    Iraq's Economy

    Since 2003, the Iraqi economy has slowly recovered, but no significant progress has been made since the country still faces political and security challenges. Since the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the government of Iraq has worked on improving the economy and has attempted to improve their financial stability, however, corruption has been one of the main factors in the slow recovery of a struggling economy. According to "2014 Index Of Economic Freedom" (2014), “With its economic growth highly volatile, Iraq’s ongoing economic reconstruction, though facilitated by the oil sector and foreign economic aid, has been fragile.” (para. 2). With a stronger monetary and fiscal policy, the Iraq economy would be able to increase their status in the market and more private investors could become interested on the Iraqi…

    The Economy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan

    It is evident that Jordan was unable to catch up with the levels of income per-capita it had reached in the 1980s boom, which was then severely hit in 1989 by a financial crisis. During the 1990s -which was considered a period of adjustments-, and while trying to restore some constructive economic growth, the incomes per capita were swept by the high population growth. Thus unemployment and poverty became the most critical problems to be solved.…

    Iran: Cultures and Economy

    Iran's economy is marked by statist policies and an inefficient state sector, which create major distortions throughout the system, and reliance on oil, which provides the majority of government revenues. Price controls, subsidies, and other rigidities weigh down the economy, undermining the potential for private-sector-led growth. Private sector activity is typically limited to small-scale workshops, farming, and services. Significant informal market activity flourishes and corruption is widespread. Tehran since the early 1990s has recognized the need to reduce these inefficiencies, and in December 2010 the legislature passed President Mahmud AHMADI-NEJAD's Targeted Subsidies Law (TSL) to reduce state subsidies on food and energy. This was the most extensive economic reform since the government implemented gasoline rationing in 2007. Over a five-year period the bill will phase out subsidies that previously cost Tehran $60-$100 billion annually and mostly benefited Iran's upper and middle classes. Cash payouts of $45 per person to more than 90% of Iranian households mitigated initial widespread resistance to the TSL program, though popular acceptance remains vulnerable to rising inflation. A rise in world oil prices in 2011 increased Iran's oil export revenue by roughly $28 billion over 2010, easing some of the financial impact of international sanctions. However, expansionary fiscal and monetary policies, government mismanagement, the sanctions, and a depreciating currency are fueling inflation, and GDP growth remains stagnant. Iran also continues to suffer from double-digit unemployment and underemployment. Underemployment among Iran''s educated youth has convinced many to seek jobs overseas, resulting in a significant "brain drain."…

    Middle East Unrest and Its Impact on World Trade

    Instability in the Middle East is obviously nothing new, and while turmoil in nations such as Egypt, Bahrain, Iran, Libya, Algeria, and Yemen may set back those economies, a slowdown in regional growth is unlikely to spread elsewhere. The roughly two dozen countries that make up the Middle East and North Africa region—MENA, to economists—account for only about $2.5 trillion in GDP, combined. That 's one-fifth the size of the U.S. economy and barely 3 percent of world output. But because this region is abundant with natural resources without which life today is unimaginable- the Middle east unrest does concern everyone out there and especially parties related to trade.…

    The Country Of Jordan

    With a very inadequate supply of water and oil, Jordan 's economy is obviously suffering, and the Persian Gulf crisis in August of 1990 only added fuel to the fire. During the crisis, many refugees flooded the country, which ultimately ended up straining major government resources. Even with the government struggling to provide support for its people, the poverty line in Jordan draws somewhere in the range of 30%, which is not that bad considering the factors mentioned above. The labor force in Jordan is also surprisingly strong with 1.15 million people. The major…
