6-22-2013 *Kaperoni ~Article: "Planning: diversification of imports and behind the extension of the five-year plan up to 2017" Good news for sure. These articles that confirm the 5 year plan are significant. If you look at the highlighted area, they are changing direction. Going from 100% dependent on oil, to following the recommendations of the IMF, WB to diversify and create agricultural, manufacturing, tourism and financial/investment. This transition cannot succeed without private investment. And that cannot happen unless Iraq opens up to foreign investment. In other words, If Iraq is going to follow the 5 year plan, have a free market economy, they need to get into Article VIII of the IMF and have the freedom of capital to and from Iraq. The dinar will have to become internationally convertible.
