Egyptian firms discuss natural gas developments in Iraq
Mohamed Qandil, Chairman and Managing Director of Modern Gas, and Ibrahim Motawea, Chairman and Managing Director of Petromaint, met with Ezzat Saber, the Undersecretary of the Iraqi Ministry of Oil for Gas Affairs, on the sidelines of the inaugural edition of the Iraq Oil and Gas Technology Exhibition (OiGatech 2025), held recently at Baghdad International Fairground in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, according to Egypt Oil & Gas.
The two parties discussed supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) to residential areas, buildings, and hotels, aiming to maximize the use of the significant quantities of available LNG.
These negotiations are in line with the Iraqi government's ambitious growth plan for residential complexes, which aims to build one million housing units.
This proposal calls for the construction of an underground LNG network system with central stations, which will include phases such as design, installation, operation, and maintenance.
Additionally, to improve the environment and reduce carbon emissions while also increasing output through the reuse of available resources, the meeting addressed options for collaboration on the utilization of flared gas.

Waiting for work: Iraq's youthquake that never hit
Shafaq News At 26, Maryam from Babil province holds a degree in administration and economics, yet her path to stable employment has been fraught with obstacles. After graduation, she was eager to start her career but quickly confronted the harsh reality of stalled public sector recruitment. As the Iraqi government hiring slowed to a crawl, competition for stable jobs grew fiercer. Determined not to be sidelined, Maryam shifted her focus to the private sector. She honed new skills to increase her competitiveness and ultimately secured a position. Yet even in the private sector, challenges persisted—intense competition, job insecurity, and unstable wages shaped her daily experience. Maryam's story reflects the struggles faced by thousands of young graduates across Iraq. She urges the government to collaborate with the private sector in launching comprehensive training programs, promoting entrepreneurship, and bolstering small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). For her, these steps are vital not only for economic recovery but also for restoring hope and dignity among Iraq's youth. 'Many of us are willing to work hard—we just need someone to invest in our potential,' she reflected to Shafaq News. 'We don't want to wait years for a job that may never come.' Idle Majority Iraq's population is overwhelmingly young, over 61% are under the age of 30, totaling nearly 28.7 million people in a country of 47 million. This demographic should serve as a tremendous advantage, yet it has become a pressing concern. In 2024, the International Labour Organization reported rates to exceed 36%, which is more than triple the national adult unemployment rate. Among young women, unemployment soars past 65%. A 2023 World Bank study further revealed that nearly 28% of university graduates under 30 remain unemployed, highlighting a severe mismatch between academic qualifications and market needs. 'We've entered a period where youth energy is overflowing, but the market is too weak to channel it,' economist Ali Al-Darraji told Shafaq News. Each year, approximately 700,000 young Iraqis enter the workforce. However, the state, historically the largest employer, can no longer absorb new graduates at scale. The public sector is saturated, while the private sector remains underdeveloped and unable to create sufficient job opportunities. Cracks in the Core Economist Safwan Qusai underscored the urgent need to refocus national efforts on human development, emphasizing that vocational and technical training, rather than solely academic degrees, offer the most effective pathway to bridge the skills gap and prepare youth for a globalized economy. 'We must invest in specialized tracks that reflect where global demand is headed—not just where tradition tells us to go,' Qusai urged in an interview with our agency. With around 15 million Iraqis of working age, Qusai stressed the importance of developing specialized certificates for high-demand skills. 'Shifting from theoretical knowledge to applied skills will lower labor costs, boost productivity, and expand employment across sustainable development sectors,' he noted. Currently, Iraq's private sector contributes only 37% to GDP, compared to over 60% in neighboring Jordan. Less than 18% of young Iraqis hold formal jobs in the private sector, while many remain underemployed or trapped in the informal economy. This structural weakness limits job creation, especially in impoverished provinces. The expert also highlighted the Central Bank's 4-trillion-dinar initiative (approximately $3.1 billion) as a crucial instrument for Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) growth. To date, over 2.1 trillion dinars (around $1.6 billion) have been allocated to nearly 10,000 small businesses, many youth-led or based in high-unemployment areas. Riyada Initiative In response to these challenges, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani launched the 'Riyada' (Entrepreneurship) initiative in March 2023 to nurture innovation and self-reliance among Iraq's youth. Currently, over 828 training halls operate nationwide, supported by more than 1,000 certified trainers who equip aspiring entrepreneurs with essential skills. The program also facilitates access to financing through local banks, providing capital to transform ideas into viable businesses. Hussein Falamarz, the program's Executive Director and Adviser to the Prime Minister, described the initiative's five-step framework: online registration, in-person training, project feasibility assessment, digital loan applications, and a 10-year follow-up process. 'What distinguishes Riyada is its long-term vision—we're not handing out jobs, we're helping youth build livelihoods,' Falamarz explained to Shafaq News, adding, 'We are creating an ecosystem where young Iraqis can build their future without waiting for a government job.' He also noted that many of the program's beneficiaries, once excluded from the economy, are now contributing through their own ventures, stressing that plans are underway to expand 'Riyada' to the Kurdistan Region so that thousands more youth can benefit. Invest in the Youth Economic researcher Ahmed Abdul-Rahbeh viewed Iraq's youthful population not as a burden but as a strategic asset capable of propelling long-term development—if properly harnessed. Speaking with our agency, he further advocated revitalizing Iraq's role as the 'breadbasket of the Middle East' by expanding agriculture through modern irrigation, solar-powered greenhouses, and youth-focused financing. However, despite the fertile lands between the Tigris and Euphrates, these resources remain underutilized. Abdul-Rahbeh also called for public-private investments to revive foundational industries like cement, chemicals, and textiles, which could generate widespread employment across urban and rural areas. He proposed establishing a national 'Industry Support Day' to rally focus and resources around industrial revitalization. 'Youth don't want charity—they want a fair system where effort and innovation are rewarded,' he emphasized. Additionally, he highlighted the potential of emerging sectors such as medical technology, digital services, and agritech. While the private sector currently employs nearly 80% of Iraq's labor force, most jobs are informal, low-wage, and lack benefits. Only 7% of private sector workers receive pensions or healthcare coverage. To transform the labor market, Abdul-Rahbeh recommended aligning education with market needs, expanding vocational training, and offering five-year tax exemptions for youth-led projects in underserved provinces. He concluded that Iraq's demographic dividend can drive national development only through coordinated efforts among the government, private sector, and civil society, underpinned by flexible policies and continuous monitoring.

