In a country, that floats on lakes of oil and gas. Iraq was one of the richest countries in the world during 1970s. Today, due to the US-UK invasion and occupation: Iraq became the poorest country in the world. Iraqi citizens live below the poverty line for successive tragedies. This book gives very significant suggestions on how to activate Iraqi economy. Regarding the harsh conditions from International Monetary Bank; the bank likes to give Iraq a loan up to $ 4.5 billion under severe conditions. Even if Iraq received the loan, the people do not get some benefits from it. On the contrary, the people have to pay exorbitant taxes. In addition, Iraq government must cancel the food ration card, increasing price of fuel, electricity and water services. America left Iraq in comprehensive ruins and destruction; and erected on Iraq corrupt rulers under untrue democracy. Rulers are not interested in providing good services to citizens. They are busy in collecting millions of dollars. Indeed, they are busy with personal benefits and interests. One of the officials said that the amounts which were stolen from the state budget from 2003 to 2016 amounted to about $ 1,000 billion. Therefore, Iraqi needs very strong and fair government. Strong government can collect from official people and responsible a lot of money. The total amounts that can be afforded to the budget during the period of seven days are more than 135 billion dollars. That will be enough money to put a good plan for an investment and operational budget for two years respectively. So, Iraq does not need any loan from International Fund which will be offset Iraq and makes it poor country after five years.
