Special IG for Iraq Reconstruction January 30, 2008 Quarterly Report and Semiannual Report to Congress
“Success in the continuing U.S. relief and reconstruction efforts in Iraq in 2008 will depend substantially on the Government of Iraq’s capacity to employ its own reconstruction resources in support of a national recovery plan. 2008 will be a Year of Transfer for the U.S. program, with a number of important milestones to meet. Three key developments will affect the Year of Transfer. First, Iraq’s national income could substantially exceed expectations because of the rise in oil prices and production. This potential windfall underscores the need for the GOI to pursue its duty to fight corruption with renewed vigor. Second, four pending legislative and constitutional measures could significantly affect governance in Iraq: the regions law, the provincial powers law, the elections law, and Article 140 of the Iraq Constitution. How Iraq resolves these measures will shape decisions on how the United States continues to support the reconstruction program. Third, Iraq is expected to assume primary security responsibility for all 18 provinces in 2008. This evolution in security will affect the U.S. role in Iraq’s reconstruction.”
