IQD CALLS Chat Early Thursday 4-2-20
chattels Haitham al-Jiboury, head of the Iraqi parliament’s finance committee, told Rudaw English he foresees a deficit of around 50 trillion dinars ($42 billion) in the 2020 budget plan.
If oil prices remain this low, that deficit could rise to more than 100 trillion dinars.
Baxter all they have to do is revalue their currency... LOL
Baxter according to the gurus
chattels Iraq has not had a fully-functioning government since last December, when caretaker Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi resigned in the face of mass protests over unemployment, corruption, and the lack of basic services.
His replacement, Mohammed Tawfiq Allawi, also resigned in early March after he failed to win parliamentary approval for his cabinet.
The task has now fallen to former Najaf governor Adnan al-Zurfi – an unpopular choice among Iraq’s powerful Iran-backed Shiite blocs and anti-government protesters

chattels Based on this price and increased exports to 3.6m bpd, total revenues for April would be $2.33bn. That’s before payments to IOCs. Not even half of payroll costs. Finding $3bn+ per month just to ease cash flow evens without drawing down from reserves is enough of a challenge https://twitter.com/SajadJiyad

chattels A sharp rise in the exchange rate of the dollar
Thursday 02, April 2020 https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=821381
chattels The US dollar exchange rate against the dinar increased sharply today, Thursday.
The sale price in the exchange offices between 126 thousand and 130 thousand dinars per hundred dollars, according to the regions.
Some attributed the rise of the dollar to the closing of the Kifah Stock Exchange due to the curfew\.
chattels Increasingly it appears that the fractional value of the IQD to the US dollar is degrading.

xyz Covid-19 a biological weapon, alleges US lawyer who sued China
Larry Klayman says the virus was developed in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
New Delhi: American lawyer Larry Klayman, who has filed a $20 trillion lawsuit against the Chinese government, believes that the US intelligence agencies have evidence to prove beyond doubt that Covid-19 is a biological weapon. https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/covid-19-biological-weapon-alleges-us-lawyer-sued-china
chattels BAGHDAD — As the deadline approaches for Iraqi Prime Minister-designate Adnan al-Zurfi to form his government, he continues to meet with different parties to gain the support of the United States and Iran and ensure parliamentary approval of his government.
Since the fall of Saddam Hussein, all Iraqi prime ministers have needed the approval of two rival powers — the United States and Iran — to form a government.
Zurfi has 30 days from the date of his appointment as prime minister (March 17) to form a government and obtain parliamentary approval for that government, otherwise another candidate will take his place.

chattels Under such circumstances, it will be difficult for Zurfi to successfully form a government. Iran's political influence, not only among the Shiites but the Sunnis and the Kurds, will pose a challenge to Zurfi's government formation; the Sunnis and Kurds will not vote for a prime minister whom the Shiites and Iranians do not accept.

Baxter ON MARCH 2.. ONE MONTH AGO... GOV CUOMO STATED THIS: "This evening we learned of the first positive case of novel coronavirus — or COVID-19 — in New York State. The patient, a woman in her late thirties, contracted the virus while traveling abroad in Iran, and is currently isolated in her home. The patient has respiratory symptoms, but is not in serious condition and has been in a controlled situation since arriving to New York.
"There is no cause for surprise -- this was expected. As I said from the beginning, it was a matter of when, not if there would be a positive case of novel coronavirus in New York.
"There is no reason for undue anxiety -- the general risk remains low in New York.
New York.. recorded is 2,200 Death this morning... One Month Later
Baxter called it a Novelty
Baxter over 85,000 Infected in New York
Patty Doug_W I was trying to find out if there were any reported cases in my little town here in Snohomish County and ran into a statement from Washington State Dept. of Health who is tracking the disease. In that statement they didn't have results. They had to eliminate 2,000 duplicate results. Now, I don't know if those were for positive, or negative results. But I wondered how many duplicate results Nation wide are being duplicated.
