Is Iraq Ready to Drop the Zeros?
By Reset Intelligence | @EXIT_FIAT
Everyone is asking whether Iraq is about to drop a zero off the dinar. That is the loud story.
The story that pays is what the Central Bank of Iraq did to itself over the weekend, while the world watched the war instead.
What actually moved
While the guns paused over Iran for a second day, Baghdad spent the weekend working on the machinery of its own financial system. Not a headline. A reorganization chart, a revenue number, and another pile of seized cash. Here is the short version of the moves, all on the public record:
• CBI restructure – approved 25 July, effective 30 July. The Central Bank upgraded its supervision of the cash economy and pulled its Basra, Mosul and Erbil branches under direct control.
• Non-oil revenue – a record 16% of government income for May and June. It was under 5% before 2020. For an oil economy, income that is not oil is the rare signal.
• Operation Dawn – the al-Jumaili c********n case seizures climbed to 127 billion dinars and $24 million, plus property and gold. 15 people arrested, including lawmakers and former governors.
• Pipeline treaty – the 1973 Iraq-Turkey oil agreement formally expires today. An interim protocol keeps roughly 250,000 barrels a day flowing while a new deal is negotiated.
The zero everyone is chasing
An economic expert floated the idea of removing one zero from the dinar. No official has confirmed it, and here is the part almost nobody explains: removing a zero is a redenomination. It changes the face of the note, not what the note buys. It is not the reprice this community has waited on for 20 years. We break down why the rumour is a conditioning exercise, and what the real moves underneath it are pointing to, inside the full briefing.
The number on the note has not moved yet. The country underneath it is being rebuilt to carry a different one. The only question history will ask is who was watching the wiring while everyone else watched the war.

The Operational Framework Unfolding: Implementation Phase Has Started
Operation Global Realignment

The Operational Framework Unfolding: Implementation Phase Has Started
Operation Global Realignment
This moment stands as one of the most decisive inflection points in modern financial history. The impending Senate floor vote on the Crypto Clarity Act will codify regulatory certainty for digital assets in the United States, effectively dismantling the final legal barriers that have kept decentralized finance chained to the legacy fiat architecture.
By removing regulatory ambiguity, the Act accelerates the migration of capital away from the parasitic Rothschild-controlled debt-based monetary system that has dominated global finance for over a century.
This shift will starve the old central-bank debt engine of its endless liquidity and force a painful but necessary reconfiguration of value storage worldwide.
The Japanese reverse carry trade, now entering its terminal phase, serves as the critical detonator. With the Bank of Japan openly committing to more frequent rate hikes beyond the previous six-month cadence, the yen carry trade that fueled cheap global borrowing for decades is being deliberately unwound. BoJ insider warnings from figures such as Yuto have proven accurate.
This constitutes an orchestrated collapse designed to trigger the broader Great Financial Reset. The dominoes are falling in sequence. Let’s get into it.
Impact on the Iraqi Dinar and Parallel Digital Transformation
– TheCrypto Clarity Act will create a parallel, regulated on-ramp for sovereign digital currencies and tokenized assets, directly benefiting Iraq’s dual-track strategy of currency redenomination and full digital migration.
– Iraq’s Deletion of 3 Zeros Project, which physically removes three zeros from the dinar while simultaneously launching a digital dinar on a blockchain-compliant ledger, gains immediate legitimacy and interoperability once U.S. regulatory clarity is established. This removes previous skepticism around sovereign digital currencies being treated as unregistered securities.
– The ASYCUDA Agreement (Automated System for Customs Data) signed with the World Trade Organization streamlines Iraq’s customs, taxation, and cross-border settlement processes. When layered atop the Clarity Act’s framework, it enables real-time, transparent dinar-denominated trade settlements that bypass traditional SWIFT bottlenecks still tied to legacy debt structures.
– Once the Senate vote passes, institutional capital currently sidelined by regulatory fear will flow into compliant crypto infrastructure. This capital will seek yield in undervalued, resource-backed digital sovereigns such as the new Iraqi dinar, whose oil reserves, reconstruction contracts, and WTO accession provide tangible collateral absent in most fiat experiments.

