Growth rates for Iraq are based on survey means of 2005 PPP$. The coverage and
quality of the 2011 PPP price data for Iraq and most other North African and Middle
Eastern countries were hindered by the exceptional period of instability they faced
at the time of the 2011 exercise of the International Comparison Program. See
PovcalNet for detailed explanations. </p><h3 style="font-size: 15px;margin: 20px 0

aggregates (consumption or income) for the chosen years T0 and T1 is assessed for
every country. If comparability across the two surveys is a major concern for a
country, the selection criteria are re-applied to select the next best survey
year(s). Annualized growth rates are calculated between the survey years, using a
compound growth formula. The survey years defining the period for which growth
rates are calculated and the type of welfare aggregate used to calculate the growth
rates are noted in the footnotes. </p><h3 style="font-size: 15px;margin: 20px 0 0;

style="margin-top: 5px;font-size: 15px;font:13px/1.231 sans-serif;">The growth rate
in the welfare aggregate of the total population is computed as the annualized
average growth rate in per capita real consumption or income of the total
population in the income distribution in a country from household surveys over a
roughly 5-year period. Mean per capita real consumption or income is measured at
2011 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) using the PovcalNet
(http://iresearch.worldbank.org/PovcalNet). For some countries means are not
reported due to grouped and/or confidential data. The annualized growth rate is
computed as (Mean in final year/Mean in initial year)^(1/(Final year - Initial
year)) - 1. The reference year is the year in which the underlying household
survey data was collected. In cases for which the data collection period bridged
two calendar years, the first year in which data were collected is reported. The
initial year refers to the nearest survey collected 5 years before the most recent
survey available, only surveys collected between 3 and 7 years before the most
recent survey are considered. The final year refers to the most recent survey
available between 2011 and 2015.

income for a country is made according to which welfare aggregate is used to
estimate extreme poverty in PovcalNet. The practice adopted by the World Bank for
estimating global and regional poverty is, in principle, to use per capita
consumption expenditure as the welfare measure wherever available; and to use
income as the welfare measure for countries for which consumption is unavailable.
However, in some cases data on consumption may be available but are outdated or not
shared with the World Bank for recent survey years. In these cases, if data on
income are available, income is used. Whether data are for consumption or income
per capita is noted in the footnotes. Because household surveys are infrequent in
most countries and are not aligned across countries, comparisons across countries
or over time should be made with a high degree of caution. </p><h3 style="font-
