IMF Executive Board Concludes 2013 Article IV Consultation with Iraq

Public Information Notice (PIN) No. 13/58
May 21, 2013

Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.

On May 13, 2013, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Iraq.¹

Background

Iraq is exceptionally rich in oil, but its economy suffers from severe structural weaknesses, such as a small non-oil sector, a dominating role of the government in all areas of the economy, and a poor business environment. Nevertheless, partly thanks to the increase in oil production since 2003, Iraq has achieved a rise in GDP per capita from $1,300 in 2004 to $6,300 in 2012 in a very difficult security and political context. During this period, Fund program engagement with Iraq was instrumental in maintaining macroeconomic stability—even though progress on structural reforms and job creation was mixed.

Recent macroeconomic developments have been broadly positive. Economic growth has reached 8.4 percent in 2012 and is expected to rise to 9 percent in 2013 as oil production increases to 3.3 million barrels per day (mbpd). Inflation has declined from about 6 percent at end-2011 to 3.6 percent at the end of last year, and should increase only slightly in 2013. International reserves of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) rose from $61 billion at end-2011 to $70 billion at end-2012, and fiscal reserves held at the Development Fund for Iraq (DFI) have increased from $16.5 billion to $18 billion.

Thanks to higher-than-expected oil revenues and the under-execution of the investment budget, fiscal surpluses reached almost 5 percent of GDP in 2011 and 4 percent in 2012. However, with a break-even oil price of about $100, fiscal performance is very vulnerable to oil revenue shocks—either from oil price declines or export shortfalls. Furthermore, fiscal discipline weakened over the past two years, with poor budget planning and execution, large off-budget spending, and low investment execution rates. The 2013 budget includes large unfunded commitments, increasing fiscal risks, including the possible depletion of fiscal reserves, if the budget were to be fully executed.

The policy of a de facto peg to the U.S. dollar provides a key nominal anchor to the economy, and the nominal exchange rate in the official market has remained stable since 2010. However, since late 2011, the authorities enforced existing exchange restrictions and introduced new restrictions in response to concerns about money laundering and illegal foreign exchange outflows related to the increased demand for foreign exchange. As a result, the spread between the official rate and the parallel market rate—which had been up to that point below 2 percent—started to climb, passing 9 percent in May 2013.

Over the medium term, Iraq’s macroeconomic outlook will continue to be driven by developments in the oil sector. Staff projects that oil production will rise gradually by about 400-500 thousand barrels per day per year, reaching 5.7 mbpd by 2018. Overall, growth is projected to remain above 8 percent and inflation at 5–6 percent over the medium term.

Risks to the macroeconomic outlook remain high. They include (a) weak policy implementation, particularly in the fiscal area; ( further deterioration of the political and security situation; © a larger-than-projected decline in global oil prices; and (d) delays in developing Iraq’s oil fields and oil export capacity, possibly due to security issues but also insufficient investment in oil infrastructure. These risks can translate into lower oil revenues, deterioration in the fiscal position, pressures to use CBI reserves for fiscal purposes, and higher inflation.

World last 
ten days of Iraqi oil 
Sarmad al-Tai

The last Bishara received from the House of Representatives that the financial position as weak by seventy percent from the usual, and almost stable compared to the situation early last year. The Fund, which put the oil revenues and spend them salaries and projects, he keeps the amount at the rate of ten to fifteen billion dollars, but now the latest information from the last week in Maliki's government confirmed to parliament and the presence of six billion dollars, but the first piece of information from the reign of Abadi, speaking to parliament also , confirm the existence of three billion dollars only. In other words, the difference between the status of "our pocket" National now, and compared to the onset of last year, declining by about two-thirds (of the rate of ten to three billion only), according to this criterion. 

 

According to the account is simple and I do not argue the genius of calculation, the oil revenues come us about 3 billion dollars every ten days, and shall be deposited in the fund itself (Multiply the nearly three million barrels per day, nearly one hundred dollars). Means that our pocket is not the only equivalent returns ten days past, such as workers daily wage, without any plan for the oil it sells, since ninety years! 

 

must pay attention to what it means to the amount of three billion dollars, it is very small, because the wage bill Iraqis alone may exceed two billion dollars a month, and maybe more. Therefore deputies say he Amcharaa new building this year, not next year. We will try to complete all projects assigned sluggish since 2013. 

 

capital of oil and maritime trade, Basra, which was Farhana to the five dollars, but they must postpone her dreams, says Sheikh Ahmed Al Sulaiti, a senior member of its board. If postponed wealthiest cities dreams, what Diwaniyah, hoping that you say? And if they live relatively safe areas recession and rigid developmentally, what Nineveh and Anbar, hoping that Tcola? It is still a million and eight hundred thousand Iraqis homeless away from their homes and awaits Lonesome Winter, and of course, the money available in the fund will not be enough oil to solutions decent Ngathm. No one would agree easily to extend our hands to the cash reserve in TAIB male oppressed Shabibi, who was warns of spending policies that drove him then Gmoh seven years, while politicians error and waste occupy the highest positions, in spite of our noses, and paid with higher allocations. 

 

wish that are numbers that say it Representatives inaccurate, or be Fahmi her wrong, and the beatings and the combination inaccurate, but to remember every hour, that all this confusion is caused by the policies of emotional and lack of patience, and we hesitated to provide the requirements of social reconciliation, and what it needs from the painful decisions, and while Our reluctance to take painful decisions, we were in front put more painful, do not know how we will come out of it. 

 

that there are attempts to large breathing room and start correcting, and we have partnerships can provide us a helping hand and advice, but you had this confusion mark an exceptional school in Iraqi politics during the last half a century of songs and banners? Did we were waiting for the result of less worse while chants and songs became a substitute for the studies and conclusions based on a scientific basis and put myself balanced and prudent? 

 

still in school Saddam Hussein's policy. But we still need to plan, not for the Liberation of Amerli and Duluiya, Nineveh, but plan to get out of school punish politicians Mtsron was the most prominent of Saddam Hussein, either Most of them wasting the opportunities he Nuri al-Maliki. 

 

'll stay waiting for plan opponents of Maliki to correct his mistakes, and we measure their ability to adjust the approach of emotion and haste. But the vision of Mishan in Parliament, while the reserve for Shabibi and Rahim place in prison, a sign that out of the hole that put Saddam Hussein when Iraq, after his plan was not processed.