Tishwash: Mid-August is the deadline... the formation of the government enters its final stage.
7/27/2026
The issue of completing the cabinet has entered a new phase of political activity, following indications of a convergence of positions among the blocs regarding the vacant portfolios, at a time when attention is turning to the House of Representatives to resolve this long-awaited entitlement, amid expectations that the nominated names will be put to a vote during the middle of next August.
MP Ali Nahir said in a press statement followed by “Baghdad Today”, that “the completion of the ministerial cabinet will be in the middle of next month, especially after the understandings that took place between the political blocs regarding ministerial entitlements”, indicating that “its completion also means the completion of citizens’ rights.”
For his part, MP Jawad Rahim Al-Saadi said that “the completion of the cabinet was supposed to have taken place before the Prime Minister’s visit to the United States, but its resolution was postponed pending the arrival of the candidates’ names,” noting that “the number of remaining ministerial portfolios is nine.”
For his part, Walaa al-Jizani, deputy head of the Badr parliamentary bloc, confirmed that “the deliberations between the political blocs are still ongoing based on entitlements,” expecting to proceed with the vote on the remaining ministerial cabinet “in the middle of next August.”
This statement comes amid ongoing negotiations between political forces to complete the formation of the new government, after a number of ministerial portfolios were decided and other positions, including deputy prime ministers and some service ministries, remain subject to negotiation between blocs according to the principle of electoral entitlement and political balances, amid anticipation of the announcement of the final formula of the government cabinet in the coming days.

Final Silver CRASH Coming! $39/oz Likely | Chris Vermeulen
Liberty and Finance: 7-27-2026
Gold and silver may not have reached their final lows, according to technical analyst Chris Vermeulen, who warns that both metals could see another major leg down before the next long-term bull market begins.
Using Fibonacci analysis, he explains why silver could fall toward $40-$39 and gold toward $3,600-$3,300 despite growing bullish sentiment among investors.
Vermeulen also points to a weakening stock market, a strengthening U.S. dollar, and rising oil prices as potential catalysts for a broad market washout.
He discusses why panic selling could create one of the best long-term buying opportunities in years for precious metals.
Finally, Chris shares what indicators he's watching to determine when the next sustained bull market in gold and silver is ready to begin.

The Big Ripple Infrastructure Picture: Context is Everything
The protocol creates the network.
The infrastructure company creates the services.
The liquidity providers help value move efficiently.
Financial institutions provide regulated access.
Applications create user experiences.
Each layer can become valuable for different reasons.
If one imagines a future where open value-transfer protocols like XRPL/ILP become as foundational to finance as TCP/IP became to the internet, then the long-term significance of companies like @Ripple that have spent 15+ years building enterprise infrastructure around those protocols could be substantial.
Notably, because the XRPL/ILP protocols are open-source, no single company can own the network itself, and multiple participants are free to build successful products and services on the same shared foundation.
KUWL Takeaway
TCP/IP didn’t become valuable because someone owned it. It became invaluable because everyone could use it.
If open-source XRPL/ILP financial protocols achieve similar global interoperability for value transfer, the greatest opportunities will lie not in owning the protocol itself, but in building trusted, regulated, high-performance infrastructure that helps the world use it.
The King of Engineering DLT benefits and invaluable protocols the world over will soon be fully recognized with an Act of Clarity.
Three reasonable valuation lenses add better context:
Replacement Value
“What would it cost to recreate?”
Replacing today’s global Internet protocols, infrastructure, standards, software, routing systems, and interoperability would likely cost tens of trillions of dollars and take decades.
Reasonable estimate: $20–50 trillion
Economic Dependency Value
“How much GDP depends upon TCP/IP?”
Nearly every modern industry now relies on TCP/IP:
Banking
Payments
Communications
Cloud computing
AI
Healthcare
Transportation
Defense
Manufacturing
Retail
Education
Global GDP today exceeds $120 trillion annually.
If TCP/IP vanished tomorrow, enormous portions of global commerce would stop almost immediately.
One could reasonably argue TCP/IP enables $40–80+ trillion of annual economic activity.
Infrastructure that enables that much production would likely be valued well above a single year’s output.
Reasonable implied value: $100–300 trillion
Strategic Utility Value
This is the interesting one.
Utilities often become more valuable than many companies built upon them.
For example:
Interstate highways
Electrical grid
GPS
Shipping lanes
Air traffic control
None generate profits proportional to their societal value.
TCP/IP belongs in this category.
Its value comes from being:
Universal
Neutral
Permissionless
Open
Interoperable
Those characteristics create enormous network effects that are difficult to replicate.
Many economists could plausibly argue TCP/IP societal value approaches several hundred trillion dollars.
Ripple, building with RippleNet, XRP and a portfolio of 900+ talented professionals, patented solutions, extraordinary compliance, prestigious customers and global legislation running atop an Open Protocol Internet of Value, should become an enterprise of value without any historical precedent.

