Iraqi govt to attend IMF meeting

[Barrett808]

DUBAI - A delegation from the US-backed interim Iraqi government will attend as "special invitees" the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, an IMF spokesman says.
"They have requested to attend the meeting, they will come as special invitees," said spokesman William Murray.

World Bank Vice President for Human Development Jean Louis Sarbib said the Iraqi delegation would hold meetings at the "highest level" with the bank and the IMF to discuss the country's reconstruction needs.

Three officials from the Iraqi interim government are to attend the September 23-24 meeting: Finance Minister Kamel al-Kilani, Planning Minister Mahdi al-Hafez and central bank governor Sinan al-Shebibi.

A representative of the US-led coalition, which retains ultimate responsibility in ruling Iraq, will also come to the meeting in the United Arab Emirates’ city of Dubai.
