Washington: 'No decision yet' on the import of Iranian electricity to Iraq
May 30, 2019
A Foreign Ministry spokeswoman said on Wednesday that Foreign Minister Mike Pompeo had not yet decided to extend a 90-day suspension of sanctions on electricity Iraq buys from Iran.
The State Department said on March 20 it would allow Iraq to continue to buy electricity from Iran for another 90 days without sanctions, but urged Baghdad to find alternative sources of energy.
"The minister has not taken a decision on this," spokeswoman Morgan Ortagos told reporters.
A power shortage that often leaves homes without electricity for up to 20 hours a day is a key factor behind weeks of major protests in Iraq during the summer.
To overcome this shortfall, Iraq imports up to 28 million cubic meters of natural gas from Tehran to its factories and directly buys 1,300 megawatts of Iranian electricity.
This dependence is uncomfortable for the United States, which sought to reduce Tehran's influence and re-impose sanctions on Iranian financial institutions, shipping lines, the energy sector and oil products.

5-29-2019 Newshound Guru Adam Montana We are just about through Ramadan, and this holiday has been a busy one. Historically, nothing significant has happened during Ramadan. To be more to the point, nothing at all usually happens during Ramadan...that has not been the case! I won't get into the "list" this morning, but Iraq has been very productive. Things are advancing! Ramadan is over around the 4th of June (it's different for some areas). Eid al fitr follows. The bottom line for us is pretty simple... once Ramadan is over, there is a short following holiday, and then it's "game on" for government and we are officially ready for big things. ...OIL - saw a little dip, but still stable and trending solid. No worries there.

5-29-2019 Intel Guru Bruce Now, if the ATMS are on in the airports in Iraq, they are probably turned on elsewhere, but we know specifically the ones at the airport are working with lower denominations. That means you have an in-country revaluation of the Iraqi Dinar. Now, we know that certain things that happen even in Iraq are kept from us here until the exact proper time for it to be revealed...Things are quiet. People are under NDAs or gag orders, and that even though we do not like not getting something sometimes, that is a good sign. That means things are right there...I am going to tell you that we are very close. [post 2 of 2]
5-29-2019 Intel Guru Bruce [via PinkRoses] I want people to realize that this is a real thing. This is happening. This is a global currency reset. This is not just the revaluation of one currency or two currencies...I feel very confident about what it is we are waiting for...Things were looking like we were going to get started over the weekend. We read things about it. We saw some things. There was a possibility of it, but guess what? Didn’t get it. We know Iraq on Saturday turned on their ATM machines at the airports with the lower denominations. [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Standard & Poor's: Gulf bank merger is nearing completion
2019/05/29 10:16
Standard & Poor's Ratings said on Tuesday that the current wave of interbank mergers is nearing completion.
"Most of the mergers so far have been between the banks that share the main shareholders, so the number of banks with a similar level of ownership has declined, meaning a decline in mergers and acquisitions," the agency said in a report. The report said that the large remaining banks in the region lack common shareholders, meaning that future mergers will be more difficult unless economic considerations force stakeholders to negotiate integration. The Gulf region has witnessed several banking mergers over the past three years, particularly in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The merger of Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank, Union National Bank and Al Hilal Bank and the merger of First Bank, Saudi British Bank, (SABB). The reason for the current wave of mergers and acquisitions among banks in the region is the desire of banks to enhance efficiency, privilege and pricing power. More interbank mergers were expected to enhance performance and stability, given the large number of banks in some Gulf banking systems. But it expected a new wave of acquisitions later, for purely economic reasons, but it would take longer to materialize. On the motives behind renewed Gulf banks' interest in mergers over the past 24 months, the agency said it included a decline in economic conditions since the second half of 2014, when oil prices began to fall. According to the report, 6 of the 8 mergers since 2014 have benefited from joint shareholders in the acquired bank and the acquired bank. .

The Iranian Consul General in the province of Sulaymaniyah, Saadullah Masoudian, said in a press statement that the election of Barzani, "a prominent figure and strong for the presidency of the region is an important event will light the way to improve relations between Iran and the Kurdistan region."
"The election of the president of the Kurdistan region is an important event, and I find it necessary to congratulate the people of Kurdistan by electing a prominent and strong figure such as Nechirvan Barzani for the post." "There is no doubt that the election of Barzani will light the way to improve relations between Iran and the Kurdistan region and I hope to see as soon as the priority in the work of the President-elect of the region is to form a stable government and follow-up welfare programs and develop the Kurdistan region." As for the non-participation of the PUK in the parliamentary session for the election of the President of the Kurdistan region, Masoudian said: "I think that the PUK did not vote negatively, but did not participate in the vote, and may be the result of misunderstanding between two parties in the Kurdistan region is bad Temporary understanding ". "If Iran wanted two administrations in the Kurdistan region to intervene to solve the problems between the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and the Kurdistan Democratic Party, there is no doubt that this idea is not true. As long as the Kurdistan region is unified, its provinces will be managed," said the Iranian consul general in Sulaymaniyah. Under one look and under the authority of a single government, no doubt this is better for the Islamic Republic of Iran. " Masoudian also said that the president of the Kurdistan region is the head of the provinces of Sulaymaniyah, Erbil, Dohuk and Halabja, and the past experiences of Najirvan Barzani, it shows that does not distinguish between these provinces.
