The purpose of the visit of the delegation of the Kurdistan Region to Baghdad

The negotiating delegation of the Kurdistan Regional Government is scheduled to visit Baghdad this afternoon to meet with the Ministry of Finance in the federal government.
Khaled Shwani, a member of the negotiating delegation of the Kurdistan Regional Government, said that the delegation of the region will visit Baghdad this afternoon, Monday, to meet with the Federal Ministry of Finance.
He added that the aim of the visit is to determine the mechanism for implementing the agreement between Baghdad and the region and efforts to send the share of the Kurdistan Region according to the budget law.
And the budget law has already been approved since May of this year, but the share of the Kurdistan region has not been sent so far, according to,.

KRG SAYS WILL SEND OIL, NON-OIL INCOME TO BAGHDAD THIS WEEK
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Spokesperson Jotiar Adil said on Sunday (June 6) that the KRG plans to send oil and a portion of its non-oil income to Baghdad this week, potentially resolving an impasse over implementation of the federal budget.
Adil said during a press conference that he hopes Baghdad will reciprocate and send budget transfers to the Kurdistan Region in the near future.
Regarding public sector workers’ salaries, he said, the KRG will pay workers once every month under the framework of the reform law, but did not address longstanding cuts.
Under the 2021 Federal Budget Law, which passed on March 31, the KRG is supposed to receive 9.5 trillion Iraqi dinars ($6.5 billion) from the budget, which will be disbursed in monthly increments, in return for submitting 250,000 barrels of crude oil per day to Iraq's oil marketer SOMO for export and a portion of the income derived from customs duties at international border crossings with Iran and Turkey.
Those budget transfers would theoretically enable the KRG to pay full public sector salaries. For more than a year it has either not paid public servants or cut their salaries by nearly a quarter, leading to widespread frustration among the Region’s middle class.
The value of the Iraqi dinar continues to decline .. government steps to save it and expectations of high market prices
The exchange rates of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar rose, on Sunday, to record levels, reaching 1525 dinars against the dollar in the local markets, despite the government's assurances that it would continue to follow the exchange rates to maintain the price of the dollar.
Today, the exchange shops traded the price of the dollar at $1525 per dollar, in a new decline in the value of the Iraqi dinar, a price the dollar has not reached for nearly 14 years, while government sources talked about future steps with the aim of controlling the price of the local market.
A government official said in an interview with "Mawazine News" that "the rise of the dollar is a result of market speculation and rumors of a new price rise, and this type made the citizen in a state of confusion because of hoarding the dollar in the homes, in addition to the transfer of money from the dinar to the dollar by many."
And another official on the government's measures adds, "The central bank will follow a plan in the coming days, to suspend the license of money exchange shops that manipulate the price, in addition to forming price control committees."
He pointed out, "The government's policy is clear, which is to maintain the price of the dollar, and what is happening is not a dollar shortage crisis, but rather speculation in the market only."
The prices of consumables have risen in the Iraqi market, for example, mobile recharge cards, some stores, have raised their price. Dealers are also talking about the imminent rise in consumer prices, and this will reduce the purchasing value of citizens.
Marwan Jassem, a food trader in Jamila, told Mawazine News, "The market price is linked to the dollar, and today there is an inflation of the dollar issue, so we find that some traders anticipate any government step and raise the price of their materials."
Finance holds a new meeting to discuss the budget for the next three years
The Ministry of Finance held, on Monday, its tenth meeting of the committee for preparing the federal general budget strategy for the medium term 2022-2024.

Finance Minister Ali Allawi, who chaired the meeting, said, "The interest in the education sectors of all kinds and levels, and the provision of a supportive and stimulating environment for upgrading the educational level, will be among the priorities of the future budget strategy."
Allawi stressed the need to pay attention to the education sectors and to discuss the challenges and difficulties facing the implementation of the projects of the two sectors and ways to address them within the available financial resources and find solutions to address the delay in vital projects in the educational sector.
The minister added that the long-term goals will continue to be linked with future budgets to provide tools and procedures for preparation for financial departments and to prioritize activities to achieve the strategic objectives of the projects in proportion to the country's financial revenues.

West Texas Intermediate crude touched The US dollar for July reached $70 for the first time since October 2018, but fell to $69.34 a barrel, down 27 cents, or 0.39%.
Analysts expect global oil demand to exceed supplies in the second half despite the gradual easing of supply cuts by OPEC+ producers.

