    New US$1.485 Billion Package to Support Iraq’s Drive to Counter Cost of War, Low Oil Prices

    The World Bank Group has endorsed a new US$1.485 billion package to support reforms to improve public service delivery and transparency, stimulate private sector growth and support job creation.
    Iraq continues to face a large humanitarian crisis with 10 million people, over one quarter of the population, estimated to be in need of assistance, of which 3.4 million are internally displaced people and 240,000 refugees.
    The institution’s Board of Directors approved today [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], for a total of US$1.443 billion including guarantees from the governments of the United Kingdom (US$371.82 million) and Canada (US$72 million), a testament of strong international support to Iraq.
    The DPF’s key development objectives focus on:
    (i) supporting expenditure rationalization;
    (ii) improving energy efficiency; and
    (iii) enhancing the transparency and governance of state-owned enterprises.
    Ferid Belhaj (pictured), World Bank Director for the Middle East, said:
    “Despite an ongoing war and low oil prices, Iraq is undertaking bold transformational reforms that will safeguard economic stability and lay the foundations for longer term private sector development and inclusive growth for all Iraqis.
    “The reforms will help build trust between Iraqi citizens and their government, by making the management of public funds more efficient and transparent and expanding social safety nets to reach the most vulnerable segments of the population.”
    Separately, the Bank’s governing body also endorsed a US$41.5 million operation for the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], which supports the overall objectives of the DPF series and aims to support Iraq’s public financial management system.
    Robert Bou Jaoude, the Bank’s Country Manager for Iraq, said:
    “This operation is complementary to the objectives of the DPF and will support the Government in its goal to improve transparency in the management of public funds and financial information and modernize public procurement practices across many federal and governorate agencies.”
    Today’s overall financial assistance package is aligned with the Government’s recovery blueprint for 2015-2018. It is also in line with the [url=http://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2016/12/20/World Bank%E2%80%99s Strategy for the Middle East and North Africa]World Bank’s Strategy for the Middle East and North Africa[/url], which calls for renewing the social contract in fragile states, supporting regional cooperation, bolstering the resilience to refugee crises, and initiating reconstruction and recovery programs where needed.
    With the new package, the World Bank’s present engagement in Iraq rises to nearly US$3.4 billion, including multi-sectoral support to the reconstruction and rehabilitation of areas recently recovered by Government forces and a transport corridor investment.
    In addition, the Bank is providing wide-ranging technical assistance to the Kurdistan Regional Government.
