_firefly_ says():The drop in oil prices over the past two years has battered Baghdad's finances as it wages a battle against Islamic State militants in the north and west and confronts a political crisis that threatens to bring down the government.
Iraq, which relies on oil for more than 90 percent of its revenue and sells at a discount to global benchmark crudes, earned an average of $24 a barrel in the first two months of the year and $28 in March, the Iraqi official said late on Wednesday. "We have to rebuild the budget taking this into consideration."
The revised budget, which has not been finalised, is part of Iraq's negotiations for a standby agreement (SBA) with the IMF, the official added. The SBA financing could be approved as early as June, unlocking $15 billion in international assistance over the next three years.

"If an SBA is reached, part of that financing gap will be met by IMF and other donor financing, but it will not close the entire gap," Nasaa said.
"A number of measures are going to have to come from the government itself to increase revenues and bring expenditure in line with the new revenue reality. It has to be a combination of both."
The Iraqi official declined to specify what measures Baghdad would take to reduce the deficit, but said: "It is a must, otherwise we will have to borrow more and more." – Reuters

TUJ says to _firefly_(): GM I certainly like the very first statement in the pdf 1. The Fund’s legal framework provides the basis to actively promote the liberalization of member countries’ current accounts.

A concerted staff effort is needed to press for the removal of unapproved exchange restrictions and MCP’s and to ensure that new changes to members’ exchange control regimes are consistent with Article VIII obligations and macroeconomic considerations.
Moreover, growing demand for technical assistance in the foreign exchange area provides opportunities for expanding the Fund’s involvement in streamlining members’ exchange control regimes. There is also significant scope to improve the compilation of information on members’ exchange systems and to further the understanding of the economic implications of existing exchange restrictions and MCPs.
