ronscarpa Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Official: The issue of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization is coming soon EconomyIraqWTOPursuitJoin 2024-03-05 // 00:37 Shafaq News / Undersecretary of the Minister of Commerce, Sattar Al-Jabri, considered on Tuesday that the issue of Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization was imminent, while he stressed that the current federal government would achieve self-sufficiency and not depend on the importer. This came during his hosting of a discussion session on the sidelines of the seventh session of the activities of the third day of the Al-Rafidain Forum 2024 - Baghdad, under the title “Humanizing the Global Economy.” Al-Jabri said during the hosting that the governmental curriculum developed by the Iraqi government is based on a strategy to keep pace with the development taking place in the global economy, as the government signed bilateral international memorandums of understanding in the field of trade and economics. He stressed that "Iraq is seeking to enter the World Trade Organization, and the issue is coming soon." The Iraqi government official spoke about the issue of import and export, saying: There is no trade balance between exported and imported materials, as the monetary mass was going to other countries, and this is what the current government seeks to address by relying on self-sufficiency. At the beginning of 2024, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia announced its support for Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization, especially after the political obstacles that prevented it were removed. https://www.shafaq.com/ar/اقتصـاد/مس-ول-موضوع-انضمام-العراق-الى-منظمة-التجارة-العالمية-بات-قريبا 2 2 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're very quiet right now & I don't feel like it's a bad thing. If they were denied accession it would have come out by now. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on now: whaddya mean injecting logic, reason & common sense into this. Step back mister, you'd better have a long talk with yourself and come to your "senses". There's a fine line between sanity & madness and your on that cliff edge. 20 years riding this rodeo leads to psychological whiplash & possibly brain damage. Initial signs are random blackouts and uncontrollable fits of hysterical laughter or flatulence.

Iraq won't artificially suppress their currency value because they're not trying to compete with other countries that suppress theirs (China).. A level playing field is coming where that manipulation will prevent then from trading 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
