Government faces d. Haider al-Abadi day duties big and heavy and tasks, and the Iraqi people waiting impatiently for completion of this government. At the forefront of these duties and tasks to address the security situation, and to ensure stability in the country, especially the extraordinary efforts to accelerate the elimination of (Daash) and gangs of terrorist organizations, and the achievement of civil peace among all spectrums of the Iraqi people, through the solution of political, sectarian and ethnic problems between the parties involved in the political process and with the Kurdistan region for the sake of the unity of Iraq and its people. Also, serious approach towards activating the role and performance of the various state institutions, based on the principles of good governance based on the foundations of a true democracy, transparency, integrity, responsibility, and disclosure of information, and the fight against financial and administrative corruption in the administrative and party joints.

The background ideology adopted by successive governments based on orders, resolutions and recommendations of the former US administrator Paul Bremer after the occupation in 2003, and support some of the new economic liberals, and in line with international financial organizations' policies (the IMF and the World Bank and the World Trade Organization). The emphasis in the current government's economic program, and within several themes, focused on encouraging a shift towards the private sector, financial and administrative reform of government institutions, all of which recognize and support the privatization.

Means privatization converter (public domain) to (private property), which is usually directed toward projects with high profitability, and the launch of price fixing in the market on the basis of free competition without any restrictions, paving the way, in the end, to the dominance of monopoly of big companies and installed themselves in market and dispose of prices and quality for their own interests (profit maximization), and the acquisition of small and medium-sized companies and expelled from the market.

The market economy, according to this ideology, this means the dimensions of the state of the market and non-interference in the regulation and control of economic activity or reduce its role to the fullest extent possible, given that the market itself does so by supply and demand and free competition.

Within this data, we see that the state of the Iraqi economy today need to go about applying some kind of balanced economy, according to the diverse forms of ownership (government, cooperative, mixed), and / or even the voluntary sector, if it became part of the Iraqi culture in the future, with the adoption and implementation of protection measures Iraqi national production of dumping the local market and the liberalization of foreign Mountojat prices of any restrictions.

To accomplish these tasks and the other requires the current government thinking seriously process of economic and social reform, through the adoption of a clear vision and transparent strategy for sustainable economic and social development, including overall economic and social of the process according to a number of trends we show, in short dimension, as follows:

First, the economic dimension

1 that the reform of the economic structure should be based on clear and transparent strategy to activate the productive sectors, notably agriculture, industry, construction, etc., and secure infrastructure and modern technology necessary, in order to rid the Iraqi economy of structure unilateral based on reliance on oil revenues, so as to diversify the sectors economic participation in the production of GDP, permanent insurance to public sources of financing of the budget of the state from outside the oil sector.

The cause of this situation (low spending for investment) budget deficit in the creation of a dynamic state-level economic growth rate of 5% to 7% for example, which requires a huge investment needs of the country in the field of rebuilding the infrastructure and expansion, and rehabilitation of the oil sector to raise production of crude oil to 9 million barrels a day until 2020, and moderately priced oil, as well as the advancement of other productive sectors.

Finally, the many and different from the destruction that can be avoided forms stem from privatization and market economy in the absence of social preparation and technical advances have enough. What's happening in Eastern Europe and the most underdeveloped and developing countries, including Iraq, is to hold a copy of the free-market capitalism (ideological) strongly within the recipe (shocked), which do not have any basis of experimental treatment. Some of the information, reports, and research and opinion polls in Central and Eastern Europe indicate that the rampant corruption in the privatization and Alsoqna policies, implemented under existing rules, has essentially created a resistance requires either a comprehensive settlement or repression. It is noticeable from the experience of welfare states, including for example the Scandinavian countries, they do not reflect quite a few interesting forms of pure capitalism, but that the regulations emphasize the option to include forms of social protection and to varying degrees. To achieve another alternative, a new type of social settlement contains a mix institutionally different from European classical capitalism may appear, and in line with economic rationality correctly, social, regulatory and legal environment of each country.
