PM's Advisor :The Strategic Framework Agreement between Iraq and USA established the foundation for stable bilateral relations

 

3/29/2025

 

Baghdad –

The Prime Minister's Advisor for Financial Affairs, Mudhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Saturday that the Strategic Framework Agreement contributed to strengthening Iraq's financial and banking integration. He also noted that Iraq's relationship with the United States contributed to achieving balance in foreign policy and the economy.

Salih told the Iraqi News Agency (INA): "The Strategic Framework Agreement signed between Iraq and the United States in 2008 formed the basis for the development of paths of stability in bilateral relations between the two friendly countries, and on many axes of joint cooperation, which is important in the relationship with a major country like the United States."

He explained that "the role and importance of the United States in the international coalition forces, through its significant participation in combating ISIS terrorism, is an important element in the process of preserving our country's sovereignty, security, and stability. It provided a solid signal to open the doors of the world to international trade and investment links for Iraq, at high levels, through a large gateway whose title is security, stability, and prosperity with the world."

Salih added, "The agreement was a positive channel for creating an atmosphere of financial and banking relations that charted Iraq's path to integration into the international financial and banking system without fears of international financing, while achieving a high degree of transparency and governance with the international banking market and the international financial and economic community. "

He continued, "If the United States is the world's leading energy producer, Iraq is OPEC's second-largest crude oil producer, meaning that our country is a strategic international energy hub, and its security and economic stability will remain essential to international development."

He added, "Since the defeat of ISIS terrorism (and in cooperation with friendly major powers, specifically the United States), our country has been able to pursue a neutral and highly independent policy that seeks to build stable economies in a turbulent world. Iraq is a stable achievement that can be emulated in light of the highly complex regional and international geography and politics." He pointed out that "the friendly and cooperative relations between Iraq and the United States have provided Iraq with two important paths over two decades. The first is achieving balance in Iraq's foreign relations with the United States and not relying on a single axis, or what is called engaging in the policy of axes."

He continued, "The other axis is the role of our country's peace strategy, which has led to reducing regional tensions by building balanced relations with international and neighboring powers, after our country became a highly important international and regional player, credited with providing elements of stability in the region and the world."

The Prime Minister's Advisor emphasized that "the continued improvement of the relationship between Iraq and the United States will continue to contribute to achieving stability and sustainable development, while ensuring that this relationship remains balanced and preserves Iraq's sovereignty and the independence of its national decision-making. This is currently achieved through mutual respect and America's appreciation for Iraq's positive positions and its commitment to building just regional peace, security, and shared development."

✓ GOLD WILL BACK THE DINAR , 2 APRIL

 GOLD WILL BACK THE DINAR 

      (and all other currencies)

1. GOLD is being REVALUED now 

2. IMPLEMENTATION of the GOLD STANDARD

3. RV of all CURRENCIES 

✓The implementation of the GOLD STANDARD comes first, then the RV of all  currencies based on the new value of gold. 

✓And things are getting ready to put gold on the BLOCKCHAIN. All this is the reason for the announcement that President Trump and Elon Musk are going to FORT KNOX.

✓This is a well orchestrated event, with GOLD leading the way to set us free and for our paper currencies to revalue as well.

✓The audit and RV of gold is a very important step. 

✓In order for our paper currencies to be revalued it is necessary for gold to be revalued first. 

✓And it is actually already in the process as we speak. The value of gold is increasing on a weekly basis. The demand for gold globally is far outpacing the amount of bouillon gold that is available. Leading to record prices. 

✓A revaluation of gold triggers shifts in global trade and investment patterns. This again will impact the value of currencies. 

Increased investments in emerging markets that hold a lot of gold could lead to the increase value of the currencies of these countries. Like IRAQ.

All countries are preparing for tokenised gold to be on the quantum financial system. That’s why all these countries are repatriating their gold. Gold provides security and transparency on the blockchain. 

➡️ RV of IQD will happen after the gold standard goes live. 

➡️ Could the IMPLEMENTATION of the GOLD STANDARD be what PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL ANNOUNCE TOMORROW?

Is Iraq's Ecosystem Investment-Ready?, 2 APRIL

 Is Iraq's Ecosystem Investment-Ready?

ECOSYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Iraqi startup ecosystem started with a bang this year. In Q1 of 2022, we witnessed an unprecedented $10.5M investment round (Baly) and $5M (TipTop). The excitement revolved not only around investment value but also around the investor profile.

Specifically, Baly's round was a testament to regional and international investor appetite in Iraq. The investors were diverse - from China (MSA Novo), UAE (March Holding), and Sweden (Vostok Ventures). Another interesting attribute is that both startups were early stage.

