k98nights Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Parliament postpones first budget reading until Thursday Tuesday, January 11th 2011 4:44 PM Baghdad, Jan. 11 (AKnews) - An MP in Kurdistan Blocs Coalition (KBC) stated on Tuesday that the Iraqi Parliament has again postponed the first reading of the draft budget for 2011 until next Thursday. MP Shuan Mohammed Taha told AKnews that the postponement was mainly due to technical difficulties concerning the printing of the draft. At the end of December, the bill was returned to the government for modifications before being passed to the Iraqi parliament for its first reading this month. Parliament Speaker Osama Nujaifi decided to consider the first reading of the budget in December as void because at that time, the Finance Committee had not been formed. The Kurds also objected to the draft budget because it did not clearly contain provisions for the budgets of the Kurdish forces known as Peshmarga, and the regional government was not satisfied with its allocated provisions. Peshmarga, or the Kurdistan Regional Guards, are recognized in the Iraqi constitution as regular forces. The dispute over the Peshmarga forces is who would pay them, the Iraqi government of the regional government? The Kurds insist that the Peshmarga forces, being regular Iraqi forces, have to be paid by the Iraqi government, Baghdad in turn want them be paid by the Kurdish region from their 17 percent in the Iraqi budget. Another issue is that the Iraqi government has included in the budget a provision binding the KRG to export 150,000 bpd or it would be cut from the 17 percent of the region's budget share accordingly. KBC MPs boycotted a parliament session on Nov. 18 protesting the budget bill that commits the region to the 150,000 bpd export. Baghdad says based on such an agreement it is would pay financial dues of the oil companies operating in Kurdistan. The Iraqi government's binding condition stems from, according to Iraqi officials, a statement last month by the KRG Minister of Natural Resource Ashti Hawarmi who said Kurdistan could export 200,000 bdp.

MarcusC Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 k98nights Thank you for the intel. The link that your resource is of tv or a newspaper in Iraq? Is there a link to other resources out there that you can provide so we can do our own homework? I have been looking for the official iraqi gazette because I have read that what is written in there 3 days after it becomes law. Is that true? Do you know if there is a website for this and what is it? I have always wanted to be in a position to invest like this and I am a guy that loved to do his own research too. Can you provide me with some basic resources so I can get started. Right now I am learning FOREX Trader PRO, but feel the need to have some strong resources of intel so I can understand how to do everything here. I love to have all my ducks in a row and very detail oriented and love to have a great system in place of my own. Hope you can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meatmen4dinar Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Once again, more delays. So much for the pd CC last Thursday. What a joke, an EX-Senator saying the IMF will step in and will be done this weekend! Yeah, right. Seems to me we have all been living in lala land.

Darin Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 The pessimist side of me says.. "Even after the Budget is read 3 times, approved, and put into the gazette, it won't mean that a RV is imminent." Question is, does Iraq have the sources, or capability to force an RV prior to the budget being approved? Once again, more delays. So much for the pd CC last Thursday. What a joke, an EX-Senator saying the IMF will step in and will be done this weekend! Yeah, right. Seems to me we have all been living in lala land. I know, huh? I want that 40 minutes of my life back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terr Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 I asked this already, why does it have to be read THREE times? And if it does have to be read three times, why don't they do it one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
