Standard & Poor's Ratings said on Saturday it was Iraq's "B- / B" rating with a stable outlook.
"The stable outlook reflects expectations that the fiscal deficit will be modest over the next few years," the agency said in a report.
It said it expected the prospects for Iraq's economic growth to be under pressure from domestic political tensions, production quotas imposed by OPEC and restrictions on government spending.
The agency said it expected Iraq's GDP to grow 1.9 percent in 2018 in line with production cuts in 2017-2018 before rising 2.5 percent in 2019 as oil production recovers.
