    The Exchange Rate of Foreign Currency in Economic Feasibility Studies

    Below are the central controls related to the exchange rate of the foreign currency to convert the project inputs and outputs from foreign currency to its equivalent in the local currency, and that is by calculating the net discounted present value standard and the internal return on investments in economic analysis that governs investment projects that costs excess one million dinars.

    Estimate the shadow price of foreign currency:

    1. It is necessary to put central controls to amend the official exchange rate * to reflect the shadow price of the foreign currency, and that is considered one of the necessary requirements to implement the net discounted present value standard and the internal return rate on investment in the economic calculation stated in the instructions, paragraph nine.

    The central controls for adjusting market prices distinguished a group of outputs and inputs traded internationally, where the projects production or usage of them is reflected on the abundance of foreign currency in the economy and thus project outputs or inputs used of such are considered purely foreign currency outputs or inputs.

    * What is meant by exchange rate: the number of units of foreign currency, expressed in dollar per one dinar.In particular the following outputs and inputs of foreign currency were distinguished:


    • Export-outputs.
    • Outputs marketed locally that substitute imports.
    • Imported inputs.
    • Inputs produced locally that usually go to exports.
    • Foreign labor.


    According to the pricing rules the value of the output and input (traded) is calculated using export prices (FOB) and import prices (CIF), according to what is listed in the pricing rules.

    In other words the pricing rules calculate what the project produces from foreign currency (quantity of exports multiplied by the export price (FOB) in foreign currency or the quantity of substitute imports multiplied by the import price (CIF) in foreign currency, as well as what the project uses from foreign currency and imported inputs multiplied by the import price (CIF) in foreign currency …. etc.).

    In a later step, project outputs and inputs must be converted from the foreign currency to its equivalent in local currency (dinars) by using a specific exchange rate for the foreign currency.

    2. Justifications for exchange-rate adjustment: there are a number of important and powerful arguments which support the view that the official exchange rate reduces the real value of foreign currency for purposes of calculating the economic national profitability for investment projects and hence for the purposes of investment planning. It is demonstrated in this context to call for assessing the dinar for less than (3.208) dollar (official exchange rate) when assessing project outputs and inputs of traded goods of exports, substitute imports and imports… etc.

    The justifications to call for the use of an exchange rate that is lower than the official exchange rate are:


    • The use of an exchange rate that is lower than the official rate is the appropriate action at the investment planning level to translate the country’s economic strategy aiming at stimulating central investments in the sectors that encourage the development of non-oil exports, as well as sectors that encourage the expansion of domestic production base in order to reduce imports and compensate it with local commodities. This helps to reduce reliance on foreign exchange earnings from crude oil exports and increases the share of non-oil sectors in the local production.
    • The application of the amended exchange rate on project imported inputs will assist in directing investments away from aggregated sectors dependent on imported inputs and the preference of those sectors that rely on locally produced inputs.
    • The use of the amended exchange rate helps to correct the balance in favor of the traded goods sectors compared to non-traded goods.
    • The real exchange rate has declined rapidly since the early seventies, through rapid rise of the level of prices and local costs which led by the steadiness of the official exchange rate to change in prices and actual local rate costs that gave an advantage for imported goods at the expense of locally produced goods, meaning that it led to deterioration of the competitiveness of alternative replacement goods and export commodities.
    • This action shows that the official exchange rate overestimates the value of the dinar, compared to the foreign currency and from the promoting goods substituting imports and export commodities point of view of.


    And in support to this view is the state’s utilization and in a broad approach to the customs and quantitative protection policies especially for consumer goods, as well as export subsidies that exports have through an amended export exchange rate.

    3. Estimate the amended exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar to be used in technical and economical feasibility studies and for (1.134) dollar per dinar. This price should be approved for 3 years until re-appreciation by the competent authorities.

    A "flashback recap" of a Live Q and A Call from about a year ago - on THE DAILY DINAR NEWS BLOG...

    In general terms – there were three main focal points of interest I wanted to cover and then allow listeners to ask whatever questions they liked.

    1) the SIGR report…


    2) the Gold Article…


    3) the IIER report…


    I started the conversation out last night by highlighting how crazy this campaign being fielded to contact our lawmakers and bank CEO’s and tell them how unfair it is they are getting to exchange (exchange is the right terminology BTW – NOT “CASH-IN”) at 32.00 per Dinar and we are not – is. It is nuts.


    Firstly, “they” are NOT being allowed to exchange “early” – or at 32.00 per Dinar. It makes you sound “stark raving MAD” to be caught saying such things. You would be better off barking at the moon. It is demeaning to the validity of a true currency play.


    Secondly, this is entirely the wrong way to approach them. I pointed out on the call that Poppy and I fielded a very successful such campaign a couple of years ago. However, we sat down and came up with a much different approach. It was designed to get answers and to approach our lawmakers with respect and as their constituents. Not like a bunch of lunatics. We had extraordinary participation (because it made sense) and we received a good response from lawmakers. It started the conversation in a reasonable manner.


    I asked one caller – “when was the last time you asked a banker for money and told him how unfair it was if he didn’t give it to you”??? Obviously – we chuckled…


    Another caller asked me if (as DC had relayed) – the “zero’s were raised” and the lower denominations were in circulation??


    I said plainly “no”…lower denominations being in circulation would (at the very least) imply there had been a value change. If there were no value change the lower denoms would not only be of little value, they would be such a hinderance – people might even throw them away just to get rid of them. So no – no lower denoms. I told the caller to check the
    CBI.iq website for “real” info on rate change.

    The “zero’s being raised” or “deleted” – as explained by any reasonable researcher, economist or authority – is simply the process removing the large (3 zero notes) from circulation.


    Referring to an Enorrste post from today on
    THE DINAR OBSERVER DAILY(you may want to put this on your favorites and check in several times a day – we to it often )

    “…I have never found a single article from the CBI or the IMF that equates “delete the zeros” to the idea of “move the decimal point.” Instead, the statements overwhelmingly come out to mean “remove the large notes from circulation.”


