GAO: Iraq could have $79 billion budget surplus
The Iraqi government could end this year with as much as a $79 billion cumulative budget surplus, based largely on ever-increasing oil revenues, congressional auditors say.
A report by the Government Accountability Office made public Tuesday prompted renewed calls from senators that Baghdad pay more of the bill for its own reconstruction, which has been heavily supported with U.S. funds.
The projected Iraq surplus, including unspent money from 2005 through 2008, has been building because of rising world oil prices, increasing Iraqi oil production, the government's inability to ****ute budgets for spending its money and persistent violence in the country, the GAO said.
The report was requested by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and Sen. John Warner, R-Va., the chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
"The Iraqi government now has tens of billions of dollars at its disposal to fund large-scale reconstruction projects," Levin said in a statement. "It is inexcusable for U.S. taxpayers to continue to foot the bill for projects the Iraqis are fully capable of funding themselves."
"It is time for the sovereign government of Iraq, using its revenues, expenditures and surpluses, to fully assume the responsibility to provide essential services and improve the quality of life for the Iraqi people," Warner said.
The GAO said Iraq had an estimated cumulative budget surplus of about $29 billion from 2005 to 2007 and could have another surplus of up to $50 billion this year.
The expected surplus could be lower if Iraq passes stalled legislation for a $22 billion supplemental budget for 2008 _ and if the government then e.x.e.cutes the budget.
But the report noted oft-repeated factors holding the government back on its spending plans.
"First ... (the) relative shortage of trained budgetary, procurement and other staff with the necessary technical skills as a factor limiting the Iraqi government's ability to plan and ****ute its capital spending," the GAO said, adding that a second problem is the government's weak accounting systems.
"Third ... violence and sectarian strife remain major obstacles to developing Iraqi government capacity," it said.
The report also estimated that this year Iraq could generate $67 billion to $79 billion in oil sales. Other U.S. officials previously had said they expected the oil windfall to be about $70 billion.
"This substantial increase in revenues offers the Iraqi government the potential to better finance its own security and economic needs," the GAO said.
Since 2005, the United States has funded a number of efforts to teach civilian and security ministries how to effectively e.x.e.cute their budgets.
The efforts included programs to advise and help Iraqi government employees develop the skills to plan programs and to effectively deliver government services such as electricity, water and security.

Iraq resumes oil exports to Turkey
Iraq resumed shipping oil through its northern pipe-line to Turkey early yesterday at a rate of 400,000 barrels per day (bpd), two high level officials from Turkey's pipeline company Botas told Reuters.
The flow through the pipeline to Turkey stopped on Monday for an unknown reason.
The line is Iraq's secondary export route, transporting crude from the northern fields around Kirkuk to the Turkish Mediterranean oil terminal at Ceyhan.
Iraq ships most of its exports through its main export terminal at Basra, which handles about 1.6 million bpd.
Around 750,000 barrels of Iraqi oil was in storage at Ceyhan yesterday, a shipping agent said.
A ship was waiting to berth to load a million barrels for Italian refinery ENI, the agent added.
The pipeline to Turkey was pumping at around 300,000 bpd before the stoppage.
The export route was plagued by sabotage and technical problems after the US invasion of Iraq in March 2003.
Tighter security has allowed Baghdad to increase the flow during the past year.
Turkey suspended oil shipments from Iraq through the pipeline temporarily due to an unpaid debt in July.
