Tishwash:  A parliamentary committee confirms the imminent adoption of the oil and gas law: it has priority in legislation

Today, Thursday (July 27, 2023), the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee revealed that the legislation of the oil and gas law in the Iraqi parliament is imminent, while confirming that it has priority in legislation after the approval of the budget law.

Committee member Jay Taymur told "Baghdad Today" that "there is a political agreement on the legislation of the oil and gas law, and this law has priority in legislation after the approval of the budget law, and this matter is agreed upon within the State Administration Coalition."

Timur pointed out that "the coming days will witness the completion of the dialogues between Baghdad and Erbil in order to resolve all the paragraphs and provisions of the Oil and Gas Law, to send it to Parliament for a vote on it."

He continued, "This law is very important to regulate the financial and oil relationship between the center and the region."

And last Sunday (July 23, 2023), the Parliamentary Oil and Natural Resources Committee confirmed that it was awaiting a meeting with the President of the Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani, to resolve the final version of the oil and gas law, noting at the same time the insistence of the head of the federal government, Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani, to approve it as soon as possible.

The oil and gas law is one of the most important differences between the federal government and the Kurdistan region, and the parties did not reach a settlement on it throughout the past four parliamentary sessions. link

Militia Man   Article:  "The rise in the exchange rate my time and the project to delete the zeros still exists"  A lot of people said it's never going to happen...Today they reiterate specifically in the headline that their 'deletion of the zeros' still exists...my understanding...is they're not talking about taking off 3-zeros off the currency notes themselves.   It's taking 3-zeros off the exchange rate.  There is a difference.  It's not about taking three zeros off the notes.

Frank26  Article Quote: "It has been dismissed from printing the category of twenty thousand dinars because of the existence of a category of 25 thousand dinars, and we do not wish to expand the current categories, because the project to delete zeros still exists."  There you go!  ...We're trying to collect the 25ks.  You know why? Because once we collect the 25ks we collect the 3-zeros...This is amazing to see from the CBI.
