Economic experts have highlighted that Iraq possesses the fundamentals of an attractive investment environment due to its natural resources and strategic geographical location. However, significant challenges continue to hinder the influx of foreign and local investors. Specialists pointed out that

outdated banking infrastructure and corruption are among the primary obstacles. They emphasized the necessity of enacting legislation to foster trust and reduce complications faced by businesses. Correcting the investment trajectory would bolster Iraq's position as a leading regional investment destination,

contributing to job creation, reducing reliance on oil revenues, and transitioning towards a diversified and sustainable economy.
