Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) (Highlights: July 2006 Quarterly and Semiannual Report)
Abstract
During this quarter, the U.S. reconstruction effort in Iraq achieved some important milestones: production of electricity and oil climbed above pre-war levels for the first time in over a year, with electricity output exceeding 5,000 megawatts and oil production reaching 2.5 million barrels per day. The watershed event of this year, however, occurred in May, when the first permanent, democratically-elected government of Iraq took office. Iraq's new unity government now faces many daunting tasks, including improving security, sustaining the infrastructure, and fighting corruption.
