On the one hand the first monetary policy does not have little effect on the oil sector, which contributes at least 45% of the GDP impact. On the other hand, the ban imposed by the law on the central bank from lending to the state robbed the bank of a channel for active intervention in the drafting of the state budget and determine the size and structure of government spending, which is the primary engine of activity in the non-oil sectors of the Iraqi economy. Third, the central bank, and as shown by the analysis of available indicators, it is unable to exercise significant influence on the interest paid and received imposed by banks nor credit policies on actual prices. Fourth and finally the role of banking institutions and bank credit in productive activity and investment to the Iraqi private sector business, modest in size and contribution, is still very limited.
