Iraq plans offshore oil and gas exploration to boost reserves
Iraq is planning to start offshore oil and gas exploration to boost the OPEC nation’s reserves, Oil Minister Jabar al-Luaibi said in a statement on Monday.
Luaibi said he “gave guidance to the Oil Exploration Company about the importance of exploring territorial waters to assess the hydrocarbons reserves and to boost Iraq’s capacity”.
Iraq last week announced an increase in its oil reserves to 153 billion barrels from a previous estimate of 143 billion barrels.
Iraq has boosted output rapidly in recent years with the help of foreign oil companies to become OPEC’s second-largest producer behind Saudi Arabia.
It agreed at the end of November to take part in an OPEC agreement to cut global supply to help to lift oil prices.

Kaperoni (Dinar Guru) – Article: “Commercial layer “parasitic” I run the Americans in Iraq and the balance of the bank continues to decline” Quote: “…the current value of the Iraqi dinar is not a real value but a value for the stability and the alternative is a monetary reserves because the government can not afford to float the currency politically.” IMO, they wouldn’t be talking about it, if it was not the plan. Soon we can hope the float will start.

Khalil Mozan, which is a shareholder in the Iraq Stock Exchange, confirms (range), that the Iraqi Stock Exchange even though it seeks to put the largest number of shares traded and access to advanced stages of the profits, but there are a lot of installations of mixed private and public sectors, not offer its shares in the Iraqi stock Exchange, due to lack of a culture of mistrust and dealing the stock market, which seems clearly, was skeptical at the possibility that the Iraqi stock Exchange compete Gulf bourses because of the situation that prevailed in the country and the region.

While watching Abdul Latif digital painting within the market confirms (range), said that the failure of Iraq to link global markets and is not affected by the Baghdad Stock Exchange directly what is going on in the world, makes the risks a bit, “but also the decline in any stock will create certainly a big concern when some shareholders “, and hits for example , by saying , ” when the Warka Bank went out of circulation because of the sudden imposition of trusteeship by the central bank, it may cause many of the shareholders a real disaster, and some even suffered a heart attack crippled the mattress. ”
On the other hand, notes the executive director of the Market Iraqi securities, Taha Ahmed Abdul Salam, in an interview with the (range) to the market continues to trade strongly despite the security circumstances surrounding Iraq since 2003 to date, noting that there are 30 investment funds with foreigners at the moment while there is no Iraqi investment funds.

Following the financial expert said, that the security and political crises faced by the country at the moment, is the other had a significant and obvious impact on the low level of trading in the Iraqi Stock Exchange, also it caused fear for some international companies to enter the Iraqi Stock Exchange.
The date of the work in the Iraq Stock Exchange, to the early nineties of the last century, where it was called the Baghdad Stock Exchange ‘s name, and was run by the Iraqi Ministry of Finance at the time, and after 2003 the stock market was closed, but she returned and opened its doors again after the enactment of Law 74 of 2004, under the name “Iraq stock Exchange , ” which is run by the Securities Commission.
Organization Foundation market is self – regulated independent administratively and financially, not- for- profit and owned by members, and managed by a Board of Governors, and the right to own movable and immovable property, and including real estate, is also committed to the instructions of the Securities Commission in accordance with the law of the temporary securities.
tlm724 (Dinar Guru) – Article: “The Ministry of Commerce held a conference last week that “trade policy and economic reform” with broad participation and the presence of specialists in the economy.” [What is your take on this… Quote: “…the current value of the Iraqi dinar is not a real value but a value for the stability and the alternative is a monetary reserves because the government can not afford to float the currency politically.”] I think when it says “the government can not afford to float the currency politically” they are right. Politically here is no Minister of Finance and the CBI governor is a Bozo, that is some serious instability if you ask me. We all know the dinar is grossly undervalued and the reserves are down because Iraq is just now graduating from the Economic’s 101 class. They are making great progress with the electronic system which is very encouraging. Without that piece of the puzzle we would have little hope! They need liquidity badly and the only way they are going to get peoples money is to make those deposit’s insured. That is what I am looking for next!
