Wood selected by TotalEnergies to advance Ratawi Field Redevelopment
Wood, a global leader in consulting and engineering, has been awarded two new engineering and procurement framework agreements worth $11 million by TotalEnergies EP Ratawi Hub as part of the Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP) , a multi-energy project designed to enhance the development of Iraq's natural resources and improve the country's electricity supply at the Ratawi field in Iraq.
Each of the new contracts has a three-year term under which Wood will support TotalEnergies to advance the Associated Gas Upstream Project (AGUP) , a key part of the GGIP project. The aim is to debottleneck and upgrade existing facilities to increase energy production capacity to 120,000 barrels of oil per day on completion of the first phase.
Shaun Dewar, Senior Vice President of Operations, Middle East and Africa at Wood said:
" We have an extensive track record in brownfield facility modifications and are committed to delivering safe, quality and innovative outcomes for TotalEnergies. Wood has supported the Ratawi field since 2023.
"We have held six recruitment days, hiring 70 Iraqis to work at the Ratawi operations hub across a range of disciplines including HSE, logistics, quality, construction, welding, electrical and document control. "
The contracts will be delivered by Wood's teams in Basra and the United Arab Emirates, creating additional roles as the scopes progress. Wood currently employs over 4,000 people across the Middle East, having increased its headcount by 500 in 2024.
Wood is already providing engineering design, detailed design, procurement support and construction and commissioning assistance for the first phase of the AGUP.

Iraq's poverty rate drops to 10.8% by 2024
Baghdad ( – Iraq has made significant strides in combating poverty, with the national poverty rate decreasing to 10.8% between 2018 and 2024. This notable decline was announced today, Wednesday (July 30, 2025), by Minister of Planning Mohammed Ali Tamim during the launch of the National Multidimensional Poverty Index Report. The report covered all Iraqi governorates, including those within the Kurdistan Region. Speaking at the launch conference, Tamim highlighted the Iraqi government's commitment to tackling poverty, making it a top priority in its agenda. While Iraq previously saw a reduction in poverty from over 20% to 17.5% in earlier years, the government expanded its study of the phenomenon. This goes beyond simply increasing individual or family incomes, aiming instead to identify fundamental developmental challenges and address societal gaps. The goal is to establish equitable policies that ensure Iraqis enjoy proper education and decent living conditions, free from various forms of deprivation. Tamim emphasized the Ministry of Planning's dedication to providing objective, multidimensional quantitative indicators, a growing international trend for assessing rights. The Ministry collaborated with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) to produce this national poverty report. The report leveraged extensive, up-to-date indicators on Iraqi family economic and social conditions from the Household Socio-Economic Survey, forming the basis for this new national multidimensional index at both the Baghdad and governorate levels. The Minister explained that the poverty index report will directly assist in diagnosing essential needs and improving citizens' conditions across governorates, based on reflected geographical and sectoral priorities. He reaffirmed the government's determination to adopt policies and plans for continuously reducing the value of this index. In a pioneering initiative for the Arab region and the world, Iraq will later launch a multidimensional poverty index for women. This aligns with the government's aim to bring about substantial improvements in Iraqi women's health, educational, and living conditions. Tamim also noted that Iraq is a global leader in preparing a multidimensional child poverty index, having released its first report in 2022. The country plans to develop a new child poverty index in 2026, following the recent completion of the seventh round of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey. Tamim expressed his appreciation for the significant national efforts contributed by the Ministry of Planning, the Central Statistical Organization, and the Kurdistan Region Statistics Office. These efforts ensure the inclusion of indicators that serve Iraq's development process and contribute to monitoring Sustainable Development Goals, of which poverty alleviation in its various dimensions is a primary objective. He also extended his gratitude to partners at the UNDP Iraq office, the regional office, and the OPHI team for their substantial support in completing these reports and upholding internationally adopted technical standards for measuring multidimensional poverty.

Iraqi dinar nears official rate as market stabilizes
Also in Opinions Kurdistan Region's oil production before, after drone strikes Sarsang oil field attack and the Hamrin oil, gas contracts: five key questions Decoding Ocalan's message: The question of PKK disarmament and the future of Kurdish politics Kurdish intellectuals face challenges amid Turkey's Kurdish question A+ A- Iraq's national currency, the dinar, is showing strong signs of recovery, with the market rate steadily approaching the official exchange rate of 1,320 IQD to the US dollar. After a turbulent period of volatility and speculation, this shift signals something deeper than a temporary market correction - it's the product of deliberate government action, changing trade behaviors, and a structural shift in how Iraqis interact with money. From chaos to coordination Until recently, the dinar's value on the street was largely dictated by informal market players who thrived on gaps between official and parallel exchange rates. But over the past year, the Iraqi government has launched a wide-ranging campaign to take back control by tightening regulation, changing how dollars are accessed, and nudging both businesses and individuals toward official channels. The government's decision to ban US dollar transactions for local high-value purchases, especially in real estate and luxury goods, has played a major role in restoring demand for the dinar. Meanwhile, businesses that once relied on the Central Bank's daily auctions are now required to process foreign payments through correspondent banks, reducing the space for dollar hoarding and speculative arbitrage. 'Speculation is being replaced by structure,' said Mazhar Mohammed Salih, financial advisor to the Iraqi prime minister. 'The state has finally begun to set the rules, and the market is responding.' A new flow of dollars Beyond regulatory shifts, Iraq's economy is also undergoing subtle but important changes in how foreign currency flows in and out. The government has started compensating some international contractors in crude oil rather than cash. These companies then sell the oil on global markets and bring the dollars back into Iraq through their own channels - providing the economy with a fresh, non-Central Bank supply of hard currency. At the same time, Iraq's role as a re-export hub - once a key driver of black-market demand for dollars - has sharply declined. Stricter oversight at borders and more formal trade practices have undercut the once-lucrative business of reselling goods to countries like Iran, Syria, and Turkey through backdoor channels. As demand for cash dollars softens, the gap between the official and street rate is closing. And that gap, which for months symbolized inefficiency and mistrust, is now rapidly shrinking. 'There has been a clear shift in behavior,' said Manar al-Obaidi, head of investment firm FFC. 'Dollar demand is down, and confidence in the system is creeping back.' Structural overhaul meets economic cooldown The current trend is also rooted in longer-term structural changes. Iraq's economy is gradually becoming more formal. Small traders are getting easier access to official currency rates, electronic payments are on the rise, and retail imports are being managed through cooperatives that use the official rate. At the same time, Iraq is seeing a slowdown in public spending on infrastructure and large projects - partly a result of fluctuating oil revenues. With fewer imports flooding in, the overall demand for dollars has naturally declined. 'The fundamentals are shifting,' said economist Ahmed Tabaqchali. 'There's a mix of reform and slowdown happening together, and both are cooling the pressure on the currency.' The road ahead Iraq's challenge has never been about a lack of resources. With healthy foreign reserves and oil exports still strong, the question has always been whether those resources could be managed transparently and strategically. Now, for the first time in years, there's momentum toward that goal. The dinar's recovery is not just a technical market win - it's a reflection of rising trust in the state's ability to regulate and stabilize. Whether this trajectory holds will depend on consistent enforcement, sustained reforms, and the government's ability to shield its progress from political turbulence. But for now, the message from the market is clear: the dinar is no longer drifting - it's being steered. Omar Ahmed is editor-in-chief of Rudaw's Economy Desk.
