DayTrader, a News Researcher for DinarUpdates.com, recently had some interesting commentary.

Here are his thoughts:

Article 140 is much more complex than many realize. If you read Article 140 in the Iraq constitution, it refers to Article 58 of the Law of Administration for the State of Iraq for the Transitional Period that outlines all the steps that must be completed. This was a document constructed by Paul Bremmer to be used until a permanent constitution could be developed and ratified by Iraq. Article 58 states:

Article 58.
(A) The Iraqi Transitional Government, and especially the Iraqi Property Claims Commission and other relevant bodies, shall act expeditiously to take measures to remedy the injustice caused by the previous regime’s practices in altering the demographic character of certain regions, including Kirkuk, by deporting and expelling individuals from their places of residence, forcing migration in and out of the region, settling individuals alien to the region, depriving the inhabitants of work, and correcting nationality. To remedy this injustice, the Iraqi Transitional Government shall take the following steps:

(1) With regard to residents who were deported, expelled, or who emigrated; it shall, in accordance with the statute of the Iraqi Property Claims Commission and other measures within the law, within a reasonable period of time, restore the residents to their homes and property, or, where this is unfeasible, shall provide just compensation.

(2) With regard to the individuals newly introduced to specific regions and territories, it shall act in accordance with Article 10 of the Iraqi Property Claims Commission statute to ensure that such individuals may be resettled, may receive compensation from the state, may receive new land from the state near their residence in the governorate from which they came, or may receive compensation for the cost of moving to such areas.

(3) With regard to persons deprived of employment or other means of support in order to force migration out of their regions and territories, it shall promote new employment opportunities in the regions and territories.

(4) With regard to nationality correction, it shall repeal all relevant decrees and shall permit affected persons the right to determine their own national identity and ethnic affiliation free from coercion and duress.

(B) The previous regime also manipulated and changed administrative boundaries for political ends. The Presidency Council of the Iraqi Transitional Government shall make recommendations to the National Assembly on remedying these unjust changes in the permanent constitution. In the event the Presidency Council is unable to agree unanimously on a set of recommendations, it shall unanimously appoint a neutral arbitrator to examine the issue and make recommendations. In the event the Presidency Council is unable to agree on an arbitrator, it shall request the Secretary General of the United Nations to appoint a distinguished international person to be the arbitrator.

(C) The permanent resolution of disputed territories, including Kirkuk, shall be deferred until after these measures are completed, a fair and transparent census has been conducted and the permanent constitution has been ratified. This resolution shall be consistent with the principle of justice, taking into account the will of the people of those territories.

The challenge has always been how to implement the required changes. Those steps coupled with the fact that some of the people that Saddam Hussein forced out and those Sunnis that he brought in are no longer living. The resolution will have to involve their children, plus the process will also be challenged in identifying and finding all these families. This is not a quick fix. IMO that is why Abadi gave the responsibility to create an implementation plan to Barzani and the governor of the Kirkuk province. All of that said, I don’t believe that the implementation of Article 140 is tied to the revaluation of Iraq’s currency. I haven’t found any reference to Article 140 in any of the UN resolutions or SBA documents between the IMF, CBI and GOI.

International Energy: The oil market is nearing equilibrium

Trend Press / Agencies The International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Thursday that the world oil market is nearing a return to equilibrium after nearly three years of oversupply, with output cuts by major exporters offsetting the long-term decline in rich countries.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said crude oil inventories fell 17.2 million barrels in March, while the first three months of the year increased by 38.5 million barrels or 425,000 bpd.

“It can be said with confidence that the market is very close to the balance already, and with more data, it will become clearer,” the Paris-based agency said. A second half “of the year is” interesting “.

Total crude inventories in OECD countries fell 8.1 million barrels in February to 3.055 billion barrels, to stay above the five-year average of 330 million barrels, the International Energy Agency said.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) cut its forecast for world oil demand growth in 2017 by 40,000 bpd to 1.32 million bpd, warning that these estimates may be optimistic given the slowdown in consumption in the United States and Asia’s advanced economies such as Australia, Japan and South Korea.

On the supply side, the agency reported that world production fell 755 thousand barrels per day in March to 95.98 million barrels per day, while OPEC and its partners are committed to a joint agreement to reduce production of 1.8 million barrels per day in the first half of this year.

The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has committed itself to a commitment to a “strong” level of 99 percent in March, the agency said, noting that non-Opec members, including Russia and Oman, have increased their commitment to 64 percent. Percent from 38 percent in February.

In 2017, the International Energy Agency said it expected non-Opec supply to increase by 485,000 barrels per day (bpd), up from 400,000 bpd in previous estimates, led by increases in US production growth.

World Trade Organization expects global trade to grow by 2.4% in 2017

Trend Press / Continue The World Trade Organization (WTO) said on Wednesday that global trade is growing at 2.4 percent this year, but there is “deep uncertainty” over economic and political developments, especially in the United States.

“This year’s growth range was revised to between 1.8 and 3.6 percent from 1.8 percent and 3.1 percent last September,” the organization said in a statement. “Concerns over the bottleneck of trade activities are unclear because of government policy uncertainty.”

“We should look at trade as part of the solution to economic difficulties, not as part of the problem,” said Roberto Azivido, FAO Director-General.

“There is generally cautious optimism, but trade growth remains fragile, there is a risk of a significant decline and a great deal of political uncertainty,” he told a press conference, calling on the world to “continue to resist the creation of new barriers to trade.”

The WTO has revised its initial estimates repeatedly over the past five years on expectations of an economic recovery that has proved to be optimistic.

World trade grew at an “average slow” rate of 1.3 percent in 2016, the lowest pace since the financial crisis, unable even to match the September revised WTO forecast of 1.7 percent.

In 2018, global trade is expected to grow between 2.1 and 4 percent, according to the latest World Trade Organization analysis.

Director of the Issuance Department of the Central Bank: Printed currency volume exceeds 11 billion and 600 million dinars

Most of the Iraqi Central Bank steps are subject to political and legal environment of the country , especially in regard to the deletion of zeros that counted specialists in the earlier trend sensitive and dangerous may still be , but the central remains the most important institution in terms of the need to adjust the financial management in light of the financial crisis experienced by the the Iraqi economy, which must have to deal with dilemmas , whether with regard to the citizen or the work of the central bank itself.

