Aswat Aliraq cited Mr Alaa Batayneh Jordan Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources as saying that Iraq exports oil to Jordan with USD 18 discount per barrel.

The minister added that his country is in good relations with Iraq, and both countries agreed to increase crude oil imports from 10,000 to 15,000 barrel per day.

Mr Batayneh said that his country has assigned part of the GCC financial donation, a sum of USD 5 million to execute projects that would boost the electricity sector in the kingdom.

He said that the Jordanian government has assigned such amount to establish five solar and wind power generators capable of generating 200 MW to 300 MW.

In recent days, five Arabian Gulf countries (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and UAE) approved a donation total of USD 5 billion donation spread into 5 years plan to finance developmental projects.