    Also – this recent internal memo put out by Wells Fargo is likely “push back” from this recent campaign. I pointed out that Pinnacle Bank published an article by an “affiliate” in their internal publication and then “highlighted it” in a similar internal memo a couple of years ago. It is just a defense mechanism. I’m sure Wells is tired of having their name dragged through the “internet rumor mill”. This is highly likely the reason for their vigorous denials about handling it in the future. They get so many useless calls – it isn’t worth the headache. Can you blame them??


    Further, for any bank, lawmaker, adviser or official to state the “Dinar is a scam” is nearly as foolish as some of the internet “Gurus”. It is the official currency of a COUNTRY. I pointed out (below) the post from yesterday’s
    DINAR OBSERVER DAILY
    – highlights page 94 of the quarterly SIGR report to THE US CONGRESS in April of 2012…
    __________________________________________________ _____________

    THIS REPORT WAS SENT TO CONGRESS LAST MAY. IT PLAINLY SHOWS IN THIS REPORT THEY EXPECTED THE DINAR TO REVALUE AT AROUND A DOLLAR IN 2013.

    We are seeing and hearing that the inflation rate is still climbing and they are pushing to get us our money?? This report is from page 84 of the massive SIGR report.





    BGG ~
    This is a screen shot from the “Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction” – Apr 2012, quarterly report to Congress. For members of our Government to say they have no idea what is going on here – means they haven’t read some very basic documents presented them.
    __________________________________________________ ______________

    I pointed out (last night) this is a highly speculative investment. We are, in no way, guaranteed anything. However, this SIGR report gives us some valuable insights…

    1) This is information given to the US CONGRESS on a quarterly basis… I find it hard to believe such an information source would intentionally mislead Congress. They tend to frown on such behavior. Which goes directly to the validity of this adventure – against all advice from Wells Fargo or other such naysayers.

    2) It points out there having been a legitimate “plan” – or time frame in motion…having been projected to be done in 2013. We are obviously in “over time” now.

    3) It gives us an idea as to who is in charge…the CoM – or Council of Ministers. Who do they answer to?? Maliki. Period. When is he likely to push this forward?? Historically – he has been a “weak Dinar” policy advocate. However, rumor from his own inner circle admits he can’t win a third term in office without some currency reform.

    I fully expect him to use every tool in his “wheel house” to win – his recent moves in Anbar and the disputed territories prove as much. Currency reform has to be a “biggie”. Though this WAS their thinking a couple of months ago – there is no promise it is still part of their political calculus. We shall see.

    4) Though no guarantee of the actual future plan they wind up engaging – this report points out an increase in value that would have taken the Dinar from “one-tenth of a cent” to a value “of slightly less than $1″..

    Another "FLASHBACK"...

    Economists Divided Over Deletion Of Zeros

    By Amina al-Dahabi for Al-Monitor.

    The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) has been attempting to delete three zeros from the Iraqi currency since 2003. This project has raised many concerns among the Iraqi public and within the business community, and Iraqi economists are divided…

    …Haider al-Abadi, the head of the Iraqi parliamentary Finance Committee, told Al-Monitor that while deleting zeros from the current currency is possible, this has been postponed until after parliamentary elections. He noted that studies are being carried out to ensure that, following the currency change, counterfeiting is limited and that Iraqis don’t go back to trading in the old currency.

    The step to delete zeros from the currency has been postponed several times, leading the parliamentary Economic Committee to demand that the CBI accelerate this project, as Al-Sharqiya reported. In a news conference held July 6, the Economic Committee confirmed that the deletion of zeros will lead to an increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar and will have positive repercussions, including a reduction in unemployment and poverty rates in the country.

    Crush Expected When Kuwaiti Banks Reopen Today

    March 24, 1991|From Reuters



    KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait — Thousands of Kuwaitis are expected to jam the country's banks today when they open for the first time since the end of the Iraqi occupation.

    Customers will be allowed to withdraw funds and to swap pre-invasion money for a new currency issued to make more than $1 billion in pre-invasion dinars stolen by the Iraqis worthless.

    "We expect a rush of people," said Issam Asousi, an executive with the Bank of Kuwait. He said it could be a chaotic first week because customers have a lot of questions about their accounts.

    Kuwaiti banks continued operating during the seven-month Iraqi occupation under managers brought in from Iraq, but they have been closed since the U.S.-led alliance ousted the Iraqi army from Kuwait a month ago.

    When the banks reopen today, customers will be able to withdraw up to 4,000 Kuwaiti dinars, equivalent to about $14,000 at pre-invasion exchange rates from their accounts, and to exchange a like amount for foreign currency.

    Balances of customers' accounts will go back to what they were on Aug. 1, a day before the invasion.

    Clients will not be able to exchange Iraqi currency issued during the occupation, when Baghdad pegged the rates of the strong Kuwaiti dinar to the far less valuable Iraqi dinar.

    The new Kuwaiti money will be exchanged for old at a one-to-one rate.

    BGG ~ Thanks to wmawhite for some facts on the subject.

    Hi BGG,

    Just thought I would drop you an email. I listened to the call, and was interested in what was said about Kuwait, if I may - I will add my 2 cents worth.

    You were spot on with what you said, I have a close friend who's father made a killing on the KWD. He bought from people who had fled the country and he paid pennies on the dollar (we are in Australia). He took the chance that Iraq would be kicked back out and he was right.

    When the money was reinstated, he exchanged it for AUD at a rate in the mid 3s. The interesting thing about it is, Iraq invaded in November 1990 (I think), they were kicked back out at the end of Feb 1991, the banks reopened with a brand new KWD in late March, that's not a bad time frame to get a currency designed, printed and made ready to use, also the time that the old KWD was valid was initially only for 2 months, then extended to 6, so it was valid until Sept 1991, interesting I think.

    Also the other thing that seems to be a "fact" in Dinar land is Bill Clinton used the Kuwait RV to pay off the debt. However, Clinton was not President in 91, he did not take office until 93, even I know that and I am an Aussie.

