Samson: Member of the Finance Committee: The 2021 budget will be passed without a deficit in this case 31st July, 2021   LINK
ATPInfinity: GREAT NEWS HERE!! The 2021 budget will be passed OR RATHER, COMPLETED,( its implementation ) without a deficit..(DUE TO $70 OIL!) Our situation is economically secure (S+S=RI)
Ryan1216: Great but I thought the 2021 budget was already passed.
Dotalktome: There are riders on budget
DeepWoodz: IMO First, let’s not forget these guys fixed the price of oil at what $43-$45 in the budget. Now it’s at $75. They always act like they are broke. Doesn’t matter how high it gets, they will talk it down.
On the translation of passed. We all know they passed the budget months ago and as Godlover likes to point out, we have never “heard” them talk of opening it. Hmmm...I still don’t know about that.
This article appears to use passed as in go beyond the 2021 to the 2022 budget which will be on the agenda for the NEW and hopefully improved Parliament after 10/10 as they have stated they will NOT postpone the elections.
I don’t pick dates, but for Iraq’s best interest, it would make sense that IF Kadhimi plans on running, and I believe he will because he is a patriot, the rate has been raised as per boss man F26 and will definitely be revealed to the international community well in advance of the elections to insure a second term for Special K.
Peace out
