Positioned at the crossroads of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, Iraq is emerging as a compelling destination for international investment. With a rich resource base, a youthful population, and a commitment to economic reform, Iraq offers unparalleled opportunities across various sectors.
Iraq's geographic location provides direct access to major regional markets. The ambitious $17 billion Development Road project aims to connect the Grand Faw Port in the south to Turkey's border, facilitating trade between Asia and Europe. This initiative is expected to generate $4 billion annually and create over 100,000 jobs, solidifying Iraq's role as a regional trade hub.
Recent economic reforms have significantly improved Iraq's investment landscape. In 2025, Iraq attracted an unprecedented $24 billion in foreign direct investment, more than doubling its previous record. The government's efforts to modernize the banking system and stabilize the market have been pivotal in this progress.
Iraq is leveraging its vast energy resources to drive economic growth. Notably, a $27 billion agreement with TotalEnergies focuses on enhancing oil production, gas collection, and renewable energy projects, including a 1GW solar park. Additionally, a $25 billion deal with BP aims to redevelop major oil and gas fields in Kirkuk, potentially producing over three billion barrels of oil and gas.
The Iraqi government plans to invest $150 billion in infrastructure projects by 2025, encompassing transportation, housing, and industrial sectors. These developments are designed to stimulate economic growth and provide ample opportunities for international investors.
Iraq is actively pursuing sustainable development goals. The establishment of the Carbon Economy Company and hosting of the International Conference on Carbon Economics underscore the country's dedication to reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy.
Beyond the energy sector, Iraq offers investment prospects in agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and technology. The government's focus on diversifying the economy presents a range of opportunities for investors seeking growth in emerging markets.
