Peskov said that Western countries will pay for the Russian gas supplied to them in euros, as stipulated in the agreements concluded between them and Moscow, but the seller, the Russian "Gazprom", will receive the final payments in the Russian currency after buying rubles against the euro

Samson: An economic advisor blows up a big surprise: Iraq will get a surplus of 40 billion dollars this year

3rd April, 2022

The economic expert, Nasser Al-Kinani, said that the difference in the financial output, achieved from oil, in light of the current prices in global markets, may bring Iraq more than 40 billion dollars annually.

Al-Kinani said that "it is natural that there will be an increase in revenues resulting from the sale of oil, and a shortage may occur, and all according to the market," noting that "the price of oil in global markets has become volatile on a daily basis, and perhaps even in hours."

Clare: THIS IS FROM PETRA:

Petra: If I may provide a little commentary since I am taking the day off. Here is a statement I want all to remember:

When it's NOT God's time, you CANNOT force it. When it IS God's time, you CANNOT stop it!!! There are many things occurring outside Iraq that are global in both price and currency. Such as the price of oil, gold, and currency values such as the ruble.

The world is going thru change and the impact is global. Why is all this happening now? Do I believe the end times are upon us. I sure do, but my comment is for your focus to not be on little old Iraq but on a bigger picture that will require Iraq to reinstate their currency.

Samson: Saleh: The current year's budget may calculate the price of a barrel of oil at sixty dollars

29th March, 2022

Mazhar Muhammad Salih, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, said that the current year's budget may calculate the price of a barrel of oil between 50 and 70 dollars per barrel.

Saleh indicated that this matter has not been resolved so far, expecting that a barrel of oil will be calculated at sixty dollars.

It is likely that this budget will be expansionary, and most of the increases in it will be spent on food allocations for trade and the food security project, in addition to the 100,000 grant that the government intends to distribute to a number of groups. LINK

GodLover: Security & stability will come from a new seated government. I do agree, as everyone likely does, that the NSCN's will not work with a program rate. I wish I could believe the NSCN's had been printed & the training has happened & continues, but I have not seen any evidence of this. Certainly the opening of the 2022 budget will prove one way or the other.

MilitiaMan: FWIW, per my personal conversation with Delta who reads Arabic, my personal conversation with Pompey Peter and his contacts that have seen the data printed in Arabic spreadsheet showed that the CBI spent tens of millions $ on printing new currency, not to mention the film of them destroying large 000s notes.

As for training on the NSCN's (New Small Currency Notes) I have nothing to support that to be true personally, however, I like to believe that WSs bank connections would have knowledge of said training and to what levels done from top down, they would know and would specifically have a need to know.

MilitiaMan: The Finance Minister has his committee approved. (See articles below) He is praising the White Papers and the importance of them.

The "Transformation into a New Era" should not be lost on anyone. They have been consistently telling us they are going to change the exchange rate and even one where it is to be back to a previous era. The era that supports a "Transformation into a New Era" is for Iraq to revert to an era that mirrors the need for NSCNs and fils.

The previous program rate of 1190 or 1182 or 1166 don't and will not work with the NSCNs and fils.

There is no data to support that that would be in the White Papers..

They have told us they are using and are on a Digital Transformation roadmap. We know they have the AYSCUDA for taxation, the BUNA and the new CRS2 platforms for clearing currencies and payments and settlements down to the retail level.
