Why advises Iraq not to raise the price of a barrel of oil in the port of 2022?
  
{Economic: Al Furat News} The economist, Hamza Al-Jawahiri, advised the federal government not to raise the price of a barrel of oil in the 2022 budget and to keep it as it is.
 

Al-Jawahiri explained via {Euphrates News} that: "It is in Iraq's economic interest to keep the price of a barrel of oil in the 2022 budget as it is and not to raise it, and to exploit the additional oil revenues from the price difference per barrel in sustainable development projects, provided that it is far from the hands of corruption and spoilers."
He stressed, "the need not to link the change in the exchange rate of the dollar in the country to the rise in oil prices, because the dollar is related to the country's internal economy, while oil and its revenues have a different economy that can improve the economic reality in the country significantly through investment projects and development funds."
Al-Jawahiri pointed out that "there are economic steps with economic feasibility in the future that will be able to improve the economic reality in general."
The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed through Al-Furat News about the features of the financial budget for the current year 2022, which is very similar to the budget for the year 2021, in terms of operating and investment doors and others.
Salih identified three factors that should be remedied before hasty thinking about adjusting the average return on oil barrels for the purposes of the 2022 budget. Financial management, i.e. 3% of the country's gross domestic product.
While the financial expert Salah Nouri expected that the budget for the year 2022 will be larger than last year, due to the presence of ruling expenses, the most important of which is security after the recent security developments in the country
However, a member of the former Parliamentary Finance Committee, Sherwan Mirza, expected that 2022 would be free from the federal budget - to delay the formation of the government, which needs more than a month, after which the budget law is studied and sent to the House of Representatives.
And that studying the budget in the House of Representatives may take more than two months, and the continuation of the disbursement of the 1/12 allocations.
As for the Iraqi Minister of Finance, Ali Abdul-Amir Allawi, he said earlier that the Iraqi government had adopted in the draft federal general budget for Iraq for the year 2022 the price of a barrel of exported oil at 50 dollars, compared to 70.47 dollars, the selling price of a barrel of oil (Brent crude).
 The Ministry of Oil announced the total exports and revenues achieved for the month of January.
According to the preliminary statistics issued by the Iraqi Oil Marketing Company "SOMO", {Al-Furat News} received a copy of it, the amount of crude oil exports amounted to (99) million (286) thousand and (78) barrels, with revenues amounting to (8.27) billion dollars.
The statistics indicated that the total quantities of crude oil exported for the month of last January from oil fields in central and southern Iraq amounted to (96) million (430) thousand and (596) barrels, while from Kirkuk fields through Ceyhan port, the exported quantities reached (2) ) One million and (545) thousand and (656) barrels.

Agreed!!!🤣😂👍🇺🇸


I kinda like “ Explosive “ ... definitely makes people stand up and take notice.


As a former Abrams Tank Commander “ I love the smell of Cordite in the morning, anytime of the day or night for that matter !!! That’s the smell of Victory “ ... you may quote me.

 

Too bad we have such feckless, hapless, moronic, amateurish brain dead leaders. There’s quite a few more adjectives I would use, but everyone here catches my drift.

And between, "the difference between the two prices above is equal to 23.240 trillion dinars."  

  

He added, "The internal debt of Iraq is 68.214 trillion dinars, and the Ministry of Finance will pay at the current exchange rate 47.044 billion dollars to pay the value of the internal debt, while the Ministry of Finance will pay 61.014 billion dollars at the old exchange rate to pay the value of the internal debt, and the difference between the two prices is 13.970 billion dollars." .  

  

And he stated, "The total financial losses for Iraq in 2022 as a result of returning to the old exchange rate will be about $34.757 billion, and this amount is equivalent to seven times Syria's budget and more than twice Jordan's budget in 2022."  

  

He concluded, "This amount is sufficient to complete the port of Faw in its three phases and to complete most of the necessary infrastructure to connect with the Silk Road, which subsequently leads to an effective contribution to providing job opportunities and confronting and reducing poverty."

Adviser to the Prime Minister: The financial deficit will disappear and the rise in oil will have negative effects on Iraq
  
{Economic: Al Furat News} The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, expected the "disappearance" of the financial deficit in the federal financial budget with the continued rise in oil prices globally.

Saleh told {Euphrates News}: "The economic situation in Iraq in light of the high rise in oil prices will witness a remarkable improvement, as will the general financial situation, and at the very least, the financial deficit of budgets will disappear if oil prices continue in this way."

Saleh added, "However, there are global negative effects on this rise, because the rise in fuel is global and Iraq is an importing country, which will lead to bearing the inflation of imported materials. Food, because these two countries produce 30% of the world's grain.

Saleh added, "Iraq and the world will receive high inflationary waves."

It is noteworthy that with the escalation of the fighting in Ukraine, it seems that Iraq will be affected, like other countries, but the degree of its impact will be great, according to experts who pointed to 3 strategic sectors that will face major challenges due to the war: wheat, arms deals and oil.
