IRAQI Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al Sudani yesterday announced investment opportunities valued at $450 billion across different sectors, reports the Gulf Times.
His announcement came as he addressed the opening of the two-day Iraq Investment Forum in Baghdad.
The Iraqi Prime Minister said that Iraq has recorded higher indicators of integration into the global economy, with the expansion of electronic payment systems and financial sector governance, adding that a dedicated conference will be held to present investment opportunities within the Development Road Project, the largest of its kind in the region.
Total investments have surpassed $100bn, confirming the soundness of the decisions to diversify Iraq’s investment environment, Al Sudani said, pointing out that they launched the ‘Riyada’ initiative, engaging over 500,000 young men and women, training 92,000 of them, which has resulted in 12,000 new projects funded through loans and 20,000 job opportunities.
