Bloomberg: Iraq turns to Saudi Arabia and the International Monetary Fund to treat its ailing economy 000_17L3MJ












Highlighted a report told Bloomberg the US, highlighted the efforts of Iraq 's efforts to address the acute crisis plaguing the country 's economy, as a result of falling oil prices and exacerbate infections Corona emerging.


The report, published on Wednesday, indicated that Al-Aqq is in talks with the International Monetary Fund to obtain a loan, while seeking to attract Saudi investments to its natural gas fields.


The report quoted Iraqi Finance Minister Ali Allawi as saying that the International Monetary Fund and Iraq are conducting "intensive" negotiations on a loan that could reach a maximum of $ 5 billion. But he did not specify, in an interview in Baghdad on Tuesday evening, additional details about the nature of the loan:


"There is no official proposal from the Iraqi government and there is no official response from the International Monetary Fund, but we are moving in this direction."


Allawi said that the Iraqi government also suggested that the Saudis put money in a crutch gas field in the west of the country or Mansourieh in the east. Allawi said that they can also invest in extracting gas from Ratawi's oil stocks in the south.


Allawi added that "Saudi Arabia is very ready to support our energy projects. At the end of the day, they will choose one field. They are also interested in solar energy."


It is noteworthy that Allawi had made a tour to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait in late May, and observers ruled out that Iraq would receive financial support from Kuwait, or perhaps alleviate the burden of its debts owed to Kuwait, which amounted to about $ 2 billion in compensation for the 1990-1991 Gulf War.


The IMF and Saudi Arabia talks come at a time when Iraq is trying to support its financial resources. Allawi said that the economy will likely shrink from 7 percent to 9 percent in 2020. This is more than the expectations of the International Monetary Fund by 4.7 percent.
 
Riyadh is pressing Iraq to cut oil production sharply to meet its share in OPEC, placing more pressure on Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kazemi, who came to power in May.


Baghdad had initially refused to limit production, like other OPEC members, but retreated after intense pressure from Saudi Arabia and Russia.


Allawi said that Iraq’s monthly oil revenues are about 2.7 billion dollars. This is less than the $ 7 billion Iraq earned in 2019. The budget deficit will reach 22 percent of GDP this year, which is higher than anywhere else in the Middle East and North Africa, according to the International Monetary Fund. 


Allawi ruled out that the Iraqi government would resort to issuing new Eurobonds to finance the gap, arguing that it was too expensive.


And yields of Iraqi bonds, worth a billion dollars, fell about 60 basis points on Wednesday, after news of a possible International Monetary Fund loan. And the interest rate of these bonds is estimated at 10 percent, which is the highest of any issuer of Eurobonds in the Middle East, with the exception of the defaulting Lebanon. 


Iraqi Finance Minister Ali Allawi said, "We are not ready to pay 10 percent" interest on new bonds in Iraq.

GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL: AL-KAZEMI WILL HEAD TO SAUDI ARABIA AFTER CONSULTATIONS WITH ZARIF

Bloomberg: Iraq turns to Saudi Arabia and the International Monetary Fund to treat its ailing economy 3A6BA6BA-A7A2-44A8-8B35-B410A2CC41B7-1005x640










Baghdad / National News Center -
A government official said today, Saturday, that the Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi’s visit to Saudi Arabia and Iran is “an attempt to achieve a balance in relations”, while he indicated that Al-Kazemi will receive the Iranian Foreign Minister, Jawad Zarif, before heading to Riyadh to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.


"Al-Kazemi will visit Saudi Arabia and Iran, respectively, next week, in an attempt to strike a balance in relations with the regional rivals during his first foreign trip since taking office," a government official told AFP.

Baghdad has often found itself caught in a tug of war between Riyadh and Tehran, and even Washington, which Al-Kazemi is also scheduled to visit later this month.

The government official indicated that "the Iraqi Prime Minister will receive on Sunday in Baghdad, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, before heading the next day to Saudi Arabia at the head of a delegation that includes the ministers of oil, electricity, planning and finance."

Al-Kazemi is supposed to meet the Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, with whom he has a "close relationship."

It is scheduled that Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will arrive on Sunday to the capital Baghdad to meet a number of Iraqi officials, after which he will visit the city of Arbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Region, to meet the President of the region, Nechirvan Barzani, and Prime Minister Masrour Barzani.

