The oil boom will give Iraq a surplus of nearly $80 billion (42 billion) by the end of this year, a US agency has concluded, raising the political pressure for a cut in American spending to help the country to recover.
High oil prices will soon give the Iraqi Government a pot of $79 billion in unspent funds, the US’s Government Accountability Office (GAO) projects in a new report to Congress. It adds that nearly $10 billion has been sitting in a US bank in New York because the Iraqi Government has been so slow in spending funds on reconstruction.
