More about Iraq

• ACEINLAND: Modern history of Iraq from World War I to today, covering all major events on politics, economy, society, and technology.

Business

Three wars and the uprisings of militant Islamists (Islamic State) have severely damaged the infrastructure and the entire economy of Iraq. With a gross national income (GNI) of (2017) US $ 4,770 per resident, Iraq is now one of the developing countries with high incomes. However, this status is based unilaterally on revenues from the oil sector.

Due to rich oil deposits, Iraq’s economy had experienced a great boom until 1980 and recorded very high growth rates. The economic structure, which up until then had been heavily influenced by agriculture, changed completely. The war against Iran (1980-88) and the 2nd Gulf War (1991) triggered by the attack on Kuwait, as well as the subsequent international economic embargo, damaged all areas of the economy so badly that the country was thrown back to 1970 levels. Through the 3rd Gulf War (2003) the economy of the economically largely isolated country continued to suffer considerable damage. After the lifting of the UN embargo and the gradual improvement in the security situation from 2007, economic growth in Iraq slowly picked up again. The prerequisite for the upswing was, among other things. the comprehensive debt relief that the creditor states of the »Paris Club« granted Iraq in 2004. In addition, the country was granted an extensive reconstruction program by the USA and substantial development aid payments were made. The fall in the oil price as a result of the global economic crisis hit Iraq hard. The conquests of the radical Islamic forces from 2014 onwards again led to a collapse in economic development. The increase in the gross domestic product (GDP) fell from (2012) 10.3% to (2014) –2.7%; for 2017 it is estimated at –3.1%. The number of unemployed is high; According to official information, it is around 16%. However, because of the extremely low employment rate and the high level of underemployment, their number is estimated at at least 50%. Much of the population is completely impoverished. Check fashionissupreme to see Asia Morphological Features.

Foreign trade: Foreign trade was severely restricted during the time of the embargo and almost came to a standstill in 2003. With a consolidation of conditions and the resumption of oil production, imports rose to US $ 56.7 billion (2013) (only US $ 43.3 billion in 2016) until the uprisings of the Islamic State, while exports rose to 89.7 billion US- $ (2016 only 44.7 billion US- $). The almost exclusive export good (over 99%) is crude oil, while capital goods (machines and transport equipment), finished products, fuels, chemical products and foodstuffs are imported. The main supplier countries are Turkey, Syria and China, the main customers India, China and South Korea.

Agriculture

Only around 4% of the workforce is employed in agriculture; they generate 4.6% of GDP. Thanks to the fertile soils and the adequate supply of water through the Euphrates and Tigris, the country’s agricultural potential is very high. Agriculture has suffered greatly as a result of the wars and the trade embargo. Cultivated areas and yields fell sharply due to destroyed irrigation systems and a lack of means of production (fertilizers, machines, seeds). Only about half of the agricultural area is used. The main crops are wheat, barley, tomatoes, cucumbers, dates and vegetables. The cultivation of rice is also of great importance for the water-rich areas in Lower Iraq.

Fisheries: Traditionally, fishing has played an important role in the Euphrates and Tigris, while fishing in the Persian Gulf is only gradually gaining in importance. The total catch (2012) is 67,900 t (mainly freshwater fish).

Natural resources

The oil sector is a key factor in rebuilding the economy. With (2016) 20.6 billion t of secured oil reserves, Iraq ranks 5th worldwide. The largest deposits are located along the border with Iran, southwest of Basra. Oil production and processing are carried out by the state-run Iraq National Oil Company (INOC), founded in 1964. At the end of June 2009, the Iraqi government granted foreign companies a license to develop oil reserves for the first time since the nationalization of the oil industry in 1972. Production volumes and revenues were subject to dramatic fluctuations due to fluctuations in the oil price and as a result of the wars. In 2016 the production amounted to 218.9 million t. Petroleum and petroleum products provide practically 100% of Iraq’s export revenue. Apart from oil, the mining of natural resources is not of great importance. Sea salt, phosphate, gypsum and sulfur are extracted. There are proven deposits of copper, iron and uranium ore.
