Luigi1 Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 Luigi says... This just one more Guru's opinion. Could Abadi have a pre-election surprise for the Iraqi people? Could this sway the elections in Abadi's favor? Your opine. 27 Jan 2018 BGG Article: "Abadi: They are on the process of rising the Iraqi economy and create jobs" FYI – Abadi has been the best thing that’s happened to Iraq in the last 2 decades. Is he perfect? No. Are they on track? More than you know. So relax. Quote: "Abadi: “…we are in the process of raising the Iraqi economy and create(ing) jobs…” What exactly is this process he is speaking of? Does it include monetary and currency reform? I don’t see how it cannot – especially with the clear re-engagement of Iraq with the world markets. With any luck Abadi will get a lot of credit for their peace and prosperity – Maliki and Barzani will get shut out on May 12th. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtFuryUSCZ Posted January 28, 2018 Report Share Posted January 28, 2018 ***/// MAGA ! Abadi can make-lika-Trump.... MIGA ! That's right - pull that switch n' Make Iraq Great Again ! Give every Iraqi the equivalent of $1000. in a bank account which would inspire them to put their Dinar in the banks. . 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi1 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 here's another article related to the above.... Could this be timed to upcoming Iraqi elections? 29 Jan 2018 Kaperoni.... Article: “Washington and Baghdad have a common political and SBI establishes economic interests“ Quote: “The meeting also emphasized the importance of the US-Iraqi economic relations and attracting foreign investment to Iraq and create new jobs.” Here is a great example of Iraq asking for something that they are not ready for. They need to get the banking system engaged with the world and get investors participating in the reconstruction. Then and only then will these agreements succeed. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 here's another article related to the above... It looks like Abadi is looking even better going into Iraq elections in May. 1-29-2018 Newshound Guru mike Article: "The House of Representatives ends the first reading of the federal budget" Quote: "The Board completed the first reading of the draft law on the federal budget for the year 2018 for approval, after which decided to resume the session on Wednesday." Good stuff, on to the second reading. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 here's another article related to the above... Could Abadi be setting himself up for another election wn? The timing of all this good news makes us wonder. 1-30-2018 BGG... Article: “Associated Press: Donor countries will ask Iraq guarantees not to go to corrupt money” This is EXACTLY the case I have been laying out. Abadi is on a roll – but he needs to keep rolling!! [reference Guru mike post 1-28-2018] 1-30-2018 Mike... Article quote: "...confirmed that Iraq imports 99 percent of its needs, indicating it is estimated at 50 billion dollars." Iraq is relying on the Balassa-Samuelson effect in order to slowly raise the value of the dinar that exports create. There won't be any demand for the dinar if they don't stop importing everything they consume and start creating their own goods. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi1 Posted January 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2018 here's another article related to the above... Abadi may be positioning himself in upcoming elections. 30 Jan 2018 Frank26... Manu68: Hi Frank, could Abadi wait until after the Kuwait conference mid Feb to get more interest from those attending before they pull the trigger. I ask this in light of the recent article Samson just put out on Abadi returning to Iraq disappointed by lack of interest from Davos in Iraq. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitcher Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 BAGHDAD — The Independent High Electoral Commission of Iraq has warned of the possibility of delaying the elections due to lack of funds. Riyadh Badran, an official at the electoral commission, said on Tuesday that they might not be able to finalise the preparations for the upcoming polls if the government delays providing the required funds. He said that the commission will face drastic issues if the fund is not provided within one week. Iraq is holding its parliamentary elections on 12th May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
