National Investment Commission has announced 65 new investment opportunities across different sectors in Iraq.
The head of the commission, Haider Makkiya, said the projects are part of a wider plan to push forward strategic development in the country. He confirmed that the full details of these opportunities will be published on the commission’s official website.
Makkiya said he hopes both Iraqi and foreign investors will step forward and take advantage of these new openings. The goal is simple: bring more investment into Iraq and move key projects forward.
Earlier, the commission shared that 2025 was a strong year for investment activity. According to its data, more than 850 investment applications were handled during the year, covering a wide range of projects.
Commission spokesperson Hanan Jassim said 2025 ended with important strategic achievements. She explained that the commission worked hard to attract both local and international investors. These efforts, she said, are in line with Iraq’s sustainable development goals, the government’s program, and the national development plan.
Official figures show that over the past three years, total realized investments in Iraq have exceeded $102 billion. That number reflects growing investor confidence and could lead to even higher investment flows in 2026.
The projects reviewed in 2025 covered major sectors such as energy, housing, healthcare, education, transport, and services. The commission confirmed that all applications were processed under Iraq’s Investment Law and in coordination with the relevant ministries and authorities to secure proper approvals.
In simple terms, Iraq is trying to open more doors for investors and send a clear message: the country is ready for business, and large-scale projects are moving forward.
