Source: Baiji Refinery boosts domestic production

Shafaq News/ On Friday, a government source disclosed that the Baiji oil refinery has been successfully rehabilitated and brought back into operation.

Today, the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani, reopened the refinery, the largest in Iraq.

The source told Shafaq News Agency that the refinery now boasts a production capacity of 150,000 barrels per day, emphasizing that it has led to a 50% reduction in the need for imported gasoline. 

The refinery, with a base production capacity of 310,000 barrels per day, had been closed for over ten years, and its operations were interrupted when ISIS occupied it in May 2014. 

Following the liberation of Baiji from ISIS in 2015, the refinery faced challenges. Some reports said that armed factions involved in the military operations against ISIS “stole” the refinery’s equipment and sold them. 

Later, Prime Minister Al-Sudani announced that the stolen equipment and devices were recovered.

"RV UPDATE" BY WOLVERINE, 24 FEB

 WOLVERINE

It has been a long journey for all of us, some of us have been in this for 30 years. A person I know has been in this since the 1960s when she heard about this, more than 50 years ago. It boggles the mind how many years people have waited for this to happen.

We can’t get any info from Reno, Zurich or other platforms because everyone is under NDA and that is a good sign. No one is talking. I tried to talk to Whales and they are under NDA, and yes, they have been blessed.

I think there is not going to be an announcement, I think it is a process, I think people will just get paid, and they will sign an NDA, and then we will know about it. They will probably celebrate with their family and their platform. I do not think we will all celebrate together as we wanted to. 

I have been told by a good source that we may celebrate by tomorrow Fri. 23 Feb.

There are some things I cannot tell you. I know people are suffering, about to lose homes, living in cars, severe health issues, like me.

I want to let you know that it has started and I am just waiting for a call to release.

My personal opinion is that we will get appointments next week.

Bondholders need to get paid first and then currency holders. Historical bond holders will go last after the currency holders.

That is about it guys. It has been very stressful for me guys.  I am going to the Gold Coast. I can’t go today, due to a glitch in the system, but I will go tomorrow as I have been invited to a summit to be a guest speaker and will be back on Monday.   There is nothing more I can tell you. Take care guys, Wolverine.

PM calls for ending oil derivatives imports as Iraq eyes self-sufficiency, 24 FEB

PM calls for ending oil derivatives imports as Iraq eyes self-sufficiency

Shafaq News/ Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani on Friday criticized Iraq's long-standing practice of importing oil derivatives despite the country's huge daily crude oil production. 

He pledged to achieve self-sufficiency in oil derivatives by mid-next year.

Speaking at a ceremony to celebrate the reopening of the Baiji North Refinery, al-Sudani denounced the decades-old policy of importing oil derivatives given Iraq's potential to meet its own needs.

"We have the capability to secure our own oil derivatives," al-Sudani said. "We are nearing the goal of self-sufficiency, with a target set for mid-next year. Our nation's heroes may even surpass this timeline."

Al-Sudani said that redirecting funds from oil derivative imports would bolster other vital sectors and reaffirmed the government's commitment to prioritizing the oil and gas industry, with a focus on efficient resource utilization and maximizing income.

Work at the Baiji refinery, Iraq's largest with a processing capacity of 310,000 barrels per day, was halted after it fell under ISIS control in May 2014.

Following the liberation of the Baiji district in 2015, many equipment were found to be lost from the refinery with fingers pointing toward Iraqi armed factions that participated in the liberation battles. Al-Sudani later announced that the looted equipment was recovered.

 [Iraqi bank friend Aki update]  

The training with the specimen sheets is a daily continuing thing...We don't know if it's going to be the DeLaRue machines or a completely different structured machine because the new security features on the new small lower notes are not recognizable on the old DeLaRue machines.  Aki is working with new sorting and counting machines [Not the new DeLaRue machines]...These machines [New DeLaRue] will only be used inside of Iraq.  Aki has no need for these machines...Chase's JP Morgan who buys and sell currency around the world would also have these new machines.

 The CBI was given new DeLaRue machines to use by the United States Treasury.  Why?  Because the old DeLaRue machines cannot read the new security features on the new lower notes.

  The Government of Iraq is soon to receive the funding for everything that is waiting for a new international exchange rate, for everything the world is waiting for, for what you're waiting for, for what the Iraqi citizens are desperately in need of.

Who told you that!'

 All these meetings that the CBI had with all these agencies that were helping them with their monetary reform are done.  All the things that Aki [Iraqi bank friend] had to do in order to qualify to exchange the 3-zero notes into American dollars is done.  International platforms that were needed in order to do electronic transfers is done...

The Governor Of The Iraqi Central Bank Identifies The Advantages Of “Electronic Collection”: A Very Important Episode, 24 FEB

 The Governor Of The Iraqi Central Bank Identifies The Advantages Of “Electronic Collection”: A Very Important Episode

Economy News – Baghdad  Today, Thursday, the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Ali Al-Alaq, described the issue of electronic collection as an “important episode,” and while he pointed to the advantages of collection, he stressed the Central Bank’s commitment to supporting this initiative.

