After a "difficult labor", the 2025 budget tables finally find their way to the Council of Ministers PoliticsbreakingMinistry of FinanceFederal BudgetBudget tables 2025-02-24 14:34 Share font Shafaq News/ A responsible source in the Iraqi Ministry of Finance stated on Monday that the delay in sending the federal budget tables to the Council of Ministers is related to amendments to Article 12 of the Budget Law. The Iraqi parliament recently approved an amendment to the general budget related to Article 12, which settles a dispute between the Kurdistan Region and the federal government over receiving the region’s oil. In summary, the Iraqi Parliament voted in June 2023 on the draft general budget law for the fiscal years (2023, 2024, 2025), to approve special budget tables for those years, which will be sent by the Iraqi government to Parliament for voting. The government source told Shafaq News Agency, "The Ministry of Finance has been working for some time on preparing the general budget tables for the year 2025, in order to send them to the Council of Ministers for approval." He pointed out that "the Ministry of Finance will finish preparing the tables and send them to the Council of Ministers for voting on them in the middle of next month," noting that "the Council of Ministers will vote on the tables without delay and then send them to the House of Representatives for voting on them." The Federal Ministry of Oil announced yesterday, Sunday, the completion of the necessary procedures to complete the export of oil produced in the Kurdistan Region via the Turkish port of Ceyhan, stressing that this step comes in accordance with the mechanisms specified in the budget law and its amendment, and within the production ceiling set for Iraq in the OPEC organization. The Kurdistan Regional Government's negotiating delegation responded to the Ministry of Oil's announcement by calling on the federal government to implement its obligations before proceeding with the oil export process. The delegation explained that despite the regional government’s confirmation of its commitment to implementing the first amendment law to the federal general budget law, which relates to re-exporting oil produced from the region’s fields to the Turkish port of Ceyhan via SOMO, implementing the law requires agreement on several basic points, including determining the quantities allocated for local consumption in the region, in line with actual needs, similar to the rest of Iraq, and establishing a clear and specific mechanism for paying the dues of production and transportation companies to the regional government, in accordance with what is stated in the law. https://www.shafaq.com/ar/سیاسة/بعد-مخاض-عسير-جداول-موازنة-2025-تجد-طريقها-خيرا-لمجلس-الوزرا10 points

"Huge" wealth..

