But as soon as someone post a negative post stating that they feel it's not going to RV you think Adam should change their name. Maybe you should accept the fact that not everyone thinks like you do and get over it. This form of thinking of which you mentioned has been aptly named Demonwoke-itis after the demoncrats woke-itis syndrome. Or as Mel Brooks said "It's good to be the king" as so many demoncrats think they are kingmakers but in reality more like poverty makers. 5 1 5 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is.... no one wants to deal with a currency that has no value. I don't believe if IQD is already international recognized currency, noone wants to deal with IQD. Can IQD be accepted in the middle east countries, like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia? If IQD is already international recognized currency, IQD at least will be accepted in the middle east countries as a form of payment to buy something in the middle countries. Is Kuwaiti dinar accepted in the middle east countries? I think so. For example, USD is international recognized currency and everyone around the world wants to deal with USD.

yota691 Posted January 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 Planning excludes the inclusion of new projects in the 2022 budget 2022-01-03 03:31 Shafaq News/ The Ministry of Planning ruled out, on Monday, the inclusion of new projects in the current 2022 budget, indicating that there are 6,000 projects under implementation. Ministry spokesman Abdul-Zahra Al-Hindawi said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, "Inclusion of new projects in the 2022 budget will not be easy in light of the presence of a large number of ongoing projects, as it is not logical to have projects with completion rates and go to the inclusion of new projects." Noting that "the focus will be on the continuation of the implementation of the existing projects that are under implementation and ensuring their implementation." He added, "The recovery of oil prices and the presence of good revenues will cover the deficit, and as a result, it will reflect positively on the investment side in ensuring the implementation of government investment projects, whether they are implemented by ministries or by local governments in the provinces." Al-Hindawi pointed out that "there are a large number of projects under implementation, of which there are no less than 6,000 projects," noting that "these projects include many sectors of development, whether related to services, infrastructure and strategic projects, as well as some of them within an investment program for ministries and others within Regional Development Program for the Governorates. He stressed that "these projects are important and represent an important value for development and the economy, as they contribute to moving the wheel of development by providing job opportunities and by providing services to citizens." The Ministry of Planning had suspended the implementation of projects within the 2020 budget after the drop in oil prices, so prices would rise again in 2021. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See below for more. 13 hours ago, Bama Girl said: I believe this but would love to find published info to back up my belief. If you or anyone can point me to one, I would appreciate it. The WTO states Quote Who can apply “Any state or customs territory having full autonomy in the conduct of its trade policies is eligible to accede to the WTO on terms agreed between it and WTO Members”. (Article XII of the WTO Agreement). Article XII of the WTO Agreement 1. Any State or separate customs territory possessing full autonomy in the conduct of its external commercial relations and of the other matters provided for in this Agreement and the Multilateral Trade Agreements may accede to this Agreement, on terms to be agreed between it and the WTO. The major issue is that 1) Iraq does NOT have "full autonomy in the conduct of its trade policies" at this time as they are still under sanctions (i.e. program rate). Trade would include the method of payment for the goods bought. Since Iraq does not have full autonomy over the rate of its currency, per Article XII, Iraq does not have full autonomy in the conduct of its trade policies. On the other hand, Iraq and its government are the ones who are making, legislating, its own trade policies, one could possibly argue that constitutes conduct and Iraq has full autonomy over that and should be accepted into the WTO. However, trade between countries includes currencies and since Iraq does not have full autonomy over its currency, whether international or not, it does not meet the requirements of Article XII of the WTO Agreement.

yota691 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 Cougar: The 2022 budget has no connection with the constitutional timings Tuesday 04 January 2022 150 Baghdad: Shaima Rashid The previous Parliamentary Finance Committee denied the statements that talked about the expectation that the current year 2022 will be devoid of the budget due to the delay in Parliament and the absence of a government, and is likely to be approved in the month of next June. The former member of the Finance Committee and the winning deputy for this session, Jamal Kougar, said in an interview with “Al-Sabah”: “The lack of a budget for this year is incorrect, and the issue is far from the constitutional timing, because without a budget it means that the new government will be a (caretaker) government. It will not implement its government program, and if it does not implement it, it means that a quarter of its life has gone without implementing its government program,” he said, expecting that “the 2022 budget will be approved in next June.” He added that "this year's budget will not contain anything new and will not differ from the previous one and will be similar to others, because the new government will not have room for creativity and the old government is the one who set the budget." Regarding the Cabinet’s decision to create job grades, Cougar stated that “the funds for these grades are supposed to be included in the 2022 budget, but if the installation is according to (deletion and creation), it is possible, but any new installation is not possible.” He explained that "according to the statements of the Minister of Finance that Iraq will lay off its employees after ten years, this means that the numbers are large, and according to international standards, the number of employees in Iraq is eight times the rest of the countries." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yota691 Posted January 4, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 New reassurance about employee salaries and an expectation about the dollar exchange rate Time: 01/03/2022 23:44:20 Reading: 3,939 times {Economic: Al Furat News} A financial official reassured, on Monday, about compromising the salaries of employees in terms of reducing or imposing taxes. And the former director of the Office of Financial Supervision, Salah Nuri, told Al-Furat News that: "Until this moment, and by reviewing the draft 2022 budget and the economic situation, there will be no prejudice to the salaries of employees in terms of reducing, reducing or imposing taxes." Nouri promised "the issue of salaries is one of the constants," noting that "the dollar's exchange rate will not change and it will remain as it is." Al-Nouri had announced via {Euphrates News} that the 1/12 system of the 2021 budget for the disbursement of funds will enter into force in the country last Saturday. He stressed, that the salaries will be paid continuously and without delay, and the service projects that Iraq needs on a daily basis, such as the ruling expenses, and 1/12 of the allocated amounts. And the exchange rates of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar recorded, on Monday, on the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya Central Stock Exchange in Baghdad, 147,900 Iraqi dinars, compared to 100 US dollars.
