THIS INCREASE IN INVESTMENT SPENDING, WILL REVIVE THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND INVESTMENT IN THE COUNTRY, which contributes to increase the recruitment of labor and reduce unemployment rates in the country.” 2018 budget was based on $45+ for a barrel of oil. Oil is now almost double that amount $70+. So there is a huge surplus of oil revenues. Iraq is not only swimming in oil they are also swimming in mullah (money).
