   Makkia: Iraq is heading towards a major investment marathon

11/6/2024  Baghdad

The head of the National Investment Commission, Haider Makiya, confirmed on Wednesday that Iraq is heading towards a major investment marathon for many projects, while he indicated that funding from international institutions reduces the burden on the Ministry of Finance by granting loans for investment projects.

Makiya said in a statement reported by the official news agency, and seen by "Al-Eqtisad News", that "we found many economic visions in the first version of the Iraq Economic Forum", noting that "the issue of the possibility of benefiting from the financing of international institutions known to the Central Bank was raised in order to reduce the burden on the Ministry of Finance to grant loans and facilities to local investment projects or even foreign projects."

He added, "It is necessary to seek external funding to finance investment projects, especially since Iraq is about to embark on a major investment marathon for many investment projects inside Iraq." 

Makiya explained that "the understandings with the International Financing Program are still in effect, and we hope for all major investment projects in the field of renewable energy and waste treatment to generate electricity," noting that "we hope to search for solid institutions to develop the projects, especially since their amounts are very large."  LINK