6-6-2021 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready Question: [...when do you think the RV will happen?] I think it will happen when everyone thinks it is safe to do so. I could hope for next week, but we will have to see.
6-6-2021 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I have stated it numerous times Iraq will never significantly overnight RV their currency that is not how monetary policy works. Only with the growth of the economy can the dinar go up in value. Iraq has lots of work to do. They need to pass laws encourage foreign investment and create a thriving private sector. Only then will the Central Bank float the dinar and allow it to gradually increase overtime. There is no overnight lottery ticket.
6-6-2021 Intel Guru Holly Sunday RV News: Yesterday was quiet, however things are still getting done. Whales are still be processed and paid even though it is the weekend it still happens. There is a push to complete the bonds this week. Once this is done the RV side of things will begin. It’s frustrating and a very complicated process but progress is being made. This is a transition not a transaction! Never, ever give up!
6-6-2021 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready Question: [Seems that all of these countries are talk about their future digitized currency. That’s all great but we’re still holding onto Fiat currencies from several countries.. when are they planning on having us send these paper notes to them?] I think any country that terminates a currency has to give you a couple of years to cash out. Most countries will probably just cut back on printed currency, and let attrition happen naturally.
6-6-2021 Intel Guru Frank26 the World Bank knows that both of your reforms economic and monetary (but monetary being first) are tied together and the Kurds were the key for your budget that will launch these reforms. They are explaining that the only way your economic reforms will prosper is when and only when the CBI raises the value of your currency through your exchange rate. The World Bank is telling the world it is illogical for Iraq to have a low rate for their currency right now...they need to do something about the exchange rate because...the poverty rate of Iraqi citizens is horrible. They tell the CBI/GOI you're a sovereign country and you can now lift the value...
6-6-2021 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan My view, is with the massive amount of data we have been showing in articles with links to support the view, is that they are ready and are heavily pressured to go to a market economy... my view is I expect a strong ( like never seen before, as noted on Iraq TV.) international rate to be gamed off the devaluation with the help of the local bankers and traders who are fully aware of what is going to happen next. We have data that supports them saying so...Let’s see what they do next!

Report: Iraq's economy may collapse in front of transformations06 Jun 2021
Baghdad-ALSharqiya, June 6: An international report warned four countries, including Iraq, that they will be among the most exposed to the risks of declining revenues as a result of the transition to clean energy during the current decade.
The energy research company Rystad Energy said that the revenues of oil and gas producing countries will be dealt a severe blow with the process of energy transition imposed by the climate change crisis, amid warnings of potential risks unless these countries accelerate to diversify their economies, indicating that the fuel-dependent economies represent nearly a third of the world's population. It is responsible for one fifth of greenhouse gas emissions. The report pointed out that Algeria, Iraq, Kuwait and Libya are the most exposed to the risks of declining revenues as a result of the energy transition, with the fact that half of government revenues from this sector are at risk.

6-6-2021 Newshound Guru Kaperoni I have stated it numerous times Iraq will never significantly overnight RV their currency that is not how monetary policy works. Only with the growth of the economy can the dinar go up in value. Iraq has lots of work to do. They need to pass laws encourage foreign investment and create a thriving private sector. Only then will the Central Bank float the dinar and allow it to gradually increase overtime. There is no overnight lottery ticket.
6-6-2021 Intel Guru Holly Sunday RV News: Yesterday was quiet, however things are still getting done. Whales are still be processed and paid even though it is the weekend it still happens. There is a push to complete the bonds this week. Once this is done the RV side of things will begin. It’s frustrating and a very complicated process but progress is being made. This is a transition not a transaction! Never, ever give up!
6-6-2021 Newshound/Intel Guru RVAlready Question: [Seems that all of these countries are talk about their future digitized currency. That’s all great but we’re still holding onto Fiat currencies from several countries.. when are they planning on having us send these paper notes to them?] I think any country that terminates a currency has to give you a couple of years to cash out. Most countries will probably just cut back on printed currency, and let attrition happen naturally.
6-6-2021 Intel Guru Frank26 the World Bank knows that both of your reforms economic and monetary (but monetary being first) are tied together and the Kurds were the key for your budget that will launch these reforms. They are explaining that the only way your economic reforms will prosper is when and only when the CBI raises the value of your currency through your exchange rate. The World Bank is telling the world it is illogical for Iraq to have a low rate for their currency right now...they need to do something about the exchange rate because...the poverty rate of Iraqi citizens is horrible. They tell the CBI/GOI you're a sovereign country and you can now lift the value...
6-6-2021 Newshound Guru MilitiaMan My view, is with the massive amount of data we have been showing in articles with links to support the view, is that they are ready and are heavily pressured to go to a market economy... my view is I expect a strong ( like never seen before, as noted on Iraq TV.) international rate to be gamed off the devaluation with the help of the local bankers and traders who are fully aware of what is going to happen next. We have data that supports them saying so...Let’s see what they do next!
6-6-2021 Newshound/Intel Guru Mnt Goat Article: "ECONOMIST: THE GOVERNMENT’S JUSTIFICATIONS FOR RAISING THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE ARE FLIMSY" Quote: "...in a statement to the “Information” agency that “the currency auction did not decrease in its sales"
...the currency auctions have ended....Not according to this article.
