MilitiaMan:   The sounds of this and the timing is very interesting. Tomorrow morning the meeting is to take place and two key components within the frame work are the development of the private sector and the government reform plan within the white paper that the PM has shown us  that is within the 2021-2023 Roadmap for Iraq.

If there any other shackles holding Iraq back from getting into the private sector, it may very well be done with post tomorrows morning meeting.

 I recall the UN has had a hand in Iraq sanctions since 2003. Many were lifted. Is this meeting about the last sanction left, the devalued currency since the last war?

I am not sure but, the timing looks perfect. 

We see the security and stability has fresh hands working to make sure things have Iraq in order now. Iraq is meeting with Saudi Arabia in Riyadh from the looks of it today. Riyadh is not only known for security, it is also known for it's Ministry of Planning that includes economy.

Next week there is the Strategic Frame Work meeting with Baghdad and Washington.. The last one too.. Very very very interesting imo.
