Growth targets

Mr Abdul-Mahdi, one of two Iraqi vice-presidents, vowed to adopt
legislation to share oil wealth among the regions and a scheme to
give amnesty to militants who renounced violence.

The plan projects economic growth of 15.4% in 2007, compared to
3% last year. It also targets 3.5m barrels a day of crude oil by 2011
- doubling the annual crude export revenue to about $50bn.
