Analysis# Iraq Share of World GDP
Iraq currently accounts for 0.337% of global GDP in 2026, representing a modest recovery from its recent low point. The country's economic share peaked at 0.37% in 2018, while its all-time low of 0.173% occurred in 2003, reflecting the devastating impact of conflict and reconstruction challenges. Since 2000, Iraq's share has grown 5.6%, demonstrating gradual economic rehabilitation over two decades despite significant volatility.
The period from 2017 to 2018 marked Iraq's strongest performance, driven by oil price recovery and stabilization efforts following the defeat of ISIS. However, subsequent years reveal pronounced fluctuations, with notable declines in 2020 and 2024 corresponding to global economic pressures and oil market dynamics. Current projections suggest Iraq's share will stabilize around 0.33–0.34% through the near term, indicating the economy remains vulnerable to external commodity price shocks rather than experiencing sustained structural growth.
