This systematic country diagnostic for
Iraq identifies the three characteristics that underlie
Iraq’s predicaments: its poor governance, dependence on oil
wealth, and ethnic and regional diversity. It posits that
the combination of oil wealth and ethnic and religious
fragmentation has led to conflict, violence, and fragility
due to long-standing governance problems and the inability
of institutions to ensure an equitable allocation of
resources among the country’s population and regions.
Systematic country diagnostic reports are a product of the
World Bank Group and reflect consultations with the national
authorities, civil society, the private sector, and other
stakeholders. The report is organized as follows: section
one gives introduction. Section two lays out the country
context of Iraq and discusses the three characteristics
noted above (poor governance, dependence on oil wealth, and
ethnic and regional diversity) that have led to Iraq’s
fragility, conflict, and violence. Section three discusses
the main features of poverty and exclusion in Iraq, while
section four presents the key challenges facing the country
and their relation to the three identified characteristics.
Section five discusses social, economic, and environmental
sustainability, and section six concludes with a
prioritization of these constraints in the context of
tensions or tradeoffs that are inherent to Iraq’s social and
economic realities. |
