Description

We've upgraded our 2026 GDP growth forecast for Iraq by 0.9ppts to 3.3%, primarily reflecting base effects from the weaker-than-expected growth in 2025. Increased oil output following the easing of compensation-related production cut requirements also underpin the upward revision. Nonetheless, an ongoing political deadlock and mounting liquidity pressures pose significant downside risks to Iraq's economic outlook.
