Iraq imported $285 million worth of Chinese goods in April 2026, downfrom $1.7 billion in the same month last year, the Iraq Future Foundation forEconomic Studies and Consultations reported on Thursday.
According to Manar al-Obaidi, head of the Foundation, the decline marksa notable shift following a period of strong expansion in bilateral trade.
Figures from China’s General Administration of Customs previously showedthat Chinese exports to Iraq exceeded $17 billion in 2025, marking a 57%increase compared with 2020, when total exports stood at around $10 billion.
