Iraq is aiming to attract $250 billion in investments by 2027, following a strong inflow of $100 billion secured in the past two years, according to the National Investment Commission (NIC). The country is pushing forward with comprehensive reforms to enhance investor confidence and fuel long-term growth.
Investment Momentum and Strategic Initiatives
The NIC confirmed that the recent success in attracting $100 billion in capital was largely supported by government-backed reforms, legislative changes, and regulatory improvements. These measures were introduced to create a more transparent and business-friendly environment for both Arab and foreign investors.
Hanan Jassim, spokesperson for the NIC, said that joining international agreements aimed at protecting and encouraging investments has played a vital role in attracting foreign interest. “These agreements provide a secure framework for investors, reinforcing Iraq’s commitment to global standards,” she noted.
Over 100 Strategic Opportunities
To further boost investor engagement, the NIC has prepared an integrated investment map showcasing more than 100 strategic opportunities across multiple sectors. These include infrastructure, energy, manufacturing, and agriculture, positioning Iraq as an attractive regional hub for diversified investment.
The commission emphasised that these initiatives aim to drive economic diversification, achieve sustainable growth, and position Iraq competitively on the regional and global investment stage.
