Iran war squeezes Iraq's economy as oil revenues fall and prices rise
Original: Iran war squeezes Iraq’s economy as oil revenues fall and prices rise
Iraq's economy is coming under strain from the war involving Iran, with falling oil revenues hitting state finances while consumer prices rise. Iraq depends heavily on oil exports for government spending, making it vulnerable to regional conflict and disrupted trade routes. Observers warn the squeeze could deepen hardship for ordinary Iraqis if the conflict continues and energy markets remain volatile.
Why now: The regional conflict is directly affecting Iraq's oil-dependent economy, raising concerns about revenues, inflation and living costs.
