MilitiaMan and KTFA Members "Fascinating Times" 11-26-2020

KTFA:

Ross:  The 2021 budget has not been finalized by the Kadhimi Cabinet and they plan to work next Tuesday to complete that task and be in a position to submit same to Parliament: 

 "Minister of Culture Hassan Nazim announced, Tuesday, that the next session of the Council of Ministers (Cabinet) will be devoted to the budget law only.

He added that "the next cabinet session will be devoted to discussing the draft budget law only..."

IMO this is the next step in preparing the 2021 budget to be sent to Parliament and the postponing of Parliament's next meeting to 12/05 has nothing to do with this meeting next Tuesday.   I reserve the right to be wrong. Lol  

MilitiaMan:  My thinking is in line with yours.. Thanks for sharing..

MilitiaMan: They'll have to show the finalization of the 2020 budget, imo at some point. Thus, the data needed for the 2021 is my focus, as is the UN, etc.. (see below). We see the CBI has been busy lately too. They have been in talks with the BIS. That is a very good sign.

When the Central Bank of all Central Banks speaks about investing opportunities that are apparently agreed upon in respect to foreign reserves we should all take notice. Look at even the UN is waiting on the implementation of a correctional white paper issue. In other words a change to it.

That change may very well be between now and Tuesday. As noted in your post for the COM to have a meeting on the 2021 Budget only! They were very specific on that matter. Fascinating times we are witnessing.. imo ~ MM

"The association added, "The Central Bank of Iraq is taking a wise policy, during this stage under its new management, which is represented by increasing confidence between the banking sector and citizens, increasing monetary and pledging credit by supporting small, medium and large enterprises in addition to the successful experience that the Central Bank has undertaken in launching a special platform." Letters of guarantee"

The association noted that it "appreciates the great steps taken by the Central Bank in increasing financial inclusion and supporting banks in their work to diversify banking services, in addition to international cooperation between the central bank and its counterparts from international central banks, which leads to the development of relations between Iraqi and foreign banks, and that these policies and procedures" It will lead to an increase in banking services provided by banks to the aspiration of the Iraqi citizen

FROM IRAQI TV:

"Deleting 3 zeros from the currency .. Parliamentary finance  determines the size of the cost and the economic   effects"

"Therefore, in general, it can be said that deleting zeros from the local currency without meaningful and effective economic reforms in all economic sectors will be negative and have no positive impact on the national economy and does not contribute to reducing inflation, although some may delude some that prices have decreased and the purchasing power of the currency." Got better. Accordingly, it can be said that what was mentioned above applies to the Iraqi economy, and this step will have a negative impact if it is not carefully planned and is associated with effective economic measures, revitalizing national industry and supporting the private sector to advance the national economy.
