___April 26th - May 1st ...__
On Tuesday, April 26th, until Sunday, May 1st, Iraq's parliament will hopefully pass important economic/political laws that will move the country forward in a very positive way.


The great news posted today stating that Iraq has agreed to use IMF funds to pay off all debt files is one of the most important pieces of information so far.

Remember for Iraq to become a member of the WTO, they need to pay off all debts. And .. for Iraq to be recognized internationally, they need to have a tradeable currency.

Also, as mentioned, Shabibi's trip to Washington last week included more than the conference with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (U.S. and Iraq Business Initiative). His visit also included a meeting with the IMF. It would appear that the IMF and Iraq may have signed an agreement regarding the value of Iraq's currency. It would seem logical that a rate was set in order to pay off the Paris Club debts. Not sure if that was the case (this is iraq:).

Also, a report is expected to be issued to the UN Security Council by May 1st regarding the protection of Iraq's funds abroad.*** Before May ~ Iraq, UN, IMF: UN report to be submitted ~ Iraq will use IMF funds to close the file of debt ~ June 30th ends protection of funds

Tomorrow, Tuesday, Parliament will discuss the Bill about U.S. troop withdrawal. This is a major step and if you remember it was stipulated that Iraq must be able to handle their own security.