Questions concerning important files posed (range) in this meeting , the director of the release and the Treasury in the Central Bank Aa’bas behind, and with being answered by briefly he pointed out the most important points that showed that the currency is good for circulation deposited Central has exceeded one billion and a quarter of a million dinars an amount that is not a little if they were compensated by the stored banknotes at the bank , as some believe, at the time between the printed currency size has exceeded the “11 billion and 600 million dinars, he urged citizens on the need not to keep large amounts in homes or buried in the ground , the fact that the process of replacing in the event expose Dt to burn or damage costs the central administrative and financial burdens, stressing that the counterfeit currency rate is still within the internationally accepted borders, with the central quest to carry out an information campaign to educate the public on how to distinguish between the original currency and Almzorh.oicol behind on a question about the possibility of having higher versions of a class (50000 ) dinars?

– No at present intention to issue a higher class category (50000) dinars.

* What about the subject of the deletion of zeros and the reason for the delay?

– the decision on the deletion of zeros cannot be taken in isolation from the political and legal environment in the country under conditions the security situation as a result of terrorist acts and exit from the provinces outside the control of the state for the years 2014, 2015, 2016 which prevents certainly to wait in the implementation of this project, in addition to that this must be done in coordination with all state departments and the private sector, where it should be followed by changing the paragraphs contained in the various laws, which include a reference to fines or lump – sum collection of fees, must also change the financial and statistical records in order to conform with the project process the deletion of zeros. On the other hand, the technical preparations are underway by us.

* How is the cost of the annual replacement and replacement of damaged currency?

– First , there is no substitution instead of a damaged annually, as the bank instead seeks to issue new papers for security specifications developed, so the cost is reduced in this way it is the cost of issuing new banknotes specifications better used at the same time damaged to the replacement of currency from the previous editions .

We seek to carry out an information campaign to distinguish between original and counterfeit currency

* How discovered the counterfeit currency of the size?

– The Central Bank of Iraq resorted to the use of machines to sophisticated counting and sorting which can detect counterfeit currency, in addition to banks guide using modern techniques in the currency examination, but the problem is not doing shopkeepers enough efforts to use the machines to check the currency, as the bank seeks to campaign media to sensitize the public on how to distinguish between the original currency and counterfeit currency by issuing a booklet definitions and (posters) for this purpose and will be distributed to banks in major shopping malls, and in all cases, the counterfeit currency rate is still within the internationally accepted borders , where even T ratio (0.000025) (Twenty – five million paper sheet).

* What currency damaged by fire or poor storage of citizens compensation mechanisms?

– While we hope the citizens do not keep large amounts in homes or buried in the ground, and to do instead in the deposit with the banks, as the replacement of the burnt currency process or damaged it costs the central bank financial burdens and administrative Colva unwarranted, however the bank is to receive citizens whose savings in Iraqi currency to fire accidents provided that they are documented by the civil Defense Department and be sourced from the project, either in terms of currency (buried) are sufficiency statement on the sources of these funds, and in this regard we call on citizens not to accept the mediation of any hand to Astb The Iraqi currency and that this bank does not receive any commission for its replacement.

We applied security methods with modern technology advanced counting and sorting currency

* What future plans for the central bank currency and print?

– Iraqi Central Bank seeks to keep pace with the evolution of printing currency and modern technologies both in currency printing or counting devices and sorting the currency where they are constantly adding new security features in addition to the acquisition of advanced machines counting and sorting currency, was dispensed with final counting and manual screening process.

* How much is the size of the torn currency and how much of the size of the printed currency?

Opportunities for advancement of the economy in Iraq after the defeat of ISIS

ISIS has organized a lot of land that was in his possession, but he continues to commit genocide, how could be terminated? And proceed in the opposite direction?

Focusing on the United States and the United Nations plans for the reconstruction of Iraq after the defeat of ISIS primarily on southern and Western areas of the country, and neglecting minorities in northern Iraq, particularly Christians, who still suffer from genocide and not displayed is flag continued discrimination within their countries.

These disadvantaged minorities, including Christians, Turkmens, walaizidion live in northern Iraq for thousands of years. In order to reverse genocide and make this a prosperous areas such as former and earn daily strength again, we need to create a safe area such as those in Kurdistan (1991) and Bosnia (1993).

Compounding the refugee crisis to bona fide efforts by Governments and charities focused exclusively on emergency relief, but quickly turn to disaster when it happens to adults who are able bodied to work and eager to restore the dignity of the spiral plunge into a spiral of depression and despair for their inability to provide a living for their families. For this reason, the United Nations says that habitual residence in a refugee camp continue for 17 years. This is a terrible loss of human life.

However, the establishment of a secure area that can provide security and enhances productivity as happened following the campaigns of genocide in Kurdistan.

The consensus among security experts lies in one thing: they should assemble a coalition of regional forces with training and international assistance to provide security.

But some important thing ignores consensus: Homeland Security-Officer in the corner, and the soldier at the checkpoint-must be indigenous. And I mean protracted discrimination against minorities that Christians in Alqosh or alaizidien in Sinjar would see a member of their group at checkpoints regulating the entry and exit of their towns. Alice is likely to be a guarantee of the future, if people saw that persons of whom can participate in State administrative and security institutions?

That is why we need to have sufficient capacity and emphasizing police training abroad, such as Italy and Denmark, to work on the training of local police forces and act as observers, then the reconstruction process can begin in earnest.

And when that happens, Western businessmen are the best hope to help returnees to make reconstruction a success. Because without bringing life to the economy was prosperous and suffers from ruin now, these communities can never flourish again. so Governments should do all they can to facilitate private sector transactions that will build the economy from the ground up.

Rather than engage the Governments macroeconomic policies that define the general framework of the economy, Governments should identify the origins of microeconomics, including human capacity and capital goods, which can be used by investors and entrepreneurs in productive economy.

For example, there is no government entity is surveying the displaced families to see what I have their functional skills.

And spend a million dinars to the surveys ask people displaced from dimogharavithm, about their past, but there is no information on their skills, which can help an investor in its future work, the foreign aid compound – composed of Governments and NGOs-is suffering from a kind of visualization that focuses only on spare people suffering, not on what their suffering.

And that’s why it’s not useful in business but if they understood the real needs of the oppressed, if you really listen to them, they realize that getting a job is part of restoring their dignity.

If the Government has to count and check the micro-economic assets, the number of teachers and engineers in camps to prepare olives and apples that have not invested because of the genocide, investors can intervene to bridge the gaps, using those assets to create real value and, therefore, make these oppressed communities within sustainable development process again.

