Economic achievement

Mustafa Mohammed Ibrahim  
 Iraq economically achieved a new victory by issuing a bond (Euphrates) and comes after the issuance at the beginning of 2017 bond (Tigris) interest of 2.149 percent and the value of issuances of $ 1 million guaranteed by the US government. 

The recently issued 5-year-old sovereign sovereign bond (Euphrates), with an interest rate of 6.75 percent, is paid every six months, which is lower than the international Iraqi bond that has been traded on international secondary markets since 2006 to settle the debts of the Paris Club of 2028 with a benefit of 7.6 percent.

The bond was classified by Fitch Ratings B and the number of international investment companies that submitted for purchase and competed with about 350 international investment companies carrying investment portfolios increased by more than (12) trillion dollars and have applied for the purchase of the bond (Euphrates) Including the Abu Dhabi Investment Fund and the Arab Monetary Fund. One of the most important investment companies that have offered to buy the Iraqi Al Furat is the Education Fund in California and at the same time one of the richest funds in the American West Coast and the world. 

The sale took place on Wednesday, 2017/8/2 in London by the Underwriters. The bond was registered for sale and purchase in the Irish stock market as it uses the European Union standards, which is one of the most accessible and efficient financial markets. The lowest bond category is (200) Thousand dollars and increase complications, pointing out that the interest paid half a year. 

 This achievement comes after the efforts exerted by the Iraqi government, especially the negotiating delegation with the International Monetary Fund on the program of credit readiness, which gives Iraq ($ 5.3 billion) after the end of reviews with the International Monetary Fund, has worked negotiating delegation day and night with members of the International Monetary Fund In order to impose a restriction on Iraq may be difficult to  implement.

Thus, this great economic achievement came after the victory that was achieved on (Da'ash), especially the call of Prime Minister Dr. Haider Abadi towards the direction of economic reform and reconstruction and reconstruction of Iraq, especially the liberated areas of the desecration of criminals. 

 And here we can say that Iraq is able to achieve more progress and development and achievement in light of the return of confidence with the international financial institutions that are now aware that Iraq is on the verge of economic revival and has the fundamentals of basic development.

This coming Sunday is November 26. Right on time for the 4 million barrels of oil to be sold on the Dubai (UAE) Mercantile Exchange. Looks like the Iraqi Trade Bank is lining up for the "international" here. Likely implications on oil markets and adjustments. Maybe more talk on comparisons to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) and/or Brent crude oil pricing. I am not sure how this will affect agglomerate oil pricing but could favor pushing the rating upward into more favorable world oil prices to support the Iraqi budget considerations to include any excess oil revenues. Otherwise, "Why would Iraq do this???!!!" I would like to see other legislative initiatives (such as Article 140 and HCL) push through and implemented since this would support National Reconciliation viability as a means to support Iraqi internal stability for a very favorable investment environment (more than an A from the international credit agencies???!!!) and serve as icing on the cake.

Some very interesting news on Turkey Day

[mylilpony]

The trade bank of iraq was originally set up by the u.s. government after we invaded along with the cbi. The bank was to be a sister bank with the cbi and to help get the banking industry going and also for the citizens of iraq to do banking business. Originally this bank was to serve its purpose by 2008 and be dissolved, but as we can see that has not happened and now you see this bank opening an international branch in the UAE. This bank is the original that is taking the lead along with the rafidian and rasheed bank. You ever notice that the imf doesnt call for the trade bank of iraq to be reformed like the other ones?... hmmm

Thanks for the Breakdowns as usual Synopsis and GM, I like to point out on the legislative initiatives are already in place for both Article 140 and the HCL, which go back to the 2003 agreement which was was voted on but never implemented, until now with the actions of PM Abadi stating Federal Government oversight and presence in all matters. Borders, Ports, Oil wells, Security etc!!!  The way I see it once PM Abadi feels that he has all the piece to the puzzle in place, the legislative has his back. The one hiccup I see is the percentage of the Budget that PM Abadi and his adviser keep throwing out to the Kurds is the 12% rate, and they stated that according to the constitution which was agree upon, we are suppose to get 17%. Anyhow all these issue are being fine tuned soon to be!!!
