Divided views of members of the Iraqi List, on the statements of leading in the list referring to the possibility of supporting the Iraqi for the nomination of leading the National Coalition Adel Abdul Mahdi, to assume the presidency of the next government in the event of commissioning, while welcoming the national coalition to support Iraq for their candidate, saying this would solve the crisis formation of the government, agreed with the views of the leaders in the two lists to remove al-Maliki of the competition.

And was a member of the Iraqi List melon beauty revealed in a press statement of the existence of a trend in Iraq to support the nomination of Adel Abdul-Mahdi as prime minister in the absence of charged with forming a government.

Nujaifi: We have no scenario to support Abdel Mahdi
Unlike what the watermelon, "says leader of the Iraqi List, Osama Nujaifi in an interview with" Alsumaria News, "The support of the Iraqi List, the National Coalition for the candidate, Adel Abdul-Mahdi" is unlikely among the members of the list of Allawi that we support this position."

Nujaifi shows that the statements of Deputy Jamal melon on the support the candidature of Abdul-Mahdi, a "personal opinion", adding that it "makes no sense to speak some support for a candidate from outside, the Iraqi list of winners and has nominated to head the government."

And demands Nujaifi, head of the list of (Iraqi) internalized within the Iraqi List, which won 20 seats in legislative elections for the province of Nineveh, blocks the winner of "collaborating with the Iraqi National List in the nomination of Iyad Allawi as prime minister," saying "there is no scenario in Iraq at support Abdel Mahdi."

Mullah: We will support Abdel Mahdi said that we could not form a government

This is not what we implanting in the minds of Iraqis," noting that "our support for any prime minister other than al-Maliki will establish the principle of peaceful transfer of power and this is in the interest of the Iraqi people and in favor of the political process in Iraq, "according to his opinion.

It goes a spokesman for the Iraqi List "All the arguments of the National Coalition of Iraq in recent months, particularly the Supreme Council the bids are mature and secure partnership of national and freedom of citizenship, so they are consistent with the existing projects of Iraq," adding that "the last thing the Iraqi List is the issue positions or the division of Iraq along sectarian or reproduce the experience of autocracy, which was found at the Maliki government."

And try to Iraqi National Coalition, which came in the order in third in the election with 70 seats to play throughout the period that followed the announcement of the results to be a key player and a compromise candidate to form a new government under the disharmony between the Iraqi List, which has been first and a coalition of state law, which came second.

Increased the chances of the National Coalition to increase the differences between al-Maliki, Allawi, which make all of the parties to rely on the National Alliance with him to form the government, in addition to the complexity of the negotiations between the latter and a coalition of state law to form a Shia alliance, encouraged Iraq to open up to the National Coalition which has increased the penalty .

In the view of al-Bayati said in an interview for "Alsumaria News", to "give up the existing Iraqi insistence as the winning list and has the right to form a government, to pave the alliance with the National Coalition on whether the failure of the alliance with the state of the law."

Indicates a member of the National Coalition that "the insistence of the rule of law to Maliki's nomination for the post of prime minister, the depth of the gap between him and the National Coalition for the position that Iraq is a positive development," he said.

He continues to draw al-Bayati, the Iraqi List to support the nomination of Adel Abdul Mahdi, "will weaken the chances of al-Maliki in other states and the likely possibility of the collapse of the alliance between the National Coalition and the state of the law if it insisted on a candidate."

The members of the coalition rule of law and the Iraqi National confirmed that negotiations are at a standstill did not yield anything by the refusal of Iran, Maliki took a second term and seeks to find an alliance between Iraq and the Kurdistan National Coalition takes its last privileges over entitlement election as the representative of the component Shiite.

Support may come breakthroughs in the situation
For his part, welcomed the Liberal leadership in the bloc affiliated with the National Coalition Prince Kanani orientation of the Iraqi List "to support the nomination of Adel Abdul Mahdi, in the absence of its mandate to form a government," saying that that position is "open to the political process and a breakthrough in it."

"

Growth of the Iraqi economy needs to be modest and private capital

Central Bank official said that Iraq will not likely be able to make further cuts to interest rates in 2010, which would mark a modest growth and the government should seek to boost the economy by attracting more private capital.

The growth slowed down in Iraq, exhausted by decades of war and economic sanctions and lack of investment - with the exception of the key oil sector - to four percent of gross domestic product last year than ten percent in 2008.

A senior adviser Qassem harmful Central Bank of Iraq in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday he did not expect record growth of more than four percent this year, although central economic planning structural acting as a brake to growth.

He said, "we have created a climate of stability, but we must create a climate for development. Stability without development of no value to him." He added, "What did not develop investment projects in Iraq .. I think the situation (economic) will be very difficult."

Kassem, who participate in meetings of the Central Bank's monthly policy-making that the rate of core inflation - which excludes Iraq fuel - fell to three percent in April, is likely to remain in the range of less than ten percent and the bank's target for the remainder of the year.

The decline in inflation allowed for Iraq to cut its benchmark interest rate by 100 basis points to six percent in April, but Qassem said he does not expect further cuts this year, though interest rates may rise.

Seen interest rates in Iraq largely as a symbolic, as the Iraqi economy outside the public sector and oil production are often informal, but is indicative of the interest rates banks rather than for cash directly.

The central bank sets the exchange rate of the dinar through periodic auctions for currencies.

Iraq and lacks investment and is slowing down in the process of rebuilding a country continues to recover from the effects of US-led invasion in 2003 to topple Saddam Hussein.

The Iraqi economy is still largely isolated from the global financial system is dominated by oil exports, which constitute more than 95 percent of state revenues. Iraq has the third largest reserves of crude oil in the world.

Kassem said that it was important that the next change of government the current economic system of the country and give more emphasis to increase business investment through the development of partnerships between the public and private sectors.

"The problem in Iraq that nearly 90 percent of the country's wealth in the hands of the government. So dominated by the central mental everywhere."

He went on saying, "This (partnership between the public and private) is the best system for Iraq. I think that the next government to adopt this system, otherwise there will be no solution."

Iraq is gripped by a political vacuum after the elections that took place on the seventh of March, which did not produce a clear winner, but authentication of the Supreme Court on the election results earlier this week means that the electoral blocs can now start serious negotiations to form a government.

The current government was open to partnerships between the public and private sectors and is considering granting a license a fourth mobile phone operator in the country to an entity controlled by the state and the private sector.

The State is the largest employer in Iraq, although unemployment is high and currently stands at 18 percent. Kassem said he hoped in a reduced rate to between seven and eight percent in 2011.

Iraq is hoping the creation of three million to four million new jobs by 2014 under the five-year plan for economic development.
