Posted: February 21, 2011 Central Bank of Iraq, Economic growth, Iraq, Iraqi Central Bank, Iraqi government, middle east, National Development Plan, Politics of Iraq I came across this. If it has been already posted please remove. I didn't see it. The Central Bank of Iraq adviser said on Monday that the five-year plan adopted by the Iraqi government dominated by the nature of the theoretical and more practical to address the constraints on the government for implementation during the fastest time to advance the rate of economic development in the country. He said the appearance of Mohammed Saleh told that “the five-year plan adopted by the government for the advancement by the country’s service plan is very special, but convincing economically difficult to apply in practice in Iraq.” The Iraqi government has launched last July the National Development Plan for the next five years, from 2010 to 2014, which is expected to include nearly 2700 projects in various sectors, worth up to $ 186 billion. He continued that “the difficulty of the application comes because there are considerable constraints facing the Five-Year Plan highlighted the relationship between the private sector and government and the mechanism for the Advancement of sectors across the economic system and clear.” The center “Alistza” French and one of the centers responsible for monitoring the project planning in the countries of the world, especially in developing countries, issued last Friday, a report confirming that Iraq has adopted a five-year plan failed can not meet the needs of the main being the need to plan with the features and clear benchmarks to manage and address the problems of service that affecting citizens. Confirmed that the Ministry of Planning and Development Cooperation that five-year plan is still in the first way and can not be judged. Salih noted that “the allocation of 180 billion plan over five years means that each year the government had allocated 36 billion annually from the investment part of the budget, which will raise the level of national income to 7% and will reach 3% of gross domestic product.” The Iraqi Government has allocated $ 186 billion five-year plan to implement the $ 100 billion of public budgets of the country and the remaining $ 86 billion of investment projects, domestic and foreign. The benefit of that “the government had to address the obstacles that stand in the actual conversion of this plan to practice in the country and raises the level of economic development in the direction of the country easier and more economic benefit to the country.” And see the entire Iraqi provinces wave of protests condemning the poor services and financial and administrative corruption in government institutions demand better living conditions for Iraqis and the provision of services and employment opportunities in accordance with the promises, which was launched before the parliamentary elections last year. And announced the Federal Ministry of Planning that the percentage of economic growth will in accordance with the strategic plan set by the ministry to 47% after it is completed in 2014. The International Monetary Fund had said earlier that the economic growth of Iraq has been slower than expected during 2010 in the Economic Review of the Fund, due to expected growth in oil production. He described the Iraqi Central Bank earlier in the rates of economic growth for the year 2010 as “shameful” compared with past years. He revealed last October that the 2011 budget will raise economic growth to 10% of what it was. Please don't shoot. Just looking at all avenues. wood1521.

Great post. I agree with your thoughts. however i do think it will be farther down the road. APR or June .

Great Post. The best i have seen in a long time. Thanks for that. I needed it..AMEN.

I wonder why people don't utilize a licensed currency broker. that deals in all types of currency and metals such as dinar trade or such. A Bank is the last place I would want to be. Dam rip offs. until I cash out than use them to move it to off shore corp in USD.. Have you ever tried to buy gold from a bank. HHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.

Well I missed it. However it sounds like it might have been informative. It would be a shame to ban someone who wants to give to the DV group.

Thanks for the post WHITE ROSE. I think that it will come in just below 3.86. :)

BAGHDAD – American influence has so dwindled in Iraq over the last several months that Iraqi lawmakers and political leaders say they no longer follow Washington's advice for forming a government. Instead, Iraqis are turning to neighboring nations, and especially Iran, for guidance — casting doubt on the future of the American role in this strategic country after a grinding war that killed more than 4,400 U.S. soldiers. "The Iraqi politicians are not responding to the U.S. like before. We don't pay great attention to them," Shiite lawmaker Sami al-Askari, a close ally of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, said Thursday. "The weak American role has given the region's countries a greater sense of influence on Iraqi affairs." Vice President Joe Biden, the administration's point man for Iraq, has doggedly lobbied Iraqi leaders, both on the phone and in six trips here over the past two years. Iraqis, however, measure U.S. influence largely by its military presence, which dipped by threefold from the war's peak to 50,000 troops in late August. As a result, Baghdad is now brushing off U.S. urgings to slow-walk a new government instead of rushing one through that might cater to Iran.

