DinarThug Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 LINK Analyst: The current government continues with the support of Washington 19:08 - 17/03/2021 Political analyst, Adel Mane confirmed, on Wednesday, that "the government's statement regarding the violation of sovereignty by the Americans and Turks is weak and shameful and bears several aspects, but it does not rise to the level of the Iraqi state and the security establishment." He added, "All government statements issued regarding violations against the security forces, the Popular Mobilization Forces and the factions affiliated with the crowd are unclear and may have been issued under pressure." He noted that "the current government continues to sign the American agenda, and its presence may have American support, and without it it would not have continued at all." He pointed out that "its steadfastness throughout these months, despite popular and political rejectionist pressure, can only take one position, which is Washington's support for it." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinarThug Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Political agreement to pass the Federal Court law today and the budget tomorrow 18th March, 2021 The representative of the Al-Fateh bloc, Mithaq Al-Hamidi, announced, on Thursday, a political agreement to pass the Federal Court law today, likely to pass the budget law tomorrow, Friday. Al-Hamdi said to Shafaq News, "The Presidency of Parliament has agreed with the heads of political blocs that today's session will be devoted to the final vote on the Federal Court law," explaining that "the session will take place after an hour." And she continued, "If there is enough time, the budget law will be included for voting, and if there is no session on Friday to vote on the budget law." A parliamentary source revealed, today, Thursday, that Parliament Speaker Muhammad al-Halbousi held a meeting with the Shiite blocs to bring closer views of the Federal Court law. The source told Shafaq News Agency that Al-Halbousi and his first deputy, Hassan Al-Kaabi, met with the heads of the Shiite blocs at the headquarters of the Badr Bloc and in the presence of the head of the block and its members and the Deputy Secretary-General of Badr Abdul Karim Al-Ansari Organization, to discuss the controversial points about the Federal Court law. During the last period, Parliament voted to pass 21 articles of the Federal Court bill, and disputes revolve around three pending articles. The differences focus on granting seats to Islamic law jurists from the Shiite and Sunni sects, seats in the Federal Court, and giving them the power to vote on decisions. Disputes also revolve around the voting mechanism in the Federal Court as to whether unanimity is required to pass decisions or simple majority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinarThug Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 LINK Will Parliament make an amendment to the price of the dollar? ... Parliamentary finance answers 18th March, 2021 The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, on Thursday, that there is no change to the exchange rate of the dollar in the federal budget for the fiscal year 2021. A member of the committee, Jamal Cougar, according to the official agency, said, "There is a meeting of the committee with the Presidency and heads of parliamentary blocs. We know about the main issue of the meeting, is it to pass the budget or talk about controversial articles, "indicating that" if there was a serious intention to pass the budget, it would have been included on the agenda first and then the Federal Court." Cougar added, "There are parties that want to pass the Federal Court Law and then the Budget Law," adding: "There is no amendment to the dollar exchange rate in the budget, and the change is not within the powers of the committee or parliament." He explained, "Changing the dollar exchange rate means changing the budget completely, changing resources, expenditures and deficits will be large, and those affected by the amendment will demand compensation and confuse the market, and people will lose confidence in the central bank and this is very difficult." 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinarThug Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Territory share, exchange rate and salary deductions .. The latest developments on the budget 4,520 Economie 2021/03/17 17:27 Baghdad today - Baghdad The Iraqi federal budget for 2021 entered the fourth month of its discussion in the House of Representatives without a comprehensive agreement ensuring its passage in the coming days, as issues of the region’s share and the dollar exchange rate emerge as the most important obstacles to approving the budget, in addition to passing the Federal Supreme Court’s law that It is scheduled to vote on it in next Thursday’s session, which stipulated that it be passed before returning to negotiations with the Kurdish side. The latest developments on the budget, a member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Cougar, said in a televised interview that she followed (Baghdad Al-Youm), "The Finance Committee has ended since February 15th of the budget paragraphs with the exception of the Kurdistan region’s share and because of the objection by the Shiite blocs." He added, "The committee canceled all deductions for employees' salaries in the 2021 budget, and raised the price of a barrel of oil from 42 to 45 dollars." The negotiating delegation of the region As for the reporter of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Ahmed Al-Saffar, he said in a televised statement, "The delegation of the Kurdistan region, headed by Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani, who arrived in Baghdad last night (March 16, 2021), adheres to the government text on the share of the Kurdistan region contained in The draft Iraqi federal budget law for 2021, and rejects the Shiite blocs proposal that the Kurdistan region hand over 460 thousand barrels of oil daily to Baghdad. The aforementioned text stipulates that the Kurdistan region will deliver 250 thousand barrels of oil per day, at the price of the SOMO company, in addition to half of the revenues of the border crossings, and other federal revenues of the Kurdistan region to the Iraqi government, and the financial dues between the federal government and the Kurdistan region are liquidated for the period from 2004 to 2020, so that the government Iraqi federalism to spend the share of the Kurdistan region from the budget. Exchange rate Al- Saffar reiterated that "the exchange rate of the dollar cannot be changed by a representative amendment because it is within the government's authority, in agreement with the Central Bank, and has nothing to do with the draft budget. It is expected that the price will remain for a year or two." Jamal Cougar's speech was also identical to Al-Saffar, as he indicated that "regarding the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, it has remained as determined by the government and there is no amendment to it." According to the Central Bank of Iraq, the exchange rate passes through stages, the first of which is buying the dollar from the Ministry of Finance for 1,450 dinars, then selling it by the "Central Bank" to banks for 1,460 dinars, and then to the public at 1,470 dinars per dollar, but some political blocs demand a return of the exchange rate. To 1300 dinars to one dollar as a condition for voting on the budget in the House of Representatives, which is rejected by the government. At the end of last December, the Iraqi government sent to Parliament the draft of the general budget, which amounted to about 164 trillion dinars (approximately 113 billion dollars), with a large deficit of about 70 trillion Iraqi dinars (48 billion dollars).
