PRESSR: Rabee’s Iraq Stock Exchange index reports 1.9% decline in May

In May, the Rabee Securities Iraq Stock Exchange Index (RSISX Index) decreased by 1.9%, because the Bank of Baghdad, National Bank of Iraq, and Baghdad Soft Drinks, which have the highest weights in the index, recorded a decline in May which might be due to profit-taking following the considerable increase in their share prices in April. In May, the increase in the share prices of Commercial Bank of Iraq, Al-Mansour Bank, and Asiacell partially limited the decline in the RSISX index.

RSISX Total Return (RSISXTR) Index decreased just 0.3% in May with the contribution of the Bank of Baghdad’s IQD0.19 cash dividend per share; corresponding to a 4.6% dividend yield. In May, in addition to the Bank of Baghdad, two more companies decided to distribute dividends as follows; Iraqi Agricultural Products (dividend yield: 0.4%), and Al-Mashreq Al-Arabi Islamic Bank (the dividend yield cannot be calculated because the bank has not traded since its listing on the Iraq Stock Exchange (ISX)).

The total trading volume of the ISX decreased 31% in May compared to April, amounting to USD31.5 million. The banking sector obtained the highest share in trading volume with 79.1%, followed by the telecom sector (7.1% share), hotels & tourism sector (6.7% share), industry sector (4.3% share), agriculture sector (1.7% share), and services sector (1.1% share).

28 companies’ share prices increased in May, 14 of which increased by more than 5.0%, while 8 increased by more than 10.0%. Gulf Commercial Bank increased the most going up by 141.2% during May, followed by Baghdad for Packing Materials with a 33.3% increase.

If we look at other developments in May, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Iraq on May 13. The IMF noted that since the new government took office in October 2022, domestic stability in Iraq has improved. This stability…

The Last of the Mohicans

Danilo Mitrovic

13.06.2024. 22:55h

Football has returned home – was the slogan of the European Championship in 1996, which was organized by England, the cradle of football.

It was in England that UEFA introduced a modified (expanded) version of the continental championship – with four groups of four teams each, as well as a quarter-final match. The Euro is twice as long as the previous one, twice as many games and, some would say, twice as good football.

As 30 years earlier, when they organized the World Cup, the English expected to win a major competition on their territory. But, as the legendary English centre-forward Gary Lineker said a few years earlier, “football is a game of 11 against 11 in which the Germans always win”.

Of course, the Germans won the European Championship with a victory against Croatia in the quarter-finals (2:1), a triumph against England in the semi-finals (on penalties, after 1:1) and Oliver Biroff’s golden goal against the championship sensation Czech Republic in the final (2:1).

Since the Euros in England, an era of modern football has begun where everyone plays like the Germans played ten or 20 years ago – with lots of running and raw power. Thus began the era of industrial football, which the Germans nurtured much earlier than others.

And the “last Mohicans” of real German football were led from the bench by the former “elf” defender Berti Fogst, who is much better known to the public in this area as a player who got lost in Dragan Džajić’s dribbles, than as an impassable right back.

His team consisted of Kepke, Babel, Reuter, Zamer, Zige, Štrunc, Ailts, Hessler, Scholl, Möller and Klinsmann, while Schneider, Biroff, Reck, Helmer, Kunz came from the bench… It was the…

Iraq officially removed from UN list of countries using children in armed conflict

2024-06-14T18:46:41+00:00

Shafaq News/ On Friday, the Minister of Labor and Social Affairs, Ahmed Al-Assadi, announced that Iraq has officially been removed from the United Nations list of countries using children in armed conflict.

“The recent report by the UN Secretary-General on countries using children in armed conflict did not include Iraq’s name,” Al-Assadi said in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency. “This is due to Iraq’s commitment to the joint action plan we signed with the UN Country Team (UNICEF, UNAMI) to prevent the involvement of children in armed conflict.”

Al-Assadi noted that this step will enhance Iraq’s standing in the international community. He also affirmed that Iraq has complied with all the provisions of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocol of 2008, to which it is a signatory.

The statement said that the Executive Committee of the Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism, headed by Undersecretary of Labor for Social Affairs Huda Sajjad and under the direct supervision of the Minister, worked for less than a year on the implementation of the plan in stages in cooperation with a Qatari team, a team from UNAMI, and several ministries, which included prevention, treatment, and cooperation stages.

Notably, the UN list of countries using children in armed conflict is compiled by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict. The list includes countries where government forces or armed groups have been credibly reported to have recruited or used children in armed conflict, or to have killed or maimed children in violation of international law.

Iraq was added to the list in 2016 due to the use of children by ISIS and other armed groups. The…

UNCASVILLE (CelebrityAccess) – On Friday (May 31), The Cartells were honored as the 15th inductee into Mohegan Sun’s Wolf Den Hall of Fame, joining legendary Wolf Den acts like Chubby Checker, David Foster, Tower of Power and more. Before their back-to-back free shows, Greg Romeyn, Mohegan’s Director of Sports and Entertainment, presented the Mystic, CT-based band with the esteemed honor.

“The Cartells have continued to bring world-class entertainment to Mohegan Sun since their debut,” said Romeyn. “We look forward to having them continue playing on the Wolf Den stage for years to come.”

The seven-piece band accepted their honor before a packed Wolf Den crowd.

“We are humbled and honored to receive this award,” said lead vocalist Karin Tyska. “Our band has played here since 1997. It’s been a great run, and we are thrilled to share this honor with all of our family, friends, and fans.”

The Wolf Den Hall of Fame at Mohegan Sun is a select club that honors a particular class of performers whose exceptional talents and commitment have helped make Mohegan Sun a world-class entertainment destination. As some of our most celebrated performers, these artists have shown loyalty to fans at Mohegan Sun and have helped shape the Wolf Den into the successful venue it is today.

The Cartells, a Mystic, CT-based legacy rock band, have brought their versatile repertoire, including rock and roll, jazz, swing, R&B, and Motown, to the concert stage, clubs and high-end events on the East Coast since their formation in April of 1986.

Thomas was captured along with his mother in a frontier raid at the age of 4, and was given to a Shawnee family in present-day Ohio to be raised in place of their deceased child.

Returning to his birth parents as a Shawnee man at the age of 17, Thomas received a Virginia gentleman’s education and served in the Point Pleasant campaign of Dunmore’s War in 1774 – a conflict that pitted his Virginia and Shawnee communities against each other on the battlefield.

This hour-long History Alive! Presentation, scheduled for 3 p.m., will include a monologue by the historical character Thomas Ingles, followed by interactive discussions between the audience and the character and then with the presenter.

From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., Wood will portray the story of a Lenape man, explaining and…
