Kurdistan Council Reconsiders Decisions: A Fervor for Arts and Oil Rights, 15 NOV

 Kurdistan Council Reconsiders Decisions: A Fervor for Arts and Oil Rights, 15 NOV

The Council of Ministers in the Kurdistan Region is set to reconvene, following a significant visit by Prime Minister Masrour Barzani to the Erbil Institute of Fine Arts Festival. The visit marked the Prime Minister’s commitment to fostering the arts and culture, which stand as potent symbols of the region’s rich history and national significance.

Reviving the Cultural Pulse

During his visit, Prime Minister Barzani expressed his full support for the blossoming of arts and culture in the region, a move that signifies the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) recognition of the importance of cultural preservation and its role in nation-building.

Securing Financial Rights

Enveloped within the Prime Minister’s engagements was a crucial meeting with Iraq’s Oil Minister. The primary focus of the discussion was the KRG’s adamant insistence that the federal government respect the constitutional rights of the Kurdistan Region, particularly concerning financial entitlements.

Oil Production: A Crux of Agreement

Further, the Iraqi oil minister elucidated his expectations of reaching an agreement with the KRG and foreign oil companies. This agreement aims to resume oil production from the oilfields within the Kurdish region within three days, a move that holds substantial implications for the region’s economy and its relations with Iraq.

Iraq Initiates Economic Measures Amidst Global Economic Fluctuations, 15 NOV

 Iraq Initiates Economic Measures Amidst Global Economic Fluctuations, 15 NOV

As fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against foreign currencies, notably the US dollar, continue to unsettle the economy, the Iraqi government is initiating measures to steady the ship. In the center of the storm is Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who has directed government bank managers to chalk out a plan within a month aimed at refining banking operations.

Transition to Electronic Banking

The plan, as it stands, includes a substantial leap from paper-based to electronic banking. The shift is expected to be complemented by the expansion of electronic payment services, thus paving the way for a more digitized financial landscape. Furthermore, the blueprint also entails developing a comprehensive vision for granting credit facilities and loans.

Trade Negotiations with Iran

Meanwhile, a government source has revealed that negotiations with Iran are underway. The discussions are aimed at regulating trade between the two nations. The proposed measures being considered include facilitating import procedures, establishing a free trade zone, and developing electronic payment systems.

Economic Fluctuations Elsewhere

While Iraq grapples with its economic challenges, France’s unemployment rate climbed to 7.4% in the third quarter, the highest since Q2 2022. A slowdown in economic growth in both Europe and globally has been cited by the French Finance Minister as the root cause for the increase. However, China offered a glimmer of hope as its industrial output and retail sales exceeded expectations in October, despite the real estate sector acting as a stumbling block to a full economic recovery. The Chinese government’s attempts to jump-start the economy post-COVID-19 through policy support measures have so far had only a modest impact.

US Sanctions Waiver

In another development, the Biden administration has extended a sanctions waiver for Iraq by four months, permitting the ongoing purchase of electricity from Iran. Critics argue that the extension rewards Iran amidst increasing pressure to discontinue support for proxy groups. Despite the backlash, the waiver maintains the provision for electricity proceeds to be transferred to accounts in Oman, converted into widely traded currencies, and used by Iran to buy non-sanctioned products. This move seeks to decrease Iran’s leverage over Iraq while keeping US Iran policy intact and sanctions unchanged.
