Central bank offers stability amid chaos

Shabibi said changes to create the healthy banking system needed for economic progress in Iraq would happen soon.

But he declined to be more specific, displaying a gift for sidestepping questions that he claimed to have learned from the former chairman of the Federal Reserve. "We had some technical assistance from Alan Greenspan in being vague," he said.

Economic : Iraqi economy between the public sector and private sector Translated version of http://www.alsabaah.com/

(The long sentence, it says it all, read it slowly and ask yourself, why?)

It was the public sector in developing countries including Iraq of great importance in terms of its size and its control of the joints, the economy, It is no secret to observers of modern economic development, the developing countries after gaining independence have resorted to political control of the most important economic sectors, for reasons political, economic and social conditions imposed in a timely manner, to achieve social justice in the provision of basic goods and services affordable for citizens and the ability of the government to allocate a large proportion of resources to defend, and contribute to the growth and improvement of living standards through the implementation of infrastructure projects and to maintain a reasonable level of operation and provide employment opportunities and to channel resources towards investment activities that serve major public interests and positive impact on exports.

THINK, Export----->GNP!!!

DEPweb: GNP per Capita Text 1
Gross national product (GNP) per capita is the dollar value of a country’s final output of goods and services in a year, divided by its population. It reflects the average income of a country’s citizens. Countries with a GNP per capita in 1998 of $9,361 or more are described as high income, between $761 and $9,360 as middle income, and $760 or less as low income.

Without the P U B L I C sector, the small businesses, the country dies! The USA is built and relies on the Small business man; more employment, more security, more population/schools, all because of "PEOPLE"! When the business people quit and leave town, the professional folks do the same and what do you have, absolutely nothing, but a large GOVERNMENT and ARMY, for what?

Isn't the secong part of that from the stuff earlier in the summer when evrybody was debating about which zeroes to come off. Or did it get tied into the present sumhow? Dont fry me , I am sincerely hoping for an explanation that sendings me back to doing my dinar Dango (renamed the tango because if i dance the tango its only because Im filthy rich and dont care lol. Please help?

29 September 2006 (Financial Times)

The war of words between Iraq’s central government and authorities of the autonomous Kurdistan region over the control of oil resources took a sharp upturn this week, with Kurdish officials threatening secession over Baghdad’s failure to recognise its right to sign exploration contracts.

In a statement released late on Wednesday, Nechirvan Barzani, prime minister of the autonomous Kurdistan region, attacked remarks by oil minister Hussein al-Shahristani that appeared in the Iraqi press on Sunday. In the interview, Mr Shahristani said that the central government was not bound by contracts signed between international companies and the Kurdistan government.

“I resent Dr Shahristani’s efforts to sabotage foreign investment in Kurdistan’s oil sector,” Mr Barzani said, in an unusually pointed address which also accused Baghdad’s oil ministry of having “done nothing to encourage foreign investment in other parts of Iraq”.

“The people of Kurdistan chose to be in a voluntary union with Iraq on the basis of the constitution.

“If Baghdad ministers refuse to abide by that constitution, the people of Kurdistan reserve the right to reconsider our choice,” the statement said.

The dispute lies in the deliberately vague wording of the Iraqi constitution adopted in October, which states that the central government should be allowed to control existing oil fields but does not spell out who should control newly developed ones.

Kurdish officials say that other parts of the constitution give regional governments all powers not explicitly granted to the federal government. Baghdad claims the issue has yet to be resolved.

Until this week, however, both have kept the conflict relatively low profile and said they hoped the dispute could be resolved through negotiation.

Mr Shahristani’s statement, however, has apparently sparked fears among Kurds that the central government will try to force the issue by pressuring international companies not to invest in the Kurdistan region.

According to Mr Barzani’s statement, foreign companies have invested more than $100m in oil exploration activities in the Kurdistan region since 2003. The central government has little power on the ground in the Kurdistan region, and for now oil companies operating there seem to be shrugging off Baghdad’s challenge to the validity of their contracts.

One of those companies, the Norwegian DNO, on Monday said it had received reassurances from the Kurdish government that the central government “had no authority” to make statements like Mr Shahristani’s.
