Iraq has fallen two place in this year's Legatum Institute Prosperity Index, ranking in 140th place out of the 166 countries measured.

The Index consists of 12 pillars of prosperity, split into 67 discrete policy-focussed elements, and is underpinned by 299 indicators.

Denmark, Sweden and Norway took the top three positions.

The least prosperous country is listed as Yemen, followed by the Central African Republic and Afghanistan.
