Iraq is presently on a fast-track to become one of the most attractive investment opportunities of this decade. Iraq is an oil-rich democracy with a new modern institutional structure and a sound business
environment. Iraq is now fundamentally stable because the government reflects a healthy cross-section of Iraqi society. The creation of the country’s new structure, including its constitution and investment laws, was greatly influenced by objectives to create a model democracy in the Middle East. Iraq’s oil economy resembles Saudi Arabia in the 1960s. Like Saudi Arabia, Iraq is poised to benefit from the imminent rise in the price of oil. Investing in Iraq will be a hedge to rising oil prices.
