[Iraq] is sitting on more than $100 billion dollars in reserves and assets along with massive long-term economic ambitions. Among them is the ambitious development road project… This project alone has the potential to reshape trade routes across the Middle East. Iraq is also positioned to benefit from a multi-billion dollar tourism sector…The economic upside is enormous.
Stability is the key that unlocks that door. Iraqi leadership knows that damaging relations with Western financial systems could slow investment, reduce access to global banking networks and complicate trade partnerships…The stakes are high. : Sandy Ingram
