Popular Post MrRich Posted June 14, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 2:14 AM [scooter] I've been buried in these recently posted budget 2:14 AM [scooter] numbers that they have held back for the past 7 months 2:14 AM [scooter] the translation process is somewhat time consuming 2:14 AM [scooter] I had forgotten how tedious process this was 2:14 AM [scooter] nevertheless 2:15 AM [scooter] the tables of increases on departments, ministries, etc... 2:15 AM [scooter] range all over -- from 1.16 at the lowest point to 5.88 on the high 2:15 AM [scooter] the overall budget number is coming in at 1.27 fo the table of increases 2:15 AM [scooter] now comes the hard part 2:16 AM [scooter] taking all the drainage funds from 2006 - 2010 2:16 AM [scooter] and adding that into the equation -- plus adding the DFI and treasury numbers that were just transferred 2:16 AM [scooter] and we still don't have any solid information on those frozen assetts 2:16 AM [scooter] but it's coming together 2:17 AM [scooter] What's interesting is the salaries section 2:17 AM [scooter] the higher level managment is getting reductions 2:17 AM [scooter] but the mid level to lower, entry level personell 2:18 AM [scooter] are all rating out at 3.52 --- that was very surprising 2:18 AM [scooter] caught me off guard 2:18 AM [scooter] they did some things different in this years budget as well 2:18 AM [scooter] They put the majority of the increases on the investment portion 2:18 AM [scooter] whereas last years budget 2:19 AM [scooter] the increases using the Bahraini Dinar rate was applied to the operational expenses 2:19 AM [scooter] so 2:19 AM [scooter] 2009 --- overall budget came in at 1.14 2:19 AM [scooter] 2010 came in at 2.05 2:20 AM [scooter] this year came back down to the 1.2780 mark 2:20 AM [scooter] now 2:20 AM [scooter] we have the $165 Billion that have been saved in US Treasuries 2:21 AM [scooter] if they apply all that plus the drainage funds excesses to the reserves 2:21 AM [scooter] the equation starts to get interesting 2:21 AM [scooter] in a good way -- not a bad way 2:21 AM [scooter] Am I bantering by myself 2:22 AM [scooter] just curious 2:22 AM [Scooby Doo] Scooter is there anything in their constitution that would prevent them from running a deficit with their budget? 2:22 AM [scooter] needed a break 2:22 AM [scooter] 2:22 AM [wdaubie] Scooter 2:22 AM [scooter] that's the thing -- are they or have they really been running a deficit? 2:22 AM [scooter] if they used the real values -- they would not be in deficit mode 2:22 AM [scooter] with that said 2:23 AM [wdaubie] Scooter Giving you full courtesy! 2:23 AM [scooter] 2008 killed their budget -- largely because the oil prices tanked so badly 2:23 AM [scooter] wdaubie 2:23 AM [scooter] Thank you 2:23 AM [scooter] 2:24 AM [scooter] Anyways -- the timing of this information being published is interesting as well 2:25 AM [scooter] just speculating -- but if they RV'd before the bank re-boot -- that would be a huge benefit to the country 2:25 AM [scooter] I think 2:25 AM [scooter] still working that one through my mind 2:25 AM [Scooby Doo] when is the reboot? 2:25 AM [scooter] I did learn something new about June 30th 2:26 AM [scooter] reboot is benchmarked to be completed before June 30th 2:26 AM [Scooby Doo] ok 2:26 AM [scooter] so -- it may have already occurred 2:26 AM [scooter] just not announced 2:27 AM [Scooby Doo] do you know what Iraq's fiscal year is? 2:27 AM [scooter] did you know that june 30th since 1920 I think has a significant meaning to the iraqi's 2:27 AM [scooter] states January - December 2:27 AM [Scooby Doo] ok 2:27 AM [Scooby Doo] so the same as the calendar year 2:27 AM [scooter] which is interesting because most governments use July 1 to June 30 2:27 AM [scooter] yea 2:28 AM [scooter] At least they do here in US 2:28 AM [scooter] most cities and counties are July 1 2:28 AM [Scooby Doo] somebody earlier said they contacted the CBI and were told July-June 2:29 AM [scooter] hmmmm 2:29 AM [Scooby Doo] I think he said CBI 2:29 AM [scooter] I'll google it -- perhaps they changed 2:29 AM [eatmoney] no imf hesaid 2:29 AM [eatmoney] not cbi 2:29 AM [Scooby Doo] okay .... thanks 2:29 AM [Scooby Doo] yeah, IMF 2:29 AM [eatmoney] no problem 2:29 AM [scooter] ohhhh 2:29 AM [scooter] ok -- that makes sense 2:29 AM [eatmoney] said the imf is very helpful with questions 2:30 AM [Scooby Doo] But the budget follows the fiscal year for the GOI, right? 2:30 AM [scooter] that's actually a cool thing to know 2:30 AM [scooter] I have never called the IMF 2:30 AM [scooter] yes 2:30 AM [scooter] to the GOI 2:31 AM [Scooby Doo] okay, so tell us about June 30 and Iraq 2:31 AM [scooter] oh yea -- 2:31 AM [scooter] well it seems way back during the British rule of Iraq 2:31 AM [scooter] that June 30th is their Independence day 2:32 AM [scooter] I thought that was somewhat interesting considering what's occurring right now 2:32 AM [scooter] just a bit of trivia 2:32 AM [scooter] OK - I thought it was kind of cool 2:32 AM [scooter] 2:32 AM [scooter] 2:32 AM [scooter] 2:33 AM [scooter] I think the activity that's occuring right now this week and the next couple of days are huge 2:34 AM [scooter] parliament should have approved the demarcation lines with kuwait yesterday or today 2:34 AM [scooter] On the 15th all the DFI accounts should be under the protection of the US Treasury 2:34 AM [scooter] on the 16th 2:34 AM [scooter] the UNSC is delivered their final report on Iraq 2:35 AM [scooter] the 17th -- new FOREX and leverage rules are being applied world wide 2:35 AM [scooter] wait 2:35 AM [scooter] that could be the following week 2:36 AM [scooter] June 22nd -- the UNSC meets regarding Iraq 2:36 AM [scooter] the two government banks are to be re-booted and revalued 2:37 AM [scooter] There's more -- but I'm just too tired and have forgotten some of the other items 2:37 AM [eatmoney] works out 23rd is my b- day. 2:37 AM [scooter] Sweet 2:37 AM [eatmoney] 2:37 AM [scooter] the 28th is the publication of the operational exchange rates 2:38 AM [scooter] has anybody notice how many countries made changes to their rates on June 1 2:38 AM [scooter] holy cow 2:38 AM [scooter] never seen that many changes to rates ever 2:39 AM [scooter] Also, have you noticed the US dollar is positioning itself for a reversal 2:39 AM [eatmoney] yes been noticing that. 2:39 AM [scooter] they experts are cautiously optimistic 2:39 AM [scooter] that tells me that big $$$ know something that we don't 2:40 AM [eatmoney] follow the money 2:40 AM [scooter] I think part of this deal with China 2:40 AM [Scooby Doo] Scooter can I post this? 2:40 AM [scooter] has a committment that includes using USD for all oil purchases moving forward 2:40 AM [scooter] sure -- 2:41 AM [Scooby Doo] cool 2:41 AM [scooter] This was a good brain dump 32 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
