Iran Press/ Middle East: The Iraqi government started Wednesday to pay the Iranian gas dues, which are late for the year 2020, via internal borrowing from the Trade Bank of Iraq, and the money was deposited by the Ministry of Finance in the Credit Fund.
"We are still counting on Emergency Support Law for the Repayment of the Loan Amount," according to the statements of the spokesman for the Ministry of Electricity, Ahmed Moussa, to Al-Iraqiya News TV.
He added, "There are meetings with the Iranian Ministry of Energy and the Gas Company to raise the levels of what flows into Iraq in order to strengthen the capabilities of the national system."
"Iraq currently needs between 50-55 million cubics of gas per day, and the Iranian side pledged to raise the quantities with the start of the payment process, and we expect the quantities to increase within two days," he included.
