$70m credit line granted to Iraqi bank
Wednesday, Oct 04, 2006

Gulf News

Dubai: Citigroup, in cooperation with US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), yesterday announced the launching of a $70 million structured credit facility for the benefit of the Trade Bank of iraq (TBI).

The move allows it to issue Letters of Credit which would be confirmed by leading financial institutions.

The $70 million structured facility was arranged, structured and coordinated by Citigroup's Export and Agency Finance group.

By supporting the bank's reimbursement obligations to confirming banks via a special trust, the trust will facilitate the provision of goods and services vital to iraq's reconstruction after decades of international isolation.

Specifically, the trust will only guaranty reimbursement obligations on TBI letters of credit that are not, or not entirely, supported by export credit agency cover.

This unique facility represents the first time commercial lenders such as Citigroup and others are able to extend letters of credit in iraq that are not fully cash collateralised.

Consequently, the project is designed to increase the availability of financing for Iraqi trade transactions and to enable iraq to increase its funding capacity and allow it to re-enter the global financial community.

"Provision of trade finance for companies seeking to contribute to iraq's reintegration into the global economy will be key to iraq's reconstruction.

By supporting the new Trade Bank of iraq, which was created for precisely that purpose, OPIC's financing will accelerate iraq's reconstruction and involve an increasing number of international companies in the process," said OPIC president and CEO Ross Connelly.

The Trade Bank of iraq is an independent Iraqi government entity created to facilitate the reconstruction of iraq by providing trade finance services that Iraqi financial institutions are currently unable to offer.

The new facility comes at the heels of several other landmark transactions that Citigroup has lead in iraq including the launch of a $130 million OPIC partial guaranteed loan to support small and medium term enterprises in the Iraqi private sector.

We have made this position very clear on numerous occasions, but those who know who lost their way and stood up empty lot, The rope lying short, as they say, and their misrepresentations and Abatiham must be exposed and refuted good will of Iraqis, as long as they have taken from the falsification of facts and distort the positions of their propaganda cheap way to inflict harm and damage our people and their national endeavors, Sun could not be covered with a bright flare sieve. Government agreed to do the same to fall in the trap of the enemies of Iraq and Iraqis.

UN agency renews alarm about Palestinian refugees trapped in Iraq
3 October 2006 – The United Nations refugee agency expressed fresh concern today about the plight of an estimated 20,000 Palestinian refugees in Iraq as deteriorating security forces an increasing number to try to flee the country.

Palestinians living inside Iraq “lack protection, have serious problems obtaining identity cards, and have been the target of continuing harassment, threats, kidnapping and killings,” UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) spokesperson Jennifer Pagonis told a media briefing in Geneva.

Ms. Pagonis voiced particular concern about the conditions in Baghdad, noting that late last month armed men there hand-delivered written death threats to several Palestinians – a reprise of a similar episode earlier this year that led to widespread panic among the capital’s Palestinian community.

She said UNHCR’s attempts to enlist the help of the new Iraqi Government and the multinational forces stationed inside the country “have yielded modest results” only, and now about 20,000 Palestinians remain, down from 34,000 three years ago.

Some Palestinians received preferential treatment under the regime of former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and supported his 1990 invasion of Kuwait. But they have become targets since Saddam’s overthrow in 2003. The community comprises those who fled to Iraq from their homes in newly created Israel in 1948 and others born in the country.

Outside Baghdad, UNHCR has fears for the safety of some 330 Palestinians who tried to flee Iraq and have been stranded at the Al-Tanf border crossing with Syria for more than four months.

Describing the humanitarian conditions in the makeshift camp at the border as deplorable, Ms. Pagonis said “winter is coming and there is no solution in sight for these men, women and children.” About 250 people are living in tents which could be flooded when upcoming rains arrive.

Tensions are rising, she said, noting Iraqi security forces have regularly visited the site and that medical and sanitation facilities are inadequate. Last month a 14-year-old boy was hit and killed by a truck when he asked for water, while the father of a premature baby who died in hospital was not allowed to leave the area to attend the funeral.

Syria, which admitted 300 other Palestinians from Iraq into its El Hol refugee camp in May, is refusing to admit those currently stranded at the border. UNHCR said those who made it to El Hol have only temporary status, limited freedom of movement and no clear prospects for their future.

There is also concern about the situation in Jordan’s Ruwayshed refugee camp, where 150 Palestinians from Iraq are living, some since 2003. Ms. Pagonis said that while re-settlement is possible for about 50 of the camp members over the next year, the rest face an uncertain future as Jordan has called on other countries in the region to share the burden.

Iraq: UN envoy briefed on latest government plans to stem violence

SRSG Ashraf Qazi
2 October 2006 – Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Al-Maliki today briefed the top United Nations official there on various initiatives that he hopes will combat terrorism and bring down the level of sectarian violence in the war-torn country.

Secretary-General Kofi Annan's Special Representative Ashraf Qazi discussed a wide range of issues with Mr. Al-Maliki, including his recent trips to Abu Dhabi, New York and Washington, as well as the high-level meetings convened by Mr. Annan on the International Compact with Iraq (ICI).

The ICI was launched in July in an effort to end the killings and bring stability to Iraq and Mr. Annan told a high-level meeting of partner states last month that without greater global support, Iraq will fail to attain peace.

Mr. Al-Maliki expressed to Mr. Qazi his appreciation for the UN partnership with Iraq on the ICI and looked forward to an even closer engagement with it, the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) reported.

The latest political and security developments in Iraq were also discussed.
