new york kevin Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I don't understand what Arif Basri is thinking, or Abadi for that matter . Raise the price of flour and also provide them with a lower quality flour to make the basic staple of bread? Also starting to implement the tariffs on imported goods in order to support Iraqi farmers and flour makers. How do you spell inflation or hyper inflation in Iraqi? Hasn't Abadi and the GOI already experienced enough citizenry unrest ? I hope for Abadi's sake that this is Iraqi grain and Iraqi flour that is being made and sold in Iraq ? Plus, that the GOI is manipulating this issue in order to support Iraqi businesses, as he has been saying he would do all along. Raise the quality of the flour via standards and grades goi! Increasing the cost of basic food staples, applying tariffs on imported goods "in order to support Iraqi businesses", having to implement taxes to bridge the budget gaps; I really hope that if he does not want his troops, and the people in general, to revolt on him he had better get back on wise decision making ASAP . I really hope that Abadi's plan is to RV the IQD really, really, really soon, in order to offset these challenges! JMHO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
