Good Afternoon DV, here's a few opinions & comments that might be of interest to you. Remember, no one really knows what will happen, or  when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what  they perceive to be happening in Iraq. RON

 

 

*** Jeff *** Article: "Parliament Finance: Parliament is ready to read and approve the 2021 budget in intensive sessions"  the salaries and the 2021 budget are flat out waiting on the rate change period.
 

*** Mnt Goat *** Article: "MINISTER OF TRADE: JOINING THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION IS THE WAY TO BUILD A RESILIENT IRAQI ECONOMY"  ...the WTO was coming back to Iraq for another round of talks in November. They had these talks and this is a news article about the results. It appears there are still issues concerning the accession that need to be addressed. But will these issues prevent or prolong the “full” accession? They do not tell us in the article and we have to wait and see what happens in the coming months. What do I think?  I think there is so much lining up for a January 2021 reinstatement and a delete the zeros project implementation sometime in December 2020. But this is my opinion from all the news we are seeing in articles and hearing from the CBI.

*** Jeff *** Article: "Al-Kaabi:  The President of the Republic does not have the power to veto laws and return them to the Parliament"  ...this article is telling you that once parliament approves a law, whether the president signs it or not, it's automatically ratified in 15 days after its date of delivery to the president of the republic...they approved it [Borrowing Law] last Thursday...
