It has already been carried to the Integrity Committee the responsibility of parliamentary government flight director of Trade Bank of Iraq outside the country for the government, stressing that the Commission had stressed on several occasions not to allow any official to travel only after approval.
It is noteworthy that Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki announced in the second of this month that the Council of Ministers as directly responsible for the Trade Bank of Iraq, decided to form an investigative committee shared the Integrity Commission and the Financial Inspection Office and the Ministry of Finance and experts, where she presented a report on irregularities in the Bank of Iraq trade indicating that the report referred to the judicial authorities responsible for its consideration.

The talk about Iraq's accession to the WTO and the protection of its funds abroad is different from what exists on the ground, a link such as the decisions of independent bodies including the World Bank and the central Iraqi government rather than directly from the House of Representatives, and not the government's focus on supporting the private sector.
Despite the wide openness to the world experienced by Iraq since the change began in 2003 after decades of isolation, but the external economic relations are still experiencing stumbled clear for several reasons, foremost of which is economic recession.
Observers point out that the accession to the WTO represents a major objective of many of the local economies because of the advantages achieved by this accession of integration into the global economy, and provide great opportunities for investment, as well as finding markets for their products, but that this process is linked to the size and nature of the components of competitiveness, which is owned the national economy, to enter the global market partner and a competitor, which is not available for the Iraqi economy at this juncture.
