Iraqi-British Business Council Conference: A Step Towards Economic Transformation in Iraq, 25 NOV
The Iraqi-British Business Council is poised to host a landmark conference in Dubai on December 7th and 8th, with an ambitious intent of bolstering alliances and ushering economic transformation in Iraq. The conference aims to galvanize companies engaged in business and trade, in a bid to nurture investment opportunities and bolster Iraq’s industry and its populace.
Strengthening Economic Ties
The event underscores the UAE’s ascending role as the primary commercial hub for Iraq, reflecting a substantial growth in trade between the two nations, which has surged by over 60% in 2022. The UAE emerges as a common ground for diverse global entities ranging from the UK, EU, and US to India, Turkey, Iraq and the Gulf. This pivotal role of the UAE in facilitating international cooperation is highlighted, further augmenting its potential for investment in Iraq, and providing an efficient route for companies to penetrate the Iraqi market, bypassing administrative hurdles within Iraq itself.
Building a Sustainable Future
A keynote speech by Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, the Minister of State for Foreign Trade, will be a centerpiece of the event, focusing on constructing a sustainable future. The conference comes at a crucial juncture, addressing cardinal issues such as economic sustainability, education, finance, and climate change. As part of the climate change discussion, a UN-led conference in Dubai recently concurred on a target to curtail carbon emissions from global aviation by 5 per cent by 2030 through the utilization of sustainable aviation fuels.
Driving Growth and Development
The conference is seen as a catalyst for socioeconomic progress in Iraq. As Christoph Michels, the conference’s Managing Director, emphasizes the import of the event, which is projected to draw key decision-makers and stimulate dialogue on critical issues. Fikas Handa, the UAE representative at the regional level in the council, also recognizes the conference’s potential to influence Iraq’s long-term development and foresight. With its focus on facilitating technology transfer, infrastructure development, and expertise sharing, the conference is set to promote growth and development in Iraq, contributing to its reconstruction and economic revival.
