Oil Minister Haian Abdul Ghani announced the date of stopping the import of gasoline from abroad to cover the local need from it.
Abdul Ghani said in a press statement that “the import of gasoline will be stopped in the second half of 2024 with the increase in the production of local refineries.”
Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa Al-Sudani opened yesterday Friday the North refinery in Baiji, which was rehabilitated after a hiatus of more than 10 years.
The current production of the units of the Salah al-Din 1 and 2 refineries and the north is 290 thousand barrels per day.
