📊 Iraq’s 5-Year Plan Shifts Focus: Non-Oil Revenues, Services, and Smarter Spending 🚀
“Planning Beyond Oil: Flexibility, Innovation, and Local Priorities”
🗓️ Buratha News | Sept 6, 2025
🏛️ Ministry of Planning: Key Highlights from the 2023–2028 Development Strategy
The Iraqi Ministry of Planning is taking a decisive turn away from oil dependency, focusing its latest five-year planon activating non-oil revenues and ensuring projects directly benefit citizens.
🔑 1. Plan Structure & Vision:
The plan is flexible and responsive to variables like:
Economic volatility
Climate change
Political instability
Global oil price swings
Built on two main paths:
Innovation in addressing persistent challenges
Programmed development to ensure balance between short-term shocks and long-term stability
💼 2. Diversifying the Economy:
The ministry is actively shifting toward non-oil sectors, including:
🌾 Agriculture
🏭 Industry
🏖️ Tourism
💰 Tax reform to improve and expand domestic revenue
“We must reduce the impact of both global and local variables by diversifying revenue sources.” – Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi
🧱 3. Prioritizing Essential Services:
The government will prioritize projects based on:
Service urgency (sewage, water, schools)
Spatial/development gaps between governorates
Strategic sectors like education, roads, industry, and agriculture
📍Example:
If a governorate lacks sewage systems → Sewage projects get priority
Another governorate with water issues → Water projects prioritized
📌 4. Project Oversight & Implementation:
No project is executed without feasibility studies and inclusion in the national plan
Ministry follows up on:
Project progress
Deviations or errors
Issuing directives to fix delays
Coordination ongoing with ministries, governorates, and implementing companies
⚠️ 5. Challenges Noted:
Project delays often caused by:
Disputes between implementing firms and beneficiaries
Lack of coordination
Budget constraints
The ministry is actively intervening and coordinating to resolve bottlenecks
🧠 Bottom Line:
Iraq’s 2023–2028 plan signals a serious move toward economic reform — but success depends on real execution, inter-agency cooperation, and breaking free from oil dependency.

🟣 FIREFLY Report Boots on the Ground Update
🟣 FIREFLY Report (Boots on the Ground):
🗣️ Saleh:
Emphasizing e-wallet security – banking systems are stable
Says deleting the zeros will bring security & stability
Pushes the message that monetary reform is underway
🟢 Frank26 Response:
Confirms e-wallet = key part of monetary reform
It's a tool to collect the 3-zero notes
Encouraged by the digital infrastructure being rolled out
💡 E-Wallet Gamechanger:
FIREFLY shares excitement:
Iraqis can now buy items globally using dinar
“That’s a first” – the system is ready, just missing a real exchange rate
🎯 Frank:
Yes, it’s a huge leap
The e-wallet works… but the dinar still lacks international demand without a proper rate
“It needs a rate the world wants.”
❓ Delay Question – What's the Holdup?
Frank’s take:
“We’re not delayed. We’re waiting for Trump.”
Believes an upcoming Trump global announcement will be a “kissing cousin” to the RI (Reinstatement), not directly linked… but closely related.
📌 Summary:
Iraq is digitally ready: e-wallets active, citizens can transact globally
The 3-zero note collection continues
Only missing piece? A new exchange rate
Frank holds firm: watching for global triggers, especially involving Trump

🇮🇶 Between Revenue Promises & Deficit Realities: What Iraq’s Oil Increase Really Means 🛢️💰
🇮🇶 Between Revenue Promises & Deficit Realities: What Iraq’s Oil Increase Really Means 🛢️💰
🔹 Baghdad’s Dilemma:
Iraq is caught in a familiar paradox — more oil, more revenue, but still not enough to solve its deep-rooted economic problems.
With a ballooning deficit, rising public sector wages, and heavy subsidies, even small gains in oil production are seen as a financial lifeline.
🔍 Key Highlights:
📈 Production Bump – But Just a Nudge:
OPEC+ approved an increase of 137,000 barrels/day starting October 2025.
Iraq’s share? Just +17,000 barrels/day, taking its total to 4.137 million barrels/day.
This is part of a gradual reversal of 2023 voluntary cuts.
💸 Limited Relief from a Growing Deficit:
While helpful, experts agree this increase only provides “a little breathing room.”
Its benefit is conditional on:
Stable oil prices, and
Efficient resource management – something Baghdad continues to struggle with.
⚠️ The Bigger Problem:
“Is it enough for Iraq to breathe a little every time oil goes up?”
No, say analysts.
The real issue is Iraq’s rentier economic model, where the state is overly reliant on oil, and every global price shockbecomes a national crisis.
🧱 Structural Problems:
No diversified economy
Weak domestic production
Excessive dependence on OPEC+ quotas and external factors
🌐 Geopolitical Risks Loom:
U.S. Sanctions Alert 🚨
Accusations of Iranian-Iraqi oil smuggling are triggering sanctions against Iraqi businessmen.
If Iraq’s main exporter SOMO is hit, it could:
Undermine revenue gains
Disrupt exports
Further entangle Iraq in global political tensions
🧠 Analyst Consensus:
Iraq may get temporary fiscal relief,
But without serious reform, the country will keep repeating the same crisis cycle with every dip or rise in oil.
Oil is a bandage, not a cure.
📌 Final Thought:
Iraq doesn't just need more oil — it needs a plan.
Until then, production gains are just small victories in a losing battle against a deep structural deficit.
