from KRG a few days ago met with PM Abadi, POR, Parliament, etc. Let's all agree and move forward as one unified Iraq. Keeping the faith!! GO RV!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennesseeCherokee Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I am proud for the people in Basra. They are going to need every dollar they get to rebuild what the damned terrorists have destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TQueezy Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think they're saying that $5 from the sale of every single barrel of oil originating from that province specifically will go towards building up their local economy in the province, Eg: let's say Basra sells 50,000 barrels per day at an average price of $45 per barrel, then $5 per barrel goes towards provincial development for a total of $2.25 million per day and $250,000 per day going towards the province directly. Thats how I read this article. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigergorzow Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) TQueezy, Totally agree with your assessment. Basra Governor & Reps met with PM Abadi and requested $5 per barrel and the GOI & Parliament approved & voted it in the 2016 Budget.
