Paying for Iraq's Reconstruction

Abstract

Rebuilding Iraq after 25 years of rule by Saddam Hussein and the war that overthrew his government will be one of the United States foreign policy priorities in the coming years. By some estimates, the cost of reconstructing Iraq ranges from $50 billion to $100 billion. However, substantial disagreement exists about that cost, as well as about how much aid from the international community may be needed to rebuild the country, whether that aid should take the form of grants or loans, how much the United States should contribute, and how much Iraq can finance itself from its future sources of revenue.
