Average income in Iraq fell from $3,600 per person in 1980 to between $770 and $1,020 by 2001 and will be just $450-610 by the end of 2003, the UN and World Bank said.
The biggest problem facing the Iraqi economy is mass unemployment, with an estimated 50% of the population either unemployed or under-employed.
The median income in Iraq was equivalent to about $255 (366,000 dinars) in 2003 and decreased in the first half of 2004 to about $144 (207,000 dinars).
According to the survey, 98 percent of Iraqi households are connected to the national electricity grid, but only 15 percent find the supply stable.
As for water availability, the figures were 78 percent (had water) and 66 percent (had problems).
