Iraq's 5-year plan targets 6mln bpd output

Iraq aims to pump nearly six million barrels per day (bpd) of oil towards the end of its 2024-2028 development plans that projects annual income of more than $100 billion. The plan also targets a sharp increase in gas production by slashing the gas flaring ratio to just 10 percent from nearly 60 percent at present. 'The current development plan aims to increase oil production to six million bpd and expand the use of associated gas to 90 percent,' said Mudhar Saleh, an economic adviser to Iraq's prime minister Mohammed Al-Sudani. Saleh told Iraq's Aliqtisad News agency that the non-oil sector could also provide more than 50 percent of the national income at the end of the plan while new petrochemical projects would boost their contribution to GDP by nearly five percent. Saleh said the plan is different from previous development schemes because it will be assessed every six months instead of one year and it is based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Iraq last week unveiled the new five-year plan which forecast revenues of around 710 trillion Iraqi dinars ($545 billion) during the 2024-2028 development plan, mostly from oil exports. The revenues at an average $109 billion per year will allow the government to pump enough investments to attain the targeted annual growth of more than four percent during the plan, planning ministry spokesman Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi said. In comments published by the official Iraqi news agency, Al-Hindawi said nearly half the expected investments by the public and private sectors would be channeled into the oil industry and housing. He said oil revenues are projected at around IQD 631 trillion ($485 billion) during the plan, nearly 89 percent of the total revenues. Sitting atop the world's fifth largest recoverable oil deposits, Iraq has launched a scheme to expand oil output capacity by more than 30 percent to six million bpd as it projects higher OPEC Plus quota due to an expected rise in global demand. OPEC's second largest oil producer has awarded nearly 30 oilfield development contracts over the past two years to foreign firms, including France's TotalEnergies, BP and Chinese companies.

South Africa: MTN faces new US investigation into Afghanistan conduct

South African mobile network operator MTN Group is facing an investigation by a US Department of Justice grand jury into its conduct and that of its former subsidiary in Afghanistan and an Iranian cellphone carrier it partly owns, the company said. The news and a slight downward revision of its medium-term service revenue outlook for its domestic market sent its shares tumbling 9% on Monday, overshadowing results showing it made a half-year profit following a loss a year earlier. Group CEO Ralph Mupita told reporters that Africa's biggest telecoms operator had been informed by its external US counsel of the DOJ grand jury investigation, adding that it was cooperating and voluntarily responding to requests for information. Mupita declined further comment on the case MTN faces other ongoing legal cases in the United States filed on behalf of American service members and civilians who were injured or killed in Iraq and Afghanistan between 2005 and 2010 who accuse it of violating the US Anti-Terrorism Act. "The plaintiffs' complaints allege that MTN supported anti-American militias in Iraq and Afghanistan through its participation in Irancell," the company said in a statement. MTN owns 49% of Irancell. "Jurisdictional discovery in the cases, ordered in July 2023, has now closed and the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on 6 August 2025," the company said. "The amended complaint now includes additional claims against MTN, which are similar to those asserted in the three other pending ATA (US Anti-Terrorism Act) cases in which MTN is involved. MTN will file a Motion to Dismiss the amended complaint." MTN shares fell as much as 9% before closing down 8.4%. "(The) shares have done very well coming into these (half-year) results so part of the selloff could also be profit-taking by short-term investors, given the US investigations could be an overhang," said Peter Takaendesa, chief investment officer at Mergence Investment Managers. MTN is also facing challenges in growing service revenue in its home market due to pricing pressures, intense competition and weak consumer spending. Based on assumptions regarding market conditions and outlook in South Africa, it revised its medium-term guidance for service revenue growth in South Africa to low to mid-single digits from mid-single digits. It reported headline earnings per share of 645 cents in the six months to 30 June, compared to a headline loss of 256 cents a year earlier, as macroeconomic conditions, inflation and foreign exchange rates in Nigeria and Ghana showed improved stability. Group service revenue grew by 23.2% to R105.1bn ($5.97bn) as data and fintech revenues increased by 36.5% and 37.3%, respectively. ($1 = R17.6063)
