Article “Can Iraq pay salaries after the collapse in oil prices? The government adviser answers” Well not at the current rate that their money is.  That wouldn’t quite work.  But is it creating a perfect storm with these lower oil prices to raise a currency value to be able to continue to pay the salaries? Reducing expenses that’s only gonna go so far. They’re gonna need to do something different like reinstate their currency which would change the value IMO. Which would cover their salaries. It’s like things are coming to a head IMO.
