A bank report obtained by the Euphrates News Agency, a copy of which, stated, "Iraq is now at a crossroads. After nearly two decades have passed since the 2003 war, the country is still stuck in the reality of fragility, and is facing an increasing state of political instability and escalating social unrest." And an increasingly deep gap between the state and the citizen. "
The report added, "In the midst of a number of crises (including the decline in oil prices, the Corona pandemic, and recent protests), in addition to the accumulation of the effects of weak economic policies, the absence of reforms, and the inability to address corruption, Iraq is now witnessing the worst performance of growth in annual GDP. (GPD) during the year 2020 since the fall of Saddam's regime (in 2003). "
"Lack of stability, lack of job opportunities, corruption and poor service provision remain among the most important risks surrounding the country's long-term growth," he stressed.

There are doubts about the country's current political economy, that such a path towards reform can no longer be avoided. "
