The United Kingdomâs Ambassador to Baghdad has said Iraq has the potential to become an economic force in the region, and encouraged British businesses to take advantage of the opportunities it presents.Addressing senior executives at the Iraq Britain Business Council (IBBC)âs Spring Conference in London on Wednesday, H.E. Frank Baker OBE said that to achieve this, Iraq needs to realise its vision to implement substantive economic reforms and to rebuild key infrastructure and institutions,
adding:âThis economic reform cannot take place without developing the countryâs private sector, because that in turn will help bring about stability and prosperity.âDespite all the challenges, Iraq offers one of the greatest investment opportunities in the region.âReferring to âstifling bureaucracy and corruptionâ,
the Ambassador acknowledged that it is not a market for the faint hearted, but advised British enterprises with a âbuccaneering spiritâ take on the challenge.âIraq will offer one of the biggest investment opportunities to UK companies in the first half of this century, but to do so, British business has to be prepared to manage the risks and to take chances.â
