💰 BREAKING: Iraq Confirms 2026 Salaries Are Fully Funded – But Don’t Fall for the Political Spin ⚠️

Here’s what Baghdad is saying — and what’s really going on behind the scenes.

🔍 OFFICIAL STORY (aka Political Nonsense)

🎙️ “2026 salaries are fully insured.”
That’s the latest statement from Mazhar Muhammad Saleh, the PM’s financial advisor.

He claims all employee, retiree, and social care payments are guaranteed — and any talk otherwise is just “confusion.”

Same story from Parliament’s Finance Committee — delays were “technical,” not financial.

😒 REALITY CHECK: It’s All Politics

Did you read the fine print?

💥 Salaries weren’t delayed due to “technical issues” — they were held back during negotiations over Kurdistan’s oil exports.

Baghdad used salaries as leverage.

They’re not fooling anyone.

💬 Also: The 2026 budget has been in the works since July, and they’ve already decided to roll over the 2025 projects.
Why? 👉 No funding. No oil. No RV rate in 2025 budget.

I’ve said this a million times — stop believing guru nonsense about hidden rates in the budget. There’s NO RV in the 2025 tables. Period.

✅ What IS Lined Up for 2026?

🗓️ Budget will be submitted after the Iraqi elections.
🛢️ They need Kurdistan’s oil revenue flowing again.
💱 January 2026 is shaping up to be a prime window for a new FOREX rate launch — if the political and financial groundwork is finally secure.

📊 85% of Iraq’s economy depends on government spending. If the budget is delayed — everything stalls.
