World Bank: Recent reforms in Iraq pave the way for further progress

“In 2016/2017, Iraq has been able to implement fundamental changes in the local regulatory framework in two main areas: starting business and obtaining credit,” the World Bank said in a recent 2018 Doing Business business titled “Equal Opportunities for All”.”Starting a business is easier in Iraq by combining multiple registration procedures and shortening the time required to register companies. Entrepreneurs are no longer required to register their companies independently with the General Authority for Taxation, and the time required to register companies has been reduced due to the increased resources available in registration departments and the improvement of the electronic registration system.

“Iraq has been working to improve access to credit information by launching a credit registry run by the Central Bank of Iraq. As of January 1, 2017, this register included 234,967 clients and 4,877 commercial borrowers, and provided information on their prospective history over the past five years. ”

Breitling (Dinar Guru)  The best strategy you can have is to be able to put different situations in front of you and have a game plan for each and every one of them that comes down.  The top leaders in our country actually put together a strategy, they don’t just pick an A to Z strategy process.  That would mean they know everything, that they would know exactly what’s coming down the road.  And that’s not the case.  That’s never the case.  You have to know the different variables coming down the road and the different possibilities…I want to talk about the rate, there are articles coming out that we have Saudi Arabia pointing their fingers at Iran saying…these missiles coming from Yemen – that’s a declaration of war…If there’s going to be an Islamic civil war that’s going to affect Iraq right?  Absolutely it is…remember the Iraqi dinar is completely manipulated..If…IF…there is an Islamic civil war…It’s not a threat to $1.17...

Dr. Clarke (Dinar Guru) –   Over the years, there has been more than 1 Plan, to substantially increase the value of Iraq’s currency, as well as Vietnam’s currency. We only talk about the Dinar & the Dong, because these are the only 2 currencies, we have interest in. We believe that all other currencies for now, are simply “Not a good investment”, too speculative, not timed right, and fraught with too many disqualifying factors, for substantial increase, anytime soon, if EVER.  We have NO strong evidence to the contrary. However, the Iraq Dinar and the Vietnam Dong is different. We believe that BOTH of these, are a VERY GOOD Gamble, and we don’t see that changing.  All of you that say, “Nobody knows the timing”, would be Wrong. There ARE those that know EXACTLY when these 2 currencies will increase substantially. They know the Day and the Rates. Make No Mistake…   [post 1 of 3….stay tuned]

And all we’re getting is the same old budget where expenditures exceed revenue. The existing political class is failing the Iraqi people. Like Mark Twain said, “Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.

Why is Baghdad paying salaries of Kurdistan employees?

BAGHDAD — Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi intends to have the federal government adopt a policy of paying civil servants’ salaries in Iraqi Kurdistan without mediation from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). This is considered a substantial improvement in the relationship between the federal government and Kurdish citizens in Iraqi Kurdistan, and the move is expected to strike at the very heart of Kurdistan’s economy and undermine Erbil’s authority, as it cannot refuse such an offer…

Kirkuk: Asking the Next Big Questions

Will the Kurdish government join forces with the central Iraqi government in Baghdad to govern Kirkuk?

Before the ISF staged its operation, there had been rumors that the faction of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) party led by the Talabani family proposed jointly governing Kirkuk province with Baghdad. In seeming support of the rumors, the Talabani faction ordered Kurdish peshmerga fighters to withdraw and to allow ISF to retake some of the energy installations in the city. It’s still uncertain, however, if there’s a deal in place between the PUK and Baghdad to jointly manage the province’s government or its oil and natural gas resources. That a deal would exist makes sense given the longstanding divisions between the PUK and rival Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP), which controls much of the economy in Iraqi Kurdistan.

Will Baghdad maintain control of Kirkuk’s oil exports?

