Abstract:

Latest IEA data show that Iraqi oil output was 4.3m b/d in July, in line with its average so far this year. OPEC is under pressure to freeze or even curb output to support oil prices, and Iraqi production is seen broadly stable over the remainder of 2016, though this will still leave it up 7.5% on average after a 20% surge in 2015. Further small rises are possible in the next few years. But weak non-oil activity, undermined by the impact of low oil prices on government spending and investment as well as the drain on resources from containing the IS insurgency, means that GDP growth is slow. We have raised our growth forecast this year to 4% due to high oil sector investment, but political uncertainty, modest rises in oil output and a very slow pick-up in oil prices will see growth of only 3-3.5% a year in 2017-19.
