In conjunction with the wave of popular anger of government performance, and demonstrations, and moving water reforms by reference in Najaf, last Friday, and claim to be reforms, "real", came Finance Minister Hoshyar Zebari's remarks, which are denied by the post, not the government's ability to continue to push forward employees' salaries during the next April, as a prick in extra feet Iraqi employee.

First oppositions and set off on a decision by the reduction of university professors, and who have expressed their categorical rejection to reduce the portion of their salary through large demonstrations, denounced the government to go towards reducing the monthly dues.

Amid the presence of the fingers point towards the fact that the austerity measures announced by the government work out, may be "conditions" of the International Monetary Fund to lend to Iraq, nodded activists and economists specialists, they took the economic crisis seriously, by the possible reduction of the crisis and bridging the gap deficit in the 2016 budget year, which exceeded the 24 trillion dinars.

And he predicted the parliamentary finance committee member Majda al-Tamimi's government to take "measures" and described "a failure", to meet the fiscal deficit, the government, represented by the orientation towards reducing the rate of the dinar or mortgage oil.

She said Tamimi's "Eye Iraq News", that "the government is expected to tend to reduce the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar or mortgage Iraqi oil for decades to come," asserting that "these two options Sadharan the Iraqi economy and the citizen significantly."

But the trend is expected for the Government of the Central Bank found lookout, where the latter stressed that "the bank's board is the only body authorized according to the law determining the dinar exchange rate."

In addition to the above solutions, the Iraqi government stressed the need to go to the Iraqi industries and the development of the industrial and agricultural sector to ease the pressure on oil, which some dropped to the difficulty of the advancement of the domestic industry, which took decline gradually after 2003, until it became the "Made in Iraq" a number of anecdotes until the tomato paste tray.

The proposed other solution has walked away Iraqi map, down to the Arab and European countries, representing the levy Iraqi funds contraband, and foreign affairs, in addition to the cancellation of Mentvih economic agreements necessary, including the Baghdad agreement-Oman, and the judge to sell a barrel of oil at less than rolling the market price at $ 20, which will provide 200 thousand dollars a day for the Iraqi treasury, as opposed to "good neighbor" principle taken by Oman, and even Baghdad, for the continuation of the Convention concluded between the two parties.
