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... So, take  everything with a grain of salt ...  RON 

 

 

2-5-2025   Samson  Article: "Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq receives the French Ambassador accompanied by a delegation from the French business sector" Quote: "The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, received the French Ambassador to Iraq, Mr. Patrick Dorrell, and a French delegation, which included a number of French banks and companies in various sectors, in the presence of officials from the Central Bank of Iraq and the Director General of TBI Bank."

 

2-5-2025   MarkZ  Question: What are we expecting once the budget tables are done? MarkZ:  We are expecting and hoping the Iraqi tables to have new rates. Amounts and new rates for currency…I am told parliament is working on them today.

 

2-5-2025   Fnu Lnu  [Response to Clare USAID/Elon Musk 2-4-2025 Article below] Elon Musk is NOT on a mission to downsize the Federal Government. He is working on discovering and elimination fraud and waste...USAID is a grifters delight and has been used, since the Kennedy era, as a way to launder money. They give grants that are fraudulent...In no way will Iraq be affected by the closure of the front agency. After all, haven't we be inundated by statements of "Ending Corruption In Iraq"? This is a puff-piece article of no consequence. It is merely an anti-Trump (TDS) article...Pay no attention as it couldn't possible have any bearing on the important and vital work being done in Iraq.

 

 

2-4-2025   [REPOST] Clare  Article: "Sudden US move threatens development projects in Iraq" Quote: "Billionaire Elon Musk, who is leading US President Donald Trump's efforts to reduce the size of the federal government, announced the progress of these efforts, pointing to the ongoing work to close the US Agency for International Development [USAID], according to Reuters... The decision to close the agency is expected to negatively impact development and stability projects in Iraq, which may lead to a reshaping of bilateral relations between the two countries, especially if this lack of international support is not compensated"
