Important economic indicators in Iraq
Economic relations between Jordan and Iraq have experienced a noticeable decline in the first months of 2026, after seeing significant growth over the previous two years, during which Jordanian exports to Iraq increased by approximately 55% between 2023 and 2025. However, Jordan has not yet received any quantities of Iraqi oil under the signed agreement, which weakens energy sources and raises costs for the treasury. Additionally, trade movement between the two countries shows a downturn, with total exports decreasing by 16% compared to the same period last year, and Iraqi imports from Jordan dropping by 45%. Moreover, the Jordanian industrial sector faces challenges in transporting goods through the border crossing, increasing operational burdens and threatening the continuity of Iraqi exports to Jordan. These indicators suggest a potential slowdown in the momentum of economic relations, raising questions about whether this is temporary or a shift in Iraq's economic priorities.
