The information is organised by general geographical districts in the north middle and south of the country and assessing the prices of products on markets in Baghdad the capital of Iraq separately as its own densely populated district. The present work was published as a supplement to the original bulletin on prices for the first half of 1970 in an effort to bridge the gap in data supply as the Index numbers & Prices department tried to change the publishing frequency from once or twice a year to quarterly and eventually to monthly statements on the changing prices.

Iraq experienced considerable economic development during the second half of the 20th century. By 1980 its complex central state-planned economy had become the second largest economy in the Arab world after Saudi Arabia. To achieve such development people had to keep a close eye on changing wholesale and retail prices in order to keep changes in inflation and purchasing power in check.Wrapper worn and stained with a blue stamp on the wrapper with the title in Arabic front or back wrapper some staining to the first 4-5 leaves at both English and Arabic ends of the work otherwise internally good and clean.

Haqiqat al-Kuwait. The truth about Kuwait 2.

1961rif. ABC_47301Baghdad: Wizarat al-Kharijiyah = Ministry of Foreign Affairs 1961. Original printed wrappers stapled. 8vo. Arabic text. First edition of the second of two rare pamphlets published by the Iraqi government opposing the independence of Kuwait. The first pamphlet published in English and Arabic outlined Kuwait's historical connection to Iraq and analysed its "imperialist relations" with Britain. This second one in Arabic throughout prints the minutes of the Political Affairs Committee of the Arab League which met in Cairo on 20 July 1961 to consider Kuwait's request to join the League.Kuwait emerged as an independent state in June 1961 after sixty-two years as a British protectorate. With a new constitution it held its first parliamentary elections in 1963 thereby becoming the first Arab state in the Gulf to establish a parliament. Such political developments married with growing wealth and modernisations in health culture and finance helped to make Kuwait the most prosperous state in the Arabian Peninsula.The Iraqi government argued that the move toward independence was a continuation of Kuwait's relationship with Britain albeit under a new guise. Furthermore they felt that the historical links between Iraq and Kuwait entitled the former to control over the latter and one suspects a share of its growing wealth. This position partly detailed in the pamphlet led to a point of crisis with Iraq threatening invasion. To the relief of Kuwait the Iraqis were eventually deterred by the Arab League's promise of military opposition.The wrappers are a little dusty two thick black lines on the front wrapper seemingly erasing a stamp another stamp partially visible on the back wrapper most likely a bookseller's name and address "Baghdad" is legible. Internally clean and bright. Overall in very good condition.l Jisc LibraryHub 1 copy BL; WorldCat 219629380 3 copies. Wizarat al-Kharijiyah [= Ministry of Foreign Affairs], unknown