A qualitative leap, confirmed Abdul Hassan Al-Ziyadi, a member of the Businessmen Union Council.IraqiThe new government’s plans in the industrial field, especially its orientation towards localizing precious metals, will represent a qualitative leap for Iraq, and will enable it to achieve leaps at the level ofGlobalIn the field of investment. Al-Ziyadi said that the project of localizing precious or rare materials, or the rare metals industry, is one of the successful projects in Iraq, because the landIraqIt contains sufficient and surplus raw materials to launch such projects. He pointed out thatIraqIt has rare and precious resources, and is one of the good and fruitful spots for gold, and other projects such as phosphate, and other precious metals, especially in Anbar Governorate. Al-Ziyadi explained thatIraqHe began to think about using these resources and supporting the localization project to develop and benefit from it, stressing that the current government is ready to work and develop the work of its institutions, and direct it towards investment and encouraging investments. He pointed out thatIraqHe began to think about building economic institutions of good benefit, and he also began to think about the precious metals that he could exploit to develop his economy. Huge wealth awaits investment and is consideredIraqA country rich in its diverse mineral resources, as these resources are spread across its various governorates, and Anbar Governorate is the richest governorate in this field. *According to the Iraqi Phosphate General Company, affiliated with the Ministry of Industry, surveys have revealed the availability of huge and confirmed reserves of phosphate amounting to about two billion confirmed and unexploited tons, with unconfirmed quantities that may exceed 7 billion tons. *Iron ore, as its presence is particularly concentrated in the desert southwest of Anbar, where the underground reserve is estimated at about 60 million tons. *Anbar governorates also have a large reserve of uranium in the Akashat area within the phosphate layer formations in the Western Desert. *Anbar's mineral resources do not stop there, as silica is concentrated in the Western Desert region, and appears in the form of layers of white sand, where the reserve amounts to about 75 million tons. *As for gold, it is found in the governorates of Anbar and western Nineveh. * Huge quantities of sulfur are concentrated in Anbar, Salah al-Din and Nineveh, and the reserves are estimated at more than 600 million tons. * As for sodium sulfur, it is widespread in Salah al-Din Governorate and the general reserve is estimated at about 22 million tons. * As for quartzite, it is widespread in the Rutba area in Anbar and its reserves are estimated at about 16 million tons. * Celestite (strontium sulfur) is widespread in the governorates of Najaf and Karbala, where it appears in the form of sandy rock lenses, and the country's reserve is estimated at about 0.8 million tons that are not exploited. * Glass, its presence is concentrated in Anbar Governorate in the form of shiny surface sand in the plains and plateaus, and the existing quantities are estimated at about 400 million cubic meters. * Lead is found in the governorates of Dohuk and Sulaymaniyah in the Kurdistan Region in the form of sedimentary carbonate rocks, and the reserve is estimated at more than 50 million tons. *Statistics indicate the presence of dolomite in the provinces of Anbar and Muthanna, where the country's reserves are estimated at about 330 million tons. *As for gypsum, it is concentrated in Nineveh, Kirkuk and Salah al-Din, and its reserves are estimated at about 130 million tons. *Lime is found in Anbar, Muthanna, Najaf, Nineveh and Kurdistan, and its reserves are estimated at about 8 thousand million tons. *Silver is found in the regions of KurdistanIraqWithin volcanic rocks. * Bauxite is concentrated in Anbar, and its reserves are estimated at about one million tons. * Feldspar sands are concentrated in Najaf Governorate, and its reserves are estimated at about 2.3 million tons. * Quartz is concentrated in Anbar and the city of Faw, located on the waters of the Arabian Gulf in Basra, where its reserves are estimated at about 855 million cubic meters. * As for copper, it is found in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, and its volume estimates vary between 10 and 20 million tons. Reducing the exit of currency To talk about the extent of the decision's impact on the market, economic expert Salah Nouri believed that it is too early to determine the level of prices and quality for the gold and jewelry industry, because the Cabinet's decision has not yet begun to be implemented. Nouri explained that importing gold and precious metals constitutes a high percentage of total imports, and therefore this decision will contribute to reducing the exit of foreign currency (dollar) from the country, noting that the Ministry of Trade has been tasked with facilitating the import of raw materials for manufacturing purposes in coordination with the Central Bank. He added that the manufacture of gold and jewelry insideIraqIt is supposed to make its local prices lower than its import price, warning that this industry may face the risks of fluctuations in global gold prices, which may in turn affect the stability of the local market. Diversifying budget resources Government advisor Alaa Al-Fahd confirmed that activating the precious metals localization sector will have an effective role in bringing outIraqFrom total dependence on oil as a major source of budget revenues. Al-Fahd said thatIraqToday, it has the ability to diversify its sources of income by localizing the precious metals industry, which will have a positive impact on the economy.IraqiBy diversifying revenues and activating this vital industry, noting thatIraqHe has large reserves of gold that can be exploited in local manufacturing instead of importing ready-made gold jewelry from abroad. Al-Fahd explained that Iraqi lands are rich in many undiscovered precious metals, and that these potential discoveries will directly contribute to increasing reserves and diversifying the economy, stressing that this requires conducting economic feasibility studies to determine the extent of the impact of these minerals and activating the industry. He stressed that the matter is not limited to owning these minerals, but rather requires developing realistic plans to activate these industries and develop the economy, stressing that paying attention to these industries and localizing them in Iraq, in addition to providing facilities and attracting foreign investments, will have a direct impact on the economyIraqiAl -Fahd pointed out that this requires a government decision, and that this decision is available today, and it is a message to attract development investments in this field to activate the mining industry in Iraq, especially since there is a basis and ownership of these natural resources that can be exploited to strengthen the economy. He explained that supporting the budget by activating this sector is inevitable, as any industry will contribute to raising production capacities and increasing production, which leads to the development and activation of the industry, pointing out thatIraqThese transformation industries are needed to exploit the available infrastructure for minerals. Al-Fahd explained that all opportunities are available today for investment in this field, and that investment in this sector is no less important than investment in any other sectors that contribute to developing the economy and supporting the budget, especially in light of the fluctuations in oil prices, stressing the need to search for alternative sources of income and revitalizing the industrial, agricultural and tourism sectors. Al-Fahd stressed that these sectors can contribute effectively to achieving revenues and diversifying the economy, indicating thatIraqHe should follow suit.CountriesThe Arab and Gulf countries have emerged from their dependence on oil and have begun to stimulate other industries and develop their natural resources. https://www.alsumaria.tv/news/economy/517377/ثروات-هائلة-ماذا-تعرف-عن-المعادن-الثمينة-في-العراق؟7 points

