I…think the IMF has warned Iraq, either get rid of the corruption and become transparent or you will never be allowed to join the world economy.
The few loans given recently (1.5 billion) from the WB is just enough to keep them going for another week or two but it does not solve the problem nor do I think it was intended to.
It is my belief that the international community will jump in with loans and money if Abadi can GET RID OF THE CORRUPTION AND FULLY OPEN IRAQ’S BOOKS FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MALIKI TOOK OFFICE.
Until then I think the policy is just tossing Iraq a leaky life jacket, just enough to keep them afloat until they get their act together.
Somebody or some entity has re-engineered this other than the Iraq… IMO.
I personally think it’s a joint effort between the IMF, Britain and the US. The IMF is leading the change, the US is leading the security with Britain having interviewed and chosing the new government minister replacements.
There is not enough time in a day for Abadi to have done this himself.
I also think Sadr has been asked to support Abadi in any way he can. …this government takeover came together so fast, it had to have been thought out in advance especially with all the players doing their part as a well-oiled, practiced team.
