Problems facing Iraq's oil industry in 2015 with lower oil prices- lack of resources for needed investment in older oil fields in the south, and loss of supplies with the conflict in the Kurdish north
03/11/2015
The older oil fields in the Basra region in the south need major investments to offset declining production. Oil production in the Kurdish region in the north has suffered from the invasion by Islamic State. Oil prices at $56 in the budget leave a deficit of $20 billion for Iraq. Iraq needs a price over $100 to balance the budget. An alternative is for Iraq to issue $10-15 billion in bonds for much needed investments in oil fields. Iraq depends on western oil companies for investment and modernization, yet many of these companies have not been paid for earlier work.

Winners and losers in emerging markets in 2015 with lower oil prices- Turkey and India are winners, China a beneficiary, Russia, Venezuela and Brazil are losers
01/18/2015
The economic prospects of emerging market countries have changed significantly since 2013. In Turkey political problems and a high current account deficit led to a slump in the lira and high interest rate policies by early 2014. In India the Congress party government let the economy drift in 2013 with no action taken. The newly elected Modi adminstration in 2014 and now lower oil prices are giving a major boost to economic growth in India. China with huge oil imports is also a beneficiary as it tackles problems from the boom years and growth slows to below 7%.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
