Iraq invites foreign firms for $50 bln housing plan

Iraq has doubled its goal of building 500,000 housing units after international companies showed a healthy appetite to win the construction contracts, the chairman of Iraq’s National Investment Commission said. As a result the war-shattered nation is looking for bidders to build 1 million new units, valued at an average of $50,000 each, for a total value of $50 billion.

Iraq’s growing population faces an acute shortage of homes after years of war and sanctions. The government, which hopes to build the 1 million new homes within three years, estimates it will need about 2 million new units in the next five years.

“When we saw the huge interest by giant firms ... this made us seize the opportunity instead of 500,000 to reach for 1 million,” investment commission chairman Sami al-Araji told Reuters in an interview on Monday.

More than 100 firms showed interest in the ambitious project including American, Emirati, Chinese, Turkish and Canadian companies, he said. Araji said his commission has concluded negotiations with Canadian firm Traugott Building Contractors to build 100,000 units in six provinces and will sign a contract “as soon as possible”.

“We are planning in the next three months to hold discussions with all the companies and when we reach the stage of understanding with any company, we will sign a contract with it immediately,” Araji said.

Construction has been hampered by red tape and security concerns since the 2003 U.S. invasion. The government hopes a sharp fall in violence in the last two years and a new investment law allowing foreigners to own land for housing projects will entice foreign developers. Araji said the government had set up favourable terms to lure construction companies.

“We will bring the land and bring them the buyer, and we will participate in funding the project. They will not risk any money, they will finish the work and they will sell it (the housing unit) to a company which we will establish,” Araji said.

Iraq signed up global oil companies last year to develop its rich oilfields and hopes to put its petroleum income to work rebuilding the country. In January the city of Baghdad announced it was looking for planners and builders for a project for 75,000 apartments in the Sadr City slum. City officials said they had also signed a contract with an Emirati investment firm for a $15 billion housing project in eastern Baghdad, including 65,000 housing units on 5,000 acres (2,000 hectares) of land.

Iyad Allawi accuses Iran of election interference

Iyad Allawi, the man who won Iraq's parliamentary elections, has accused Iran of trying to prevent him from becoming prime minister.

The leader of the secular alliance that narrowly won this month's poll told the BBC that Tehran was interfering directly in Iraq's electoral process.

His Iraqiyya bloc beat the rival State of Law alliance of Prime Minister Nouri Maliki by just two seats.

Both the UN and US envoys to Iraq have said the 7 March poll was credible.

But Mr Maliki has said he will challenge the count through the courts.

Despite winning the election, Mr Allawi is a long way short of the majority he needs to form a government, says the BBC's Andrew North in Baghdad.

Much of his support came from Iraq's Sunni minority, our correspondent adds, but most of the parties he would need to back him represent Iraq's Shia majority, and have close ties to Iran.

Difficulty governing?

In an interview with the BBC, Mr Allawi said it was "very clear" that Iran was trying to stop him from becoming prime minister.

"Iran is interfering quite heavily and this is worrying," he said.

He accused the Iranian government of interfering by inviting all the major parties to Tehran for talks, except his own Iraqiyya bloc.

"They have invited everybody - but they haven't invited us - to Tehran," he said.

He said he was concerned Tehran was also influencing a commission that has been vetting candidates for ties to Saddam Hussein's Baath party, which may disqualify more of his supporters.

Some are likely to see Mr Allawi's comments as an excuse for the possibility he may not be able to form a government, says our correspondent.

While many Shias backed him, others are suspicious of his past links to the Baath party.

The Iranian embassy in Baghdad declined to comment.

'Largest bloc'

According to final results published by Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission (IHEC), Mr Allawi's secular Iraqiyya bloc won 91 of the Council of Representative's 325 seats, 72 short of a majority.
