For the first time in 30 years Iraqi economy statistics and data will be published in a periodic bulletin released by the World Bank, an Iraqi central bank statement said on Tuesday.

Statistics on Iraqi economy will be published in a periodic bulletin issued by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) as of early March 2008, according to the statement that was received by Aswat al-Iraq, Voices of Iraq, (VOI).

"For the first time since 1977 Iraq has reached an advanced level of progress with regards to the proliferation of macroeconomics information, after it had blocked the international community's access to useful data for over 30 years," read the statement.

"The publication of these data opens the door to a new era of integration into the international community and ranks Iraq high on international development assessment and transparency…," it added.
