Iraq resilience analysis
World Monitor does not publish a resilience score or rank for Iraq because it does not meet the published ranking eligibility criteria. Officially Republic of Iraq. Iraq is in the rankable universe as a UN member. Ranked comparisons use the Middle East and North Africa peers rather than other unpublished pages. The snapshot records Iraq as IQ.
Why Iraq is unpublished
Iraq's coverage is 69%, which meets the 65% floor, but a published rank also needs a recorded population of at least 200,000 or coverage of at least 85%. Strongest observed coverage is Border security at 100%, Cyber and digital capacity at 100%, and Education capacity at 100%.
Source inventory gaps
Macro-fiscal position and Fiscal space have no usable observed series. Those slots depend on IMF, which does not contribute observed series for those dimensions. Fiscal space is tagged unmonitored because the source does not cover Iraq.
What the snapshot does cover
Observed evidence is present for Border security (100%), Cyber and digital capacity (100%), Education capacity (100%), External-debt coverage (100%), Governance and institutions (100%), and Health and public services (100%). Input coverage is 69% and imputation share is 8%.
Dimension evidence inventory
Showing 11 of 21 active dimensions, weakest evidence first; 10 more at full coverage.
Currency and external balance is observed but below the 50% coverage a supported reading needs, so it is recorded here without counting as supported readings.