This is why the goal is to create communication between businessmen in North America and Europe with business people in northern Iraq.

And use their skills to help Iraqis create supermarkets to sell their products, and the transfer of technology to improve their competitiveness, and training men and guide them and provide them with the experience of foreign businessmen when all that foreign businessmen would realize that their bet was spot on and invest their money making projects grow and provide jobs for their neighbors. There is nothing you can do will help them at the moment.

Kuwait stresses the importance of developing trade with Iraq to enhance the common economy

The Minister of State for Youth Affairs Khalid Al-Roudhan on Wednesday stressed the need to develop bilateral trade with Iraq to boost the economies of both countries, especially in view of the low oil prices.

Al-Roudhan said in a press statement during a meeting with the Minister of Planning and Trade Minister Salman Al-Jumaili that “the development of intra-Arab trade strengthens Arab economic integration, making it an economic force that keeps pace with global economic blocs.”

“The meeting discussed several key issues related to strengthening the trade side between the two countries as well as discussing the best possible solutions to further develop bilateral economic relations,” he said.

“The meeting touched on the importance of finding effective steps in the coming days to promote intra-Arab trade, especially as Kuwait’s economic plan aims to transform the country into a financial and commercial center,” he said.
He noted “the importance of identifying investment opportunities in both countries.”

World Trade Organization expects global trade to grow by 2.4% in 2017

Trend Press / Continue The World Trade Organization (WTO) said on Wednesday that global trade is growing at 2.4 percent this year, but there is “deep uncertainty” over economic and political developments, especially in the United States.

“This year’s growth range was revised to between 1.8 and 3.6 percent from 1.8 percent and 3.1 percent last September,” the organization said in a statement. “Concerns over the bottleneck of trade activities are unclear because of government policy uncertainty.”

“We should look at trade as part of the solution to economic difficulties, not as part of the problem,” said Roberto Azivido, FAO Director-General.

“There is generally cautious optimism, but trade growth remains fragile, there is a risk of a significant decline and a great deal of political uncertainty,” he told a press conference, calling on the world to “continue to resist the creation of new barriers to trade.”

The WTO has revised its initial estimates repeatedly over the past five years on expectations of an economic recovery that has proved to be optimistic.

World trade grew at an “average slow” rate of 1.3 percent in 2016, the lowest pace since the financial crisis, unable even to match the September revised WTO forecast of 1.7 percent.

In 2018, global trade is expected to grow between 2.1 and 4 percent, according to the latest World Trade Organization analysis.

Head of the IMF mission’s (term) interest peg to the dollar rather than a large reduction of the Iraqi economy

Baghdad / Zahraa Al-Jassem Being talked at length between the economic circles, whether legislative or specialized for what the International Monetary Fund for Iraq loans and its usefulness out of the current financial crisis in the aftermath of the decline in global oil prices, Sometimes some people talk about being open field ahead of us to get the facilities and loans and support for international financial organizations and countries major, in accordance with the international financial umbrella obtained by Iraq , up nearly 20 billion dollars, with what he sees others that borrow from the fund is very important for Iraq but also strengthens its position externally in terms of financial transactions, and sometimes others were skeptical of this argument, pointing out that, loans would not But the burden of borrowed state financial obligations and Tkplha debts for many years, with the facts that can not be overlooked after the repercussions of the occupation of Daesh for a number of Iraqi cities , and his successor from the huge numbers of displaced people and the destruction of the infrastructure of those areas, requiring reconstruction after liberation, not to mention the costs of these the war that no one can yet appreciated.

Meetings and dialogues in- depth continued over the past two years and the current, to complete Iraq for the IMF loan of $ 5.3 billion, an annual interest rate low of one and a half percent, accompanied by requests, policies and procedures recommended by the Fund, concerning its credit readiness with Iraq, including additional cuts expenditures and the fight against corruption, and activating the economic sectors and financial reform, which according to officials, in the interests of the Iraqi economy, to remain the most important opinion of the international Monetary Fund in this regard, as head of the IMF mission in Iraq , Christian coconut answer, some questions x The interview (range), via e – mail.

* What is the future readiness credit program with the International Monetary Fund, if exposed oil prices to a significant improvement eliminates the deficit?

– Under the current outlook for oil prices, we believe that it should follow the approach of the financial correction that combines ambition and viability, in order to bridge the gap with the end of this decade (2020). If oil prices rose largely no longer with the need for international financial support from the IMF and other donors fund, leaving the decision of the Iraqi government regarding the continued implementation of the standby credit agreement with the Fund.
* Do you put the fund into account, in his program how Iraq will be able to pay its debts accumulated and borrowing for reconstruction if oil prices continue at current rates?

– Yes, if the Iraqi government implemented a fiscal adjustment program provided for by the standby credit agreement, it would be able to repay its debts.

* What are the means available to Iraq to establish an economic partnership with the world to run the economy and raise growth and development in which rates and reduce the actual levels of unemployment to decimal one not 40% instead of 24%?

– The Iraqi government should implement the following growth strategy: first, to maintain macroeconomic stability by freezing public spending in nominal terms for a period of two years, plugged up the fiscal deficit gradually and maintain the linking of the Iraqi dinar in US dollars. Second, create fiscal space by increasing non – oil revenues and the reduction of current expenditures, that this space is used to promote human capital and re – physical capital in Iraq. Third, improve the business climate, which leads, while reducing the role of the state in the economy in the context of the current fiscal adjustment, to increase incentives for private sector development, especially with the start of reconstruction work. Finally, reform and restructuring in the financial sector will, to strengthen its capacity to support the private sector in the medium term during the reconstruction.

* Everyone thinks that the economy is in a contraction or a severe recession and the price of nominal dinar exchange rate is not realistic and exceeds the value, compared to the current account deficit of the balance of payments., But it is time to reduce the value of the dinar and the exchange rate against the dollar and bear little thing of inflation in order to rationalize the overall total spending of the state ? What is your guidance in this regard?

– The central bank still maintains a comfortable level of foreign exchange reserves, we believe that it is appropriate to maintain the linking of the Iraqi dinar in US dollars. It will not achieve the devaluation of great benefit to the economy and would cause a sharp increase in inflation.

* Iraq ‘s recent decline in cash reserves at the Central Bank to the extent of 49 billion, how do you view this decline, do you have any recommendations to the Iraqi side about it?

