Scope

    --  Iraqi military expenditure values US$6.7 billion in 2019 and registered
        a CAGR of -5.26% during 2015-2019. The decline in the defense budget
        during the historic period is primarily due to the country's heavy
        reliance on oil and gas revenues to fund its expansive defense
        modernization programs. Therefore, the severe erosion of global oil and
        gas prices during 2016-2017 adversely impacted the country's defense
        spending capability and forced it to cut back on its defense spending.
        Iraq is expected to allocate an average of 3.0% of its GDP to defense
        expenditure over the forecast period, despite its relatively small
        economy.
    --  Expenditure is anticipated to focus more on the procurement of
        equipment, to augment air defense capabilities and enhance the
        operational capabilities of the current fleet of naval vessels, and
        better communication and surveillance systems. Cumulative expenditure on
        the procurement of advanced military hardware is projected to stand at
        US$12.2 billion over the next five years - Key areas of procurement
        include fighter aircraft, attack helicopters, tanks, tactical trucks,
        missiles, radars, air defense system, communication systems, and UAVs.
