According to the World Bank, Iraq's largely state-run economy is dominated by the oil sector, which provides more than 90% of government revenue and 80% of foreign exchange earnings and is a major determinant of the economy's fortunes. Traditionally, most of Iraq's manufacturing activity has been closely connected to the oil industry. The major industries in that category have been petroleum refining and the manufacturing of chemicals and fertilizers. Industry represents 40,6% of the total GDP (with 18,7% of the workforce), whereas services sector accounts for 54,6% (with 59,8% of the workforce). Agriculture comes last with 4,8% of the GDP and 21,6% of the workforce.
