Oil And Gas Law Stuck In Parliament's Drawers, 23 JULY

 Iraq   08:07 - 2024-07-23   Political differences and the absence of consensus since the first session of the House of Representatives have kept the draft oil and gas law stuck in the parliament’s drawers.

In each session, conflicts have prevented its approval in its final form. Five parliamentary sessions have passed and the law has not been released to this day.

The parliamentary Oil, Gas and Natural Resources Committee expects the law to be postponed to the next parliamentary session due to ongoing disagreements.

Ali Al-Lami, a member of the parliamentary Oil and Gas Committee, says that one of the reasons for obstructing the approval of the Oil and Gas Law is the ongoing disagreements between the governments of Baghdad and Erbil.

He adds that his committee sent the law to the government at the beginning of the current parliamentary session, but we do not expect it to be approved during the current session, as it requires study and reading, suggesting that the law will be postponed to the next parliamentary session.

For her part, Zainab Al-Moussawi, a member of the parliamentary oil and gas committee, says that the law is almost complete, and to a high degree, but there are some objections regarding some points, which are summarized in the delivery of oil revenues and exploited and unexploited natural resources to Baghdad.

Al-Moussawi adds that the oil and gas law is concerned with organizing the country's natural resources and exploiting the largest possible amount of undiscovered oil fields.

She points out that the law will also contribute to achieving self-sufficiency in oil derivatives and optimal exploitation of wasted natural resources, estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars, which contribute to diversifying the state's financial resources.

The draft of the oil and gas law in Iraq available to parliament stipulates that the responsibility for managing the country's oil fields should be entrusted to a national oil company.

Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani had previously confirmed that the draft oil and gas law is one of the basic and important laws, and represents a factor of strength and unity for Iraq. It has been pending for years, at a time when the country is in dire need of its legislation and to benefit from this natural wealth in all fields and sectors, in addition to the contribution of the legislation of the law in solving many of the outstanding problems.

He explained that there are governorates that have not invested their wealth, which is a negative thing for development efforts in all their paths.  https://kirkuktv.net/AR/Details/21690

An Expert Warns Of A Return To Rising Inflation Rates Globally.. What Is The Connection To The Iraqi Markets?, 23 JULY

 Money  and business   Economy News – Baghdad  Economist Ziad Al-Hashemi warned on Monday of the possibility of inflation rates rising again globally with the continuation of Houthi attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea region.

Al-Hashemi said in a post on the Ax website that there are "fears of inflation rates rising again globally with the continuation of Houthi attacks on commercial shipping vessels in the Red Sea region for the sixth consecutive month, and Iraqi markets are on the list of those affected!"

He added, "The global economy has begun to feel the pressures of rising costs and prices as a result of the continued disruption of transport chains between Asia and Europe, with the Houthi attacks continuing for the sixth month and the diversion of shipping routes away from the Red Sea.

Shipping prices have quadrupled on a monthly basis from $1,890 in the first month of 2024 to more than $8,000 during the seventh month, per FEU container."

He stated that "during the past period, many international economic and financial experts have downplayed the effects of the disruption of maritime transport routes due to Houthi attacks, and their negative repercussions on the prices of goods and services in Western economies, especially the consumer price index (one of the most important indicators for assessing the path of inflation),

 but with the continuation of security risks and threats in the Red Sea region, the continued rise in transport prices, and the imminent expiration of many long-term contracts with fixed freight rates, many convictions and analyses have changed."

Al-Hashemi stressed, "We have growing concern that the large increases in shipping prices will lead to significant increases in the prices of goods and products in Western markets, which will put pressure on inflation rates that have gradually begun to decline and reach the targeted levels."

He added, "These price pressures may lead to inflation rates rising again, which means that the efforts and endeavours of central banks to curb inflation in the West have faltered, and this will greatly hinder and delay the start of the process of reducing interest rates, which global markets are eagerly awaiting."

He pointed out that "concerns in the markets continue and are increasing with the continuation of military operations, the disruption of transportation routes, and the rise in transportation prices to significant levels, especially with the absence of light at the end of the tunnel of this crisis, and eyes will focus more on inflation rates, and waiting to see how things will develop."

Regarding the impact on the Iraqi markets, Al-Hashemi confirmed that they are “highly affected by changes in shipping prices coming from Asia, and increases in shipping prices can directly and quickly affect the prices of imported goods, and this may be one of the reasons for the rise in commodity prices in the Iraqi markets during the first half of 2024.”
