Iraq
Little technical assistance has been provided to Iraq given the security situation.
Banking supervision
METAC participates in the joint Fund/US Federal Reserve banking supervision training program. It also provides logistical support to the seminars that are held in Beirut.
Public financial management
METAC intends to work with the Iraqi authorities to complete the development of a new budget classification based on the GFSM 2001. This project builds on work that was carried out with the authorities in early 2005. In addition, IMF headquarters is providing support with advice on fiscal federalism issues. USAID and DfID are other donors actively involved in Iraq on public financial management issues.
Statistics
METAC plans to provide assistance with the GDDS promotion, statistical governance, and establishing producer price index, besides providing logistical support to IMF headquarters technical assistance missions.