Al-Alaq said in a speech during a workshop organized by the Iraqi Private Banks Association, and attended by an “Al-Iqtisad News” correspondent, that “the launch of the electronic collection project comes as a translation of the commitment of the Central Bank and the banks and financial institutions subject to the supervision of the Central Bank to implement its vision and strategic objectives to develop the financial banking sector in Iraq.”

He added, "The project will contribute significantly to enhancing government resources and collecting them in a reliable, secure and transparent environment, relying on the infrastructure in payment systems and electronic payment platforms provided by the Central Bank and providing payment services."

Al-Alaq stated, “This project generally targets all governmental ministries, as well as non-governmental ministries, unions, and associations from which the amounts are collected,” pointing out that “this project will enable the automation of all collection operations, the adoption of electronic payment tools, and the reduction of cash transactions, which in turn will help reduce the burden of burden on citizens by accelerating the completion of transactions.”

The Governor of the Central Bank explained, “Customers can choose the time and place they want to pay bills, and this will save time and effort and provide services to pay citizens through multiple payment channels with a high degree of trust and security.”

He pointed out that “this matter increases collection rates, reduces costs, reduces the risks of cash dealing, raises the efficiency of the service provided to the citizen, and obtains integrated data and reports,” considering that “electronic collection is an important link among the links seeking to reduce the phenomenon of the cash economy, which the Central Bank seeks to achieve.”

"RV UPDATE" BY FRANK26, 23 FEB

 Frank26 

 This parallel market is going to shift down to the 1310, to quickly move to a goal of 1 to 1 rate inside of Iraq.  Between the 19th of this month and 29th...the WTO will be admitting 5 countries into the WTO.  I believe deep in my heart one of them will be the Iraqi dinar [Iraq?]

 The U.S. dollar is going down in value this week, which means your currency [Iraqi dinar] is going to go up in value.  The only way for that to happen is with a new exchange rate and the lower notes to match it.  IMO you're going to see the dollar go up before it is finally removed and irradiated one last time...

If you take one of the new [lower] Iraqi dinar notes and you hold it up to the light you'll be able to see the safety features.  The American dollar has about a dozen markers, the [new lower] Iraqi dinar has over 20 markers.  The state of the art technology of security for toilet paper value?  No, that alone is an important aspect for you to understand...

 When this blessing occurs, where do you go? Do you go to a bank?  Do you go to an American Bank?  

Should you go to Iraq and use an Iraqi bank?  Can I use the kiosk at an airport? 

 Can I use a credit union?  You want to use a large bank.  You want to use a bank that would help you with your wealth and management.  

Don't go to a mom and pop place...We have a bank of interest - [Chase Bank].  Many of you thought it was going to be Wells Fargo.  It's highly possible Wells Fargo will still play a part...We should consider Chase.  We should consider a big state bank...

https://dinarevaluation.blogspot.com/2024/02/rv-update-by-frank26-19-feb_01931694139.html

  The high quality sample sheets [of new lower note dinar samples] are for the employees but eventually when the CBI is ready then they will invite the Iraqi citizens to come to the banks through their apps on their phones...flyers...billboards...television...commercials to come in.  'We would like to introduce you to the new lower notes that we would like to be giving you.'  They'll project these new 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 on the Channel One Iraqi Financial News.

 The process for you to exchange your currency...when you decide it's time...you're going to go to  Chase. 

 You can go to other banks, nothing wrong with that...but I would suggest you go to Chase...What is the Chief Executive  Officer of Chase doing in Iraq right now?  Opening 10 Chase banks...I don't believe in coincidence...I encourage you to consider  Chase because they're going to be able to connect you with IMO one of the most powerful ways to diversify your money.  Yeah, JP  Morgan.

"ANALYSIS OF IRAQ NEWS" BY MILITIAMAN, 23 FEB

  Militia Man 

 Article: "Al-Sudani makes comments on US sanctions: We will not abandon the private banking sector"  The work Al-Sudani has done thus far is truly amazing... Previous governments were allowing the theft of massive amounts of money.  That is no longer.  This is likely why...the UN Assembly meetings were successful and with powerful statements about Iraq's future in "Restoring Confidence" (DAVOS) to the Global Financial system and with the largest banks in the world, i.e., J.P. Morgan Chase, CitiBank, etc..

 The amount of construction and all those things that we've talked about are not going to be affordable at 1310. 

 They specifically did a tripartite budget which they haven't totally exposed yet...But notice the things they have done.  They were in the UN assembly... Davos...Munich and they were doing deals behind closed doors with all these different countries of the world...Middle East, United States, Great Britain and on and on and on...

Are they going to be doing this to stay where they were before or are they going back to a previous era?  1169, 1182, 1460, 1310, they never went international with those rate...