Iraq had proposed to Saudi Arabia early this month a package of development opportunities that focus on energy, so it is expected that the talks between the two parties will focus on financing these proposals and other infrastructure projects, as well as reopening the Arar border crossing between the two countries.

The delegation is scheduled to travel directly to Tehran on Tuesday evening, where Al-Kazemi will meet the Supreme Leader of the Iranian Republic, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Al-Kazemi took over as prime minister in May after holding the position of head of the intelligence service for nearly four years, which helped him to form diverse relationships.

In addition to his friendship with the Saudi crown prince, Al-Kazemi also has good relations with Iranian intelligence services and government departments in the country, which could make him, according to observers, a mediator between the two regional rivals.

According to Agence France-Presse, Al-Kazemi is also loved in Washington, which he will visit soon to pursue the strategic dialogue between Iraq and the United States. It will be the first time that an Iraqi prime minister has visited the White House in three years.

American officials did not extend an invitation to former Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi, whom they considered very close to Iran.

Saudi Arabia is from the Arab and Islamic heritage in addition to the natural resources of crude oil and other minerals of gold, phosphates and uranium, as well as the geographical location that oversees the most important outlets for international oil trade for the Middle East countries producing the main crude oil (Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates) .




The vision of 2030 culminated in a long struggle after the Kingdom's endeavor to build its national economy, and start to exploit its natural resources, especially crude oil, since the era of the late King Abdulaziz Al Saud and the beginnings were in 1933 when Concession to the Californian Arabian Standard Oil Company (CASOC) was established and after A short period of time large reserves were discovered in eastern Saudi Arabia in 1938.

Roosevelt) in 1943 to define the broad lines linking the United States of America with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and considered them the main ally in the Middle East, and in In 1944 the name of the mentioned company was changed to the Arabian American Oil Company (ARAMCO).

I don't see it like you jayzze !! I see a prime minister who does what the other prime ministers have not done since 2003, either close the borders to control entry and exit from the country, or what the un asks, so I see that the first Minister seeks to open the market with the others of the GCC, and Iraq has been seeking to join this group for several years to find their statue of oil exporter, and support by Kuwait for example, here is an example in 2012

The Gulf Cooperation Council is an Arab regional organization made up of six member states overlooking the Arabian Gulf: the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the Sultanate of Oman, Qatar and Kuwait, and it was established in 1981, and Iraq, Yemen, Jordan and Morocco are also candidate countries for obtaining full membership of the Council, as Iraq and Yemen each have membership. Some of the council's committees, such as sports, health, and culture.

Kuwait’s invitation to Iraq’s joining the Gulf Cooperation Council comes about eight days after the visit of the son of the Emir of Kuwait and Minister of Amiri Diwan Affairs Nasser Sabah Al-Ahmad, who was to Sulaymaniyah on April 19, 2012, during which he revealed the existence of a Kuwaiti tendency to partner with Iraq within a regional system for the northern Gulf states While noting that his country aims, through this system, to diversify its economy so that it does not depend entirely on oil.

This Kuwaiti trend in a future partnership with Iraq that includes forming a system for the northern Gulf states is the first of its kind since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime on April 9, 2003, and represents an indication of progress in relations between the two countries.

The Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, participated in the work of the Arab summit conference in Baghdad on (March 29, 2012), in a visit described as historic, being the first for the Emir of Kuwait since the Iraqi occupation of the Gulf emirate in August 1990.

Common foundations and frameworks for resolving all files, within short timetables, while Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, who accompanied al-Maliki on his visit, considered that what was agreed upon is a major progress with regard to Iraq's exit from Chapter VII.

It is noteworthy that, since 1990, Iraq has been subject to Article Seven of the United Nations Charter, which was imposed upon it after the regime of former President Saddam Hussein invaded the State of Kuwait in August of the same year. This clause allows for the use of force against Iraq as it constitutes a threat to international security, in addition to freezing large sums of money. His financial assets are in international banks to pay compensation for those affected by the invasion.

Another thing also what is happening now, and what we will know next week is the meeting between the top leaders of the Kurdish, and according to what they mention everything should be settled between them during this meeting as the article 140, and also ask the un to settle their difference, and we see that the Prime Minister moves more on this than the former Prime Minister of the time, and the Prime Minister has a meeting with President Trump on August 20 and 21, 2020, and the meeting will not be delayed under any circumstances, another good sign of his progress on the files for the Iraqi Prime Minister

Iraq is negotiating with Saudi Arabia and U.S. firm Honeywell over a multi-faceted deal that would involve the development of the Ratawi oil field, the construction of a gas processing hub, and new electricity generation, according to two officials familiar with the details.
If it goes forward, the project would give Saudi Arabia its first major investment in Iraq's energy sector, at an oil field just 100 kilometers from the Iranian border, and it would help Iraq reduce its dependence on Iran for gas and electricity – a key condition the Trump administration has articulated for extending a sanctions waiver that expires in September.

