Finance talks about the salaries and promotions of employees
19th September, 2021
The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, on Sunday, that the employees’ salaries are secured and that the financial surplus allows for the release of upgrades, noting that if the experience of the Central Bank fails to reduce the exchange rate of the dollar, the trend in the coming years will be towards re-exchange to the old rate.
Committee member Naji Al-Saeedi said in a press statement, “The salaries of employees in the current budget are absolutely secured, and there is a surplus and there is no deficit in the budget, and this surplus can be used to launch bonuses and employee promotions, and most ministries’ budgets allow this.”
Al-Saidi added, “Special job grades will be launched for all ministries in the next budget,” noting that “with regard to promotions, as we know, they have been suspended for years, but most ministries allow promotions, including the Ministry of Education, and there is a plan in the rest of the ministries, and the financial allocation for the rest of the ministries will be provided and launched in next years".
As for the price of the dollar, the committee member explained, “It is a governmental issue that has nothing to do with the House of Representatives, and it is an arithmetic issue through calculating the general revenues of the budget,” stressing that “if there is a failure in the experience of the Central Bank about reducing the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, the trend will be in the coming years are about changing the exchange rate and bringing it back to its previous era, by allocating the price of the dollar and selling it in the markets in order to stabilize its exchange rates.”
With regard to contracts, Al-Saidi said that “according to the text of the law, those who have completed five years will be fixed on the permanent owners, and those who are not confirmed, this is due to the issue of local revenues because their budget is self-balancing.” LINK

***********************
MilitiaMan: From the amount of convergences we see above they timing is clearly in our favor for an exchange rate change. The are openly talking about digitization and with currencies being apart of the future outlook and much more.
There are clear time frames being talked about. They are their words and not mine.
I suggest one reads the snippets and take in the chronology of events seriously. They are profound in correlation and timing. The process to digitize is inevitable. It is new and is at incubator status.
That means ground floor to investors. Thus, the new economic environment is ripe to grow and big time!
The environment will need the exchange rate to be with out occupation. As, in not at a program rate
. They even tell us so and that specific countries have had a hand in keeping the exchange rate occupied. They had to to get this to where we are now. A place where Iraq goes digital and international.
They even told us that it is inevitable and that they already have it in the cards to evaluate oil pricing in Dinar. Digitizing Iraq at a program rate is not in those cards, in fact it won't work.
Digitizing and Block Chain technology, the most advanced systems in the world will require a level playing field. A program rate is not on one.
The 2021 Budget Amendments were said to be slated for the 14th of September, though on the 17th they told us they postponed that until today. Today they told us they heard the appeal and will decide on the 23rd. Well, above we see events on the 22-23rd at the EXPO. Look who is in the line up.. It is the PTB in finance in Iraq.
All of the work in the White Papers PM Kahdimi laid out on 08/22/2021 are about what we are witnessing now.
A digital transformation that will be global is fully underway and cannot stop, imo.. They are going to end the occupation of the DINAR and that means they are to have practical sovereignty over their national product, their currency!!!
That is what I see.. I hope you all do as well. Lets see if we get a surprise and they show just how sovereign they really are prior to the 23rd. ~ MM
Samson: Parliamentary warnings of an "explosion of the situation" in central and southern Iraq
21st September, 2021
The Parliamentary Economy and Investment Committee warned today, Tuesday, of an explosion in the street in central and southern Iraq due to the deteriorating living conditions and the spread of unemployment in society.
Committee member Nada Shaker Jawdat told Shafaq News Agency, "The street in central and southern Iraq is close to an explosion, due to a frightening increase in the unemployment rate, and a decline in the economic situation in various fields, and the reason for this raised the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar, which increased the prices of Iraqi markets. This affected the citizens significantly, as well as contributed to raising the unemployment rates.”
And she indicated that "the Iraqi government is required to develop quick plans to address the economic situation in central and southern Iraq, as well as find real solutions to the issue of the high unemployment rate in these cities, before the Iraqi street explodes, due to the economic situation that it has been going through for a long time."
The Central Bank of Iraq had decided at the end of last year to raise the price of selling the dollar to banks and exchange companies to 1460 dinars, from 1182 dinars to one dollar, with the aim of compensating for the decline in oil revenues caused by the deterioration of oil prices.
The devaluation of the local currency against the hard currency was reflected in the prices of goods and merchandise, especially imported ones, in Iraq, as it witnessed a remarkable rise, which burdened the low-income and the poor.
Iraq relies 90% of its income on oil revenues, and the last time it devalued the dinar was in December 2015 when it raised the selling price of the dollar to 1182 dinars, compared to 1166 dinars in the past.
The Central Bank launched its decision regarding the new pricing for selling the dollar in a public currency auction on the 20th of last December. Iraq is under great pressure under the weight of the worst economic crisis it has witnessed since 2003 until now due to low oil prices and the outbreak of the Corona virus. LINK
************
MilitiaMan: The pressure is on again and the timing ahead of elections is probably going to need to be addressed long before vote day. Just as the effects of the devaluation have had significant negative impact. Key elements that will have profound effects leading up to the election.
The PM and CBI can fix that quickly imo, possibly once a decision is made from the court on the 2019 FMLA - 2021 Budget that is set for the 23rd, Thursday that coincides with the EXPO completion day and the Jordan Delegation follow up to the tripartite Baghdad summit. (The latter was also mentioned in respect to the side bar UN meetings yesterday.) That is if a decision needs to be made by the court, as there is indication, there is no need. So the theory out there we are waiting in elections, is not in the cards imo.. ~ MM
