Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) – Iraq is set to host a major investment forum in Baghdad, bringing together local and international investors to showcase promising opportunities in the country’s key sectors. The event is a central part of the government’s strategy to attract capital, create jobs, and achieve sustainable economic development.
According to Ruqayya Al-Nouri, a member of the Parliamentary Investment and Trade Committee, recent amendments to Iraq’s investment law have created a secure and favorable environment for investors. These legal reforms provide a range of guarantees, including the freedom to transfer capital and profits, and the right to own land. The forum is a key opportunity to highlight these changes and foster partnerships.
The investment forum is scheduled to be held on September 27-28 at the Al-Rasheed Hotel in Baghdad. The event will feature wide participation from local and foreign investors, with a focus on opportunities in energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and technology. According to Muzhar Mohammed Salih, the Prime Minister’s financial advisor, this forum is an important step toward diversifying the economy and reducing Iraq’s reliance on oil.
The government, under the direct supervision of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani, is working to streamline bureaucratic procedures and offer new incentives to investors. The forum will serve as a critical platform to present a real and transparent picture of the investment environment and to build a strong bridge of trust between the state and the private sector.
