Butterfly   OPEC has all of us by the throat.....  World Bank: Oil prices will not decline before 2023

Thursday 21 October 2021 21:43 The World Bank expected, today, Thursday, that oil prices will not decline before 2023, while stressing that the rise may threaten global growth.

In its report, in which it presented its forecasts for commodity prices, the bank stated that crude prices are expected to record $70 per barrel at the end of the year, which is 70 percent higher compared to 2020, and this in turn causes a rise in the prices of other energy commodities such as natural gas, according to the report.

"The rise in energy prices poses significant risks to global inflation in the near term, and if it continues, it could affect growth in energy importing countries," said World Bank chief economist Ayhan Kose.

The rises were "more pronounced than expected, and policy choices have been complicated as countries recover from last year's global recession."

Oil prices have risen in recent weeks to more than $80 a barrel, reaching their highest levels in years, with economies reopening following lockdown measures to curb the epidemic and shipping bottlenecks.

The World Bank uses the average prices of Brent, West Texas Intermediate and Dubai, which it said will remain "at high levels in 2022, but will begin to decline in the second half of the year as supply constraints ease."

Average prices are expected to rise in 2022 to reach $74 before declining to $65 in 2023, according to the World Bank.

However, the report warns of “the possibility of an additional price hike in the near term, amid a severe drop in inventories and ongoing supply bottlenecks.” https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=934574

Butterfly  British newspaper: The low turnout and the large number of appeals make the Iraqi elections meaningless

Posted, 2021-10-22  British newspaper - The low turnout and the large number of appeals make the Iraqi elections meaninglessA report by the British newspaper The National confirmed, Thursday, that Iraq is going through a constant state of change as the final approved results have not yet been announced, as many Iraqi parties continue to reject the results of the early parliamentary elections in the country, while the next few weeks will witness an increase in rumors about potential candidates For the position of Prime Minister and political parties that may join a coalition government.

The report stated that “the process of forming alliances and the race that is taking place from them and currently underway in Baghdad may take months, as happened after the previous elections, but the most worrying thing is the high number of appeals regarding fraud and tampering with ballot boxes. The longer the process lasts, the more harmful it is to potentially stable transmission.”

He added, “The appeals submitted regarding forgery and fraud will be sent by the Independent High Electoral Commission to the Judicial Committee, which will then consider it. Once the committee has decided on these appeals, the results will be sent to the Federal Supreme Court for ratification. When it is ratified, Iraqi President Barham Salih will have to convene Parliament, and at every step there will be problems affecting the results.”

He explained, “There are many important questions about the final counting of votes that raise doubts about the entire process. The process itself has been undermined by the fact that it has recorded the lowest voter turnout in any election since 2003. With only 41 percent of registered voters and 36 percent of all eligible voters casting ballots, it is clear that the electoral process does not have the legitimacy it claims Politicians”.

butterfly   Political analyst: What the international press has diagnosed is a setback for the commission and proof of great manipulation

2021-10-22  Political analyst - What the international press has diagnosed is a setback for the commission and proof of great manipulationPolitical analyst Hazem Al-Bawi confirmed that the Electoral Commission now, after this wave of problems raised against it locally and even internationally, is in an unenviable position that it should have placed itself in from the beginning.

Al-Bawi told Al-Maalouma, “What was raised by the international press, most recently (The National), which considered that the Electoral Commission received this huge amount of appeals, is evidence of a major manipulation of the results, which undermines the credibility of the electoral process in international public opinion.”

He added, “This problem raised by the London newspaper came hours after the agency (Agency France Press) and others confirmed the existence of a series of criticisms regarding what happened that calls for a serious pause to preserve the credibility of the practice that was said to be democratic in Iraq.”

Al-Bawi was surprised that the commission fell into a contradiction in terms of the stations in which the votes were counted, when it stated two days before the results were announced that the manual counting and sorting completely matched the electronic one, after which it returned with hesitant procedures that undermined its first claim of announcing the results 24 hours after the elections.   burathanews.com
