1-1-2015 *Adam Montana ~[ I've noticed that many...seem to assume that the new rate and the 2015 budget will be announced simultaneously, and that therefore the latest news of a Jan. 7th budget vote pushes the rate announcement back to that date as well. Since Gov. Shabbibi has always said that it's best that a new rate starts at the beginning of the year, how likely do you think it would be that the rate is announced announced Jan. 1st, and then the budget, with the new rate, is voted on Jan. 7th?] Unfortunately the 2 aren't "tied at the hip" and one can easily happen completely separate from the other... BUT that's not to say that what you've proposed is any less likely. Shabibi is a smart man and the things he said and did years ago will still have an impact on how Iraq moves forward... let's see how things go here in the next few days.
