Economy


Iraq's economy is overwhelmingly dominated by oil, which accounts for over 90% of government revenue. While high oil prices can boost the budget, this dependence makes the economy vulnerable to global market fluctuations. Diversification efforts are nascent, focusing on sectors like agriculture, tourism, and industry, but these are hampered by corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and a challenging business environment. Unemployment, especially among youth, remains high.
