Iraqi governor Ali Farhan revealed on Wednesday the discovery of new oil wells in the Anbar province.

Farhan noted that the wells were discovered in Nukhayb and Tharthar regions, without specifying their output capacity.

In statements to Iraqi News Agency (INA), Farhan said the local government in Anbar worked to prepare the atmosphere for oil exploration.

He said he hopes that "the Ministry of Oil will take steps to complete oil explorations after canceling the contract with the Korean company."

"The local government is following up the exploration plan with the Ministry of Oil and Saudi-American companies in partnership," noting that "many new oil wells have been discovered in Nukhayb and Tharthar."

"The province contains large quantities of gas of an important quality," he added.

Saudi Minister of Finance Mohammed Al-Jadaan has called for the development of methods to measure gross national income (GNI) that better reflect the true realities of economies, especially in emerging countries.

During a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos, titled “New Approaches to Measuring GDP Growth,” Al-Jadaan emphasized the need for international institutions to adopt unified and robust standards for measuring national income.

He noted that achieving this objective requires designing collaborative programs with various countries to enhance data accuracy and analyze it in a more comprehensive manner.

The minister pointed out that traditional methods for measuring GDP might no longer suffice in the current global context, urging the adoption of new tools and standards capable of measuring economic growth in line with the rapid global changes.

Al-Jadaan stressed that improving measurement mechanisms would boost the efficiency of international institutions in providing support and advice, foster sustainable development in emerging economies, and contribute to achieving economic equity on a global scale.
