Analysis ECONOMIC POLICIES IN IRAQ: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES Dr. Basim Abd Al- Hade Hassan July 2020 Iraq is undergoing perhaps its most serious financial, health, and political crisis of the last two decades. However, the greatest challenge is financial, with revenues decreasing as a result of the shock of falling demand for oil as a result of the Coronavirus crisis. This study attempts to answer this question: What is the expected magnitude of the financial crisis in Iraq? What solutions and economic policies can alleviate this crisis, especially in light of the many other challenges, including a new government, an unstable political environment, and the health challenge of combatting the Coronavirus? To study the issue, an analytical descriptive method was used, relying on relevant data and indicators in an attempt to deconstruct the problem and develop appropriate solutions for overcoming the complex crisis this year. 1
