Parliamentary Finance: confiscation of staff of the former regime funds to the parliament soon Act
This article talks about the former regime which typically indicates something against Saddam and his thugs.....in this case funds they may have tried to walk away with.....they are creating a law that will go after those believed guilty of financial wrongdoing....this is set for a first reading within Parliament soon it sounds like....and is devised to focus on specific people it sounds like....I just hope it hasn't all been spent.

Barzani to Ask For Article 140 Guarantee From Washington
As President Barzani prepares for an upcoming trip to Washington, it is becoming more apparent what some of his agenda will consist of upon his arrival.....stability of the region, the fight against ISIS and the retaking of Mosul along with support from the US for leaving Peshmerga troops in areas of dispute....those Article 140 areas.....after ISIS is kicked out....

Economists: the central bank deliberately raise the price of the dollar to cope with financial crisis
Well this article starts out from the perspective of an economist on how he feels about the role of the CBI in the issues over the recent rise of the USD over the IQD and you see him blaming the CBI, accusing them of deliberately causing the rise of the dollar....but then there is a suspicious slip from the economist to the Finance Committee....one has to wonder where the economist is drawing his opinion from....who provides him with "facts"....
If it is the Finance Committee since they appear within the same article....one has to wonder if the story has become tainted at that point.....because the Committee has and continues to try and place blame upon the CBI for the USD/IQD differences....failing to taste any of the egg that hangs from their own faces for what has happened as a result of Article 50 of the budget.....the blind leading the blind I am afraid.
Keywords: Iraq withdrawal worth two billion dollars from the International Monetary
Very interesting article.....Iraq has as part of its Special Drawing Rights (SDR) with the IMF 2 billion dollars...but this amount has not yet been provided by the IMF....what the IMF is considering is a loan of a lesser amount, in the neighborhood of $800 million dollars.....
The interesting part of all this is that the money would be handed over to the CBI but by law the CBI can not lend to the government....so this money would be tied up with the CBI....how would it stand to benefit the government if they can't touch it....the deficit would still exist.....could this money be used to fund some of the foreign bonds that have been discussed in recent past?
So we have a short stack this morning.....no not pancakes.....but of the news....enjoy this as we continue to hunt for that secret stash of cookies that we know Frank keeps somewhere near the blue couch....enjoy your weekend. Aloha Randy
