2nd reading tomorrow.

Meetings are taking place today between the Finance committee and the MoO to prepare for a second reading of the budget amendment in Parliament tomorrow. Interestingly there's no mention of Abdul Ghani himself being involved, hopefully Sudani has had him sidelined.

Fingers crossed.

Today - Iraqi Parliament debates: second reading for Iraqi total budget on Dec. 2, 2024.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan 24) – It is decided to arrange a meeting tomorrow, Monday, December 2nd, 2024, to carry out the second reading for the Total Budget in Iraqi parliament debate, as the Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament, Shakhawan Abdulla, exclusively, stated to Kurdistan 24, on Sunday.

The 2nd reading of the Budget Law is back on the agenda.



An hour ago - Iraq's Parliamentary Finance Committee to discuss amending Budget Law.

Shafaq News/ Iraq’s Parliamentary Finance Committee is set to discuss amendments to the country's public budget law in the coming days, with officials from both the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).

Faisal Al-Naili, a member of the committee, told Shafaq News that the committee would hold a meeting soon to discuss the proposed changes to the budget law. “Following the meeting, several officials from the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Oil, as well as KRG representatives, will be invited to attend discussions.”

Al-Naili explained that after reviewing the amendments and hearing from officials, a date for the second reading of the law will be set.

In late November, the committee examined the draft of the first amendment to the federal budget law for 2023-2025 (No. 13 of 2023).

Atwan Al-Attwani, head of the committee, stressed the importance of these laws, noting the formation of a committee to assess and monitor revenue distribution to achieve sustainable development.

The committee also reviewed provisions of the First Amendment to the law on the export of oil in the Kurdistan Region, stressing the importance of refining the law to meet the required objectives, including the collection of detailed data and figures.

Additionally, the committee discussed the proposed amendment to the Federal Revenue Allocation Monitoring Authority Law (No. 55 of 2017).

The Iraqi parliament approved the 2023-2025 budget law in June of last year, with a total value of 197.828 trillion Iraqi dinars ($152.2 billion) for 2023, and a budget deficit of 64.36 trillion dinars ($49 billion).

Dec. 1, 2024
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – The Iraqi Parliament is set to convene on Sunday in order to vote on three legislations, among them the controversial Personal Status Law. The other two laws that are scheduled for vote are the General Amnesty Law and Land Restitution Law.
On Sunday, the Iraqi Parliament Media Office issued a statement saying, “At 1:00 PM this afternoon, the parliamentary session will be convened to vote on several key draft laws.”
These draft laws are the following:
- Amendment to Personal Status Law No. 188 of 1959.
- Land Restitution Law which returns the lands occupied by the overthrown Baath regime to their rightful owners.
- The General Amnesty Law No. 27 of 2016.
According to the reports, several other draft laws will also be discussed, including the second reading of the Civil Aviation Law of Iraq as well as the second reading of the Industrial Complex draft law.
All three draft laws are heavily contentious, albeit the case for the amendment to the Personal Status Law has garnered more criticism both locally and internationally.

Sounds like KARMA is paying the ICG a visit.

About time and I hope APIKUR sue the hell out of these bar stewards for all the issues they have caused us over the years.

[kevc67] 30/11/2024 12:09

Kind of what I was alluding to last night! Think US are leaning on ICG.

Show 🇨🇳 the 🚪.
👋👋

[steephill cove] 30/11/2024 08:56

Nobody puts APIKUR in a corner! 💃🕺 👏

The ICG have merely backed themselves into one of their own making ✅ 👍

[steephill cove] 30/11/2024 08:52

Oh & theres the additional fact that the ICG being problematic with the existing Kurdish pipeline to Turkey has already cost them close to $24 Billion.

Just chump change right? 😭

If Hormuz goes, the ICGs whole income goes if there’s no alternative Northern Route out of Iraq.

Game on! ✅

[steephill cove] 30/11/2024 08:36

The ICG cant wait. BP want a route to market from Kirkuk through Kurdistan by February & the ICG need an export route away from Hormuz.

Trump 🇺🇸 is in place in January & Iran 🇮🇷 tried to assassinate him.

Israel 🇮🇱 was peppered with Iranian 🇮🇷 missiles

Clocks ticking ⏰⏳

[milliecusto] 30/11/2024 08:25

That might take a while, agreement of monies owed

[highlander7] 30/11/2024 04:15

The ICG isnt out of the woods just yet either....APIKUR are digging their heels in as predicted.

Zoom News@zoomnewskrd

APIKUR Spokesperson Myles Caggins, in an exclusive interview with Zoom News, welcomed Iraq’s decision to amend the Budget Law to resolve the Kurdistan oil export deadlock. He stressed the importance of a written agreement ensuring past and future payments to oil companies operating in the Kurdistan Region oil fields before exports can resume, pending final approval of the law.