– The central bank still retains a comfortable level of total foreign exchange reserves. As is the case in all oil – exporting countries, can not avoid the decline in these reserves when oil prices fall. We recommend the implementation of the agreed financial control under the standby credit agreement to keep this fall within the limits compatible with the linking of the Iraqi dinar in US dollars.

* What is your guidance for Iraq on reconstruction in the liberated areas of the process, and what is your opinion by asking US President Donald Trump, contributing to the reconstruction of those areas in exchange for Iraqi oil?

– We recommend first, to assess reconstruction needs with the help of the World Bank and then raise the necessary resources to implement them, including Iraq ‘s oil resources and international financial support. Iraq can assume its debts to conduct the agreed fiscal adjustment

* All afraid in Iraq , the size of the indebtedness of the Iraqi government , both internal and external, how do you view this issue, and what are your recommendations?

– it can carry Iraq ‘s debts if the authorities carried out the agreed financial correction with the IMF under the standby credit agreement.

The International Monetary Fund, a specialized agency of the Bretton Woods system of the United Nations, was established by an international treaty in 1945 to work on strengthening the integrity of the global economy, and is based in Washington DC, and run by its members who include all countries of the world about their number of 188 countries.

The International Monetary Fund, the central institution of the international monetary system, any system of international payments and currency exchange rates which allows commercial transactions between different countries, and aims to prevent crises in the international system by encouraging different countries to adopt sound economic policies, as members can make use of its resources, to address what they are exposed to balance of payments problems, including the legal objectives of the Fund to facilitate the expansion and balanced growth of international trade, and to stabilize exchange rates and avoid competitive devaluation of currency values, and a correction regulator Achtla S balance of payments experienced by different countries.

Oil rises above $ 55 a barrel

Bertha News Agency  Crude oil continued to rise above $ 55 a barrel on Monday, supported by a new closure of Libya’s largest fields and heightened tension over Syria after the US missile attack.

A Libyan oil source said the spark field was closed on Sunday after it disrupted a pipeline group linking it to the oil refinery. Work resumed in the field in early April after a week-long break.

“The sudden and repeated halt in production is still a source of support for oil prices,” said Carsten Frech of Commerzbank.

London Brent crude rose 42 cents to $ 55.66 a barrel by 0840 GMT, while US crude was up 33 cents at $ 52.57 a barrel.

Oil has also risen as tensions mount in the Middle East, which pumps more than a quarter of world oil production. Crude rose last week after the United States fired rockets at an air base of the Syrian government.

The spark field was closed for a week until April 2. OPEC member Libya has pumped a tiny share of its production capacity because of conflict and unrest a year ago

Sadr urges Assad to resign

Sadrist movement's leader Muqtada al-Sadr

Sadrist Movement’s leader Muqtada al-Sadr urged on Saturday Syrian regime president Bashar al-Assad to resign if he wants to save Syria from terrorism.

Bashar al-Assad has to resign and hand over the leadership of Syria to competent leaders who can fight terrorism, al-Sadr said in a press statement.

Al-Sadr also criticized Trump’s decision to strike Syria, describing this move as “reckless” and urged the US president to oust the US from the Syrian conflict so it doesn’t turn out to be a new Vietnam.

The Sadrist leader stressed that the US strike may have given ISIS the green light to expand to other countries.

Al-Sadr also noted that the US intervention in Syria won’t help solve the situation. He added that US couldn’t help Iraq in 2003 invasion.

Russia and other factions fighting in Syria must withdraw from the war-torn country to enable the Syrian people to rebuild their country.

Photo: Rudaw ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Ministry of Finance and Economy of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) has given a deadline of April 21 to the region’s private sector to comply with the ministry’s decree of 2011 which subjects the private sector’s companies and employees to pay a tax of five percent in their income to the government, or face necessary fines.

A five percent income tax will be imposed on public and private sector employees whose salaries exceed one million Iraqi Dinars (IQD), the KRG’s income tax law passed by the parliament in 2011, reads.

The KRG has given the private sector a 12-day notice to abide by its income tax law which was amended nearly five and half years ago, but remains unimplemented to date.

The Ministry of Finance and Economy has issued a statement on the outstanding status of the law and sent a copy of it to Rudaw, warning the private sector of fines if failed to comply with the law.

“All payment reports must be submitted to the directorate of income tax before the deadline of April 21 expires or necessary fines will be levied.”

The KRG approved a set of instructions this year to directly cut the income of those violating its income tax law. According to these instructions, Employees who fail to submit their income tax report on time will “be fined by 75,000 IQD.” They will also be “subjected to a fine of 5 percent in the overall tax they fail to pay, that is if they are late in paying their taxes.”

The instructions state that the income tax law will not apply on “pensioners, expenses dedicated to treat patients, an accident happening while at work, death compensations, salaries and endowments of diplomats.”

“The system was already there. And it will now be applied to all companies in a practical way. Government employees have already been paying their taxes annually,” Dr Kamal Tayeb, director general of the tax office at the ministry of finance, told Rudaw.

1bobby (Dinar Guru) –   Article:  “Office: Abadi agreed with the delegation of the Kurdistan Region to remove obstacles that prevented the activation of Article 140”  The infamous Art 140 is in the Constitution, just not activated and or implemented. Now 140 does not cover all of Iraq, just Kirkuk and the disputed territories, Kikuk being ground zero.  With Abadi agreeing to remove all obstacles to implement 140 is a HUGE step forward and something the Kurds can work with. Now while there are numerous cities/districts covered under 140, Kirkuk is the main concern. Kirkuk sits atop one of the largest oil reserves in Iraq, most reports estimate over 40 billion barrels of oil.  …If Abadi is willing to remove the obstacles, then the Kurds will control Kirkuk. This action does not require a Parliamentary vote since it’s already in the Constitution. What Baghdad wants is what the constitution states “All oil within Iraq belongs to all Iraqi’s“…So if the Kurds get what they want, Baghdad will want all oil proceeds to flow thru Baghdad and then %’s will be distributed accordingly.  We’ll just have to let this play out and see what they do, not what they say.

Baghdad Says U.S. Pledges Continued Support for Iraq’s War Against IS

BAGHDAD (Reuters) – U.S. Vice President Mike Pence on Saturday assured Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi of continued U.S. support to defeat Islamic State, the Iraqi government said in a statement.

