Content Inside: 1 No. 04-1 Economic Policy and Prospects in Iraq Christopher Foote William Block Keith Crane and Simon Gray Abstract: This paper describes the Coalition Provisional Authoritys attempts to stabilize and reform Iraqs economy along market lines. It argues that while security concerns remain serious Iraqs economy has not been crippled by violence. However sustained economic growth will depend on whether Iraqs future leaders pursue the pro-market approaches the Coalition has advocated. If the Iraqi economy is to reach its potential it will need to go even farther than the Coalition did implementing reforms the Coalition did not pursue because of security concerns. __________________________________________ __________________________________________ __ Christopher Foote is a Senior Economist Federal Reserve Bank of Boston Boston Massachusetts.
