WED's combined-government scope requires source metadata. This series expresses that measure as a percentage of GDP for the matching period.

The latest combined government deficit reading for Iraq was −6.41% of GDP in 2025. The previous reading was −3.45% of GDP in 2024; the period change was −2.95 percentage points.
