poverty rate will increase

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) predicts that poverty rate will increase to %31 in Iraq this year Barbara Ann Craigsman the program’s economy and social effect analyzer, spoke to Radio Sawa, saying that this prediction comes from the big effect Iraq’s financial problems have on its population, this is when according to a research done by the World Bank and UNICEF revealed that poverty rate in Iraq in the years 2017 and 2018 was less than %20. Also mentioned that the government will not have sufficient funds to spend, noted as well that the needs of the population are generally increasing, which means that more people will be below the poverty line, which further distances Iraq from the path of continuous development. In the latest report on reducing the impact of the Iraqi crisis, the United Nations Development Programme presented several suggestions, including expanding the social monitoring program and allocating more revenue to develop private sectors.