REMEMBER, no one really knows what will happen, or when. They're simply stating their opinions based on what they perceive to be happening in Iraq... So, take everything with a grain of salt ... RON 2-25-2025 Mnt Goat If you are a financer and/or economists and really study how things work in the real world, it can be seen that increasing the rate of Iraqi dinar will make it more valuable and thus more companies outside of Iraq will want it. Better yet if you reinstate the dinar on the global trading platforms. Thus, the amount of trade won’t even matter and the dinar will be more acceptable and it will decrease the demand for the dollar on its own. Don’t forget also that when the dinar is reinstated it will be repeg off the sole dollar peg and pegged to a weighted basket of currencies. The next step is the in-country RV with the Project to Delete the Zeros. Who will want the dollar when the dinar is more valuable in Iraq? So, as investors we muddle through these trying times. We wait to see what the new Trump administration will do to help or hinder this situation in Iraq. 2-25-2025 MarkZ Article: “Iraq is redrawing its economic map: precious metals in the façade” The government moves to diversify its non- oil sectors. They are sitting on tremendous reserves and now they are developing them. There is much more in Iraq’s income then just oil. They have many gold, silver, and phosphate and precious metals. They have far more resources now then what they did under Saadam Hussein when the Iraqi dinar was worth over $3.6 points

Yet to be seen. The Iranian militias are still operating in Iraq, the money laundering by Iran and its "agents" as Trump called them is still astronomical. When Trump was in office the first official term, Iraq CBI sold 50-70 Million USD a day. When Biden came in, it jumped to 150-170 million each day. When Putin crushed the "agents" money laundering network in Ukraine, sales jumped another 100+ to 250-300 million. Everything I see does not indicate that Sudani has in fact split from the Globalists "Agents of Iran" as of yet.6 points

Iraq’s electricity: no longer rely on foreign fuel IraqiraqbreakingElectricity 2025-02-24 09:12 Share font Shafaq News/ On Monday, Iraq announced the launching of a plan to establish steam power plants with a capacity of 15,000 megawatts. During the Iraq Energy Conference and Exhibition, Minister of Electricity, Ziad Ali Fadhil, revealed that the new plants will rely on local fuel, stating, “We will no longer depend on foreign fuel,” according to a statement from the Ministry of Energy. He also highlighted the country's combined cycle projects, which do not require fuel, and the plan to generate 3,000 megawatts from renewable energy sources. "We have high coordination with the Oil Authority to secure the necessary fuel to operate the electricity generation units," said the Minister. Earlier this month, the Ministry disclosed the locations for the construction of the steam plants and noted that 100 local and international companies had expressed interest in the project. The plants will be spread across central, southern, middle Euphrates, and northern regions, with three investment models set to be presented to the interested companies. https://www.shafaq.com/en/Iraq/Iraq-s-electricity-no-longer-rely-on-foreign-fuel5 points

Out of debt Economic 02/24/2025 Bashir Khazal For many years, foreign debts have been a huge burden on the Iraqi state treasury, to pay off the debts of countries, banks and international organizations, due to the absurd wars that have been waged in the country since the 1980s, and after 2003 during the pursuit of ISIS gangs that were seizing cities and destroying their infrastructure, and the state’s revenues remained largely mortgaged to pay off those debts. However, the recent shift towards an effective and successful economic policy has led to Iraq’s depletion of the largest part of it, and it has become beyond the danger of the dictates of banks and creditors abroad. A step in the right direction for the current government in its program for developing the Iraqi economy. For the first time, the Iraqi state is getting rid of the burden of foreign debts that have shackled it economically after the war from 1980 to the present. Currently, the remaining debts to international parties constitute only less than 9 billion dollars to be paid from now until 2028, and the percentage of these debts in relation to the gross domestic product does not constitute a burden on the state, as they constitute an estimated 5 percent of the gross domestic product, and the global standard allows 60 percent of the gross domestic product to be foreign debts. At this stage, Iraq has become a well-fortified country in the matter of foreign debts. More precisely, it has become outside the risks of external debt, which gives the country a high credit rating in the field of global credit rating, with the existence of integrated coordination between the Central Bank of Iraq and the Ministry of Finance in paying debt dues, whether debt services "interest and installments" or paying debts at once, and it is also credited to the performance of these economic institutions that were able to take good steps despite the existence of cases of corruption here and there, which the government is still working to combat by all means. The practice of successful policies by the public finance on the issue of debts, through financial reinforcement to extinguish external debts, and borrowing at a lower rate, led to positive results that were reflected in their reality on the Iraqi economy as a whole, and by the year 2028 there will be no external debts due. Steps in the right direction in the government's economic policy that supports its foreign policy, and Iraq has the opportunity to transform into the most important global economic country, especially since foreign investments are keeping in mind that Iraq is a country with diverse resources and raw materials necessary for large strategic industries, a large portion of which is in the field of energy production. Despite the crisis and difficult conditions that the region and the regional environment in particular are going through, we see that Iraq has also succeeded in distancing itself as a state from conflicts and wars that could drain its wealth, capabilities, and human and natural resources. Successful policy is for the decision to be correct and effective in crises and to yield benefits that have multiple aspects in the present and the future. https://alsabaah.iq/110621-.html4 points
