Sudanese announces expansion of relations with Spain, joint committee held in mid-2024
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani announced the agreement of Iraq and Spain to strengthen partnership and cooperation between the two countries in various fields during a time limit.
“We stressed the importance of the relationship with Spain and its development and agreed on a year-long schedule that establishes a broad partnership,” Al-Sudani said at a press conference with his Spanish counterpart Pedro Sanchez, in Baghdad.
He announced that “the meeting of the Iraqi-Spanish Joint Committee will be held in Baghdad in mid-2024.”
Al-Sudani pointed out that they “consulted in benefiting from the Spanish experience in water and solar energy management, and we invited Spain to participate in the Baghdad conference.”
He stressed that “the government is continuing to end the presence of the international coalition in Iraq,” noting that “targeting diplomatic missions is harms the interest of Iraq.”
He stressed that “Iraqi sovereignty cannot be compromised and are able to maintain the security of the missions,” noting that “the war on Gaza revealed the failure of the international system to maintain security.”
For his part, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez expressed his happiness to visit Baghdad, pointing out that he “held fruitful consultations with the Prime Minister and we touched on the development of relations between the two countries.”
“We are committed to supporting the stability of Iraq and we will make a joint declaration to define the areas with Iraq and we will hold a meeting of the joint committee in Baghdad,” he added.
“There is a desire for Spanish companies to contribute to the construction of Iraq and Gaza, which is in a tragic situation, and we refuse to target civilians in the Strip,” Sudani continued.
The Spanish prime minister called for “a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and Iraq, a country of civilizations, and we are honored to visit us to Baghdad and aspire to strengthen relations.”

Wednesday Evening News with MarkZ
Some highlights by PDK-Not verbatim
MarkZ Disclaimer: Please consider everything on this call as my opinion. People who take notes do not catch everything and its best to watch the video so that you get everything in context. Be sure to consult a professional for any financial decisions
Member: Good Evening everyone….hope you all had a good day.
Member: RV there yet? ….lol
Member: Frank says Fils are out
MZ: Fairly quiet day today. A number of group leaders are trying to get their feet under them today after a travel day yesterday. I was hoping for a solid update tonight from group leaders and bond contacts. But today they are in place for things. Hopefully we will get updates tomorrow.
MZ: Have not heard anything negative. Hearing things are still on track.
MZ: The economic Ninja did a video about “What Iraq just did will affect the whole world.” He is not talking about an RV. He is talking about getting rid of the US dollar. He also talks about the Kuwaiti Dinar…..and how the connected people got to take advantage of it. He also said Iraq is different because there was no internet with Kuwait. He says they engineered a revaluation with Kuwait. And many people did very well. He mostly talked about Iraqs de-dollarization and willingness to tell the US to s**** off. Iraq needs to support their own country and trade internationally. He does touch on a lot of history and why we should expect an Iraq revaluation.
MZ: “Russia and Iran officially ditch US dollar for trade” Another good one.
MZ: “First Rupee payment for oil to the UAE” This is from India. More de-dollarization
MZ: There seems to be a lot of fear about redemption centers. What I refer to as redemption centers are participating banking institutions. You can call them what you want. These are banking properties with banking personnel trained to handle foreign currency transaction and verify them on-site instead of sending them off somewhere.
MZ: You folks need to make your own decisions …but there is a lot of fear mongering going on about it. I cannot believe people are still fighting over terminology. No one is telling you to go to a motel 6 or red roof inn to exchange…or an old abandoned warehouse. ……use some common sense…I cannot believe we are still talking about this.
Member: Common sense is not all that common anymore.
Member: Common sense. Mark you are asking for the impossible. It hasn’t existed for hundreds of years. Give up looking… lol
Member: We are hearing that the rates are jumping around too much. Maybe we need the rates to settle in and we should be good to go.
