Can you believe that Iraq, despite all its hurdles, might be the "rockstar" of the Arab economy in just two years? It's not wishful thinking; it's an official projection dropped by the World Bank, forecasting a massive 6.7% growth in 2026. Imagine the scale of this turnaround! MN Iraq News tells us this optimism isn't out of thin air. It’s the payoff of an energy sector rebound, massive infrastructure injections, and a noticeable awakening in agriculture and real estate. Have we finally started true recovery and broken the curse of total oil dependency? The numbers say: Yes, we are on our way.
