The report, issued by the International Center for Development Studies, based in London that "the Iraqi government will be unable to finance their projects or to fulfill its obligations within the next three years, as a result of the inability of Iraq to provide sources of income other than oil to finance its budget public, in addition to increasing government spending by up to 60%, "adding that" the proportion of the deficit would be great to the extent that it threatens to halt a number of projects in different parts of the country.

"

The report emphasized that "in spite of Iraq sought to increase its oil production to more than 4.7 million barrels per day until 2015, but the oversupply in the global markets with a strong return for Iranian oil and increase the production of oil shale in the United States and slow growth of the Chinese economy are all factors began to push the price of crude Brent, who could fall over the next year in 2015 to about $ 100 a barrel. "

The report pointed out that "the outstanding issues between Baghdad and the province regarding the dues of companies and balancing the guards of the region is an obstacle to capitalize on the budget from oil exports to the region, amounting to 400 000 barrels per day," pointing out that "the Iraqi government demanded by obtaining revenue for the entire quantity exported while insisting Erbil that exports did not exceed 255 thousand barrels per day.

The report pointed out that "Iraq needs to spend nearly a trillion dollars over the next ten years to develop its oil sector and a number of strategic projects, most notably the housing industry, but that this figure seems far-fetched, especially in light of the difficult conditions to attract foreign investment and lack of flexibility of the economic system and the failure of the banking environment in Iraq, "stressing that" Iraq in the absence of its success in reducing the expenses of government and reform of its economic system and its institutions, which suffer from red tape and bureaucracy, and financial and administrative corruption as well as to diversify sources of income and find quick solutions to provide security and stability, it could pressure future for the formation of new regions announces separation from Center raises questions about the future of Iraq as a state oil and a strong economy. "
