IMF says engaging with Iraq on preparing new bailout program

Iraq ·

The IMF said on Thursday it is in talks with Iraqi authorities while preparing a new bailout programme, as Iraq's economy has been hit hard by the war on Iran. The US-Israeli war, launched in late February, led Iran's retaliation to all but block the Strait of Hormuz, a key energy supply route.

Iraq relies heavily on oil exports, and the Strait of Hormuz is the sea route through which much of the Gulf's oil is shipped.
