It was reported to me late Friday evening that the 2nd reading of the budget is scheduled for Saturday then on to a final vote next week, hopefully.
Mosul is being reported as "clear" and they are still awaiting PM Abadi to plant the "official" flag. Time Will Tell!!
PS - Looks like two contract rates will still be available at exchange time.....based on member reports.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR THIS EVENING!
It has been reported that PM Abadi was on Iraqi TV today visiting and inspecting Mosul. Thousands of families were seen returning to Mosul. The budget had it's second reading today. It was stated that the IMF will review with the CBI on Monday the status of the finance minister, they are confident Iraq will receive their next payment. Celebrations are happening.
Also on TV, the CBI signed a deal with the US Treasury to eliminate funding of Daesh and that article 140 is finished and ready!
