Why Iraq?

    gas reserves in the world plenty of water

Why Iraq Now?
  • Devastated economy that requires more than 300B

    gets better from now on!

11
Economic Climate in IraqOpportunities
  • Vacuous! Iraq needs more than 200B to develop
    into a fully capable economy. In addition to
    infrastructure there must be new manufacturing,
    agriculture, agro-business, industry,
    transportation, housing, extensive services in
    banking and telecommunications.
  • Improving rapidly as security improves
  • Limited foreign investment to date. Opportunities
    are everywhere!

12
Economic Climate in IraqChallenges
  • Poorly developed financial markets. ISX growing,
    banks are few and limited capacity.
  • Poorly developed marketing resources
  • General lack of services
  • Security concerns in some locations
  • Corruption
  • Lack of transparency

13
Employment
  • Unemployment is estimated at between 30-50.
  • Under employment pushes the total work force even
    higher.
  • The work force is mostly literate and has a high
    aptitude for learning new skills.
  • Workers are well trained in basic technical
    skills though their technology base is dated.

14
Investment Priorities
  • IEDG sees agriculture, energy, telecommunications,
    hotels and construction material manufacturing
    as the most lucrative investments in the short
    term. In the medium term, general manufacturing
    and housing are good prospects. Long-term
    investments will be in large scale
    telecommunications and banking along with larger
    scale port expansions, maritime repairs steel
    production.