    Anyway thanks for the site and enjoy listening to your calls.

    Kind Regards,
    Kevin

    CONTINUOUS THREAD
    : THE SIEGE OF MOSUL ( PART OF OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE )

    Kurds Are Close to Retaking Mosul from ISIS
    President Obama and Congress hammer out a war authorization against ISIS ( * HEREINBELOW ) , the Iraqi Kurdish forces peshmerga are now surrounding the northern city of Mosul -- 280 miles to the north of Baghdad -- Kurdish officials said on Tuesday.

    Mosul is Iraq’s second largest city and the largest city controlled by ISIS, making it its Iraqi capital. Since the fall of the city in June 2014, ISIS has dominated the jihadi movements globally and attracted tens of thousands of extremists from around the world to join its ranks.

    Yet, ISIS has lost its momentum in Iraq after the US led international air campaign started in August 2014. Even though ISIS has suffered a series of defeats throughout Iraq since last October, it still controls big cities like Mosul, Tikrit and Fallujah.
    Liberating Mosul is crucial in defeating ISIS in Ira.“

    Peshmerga forces have advanced in the last few months to Mosul from the north, east and west. Our operations have cut ISIS maneuvers in these areas. We are now close to the city center and in some areas we are only 6 to 9 miles away from it. We have also controlled the main bridges in the areas of Aski and al-Kesk which are located on the main way between Mosul and Tal Afar”, said Lieutenant General Jamal Mohammed, the chief of staff of the peshmerga forces.

    The peshmerga now control the areas of Nineveh plains to the north of Mosul, the towns of al-Koweir and Makhmur to the east of the city and the towns of Aski and al-Kesk to the west of the city. However, to the south of the city, the Iraqi government forces, the Shiite militias and the Sunni tribes are still struggling to control Salahuddin province to complete the siege of Mosul.

    “We have reached the last available position in Aski and al-Kesk. Any further movement will be toward Mosul city center. We are waiting for orders in this regard. ISIS positions in Mosul have become within our artillery and rockets reach. We are constantly targeting them,” said Colonel Kamiran Hurami, a commander in the elite Zirvani forces within the peshmerga.

    The Iraqi government forces and its Shiite and Sunni allies have just finished another campaign to clear the city of Beiji, 130 miles to the north of Baghdad, leaving 500 Sunni tribal fighters to guard the city. The Iraqi forces still need to capture two more important towns in their way to Mosul, al-Sherqat and al-Qayara.

    These developments came two days after the announcement from General John Allen that the US led alliance is close to launching a major ground offensive in Iraq that would include 12 Iraqi brigades, supported and equipped by the United States.

    In the meantime. Mosul has witnessed over the last several days the heaviest air bombing since the start of the campaign in August. “I arrived after dropping the 16th bomb, thinking that the bombardment had stopped already, but as soon as I arrived, I was startled by dropping four more bombs,” said Maouris Milton, a blogger from Mosul.

    ​Strategic areas near Mosul retaken by Kurdish forces

    WASHINGTON DC - Backed by coalition air power, Kurdish forces have taken control over three strategic areas near Mosul and are ready to control more territories, the US military said in a statement.

    “Security Forces from the Kurdish region seized three bridgeheads on the west bank of the Tigris River, north of Mosul in formerly held Daesh (ISIS) areas,” the statement said. “Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) delivered precise and effective airstrikes on enemy positions near Mosul, in support of the Iraqi Government’s fight against ISIL,” it added, referring to the Islamic State group that is known as ISIS or ISIL.

    With coalition air support, Kurdish Peshmerga forces have been able to reverse territorial gains by ISIS in Nineveh province since last November. US military officials have hailed the bravery of the Kurdish troops in the fight against ISIS, calling them the most effective and reliable partner on the ground.

    According to the statement, “the Coalition executed four close air support airstrikes to facilitate the maneuver of the Kurdish Security Forces and their successful attack.”

    The Pentagon said that training and providing “operational intelligence” will also continue to further empower the Kurdish forces to conduct military operations against ISIS successfully.

    It also showed confidence in the capability of the Kurdish forces, saying that “Kurdish Peshmerga Forces now hold the gains they have made and are postured to retake additional territory from Daesh (ISIS) in the vicinity of Mosul.”

    Lt. Gen. James Terry, the CJTF-OIR commander, explained that the coordination with the Kurdish forces has proved to be effective in countering and defeating ISIS.

    “This most recent Peshmerga operation is yet another example of how Daesh can be defeated militarily using a combination of well led and capable ground forces enabled by Coalition Aviation and Advise and Assist capabilities,” he said.Kurds Are Close to Retaking Mosul from ISIS

    Iraq and Syria Operations Against ISIL Designated as Operation Inherent Resolve

    TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 15, 2014 - U.S. Central Command officials announced today that Operation INHERENT RESOLVE has been officially designated as the name given to U.S. military operations against ISIL in Iraq and Syria. The operation name applies retroactively to all U.S. military actions conducted against ISIL in Iraq and Syria since airstrikes against ISIL began Aug. 8 in Iraq.

    According to CENTCOM officials, the name INHERENT RESOLVE is intended to reflect the unwavering resolve and deep commitment of the U.S. and partner nations in the region and around the globe to eliminate the terrorist group ISIL and the threat they pose to Iraq, the region and the wider international community. It also symbolizes the willingness and dedication of coalition members to work closely with our friends in the region and apply all available dimensions of national power necessary - diplomatic, informational, military, economic - to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL

    Obama sends Congress request for military force against ISIS

    WASHINGTONBy Associated Press: President Barack Obama asked Congress on Wednesday to formally authorize military force against Islamic State militants, declaring they are on the defensive and "going to lose." But he vowed not to repeat the large and costly ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    Obama said a large deployment of U.S. troops won't be necessary to fight the Islamic State, and he argued that the three-page proposal he sent to lawmakers would give him and his successor the needed flexibility to wage a battle likely to take "some time."

