Oil Minister: I expect gas reserves to increase to more than 200 trillion cubic feet

Baghdad
Oil Minister Hayan Abdul Ghani confirmed on Sunday that the gas reserves achieved in Iraq amount to 128 trillion cubic feet and it is expected that these quantities will increase to more than 200 trillion cubic feet through these areas spread in the western region, which, by investing in them, will achieve self-sufficiency in gas and perhaps Iraq will turn into a country exporting gas to the countries of the world.
Abdul Ghani said in a televised interview followed by "Al-Eqtisad News" that the ministry took the initiative to drill an exploratory well in one of the promising areas, which is the Al-Anz area, and according to studies it contains a large gas reserve that produces less than 1,000 cubic meters of gas per day, indicating that there was a fifth supplementary and sixth licensing round that includes 29 oil fields and a gas exploration area located in western Iraq.
He added that the exploratory gas patch is spread in the western region of Iraq. This patch is approximately 8 to 9 patches that include large quantities of gas that are expected to be offered to specialized companies for investment.
Abdul Ghani pointed out that we are about to go to the United States of America to present these exploration areas to specialized American companies with the aim of investing in these areas and sites.
The subsequent [After New York] visit to Washington D.C. was most likely to prove to the UST that the rogue, non-compliant banks in Iraq were brought to heel. I see an RV in the near future and I must say, it's about time.

...Crazy rumor is that the Dinar will be constant or fixed "In Country", but will float for the rest of the world. This is not true. The species of note in country will be the smaller denomination ONLY.
However, the species of note for the rest of the world will include the three zero notes which will bear the same exchange rate. The only difference is that it will be multiplied by the thousands. (Three Zeros)
There will be NO LOP!
It has been repeatedly stated that both species will co-exist for a period of ten years. Nothing has changed since I was told this 14 years ago.
Why these rumors start to surface periodically, usually when the RV seems to be imminent, is a mystery to me.
In September 2024, the government, under the leadership of Yasser Al-Awadi, emphasized its commitment to fighting corruption and ensuring that the law is upheld and enforced at all levels. This dedication to transparency and accountability is crucial in maintaining public trust and fostering an environment conducive to sustainable development and economic growth.
The Al-Awadi government is not alone in its efforts. It is part of a global movement, as evidenced by the 17th Meeting of the Working Group on the Fight Against Corruption and Money Laundering held in the United Arab Emirates in September 2024. This international collaboration underscores the shared belief that corruption is a global issue requiring a concerted response.
Strengthening Institutions and Transparency
In line with the theme of the 14th Annual Conference of Heads of Anti-Corruption Agencies in Commonwealth Africa, "Strengthening Institutions and Promoting Transparency: A Means of Fighting Corruption in Commonwealth Africa," the Al-Awadi government is focusing on institutional reforms. By enhancing the capacity of anti-corruption agencies and promoting transparency, the government aims to reduce opportunities for corruption and increase public confidence in the administration.
Private Sector and Civil Society Engagement
Recognizing the importance of a multi-sectoral approach, the government is also working to increase the involvement of the private sector and civil society in anti-corruption policies.
This inclusive strategy ensures that the fight against corruption is not solely the responsibility of the government but is a collective effort involving all segments of society.
Innovative Strategies and Capacity Building
To effectively tackle corruption, the Al-Awadi government is developing innovative training programs and technical assistance initiatives. These measures are designed to equip public officials with the necessary skills and knowledge to combat corruption in their respective domains.
The Role of Transparency in Public and Private Sectors
Transparency is a key component of the government's anti-corruption strategy. By promoting transparency in both public and private sectors, the government is working to create a culture of integrity and accountability. This is crucial in building a society where corruption is not tolerated and where citizens can have confidence in their institutions.
Conclusion
The Al-Awady government's fight against corruption is a multifaceted effort that involves international cooperation, institutional strengthening, private sector engagement, and innovative capacity-building strategies. Through these initiatives, the government seeks to create a more transparent and accountable system that benefits all citizens.

Al-Awady: The government stresses the need to continue fighting corruption and all forms of violations of the law
9/1/2024
Government spokesman Bassem Al Awadi said today, Sunday, that the government stresses the need to continue fighting corruption and all forms of violations of the law, in continuous and close cooperation with the judicial and legislative authorities.
Al-Awadi said in a statement received by {Euphrates News} that "the government is following up, based on its commitment and legal responsibilities, the misleading campaigns that aim to obstruct its work in various fields, including what was reported of inaccurate information that contains innuendo, and some of which included direct accusations against the government regarding issues that are currently under judicial review," stressing that "the executive authority is awaiting what it will issue in this regard, with the government's continued emphasis on adhering to the law and respecting judicial decisions."
He added, "The government stresses the need to continue fighting corruption and all forms of infringement of the law, in continuous and close cooperation with the judicial and legislative authorities. It also relies in this regard on the vigilance and awareness of the citizen so that he does not fall victim to those who distort the facts and deliberately mislead public opinion."
Al-Awadi pointed out that “there are those who are working to drag the government and distract it from its national approach through desperate attempts that do not stand up to the real and actual legal procedures that the government is working to implement and support.” The past two years of the government’s term have proven the strength of the will in this direction, and the continuous determination to implement reforms and not to be lenient in public rights, no matter the pressures and consequences.

Iraq did not follow Kuwait's revalue path. The Untied States pulled back on financial support for Iraq's revalue shortly after the invasion was over when they made the decision that were not in alignment with economic growth for Iraq. It's been 20 years and the currency still has not been revalued...
We are learning more about why including issues like the IMF will not support a currency adjustment until the county has more income streams outside the oil industry, implementing banking reform that ties into international banking standards and providing housing for the hundred of thousands of people who have been misplaced due to decades of war, not to mention...corruption.

Question: "How is Iraq going to do business in the international market with such a low currency rate?"
This is why Iraq will need to increase the value of its currency. Currency values... act as a silent force influencing a country's global competitiveness. When a country's currency value is low it can impact it's ability to compete...Iraq's top trading partners are China, India, South Korea and on the sidelines Iran. However things are about to change and fast. The development road project places Iraq right in the middle of the global financial markets. [We] have little doubt the Iraqi dinar will increase in value but we don't know when or how much.
