Iraq has secured more than $102 billion in investments over the past three years, showing that confidence in the country is clearly growing, according to a 2025 review released by the National Investment Commission, or NIC.
The commission said that in 2025 alone, it handled over 850 investment requests across major sectors like energy, housing, healthcare, education, transport, and services. During the year, around 40 investment licenses were either issued or updated.
Many of these projects are large and strategic. They include power plants, smart electricity collection systems in Baghdad and other provinces, housing projects, shopping and business centers, airports, and a wide range of service-related developments.
On the contracts side, the NIC highlighted the signing of the Basra (2) project with DECO Global Holding Company. It also pointed to a major residential and hotel project signed with Al-Ramla Real Estate Investment and Development Company.
In addition, the commission signed a memorandum of understanding with the US-based company Mapitex-Veritas, along with Al-Aber for Infrastructure Services and Investments, to support future infrastructure projects.
The NIC also confirmed that it completed the 2025 National Investment Map. This map has already been shared with ministries, sector authorities, and provincial investment commissions, even though it has not yet been published on the NIC’s official website.
Throughout the year, the commission also reviewed and studied 77 investment projects, focusing on project evaluation and financing. All of this points to a steady push to attract investment and build long-term economic growth in Iraq.
