Resumen
Descripción
The Syrian civil war, which began in
2011 and the ISIS (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria)
insurgency which accelerated in June 2014 led to this
report. These events caused tens of thousands to flee and
many chose the relative safety of the Kurdistan Region of
Iraq (KRI). They came as refugees from Syria and as Iraqi
internally displaced persons (IDPs). This happened during
a fiscal crisis which led to a 90% drop in fiscal transfers
from the central government in Baghdad starting in early
2014. This quick note summarizes a report with the same
title on the impact and stabilization costs of the influx of
refugees and IDPs. Impact refers to the immediate economic
and fiscal effects on the KRI economy and budget.
Stabilization cost refers to the additional spending needed
to restore the welfare of KRI residents.