Iraqi Dinar Sunday Update - Things Are Heating Up
Iraqi Dinar Sunday Update - Things Are Heating Up
The Dinar Den: 7-26-2026
In the world of international currency speculation, few topics generate as much discussion as the Iraqi dinar. For long-term investors like Stephen, an entrepreneur who has been following the dinar since 2011, the current economic climate in Iraq signals a potential turning point.
In a recent update from The Dinar Den, Stephen provides a balanced perspective on the anticipated revaluation of the currency, blending deep-rooted experience with a grounded, realistic outlook on the complexities of Iraqi financial reform.
Iraqi Dinar Sunday Update - Things Are Heating Up
The Dinar Den: 7-26-2026
In the world of international currency speculation, few topics generate as much discussion as the Iraqi dinar. For long-term investors like Stephen, an entrepreneur who has been following the dinar since 2011, the current economic climate in Iraq signals a potential turning point.
In a recent update from The Dinar Den, Stephen provides a balanced perspective on the anticipated revaluation of the currency, blending deep-rooted experience with a grounded, realistic outlook on the complexities of Iraqi financial reform.
Beyond the numbers and economic charts, Stephen’s recent update highlights the human element of investing. He recently shared the personal challenges his family faced with the birth of his second son, Roman. Despite a difficult stay in the NICU, Stephen reports that Roman is recovering well—a blessing that he views as a reminder of what truly matters. This vulnerability resonates with his audience, anchoring the technical discussion of “wealth transfers” in a broader context of gratitude and personal values. It serves as a reminder that while financial goals are important, they are often secondary to the health and well-being of our loved ones.
One of the most critical aspects of Stephen’s analysis is the distinction between redenomination and revaluation.
The Iraqi government has been vocal about its plans to “delete the zeros” from the currency. To the casual observer, this might seem like a simple cosmetic change. However, Stephen explains that this redenomination is a strategic move to simplify the currency and restore public confidence.
By removing the large nominal values, the government hopes to encourage citizens to move hoarded cash into the formal banking system.
The real excitement for investors, however, lies in the potential for a simultaneous revaluation (RV). While redenomination is an accounting adjustment, a revaluation increases the actual purchasing power of the currency. Stephen suggests that these two processes, when paired together, could modernize Iraq’s economy and provide significant benefits to both domestic citizens and foreign participants.
A significant indicator of Iraq’s progress is the recent modernization of its banking institutions.
Stephen points to the scheduled technical upgrades at the Iraqi Trade Bank (TBI) as a pivotal sign. These upgrades, which temporarily suspended withdrawals and deposits to implement new systems, are essential for supporting a 21st-century financial framework. A modernized banking infrastructure is a prerequisite for any major currency overhaul, as it ensures that the system can handle increased liquidity and more sophisticated digital transactions.
Furthermore, the Iraqi government’s push toward digital banking adoption is a clear attempt to move away from a cash-heavy economy. By integrating more citizens into the formal financial sector, the Central Bank of Iraq gains better control over the money supply, which is a necessary step toward stabilizing the dinar’s value on the global stage.
Investors often pore over Iraqi news articles looking for “signals” of an imminent change. However, Stephen offers an insightful correction to this approach. He notes that the primary audience for these government communications is the Iraqi public, not foreign investors. The goal of these articles is to educate the local population on how to use new denominations and how to interface with the evolving banking system.
Understanding this distinction helps investors manage their expectations. The transparency of the Iraqi government regarding its “Project to Delete the Zeros” is an educational campaign designed to prevent domestic panic and ensure a smooth transition. While these reports are encouraging, they are part of a structured internal policy rather than a countdown clock for international markets.
Despite his long-term involvement and optimism—noting that August could be a significant month for developments—Stephen remains a voice of caution. He emphasizes that the timeline for such a massive economic shift remains fluid and is known only to a few high-level officials. He urges his viewers to avoid over-speculation and to remain patient, trusting that the reforms currently underway are laying the groundwork for a more prosperous future.

