Understand the numbers
What Iraq's economic profile is telling you
Iraq's economy contracted by 2.2 percent in 2025 in the latest World Bank series. Inflation was low at 0.3 percent, but modeled unemployment remained high at 15.5 percent. The WTO profile exposes merchandise years that are not suitable for a current matched balance, so trade is left unavailable.
Reading the macro data
Nominal GDP measures current-dollar size. Real growth, inflation and unemployment describe different economic conditions.
Reading the trade data
Merchandise trade covers goods. A balance appears only when exports and imports have a verified matching year and currency basis.