    "I'm convinced that the United States should not get dragged back into another prolonged ground war in the Middle East," the president said, flanked by his vice president and secretaries of State and Defense at the White House. "I do not believe America's interests are served by endless war or by remaining on a perpetual war footing."

    The initial reaction to his congressional request was bipartisan skepticism. Republicans expressed unhappiness that Obama chose to exclude any long-term commitment of ground forces, while some Democrats voiced dismay that he had opened the door to deployment at all.

    Under Obama's proposal, the use of military force would be authorized for three years, unbounded by national borders. The fight could be extended to any "closely related successor entity" to the Islamic State organization that has overrun parts of Iraq and Syria, imposed a stern form of Sharia law and killed several hostages it has taken, Americans among them.

    "Make no mistake. This is a difficult mission," Obama said, adding it will take time to dislodge the terrorists, especially from urban areas. "But our coalition is on the offensive. ISIL is on the defensive, and ISIL is going to lose."

    The 2002 congressional authorization that preceded the American-led invasion of Iraq would be repealed under the White House proposal, a step some Republicans were unhappy to see. But a separate authorization that was approved by Congress after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks would remain in force, to the consternation of some Democrats.

    At the heart of the debate, the struggle to define any role for American ground forces is likely to determine the outcome of the administration's request for legislation. White House spokesman John Earnest said the proposal was intentionally ambiguous on that point to give the president flexibility, but the approach also was an attempt to bridge a deep divide in Congress.

    While asking lawmakers to bar long-term, large-scale ground combat operations like those in Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama said he wants the flexibility for ground combat operations "in other more limited circumstances." Those include rescue missions, intelligence collection and the use of special operations forces in possible military action against Islamic State leaders. "It is not the authorization of another ground war," Obama said.

    "This resolution will give our armed forces the continuity we need for the next three years," he said. "It is not a timetable. It is not announcing that the mission is completed at any given period. What it is saying is that Congress should revisit the issue at the beginning of the next president's term.

    Whatever the outcome, Obama's request puts Congress on the path toward a vote that could reverberate unpredictably for years.

    A post-Sept. 11 request from then-President George W. Bush for authorization to use military force against Iraq was intensely controversial, and it played a role in Obama's successful campaign for the White House in 2008.

    Street clashes, 3 wounded as Peshmerga repulse ISIS offensive in Shingal
    By HEVIDAR AHMED

    SHINGAL, Kurdistan Region – Three Peshmerga were wounded in Shingal Thursday, where Kurdish forces repulsed an Islamic State attack on Kurdish-controlled positions in the war-ravaged city.

    General Hashim Sitayi from the 8th Peshmerga division told Rudaw the attack involved intense street clashes in the city.

    “The clashes went on for several hours, till late in the evening,” Sitayi said, adding that coalition warplanes were involved in some of the fighting. He could not provide details of ISIS casualties because of the poor visibility at night.

    Kurdish forces in December last year recaptured most areas around Shingal, including Mount Shingal, where thousands of Yezidis had taken refuge after an ISIS offensive last summer.

    Parts of the city are in Peshmerga control but roadside mines and explosives planted by the militants have hampered advances.

    Meanwhile Kurdish security forces seized three tons of TNT in the border town of Rabiaa and arrested several suspects, according to Qasim Smo, a Kurdish security official in Shingal, about 30 kilometers away.

    US ‘eyeing new air base’ in Iraq amid talk of major offensive on ISIS

    Sunday, 15 February 2015 20:14

    Baghdad (AIN) -Washington is working to install a new air base in Iraq’s Kurdistan to be used in a campaign against Islamic State (ISIS), media report. This comes as the White House’s special envoy on ISIS speaks of a ground operation in Iraq against the militants.

    This time an American stronghold in the region will be deployed in Erbil, the capital of semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in northern Iraq that is expected to be used as a logistics hub to supply primarily munitions for warplanes of the US-led coalition against ISIS militants.

    “The base is close to Erbil, the capital of the regional government…The warplanes will do surveillance, but the warplanes which will bomb ISIL targets will not take off from here,” Helgurt Hikmet, spokesperson for the Ministry of Peshmerga (Kurdish self-defense forces) said, as cited by Anadolu Agency.

    Turkey’s Hurriyet also reported that the US is preparing documents to get land leasehold for the next 15 years to station US military personnel and warplanes. A number of the US Air Force’s Black Hawk helicopters have already been deployed to Erbil earlier this month, to ensure quick rescue operations to save downed pilots bombing ISIS positions in Northern Iraq. Such operations became a priority after ISIS fighters burnt alive a downed Jordanian pilot.

    Fighter jets of the US and its western allies have been conducting airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq since early August. Starting from September 23, the US and its Arab allies: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates started bombing ISIS in Syria, without obtaining any authorization either from Damascus or a UN mandate.

    “There will be a major counter offensive on the ground in Iraq,” retired Marine Corps General John Allen, the White House special envoy on the Islamic State, told Jordan's official Petra news agency a week ago. The operation is actually supposed to be an Iraqi army offensive supported by the anti-ISIS coalition firepower.

    But on Friday, the Islamic State carried out a coordinated suicide bomber attack against the air base housing 320 US Marines just eight kilometers away from the western Iraqi city of al-Baghdadi, confirmed to be under the extremists’ control now.

    Iraqi PM Haider al-Abadi: We plan to regain Mosul

    Shafaq News/ Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has told the BBC's John Simpson that Iraq is making preparations to move against the Islamic State stronghold of Mosul. He also said that when he took office five months ago, he was surprised at the lack of support from the US. However, he said that has changed significantly in the last four weeks with ''an acceleration of support''. The Islamic state organization has dominated over vast areas in both Iraq and Syria during last year and announced the establishment of an "Islamic state". The organization is being exposed to intense air strikes since months ago by aiming to weaken and end the presence of the organization by American Coalition aircraft, according to US President , Barack Obama who stressed that at the announcement of the formation of the coalition. Many countries participate in the Alliance including Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar and the UAE, which had suspended its participation after the fall of the Jordanian plane pilot , Muath al- Kasasbeh and killing him, then raids resumed afterwards.

