Al-Saadi said that "Iraq achieved a great financial abundance after the significant rise in international oil prices, which raised the central bank's reserves to more than 80 billion dollars."
He added, "The increase in oil prices and cash reserves will enable the new government to gradually reduce the dollar exchange rate during the next stage, as this is considered one of the first decisions that can serve the people."
And he indicated that "there is a suitable ground to attract foreign investments to establish oil refineries in the governorates and work to export derivatives and thus return to the country with large revenues, in addition to achieving self-sufficiency in derivatives, and in the end, the government's high exchange rate achieved can be achieved through other doors." finished 25 LINK

Energy Economy News – Baghdad On Thursday, Adviser to the Prime Minister, Abdel-Hussein Hanin, called for the abolition of the ministries of oil and electricity, and the establishment of the Ministry of Energy.
Haneen wrote in a post on his Facebook wall, “Talking about reform will not be fruitful without turning into a brave and realistic application that refuses to listen to the undecided and the beneficiaries, and there is no file in Iraq in which reform can be started better than the energy sector, because it still represents 95% of Iraq's direct financial imports.
He added, "As for the reluctance to reform this sector and to be satisfied with talking (entertainment) in seminars and conferences, it means more waste and lost opportunities, and consequently the continued decline of the development total for the rest of the other sectors, as energy is considered the locomotive that leads the economy and that the energy sector in Iraq is still It is the most dangerous place in contracts, and it is the focus of exceptional decisions that go beyond the instructions for concluding contracts, and do not take into account the instructions for implementing the budget law, under the pretext of the lack of competition and the monopoly of contracted companies.
He continued, "That is why I think it is imperative that we courageously abolish the ministries of oil and electricity, and establish the Ministry of Energy with a law or a temporary bylaw that complies with the law of the ministry to be legislated later, and we believe that this ministry should include:
1- The National Oil Company instead of the Ministry of Oil
2- The National Electricity Company instead of the Ministry of Electricity
3- The National Gas Company instead of the gas companies in the Ministry of Oil
4- The Iraqi Atomic Energy Commission
5- All the remaining current companies and institutions of the Ministry of Oil that are not associated with any of the above companies
