James Baldwin showed that consumer spending gained 75 percent and the rest of the investment of the total public spending, and perhaps higher allocations spending for defense and interior ministries in order to keep Iraq 's security and stability and finance the war against the "Daesh" and edit controlled areas by these terrorist groups is an explanation for this rise, as well as spending directed to fund programs allocations relief and humanitarian response for displaced people , whose number exceeded 3 million people displaced at the height of the waves of displacement is a reason for this distribution that does not take into account the principle of sustainability.
