    Iraq scraps $3 bln bond sale, eyes local debt

    Iraq has scrapped a plan to sell $3 billion of treasury bonds, mostly to pay for electricity projects, and instead plans to raise the money through domestic banks, a central bank advisor said on Sunday.

    Earlier this month, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki berated lawmakers for failing to ratify a bill for the bond sale before parliament broke for summer recess, saying Iraq needed the money to pay General Electric.

    In 2008, Iraq signed multi-billion dollar deals with GE and Siemens to add nearly 9,000 megawatts of capacity over the next few years.

    'The issue of the bonds has ended,' said senior central bank advisor Mudher Kasim. About $2.4 billion of the $3 billion bond sale was destined for electricity projects.

    Iraq would instead raise $2.4 billion by allowing banks to lend the Finance Ministry cash from their reserve requirements, at a rate of two percent for a term of one year.

    The legal framework and exact mechanism of the fund raising were not immediately clear.

    Even though it has been more than six years since the U.S.-led invasion, Iraq's dilapidated electricity sector provides only intermittent power, a chief complaint among Iraqis in the searing summer heat.

    Iraq's current electricity capacity is 7,500 megawatts, far short of the country's requirement of 12,000 megawatts.

    Political wrangling between Iraq's feuding ethnic and sectarian groups has bogged down the legislative process, creating a backlog of draft bills needing ratification.

    Maliki said he had met GE officials during his trip last month to the United States, who told him they had already made equipment for Iraq and had complained of not being paid.

    Iraq had to slash its 2009 budget three times due to a sharp fall in oil prices from last year. Almost all of Iraq's income is derived from oil sales from its vast reserves, the world's third largest.

    Deferred investment!

    Now, the President of the national investment d. Sami al-ball in the goal of parliament pointed to the body for changes to the investment law, pending the adoption by him at the time of the second legislative term.

    Became clear and no doubt less, according to al-starting the future of construction and reconstruction depended on the one elected by the parliament by the people who expected him to achieve his dreams at least in the provision of adequate housing and quality services.

    The missing link in this extensive body attempts to start investing is the nature of the changes that will occur after the approval of the law it is sufficient and adequate and responsive to the wishes and interests of investors, whether submitted to the international companies and corporations and the private sector and local immigrant demanded it. We are legitimate questions for the panel to be extrapolated over the interaction and response of investors, the new shape with the law after the amendments are not approved and hoped to win their share in the second chapter of the legislative agenda of the parliament, if allowed time and agenda filled many bills to review or read and discuss the amendments for approval before the end of his duties.

    We are not pessimistic, to find a solution, but we are not patient to wait for the results, especially given that the challenges and the political situation Twatrut significant impact on the economic reality in the country.

    I think that the Commission will offer amendments to the beneficiaries, particularly those that negotiated the entry with the investments and wait for her luggage at the border to enter Iraq after the law to ensure their rights, but it seems to pass fast becoming a feature of the political and economic work in this country that is in greatest need as a starting investments that build the home tired and hungry to build there and the way to note if the body has done so Fdhirna We the press that we will not hear or read or see anything of this nature because of the weakness of the flow of information to us for such activities. There is another matter, Dr. Araji has answered questions offered in this column on Aidip or who was responsible for the assignment of an investment project in the camp of good reference for the negotiation with the company first and found the answer Dhalte and healing that the body had begun to take the role required of the beneficiaries without the intervention of the project, but it seems to depend on the investment, then the adoption of amendments to the deferred for an indefinite period until the adoption of the amendments and we hope that she has settled.