Unfortunately, the initial thrill of Q1 seemed to fizzle out by mid-year. The expected ripple effect of those two initial deals did not materialize. During Q2 of 2022, there was no publicly reported investment activity. The remainder of 2022's rounds were six-figure or less. With only one public round in 2022 (Nakhla), Euphrates Ventures seemed to have disappeared from the scene.

Although the dollar amounts of 2022 surpassed last year, 2021 displayed consistency in value, investor profile, and disbursement of funds across all four quarters. So, what happened to the investment buzz? Were Baly and TipTop just one-off anomalies?

BENCHMARKING AGAINST INVESTMENTS IN MENA

For a more holistic view, let us dig deeper and see how Iraq's investment trends stack up against MENA's. According to Wamda and Digital Digest's October 2022 report, the value of deals in the region witnessed a 331% year-on-year increase compared to October 2021. As of today and based on our conservative estimates, Iraq is on a similar positive trajectory. Iraq's year-on-year investment value increased by around three-quarters (72%) - mainly attributed to Baly's and TipTop's groundbreaking rounds. While seed and pre-seed activity witnessed a drop in the MENA region, the value and number of seed-stage rounds in Iraq remained relatively stable.

MENA investors poured money into two main industries - cleantech and fintech. Fintech startups received the most attention, with startups such as MoneyFellows($31M), Telda ($20M), and MaxAB ($40M). Meanwhile, cleantech startup, Yellow Door Energy, led the biggest raise with a mega-round of $400M. Iraq's investment landscape observed very divergent sectoral inclinations. Ecommerce continues to reign as king. Historically, cleantech in Iraq received its share of attention.

New contenders have sprouted, notably agritech (Nakhla) and edtech (IoT Kids). This sectoral interest is consistent with social and economic needs. Fintech, on the other hand, is still nascent. Mohammed Koperly from Al Nesoor Law firm attributes this to "complex ambiguous laws and regulations applying to banks, financial institutions, and insurance companies if they carry out such regulated activities." And that is why we notice a proliferation of wallet and prepaid solutions. Interestingly enough, ecommerce platforms are exploring new and innovative methods of circumventing the lack of fintech solutions, particularly startups such as Orderii, Simma, and ToolMart.

LOOKING FORWARD: SOLUTIONS AND NEXT STEPS

Last month, Five One Invest buckled down and organized a roundtable session to uncover the gaps facing investors...what were the missing pieces of the puzzle? The online roundtable invited fifteen international, regional, and local investors to discuss investment barriers and potential solutions.

The discussion uncovered four main steps to be taken to facilitate involvement in the Iraqi ecosystem:.

• Addressing startups' investment readiness gaps such as basic accounting.

• Contextualizing Iraq's ecosystem by providing a holistic overview of the investment and entrepreneurial landscape.

• Presenting Iraq's startups at regional events (such as Step, Rise Up, Gitex, etc.).

• Building trust among regional and local investors through investor networking, relationship building, and knowledge sharing.

• Supporting the survival of later-stage startups by increasing the ticket size and de-risking through co-investment and the participation of larger investors.

Quite a few ecosystem players have taken measures to champion the ecosystem further. Earlier this year, Iraq Venture Partners (IVP) and Five One Invest launched a joint pilot investment readiness program. The joint pilot program provides startups tailored support through Five One Invest that addresses gaps before the IVP investment transpires. The type of support includes financial modeling, pitch deck readiness, due diligence, and customer experience evaluation. Other entities in the market run similar programs, such as The Station, Kapita, and Cross-Boundary. However, there is still space for development.

Within Iraq, there is no shortage of educational and informative content. Local players such as Iraqi Innovators, Kapita, and Five One Invest produce articles, reports, and content with in-depth analysis of the ecosystem landscape. Engaging the international and regional content houses, however, is what warrants attention. A few regional players, such as Wamda and Magnitt, report on Iraq's entrepreneurial scene, but it is still insufficient to attract regional attention.

These past two years have presented Iraq's startups with regional and international exposure. In 2021, Rabee Securities, a well-established Iraq-based securities brokerage firm, hosted five Iraqi startups (Miswag, AlSaree3, KESK, IQ Cars, and Zaytoon) to represent at the Iraq Pavilion EXPO 2020. Earlier this year IQ Cars, an automotive marketplace app, flew out to Websummit, an annual technology conference in Portugal. Also, four startups, JobStudio, Orderii, STEMile, and Eduba ايدوبـــا, showcased and networked with regional investors during the MENA ICT Forum, a two-day forum focused on tech in the MENA. It is refreshing to see opportunities opening up, albeit slowly and far between.

The two other main challenges, developing relationships between regional and local investors and supporting later-stage startups through co-investment, remains tricky. But that is what we are here for...watch this space!
