Iraq confirms its support and commitment to the OPEC agreement
The Ministry has released a statement to the Agency regarding press reports of increased oil exports to Iraq. According to the information, the rise in exports to certain producing countries, including Iraq, is a natural occurrence that does not affect the agreed-upon production levels of OPEC+.
The statement added that sometimes export levels increase due to a decrease in domestic consumption from one season to another. Natural conditions are one of the factors influencing the change in internal consumption rates.
The Ministry emphasized in its statement the commitment of OPEC member states and non-OPEC countries, including Iraq, to maintain the stability of global oil markets. This is to achieve the best interests of the producers, consumers, and investors while avoiding the temporary gains sought by some speculators.

He further stated that all technical details related to this mechanism have been resolved, and things are going well in this aspect. As a result, it is expected that the mechanism for enhancing balances in the UAE dirham will commence within the next few days.

The speaker also mentioned that the Singapore Development Bank is working to increase the number of banks whose balances in Chinese yuan are being enhanced.
“We have opened accounts for six Iraqi banks in our bank. In the near future, we will be adding seven more banks to finance Iraqi trade and imports from China. These imports are estimated to be worth about 12 billion dollars annually.”
According to a source, a number of Iraqi banks have opened bank accounts in Indian rupees through the Singapore Development Bank (New Delhi branch). Operations have been completed to enhance the balance of two of these banks as a first stage. This mechanism is expected to contribute to financing Iraq’s imports from India, particularly for medicines and foodstuffs which are valued at around $3 billion.
The economic reform is blossoming...because the monetary reform was a success...It is due to the security and stability that Sudani and Alaq have created for the reforms.
[Iraqi bank friend Aki update]When Saddam was removed, many retirees...expatriots...soldiers...citizens left Iraq...A great portion has come to the United States of America therefore these [CBI affiliated] private banks are needed for the reinstatement for the Central Bank of Iraq to re-collect the 3-zero notes that are missing...They turned the private exchange centers into private banks for...the change in the exchange rate of the Iraqi currency.
You have all these countries that want to pour into Iraq and they're going to bring in their currency...Go ahead bring in your currency but you're going to have to convert it into Iraqi dinar.
And that's what? Supply and demand on the market which will blow the Iraqi dinar value up...

Will the plan to bring thousands of Gaza families to Iraqi Kurdistan become a reality?
As the echoes of the Hamas-Israel conflict reverberate, an unexpected proposition emerges – the relocation of Gaza’s refugees to Kurdistan. In a clandestine meeting between Kurdistan Regional Government President Nechirvan Barzani and French President Emmanuel Macron, the intricate web of international diplomacy unraveled. Amid geopolitical complexities, the question looms: Will the controversial plan to bring thousands of Gaza families to Kurdistan become a reality?
The French Connection:
French media buzzes with speculations about Nechirvan Barzani’s visit to Paris. The focus, it seems, was not the Eiffel Tower but the war raging between Hamas and Palestine. Unraveling the diplomatic intrigue, reports suggest that France, in tandem with the Kurdistan Regional Government, delved into discussions about the unfolding Gaza crisis. As Macron and Barzani huddled behind closed doors, one wonders – why is France entwined in the fate of Gaza refugees?
Unveiling a Controversial Plan:
Whispers of Israel’s grand plan to relocate Gaza residents to Iraq have begun circulating. A senior source reveals to Kurdish 7Roj, that diplomatic wheels are in motion, aiming to bring thousands of displaced families to the haven of Kurdistan. Reports claim that over 5,000 Gaza refugees have already found solace in areas controlled by the KRG. Amidst the sensitive negotiations, the real question emerges: Can such a bold move materialize, and what consequences might it unleash upon the region?
Diplomatic Shadows and Unspoken Agendas:
Behind the diplomatic curtains, the Macron-Barzani talks assume a critical role in shaping global perceptions. While the details of their conversation remain veiled, the source speculates that these discussions will cast a ripple effect on Macron’s future engagements with world powers. As the world watches, the question persists – what diplomatic cards are being played, and how might this chessboard of international relations reshape the trajectory of the Gaza conflict?
The Security Quandary for Kurdistan:
The potential resettlement of Gaza’s population in Kurdistan raises not just diplomatic eyebrows but also serious security concerns. Recent geopolitical shifts have placed Iraq under the sway of militias, making any large-scale resettlement a precarious endeavor. As the specter of a destabilized region looms large, the Kurdistan Region grapples with the dilemma of providing sanctuary without compromising its own security. In a region where alliances are as fragile as peace, the stakes are higher than ever.
In this crossroads of exodus, the fate of Gaza’s refugees hangs in the balance, entangled in the intricate web of international diplomacy, political chess, and the quest for regional stability.
Upheaval in Iraq: The Push for a Referendum and the Role of Inter-Regional Dialogues
The city of Sadr in Baghdad is on the verge of a significant political shift, with officials pressing for a referendum. This move has sparked a new wave of inter-regional dialogues and collaborations, highlighted by the recent visit of Mohammed Shia Suudani to Erbil. Suudani’s visit, focusing primarily on the pressing issues that Iraq faces, underscores the country’s critical juncture.
Unrest and Political Tensions in Iraq
These developments in Iraq come amidst a time of unrest and growing political tensions. The push for a referendum in the city of Sadr is indicative of these tensions. The move could signal a possible shift in the political power dynamics, with potentially far-reaching implications. It also highlights the complexities of the political landscape in Iraq, with various factions vying for control and influence.
Mohammed Shia Suudani’s Crucial Visit
Mohammed Shia Suudani’s visit to Erbil has been another significant development. The purpose of the visit was to discuss important and current issues related to Iraq. This visit showcases the importance of inter-regional dialogues and collaborations in today’s politically charged environment. It also emphasizes the significance of open communication channels and the role they play in fostering understanding and cooperation.
Implications for the Future

