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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESADEQUATE SHELTERAIRAIR POLLUTIONARREARSCAPITAL STOCKSCENTRAL GOVERNMENTSCIVIL WARCLASSROOMCONSTRUCTION SECTORCURRENT POPULATIONDEBTDIESELDISASTERSECONOMIC GROWTHEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSEXPENDITURESFEDERAL BUDGETFISCAL DEFICITSFOOD INSECURITYFOOD SECURITYFOOD SUPPLIESFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFUELFUEL PRICESGASOLINEGASOLINE PRICESGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESHEALTH IMPACTHEALTH SECTORHEAVY TRUCKSHOSPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN HEALTHINDOOR AIR POLLUTIONINFLUX OF REFUGEESINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL EFFORTSINTERNATIONAL RESPONSEINVESTMENT FLOWSJOB OPPORTUNITIESLABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLANGUAGE BARRIERSLOCAL ECONOMYMUNICIPAL ROADNATURAL RESOURCESNUMBER OF REFUGEESNUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIESPOLICY FRAMEWORKPUBLIC FINANCESPUBLIC SERVICESREFUGEEREFUGEESROADROAD NETWORKROADSROUTEROUTESSAFETYSAFETY NETSANITARY LANDFILLSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSCHOOL RENOVATIONSEWERAGESEWERAGE SECTORSHELTER NEEDSSOCIAL AFFAIRSSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL ISSUESSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SECTORSSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSOLID WASTE PER DAYTEACHERSTECHNICAL ASSESSMENTTEXTBOOKSTOURISMTRAFFICTRANSITTRANSIT TRADETRANSPORTTRANSPORT COSTSTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRUCKSUNEMPLOYMENTVEHICLESVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWASTE DUMPINGWASTE RECYCLINGWASTEWATER TREATMENT10.1596/21628
