US Treasury Aide: International Econ Aid Plan For Iraq Being Prepared

WASHINGTON -(Dow Jones)- A plan to boost international economic aid for Iraq is getting ready to make the rounds with potential donor countries, a senior U.S. Treasury Department official said Tuesday.

The plan, called the Iraq compact, would lay out a roadmap and cost estimate for Iraq to rebuild its economy over the next four to five years. It would require certain economic reforms from the Iraqis, while bringing economic aid in return from signatory countries to help finance Iraq's recovery.

"The Iraqi side of the compact is essentially written," said Deputy Treasury Secretary Robert Kimmitt in a meeting with reporters.

In recent meetings at the United Nations, dozens of nations and organizations have begun to discuss "what the donor strategy would be as we move to the next step in the process which would be a ministerial level meeting," in the Persian Gulf region sometime next week, Kimmitt said.

And while the finished compact will detail the medium-term financing needs for Iraq's economic development, those figures haven't been finalized, Kimmitt said.

Whatever those final needs are, Iraq will be expected to first use its own resources to finance the rebuilding effort, followed by drawing down any unused economic assistance, before looking to new international economic donations.

"In the compact there will be a number of provisions aimed at encouraging foreign investment," Kimmitt said.

As we have our department’s general meeting this Monday we will be executing all new orders at Wednesday’s trading session dated 22nd of November 2006.
