The latest report announced by the Iraqi Ministry of Planning on 27-12-2017, that the survey and assessment of damage in the liberated areas, confirms that the volume of destruction of liberated cities amounted to $ 47 billion, and Iraq needs $ 100 billion, for reconstruction and reconstruction.

The Financial Advisor to Abadi said that the conference of donors to be held soon in Kuwait for the reconstruction of Iraq will be attended by more than 70 countries, including the countries of the international coalition against terrorism. He added: The Republic of Iraq will present the investment opportunities available to the private sector The World Organization and its companies and investors to invest in Iraq in the reconstruction phase, saying: Iraq is waiting for grants and assistance related to the reconstruction of cities over the next ten years, according to the report of direct and indirect damage to Iraq because of terrorism And a report will be presented by the delegation of the Government of the Republic of Iraq, where the damage estimated at more than 100 billion dollars, the sponsors of the conference in addition to the State of Kuwait, the World Bank and the United Nations and the European Union.

According to this analysis, the amount of funds will depend on two important factors: donor estimates of damage in those areas that may be inaccurate due to insufficient data, access to the seriousness of liberated cities, and poor confidence in government performance and financial management. Donors require the state to be the implementing companies of the donor state and to pay to avoid the obstacle to waste, the other factor, the government at this conference to convince donor countries of their estimates and their intention to rebuild Iraq, especially as Iraqi governments have not been successful The reconstruction of Iraq for half a decade and with funds exceeding one million dollars.

The United States and the international community are working to secure reconstruction grants for Iraqi cities worth more than $ 115 billion.

To the pockets of corrupt, while some exclude the possibility of achieving that amount, hoping to establish a fund under the supervision of the state and regulatory bodies to avoid the existence of waste or corruption.