Stephanie Starr: Iraq is Already Looking Ahead to the 2027 Federal Budget
7-27-2026
Iraq is already looking ahead to the 2027 federal budget, and that’s telling.
The Parliamentary Finance Committee is reviewing:
Fiscal plans
Spending reforms
Fee adjustments
Revenue optimization
Performance-based budgeting
This isn’t just about writing another budget, it’s about transforming Iraq into a modern, sustainable economy with stronger non-oil revenues, greater fiscal discipline, and improved government accountability.
Over the past few years Iraq has:
Modernized its banking sector
Expanded electronic payments
Increased tax and customs collection
Advanced digital transformation
Worked to reconnect its financial system with global markets!
Preparing the 2027 budget while these reforms continue signals that Baghdad is planning beyond today’s challenges and building the financial framework for long-term economic growth (that we all know will increase the value of the dinar)
The foundation is being laid. Watch the reforms not just the headlines.

Jeff REER means Real Effective Exchange Rate. Depending on where the country's inflation is, is going to determine the direction the rate is going to go, whether it goes up or down. Iraq has...almost no inflation so the REER is going to go in a positive direction through a redenomination. There's nothing to worry about here.

Holly Celiano: Latest Weekly Iraq and Financial Updates as of 24th July 2026
7-25-2026
The global financial landscape is currently undergoing a transformation of historic proportions.
According to recent updates from industry observers like Holly Celiano, who recently shared insights from Scott Brunswick and other corroborated sources, the transition from traditional fiat-based systems to a more secure, asset-backed model is well underway.
At the heart of this evolution is the Quantum Financial System (QFS), a sophisticated technological framework designed to bring transparency, security, and stability to international trade and personal banking.
The Quantum Financial System is no longer a mere concept; reports indicate it is now fully operational on a global scale. This system is instrumental in facilitating the transition of 209 nations away from fiat currencies—which are backed by government decree—toward systems backed by tangible assets, primarily gold.
This shift suggests a level of international coordination and banking readiness that many have anticipated for years. By grounding currency in gold, the global economy aims to move toward a more stable valuation model, reducing the volatility often associated with traditional central banking.
A pivotal piece of this financial puzzle is the nation of Iraq. In recent updates, Iraq has been identified as a “catalyst nation,” having finalized its currency readiness. This milestone is significant because it serves as an initiating force for the broader Global Currency Reset (GCR).
When a key nation like Iraq completes its internal protocols and aligns with the new system, it signals trust and validation to the rest of the world. This step is expected to accelerate a sequence of “unlocks” that will eventually allow other participating nations to follow suit in the global reset.
The transition to a new financial architecture is not being handled lightly. It is governed by a series of strict protocols and legal frameworks to ensure a secure rollout. A major component of this is ISO 20022, a modern international messaging standard for electronic data interchange between financial institutions.
By utilizing this standard alongside executive orders and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), the transition ensures a high level of precision. These measures are designed to eliminate the risk of fraud, disruption, or manipulation as the world’s financial plumbing is essentially replaced.
One of the more intriguing aspects of the current transition is the gap between “behind-the-scenes” progress and public perception. Information suggests that much of what the public currently witnesses is a “reenactment” of events that have already been finalized in private sectors or high-level government circles.
This reframes the way we interpret daily news; what may seem like a delay or a scripted event is often a public-facing mirror of a reality that has already been secured. Understanding this helps observers maintain perspective as the full disclosure of the new system approaches.
For those awaiting specific dates for the completion of the GCR, the current advice is to focus on milestones rather than the calendar. The transition is not date-driven; rather, it is a procedural evolution that depends on fulfilling specific “tiers” of readiness.
This focus on process over arbitrary deadlines prevents disillusionment and underscores the complexity of reconfiguring the world’s economy. While legislative milestones, such as the anticipated movement regarding the Clarity Act in the coming months, provide markers for progress, patience remains the most valuable asset for the general public.
Beyond the technical and legislative aspects of the QFS, there is a significant psychological component to this era of change. The transition is often described as a “live audition” for the future. Individuals are encouraged to cultivate a mindset of positivity, kindness, and helpfulness. By focusing on personal growth and community support, people can better prepare themselves for the new opportunities that a gold-backed, transparent financial system provides. Preparing your mindset is just as critical as understanding the financial mechanics of the shift.
As we move further into this transitional period, it is essential to stay informed through reliable sources and remain patient as the final stages of the Global Currency Reset unfold.
The shift to the Quantum Financial System represents a move toward a more equitable and secure financial future for 209 nations.
For those looking for more in-depth insights, the full update provided by Holly Celiano offers a comprehensive look at how these changes are manifesting globally.

