Parliamentary oil: Amending a budget paragraph enhances oil exports and understanding with Kurdistan
The Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee confirmed on Wednesday that the amendment of the paragraph that paid the cost of extracting the oil of the Kurdistan Region and delivering it to “SUMO” opens the way to expand exports and improve coordination between the region and the center.
A member of the Parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, Kazem Al-Tuki, told {Al-Furat News} that “Iraq is committed to the OPEC system in determining the quantities of oil production, pointing out that production is sometimes lower than the specified ceiling.”
He added: “The recent agreement with the Kurdistan Region included an amendment of a paragraph in the budget related to the payment of the financial cost of extracting oil and delivering it to SUMO, which opens the way for expanding exports or directing the region’s oil to refineries.”
He stressed the importance of this understanding between the region, the Center and the Ministry of Oil to achieve better coordination in the management of oil resources.

Goldman Sachs: OPEC+ cuts may support oil in the near term
Economy News _ Follow-up
Crude oil production declined in Iraq, Kazakhstan and Russia in compliance with OPEC+ production cuts, supporting some rise in Brent prices in the near term, according to a recent Goldman Sachs note.
The investment bank added in its memorandum issued on Tuesday that Saudi Arabia is likely to extend oil production cuts due to the recent decline in prices, and that it now believes that oil production cuts will continue until April 2025 instead of January.
Goldman Sachs kept his forecast for the average price of 2025 Brent crude at $76 per barrel.
The group, which includes members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies including Russia, is discussing another delay in increasing oil production, which was due to begin in January, two OPEC+ sources told Reuters.
At the group’s latest meeting, held on November 3, OPEC+ agreed to postpone the production increase scheduled for December for a month.
“Any increase in OPEC+ production will be gradual and will depend on data,” the bank said.
Goldman Sachs added that the high level of commitment to OPEC+ production cuts indicates that member countries in the group are working together to stabilize oil prices.
Production from Iraq, Kazakhstan and Russia fell 0.5 million barrels per day in November, he said.
Executives at global commodity trading giants Vitol, Travigura and Gonfor said at the Energy Intelligence Forum in London that OPEC member countries were unlikely to back down from voluntary production cuts in the near term.
But despite OPEC+ production cuts and delayed production increases, Brent crude futures mostly remained in the range of $70 to $80 this year, trading at below $74 on Tuesday.
Goldman Sachs last week revised its forecast for Brent prices to $80 a barrel on average this year, despite supply deficits and geopolitical uncertainty during 2024, citing an expected surplus in 2025.

BP delegation to finalize Kirkuk oil field deal to boost production
Shafaq News/ A delegation from British Petroleum (BP) has arrived in Kirkuk to hold intensive discussions with the North Oil Company, aiming to finalize an agreement to develop the region’s oil fields, according to a senior company source.
This follows the memorandum of understanding signed on August 1 under the supervision of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani. The agreement, involving Iraq’s Ministry of Oil and BP, focuses on rehabilitating and expanding production in key Kirkuk oil fields, including the Baba and Avanah domes and three adjacent fields – Bai Hassan, Jambur, and Khabbaz – that are operated by the Government of Iraq’s North Oil Company (NOC), with the possibility of adding more fields in the future.
The source revealed that “BP presented its initial plan during meetings with North Oil Company officials, outlining surveys and preparations for oil wells. A meeting with Kirkuk Governor Rebwar Taha is also scheduled to discuss the progress.”
Additionally, the North Oil Company has already initiated a work plan to boost production, focusing on connecting wells in Bai Hassan, upgrading the pipeline network in the Avanah field, repairing damaged pipelines at Shoraw station, and implementing a drilling and reclamation plan.
Economic expert Abbas Al-Ali explained that the partnership aims to increase oil production in Kirkuk’s fields, which currently produce approximately 325,000 barrels per day (bpd). The target is to more than double output to 650,000 bpd.
“The agreement also includes a three-dimensional seismic study of the reservoirs to maximize extraction efficiency,” Al-Ali said.
Estimates indicate that the Kirkuk field contains around nine billion barrels of recoverable oil, underscoring its strategic importance for Iraq’s energy sector.

Economist: Non-Oil Revenues To Achieve Significant Growth In 2024
Wednesday 27 November 2024 | Economic Number of readings: 141 Baghdad / NINA / Economic expert Manar Al-Obaidi, a member of the Political Economic Center, announced that the non-oil revenues of the Iraqi state grew during the first nine months of 2024 by 198% to reach the 12.3% barrier of its contribution to the total revenues of the Iraqi state.
Al-Obaidi said in a statement that the total non-oil revenues of the Iraqi state during this period amounted to 14 trillion Iraqi dinars, up from the same period in 2023, which was about 4.7 trillion dinars.
Despite the decrease in the value of revenues resulting from taxes on income and wealth by 17%, the increase in commodity taxes by 275% and the increase in the budget's share of public sector profits by 243% contributed to this significant increase.
He explained that for the first time since 2003, non-oil revenues constituted 12% of total revenues and the contribution of oil revenues decreased to reach 88% of total revenues.
He added that the total revenues until September 2024 amounted to 114 trillion Iraqi dinars, an increase of 19% compared to the same period in 2023, which amounted to 95.85 trillion Iraqi dinars.
The improvement in non-oil revenues is due to the reforms made in the tax and customs file, in addition to encouraging profitable public companies to increase their contribution to government revenues. It is expected that non-oil revenues in 2024 will reach the barrier of 18 trillion Iraqi dinars. Despite the increase in this number,
it is still far from the planned number in the budget, which amounts to about 28 trillion Iraqi dinars. However, this improvement in these revenues reflects the success of the reforms made in the field of collection and work to increase payment through electronic outlets. / End 9 https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1171400

