Iraq — Market Overview
🇮🇶 Iraq
Iraq is best read through crude revenues and public-sector transmission because fiscal spending, infrastructure activity, and the confidence backdrop still depend heavily on the oil cycle and on domestic stability. The cleanest read usually comes from oil receipts, government spending throughput, and whether banks and telecom-linked listed names can grow through a still-fragile operating backdrop.

Handel und Außenposition
Exporte, Dienstleistungen und Außenbilanz
Statt einer generischen Wand aus Makro-Karten konzentriert sich dieser Abschnitt darauf, wie das Land Nachfrage aus dem Ausland gewinnt, wo sein Handelsvorteil liegt und wie sich die Außenbilanz entwickelt.
The full export figure, combining goods and services in one line. It is the cleanest way to read how much external demand Iraq is capturing across both physical products and higher-value intangible flows.
This is the merchandise side of exports: industrial supplies, capital goods, autos, food, and other physical products. It matters because it reflects the health of manufacturing, energy, aerospace, and the broader global industrial cycle.
This is the intangible side: finance, travel, licensing, business services, and IP-linked flows. It matters because it shows where Iraq is strongest in higher-margin, knowledge-intensive, and branded service activities.

Worauf man achten sollte
Leserahmen
oil revenues
Iraq should first be read through oil revenues. When this regime shifts, local multiples and sector leadership usually shift with it.
public spending
The cleanest read usually comes from oil receipts, government spending throughput, and whether banks and telecom-linked listed names can grow through a still-fragile operating backdrop. That makes public spending one of the most important signals for revising the country narrative.
domestic stability
The final layer is domestic stability, because it determines whether the macro backdrop turns into sustainable earnings support for the ISX60.

Real GDP growth
Was das signalisiert
GDP growth is published quarterly and annualized, so each point captures how fast real output was expanding or contracting versus the prior quarter at an annual rate. It matters because it is the broadest scorecard of domestic economic momentum and sets the backdrop for revenues, employment, and policy expectations. Versus a year ago, the series is lower by 3.2%, which points to a softer or less supportive backdrop on this measure. Across the displayed window, the broader trend is still downward.
