JAPANESE LOANS TO HELP IRAQ REPAIR DAMAGE TO ELECTRICITY SECTOR

Iraq, January 11, 2017 Japan has agreed to lend Iraq up to 27.2 billion yen (S$337 million) to rebuild damaged electricity infrastructure, especially in areas recaptured from Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), its Baghdad embassy said on Tuesday (Jan 10). Tokyo also intends to sign off on another loan worth 21.5 billion yen for a project to repair a thermal power station in the southern province of Basra. Iraq's economy has been hit by the plunge in world oil prices since mid-2014 and the country is expected to have a financing gap of 21 trillion dinar (S$25.5 billion) this year unless it can secure more funding, an IMF document obtained by Reuters last year showed. The cost of fighting ISIS militants is another burden on the budget. The loan was signed during a visit to Iraq by Japanese State Minister for Foreign Affairs Kentaro Sonoura. An embassy statement said Japan intended to make additional contributions of approximately US$100 million for "humanitarian assistance and support for the stabilisation of liberated areas through international organizations." Iraq is fighting with the help of a US-led coalition to drive ISIS militants from the north of the country.   straitstimes http://iraqdailyjournal.com/story-z14596234

PM BARZANI THANKS JAPAN FOR LOAN support AS IT OPENS CONSULATE IN ERBIL

Iraq, January 12, 2017 Japan opened its consulate in the Kurdish capital of Erbil on Wednesday following meetings between the country’s Foreign Minister Kentaro Sonoura and senior Kurdish officials, including the president and prime minister. In a ceremony attended by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani and other senior officials, the Japanese consulate opened its doors for the first time on Wednesday, joining dozens of other countries who have representation in the Kurdistan Region. Earlier in the day, President Masoud Barzani received Sonoura and his accompanying delegation to discuss bilateral relations and the ongoing war against ISIS. “Part of Mr. Sonoura's visit to the Kurdistan Region was to officially open the Consulate of Japan to the Kurdistan Region which will inevitably lead to opening more doors of cooperation between the Kurdistan Region and Japan,” a statement from the Kurdish presidency read. Japan has provided Iraq, including the Kurdistan Region, with what it terms “strategic loans” to help rebuild infrastructure, including a major water treatment project in Halabja worth more than $100 million. PM Barzani expressed his appreciation to Japan for their continued support, “including Tokyo’s insistence on guaranteeing Kurdistan Region’s share in the loans lent to Iraq,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement following his meeting with Sonoura. Baghdad and Erbil have had disagreements since 2014 over the distribution of the country’s revenue and budget, which was then extended to whether or not Baghdad will share with the Kurdish government foreign loans received as part of packages to help finance Iraq’s struggling economy following low oil prices and the war against ISIS. Last week the Iraqi government was given a loan guarantee worth $1 billion from the US, but it is not clear whether Erbil will receive its fair share, although the US State Department said on Tuesday it would include the Kurdish region. “[W]e believe that the sovereign loan guarantee will help the Government of Iraq meet its – the needs of all Iraqis, and by all Iraqis I mean including those in the Kurdistan Region,” Deputy State Department Spokesperson Mark Toner said. According to official figures, trade between Kurdistan Region and Japan was more than $150 million in 2015. rudaw http://iraqdailyjournal.com/story-z14604666
