These are important to support the local governments which us apart of the original UN plan to rebuild the country of Iraq as a democracy. So they are complying with the UN sanctions to de-centralize the government. The GOI has actually done something last week and today when they approved the budget amendment. That was a requirement of the IMF, and by passing it, they got the loan installment approval from the IMF’s review. Today’s regional laws help them comply with the UN. So the GOI actual made progress. But, the real need here is a deal with the Kurds. They are coming to Baghdad next week but it’s all about Barzani getting his own country. Also they announced that the budget has been amended and is projected to go from 95% revenue derived from oil down to 85%. That’s an important step to economic diversification that the IMF wanted.