    Expert: seizing Mosul may take 10 months, 30,000 troops
    By HÊVÎDAR EHMED

    ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – The battle to free the city of Mosul from the grip of the Islamic State will require as many as 30,000 soldiers and take as long as 10 months, a leading Kurdish military analyst has told Rudaw.

    Colonel Masoud Salih, an instructor at Zakho Military Academy, said the city’s large size and a tough ISIS defense perimeter could make for one of the toughest, and longest, battles against terrorism in Iraq since 2003.

    He said the impending battle is expected to take place in June with Peshmarga forces acting as auxiliary units to the Iraqi Army.

    Without proper training in urban warfare, he added, the Iraqi army will struggle to dislodge the militants. Mosul fell to ISIS on June 9 after the Iraqi army deserted the city without serious confrontations.

    A successful attack on Iraq’s second-largest city, as explained by Salih, must be accomplished in three stages.

    “The first stage has started, which is surveillance, information gathering, training the Iraqi army and arming the [local Sunni] tribes,” he said.

    The second stage, Salih continued, would be: “Analyzing information, identifying the objectives, planning military operations, setting the Zero hour and cutting the supply lines of ISIS.

    “The third stage would be to commence the operation from three directions, east, south, and the west of Mosul.”

    Each front in the attack on Mosul, according to Salih, would require 10,000 soldiers., with each group divided into 8,000 active fighters and 2,000 reinforcements. He believes strongly the battle will be lengthy, possibly 10 months.

    Some commanders think differently, however, and believe ISIS will soon collapse.

    One military officer estimates ISIS has only some 12,000 fighters in Mosul. The officer, who chose to remain unnamed, said rumors of as many as 30,000 ISIS militants in Mosul are simply ISIS propaganda.

    Yet Salih was quick to point out why the fight would take so long.

    “ISIS has been digging trenches around Mosul for quite some time, also, suicide bombers, and IEDs on the roadsides would slow down the military movements. Urban warfare is difficult and there are also civilians living in the city and the military goals are not clear yet.

    “These factors will make the battle last longer,” said Salih.

    Regarding the role of the Peshmerga forces, Salih said, “The Peshmerga forces will not participate in the ground operations of liberating Mosul, they will act as an auxiliary force that would support the Iraqi army with heavy weapons. They will also protect the residential areas of the minorities in Bartilla, Hamdaniya, Bashika, etc.”

    Salih was among the officers sent to the US for training after 2003 and is aware of many facets of the new Iraqi Ministry of Defense. His experience has given him insight into why the US has not armed Peshmarga forces directly.

    “First, the US does not want to change the balance of forces in Iraq,’ he said.

    “Second, the Kurdistan Region still does not have an organized and united professional army.”

    Even so, Salih said the time to make military preparations for the battle of Mosul is running out.

    “All the signs show that the battle will begin in June, and basically this war needs six months of preparation, which means only four months left.”

    Official: Mission to retake Mosul to begin in April, May

    By Associated Press

    WASHINGTON — The operation to retake Iraq's second largest city from Islamic State militants will likely begin in April or May and will involve about 12 Iraqi brigades, or between 20,000 and 25,000 troops, a senior U.S. military official said Thursday.

    Laying out details of the expected Mosul operation for the first time, the official from U.S. Central Command said five Iraqi Army brigades will soon go through coalition training in Iraq to prepare for the mission. Those five would make up the core fighting force that would launch the attack, but they would be supplemented by three smaller brigades serving as reserve forces, along with three Peshmerga brigades who would contain the Islamic State fighters from the north and west.

    The Peshmerga are Kurdish forces from northern Iraq.

    The official said there also would be a Mosul fighting force, largely made up of former Mosul police and tribal forces, who would have to be ready to go back into the city once the army units clear out the Islamic State fighters.

    Included in the force would be a brigade of Iraqi counterterrorism forces who have been trained by U.S. special operations forces. The brigades include roughly 2,000 troops each. The official was not authorized to discuss the operation publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.

    The official said the U.S. will provide military support for the operation, including training, air support, intelligence and surveillance. The official said there has been no decision made yet on whether to send in some U.S. ground troops to help call in airstrikes.

    Islamic State militants overtook Mosul last June, as the group marched across large sections of Iraq and Syria, sending Iraqi forces fleeing. At this point, officials estimate there are between 1,000 to 2,000 Islamic State insurgents in the city of Mosul. Military leaders have been talking about retaking the city for some time, but they have said they won't launch the operation until the Iraqi troops are ready.

    The official said they wanted to retake Mosul in the spring, before the summer heat and the holiday month of Ramadan kick in.

    "But by the same token, if they're not ready, if the conditions are not set, if all the equipment they need is not physically there and they (aren't) trained to a degree in which they will be successful, we have not closed the door on continuing to slide that to the right," he said.

    The official also revealed for the first time that Qatar has agreed to host a training site for coalition forces to train moderate Syrian rebels who would return to Syria to fight the Islamic State forces there. Other sites are in Turkey, Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

    OIL AND GAS LAW(S) THREAD

    Iraqi-Kurdish oil deal is slipping away
    Collapse of revenue-sharing deal with Baghdad could have dire financial consequences for Kurdish Regional Government.

    Mohammed A Salih | 19 Feb 2015 12:09 GMT | War & Conflict, Politics, Middle East, Iraq

    Erbil - A deal on oil exports and revenue sharing between Iraq's government and the Kurdish Regional Government (KRG) appears to be in tatters as both sides signal their reluctance to uphold it prompting the Kurdistan government to seek alternative ways of monetising its oil.

    At the currently lower oil prices, any severing of the deal can, at least in the short run, affect both sides' war efforts against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and further fragment Iraq, analysts say.

