rcookie: Standard & Poor's credit classified Iraq for the first time

09-04-2915

Standard & Poor's said it ranked first sovereign debt of Iraq and awarded him the degree of "B minus", and attributed the granting of this low-grade credit to the gravity of the threats to the country, most notably the circuit between Iraqi forces and war organization of the Islamic state.

American foundation said in a statement that "Iraq faces security and institutional risk", pointing out that these risks are "the highest among all the countries that are its sovereign debt evaluation."

Standard & Poor's reported that there are difficulties in establishing permanent institutions in Iraq because of the existing divisions between the constituent communities of the country, and between risk also pressure on the budget due to the large drop in oil prices globally, which constitutes a significant risk to investors.

rcookie: Stable look

On the other hand, the institution pointed out that Iraq has huge reserves and has significant oil exports, which prompted Standard & Poor's to attach a credit rating outlook stable outlook, pointing out that the economic growth of the country will remain stable in the medium term due to the surge in crude production, which will ease pressures on the budget.

And Iraq is expected to grow by 5% in the next three years, according to Standard & Poor's estimates that the economy will grow this year by 0.3%, the Foundation also expects oil production of the country in the past year increases of 3.1 million barrels per day to five million a year 2018.

The Fitch credit rating awarded Iraq early August / August last for the first time assigned a credit and gave him the same degree awarded by Standard & Poor's, while not issued by Moody's reducing time any classification, and are the three largest institutions and rating agencies and credit in the world.

BGG rcookie: I think this is along the lines of WB/IMF implied "punishment" as anything - what say you??

rcookie: And comes Baghdad for the first credit ratings as it seeks to issue bonds international value of five billion dollars, it is the first since 2006, in order to rebalance the public finances of the country, which are found in a difficult situation as a result of declining oil revenues and rising government spending.

rcookie: exactly...BGG what the IMF outlined in their G20 preamble with Central Banks & Finance Ministers meeting in Turkey. They need the structural reforms to support the private sector transition

rcookie: "Iraq faces security and institutional risk", pointing out that these risks are "the highest among all the countries that are its sovereign debt evaluation."

BGG rcookie: "structural reforms" as is - get rid of Maliki and ditch the corruption...

rcookie: Exactly!

BGG rcookie: "institutional risk" - very interesting choice of words...
BGG rcookie: meaning - a threat to their institutions...

rcookie: here is the link for the IMF Playbook...http://ift.tt/1JAB9qK

BGG: Quite honestly folks - the news is a real mixed bag. Some good - some not so good.
BGG: and some downright confusing...

BGG: personally - I think it's all about these reforms right now.
BGG: I sure hope Abadi hasn't bitten off more than he can chew.

BGG: there is one report of Khomenei and Ameri both "supporting" Mahmoud (a Shia) which should be a dead-giveaway as to what has been going on in Iraq up until now.

rcookie: while every other province in the country has thousands demonstrating for his head!

BGG: I also hope the "rank-and-file" in Iraq rejects such sectarian support from outside the country

BGG rcookie: Yup - and that is a point worth noting - the demonstrations calling for Mahmoud to step down are sounding more and more legit today...

rcookie: especially Sistani...demanding action not words!

BGG rcookie: whereas the last few mentions (and pics) were not looking too serious...
BGG rcookie: totally agreed - Sistani is for real

quicktolegit96: XE IS CURRENTLY SHOWING 1141, IT HAS BEEN RELATIVELY STABLE AND DROPPING - DOES THIS HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE NOTE COUNT IN IRAQ

BGG quicktolegit96: it does not.

BGG quicktolegit96: that is just an illustrated weakness in whatever currency the IQD is being compared to on the calculator (at any given time).

CanTWaitwoRV: more like I got something to add to the rcookie post...

BGG CanTWaitwoRV: Please do!!

CanTWaitwoRV BGG: protestors are closing down govt buildings

BGG CanTWaitwoRV: Sweet!!

Pablo: Do we have any more updates on when these laws are going to be voted on?

BGG Pablo: Not that I know of - further - I am skeptical of legit updates anywhere we might have access to them...

BGG Pablo: I just don't think - unless they are advertised... that what we hear is legit.

rcookie: 2000 US soldiers confirmed to be front line implemented in ANBAR

BGG rcookie: I noted that - I was curious about the 7,000 tribal fighters willing to help with the liberation of Anbar.

BGG rcookie: very curious.