 Article:  "Government advisor: Iraq is on the cusp of a transitional stage in the development of promising economies globally"    Is this the major announcement or a lead into one, that Salih told us about? If it isn't an announcement it surely is a good lead into one...Awesome news indeed.. International ships arriving, partnering with the private sector, integration with the global economy, compliance with with international standards. Surely we can all see the writing on the wall.. Yep.. Powerful.. imo

One of the things that's important is what we didn't have in the past was banks talking to us at the length that they are now...

Article quote  "...Iraq will return to being a strong economic player."  If they're not a strong economic player at 1310 why would they be tomorrow?  ...Iraq's not going to go international until they show us a Real Effective Exchange Rate.  I'm looking forward to it.  I think it's going to be powerful. 

 [Mr. IT Guy Bank Story] 

My brother asked [JP Morgan Wealth Manager] whether he could bypass the US dollar and exchange straight from the IQD to gold and silver and the private banker said he didn't know but he would find out and call him back.  

 MILITIA MAN:   My understanding is that is possible...I have been told some time ago by more than one source that if the currency is traded on the FX...an international acceptable foreign exchange currency...they'll take that currency in exchange for precious metals. 

My wife and I...were looking for a Chase branch that had  JP Morgan Wealth Management printed on the door as well as Chase...I'm in a large metropolitan area...We found one near us...My brother took  it upon himself to call the branch yesterday.  He specifically asked for a private banker...My brother asked him if they exchange foreign currencies and if he was aware of the Iraqi revalue of their currency.  

The private banker said yes he was and that they would be exchanging at that location...and names and numbers he's taking will get priority over anybody else that calls or walks in  after the revalue..

As soon as it hits Forex he's going to start making  phone calls...He told my brother they were expecting a number of people to be coming in and were preparing for that, a bunch of new people with wealth is...exactly what he told my brother...They're planning on having police officers available at the location for  those customs that are planning on leaving the establishment with large sums of cash... 

 MILITIA MAN: ...Is it a coincidence that  this expert came out tonight and talked about deletion of the zeros?  We're going to find out.  It's pretty interesting stuff.

 Al-Sudani: 2025 Will Witness Stopping The Waste Of Billions After Being Satisfied With Oil Derivatives[/Size]

Economy | 11:52 - 02/23/2024  Mawazine News – Baghdad  Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani set the year 2025 as the date to stop the import of petroleum derivatives, during his inauguration of the North Refinery in Baiji. Al-  Sudani stated, in a speech during the opening ceremony, that “this achievement and the previous achievements are in order to complete the country’s needs.” Of oil derivatives, the most recent of which was the opening of the Karbala refinery and another in Basra.

 He added, “This is today’s great achievement to achieve an important step on the way to declaring Iraq soon, God willing, after completing the rest of the projects no later than mid-2025, and God willing, the heroes will surprise us with a sooner date to announce the completion of Importing oil derivatives and transferring this huge amount of money, billions of dollars, to other aspects. This is the real reform.

 He pointed out that "reform is not a single word, it is not just a word, but rather action, planning, and a goal, and this is what we are working on."

He continued, "The other side of this achievement was achieved through national effort as well. When we announced the start of the construction of this refinery, there were those who doubted this promise and said that the reasonable time limit ranged between 3-4 years, and we used to hear this from those who claimed specialization."   https://www.mawazin.net/Details.aspx?jimare=242596

"RV UPDATE" BY MNT GOAT, 23 FEB

 Mnt Goat 

 ...when it does finally come out on the global exchanges, like FOREX, the rate in Iraq will coincide to whatever the rates are on the global currency exchanges that you want to exchange the dinar to. The banks will then use FOREX...Once on FOREX, there will be currency exchange rates in Iraq and elsewhere according to the country’s currency you are exchanging it in. 

For instance, if you are in the United States you will exchange for USD. If you are in Germany you will exchange for Euros, etc.. etc...  There are no other rates. The Iraqi program rate will be gone. That whole temporary currency system will be gone.

"ANALYSIS OF IRAQ NEWS: CBI CANCELING CURRENCY AUCTIONS" BY MNT GOAT, 23 FEB

So, just today another article came out from the CBI telling us about yet more steps in the RV/Reinstatement process that are about to be implemented. The news could not get any better, aside from having the reinstatement itself. WOW! WOW! WOW! 

I want to fully explain all of it in detail to you and why I feel so excited today and what we should look forward to soon. In this recent article the CBI is telling us once again the plan to end the currency auctions which also means the U.S. Treasury electronic platform, installed last January 2023. Do you remember? So even though we have been hearing bad news about the inability of the CBI to control the parallel rate, something has changed for the better. Here is the quote from the article – 

“The Central Bank of Iraq is heading to cancel the electronic platform and the currency auction soon”.

 We all know that soon means many things to the Iraqis. Speedy Gonzales does not work in Iraq… lol.. lol.. lol.. But also remember that the CBI told us in another past article that March is targeted for this effort to occur. March is just a week away.