The two discussed the situation in Syria and the war on Islamic State in a phone call from Pence following Friday’s U.S. strikes on a Syrian airbase to punish a chemical attack that killed scores of civilians this week in an area held by the opposition to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Pence “affirmed that U.S. policy in the region didn’t change, its priority is to defeat Daesh in Iraq and the region,” said a statement from Abadi’s office.

The Shi’ite-led Iraqi government issued a statement on Friday in reaction to the events in Syria reflecting a difficult balancing act between its alliance with the United States and with Shi’ite Iran, a key backer of Assad.The Iraqi statement condemned the chemical attack, without naming Assad, calling instead for an international investigation to identify the perpetrator.

The statement also criticized “the hasty interventions” that followed the chemical attack, in an apparent reference to the U.S. strikes.

Oil prices exceeded $56. And Russia is considering extending production cuts

Safe Zones As Soft Military Occupation: Trump’s Plan For Syria, Iraq Is Taking Shape

The Trump administration is moving closer to its goal of creating “safe zones” within Syria. Though this strategy may be described as a humanitarian effort, the sizable increase in military presence that it will bring looks more like an invasion in disguise.

Soon after his inauguration, President Trump stoked concerns regarding of U.S. intervention in Syria after announcing his plan to create so-called “safe zones” within Syria. At the time, Trump had ordered Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, along with Secretary of Defense James Mattis, to create a plan within 90 days to create such “zones” within Syria in order to allow refugees in the war-torn nation to “await firm settlement, such as repatriation or potential third-country resettlement.”

Trump stated that this approach was preferable to the strategy adopted by European Union nations that resulted in the controversial influx of millions of refugees from Syria and other countries. As analysts noted at the time, the move, despite its allegedly humanitarian motivations, risked sparking something much more grave: the escalation of U.S. military involvement in Syria, which would greatly heighten the risk of conflict between the US. and the Syrian government, along with its Russian allies.

Now, it appears that Tillerson and Mattis are quickly approaching the completion of their strategy for the establishment of Syrian “safe zones” after Tillerson recently confirmed the administration’s commitment to the measure in both Syria and Iraq at a summit held for a 68-member U.S.-led coalition that is targeting Daesh.

Though the details of the plan have yet to be released, many members of the coalition and members of previous U.S. presidential administrations have voiced their concerns that “safe zones” would be ineffective, concerns that Trump himself once echoed in criticizing Hillary Clinton’s advocacy for such zones in the 2016 election. For example, Portuguese Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva stated that his government was “never close to favoring this solution,” arguing that forcing refugees “to stay in their country when you cannot ensure that they won’t be attacked by some of the warring factions” fails to comply with international law.

Indeed, the U.S.-led coalition seems quite unqualified to oversee civilian safety, as bombing campaigns in recent months have claimed more innocent Syrian and Iraqi lives than military actions taken by Daesh or any other faction currently active in those countries.

In addition, tensions between coalition members and some U.S. allies in the region threaten even the feasibility of establishing the zones in the first place. Any plan to establish the zones would require cooperation with Russia and Syria, who are likely to oppose any such measure, as the zones would necessitate a massive increase in the U.S. military presence in Syria. Furthermore, the zones are set to be held by a still undetermined mix of Turkish, Kurdish and Western forces – an unlikely combination due to the often explosive antagonism between the Turks and the Kurds.

Brian McKeon, former undersecretary of defense for policy in the Obama-era Pentagon, echoed such concerns, stating that safe zones would be counter-productive in the fight against Daesh in an interview with Foreign Policy:

“A safe zone in theory assumes some agreement on the part of the Russians, Turks and possibly Syrians to yield sovereignty, or you don’t have agreement. The number of assets it would take to defend against potential attacks would likely be to the detriment of the counter-ISIL campaign.”

Safe Or Subterfuge? Zones Will Bring Large And Enduring Military Presence

Image result for safe zone syria

Considering that such “safe zones” will in no way guarantee safety of any kind and may be entirely impossible to implement due to Turkish-Kurdish tensions, the Trump administration’s commitment to such measures – along with other actions they have recently taken in the region – suggest that their real motivation is something else entirely.

Most telling of all is the fact that the debate over safe zones has coincided with the increased movement of U.S. troops and military assets into Syria and Iraq, such as the U.S.’ recent deployment of 2,500 soldiers to both Iraq and Syria. In addition, the U.S. government has signaled that these troops will remain in those nations long after Daesh is no longer deemed a threat.

For instance, hidden within the announcement of U.S. troop deployment in the Syrian city of Raqqa was the admission that the troops will be “required” to stabilize the region after Daesh’s defeat, as U.S. officials anticipate that “America’s allies” will need assistance in establishing “Syrian-led peacekeeping efforts” in the region for the foreseeable future. As for the forces to be deployed to Iraq, Tillerson confirmed that they would remain in Iraq after the defeat of Daesh in Mosul, despite his promise that no “nation-building” would take place afterwards.

Any additional forces deployed in Syria and Iraq for the establishment of “safe zones” would also ostensibly form part of an indefinite military presence within nations that have not authorized their operations within their borders – making these troop movements tantamount to an invasion. Moreover, the recent announcement from the Pentagon that they would no longer be publicly announcing subsequent troop deployments suggests that the U.S. government is seeking to obfuscate what is set to be a drastic increase in U.S. military presence in both Syria and Iraq – an increase set to spark geopolitical tensions in the region and beyond.

Ultimately, these safe zones – despite their humanitarian function – seem to be nothing more than an excuse to justify an increased U.S. military presence within Syrian and Iraqi borders – forces which, by the military’s own admission, have no intention of leaving anytime soon.

BGG (Dinar Guru) –   When we talk about the price tag the IMF and the UN have put on Mosul…one has to wonder exactly what leverage the UN has in this game…  It is clear what say the IMF has – they are the IMF… but the UN, on the other hand, not so clear…unless viewed through this narrow window. I doubt the UN will allow Iraq an immediate exit from Chapter 7 – the sanctions, yes… the protection… I just doubt it.  What does this mean for us? As long as they are doing as the IMF and UN have laid out for them – no reason the IMF and the UN won’t support a return “international acceptance and integration”…and that is all any of us care about.  [what has to happen for them to get out of chapter 7]   A better question – and the one we all really want to know is… do they even have to be fully out of Chapter 7?   My guess.

Report .. Is Recovering the Iraqi dinar?

There is no doubt that the main driving force of economic growth in Iraq, is its natural resources, which is reflected in the large number of oil and gas fields, which have become open to international trade.