The new deal for Ratawi would put a final nail in the coffin of the Southern Iraq Integrated Project (SIIP), which Iraq had been negotiating for several years with ExxonMobil and the China National Petroleum Corp. The proposed scope of SIIP was even bigger than the Ratawi deal, involving not only upstream field development and associated gas processing, but also the construction of new oil export infrastructure and a network of pipelines to feed southern oil fields with water that is needed to support underground reservoir pressure and boost crude production. The Iraqi government gave the project notional approval in May 2019, but negotiations were hampered by disagreements over the finer points of the financial terms. The Oil Ministry had already been facing political headwinds, which grew even stronger when the U.S. killed Qassim Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Mohandis in January, aggravating a rift in the Iraq-U.S. relationship that presented major risks for the the country's economy and investment climate. The SIIP project has not been the subject of serious negotiations since.

The U.S. government is also paving the way for a new oil deal in Syria. As Amberin Zaman reports in Al-Monitor, a company named Delta Crescent Energy has recently signed a deal with the Kurdish-led autonomous government in northern Syria to develop oil fields under their control. The Trump administration appears to support the deal: Delta Crescent has received a waiver from the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC), which is necessary due to sanctions against Syria.

Who is behind Delta Crescent? Multiple people with first-hand knowledge of the deal have confirmed to Iraq Oil Report that Delta Crescent's leadership team includes three men: John Dorrier, Jim Reese, and James Cain. Dorrier is the founder and former chief executive of Gulfsands Petroleum, which was unsuccessful in gaining a foothold in Iraq but had a contract in northeast Syria until it had to stop operations to comply with EU sanctions against the Assad regime. Cain is a lawyer with U.S. law firm Kilpatrick Townshend, which he rejoined following a four year stint as U.S. ambassador to Denmark. He appears to be instrumental in securing political support in Washington. Reese is the founder of the security firm TigerSwan, which has held contracts in Iraq and also gained notoriety for its work in the U.S., where it participated in crackdowns on protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline. Reese has been a vocal advocate of a strong American military presence in Syria. "We own the whole eastern part of Syria," he told Fox News in 2018. "That's ours. We can't give that up."

But where will the oil go? It’s unlikely the Trump administration would approve a deal to sell crude to the Assad regime. Turkey is also an unlikely buyer, as President Recep Tayyip Erdogan considers the autonomous administration in Syria to be coextensive with the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), a designated terrorist organization. That leaves one possible outlet: Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government. Iraq Oil Report has detailed an oil and fuel trade across the Iraq-Syria border worth tens of millions of dollars per month, dating back to at least 2014.

Prime Minsiter Mustafa al-Kadhimi's anti-corruption campaign is extending to Basra's Um Qasr Port, a key logistics chokepoint for the oil industry. In an apparent effort to crack down on paramilitary groups that are profiteering from their control over Iraqi border points, Kadhimi has visited both Um Qasr and a land crossing with Iran in Diyala province in recent weeks, and also ordered the elite Counter-Terrorism Service to deploy to the al-Qaim border crossing with Syria in Anbar. The campaign is likely to meet resistance from the web of powerful and violent actors that stand to lose a major revenue stream. Read the full story in Iraq Oil Report.

Iraq's dilapidated power grid is one big reason behind the government's failure to provide 24-hour electricity, which has imposed acute suffering on Iraqis recently as temperatures have risen above 50 degrees Celsius. Ali Al-Saffar of the International Energy Agency (IEA) explains how, despite the allocation of around $20 billion to capital investments in the electricity sector since 2012, just a fraction of the additional gigawatts generated reach homes and businesses. The rest are eaten up in inefficient, poorly-maintained power stations and transmission networks. He also provides possible solutions: on the supply side, authorities could direct government-owned generators to supply electricity to the grid, and make sure that all available capacity is in operation. Already this month, officials in Basra have struck deals with international oil companies to use spare generation capacity at fields they manage to feed the national grid. And on the demand side, consumers could be encouraged into using less power through tariffs and meters, and through subsidies on the most efficient cooling units. Whatever measures are taken, they need to happen soon, as Iraq’s growing population means power demand will only continue to rise.

