Sheikh it all about |
I'm in but I really can't blame anyone for being sceptical and staying on the fence. Something is long termers can't square with. Anyway too late now. Good luck all holders ! |
Either you're in or you're out, right now. |
Last chance at these levels. Step aboard |
 Shafaq News/ On Friday, the Minister of Finance in the Kurdistan Region, Awat Sheikh Janab, expressed hope for a resolution of the salaries delay issue by Sunday.In a press statement attended by Shafaq News correspondent, Janab said the atmosphere of the meeting in Baghdad was "very positive", adding, "We hope to conclude the work and fund the salaries by Sunday, February 2."The meeting, held earlier today at the residence of Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein in Baghdad, saw a delegation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), led by Sheikh Janab and comprising around 20 members.The discussions centered on the December 2024 salaries and the salary schedule for 2025.The salary crisis in the Kurdistan Region dates back to 2014, when tensions between the federal government in Baghdad and the KRG escalated over the management of oil and budget matters, compounded by the repercussions of the ISIS war, falling oil prices, and the global COVID-19 pandemic.Baghdad ceased sending its share of the budget to the region, prompting the KRG to independently export oil. This conflict led to disruptions in salary payments, initiating a cycle of delays and financial arrears.Since then, various attempts have been made to find compromises between the two sides, including financial agreements stipulating that the KRG's budget share would be paid in exchange for its commitment to export a specific amount of oil.As the dispute continues, the burden has increasingly fallen on the citizens of the region. |
Interesting that Genl have slipped today. Punters switching back to GKP perhaps? Anyway here's to Monday. Cheers. |

Yep this is the first but most important step. But the one ultimately that will get the oil flowing. In my opinion they have choreographed the vote being a success now to the point that if it doesn't go through it will be a major embarrassment to Al Sudani. I expect this time it will happen. |
scrwal. That may be very true, I'm thinking though that there's a lot more to do than just passing the budget amendment, hundreds of nuts and bolts to fit together in the negotiations about how it's going to work, who gets paid, how and what trousering opportunities there are. |

Halbusi's party will vote for the budget amendment
Ava News
The Iraqi parliament will vote on the budget amendment next Sunday.
Big picture: After several obstacles to the passage of the budget amendment, a meeting between the Iraqi prime minister and the leaders of the factions on Wednesday night reached a general understanding to pass the budget amendment.
Official statement: Haibat Halbusi, the head of the Taqadum faction, which is also the head of the Oil and Energy Committee in the Iraqi parliament, said that all members of the faction will vote on the budget amendment and resume oil exports.
Why it matters: According to the amendment to Article 12(c) of the budget law, the cost of production and transportation of Kurdistan oil will be increased from $6 to $1
What you need to know: Wednesday 29-1-2025, at the house of Mohammed Shia Sudani, Iraqi Prime Minister, in Baghdad, on the amendment of the budget law and the issue of salaries of the Kurdish people was done. |
This is going to shake up a few Middle East nations aspirations, Iran, UAE, Egypt for starters. Plus BRICS of course.
DJT last night
" The idea that the BRICS Countries are trying to move away from the Dollar, while we stand by and watch, is OVER. We are going to require a commitment from these seemingly hostile Countries that they will neither create a new BRICS Currency, nor back any other Currency to replace the mighty U.S. Dollar or, they will face 100% Tariffs, and should expect to say goodbye to selling into the wonderful U.S. Economy. They can go find another sucker Nation.
There is no chance that BRICS will replace the U.S. Dollar in International Trade, or anywhere else, and any Country that tries should say hello to Tariffs, and goodbye to America! "

Seems that a lot of high level meetings are still going on. Iraqi expectations appear to be that things will be approved on Sunday but that may not be the case as a lot still hasn't been agreed with the KRG as evidenced by these ongoing meetings. |
Thanks PJ.
Hope your well
Been expecting another share price prediction from you.
Hope the Icg Krg salaries meeting 1pm goes well.
We could tick up if so.

Financial issues
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – A high-level delegation from the Ministries of Finance of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region is set to convene for a crucial meeting at 1 PM on Friday. The discussions, hosted at the residence of Fuad Hussein, Chairman of the Iraqi Economic Council, will include key officials such as KRG’s Finance Minister Awat Janab Noori and Iraq’s Finance Minister Taif Sami.
The meeting will focus on three major financial issues:
Annual Budget Allocation: Reviewing the total revenue required by the Kurdistan Region Ministry of Finance for the 12 months of 2025 to ensure timely payment of civil servants.
Pension Separation Plan: Addressing the pension list for civil servants retiring this year at the age of 60, including the distribution of 12 months' pension payments.
Revised Balance Sheet: Finalizing a revised financial balance sheet for the past 12 months to ensure transparency and accuracy in financial planning.
These matters have been meticulously prepared by both the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and Baghdad delegations in prior discussions held in Erbil. Given the cooperative groundwork, no significant obstacles are expected at today’s meeting, and final decisions on these key issues will be made during the session.
In parallel, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani recently held a meeting with parliamentary faction leaders to discuss amendments to the national budget law. Following the discussions, Vian Sabri, head of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) faction in the Iraqi parliament, informed Kurdistan24 that a consensus was reached on passing the amendments. Notably, these amendments include provisions related to the re-export of oil, a significant step in ensuring financial stability and cooperation between Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region.
Today’s meeting is expected to reinforce the collaborative efforts between the federal and regional governments, paving the way for effective financial management and economic progress in Iraq. |
One last chance for those close to the action and in control of press releases to make an absolute fortune trading. |
