KTFA:Samson: Iran and Russia delete the dollar from financial transactions and start dealing with the riyal and the ruble
29th July, 2022
After 5 years of talks between Iran and Russia regarding the necessity of removing the US dollar from the trade exchange between the two countries, it was announced in Tehran that implementation had begun.
On the sidelines of Russian President Putin’s visit to Iran, the governor of the Central Bank of Iran, Ali Saleh Abadi, announced last Wednesday that Tehran and Moscow have started dealing in the Iranian riyal against the Russian ruble in their bilateral exchanges, and that commodity exporters can sell the ruble they get from the Russian side in the Iranian market to import goods. from Russia.
Coinciding with the two countries' deletion of the dollar currency from their trade exchanges, the Iranian currency exchange began trading in the Russian ruble and the Iranian riyal.
Face sanctions
Observers in Iran believe that the adoption of national currencies in the exchanges of Tehran and Moscow comes in the context of facing US sanctions, and strengthening bilateral cooperation between them away from the global financial system "SWIFT".
In this context, economic researcher Gholam Reza Moghadam believes that US sanctions on Tehran's financial exchanges, especially on its oil exports, were a major reason for Tehran's proposal to adopt national currencies in its trade exchanges.
In his speech to Al-Jazeera Net, Moghadam described the deletion of the dollar from Iran and Russia's exchanges as a practical step to circumvent the US ban on their use of the global exchange system "Swift", explaining that Iran had officially joined the Russian exchange system in 2019 but had not yet reaped its fruit.

Samson: Iraq and Saudi Arabia compensate for Russian oil supplies in European markets
29th July, 2022
Iraq and Saudi Arabia are transferring more crude oil to Europe, helping the continent's oil refineries to replace Russian oil.
More than one million barrels of crude oil per day made its way from the Middle East to Europe during the first weeks of July through a pipeline that crosses Egypt, according to ship-tracking data compiled by Bloomberg. Oil shipments have doubled in volumes from a year ago. Most of the oil flowing through the pipeline is Saudi, and Iraq is seeking to ramp up deliveries as well.
Oil companies can deliver their shipments either through the SUMED pipeline in Egypt or pass directly through the Suez Canal, if their ships are small, as is the case for Iraq. The volumes of oil flows through the pipeline increased from about 800,000 barrels per day during the previous month to reach the highest levels since the short-term increase that occurred when prices fell sharply in April 2020.
In addition to those flows, about 1.2 million barrels per day were shipped from the Persian Gulf through the Suez Canal during the first three weeks of July, most of it coming from Iraq. Which could raise total flows from the Middle East to Europe to 2.2 million barrels per day, an increase of nearly 90% since January, the last month before the launch of the Russian war on Ukraine.
The shift comes as Russian oil volumes increase in the opposite direction, from its Baltic and Black Sea ports to buyers in India and China. This is given the abundance of cheap oil in the two Asian countries at a time when fuel prices were rising. Commenting on Middle East oil, Giovanni Stonovo, commodities analyst at UBS Group AG, said: "We are now seeing some of those barrels being redirected away from Asia to Europe." This comes as Europe reduces its purchases of Russian oil and instead sends its oil to a major market in the Middle East and Asia.
It is not certain whether flows from the Middle East to Europe will be sustainable in such quantities. At the end of this year, the European Union's ban on Russian crude oil is due to come into effect. Part of the sanctions package includes a ban on securing shipments of Russian supplies to any buyers. LINK

Samson: Economist: Iraq Has Many Opportunities To Invest In Oil Instead Of Selling It
28th July, 2022
On Thursday, economic analyst Younis Al-Kaabi confirmed that Iraq has many opportunities to invest in oil with many major countries, similar to the agreement with France, which provides for obtaining oil in exchange for the export of aircraft to Iraq.
Al-Kaabi said in an interview with Al-Maalouma that "there are many agreements that did not see the light of day, especially with South Korea, which was to build Iraqi infrastructure in exchange for oil," stressing that "the Russian war with Ukraine will increase the rise in oil prices because the signs of the global crisis have begun." Her features appear.
He added, "The Chinese agreement, whose contract with Iraq was not completed, would have served the country a lot by pledging to build thousands of schools and residential complexes, as well as state institutions, according to the development and modernity that has not entered Iraq so far."
He continued, "If Iraq takes such strategies and concludes agreements, the rise or fall of global oil prices in the future will not directly affect the work of Iraq's future projects."
Global oil prices rose in all countries, as a result of the global war between Russia and Ukraine and Russia's decision to stop the export of oil and gas to Europe and America. LINK
