President Aoun to revive Lebanon-Iraq relations: Focus on energy, debt and trade
Shafaq News/ Lebanese President Joseph Aoun's upcoming visit to Baghdad aims to revive ties with Iraq, focusing on energy cooperation, debt resolution, and economic partnership, according to political analyst George Al-Aqouri. 'Aoun will seek to expand the 2021 fuel deal, under which Iraq supplied Lebanon with one million tons of fuel oil annually,' Al-Aqouri told Shafaq News. Talks may also cover leasing natural gas and restarting the Kirkuk–Tripoli pipeline, currently halted by sanctions on Syria. Despite owing Iraq over $2 billion—including $1.2 billion from the fuel deal—Lebanon has paid only $118 million. Iraq has continued deliveries, which he described as 'a gesture of Arab solidarity.' The visit could also advance cooperation in agriculture, tourism, and infrastructure. With rising numbers of Iraqi tourists, Al-Aqouri urged both sides to ease travel and promote local trade for mutual benefit. On the political front, the analyst said both countries share a commitment to sovereignty and non-interference, noting, 'Lebanon is trying to reclaim full authority and block proxy influence,' he noted. Aoun's trip follows his absence from the Arab Summit in Baghdad, seen by some as a 'missed diplomatic opportunity.' The visit is now viewed as a step toward resolving outstanding issues and reestablishing coordination.

Iraq's exports $2.7B in oil to Italy in 2024
Shafaq News/ Iraq delivered $2.68B in oil shipments to Italy in 2024, maintaining its role as a key energy supplier to the European market, official trade data showed. The exports included 4.32 million tonnes of crude oil worth $2.44B, in addition to 435,532 tonnes of petroleum-based derivatives, which generated $242.57M. The total reflected a modest 1% growth in value compared to 2020, indicating consistent trade volumes over the past five years. Italy imports Iraqi oil through long-term agreements with energy firms such as Eni and Saras, which refine the crude in southern Europe, the country being one of Iraq's top European clients, alongside rising demand from other EU nations seeking to diversify supply amid geopolitical shifts. Iraq, a founding member of OPEC, continues to depend on oil for over 90% of its government revenue. Despite production cuts under the OPEC+ agreement, Baghdad's fuel oil exports are projected to reach record highs in 2024, with total oil shipments surpassing 1.2 billion barrels globally.

Iraq's top advisor to speculators: We're not in financial trouble
Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani's Financial Advisor, Mudher Muhammad Saleh, dismissed speculation of a looming financial crisis in Iraq, crediting the country's economic stability to 'prudent fiscal policy.' Saleh told Shafaq News that Iraq relies on oil revenues to finance about 90% of public expenditures, while government spending constitutes roughly 50% of GDP, noting, 'This spending drives around 85% of total demand in the economy.' He cautioned that Iraq must remain vigilant amid global trade tensions and energy market disruptions, noting that oil prices seem to be entering a new downturn. This, he said, has led to closer coordination between the country's fiscal and monetary authorities. 'Iraq has weathered similar oil cycles since 2014 and succeeded in preserving economic stability,' he added. The economic expert further pointed out that the government is enforcing stricter fiscal discipline on revenues and expenditures, coordinating with the central bank to cover deficits without disrupting essential outlays. Ensuring sufficient liquidity to meet national needs remains a top priority. Earlier, the Parliamentary Finance Committee warned of a potential future crisis amid falling oil prices and inadequate safeguards to cushion Iraq's economy. Economic experts blamed the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank for weak monetary circulation and declining public trust in the banking sector. Official data showed that Iraq's money supply has reached around 127 trillion dinars (96.52 billion USD), with 70% of it held outside the banking system. Additionally, oil revenues reportedly dropped by 15% in April, compounding pressure on strategic reserves.