The push for a referendum in Sadr city could alter the political landscape in Iraq, while the dialogue initiated by Suudani’s visit may foster better understanding and cooperation among different regions.

It is all a part of the process that they have to go through and the completion stage they are in...Just note, post assistance for Iraq and for after accession is a key indicator that they are in the completion phase..
Article quote: "It's not possible to import the dollar and secure in the local market without registering the dinar in the basket of Arab and international currencies."Bing! Wow, what did they just say? ...That's like going back to where they were in the past, that 'previous era'...
They just told you their natural resource wealth is just phenomenal. They're telling you their taxes and tariffs at the border have been activated...tourism...all of that. What do you really know about what you own. Pay attention to that
You can't vote on the hydrocarbon law for the citizens without revaluation. You have to have value...Just like the World Trade Organization. You have to have a value for ascension. That's my view....I think it's falling into place. It's really looking kind of cool...
Weak Oversight And Smuggling Of Oil From The North.. Did Iraq Violate The OPEC Plus Agreement?
Economy |Baghdad today – Baghdad Economist Nabil Al-Marsoumi said today, Saturday (November 11, 2023), that Iraq has confirmed its commitment to the “OPEC Plus” agreement and its production quota of 4.220 million barrels of oil per day.
Al-Marsoumi wrote in a blog post on his personal account on the Facebook platform, followed by “Baghdad Today,” that “Iraq’s oil exports, which rose to 3.533 million barrels per day last October, are the highest this year, resulting from a reduction in internal consumption, but a recent survey showed an increase in production.” Iraqi oil is 180,000 barrels per day above the levels specified by OPEC Plus, according to what S&P Global Commodity Institutes reported.
He continued, "Iraq's production rose last October to 4,400 million barrels per day, and this increase is largely related to weak control over oil production in Kurdistan, which consumes part of it internally and smuggles the other part through tanks to Turkey and Iran."
Yesterday, Friday (November 10, 2023), the Iraqi Ministry of Oil said that Iraq is committed to the OPEC+ agreement regarding determining production levels, two weeks before an important meeting of the oil producing group.
Iraqi Oil Minister Hayyan Abdul-Ghani said, according to a ministry statement received by Baghdad Today, that oil exports from the southern fields increased by 350,000 barrels per day, without mentioning a time frame.
The export of about 450,000 barrels per day of oil from northern Iraq has been halted since late March due to a conflict with Turkey.
The ministry's statement indicated that the increase in exports is a "natural matter" and did not affect the total production ceiling agreed upon within the framework of OPEC+.
The statement added, "These increases in export levels sometimes occur due to a decrease in domestic consumption from one quarter to another."
The statement also indicated that the OPEC+ group “will not hesitate to make decisions that ensure stability and balance in global markets.”
The OPEC+ group, which includes the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies led by Russia, is scheduled to hold a meeting in Vienna on November 26 to determine production policy.
Last September, Iraqi Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani said that Iraq's average oil production reached 4.23 million barrels per day, while the average oil export reached 3.35 million barrels per day.
Abdul Ghani confirmed that the government directed to focus oil investments in the western and central regions, while indicating that great strides had been made in enhancing investment areas through licensing rounds. According to press statements by the Minister. LINK