Jon Dowling: Updates on Iraq and Iran, Vietnam New PM Coming to DC, Mindset on the Global Reset
24th July 2026
The global financial system is undergoing an unprecedented evolution, driven by sovereign monetary restructuring, legislative updates, and a broader return toward asset-backed value.
In his latest weekly economic report, financial commentator Jon Dowling outlines a comprehensive picture of these shifts. From high-level meetings between regional leaders and international figures to crucial legislative developments in the United States, the current landscape points toward a coordinated effort to modernize banking systems, streamline international trade, and eliminate institutional vulnerabilities.
At the epicenter of this financial shift is Iraq, whose economic stabilization and monetary efforts serve as a major indicator of regional and global integration. Combined with emerging digital asset frameworks and clarified movements in the physical gold market, these developments signal a pivotal moment for international commerce and individual financial readiness.
For years, narratives surrounding Iraq’s currency focused on simplistic reset scenarios or redenomination proposals, often referred to as a “lop.” However, current actions by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) demonstrate a far more sophisticated strategy.
Recent structured engagements between the central bank, commercial banking institutions, and currency exchange companies highlight a deliberate campaign to overhaul the nation’s financial architecture. By enforcing strict compliance mechanisms and adopting international banking standards, Iraq is laying the groundwork to re-engage with global monetary markets on solid economic footing.
A primary driver behind these rigorous banking reforms is the need to curb illicit money flows and dismantle corruption networks, particularly those linked to regional proxy influences.
By creating a transparent, traceable, and secure banking environment, Baghdad aims to protect its national assets while attracting foreign direct investment. This strategic pivot moves Iraq away from historical economic isolation and positions the Iraqi dinar as a viable, credible currency capable of supporting expanded domestic and international trade activities.
Alongside domestic financial overhauls, Iraq is redefining its strategic geopolitical relationships. Recent diplomatic exchanges resulted in four bilateral agreements between Iraq and Iran, specifically targeting cross-border infrastructure, job creation, and joint anti-corruption measures.
While Iran has historically exerted significant political and economic influence over its neighbor, these new agreements reflect Baghdad’s growing commitment to national sovereignty and economic diversification.
Rather than remaining a passive participant in regional dynamics, Iraq is actively balancing its relationships with both Eastern and Western powers. By formalizing agreements that emphasize institutional integrity and mutual economic growth, Iraq mitigates regional tensions while safeguarding its domestic reform agenda. This equilibrium is essential for creating a stable environment wherein long-term economic policies and infrastructure projects can successfully take root.
As part of its modernization campaign, Iraq is preparing for a dual-track monetary model that combines physical currency notes with a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)—the digital dinar.
This modern approach addresses both domestic transaction efficiency and international trade capabilities. A key highlight of this strategy is the potential utilization of enterprise blockchain protocols, such as XRP, to serve as an underlying framework for cross-border settlements.
Integrating blockchain networks capable of executing instant, low-cost, and compliant cross-border transactions offers Iraq a gateway to frictionless global commerce. By moving away from legacy payment networks, which are often slow and costly, the adoption of compliant digital assets ensures that Iraq’s international payments meet global regulatory standards. This modern financial architecture significantly enhances liquidity, minimizes counterparty risk, and reinforces the stability of the digital dinar.
Parallel to monetary developments in the Middle East, the United States is advancing key legislative initiatives that could reshape the global digital and commodity asset landscape. A focal point of this policy drive is the pending Clarity Act (HR 3633). Designed to establish clear regulatory boundaries for cryptocurrencies and digital commodities, this bill aims to remove legal ambiguities that have historically restricted institutional capital from entering the digital asset ecosystem.
There is growing bipartisan momentum behind the Clarity Act as lawmakers look to position the US as a leader in financial technology before upcoming election cycles. By providing a clear statutory framework, the bill promises to unlock suppressed liquidity and accelerate the integration of blockchain technology into mainstream finance. For market participants, this regulatory transparency is a vital prerequisite for a broader transition toward an open, decentralized, and efficient global market structure.
Understanding current developments in precious metals requires separating market noise from factual economic policy. Recent rumors surrounding China’s gold market created confusion, suggesting that the nation had halted gold trading entirely.
In reality, Chinese regulators implemented targeted restrictions specifically on leveraged retail paper gold trading. This regulatory crackdown was designed to mitigate excessive market volatility and curb speculative risks among retail investors, while physical gold transactions and institutional liquidity remained fully operational.
At the same time, central banks around the world continue to strengthen their physical reserve balances.
In the United States, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent highlighted that the US holds over 8,000 metric tons of physical gold, valued at well over $1 trillion. This ongoing emphasis on tangible asset backing aligns with symbolic initiatives like President Trump’s Liberty Eagle gold coin, which underscores a growing consensus: future economic stability relies on solid, real-asset foundations rather than unrestrained fiat expansion.
While tracking policy changes, banking legislation, and commodity trends is essential, internal readiness is equally critical. Major macroeconomic transitions require mental resilience, patience, and strategic foresight. Historically, systemic financial shifts unfold through deliberate regulatory steps rather than chaotic overnight movements, demanding a disciplined and proactive approach from individuals and investors alike.
Many view periods of significant change—such as the month of August, often regarded symbolically as a period of new beginnings—as an opportunity to reset both personal finances and strategic goals.
Maintaining an informed, calm, and forward-looking mindset ensures that individuals are well-equipped to navigate structural changes in the global economy, grounded in research rather than hype.
The convergence of Iraq’s institutional banking reforms, modern blockchain settlement protocols, clear US legislative frameworks, and a renewed emphasis on physical gold reserves points toward a fundamental restructuring of the global financial architecture.
As countries pivot toward asset-backed value and technological interoperability, staying informed with factual, balanced analysis is essential.

