2-6-11 Dabbagh (News): 96 Trillion Dinars Federal Budget for 2011
Highlights/Thoughts
Click on the title of this posting to get the details of this article
1. The Iraqi Council of Ministers approved the the 2011 budget
2. The amount of the budget is $96.6 trillion dinars with a $15 trillion deficit
3. $30 trillion is allocated for investment expense
4. $66 trillion were dispersed for expenditures on State institutions and independent bodies
They clearly did not adjust the budget using the higher oil price as was stated in an article just a couple days back. If they did, there wouldn't be a deficit.
