Iraq's First Public Budget
On July 7, 2003, Ambassador L. Paul Bremer announced to the Iraqi people and the world a national budget for Iraq for the remainder of 2003. The adoption and publication of a budget is an important step for a country where budgets have traditionally been closely guarded state secrets and it was a crime to report on them.
This brief from the Iraq Revenue Watch project of OSI's Central Eurasia Project summarizes the main points of Iraq’s 2003 budget and provides recommendations on how to make the budgetary process more transparent and participatory. Also provided below in PDF format is the official July-December 2003 budget for the Republic of Iraq.