Importing of foreign exchange, that was a huge step for Iraq but don't count chickens before they hatch. Hopefully they don't do anything to mess it up... There's somebody in there challenging this...On the face of things with everything that's going on with Iraq...
trying to open up to the international community...trying to bring prosperity to the people...trying to get rid of the United States as a babysitter, them wanting their own sovereignty back, I just don't understand how anybody would ever think about challenging this.
The only people I could think of would be the corrupt people. As long as there's a black market well then they get to make a lot of money off of it. IMO it's most likely somebody with the political party, I don't want to name no names, Maliki, but I'm guessing it's got to be somebody from the Coordinating Framework that is opposing this.
Because if you do allow them to import foreign exchanges and the currencies are coming into the bank it makes it really hard for there to be a black market especially if the Iraqi dinar starts going up in value...No need to panic...Positive Juju...come on everybody, positive Juju. Everything is going to go according to plan...

Former Director General Indicted
The Integrity Commission in Iraq, the authority responsible for maintaining transparency and accountability, has brought the former Director General of the Ministry of Electricity to justice for alleged misappropriation of public funds. The accused has not been named, and the specifics of the case are yet to be revealed.
Undisclosed Details
While the commission has been circumspect in providing details about the case, it’s clear that the indictment is a key part of Iraq’s ongoing crackdown on corruption.

Arab League and OIC Summit Calls for Arms Embargo against Israel
The Arab League and Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) joint summit has issued a comprehensive resolution, urging for an arms embargo against Israel and calling for an immediate cessation of military operations in Gaza amid the escalating conflict. The summit also stressed the need for the International Criminal Court to expedite its investigation into alleged war crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinians.
Joint Stance of Arab and Muslim Leaders
Leaders at the summit advocated for the creation of two specialized legal monitoring units to document Israeli crimes in Gaza and prepare for legal proceedings in international courts. There were also calls for all countries to halt exporting weapons and ammunition to Israel. The summit, hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, saw the Crown Prince condemning what he called a “barbaric war” against Palestinians and attributing the responsibility for the conflict to Israel.
Challenges to Consensus
Despite the unified calls for action, the summit faced challenges in reaching a consensus. An earlier draft resolution failed to gain a majority vote, with Tunisia and Iraq abstaining from the vote for the final resolution due to reservations on several points, including the two-state solution phrase and the phrase “killing civilians”. Nevertheless, the final resolution represents a unified stance from Arab and Muslim leaders.
Call for Accountability
The summit’s resolution called for a just and lasting peace based on the two-state solution and requested the international community to hold Israel responsible for its actions and protect the Palestinian people’s rights. It emphasized the need for the Prosecutor General of the International Criminal Court to launch an immediate investigation into the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Israel against the Palestinian people in all occupied Palestinian territories. The resolution also condemned Israel’s destruction of hospitals in the Gaza Strip, the blockade imposed on the region, and the displacement of Palestinians from their homes

A parliamentarian answers... Will restarting factories reduce demand for the dollarInformation / Baghdad
Today, Friday, a member of the House of Representatives, Salem Al-Anbuki, explained the impact of restarting factories on the dollar in the Iraqi markets, while pointing to the factors of pressure on the parallel market.
Al-Anbaki said in an interview with Al-Ma’louma, “The most important factors putting pressure on the parallel market and pushing dollar prices to rise is the lack of national products that enable them to contain market demands for many goods, which leads to the import of approximately 95% of needs, which requires the availability of hard currency.” To the dollar.
He added, “Reconsidering the national economic strategy, pushing factories and laboratories to produce, and closing the large gap in the import balance will reduce the demand for the dollar by no less than 70%, which means a greater decline and gives greater flexibility in the markets.”
He pointed out that “the rise in the dollar causes severe harm to more than 13 million people who are below the poverty line because of its impact on raising prices, especially basic food items.”
The currency market in Iraq is witnessing a rise in the dollar exchange rate in recent weeks, especially as it approaches breaking the barrier of 170 thousand dinars per 100%.