    The deal, signed last December, essentially amounted to a cash for oil exchange: The Kurds committed to handing over 550,000 barrels of oil per day from areas under their control to Iraq's national oil marketing entity known as SOMO.

    In return, the federal government in Baghdad agreed to pay Kurds 17 percent of Iraq's national budget. That meant, after deducting certain expenses for common national purposes, the KRG would get around $1bn per month from Iraq's budget, estimated at about $105bn.

    In late January, the deal was incorporated into Iraq's national budget law for 2015.

    On Monday, KRG's Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani threatened to withheld oil exports without getting KRG's share. "If they don't send the budget, we won't send oil," Barzani said.

    But according to several sources speaking to Al Jazeera, the KRG has not been able to fulfil the target level of 550,000 barrels per day. Although Kurdish officials say this was due to technical difficulties, critics argue otherwise.

    "There is enough production capacity within Kurdistan whether from the originally KRG-controlled fields as well as the Kirkuk fields," said Luay al-Khateeb, the executive director of the London-based Iraq Energy Institute who has also advised the Iraqi parliament on energy policy.

    "But Kurdish authorities are very interested to keep enough margin of production for export to pay the IOCs [international oil companies] investing in the north [in Kurdistan] as well as allocating enough production to meet local consumption and this has reduced the share agreed with Baghdad."

    The Kurdish government has grappled with a deep financial crisis since the beginning of 2014 when the then Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki cut its share of the national budget.

    To provide the salaries of employees in its vast civil service, the KRG increased independent oil sales that it had already started through Turkey. It also borrowed around $3bn from international firms operating in Kurdistan particularly those in the energy sector, said Dilshad Shaban, a member of the energy committee at Iraqi Kurdistan's parliament.

    Of the nearly 500,000 barrels its produces per day, the KRG has withheld at least an average of 150,000 barrels per day from SOMO in a bid to pay those international firms, multiple Kurdish sources said. Around 150,000 additional barrels are used for domestic consumption.

    Kurdish officials also said that since the beginning of February, the KRG has only pumped around 150,000 barrels per day from Kirkuk fields which has been under Kurdish control since ISIL's emergence last June.

    The budget law mandates that the KRG provide 250,000 barrels of oil on a daily basis from the three provinces under its jurisdiction, and 300,000 barrels from oil fields in Kirkuk province that is now under the Kurds' de-facto control.

    But it does not clearly address the issue of a time frame for calculation purposes.

    Barzani recently said due to fluctuations in output caused by technical difficulties, the Iraqi government should not measure his government's commitment to the deal by calculating the amount of oil the KRG provides on a daily basis.

    The Iraqi government, Barzani suggested, should rather take an average of KRG's oil deliveries within a three-month period and expressed optimism the Kurds can meet the target that way.

    On Thursday, Barzani met with Turkish president and prime minister in Ankara to discuss energy matters. The Kurdish prime minister's visit to Ankara and his previous statements that the central government in Baghdad is "bankrupt" are seen as signs that KRG might resume its independent oil sales through a pipeline it has built with the help of Turkey in recent years.


    "The prime minister's visit to Turkey is aimed at talks about independent oil sales so that the Kurdistan Region can overcome the financial crisis," said MP Shaban, who is also a member of Barzani's Kurdistan Democratic Party. "If Baghdad does not commit to the agreement, then KRG will opt for independent oil sales."

    It is not clear yet if the KRG would go as far as including Kirkuk's oil in its exports in the event that the deal with Baghdad collapses and the Kurds embark on extensive independent oil sales.

    Many expect the Kurdish government will have a hard time in the coming months to make ends meet as its coffers are almost empty.

    The government has often come under criticism for not carrying out reforms to diversify and better regulate its economy and the current situation might further compound the situation.

    The KRG is already behind schedule in paying its civil servants and while March is approaching, it has not yet fully paid its employees for December.

    "It's a triple whammy crisis [for KRG]," said Shwan Zulal, managing director of Kurdistan focused consultancy Carduchi firm. "You have Baghdad not paying you, oil prices crashing and you have a war with ISIL. It's difficult even if it had a plan, or if it had contingency funds, or had economic robustness, [then] the KRG would have probably withstood it much better."

    Some analysts and officials who spoke to Al Jazeera suggested that one reason why Baghdad has not been willing to fulfil its side of the agreement might be that Kurdish contribution to the Iraqi budget is significantly below what it is entitled to receive.

    While Kurdish officials admit that "KRG is committed to the agreement with Baghdad and wants it to work", some, however, accuse Baghdad of double standards in distributing the national budget.

    The Baghdad government, say Kurdish officials, has withheld KRG's funds for most of the past year, but it has paid civil servants in the rest of the country.

    "Why does Baghdad pay other provinces even those under ISIL's control but it refuses to pay KRG's budget?" asked Shaban, the Kurdish MP.

    But even as the distrust between Baghdad and the KRG has deepened, some believe the deal is not beyond redemption yet.

    Both sides say they need to cooperate in the fight against ISIL and oil should not hamper that.

    Aziz Alwan, a member of the Iraqi parliament, believes the federal government should accept the idea to calculate the KRG oil output in three-month blocks and not on a daily basis.

    "There is a weakness in commitment to the deal but not a total collapse yet," said Alwan, also a member of the Iraqi National Alliance of which Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar al-Abbadi is a member as well. "There is still some good will left and attempts will be made to resolve the matter."

    ERBIL

    The United Nations (UN) and United States (US) are expected to mediate negotiations between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi federal government.

    Kurdish MP in Baghdad Ahmed Haji Rashid told BasNews that after delegations from Erbil and Baghdad recently failed to reach an agreement, negotiations will restart.

    “Another attempt at negotiation is expected to take place between the KRG and Iraqi federal government with third party mediators,” said Rashid.

    During the formation of the new Iraqi cabinet, the KRG agreed to take part at the last moment providing the UN and US act as mediators. They will once more sit down with the two governments.

    KRG delegates led by Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani visited Baghdad on February 15th, but returned without reaching agreements on oil exports, the Kurdistan Region budget or KRG employees’ salaries.

