Militia Man  Back in the old days...when Saddam Hussein was around, when their valuations were out [$3.22], they were valuing based off of what?  Oil.  They didn't have non-oil revenues.  Times have changed.  They need to renew all of that...They've had plenty of time to do research and analysis to...provide an appraisal for the people that need to know the numbers.

Clare   Article:  "Prime Minister's Advisor Announces Increase in Non-Oil Revenues Compared to Previous Years"  Quote: "Saleh...oil revenues (semi-annual) for the year 2023 amounted to 53.88 trillion dinars, while non-oil revenues amounted to nearly 0.42 trillion dinars (during the six months of the same year 2023)," indicating that "oil revenues in the first half of the year 2024 amounted to 58.80 trillion dinars, while non-oil revenues (at the end of the first half of the year 2024) rose to reach 7.18 trillion dinars"
