Money talks as we all know and in this case it is BIG WORLD MONEY AND INVESTMENTS. Iraq will have squeaked in right under the wire...watch and see. I would guess miraculously the CBI will be up today....reval in place and getting ready for international ISX trading. If this all ends up being pretty much the scenario then it was brilliant that the CBI went down intentionally and prevented any hackers, leaks, or pre-empted electronic attacks....what better way to keep things under wraps by PULLING THE PLUG!!! Just my thought on this.

It is also responsible for the link between production and importation activities of the hand and consumer activity It is the most interest and attention and responsibility on the other hand, It represents the first part of the supply of goods and commodities necessary for life and taught, The second part of the demand, then is finally responsible for the development of Iraq's external economic relations of the various countries of the world (surrounding us or away from us.) The tasks assigned to the commercial sector in the current circumstances outstanding. The intricacy and overlap between this sector serious overall national economic activity, as well as the overall economic and social developments and political turmoil, which take place in the international arena, domestic and international. Here is the sector of women which reflects the problems and imbalances activities and national sectors also reflect the problems and imbalances of the international economy. The commercial sector also is the source of many of the solutions that will help other sectors Through the importance of (the Ministry of Commerce) to know the reasons for the stagnation of commodities and consumer materials, and work to increase the level of performance and production.

The review appears evident to us that the structural trade (internal and external) in the new Iraq, based mainly as is the case on the quality of institutions with a number of activities related qualitative jurisdiction, They also have many branches and exhibitions scattered throughout Iraq. In addition to the existence of a special kind is a consumer cooperative societies. This is the Ministry of (trade) should strive to activate this kind of cooperatives within the mixed sector with the focus on the role of the private sector. The increasing reliance on this kind of style socialist societies emerging as the focus of internal distribution of consumer goods and production in the hands of the government, leading to the diversity of goods to large markets (as was the former central market) To enjoy citizen now flowing purchase must be exercised (Ministry of Trade) of the central control persistent commercial activity rules, They thus bear the burden of responsibility to the people of the consequences of the prevailing chaos in the commercial markets and indiscriminate confusion that accompanies the commercial market and the consumer to sign a victim of neglect of official bodies deviation traders on the implementation of laws, which prompts the market to stand openly against the events from the chaos of prices Rah Eph. . Those to analyze and officials statements about (upgrading the living of the Iraqi people) To expedite the return of (the Ministry of Commerce) has imposed on the government so as to leave things to so will only make the situation worse than defying government repatch hernia occurred. The happenings in the (fuel shortages and other derivatives), a phenomenon and the situation together, which Atsthaq mentioned it shameful phenomenon to the world.