And investing companies from all over the world in the development of these resources, which is reflected in the increasing oil exports in the country. It seems that Iraq has fully recovered from the damage suffered in the time of Saddam Hussein’s regime.

And on further exploration of Iraq’s oil reserves by international companies that are supposed to lead to a major increase in oil wealth, as well as known reserves in Iraq, it seems the country in spite of all these features have to form a geologist could reach the summit of wealth, unlike countries that spend a lot of money drilling, and this leads having to pay exorbitant costs for the extraction of oil.

A good example of this, the advantages of Iraqi production. The country produces oil, despite the ongoing war in which, unlike Saudi Arabia, which it wants to increase spending to avoid bankruptcy of shale oil production. While oil producers have been affected in the United States because of an attack on Saudi Arabia over Yemen, Iraq still continues its production and sale of oil profitably.

The value of the country’s economy as well as its currency, directly reflected in its natural resources, oil Valahtaatat large Iraqi, enough to push the young democratic economy to prosperity. Given that there is a need for oil, it is indispensable for gas all over the world. The Iraq can look forward to the continued growth through the growing role of the public oil supplier.

Although Iraq was not previously economically exists, but it has become clear and increasingly present a strong regional role given natural Mahmyate. In fact, Iraq’s oil minister said recently that Iraq will produce 5 million barrels per day in the second half of the year 2017.

With the economic boom led by the oil industry in Iraq, the national currency will rise eventually to reflect the true value of the oil indispensability of the country. It is likely to happen up when the central bank raises the value of the dinar.

In addition, the current political events play a key role in predicting the future of the national currency, and the “ban” on the Islamic countries, provoked by the US President, would have significant consequences for the Iraqi economy.

The decision proved Trump by lifting the ban Iraq from the list of travel to the United States, a great benefit to the country’s currency for other foreign currencies Iraqis exchanged more advantageous prices.

In any case, it seems the Iraqi dinar waiting for a bright future, in the end it is important to note that Iraq offers a wealth of investment opportunities in many industries with high-based oil and gas reserves of the economy.

These opportunities will become more pronounced in the coming years, as the government will continue to provide new possibilities for international investors.

US airstrikes on Syria: what we know so far

The US has launched a missile strike against Syria for the first time since the civil war began, targeting an airbase from which the US said this week’s chemical weapons attack on civilians was launched by Bashar al-Assad’s regime.

Live Second attack on Syrian town hit by chemical weapons reported after Trump strikes in Idlib – live

American military strike hits airbase in Syria in retaliation for what US president called ‘horrible chemical weapons attack’ in Idlib

What we know so far

The airstrikes targeted Shayrat airbase near Homs. The US has said this is the location from which Syrian forces launched a sarin nerve gas attack on the rebel-held town of Khan Sheikhun on Tuesday morning.

The Pentagon said 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles were launched from the warships USS Ross and Porter in the eastern Mediterranean in the early hours of Friday morning, local time.

A Syrian official told the Associated Press that at least seven were killed and nine were wounded in a US missile attack on the airbase. Reuters reported that the Syrian state news agency said the strikes killed nine civilians, including four children, in areas near the targeted airbase. The death toll has not been independently verified.

Some reports said senior officers had evacuated the base before the airstrikes happened and after foreign countries were notified of an imminent attack by the US.

President Bashar al-Assad’s office said the strike was “foolish and irresponsible” and “revealed its short-sightedness and political and military blindness to reality”. It said the government would redouble its efforts against rebel groups after the strike, adding: “the disgraceful act of targeting a sovereign state’s airport demonstrates once again that different administrations do not change deeper policies.”

Syrian rebels welcomed the strike and called for additional action. “Hitting one airbase is not enough – there are 26 airbases that target civilians,” a key figure in the Army of Islam faction, Mohamed Alloush, said on Twitter. “The whole world should save the Syrian people from the clutches of the killer Bashar [al-Assad] and his aides.

Russia, a Syria ally that has been helping the Assad regime target rebel-held districts, condemned the US action. Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the president regarded the strikes as “aggression against a sovereign state in violation of international law, and under a false pretext”.
Peskov said Trump’s move would have consequences for relations between the two countries. “With this step Washington has struck a significant blow to Russian-American relations, which were already in a sorry state.”

A Russian defence ministry statement read on state television said the US attack had been “ineffective” and claimed Syrian authorities were looking for 36 Tomahawk missiles that fell outside the base and missed the target. The statement also confirmed Russia would stop cooperation and communication with US forces in Syria.

Shortly thereafter, the Russian military said it would help Syria strengthen its air defences after the strike to help “protect the most sensitive Syrian infrastructure facilities”.

The US secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, said the strikes did not indicate a shift in US policy towards Syria, despite it being a significant change from the previous stance taken by the Trump administration. Tillerson said Russia bore responsibility for its handling of the 2013 deal that was supposed to remove Assad’s stockpile of chemical weapons.
The Pentagon confirmed Russia had been told in advance of the strike through military channels, despite earlier claims from Tillerson that there had been no contact.
Hillary Clinton called for the US to “take out” Syrian government-controlled airfields just hours before Trump launched airstrikes.

The world reacts to Trump’s Syria airstrikes

The move was supported by key US allies, including the UK, Australia, Israel and Saudi Arabia. Italy and Japan said they understood the action taken by the US.
The UK defence secretary, Michael Fallon, said the British government was not asked to provide military support to the US attack but believes it was a “wholly appropriate”. “We’re not committed to military action against Syria. Our parliament considered that before, back in 2013, and turned it down,” he said.

Iran, Assad’s regional backer, said it “strongly condemned” the strikes, as it condemned “all unilateral military action”. It said the action was taken under the “pretext” of the chemical strike. Bahram Ghasemi, Tehran’s foreign ministry spokesman, said the attack “strengthens the near-to-death terrorists and complicates the situation in Syria and the whole region”.

The UN coordinator for humanitarian affairs, Jens Laerke, says it had no sign that US military strikes against a Syrian airbase had had “any direct consequence” on overall aid operations in Syria. A UN human rights office spokeswoman, Ravina Shamdasani, said on Friday at a UN briefing that use of chemical weapons, if confirmed, would amount to a war crime.

Nato’s secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, said Assad “bears full responsibility” for the US airstrikes against an airbase in Syria. The European commission said Jean-Claude Juncker “understands efforts to deter future attacks” and that the EU stood ready to play its role in finding a political solution to the crisis.
The Syrian Observatory on Human Rights said airstrikes may have struck Khan Sheikhun on Friday.