    AND


    Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani: ‘The KRG is committed to this agreement with Baghdad and we want it to work.'


    Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani, who recently returned from Dubai where he attended a Government Summit, spoke in a wide ranging interview with Rudaw about the visit, an agreement with Baghdad on oil and budget cooperation, the war with ISIS and Erbil’s support for the Kurdish struggle in Syia. Here is the full transcript of his comments:



    Rudaw: You were recently in Dubai to attend the Government Summit that discussed the United Arab Emirates’ vision for the next 50 years. What can the Kurds learn from such a summit?



    Nechirvan Barzani: We attended the summit at the invitation of the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. Undoubtedly, for us in the Kurdistan Region it was an opportunity to learn from the experience of these countries. They have had more or less similar experiences to ours in the past and they have progressed in many aspects. Members of my cabinet and I attended the different panels of the summit and I am hoping that we could emulate the positive aspects of their progress in Kurdistan. On the sidelines of the summit we had formal political meetings with UAE officials, including President Sheikh Zayed, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and the foreign minister, with whom we discussed the current situation of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region. We have old and solid relations between the Kurdistan Region and UAE. We have sizeable trade ties and the UAE is investing in Kurdistan. Trade between Kurdistan and UAE were part of our discussions with them.



    Rudaw: What new things did you hear from the UAE officials, especially after their government spokesman said that the Kurdistan Region is of importance to the UAE?




    I felt that the UAE is willing to assist the Kurdistan Region in every aspect and they are greatly invested in the Kurdistan Region.



    Nechirvan Barzani: There is genuine will in the UAE to assist us, some directly and some through Baghdad. I felt that the UAE is willing to assist the Kurdistan Region in every aspect and they are greatly invested in the Kurdistan Region.



    Rudaw: At the summit, UAE officials spoke of plans for the next 50 years and said that within a few years they would want only 6 percent of their economy reliant on oil. Is there something the Kurdistan Region can learn from this vision?



    Nechirvan Barzani: The Kurdistan Region does not have a history of industry and we started such a vision only very recently. And indeed, relying fully on oil is a dangerous thing. It is important to use the oil to build other economic infrastructure, because with the small budget that comes from Baghdad or elsewhere you cannot expect to solve all the problems of a destroyed country. Therefore, it is essential to use oil revenues to build a kind of economy that will not rely on oil. The UAE, which launched this kind of policy, also used to fully rely on oil. But now, for them it is only 30-40 percent on oil and the rest counts on trade, services, tourism. This could be a model which we can use too in the future. But we are only in the beginning and we have just started building our oil industry and infrastructure.



    Rudaw: Why do Arab and Gulf countries attach such importance to the Kurdistan Region?



    Nechirvan Barzani: They would like to treat all of Iraq the same way, but in the meantime they are aware that in the past years Kurdistan has been a factor of stability in the region. They very well understand that since 2003 the Kurdistan Region has tried rationally and calmly to create stability in Iraq and the region and it is on this basis that they want to maintain good relations with Kurdistan. It is in the meantime in the Kurdistan Region’s interest to have good relations with these countries.



    Rudaw: Why does the Kurdistan Region not have official representation in the UAE?



    Nechirvan Barzani: We have certainly been negligent as the Kurdistan Regional Government in that regard, and most of the KRG affairs in the UAE are conducted through the private sector. But we will take this issue into account and we will appoint a trade attaché in the UAE.



    Rudaw: For its budget the Kurdistan Region relies on oil and the share that comes from Baghdad, and there seems to be some hurdles in the Erbil-Baghdad agreement. What exactly are the issues and why is the money not coming from Baghdad?



    Nechirvan Barzani: I believe that there are no serious issues between us and Baghdad, and that Baghdad is only trying to create problems. Let me tell you this: we went to Baghdad, signed an agreement with them and after our return we continued to give them 150,00 barrels of oil per day and until the end of 2014 we remained committed to that agreement. In the beginning of 2015 our agreement with Baghdad was that we would receive 300,000 barrels of oil from them and plus 250,000 barrels of Kurdish oil, to export 550,000 barrels that we would transport hand over at the Ceyhan port, and thus contribute to Iraq’s budget. But in the first two weeks they began to say that we had not done our part of the agreement. We tell them that they cannot do the counting on a daily basis and that they should look at the total to see if we have remained loyal to the commitment or not. We may export 100,000 barrels one day and 250,000 another day. It is only a technical issue and nothing political. But unfortunately they do not take this into account and keep saying that the Kurdistan Region does not play its part in Iraq’s budget. But I told them frankly in Baghdad that we can only do what we have agreed on. At the end of 2014 we borrowed a lot of money from private companies in order to pay the salaries of our civil servants and we are now obliged to pay back that loan. We have no other choice.




    They very well understand that since 2003 the Kurdistan Region has tried rationally and calmly to create stability in Iraq and the region and it is on this basis that they want to maintain good relations with Kurdistan.



    Rudaw: But the KRG is able to export 400,000 barrels of oil per day.



    Nechirvan Barzani: Yes, it is.



    Rudaw: Then why not give Baghdad its share of 250,000 and end their complaints?



    Nechirvan Barzani: When Adel Abdul-Mehdi (Iraq’s oil minister) came to Erbil we gave them an annual export schedule and it showed by the end of the year that we were committed to the agreement of 550,000 barrels per day. But the truth is that Iraq has no money these days. Iraq lives in severe financial crisis.



    Rudaw: What has happened to Iraq’s money?



    Nechirvan Barzani: Nobody knows where it has gone. They themselves should know where it has gone. By the end of 2013 Iraq had around $18 billion in the Development Finance Institution (DFI), but now it doesn’t even have $1 billion, and the fall in oil prices has worsened the crisis. I suggested to Baghdad that if they have trust issues with the KRG, then we should do our accounting every three months and see if we are committed or not. But from the first day and first week they began to say that we hadn’t done this or that and therefore they will not send our budget. I sincerely believe that economically this makes no sense at all.



