AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Middle East Diplomacy: Qatar says its mediation team has been shuttling between Washington and Tehran for nearly two weeks to restart US-Iran talks, stressing any solution must protect key waterways like the Strait of Hormuz. Iraq Sovereignty & Security: Iraq is being pulled into the Iran-war spillover, with reports of drones striking Saudi infrastructure and Baghdad confirming the attacks originated on Iraqi soil, while the US also issued regional travel and security alerts that included Iraq. Trade & Borders: Iraq and Syria are working to ease truck traffic and restart passenger services at the Al-Waleed-Tanf border crossing after more than 11 years of closure, aiming to boost western trade and reduce delays for tanker drivers. Fuel & Inflation Pressure: Iraq’s Oil Ministry is expected to cut prices for some unsubsidized fuel products as lawmakers warn higher costs are hitting institutions and consumers. Banking & FX: The Central Bank of Iraq says foreign reserves are sufficient to meet demand and blames parallel-market dollar swings on speculation and manipulation; meanwhile, CBI data show reserves fell to $80.63bn in July. Payments: Qi Card reports limited disruptions to card services abroad but says cards remain operational and fees follow the CBI exchange rate. Public Payroll: Iraq’s draft 2027 budget includes moving contract and daily-paid workers onto the permanent payroll, including in the Kurdistan Region. Food Safety: A Najaf case involving wild-boar meat sold as livestock meat has shaken consumer trust and shifted some buyers toward chicken.