Key moments from the U.S.-led campaign in Iraq and Syria

A Tomahawk missile is launched from USS Porter in the Mediterranean Sea.US.-led forces have been carrying out airstrikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria since 2014, but have tried to avoid getting drawn into Syria’s ruinous civil war. On Thursday, President Trump authorized the deployment of cruise missiles against a Syrian air base in retaliation for an apparent poison-gas attack that U.S. officials say was carried out by President Bashar Assad’s military.

Safe Zones As Soft Military Occupation: Trump’s Plan For Syria, Iraq Is Taking Shape

The Trump administration is moving closer to its goal of creating “safe zones” within Syria. Though this strategy may be described as a humanitarian effort, the sizable increase in military presence that it will bring looks more like an invasion in disguise.

Soon after his inauguration, President Trump stoked concerns regarding of U.S. intervention in Syria after announcing his plan to create so-called “safe zones” within Syria. At the time, Trump had ordered Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, along with Secretary of Defense James Mattis, to create a plan within 90 days to create such “zones” within Syria in order to allow refugees in the war-torn nation to “await firm settlement, such as repatriation or potential third-country resettlement.”

Trump stated that this approach was preferable to the strategy adopted by European Union nations that resulted in the controversial influx of millions of refugees from Syria and other countries. As analysts noted at the time, the move, despite its allegedly humanitarian motivations, risked sparking something much more grave: the escalation of U.S. military involvement in Syria, which would greatly heighten the risk of conflict between the US. and the Syrian government, along with its Russian allies.

Now, it appears that Tillerson and Mattis are quickly approaching the completion of their strategy for the establishment of Syrian “safe zones” after Tillerson recently confirmed the administration’s commitment to the measure in both Syria and Iraq at a summit held for a 68-member U.S.-led coalition that is targeting Daesh.

Though the details of the plan have yet to be released, many members of the coalition and members of previous U.S. presidential administrations have voiced their concerns that “safe zones” would be ineffective, concerns that Trump himself once echoed in criticizing Hillary Clinton’s advocacy for such zones in the 2016 election. For example, Portuguese Foreign Minister Augusto Santos Silva stated that his government was “never close to favoring this solution,” arguing that forcing refugees “to stay in their country when you cannot ensure that they won’t be attacked by some of the warring factions” fails to comply with international law.

Indeed, the U.S.-led coalition seems quite unqualified to oversee civilian safety, as bombing campaigns in recent months have claimed more innocent Syrian and Iraqi lives than military actions taken by Daesh or any other faction currently active in those countries.

In addition, tensions between coalition members and some U.S. allies in the region threaten even the feasibility of establishing the zones in the first place. Any plan to establish the zones would require cooperation with Russia and Syria, who are likely to oppose any such measure, as the zones would necessitate a massive increase in the U.S. military presence in Syria. Furthermore, the zones are set to be held by a still undetermined mix of Turkish, Kurdish and Western forces – an unlikely combination due to the often explosive antagonism between the Turks and the Kurds.

Brian McKeon, former undersecretary of defense for policy in the Obama-era Pentagon, echoed such concerns, stating that safe zones would be counter-productive in the fight against Daesh in an interview with Foreign Policy:

“A safe zone in theory assumes some agreement on the part of the Russians, Turks and possibly Syrians to yield sovereignty, or you don’t have agreement. The number of assets it would take to defend against potential attacks would likely be to the detriment of the counter-ISIL campaign.”

Safe Or Subterfuge? Zones Will Bring Large And Enduring Military Presence

Image result for safe zone syria

Considering that such “safe zones” will in no way guarantee safety of any kind and may be entirely impossible to implement due to Turkish-Kurdish tensions, the Trump administration’s commitment to such measures – along with other actions they have recently taken in the region – suggest that their real motivation is something else entirely.

Most telling of all is the fact that the debate over safe zones has coincided with the increased movement of U.S. troops and military assets into Syria and Iraq, such as the U.S.’ recent deployment of 2,500 soldiers to both Iraq and Syria. In addition, the U.S. government has signaled that these troops will remain in those nations long after Daesh is no longer deemed a threat.

For instance, hidden within the announcement of U.S. troop deployment in the Syrian city of Raqqa was the admission that the troops will be “required” to stabilize the region after Daesh’s defeat, as U.S. officials anticipate that “America’s allies” will need assistance in establishing “Syrian-led peacekeeping efforts” in the region for the foreseeable future. As for the forces to be deployed to Iraq, Tillerson confirmed that they would remain in Iraq after the defeat of Daesh in Mosul, despite his promise that no “nation-building” would take place afterwards.

Any additional forces deployed in Syria and Iraq for the establishment of “safe zones” would also ostensibly form part of an indefinite military presence within nations that have not authorized their operations within their borders – making these troop movements tantamount to an invasion. Moreover, the recent announcement from the Pentagon that they would no longer be publicly announcing subsequent troop deployments suggests that the U.S. government is seeking to obfuscate what is set to be a drastic increase in U.S. military presence in both Syria and Iraq – an increase set to spark geopolitical tensions in the region and beyond.

Ultimately, these safe zones – despite their humanitarian function – seem to be nothing more than an excuse to justify an increased U.S. military presence within Syrian and Iraqi borders – forces which, by the military’s own admission, have no intention of leaving anytime soon.

Report .. Is Recovering the Iraqi dinar?

There is no doubt that the main driving force of economic growth in Iraq, is its natural resources, which is reflected in the large number of oil and gas fields, which have become open to international trade.

And investing companies from all over the world in the development of these resources, which is reflected in the increasing oil exports in the country. It seems that Iraq has fully recovered from the damage suffered in the time of Saddam Hussein’s regime.

And on further exploration of Iraq’s oil reserves by international companies that are supposed to lead to a major increase in oil wealth, as well as known reserves in Iraq, it seems the country in spite of all these features have to form a geologist could reach the summit of wealth, unlike countries that spend a lot of money drilling, and this leads having to pay exorbitant costs for the extraction of oil.

A good example of this, the advantages of Iraqi production. The country produces oil, despite the ongoing war in which, unlike Saudi Arabia, which it wants to increase spending to avoid bankruptcy of shale oil production. While oil producers have been affected in the United States because of an attack on Saudi Arabia over Yemen, Iraq still continues its production and sale of oil profitably.

