The ongoing regional war is beginning to paralyze key sectors of the economy, especially in the Kurdistan Region.

Oil fields have been shut down, energy production has dropped significantly, and foreign companies are suspending operations due to security risks.

Markets that once thrived — including cars, real estate, and trade — are now seeing activity decline by as much as 85 percent.

Citizens are shifting their priorities, focusing only on essential needs like food, fuel, and medicine, while avoiding major purchases due to uncertainty and fear.

The result is a powerful combination:
📉 Rising prices
⚡ Energy disruptions
💰 Declining investment
⚠️ Economic paralysis
