Iraq has been blessed with abundant economic and human resources. It has the second highest proven oil reserves in the world at around 112 billion barrels, after Saudi Arabia with 262 billion barrels. However, despite its wealth, Iraq has experienced continuous economic deterioration since 1980 and has become one of the region's least developed economies. A country that could have been a model of development for the Arab world turned out to be a devastated case of economic decline, mismanagement and massive corruption (Azzam, 2003).
Description
