Iraq is a major oil-producing nation in the Middle East and a significant market for reconstruction-related imports including machinery, construction materials, and consumer goods. The US lifted most comprehensive sanctions on Iraq following the 2003 invasion, though targeted sanctions remain against specific individuals and entities. Iraq's economy is heavily dependent on petroleum exports, which account for the vast majority of government revenue and foreign exchange earnings.
