Iraq Economic Review

Font size:

he aim of the Iraq Economic Review (IER) is to promote robust economic policy, knowledge, and transparency in Iraq, and to shift the national policy conversation towards a long-term sustainable economic vision. Running from 2020 to 2028, the IER has established itself as an independent source of rigorous, evidence-based analysis for policymakers, activists, and journalists. It employs a three-level framework—local, national, and regional—to provide a comprehensive understanding of Iraq's economic trends, positioning the review as a primary resource for tracking major economic dynamics and regional integration. To ensure broad impact, the IER's dissemination strategy includes bi-annual publications and quarterly launch events held in Sulaimaniyah, Erbil, and Baghdad, which are also streamed online. Findings are also presented annually at IRIS's flagship policy event, the Sulaimani Forum, a high-level platform that brings together officials and civil society actors to ensure the Review's insights gain maximum visibility and influence the national policy conversation. Through these efforts, the IER extends its reach beyond the policy community to a wider public audience. The project is supported by the National Endowment for Democracy.