    Rudaw: Did you send this suggestion to Baghdad?



    Nechirvan Barzani: Yes, we did through Dr. Roj Shawais.



    Rudaw: What was Baghdad’s response?



    Nechirvan Barzani: I will visit Baghdad myself. The KRG is committed to this agreement with Baghdad and we want it to work. This agreement is in the best interest of Baghdad and the Kurdistan Region and all of our efforts will be to ensure it is implemented. A major part of our talks with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi will be on this very issue.



    Rudaw: It is said that all the visits to Baghdad show the KRG’s weak position, and that is why Abadi doesn’t bother to visit Erbil. Are you visiting Baghdad out of desperation?



    Nechirvan Barzani: It does not really matter who visits who. What is important is for things to get done. He is the prime minister of Iraq too. To me personally, it is not important who visits who.



    Rudaw: Is it important to you that Kurdistan’s budget should come on time?



    Nechirvan Barzani: Yes, it is important that all the issues are resolved, the budget gets here and we get out of the situation we are in. We are ready to visit Baghdad every single day.



    Rudaw: It is said that the KRG has borrowed $17 billion. Is that not a big risk to the Kurdistan Region?



    Nechirvan Barzani: No, it is not to that extent. Baghdad owes the KRG 16 trillion Iraqi Dinars that was supposed to have been paid by the end of 2014, which did not happen. So to pay our civil servants’ salaries we had to borrow money. How did we do this? We have given the companies guarantees that we will pay them back in oil and now we give the remainder of our oil to these companies in order to honor our agreement with them.



    Rudaw: Oil prices have slightly risen in recent days. Would this have any impact on the Erbil-Baghdad agreement?



    Nechirvan Barzani: Iraq’s budget relies 95 percent on oil and, therefore, without any doubt the rise or fall in oil prices would have a big effect, especially on Iraq. Iraq hasn’t been able to extricate itself from this reality and wouldn’t be able to do so in a year or two or even 10 years. It requires long-term planning and Iraq doesn’t have any such plans. This was neither done during the former regime, nor was there a chance after regime change for Iraq to draw some strategic plans. The change in oil prices would affect any country, including Russia and Iran. Those countries have learned to cope with and adapt to falling oil prices, but a country like Iraq benefits and loses a great deal from any change to oil prices.




    I suggested to Baghdad that if they have trust issues with the KRG, then we should do our accounting every three months and see if we are committed or not.



    Rudaw: Let’s switch to the topic of the Islamic State (ISIS). How dangerous is ISIS to the Kurdistan Region still?



    Nechirvan Barzani: At the start the ISIS war was a big shock to the Kurdistan Region. In the beginning all political parties in the Kurdistan Region agreed that we should not be embroiled in the ISIS war and that is the policy we pursued until the minute ISIS attacked the Kurdistan Region. But that policy is over and you see today that on all fronts the Peshmerga, police, security and volunteer forces are fully engaged in the war and they have the initiative. If it weren’t for their bravery and resistance the situation in the Kurdistan Region would have been different today. Their loyalty and bravery put a halt to ISIS, but ISIS is constantly looking to find any weak points whence it may attack the Peshmerga forces. What ISIS can do today is inflict harm. They can no longer attack and occupy a place. I believe that the only force that could stand up to ISIS on the ground and deal it a heavy blow was the Peshmerga. You have been to the frontlines yourself and seen how much the Peshmerga have achieved. These are vast territories -- Shingal, Makhmour, Gwer, Jalawla, Kirkuk.



    Rudaw: French President Francios Hollande received two female commanders of the Peoples Protection Units (YPG) in Paris. What is your position on a powerful country like France receiving a Kurdish force from Rojava?



    Nechirvan Barzani: We are very pleased when any Kurdish force is welcomed that way and we support the Kurdish struggle in Syria. Our only word to them is: be united and stay together and let others work with you. There is some misconception here, especially towards the Kurdistan Democratic Party, which I should like to clarify: it is said that the KDP is against those forces, but on the contrary, when Kobane was under attack we all worked together and the Kurdistan Region president did his best to convince the Americans and Turkey to allow our forces to go and help Kobane, which we did. Today, our policy and sentiment remains the same. Our position as the government, as KDP and all other Kurdish parties is absolute support for the struggle of the Kurdish forces in Rojava. We are pleased by and support any of their political moves and military success.

    Member of the parliamentary Finance: Central Bank qualify the deletion of zeros from currency



    [Baghdad-where] Announced the parliamentary finance committee member Masood Haider, Friday, for the central bank kept the deletion of zeros from the Iraqi currency.

    Said Haider told all of Iraq [where], "it was a lot of studies on the subject of deletion of zeros from the currency," adding that "the Central Bank has reservations about this thread a little bit, and we did not Nstda central bank director was not met, done to discuss this matter, as well as other officials in the bank. "

    He added that "the process of deleting the zeros need to be in-depth study, because they greatly affect the Iraqi currency and the price of the Iraqi market and on the Iraqi economy in general."

    Haider said that "the cost associated with the process of removing the zeros and the type of currency that can be printed and displayed in the market and the process of withdrawal, all the things you need to take some time."

    He pointed to "the need to conduct a study regarding the deletion of zeros from the currency, by the legislative and executive branches and with the participation of specialists in the Iraqi Board of currency and the economy."

    The Finance Committee member Jabbar al-Abadi, said to [where], on the sixth of February, that "the project to delete the zeros were traded within the Finance Committee," adding that "the central bank refuses to subject the fact that time is not right now," he said. "We the Finance Committee with the deletion of zeros is subject to many positives reflected on the economic reality. "

    He economist Jamil Antoine said earlier that the deletion of zeros from the currency is a restructuring of the coin, and to alleviate the large digital accounts burden treasurers, and alleviate the burden of accountants in counting the transfer of numbers, "but he pointed out that" this is not the time to replace the currency, and that the lack of security and economic stability in Albulad.anthy 2