Awake-in-3D: Unlocking Wealth Through our GCR Currency Revaluation Explained
Unlocking Wealth Through Our GCR Currency Revaluation Explained
Awake-In-3D
November 25, 2024
A closer look at the mechanisms behind GCR currency revaluation and its life-changing potential for currency holders worldwide.
Introduction: A Key Pillar of the Global Currency Reset
Understanding the intricacies of GCR currency revaluation is key to grasping its potential to reshape the global economy. This pivotal process not only redefines the value of currencies but also presents extraordinary opportunities for those holding undervalued assets. In this article, we’ll break down the mechanisms driving GCR currency revaluation and explore how this transformative shift can unlock wealth for individuals while fostering economic growth worldwide.
What is GCR Currency Revaluation?
Currency revaluation occurs when a nation increases the official value of its currency relative to others. This occurs for various reasons, including:
Historically, currency revaluations have significantly shaped economies. For example:
These examples demonstrate how GCR currency revaluation can serve as a powerful tool for economic recovery and stability.
The Role of Gold and Digital Currencies in GCR Currency Revaluation
A major distinction in today’s GCR currency revaluation discussions is the role of gold and digital currencies as the backbone of the process. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, which derive their value from government trust and policies, these new currencies are grounded in tangible assets and innovative technology.
Gold-Backed Currencies
Many emerging market currencies participating in the GCR are preparing to peg their currencies to gold, providing intrinsic value and stability. By backing currencies with physical gold reserves, nations:
For example, countries with rich natural resources, like Iraq and Vietnam, benefit significantly as their gold-backed currencies gain international credibility.
Digital Currencies and Blockchain
Digital currencies, particularly those based on blockchain distributed ledger technology, complement the GCR currency revaluation process. They offer:
By integrating gold reserves with blockchain-based systems, the RV achieves both intrinsic value and technological integrity.
How GCR Currency Revaluation Benefits Currency Holders
For individuals holding emerging market currencies, GCR currency revaluation offers a significant financial opportunity. These currencies, long undervalued due to economic instability or lack of global recognition, gain new worth under the GCR. Holders of these currencies exchange them for traditional fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar or euro, at significantly higher rates, resulting in substantial financial gains.
For example:
The Role of Trading Platforms in GCR Currency Revaluation
The revaluation process is facilitated by secure, transparent trading platforms designed to handle high-volume currency exchanges. These platforms:
Such platforms are critical for maintaining trust and efficiency as currencies re-enter the global financial system at their new values.
Economic Development and Humanitarian Projects Post-RV
One of the most compelling aspects of GCR currency revaluation is its potential to unlock funding for economic development and humanitarian initiatives. The infusion of wealth enables nations to:
Additionally, many private groups and organizations involved in the GCR allocate a portion of RV proceeds to economic development and humanitarian projects. These efforts aim to uplift underserved communities, ensuring that the benefits of GCR currency revaluation extend beyond governments and investors to everyday citizens.
The Shift from Fiat to Gold-Backed Systems
The transition from fiat currencies, like the U.S. dollar, to gold-backed systems underpins the entire GCR currency revaluation process. Fiat currencies, which rely on trust and policy rather than tangible assets, face growing skepticism due to inflation, debt crises, and currency m**********n.
Gold-backed currencies offer a more stable alternative, grounded in physical reserves. This shift:
The Bottom Line: GCR Currency Revaluation as a Catalyst for Change
GCR currency revaluation is more than an economic adjustment—it’s a catalyst for global transformation. By aligning currency values with tangible assets and leveraging cutting-edge technology, it ensures a stable and inclusive financial future.
Beyond individual benefits, GCR currency revaluation paves the way for broader economic development and humanitarian initiatives, ensuring that the GCR’s impact is felt worldwide. As nations transition from fiat systems to gold-backed currencies, the promise of the RV becomes not just a financial event but a global milestone in achieving economic equity and sustainability.

Parliamentary Finance: Amending The Budget Law Will Allow For Changing Useless Paragraphs And Item
Information / Baghdad.. The Parliamentary Finance Committee confirmed, on Wednesday, that any change to the paragraphs of the federal budget will allow for the change of paragraphs and items that have been proven to be ineffective.
Committee member MP Hussein Mounes said in a statement to Al-Maalouma Agency, "Submitting the first reading of the draft law amending the federal budget that was approved for three years (23, 24 and 25) will allow for changing paragraphs and items that have proven to be ineffective."
He added, "The amendment needs a deeper study because that will push us to change the schedules, and thus we will be faced with an increase in the deficit on the one hand and a decrease on the other."
It is noteworthy that the agenda of the House of Representatives included a paragraph discussing the first reading of the draft first amendment to the federal budget for fiscal years 23, 24 and 25, submitted by the Parliamentary Finance Committee. LINK
