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 

 

 

4-3-2025   Intel Guru Frank26  We need to wait till after EID to see what these reforms are all about.  My prayer is that they are about a new exchange rate to make that budget work.

 

 

4-4-2025   Clare  Article: "Tariffs from the US Do Not Apply to Iraqi Oil Exports: Foreign Relations Advisor" Quote: "The Prime Minister's Advisor for Foreign Relations, Farhad Ala'aldin, confirmed on Thursday that Iraqi energy exports, including crude oil, are not covered by the tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, while noting that the economic impact on Iraq is very limited."

 

4-4-2025   Frank26  [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Sammy says they are telling everyone on the television that they have seen the [budget] tables and there is no rate in it.  They are a bunch of liars. Of course there's a rate in it.  They are all clowns.  Sudani is hiding this from them. FRANK: Yes he is.

 

4-4-2025   MarkZ  They are doing exactly what they told us they would. They are stabilizing the system so they can raise the value of the dinar.

 

4-4-2025  Mnt Goat  My impression of this news... the ongoing effort for the economic development in Iraq...is that this is Iraq’s time. Why am I only now showing excitement about this effort. This excitement comes because of all the components I see now coming together and I can see the writing on the wall of the end result.

Frankie, Frankie, Frankie...

There is not enough money in the entire 2025 Budget to cover the ER by not even 1%.  IMHO.
