Iraq’s Oil Pipeline Company announced the completion of restoration work on the 12-kilometer petroleum products pipeline connecting Baiji to Kirkuk.

The General Manager, Ali Abdul Kareem Al-Mousawi, revealed that the company’s technical and engineering staff successfully rebuilt the pipeline after it was shut down in 2014 owing to ISIS terrorist actions in the region.

This secures the delivery of petroleum products to Kirkuk province’s population, districts, sub-districts, and northern provinces, while also activating pipeline pumping capacity and relieving strain on tanker transport.

"RV UPDATE" BY FRANK26, 13 MARCH

  The transitional period is what you're experiencing right now...in the monetary reform.

 Article:  "Coordination Framework seeks early election to curb al-Sudani's growing popularity: analysis"  Quote:  "The Iraqi government is currently weighing the question of changing the currency so that the official cost of a US dollar will be 1.32 Iraqi dinars instead of 1,320 dinars. "  Now do you understand why they left it at 1320 even though we suggested that they would take it to 1200 or 1000? 
 
 Question: "Do you believe one more move to 1,000 or RI?"  It looks like 1310 might be what they were seeking.  Maybe a dollar is not enough.
