Parliamentary Economy Committee Discusses Amending the "Investment Law", 1 SEPT

  Parliamentary Economy Committee Discusses Amending the "Investment Law"

The Iraqi legislative arena is currently witnessing intensive discussions about the fourth amendment to Investment Law No. 13 of 2006, as amended, in light of the significant expansion of investment activity in the country in recent years.

These discussions come within the framework of efforts aimed at improving the investment environment and addressing the gaps in the current law.

In a press interview followed by “Economy News”, member of the Economic Committee, Diaa Al-Hindi, confirmed that the proposed amendment is “important and necessary” due to the many problems that the current law suffers from, explaining that “the current law requires fundamental amendments in several aspects, including the mechanism for selecting heads of bodies and members of the board of directors in bodies, in addition to the conditions for granting and withdrawing investment licenses, additional extensions, and grievance procedures.”

Al-Hindi pointed out that the amendment seeks to address those issues that the current law did not adequately address, which negatively affects the investment climate in Iraq.   link