National News




Kadhimi has set a target date for Iraq's next national elections. If all goes according to plan, Iraqis will go to the polls on June 6, 2021, a full year before the legal deadline. Kadhimi took office vowing to press for early elections, but it's not just up to him. The election date needs to be approved by Parliament, whose members would effectively be voting for an early end to their terms and the perks of office they enjoy.
The announcement may have been an indirect attempt to quell public outrage that has risen in response to both failing government services and a recent crackdown on protesters in Baghdad's Tahrir Square. Two protestors were killed by security forces last Sunday – the first demonstrators to be killed under Kadhimi’s watch. The prime minister has promised a thorough investigation into the deaths, but previous inquiries into similar killings have not resulted in accountability.
The broader protest movement has been animated largely by opposition to an Iraqi political class that profits from a system of corruption. Writing for the New York Times Magazine, Robert F. Worth investigates the inner-workings of Iraq's kleptocracy, including a detailed explanation of a major cash cow for several political parties: the Central Bank of Iraq's dollar auctions.

Interview of the Week

Hisham Daoud, an advisor to the prime minister, discussed the government’s economic and political strategy in a wide-ranging July 24 interview with the U.S.-funded al-Hurra television channel. Daoud defended the Kadhemi government’s policies, while also acknowledging the depth of the challenges it faces. Daoud described Kadhemi’s goal as bridging divides:
The political forces that have ruled Iraq since 2003 made an art of dividing society. The mission now is to unite what was fragmented and divided, but through a clear dynamic. A dynamic that upholds the legitimacy of the state, the legitimacy of the state in the use of weapons, in obedience to the law, support for putting people in the right places. But we know the balances of power here and there. The choices are, are we heading towards conflict or towards uniting people as much as possible in a common current and a common dynamic. The more we can reduce the margin of conflict, the more we can save the Iraqi people from bloodshed, material losses, and suffering.

Daoud discussed Kadhimi's recent trip to Iran and his outreach to Saudi Arabia, framing both as part of a strategy of building up Iraq’s economy and promoting its sovereignty and independence:
Developing economic relations with Iran will be a positive thing. I believe that once there are advanced economic relations between the two countries, the economic language will become dominant, and the political and military language will decline. But this depends on Iraq's capabilities... however much we develop Iraq's economy, that will give us a bigger margin in dealing with our needs with regards to other states in the region and in the world.

Daoud’s remarks indicate that the Kadhimi administration seeks to diversify Iraq’s economy away from oil and build economic bridges to other countries while avoiding political entanglements. However, the present coronavirus-induced economic crisis, and the Kadhimi government’s own commitment to holding elections next year, may mean it lacks the necessary tools to bring about such a transformation – and can at best hope to make a modest start in changing the country’s economic direction.

Economy News - Baghdad



The Iraqi ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Qahtan al-Janabi, revealed, on Monday, that there are bilateral consultations between Riyadh and Baghdad to facilitate the movement of people between the two countries, and the imminent opening of a new land crossing.

The Saudi newspaper "Okaz" quoted Al-Janabi as saying that "Iraq and Saudi Arabia are discussing the abolition of entry visas for diplomatic passport holders, and the abolition of visa fees for regular passport holders, to facilitate the movement of citizens between the two countries."

He referred to the expected economic return on this matter. Stating that the opening of the "Jadidat Arar" land crossing will cause an economic leap for the city of Arar and the nearby cities on the Saudi side, as well as in Anbar Governorate and Al-Nukhayb city.

Al-Janabi described the bilateral relations between Riyadh and Baghdad as "a product of religious, clan, and cultural common denominators between the two brotherly countries, and that there is a complete agreement of visions between the leaderships of the two countries."

He stressed that "King Salman bin Abdulaziz and his crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, are keen to support the policy of openness towards Iraq."

He pointed out that "there is close cooperation between the Iraqi security services and their Saudi counterparts to prevent infiltration and smuggling activity and criminal gangs, and this has achieved great stability and security of the vast land borders," stressing that "cooperation between the security services in both countries is continuous, steady and constructive cooperation."

Last July, the two countries signed several joint agreements within the Coordinating Council between them. Areas include investment, energy, education and health.

It is scheduled that the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mustafa Al-Kazemi, will make a visit to Saudi Arabia, which was previously postponed due to the hospitalization of the Saudi monarch.