It almost certainly will, at least in some capacity. For the last three years the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has been able to export oil produced at the Bai Hassan oil field and the Avanah and Baba Gurgur formations of the Kirkuk oil field, given it had effectively appropriated and incorporated the fields into its own energy sector. The federal government is now in control of those fields and could use them in negotiations with the KRG. But, though Baghdad plans to rebuild its own pipeline to export oil from Kirkuk,
right now all export infrastructure from the city goes through Kurdish-controlled territory, which could complicate Baghdad’s ability to sell the oil Kirkuk produces. Baghdad, recognizing its constraints, could offer the KRG joint administration of the oil resources or continue transit contracts with it to distribute Iraq’s oil wealth. Alternatively, it could shut off production in Kirkuk to increase financial pressure on the Kurdish government. Thus, there’s the chance that Iraq’s northern oil exports — which amount to around 550,000
barrels per day — could decline by as much as 300,000 bpd. In the long run, Baghdad hopes to boost Kirkuk’s production to above 1 million bpd.

What will KRG President Massoud Barzani and his party, the KDP, do next?

The loss of control over parts of Kirkuk will weaken the KRG’s position, but it will weaken the KDP even more. Barzani was already facing criticism for extending his presidential mandate that originally was set to end in August 2015. Though he has supported parliamentary and presidential elections scheduled for Nov. 1, it’s not clear that they will actually be held. To rebuild some of his support, Barzani could tap into nationalistic sentiments by painting pro-PUK segments of the peshmerga, which withdrew from Kirkuk when Baghdad entered, as traitors and by holding fast to his calls for Kurdish independence from Iraq. It’s more likely, however, that the weakened KDP will reduce its demands on Baghdad to facilitate negotiations…

Kurdish source: Nuri al-Maliki allowed Peshmerga to extend for a share of oil smuggler

Revealed a leader in the Kurdish National Union Party about a deal was the former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki had held with the President of the Kurdistan region Massoud Barzani, while planning for a second term in 2010

The Kurdish leader said that a secret agreement signed between Maliki and Barzani stipulates that Maliki get a percentage of Kurdish oil smuggled, and be a partner with the Barzani family in the proceeds of oil smuggling, either from Kirkuk or the region in exchange for allowing the expansion of the Peshmerga in the disputed areas, and that gave a pledge Barzani has joined Kirkuk in Kurdistan and turned a blind eye to the impoverishment of the main neighborhoods of the oil-rich city.

The source pointed to the leaks of a private dialogue between Barzani and Maliki in 2010, in which the latter said that the western region of Iraq does not mean much, and is sure that Anbar, Nineveh, Diyala and Kirkuk will not be under the control of Baghdad, and is ready to give up those areas, To choose any area to be included in Kurdistan in exchange for the Kurds support Maliki in keeping him at the head of the executive authority in Iraq,

A leader in the National Alliance said that Maliki is in a state of hysteria because of political gains achieved by Abadi, and that he was disappointed with any victory in the upcoming elections due to the broad popularity of Abadi as a result of his skill in dealing with the referendum crisis and his success in restoring the disputed areas, Without armed clashes with the Peshmerga.

The source, who preferred to keep his name to avoid embarrassment, that Maliki continues contacts with Iranian leaders in search of an opportunity to restore some of the presence in the Iraqi Shiite circles, seeking the leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his adviser Qassem Soleimani support in the upcoming elections, The existence of an international conspiracy to postpone the elections and keep Abbadi two more years in office.

The source said Maliki asked Kassim Soleimani if ​​Iran would continue to support Abadi and provide a basket of gains to the Iraqi prime minister to ensure his political future? How is Iran’s support for Abadi balanced with Turkish and American support? Sulaimani replied: “Ebadi managed the crisis with the mentality of the state man and achieved a rare state of balance between all parties, and he deserves all of their support.”

BGG ~ So it becomes clearer and clearer as to why the Kurds didn’t use their critical “swing vote” against Maliki when they could have. Barzani was “on the take” and in bed with him all along…

I’m not sure I have much sympathy left for him these days…