Member: In Iraq: The rerouting of almost every major shipping line now going through the southern port of Iraq currently operating and projected to match the annual revenue of their oil proceeds. Unimaginable wealth
Member: I heard there are still 7 states that have not adopted gold backed legislation . How can the US adopt gold backed?
MZ: Why do they have to adopt it? ….Its already in the US constitution. Gold and metals are our assets . The current fiat system is the one in conflict with the law.
Member: Don’t sweat the small details like redemption center vs bank building office suite. All we need is the notifications and all those types of questions will be resolved. Patience is necessary.
Member: Just watched Nadar and Angle 1 interview. Good information on current news
Member: Nader and Angel 1 were talking about the redenominating of the currency…meaning we would trade our currency for the smaller bills?
Mod: HEY GUYS! HERE IS THE LINK FROM THIS AFTERNOON WITH NADER AND ANGEL1! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKqGKU1oJ98
Mod: Thank you Mark and mods….appreciate everything you do for all of us every day

The Recovery Of Iraqi Economic Activity, Will It Repeat Its Role?, 27 DEC
The Recovery Of Iraqi Economic Activity, Will It Repeat Its Role?
Economical 12/25/2023 Yasser Al-Metwally Most countries base their economic relations on international assessments of a specific country's economy, aiming to deal with it based on the strength of its economy, according to current custom.
By tracking the assessments of the International Monetary Fund missions through its teams of experts, we conclude that the Iraqi economy has begun to recover despite the impact of the cuts imposed on its oil production on overall growth.
The important result is that inflation rates have declined during this year.
Despite all the criticism directed at the approach to the tripartite budget (the framework of the effective three-year budget law) and with the possibility of significant risks to the sustainability of the country’s public financial conditions in the medium term, the structural reforms pursued by the government are extremely important factors in ensuring the protection and stability of the macroeconomic.
In light of this vision, expectations of achieving growth by 5 percent during the year 2023, which is about to end, have been achieved.
It is true that implementing the budget will help to continue non-oil growth in the next year 2024.
However, the decline in oil production after the closure of the oil pipeline linking Iraq and Turkey, and reducing Production at the request of the OPEC+ group will work together to reduce gross domestic product growth in the years 2023 and 2024.
The inflation rate has declined from its peak of 7 percent this year, and
the most important thing is that it is expected to remain stable at this rate during the coming months.
Perhaps the reason for the reduction in inflation rates is due to the
Central Bank of Iraq adopting a more stringent monetary policy, the
impact of raising the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar, the
decline in global food prices, and the
return of trade financing operations to normal with improved compliance with the anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing framework.
It is useful to point out that adopting the three-year budget setting method may lead to improving the level of financial planning and the continuity of implementation of development projects in the medium term. Which is the most important thing.
However, the government faces another challenge, as the delay in starting to implement the budget this year may contribute to the shift from a large surplus achieved in 2022 to a larger deficit in 2024, reflecting the full annual impact of budget procedures.
Such a major expansion in public finances, including a fundamental increase in the numbers of public sector members and pensioners, will raise public spending rates, which will put pressure on funds.
In this case, the government must ensure the protection of extremely important needs, and this is done by examining more non-oil revenues.
The government did well by paying attention to addressing this aspect by supporting these measures by moving to work on a more targeted social safety net, and working to provide better protection for groups. Fragile.
Hence, the most important role of the private sector is highlighted in achieving balance in reducing pressure on the government by stimulating economic diversification and creating job opportunities led by the private sector, which is a pivotal factor in achieving growth.
This trend is credited to the government if support for the private sector continues to ensure the creation of equal opportunities for the private sector through reforms. In banking and the electricity sector, reducing distortions in the labor market, and continuing to make efforts to strengthen governance and limit the spread of corruption.
This evaluation of governance performance by international experts will require them to advance the reality of the Iraqi economy and sustain this recovery, so that Iraq can regain its pivotal role among emerging economies. https://alsabaah.iq/89277-.html
