😊Here is yet another article on this subject matter which is telling us that even the International Development Bank is willing to invest in Iraq.
We usually don’t see this kind of support from a global bank unless there is serious stability in a country’s financial system. The article is titled “TO BOOST THE ECONOMY, THE INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT BANK IS THE OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF THE IRAQI BUSINESS SUMMIT.” The International Development Bank announced its official sponsorship of the Iraqi Business Summit (IBS).
The summit will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025, in Celebration Square-stage Al-Mansour Downtown Baghdad. The summit will be held with broad participation from local and international economic institutions and investment companies. I would have to even call this a “WOW!” article.

😊If all this news about investors potential investors finally pouring into Iraq is not good enough for amazing news, they lets look at the article titled “AN ECONOMIST PROPOSES A WAY TO TRANSFORM IRAQ INTO AN “ACTIVE REGIONAL PLAYER.” An economic expert has proposed a practical way to transform Iraq from what he calls a “field of influence” into a “power” and an “active regional player” in the worlds of politics and economics.
Economic expert, Manar Al-Obaidi, pointed out in a post on his social media account that, “At a time when countries around the world, whether allied or hostile, are rushing to win the favor of the Donald Trump administration. The economic expert believes that “the use of Iraq as a bargaining chip is no longer limited to the Iranian side.
Arab and Turkish parties have also entered the fray, and various Iraqi issues are sometimes managed as part of understandings or escalation deals between regional powers and the United States.”
Iraq has a rare opportunity to transform from a mere arena of influence into an effective regional player, if it makes good use of its economic tools. One of the most prominent of these possible tools is the proposal to establish an Iraqi-American investment fund, financed by the export revenues of no less than 100,000 barrels of oil per day, sold directly to the United States.
These revenues would be allocated exclusively to investment in the American market, forming the nucleus of a sovereign fund capable of generating long-term profits for the Iraqi state.”
According to Al-Obaidi, “developing this fund and enhancing its investments would create mutual economic interest with the United States and transform Iraq into a political force with regional influence, linked by long-term strategic economic relations, rather than remaining a tool in the hands of negotiators at a table to which it is not invited.”
So, if we are smart we don’t even had to read between the lines of what is going on in Iraq. Instead, it is blaring us right in the face. Oh boy! If you can’t see what is coming after today’s Newsletter I can’t help you. Let me explain. It took a business man like Donald Trump to see the potential in Iraq for American companies but also, which is most important, to take advantage of it. But Trump knows that before he can convince American companies to come to Iraq, he must erase the stigma of Iranian influence in Iraq. Do you get it now, why the emphasis on cleaning out Iran from Iraq all of sudden? Do you see why now? This should have been done a decade ago. I will go a step further and say it was through many U.S. administrations and BAD FOREIGH POLICIES filled with corruption that led to Iran entering and abusing Iraq in the first place. Iraq back then counted on the U.S. to help is and it didn’t. Now, like so many other issues, this must be reversed. From my Newsletter today we get a really good clear look at where the Trump foreign policy towards Iraq is going and its all VERY GOOD!
Again, I am going to also bring up the “Development Road Project”, the port of Faw and the interconnected system of roadways and rail lines being constructed throughout Iraq. What the hell do you think this is all for? You can go re-read my Newsletter dated April 3rd in the Archives for more info to refresh your memory.
