RMF: Just thinking out loud. If I remember right Parliament passed the 2024 Budget Schedules on 5/3/24. Then the Budget went directly to the Gazette on the 4th.
Now we know that if not signed it goes into effect automatically 15 days later...which takes us to the 20th of June...the stuff dreams are made of.
Always hopeful and believing this may be the month the people and investors have something to celebrate.
Of course any day would be just fine to wake up and find that I can stop worrying about paying my bills. etc.

Reconstructing Iraq: The role of banks in financing the future
6/8/2024
Reconstructing Iraq after years of wars and conflicts represents a great challenge, but it also represents an opportunity to rebuild a strong and sustainable economy.
Banks play a crucial role in financing reconstruction, by providing the loans and credit facilities necessary to finance construction and infrastructure projects.
The Iraqi Deposit Insurance Company played an important role in enhancing the confidence of investors and depositors in the Iraqi banking system, which made it easier for banks to obtain the necessary financing for reconstruction. It is estimated that Iraqi banks have provided loans worth more than $10 billion to finance reconstruction projects in recent years.
Germany's experience after World War II is an inspiring example of how banks can play a crucial role in the country's reconstruction. The KfW German Development Bank has contributed to financing many vital projects in Germany, such as rebuilding industrial and residential infrastructure, and providing financing for small and medium-sized companies.

Mnt Goat The electronic systems are taking hold...This will allow the shrinkage/withdrawal of the tangible currency notes from the market that is needed in the process to Delete the Zeros...a critical part of it...I can remember hearing as far back as 2010 from Dr Shabibi the importance of the electronic banking effort and its advantages to the process. Yes, they MUST shrink down the currency mass...if you shrink down the monetary mass than what is left will be worth more.
Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Sudani and Alaq...gave us a big speech...He started to compare corruption to terrorism saying we are not in terrorism as bad anymore, more secure, however corruption is still a daily thing...It is due to a lack of enforcing the anti-corruption law...Sudani said corruption will end and the tools needed will be utilized to its full maximum capacity to stop this corruption. FRANK: He's trying to explain to you what he promised to you but he's not going give it to you in this ugly environment...so they can steal it again.
