Add your able leadership of the state and social mobilization, a third-based economic growth to establish a strong base to build an integrated system. Iraq is the middle-income countries approaching the average annual per capita income for the (6000) Dolaraam 2012, according to the Central Bank ..

Thus, we classify the world as part of upper middle class's billion with an average annual income (4000-12000) dollars .. Iraqis - in theory - better than (70%) of the inhabitants of the land, totaling (7) billion people who fall for their incomes (4000) dollars. Does this mean that a condition of economic growth? answer is negative .. These statistical figures .. It is a proof of the weakness of economic growth.

Oil accounts for about 70% of the gross national product, compared to an increasing decline of agriculture and industry to reach (3.5%) (1.5%), respectively .. The decline in the share of private sector fixed capital formation to only 7% according to figures of 2008. Economic growth is required not to increase income, the importance, but moving the real sectors and the adoption and development of the country. Encourages his money the easy oil is down and the profit motives of action in the commodity sectors, and lose the justification of its existence. It encourages laziness, unemployment and employment, migration, consumption, import, militarization and arms and corruption, that is deduced entirely from economic growth.

And strengthens the rentier state and the state of charge at the expense of the taxpayers and the state of the citizen .. And encourages social mobilization hostilities closed, fearful inside with the outside .. Not the people-centered and positive relations based on the need for one another .. But centered sense of uniqueness and the ability .. Which gives the legitimacies, institutions and rights concepts and behavior contrary to the emerging nation-building on the foundations of true sustainable. so the importance of transfer of ownership of oil to the people .. And distribution of its resources upon the state to cut oil tax ..

And the formation of investment funds and joint stock companies and the economy. Exports may soon achieve a rate of (5-6) million barrels per day, bringing the average annual per capita income for more than (12000) dollars .. We become high-income countries of the world distinguished statistically .. But in fact, things will continue .. Constantly mindsets and behaviors, especially with the doubling of the population. Remains a high percentage under the poverty line .. And continued deterioration of services, electricity, water, health, education, infrastructure and real sectors, but may continue to import oil derivatives. The evolution of oil revenues and the evolution of something real economy is something else .. I may allow the development of the economy, but it could also destroy.