KDP, PUK present united stance to Baghdad
Shafaq News – Erbil On Monday, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) reaffirmed their political alliance and the need for unified Kurdish action to resolve critical issues with the Iraqi government. The declaration followed a high-level meeting led by KDP Leader Masoud Barzani and PUK President Bafel Talabani, where both parties expressed commitment to confronting the region's mounting challenges. According to a joint statement, the meeting aimed to coordinate positions on key issues, including oil revenues, public finances, and political representation, stressing the importance of forming a united front to engage constructively with Baghdad on constitutional rights and equitable resource distribution. The KDP and PUK also pledged to submit a joint proposal to the Iraqi government, reiterating their readiness to collaborate with Baghdad based on partnership and mutual respect. A report from a ministerial committee is set to be presented to the Iraqi government on July 15, aiming to resolve long-standing disputes. This report could determine whether Kurdistan's civil servants receive their wages and if the Region's oil output will be fully managed by SOMO, Iraq's state oil marketing company, in line with federal mandates.

Kurdish parties push for unity amid financial standoff with Baghdad
Also in Kurdistan KDP, PUK top-level delegations meet to discuss new cabinet, Baghdad disputes Suicide drone shot down near Erbil airport: Kurdish counterterrorism KDP, PUK leaders to meet over Erbil-Baghdad tensions, KRG cabinet formation KRG meets to resolve financial disputes with Baghdad A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Top delegations from the Kurdistan Region's ruling parties met Monday in Erbil's Pirmam district to solidify a united stance on key issues - chief among them, the long-running dispute with Baghdad over public sector salaries and financial entitlements. In a joint statement, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) said the meeting was chaired by preeminent Kurdish leader and KDP head Masoud Barzani, with Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani and PUK leader Bafel Talabani also in attendance. The discussions spanned political, economic, and social issues, with both parties committing to a unified strategy 'to intensify efforts' and 'ensure the provision of salaries and entitlements for the Kurdistan Region.' The statement stressed that all necessary steps should be taken within the constitutional framework, and urged collaborative efforts toward a resolution. Tensions between Erbil and Baghdad deepened in late May when the Iraqi federal finance ministry suspended budget transfers to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), accusing it of exceeding its 12.67 percent share of the federal budget and failing to deliver the agreed-upon oil quota to the State Oil Marketing Organization (SOMO). The halt has left more than 1.2 million public servants in the Kurdistan Region unpaid for over two months. The joint statement also highlighted efforts to strengthen ties between the KDP and PUK to overcome internal challenges and safeguard the Kurdistan Region's political framework and gains. A well-informed source told Rudaw earlier in the day that the meeting underscored the need for a unified Kurdish stance, saying, "It underscored the importance of unifying the position of all political parties in Kurdistan and Iraq to be cooperative and supportive in resolving this issue." The high-level meeting notably followed a special session of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Council of Ministers held Sunday to address the worsening financial crisis. On Saturday as well, the KDP issued a warning, saying it would give Baghdad a 'final chance' to resolve the ongoing budget dispute. In addition to the Baghdad-Erbil standoff, Monday's talks also focused on the upcoming Iraqi legislative elections scheduled for November 11 and the delay in forming the KRG's tenth cabinet. Rudaw learned earlier on Monday that both the KDP and PUK had prepared draft proposals on the formation of the new cabinet to be presented during the meeting. The Region held delayed parliamentary elections in October, with the KDP winning 39 of the 100 seats, followed by the PUK with 23. As no single party secured a majority, a governing coalition will need to be formed, as has traditionally been the case. In late June, Prime Minister Barzani said the KDP and PUK had agreed on a cabinet agenda and that other parties were welcome to join. However, nearly nine months after the vote, no final agreement on the new cabinet has been reached.
