Ebrahim Al-Baghdadi, Chairman of the Iraqi Economic Council, announced that more than 160 investment opportunities will be presented during the Iraq Investment Forum, which officially opened yesterday.

Speaking at the event, Al-Baghdadi said the forum reflects the significant transformations Iraq has undergone in recent years. “This forum is the result of the profound changes the country has witnessed. Although it was postponed twice due to regional and international circumstances, it has now been successfully convened thanks to the efforts of participants and the support of the Iraqi government,” he stated.

According to Al-Baghdadi, the forum will feature over 160 opportunities across 20 specialized workshops organized by ministries and investment agencies. The event will also include 14 sessions involving various ministries and government bodies, in addition to B2B meetings between Iraqi, Arab, and international businesspeople, and B2G meetings between investors and government officials.

He emphasized that investment opportunities will be presented in detail through the workshops, not just general sessions, to allow investors to engage directly with representatives, ask specific questions, and obtain clear information about each project’s location and scope.

Highlighting recent economic progress, Al-Baghdadi noted that “over the past three years, significant achievements have been made across economic, financial, and service sectors, as well as in private investment and large- and medium-scale strategic state projects.”

He added that Iraq is entering a phase of continuous development. “Every week, we are seeing the launch of new projects—whether laying foundation stones for factories or inaugurating completed ventures across various sectors—driven by strong government commitment and focus.”
