Shafaq News/ Iraq ranked ninth among Arab countries in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita for 2025, according to data released by Country Cassette, a platform that monitors international economic indicators.
GDP per capita is calculated by dividing a country's total economic output by its population, providing a measure of average income and economic productivity per individual.
