Iraq is attracting increasing numbers of foreign investors in 2022. At MSELECT, we have seen first hand many clients return to the country recently as well speak with many others that are planning on doing so. With plenty of good news coming out of Iraq concerning political and social stability and economic growth, international organisations are keen to take advantage.
This brief article looks at why doing business in Iraq in 2022 is easier and filled with growth opportunity, as well as how MSELECT helps international organisations to reach their full business potential.
Why are more companies doing business in Iraq in 2022?
Many types of organisation are either returning to the country or investing in the Iraqi market to do business for the first time. They include NGOs, oil and gas corporations, and companies from the tech, industrial and manufacturing sectors. At MSELECT we are receiving a high number of consultancy queries to do with outsourced services and staffing.
Iraq’s economy is predicted to grow this year. The price of oil has risen and is expected to increase further in coming years. Iraq’s oil output is at record capacity and as nearly the entire Iraqi budget is reliant on its oil revenues, these developments come as a welcome boost. The return to near capacity production levels and the upswing in the price of oil have helped stabilise the economy and attract the attention of foreign investors.
