A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Jamal Cougar, confirmed that the 2021 budget file is still thorny because of wills that you do not want to be approved even though Iraq is close to entering its fourth month without a budget.

The Presidency of the Council of Representatives placed the vote on the budget with its 58 articles on the agenda of the parliament session scheduled for tomorrow, Sunday.

In a televised interview, Cougar said, "It is inconceivable that the draft budget for 2021 will be delayed until the fourth month of this year after a full year in which there was no budget for the state and the people have the right to be indignant and unfortunately the political blocs have made the budget a means of turning arms and achieving purely political goals."

He added that "there are two wills, the first wants to approve the budget and the second does not want it to pass for political reasons, and the situation is now between the jaws of pliers and we do not know who will prevail in the end."

He pointed out that "the budget may need more time before approval due to recent complications, including demands to change the exchange rate. The problem currently is not between the federal government and the region. There is a political conflict in Baghdad, and the budget is a fundamental thing in it."

And he warned that "passing the budget without taking into account the opinion of the Kurds means that there is a component that wants to manage the country by the majority, although the constitution is based on balance and consensus and there may be marginalization of the components and this matter will have major political repercussions."

He pointed out that “the Shiite political forces came on March 20 with a proposal to end the Kurdistan quota crisis and it was discussed within the Parliamentary Finance Committee and it was voted upon by agreement of all components, but unfortunately on the second day the proposal was changed by a political party without reference to the Finance Committee and it was attempted to impose it on The committee, which prevented reaching a final agreement, ”he said.

On the economic situation with the delay in approving the budget, Cougar said, "The situation is almost stalled if not paralyzed due to the failure to approve the exchange rate in the new budget. Iraq did not have a budget in 2020 and there are many segments of the people waiting for the budget to be passed and there is anxiety in the street and the market will only stabilize."

16 minutes ago, Laid Back said:

And they continue talking about the exchange rate.!

 

Where there’s smoke there’s fire.

 

Go iraq

Go international 

Go open market economy 

Go RV

Once the National Oil Company is voted on and approved, I imagine that the initial change to the IQD-USD rate will be back to pre-1450. Like 1180 or close. That change has been particularly stressful for average Iraqis. And that gives Iraq the benefit of changing the exchange rate to show their citizens but all they are really doing is taking it back to historical programmed rate.

After that happens, I assume they'll stay there for a bit and then... :confused2:

But if nothing else it will be very interesting.
