Baghdad: Fadel al-Nashmi
The Committee on Oil and Energy in the Federal Parliament, the formation of a fact-finding committee on oil exports to the Kurdistan region, which refrains from the obligation to deliver to the federal government its quota of oil, 250 thousand barrels per day.
The committee said in a statement published on the official website of the «House of Representatives», the day before yesterday, that «the committee includes seven deputies, to submit its report to its presidency within two weeks of its formation». The committee said it also discussed «the invitation by the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government to committees: oil and energy, legal, and financial».
Amjad al-Oqabi, a member of the oil and energy committee, said that the committee was formed at the direction of Parliament Speaker Mohammad Halbousi, who visited the region recently, and agreed with the President of the Kurdistan Regional Government Masrour Barzani to send a parliamentary committee there, to resolve the outstanding problems between Baghdad and Erbil on the oil issue. ». Al-Oqabi adds in an interview with Al-Sharq Al-Awsat that «parliament is on the verge of legislating the general budget for 2020. To avoid falling into the problem of oil revenues of the region and the amount that occurred in the 2019 budget between Baghdad and Erbil, this committee was formed in the hope of preparing a detailed report on the nature of the oil problem, And the quantities issued by the region, and those who sell them ».
Al-Oqabi confirms that «the Committee has the ability to know the details of quantities issued by the region, by relying on statistics of major regulatory companies, and the data of the Federal Ministry of Oil, note that the region still refrains from handing Baghdad any barrel of oil from its share in the budget, the problem is that it does not provide "No explanation."
Regarding the reports about the determination of some political parties and blocs to tighten up with the Kurdistan region's financial share in the 2020 budget, Al-Oqabi points out that «the oil committee will not bargain or compliment this time, and the region must deliver its assessed share of oil, and if it proves that it exports more than 250 thousand "We will ask him to hand over all the oil revenues he already exports."
The Oil Minister Thamer Abbas Ghadban, announced earlier this month that the region does not deliver its share of oil to Baghdad; but confirmed the existence of «serious talks reached advanced stages» between the federal government and the regional government, on the organization of production and export in the region, in coordination with the federal government He expressed his hope to «reach a unified policies and plans, to be a major role for the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company (SOMO) with regard to the process of export regulation; so as to maximize financial resources, and help Iraq in adhering to its share as agreed in the agreement with OPEC countries ) And beyond. ”
These days are active calls a few preceding the start of discussion of the draft budget law for 2020, and requests to the Federal Bureau of Financial Supervision to audit the number of employees of the Kurdistan region, and to know the true amount of oil exported by the region. The first deputy speaker of parliament, Hassan al-Kaabi, last week, a letter to the Federal Bureau of Financial Supervision, requesting to check the numbers of employees of the Kurdistan region, who are paid «allowance compensation of employees from the federal budget».
While parliamentary trends in Baghdad accuse Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi of leniency with the Kurdistan region in the issue of refraining from delivering his share of oil, Kurdish trends accuse some Arab political forces of seeking to sabotage the relationship between Erbil and Baghdad. KDP member Imad Baglan said: "The parties are known to all, the first of which (Al-Nasr) is trying to cover up its failure in governing by obstructing the agreements between Baghdad and Erbil, so as not to count as a positive point for the government of Abdul-Mahdi." He added in statements that «relations between the federal government and the regional government have come a long way, and achieve a rapprochement between the parties, and this does not appeal to the blocs and political parties that do not want to leave these files at this particular time», describing the recent actions of the Federal Parliament as «attempts to undermine the authority of Kurdistan On oil before approving the budget ». Paghlan insists that "the follow-up of oil is the prerogative of the government and not the parliament, which comes after the agreement between the two governments to make his position or object in case there are gaps, but now he has no right to intervene.

9-24-2019   Intel/Newshound Guru sandyf   ...There is a lot of confusion over co-existence. Initially dual pricing will come into effect where both currencies are accepted in retail outlets. This will only happen for so long, possibly about a year. thereafter the old currency can only be exchanged at designated banks, that is where the 10 years would come in.  Internationally it is a different ball game all together. A country can only have one national currency and international banks will only exchange the national currency. The day a redenomination takes place the IQD will no longer be the national currency.  As I have said before as far as redenomination goes, Iraq faces an extremely complex problem with regards to the amount of currency outside the country, something that no other country that has redenominated has had to deal with.
9-23-2019   Newshound Guru Adam Montana   ...I have seen a major opportunity in the value of the Iraqi Dinar for a long time. Many of you do as well. As a community we have weathered a lot of delays, but that doesn’t take away from the potential.  The Dinar is going to raise in value. It’s simply a matter of “when” and “how much”.

It’s going to happen quickly when it does...

9-23-2019   Newshound Guru Jeff    ...Iraq just shifted gears on you...they have to have a permanent completed formed government without proxy positions...the Education Minister has to be voted in and then as of this morning the news is telling you that "temporary" does not mean "stability".  They have to get rid of the temporary proxy positions during the month of October...basically they're telling you they have a drop dead date of October 24th...this throws a curve-ball into things...
 
9-22-2019 Intel Guru RayRen98 Even though it's Sunday and MOST banks are closed up tight today...Some exchangers did report to their respective exchange center locations and have been working "on location" for seven straight days now, hmmmmmm? A bank in Virginia was reported having a full parking lot and armed security officers escorting people to their cars as they exited the bank.
