LATEST FROM PIMPY, 16 SEPT

All kinds of changes happening over in Iraq. People have been bombarding me with questions. Let's go over this because this is something I mentioned earlier and then again I'm the bad guy.
It's something you should be aware of that it might happen...Take a look at the price of Brent Crude - $74 a barrel. What is the budget set by Iraq for the
cost? $70. They're okay but it has dipped slightly below there. It's back up above $71 which is good but man, that particular cost per barrel IMO I thought was too high and I expressed my opinion back when they first did it ."BECAUSE THE WRONG PATH WAS A PROGRAM RATE BY FRANK26, 16 SEPT

Al-Sudani: Iraq today is on the right path
9/14/2024
Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, during a dialogue seminar by the Anki Foundation for Studies and Research on the path to development, in the presence of Mr. Al-Hakim:
Iraq depends on oil as the only source to cover its expenses, which have begun to increase.
The development path needs more study and clarification.
We must think properly to activate sectors that support oil.
- There must be projects that suit Iraq to be a focus of development.
We have started establishing and implementing the development road project, which will transform Iraq into an open country.
We have unnatural materials that have not been exploited in industries and the strategic location of Iraq.
We are in the planning, design and other studies phase and we have approached the World Bank to begin implementing the development road from Basra to Mosul.
Capital finds opportunity in Iraq amid security and political stability
- Many capitals want to invest in Iraq
Iraq today is on the right track
