The current oil crisis is competing for and taking over market shares by increasing the supply of oil and reducing prices through discounts offered to the oil market in the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
On another hand, Corona’s crisis may extend from 3 to 6 months, the effects are still not calculated, therefore economic policies will be strict in terms of spending, especially in energy-consuming countries, while it will recover after October, according to most forward-looking studies and forecasts for the status of the international economy.
Iraq is one of the countries that depend on oil sales proceeds by 92% annually and we are in great trouble now for the budget in 2020.
The strategic solution for Iraq now is only to increase the source oil production by deducting prices to the Middle East countries by 4 dollars for April + May + June contracts and a $ 8 discount for Asian countries for April + May + June contracts and 12 dollars for Europe for April + May + June contracts 2020 in order to maintain the consuming markets.
Simulating the advanced method of energy security leadership and its interlocking with foreign policy, and therefore we call the following: –
– A meeting between the Ministry of Oil, SOMO Company, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of Trade in order to develop a joint plan to develop a plan (diplomatic – commercial) to lend, market and sell Iraqi oil.
– Holding individual and joint conferences of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in terms of administration, coordination and leadership, the role of the Ministry of Oil is the main speaker on (the ministry’s new pricing policy).