He said the Americans "will leave Iraq with its problems, thus their influence has become weak." One problem which could worsen as a result is the sectarian divide — particularly if the secular but Sunni-backed Iraqiya political coalition, which won the most votes in the March election, is left out of a new Shiite-led government led by al-Maliki. Many Iraqis, particularly minority Sunnis, would view such a government as "blessed by Iran and evidence of America's relative weakness," analyst Michael Knights wrote on the website of The Washington Institute for Near East Policy. This perception could lead to a surge in violence. Washington, which has its hands full with the war in Afghanistan and the hunt in Pakistan for Osama bin Laden, sees Iraq as "the bane of everyone's existence lately," said one senior administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the diplomatic issues. But Iraq cannot afford to ignore completely what Washington wants. For one, that could bring the end of U.S. help and financial backing to broker $13 billion worth of contracts for military equipment. It also would all but dash any hopes by Baghdad to re-negotiate a security agreement that is set to expire at the end of 2011 — a needed step to keeping some U.S. forces in Iraq to continue training its fledgling air force and protect its borders. A senior Iraqi military official predicted the new government, once it is settled, ultimately will ask U.S. troops to remain beyond next year. U.S. alliances with Mideast nations to which Baghdad seeks to cozy up also cement American influence in Iraq, said Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center think tank in Doha. "In that, I think the U.S. is still pretty well positioned in terms of getting its voice heard in Iraq," Shaikh said. But he agreed that the U.S. carries less sway in Baghdad than it used to: "If it was such an easy thing to exert influence, then wouldn't Iraq have had a government by now?" More than seven months have passed since March 7 parliamentary elections failed to produce clear winners, and Iraqi politicians say they will pick new leaders on their own timetable. Othman said the lengthy impasse, despite heavy U.S. pressure to form a government that includes all of Iraq's major political players, shows that Baghdad doesn't really care what Washington wants. "Yes, the Americans have their view on how to form an Iraqi government," Askari agreed. "But it does not apply to the political powers on the ground and it is not effective." U.S. officials initially encouraged the Iraqis to form a government quickly, but recently started pushing for a slowdown after it became apparent that a party led by anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr was poised to play a major role. The U.S. clearly hopes to stall the formation of a new government long enough for the deal unravel between al-Maliki and al-Sadr, whose hardline Shiite followers are close to Iran. But the days of the U.S. calling the shots in Iraq are long over — largely because of President Barack Obama's intent to scale back America's presence more than seven years after the invasion which ousted Saddam Hussein's Sunni-led regime. That's led Iraqi leaders to reach out to Mideast neighbors for support and advice on brokering a new government. Leaders from rival political coalitions in the last several months have been to Iran, Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Saudi Arabia on official visits. On Thursday, al-Maliki was in Ankara to meet with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan. It is Iraq's newly warmed alliance with Iran that worries the United States. In a development that may have assured him a second term, al-Maliki this month won al-Sadr's backing. And this week, top Iranian officials gave al-Maliki their clearest nod of support yet during his trip to Tehran. "Our concerns about Iran and its meddling in Iraq's affairs are long-standing," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters in Washington this week. "But that said, we would expect the Iraqi government to work on behalf of its own citizens and not on behalf of another country." In Cairo this week, al-Maliki predicted a new government will be formed soon. A senior Iraqi government official said that will happen regardless of whether the U.S. blesses it, though he acknowledged that Baghdad would be weak without American support. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions. "There is U.S. influence in the political process and forming of the government, but less so than before," said Sunni lawmaker Osama al-Nujaifi. "As they (the Americans) begin to withdraw their military, the Iranians are taking advantage of the empty space, and are ready to fill the vacuum." ___ Associated Press Writer Mazin Yahya contributed to this report.

I have to agree with MRREF that one year in this. LOL. I have been on this ride since 2004. I have been in the background watching, waiting and waiting. Oh and praying. I've seen a lot of newbies lately with a lot of well lets say Fortitude. I have long lost that. I am about to start lighting my barbecue with the stuff. However my other half says wait. It does sound like they might get it together. However I must say that I don't think these people are capable to accomplish such. Their history is proof of that. I've seen indecision before but they take the cake. Lets see, They have been fighting for like 2000 years or so. I could be wrong on the time period but it still says democracy may or may not work. I really don't know. They are sitting on one of the largest oil reserves in the world and their still bickering. At least when me and my lady have a spat I know that in the end she's right, I'm wrong. I pay for her new hair due. I get a 18 pack and do what has to be done the the right way. she's happy. I'm happy. it all goes round. You think that these people can get together in a short period of time on anything. HA. I think we have a long road ahead of us. I pray I am wrong but I have been at this along time. I have studied their politics for 7 years now. Even though it seams like the end is near somehow they seam to drag it on and on. I hope I'm wrong. Best to everybody on this site. You all have kept me laughing and have taught me the meaning of patients and prayer. GO RV. MY BBQ IS STILL WAITING.
