MadDScout (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Parliament will vote on the federal budget for 2017” This is the after report on the vote in parliament. This is just a way different budget (IMO) than we have seen in budgets of the past. None of them had the kind of “Activate the private sector” talk that seems to be a part of this one. Especially if you know that, what we as investors are waiting on is the activation in full of all reforms. Many of these are in various states of completion. Some being done, some waiting on certain parameters to be met ( i.e. budget vote? Complete GOI? <<(IMO)) With the signing off agency being the IMF. So for those who feel this can drag on just remember, they are being directed and guided by IMF and for IMF to sign off, they need accomplish those things stipulated.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Parliamentary Finance: most of the banks in Iraq do not apply the principle of “know your customer” Changing CBI governors is not something we want… Each time this occurs, it weakens the currency, investor confidence, citizen confidence and slows down monetary policy. Abadi more than likely is getting guidance from the IMF and World Bank on how Allaq is doing. The fact that he is still in place tells me he is doing his job, and moving reforms along as laid out in the various agreements. The last sentence…to a World Bank document…is clear when referring to the removal of Shabibi…i will paraphrase…no matter who is the CBI governor, the plan is moving forward.

Sources to Baghdad Post: Military operations in Mosul come to end
The military operations in Mosul have come to an end, security sources told The Baghdad Post.
The sources pointed out that a police reshuffle is imminent after Haider al Abadi visited the operations headquarters earlier.

BGG ~ I think this is somewhat premature. While Abadi has been saying Mosul would be liberated soon – just maybe not this soon.
