The private sector joined Tuesday’s massive reconstruction workshop in Iraq. Baghdad, seeking to raise some $ 90 billion in financial pledges at the conference, sought to reassure investors by offering financial and legal incentives.

“When we launched our campaign in 2014, the organization of the Islamic State was expanding, but today it has been defeated,” Tillerson said in a speech to representatives of coalition states and organizations.

Dade continued,

but warned that the end of major military operations against Dahesh “does not mean that we have defeated him completely.”

Iraq announced the final victory over a pacifist in December after Iraqi forces and the popular mobilization restored large parts of the country that were seized by terrorist gangs in mid-2014.

The gangs also lost the terrorist zones that were controlled by Syria in the same military campaign Which was also accompanied by strikes against Russian troops stationed in Syria and allied with the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

But even though “98 percent of the territory controlled by terrorist gangs in Iraq and in Syria was liberated,” the US secretary of state said the organization was still “a serious threat.”

Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Hamad Al-Sabah warned that despite “positive developments and remarkable results on the ground”, “the international community continues to face a direct threat from armed terrorist groups.”

Washington supports Syria’s “Kurdish People’s Protection Units,” which are fighting a dossier. “On January 20, Turkey launched Operation Olive Branch in northern Syria against the group it classifies as” terrorist. ”

In his speech, the US secretary of state, who is visiting Turkey This week expressed his country’s concern over events in northern Syria, calling on “all parties to continue to focus on defeating the Islamic state organization.”

He said that Iraq offers to the private sector investment in most sectors, Oil, talking about 212 projects allocated by Baghdad to local and international investors and include “legal protection.”

Among these projects are the construction of oil refineries, housing, power plants, airports, railways, trains and roads.

Araji also said that Iraq intends to establish four free zones in the next ten years.

In turn, Oil Minister Jabbar Laibi announced that Iraq intends to increase its oil production by about 2.3 million barrels to reach its daily production by 2020 to seven million barrels. Iraq currently has the capacity to produce five million barrels, but it produces 4.7 million barrels commitment to the agreement to reduce the production signed between OPEC oil countries and beyond.

The efforts of the Kuwait International Conference on Iraq Reconstruction are focused on gathering commitments and pledges from donors and investors.

Iraq relies on international donors, especially the private sector. The value of contributions and financial pledges will be announced on Wednesday.

But rampant corruption is one of Baghdad’s biggest challenges in seeking funds. Iraq ranks 166th out of 176 countries on the list of the most corrupt countries according to the latest list issued by Transparency International.

Kuwait Conference: The Iraqi Government and the Challenge of Low Reliability

Dr.. Hussein Ahmed Al Sarhan 278  2018-02-13

Al Furat Center for Development and Strategic Studies

The General Secretariat of the Council of Ministers announced on February 9, 2018, the completion of the procedures for the convening of the reconstruction conference which will be hosted by the State of Kuwait during the period 12-14 February 2018, confirming the participation of many countries, international companies, international organizations and international financial institutions. For its part, announced the Iraqi National Investment Commission that it will show 157 projects described by the strategy for investment during the conference.

The Iraqi government has already announced the need for $ 100 billion for the reconstruction of the provinces and cities liberated from the control of the terrorist organizations, and is now striving to collect the bulk of this amount in the reconstruction conference in Kuwait with the decline in financial revenues due to low oil prices.

The need for post-conflict reconstruction is not new to Iraq. It can be said that Iraq saw that need three times after 2003 – the need for reconstruction after the US invasion in 2003, reconstruction after the elimination of al-Qaeda and the latest in Iraq at the current stage. As is the case, the state institutions did not succeed in achieving the first and second phases of the reconstruction and stability, which reached the country for this case for several reasons, including corruption, lack of public policy planning, and lack of awareness of the nature of the stage. Which has created a negative image of the performance of state institutions that failed in all sectors except the oil sector and the institutions are considered that they can not succeed in recruiting international support in the reconstruction and stability.

This is to highlight this important and crucial issue of international support for reconstruction. We certainly do not have the Marshall Plan of Iraq, no substantial financial support, and it is very much promoted in Iraq. The system is still the same if we say that it worsened performance more, and still the top spoilers are protected by the organs of the state and have a significant role in decision-making and take, and still political corruption, financial and administrative at the highest levels.

We do not want to be pessimistic, but that’s the reality. We are still afraid, but we are afraid to discover our reality and run away without turning back. The decision makers must realize that the money they can get from countries is mostly taxpayers’ income, so policymakers in participating countries can not sacrifice their voters and their public to pay money to institutions they see as corrupt and inefficient.

In the last few days before the announcement of the military victory and even after announcing the organization of a supporter of the terrorist, the government and judicial institutions and control in front of a large opportunity to confront corruption and launched a campaign and a large and resolute, especially with the support of the general public and religious reference. Much of the financial resources needed for the reconstruction and stability of the liberated areas could have been provided. This file is important and the government has a responsibility to provide a clear picture of it and a precise and practical vision around it to enhance the investment environment. And therefore there is no guarantee that the funds provided will be treated transparently and will be spent in accordance with the accounts of a large transparency at the time does not have the final accounts for the last six years at the level of the federal budget.

Also, in the framework of providing the investment environment, there is another file of files that the government must submit to it, which is the administrative routine and the lack of integration of the legislative framework guaranteeing the rights of investors and the sponsor to provide facilities for foreign investments institutionally. This file is a major shortcoming in which the government and the House of Representatives share a great deal of misfortune. This is because the government did not achieve a few successes in the “one-stop” system, despite its approval.

The banking system and the financial system in the country has traditionally been one of the main infrastructures sought by the investor in ensuring the transfer of his money and profits in a fragile security environment controlled by arms outside the state system in some areas.

These points represent many challenges to the government and the House of Representatives and require them to pass them according to a clear economic vision that contributes to the creation of international credibility in the institutions of the state and meets the ambitions of the international community units in the transparency of spending and the clarity of its tracks in reconstruction and stability.

At this stage, Iraq is the strongest party in defeating terrorism and has achieved remarkable successes in this file. I imagine that the international community has a great interest in not returning terrorism and extremism to it by strengthening the economic environment that guarantees the welfare of individuals and avoids engaging in extremist groups, whether religious or otherwise.