The value of the country’s economy as well as its currency, directly reflected in its natural resources, oil Valahtaatat large Iraqi, enough to push the young democratic economy to prosperity. Given that there is a need for oil, it is indispensable for gas all over the world. The Iraq can look forward to the continued growth through the growing role of the public oil supplier.

Although Iraq was not previously economically exists, but it has become clear and increasingly present a strong regional role given natural Mahmyate. In fact, Iraq’s oil minister said recently that Iraq will produce 5 million barrels per day in the second half of the year 2017.

With the economic boom led by the oil industry in Iraq, the national currency will rise eventually to reflect the true value of the oil indispensability of the country. It is likely to happen up when the central bank raises the value of the dinar.

In addition, the current political events play a key role in predicting the future of the national currency, and the “ban” on the Islamic countries, provoked by the US President, would have significant consequences for the Iraqi economy.

The decision proved Trump by lifting the ban Iraq from the list of travel to the United States, a great benefit to the country’s currency for other foreign currencies Iraqis exchanged more advantageous prices.

In any case, it seems the Iraqi dinar waiting for a bright future, in the end it is important to note that Iraq offers a wealth of investment opportunities in many industries with high-based oil and gas reserves of the economy.

These opportunities will become more pronounced in the coming years, as the government will continue to provide new possibilities for international investors.

 Iraq: Confidence is in the Air

At a major Iraqi business event on Monday, there was a strong sense that Iraq’s fortunes are turning a corner, with the Islamic State group (IS, ISIS, ISIL, Da’esh) on the retreat, and substantial export funding newly available for projects in the country.

More than 250 delegates attended the Iraq Britain Business Council (IBBC)‘s Spring Conference in London, with half of those flying in from Iraq.

Amongst detailed discussions on topics such as energy, finance and technology, several soundbites captured the overall mood of the conference:

“Confidence has returned to Baghdad — it is in the air! Baghdad is confident again, and it’s absolutely wonderful.”

— Baroness Emma Nicholson (pictured), UK Prime Minister’s Trade Envoy to Iraq.

“I am confident that Iraq is recovering.”

— Dr Andrew Parmley, Lord Mayor of the City of London.

“Despite … challenges, I do believe that the trajectory for Iraq is upwards … Don’t be shy in suggesting projects.”

— Frank Baker OBE, British Ambassador to Iraq.

The IBBC Spring Conference focused on the rising confidence of Iraq’s private sector, bringing to attention liberated areas open to investment, and discussing new areas for expansion, such as infrastructure and technology.

Positive for the development of Iraq’s future outlook will have a positive impact among investors

Economy News / translation …A report of the Network (CNBC) American that confidence expressed by Fitch International Foundation bisect the credit of the Iraqi economy last month, which will have a positive impact on investment in Iraq.

Network wrote in its report that Fitch gave Iraq rating B + with a positive outlook for the future, which believes it will be stable, although it is fighting a war against (Daesh).

She added that Fitch placed Iraq at the level of B + due to political risks and instability caused by conflicts going through.

But he noted that the positive outlook for the situation in Iraq will have a positive impact among investors who fear pumping their money in it.

He said the financial expert Stephen Simonis said Iraq can raise growth rates, thanks to its oil reserves and other sectors that can be relied upon.

The report added that the granting of Fitch Iraq this confidence gives the green light to invest in it, pointing out that the Iraq Stock Exchange is working with all his strength since last year, and that there are expectations of re currently allocated for military spending in the budget and give the distribution of funds boost spending on infrastructure and revive the economy.

The Fitch has indicated in its report released in March / last March to improve the financial situation of Iraq, and the expected contraction of the fiscal deficit in the budget to 5.1 percent of GDP this year due to high oil revenues, and increased government spending by 12.1 percent after three years of decline.

___________________________________________________________

This confidence boost may be the starting pistol on Iraq’s Road to becoming a market economy.

War-torn Iraq recently got an unexpected boost on its way to becoming an investment hot spot, which may take its next step sooner than conventional wisdom suggests.

Even as military forces wage a fierce offensive against ISIS, global ratings agency Fitch upgraded last month Iraq’s outlook to stable, based largely on the country’s improving public finances.

To be sure, Iraq’s B+ credit rating is still deeply entrenched in speculative, or junk territory. The low rating reflects what Fitch analysts called political risk and instability associated with the conflict-ridden country that’s “among the highest faced by any sovereign rated by Fitch.”

Yet as a marker for big institutional buyers like hedge funds and sovereign wealth arms, Fitch’s vote of confidence could mark the start of a broader shift among investors about Iraq’s long-term potential. The upgrade could be pivotal for a country still considered besieged, but considered by a handful of savvy market watchers to be a potential diamond in the rough.

“Some analysts say that investors believe that with solid oil reserves and other sectors to build upon, Iraq could have serious growth potential,” said Stephen Simonis Sr., chief currency consultant at online currency broker FXDD Global.

“Clearly this can be looked at from either side, as the willing investor will point out the huge risk/reward possibility as the upside is very enticing,” Simonis told CNBC. “The doubting investor will say the region remains too unstable and the situation remains far too volatile.”

Iraq remains a country to approach with caution, analysts say, roiled by an ISIS insurgency and civil strife. Yet Fitch’s revised outlook could be a green light for buyers of Iraq’s assets, especially at a time when smaller institutional and private investors are seeking long-term opportunities.

In fact, Iraq’s stock market has already been running with at full steam since at least last year, with investors discounting an end to a bloody conflict that’s lasted since the 2003 invasion. Some are looking ahead to the reallocation of military spending and the potential boost to infrastructure spending and economic revival.

While foreigners have been mostly absent from the equity market for the month of March, some are already looking for signs that the Fitch decision could reverse this dynamic.

“Overall, foreign interest in Iraq continues to go through a transformational change in the eyes of global institutional investors,” Ahmed Tabaqchali, chief investment officer of Asia Frontier Capitals Iraq Fund, told CNBC.

In fact, Iraq’s sovereign risk premium has narrowed in an environment of rising yields, just after the country tapped capital markets with a second $1 billion bond offering.

“It seems logical to conclude that this implies favorable interest in Iraq and that it would likely be followed by foreign direct investment and eventually by equity inflows,” Tabaqchali said.

Although Iraq joined other OPEC members in a production cut — a challenge for the country’s oil-reliant economy — some analysts believe the oil sector is managing to stay afloat in an environment of lower prices.