IQD Update: The Process Is Reaching A End Point:
Are You All Following These Updates?
• Because Iraq’s current program rate system has kept its Dinar artificially undervalued and restricted convertibility; WTO entry will force greater openness and flexibility.
• This creates an opening for a redenominated Digital Dinar (with three zeros deleted) to be listed on global forex markets at a fair value reflecting Iraq’s resource base.
• The Ministry of Trade’s technical meetings in Geneva focused on finalizing protocols for customs data automation (ASYCUDA), digital trade settlement rails, and compliance with international anti-money laundering (AML) standards.
Institutional Capital Positioning Ahead of FX Debut
3 Steps To Look Into For This
-Select Gulf sovereign wealth funds and Asian family offices have begun quietly accumulating physical/digital Dinars in anticipation of their global relisting at higher valuations.
-These flows are being routed through newly established custody arrangements in Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Singapore Monetary Authority sandboxes.
-Once regulatory clarity from U.S./EU authorities aligns with WTO protocols, institutional capital will flow into compliant digital Iraqi dinars at scale.
So in other words Iraq’s accelerated WTO accession sets in motion a chain reaction that will culminate in its currency being relisted on global forex markets at a fair value reflecting its true economic potential likely following an initial upward revaluation tied to oil/gas exports before transitioning toward full floating status.
IraqiNews:Iraq is stepping up efforts to join the World Trade Organization, with the new administration pushing forward a process officials see as part of a broader economic reform and diversification agenda.
➡️Membership would bring Iraq into the rules-based global trading system, requiring it to align trade policies with international standards.
➡️ A team from Iraq's Ministry of Trade traveled to Geneva last week to finalize technical documents with the WTO Accession Division and the International Trade Centre.
➡️ The ITC has supported Iraq's accession since 2020 through an EU-funded program focused on institutional reform and trade law modernization.

Jeff MOUs...Last week they were in DC...as of yesterday that was $200 billion in new revenue coming in to Iraq. Today they signed MOUs with Iran. Next week they're signing MOUs with Turkey...Iraq needs to know all of their expenses and revenue streams to correctly draft their budgets...Why the hell hasn't the rate changed, why the cabinet hasn't been completed? They have to know all of their money figures before they can revalue. The cabinet completion is the lynch pin to the rate change...Those two are almost one in the same.
Mnt Goat Is the Oil and Gas Law passed? I am a bit disappointed with the first two sessions of parliament under this new administration. During the election cycle we read multiple articles on how they would put a ‘high priority’ on the Oil and Gas Law and other laws. Yet it has not been taken up. We need to keep a close eye on this law.
