Iraq 'privatization' within two years

The new Iraq's minister of finance Kamel al-Keilani under the interim governing council announced that a clear work plan will be drawn to privatize industries owned by the government within two years.

Al-Keilani said that first the Iraqi people should be convinced of the idea to sell governmental industries especially the oil sector, noting that the "the period is very clear of no less than 2 years.. we will define first the sectors that can be privatized and draw the foundations and make sure that the issue is accepted for the Iraqi people."
