Tishwash: Deputy: The 2021 budget includes Kurdistan's dues for six years
Member of the Al-Fateh Alliance, MP Hamid Al-Mousawi, said today, Tuesday, that “the 2021 budget included Kurdistan's dues for six years, stressing in return that the region has not delivered any of its revenues to the state treasury.
Al-Mousawi said in a statement to (Al-Mustaqilla) that “the draft budget of 2021 calculated the dues of the Kurdistan region for previous years (2014-2020), at a time when it did not deliver any oil and non-oil revenues to the state treasury.”
He added, “Article (11), Clause Second, stipulates that the Kurdistan region should deliver (250) thousand barrels of crude oil per day to the SOMO company, and it is more correct for the text to deliver the Kurdistan region of its entire production of crude oil to the federal authority, as is the case with the rest of the Iraqi provinces.”
He pointed out that "the current expenditures for the year 2021 amounted to (120) trillion dinars, while it did not exceed in previous years to (44) trillion dinars." link

Petra the [last] two, five or six days the auctions have gone from 150-200 million down to a million, down to 350 thousand and I think today was zero. There's definitely a change going on.
Walkingstick & Frank26 IOO at the end of this week by Thursday or Friday and reviewed again at the end of the following week the CBI and all their money exchangers and banks will meet...on the subject of the tally of the 3 zero notes that have been collected. They want to determine if they have hit the sweet spot that they have agreed upon with them and the IMF. The CBI and IMF have a target in order to release the new small category notes and the next exchange rate change...
Frank26 What do you mean they lowered the price of the Iraqi dinar? Well they did. That's impossible, they said they were going to raise it. It's the China syndrome. China said the same thing back in 1995. 'We are not going to raise the value of our currency.' So did Kuwait. They said the same thing. But 3 days later China changed the value of their currency. They didn't want anyone to take advantage of them...The Iraqi dinar went down in value inside the country of Iraq...but now as of January 1st IMO they got a new rate...they are trying to tell you they don't have a program rate anymore...
