| Iraqi VP calls for wise economic policy amid woes |
|
 Iraq's Sunni vice president appealed Sunday for a "suitable recipe" to help transform his country's "unbalanced" economy, joining other government officials in sounding the alarm over the nation's finances.
Tariq al-Hashemi said a number of crises — "some inherited from the previous regime and others as a result to the 2003 invasion" — are hurting the country's chances for economic development as it emerges from years of war.
Al-Hashemi blamed Iraq's oil-dependent economy and reliance on imports on decades of war and poor economic policies in addition to political instability, violence and corruption that have left sectors such as agriculture idled.
