But he also is warning that enduring bureaucratic culture of fear threatens to stand in the way. Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar Ismail spoke to The Associated Press on Friday. He said that Iraq is currently trading oil at $68 per barrel, close to the approximately $76 needed for the state to operate without reliance on the central bank to meet government expenditures.
