The Central Bank sponsors the launch of the Al-Fursan Entrepreneurship Program.
The Central Bank of Iraq hosted a celebration announcing the launch of the "Fursan" program, an Iraqi-inspired initiative under the direct sponsorship of His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq. The program serves as a realistic investment program for entrepreneurs, aiming to create real opportunities for youth and enhance the role of the private sector in developing the national economy.
In his speech at the ceremony, His Excellency the Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, emphasized that the Central Bank of Iraq has prioritized supporting projects related to the youth segment, which contributes to the local economy with products and services that contribute to raising the gross domestic product, ensuring an effective role in this regard. In light of the recent reforms, the Iraqi banking sector can also focus on supporting income-generating small and medium-sized enterprises that directly support the private sector.
The "Fursan" program helps participants access investment opportunities and obtain soft loans for those who qualify. The program also provides a safety net that ensures the continuity of promising projects and prevents their failure. These projects serve as incentives for innovative youth and create new job opportunities that contribute to sustainable economic and social development in Iraq.
A group of young people presented their projects, highlighting the products they offer and their assessment of market demand and available potential, with the hope that other entrepreneurs will join them in the future.

Investor Confidence Decline: Ongoing violence and instability caused by attacks on Iranian targets in Iraq have discouraged both local and international investors. Many fear the country is becoming a battleground for regional powers.
Oil Sector Risks: Iran-backed militias are influential in Iraq's oil-rich regions, especially in the south. Escalating tensions threaten oil infrastructure and production, which is the backbone of Iraq’s economy.
Currency Fluctuations: Security threats often lead to speculation and uncertainty in the financial markets, causing instability in the Iraqi dinar and driving up inflation risks.
Trade Disruption: Iraq maintains economic ties with Iran, including electricity imports and border trade. Strikes on Iranian assets and growing tensions could disrupt this exchange, affecting local markets and prices.
Budget Pressure: With the need to increase security spending and repair infrastructure damaged by conflict, Iraq’s public budget faces additional stress, reducing funds for public services and reconstruction.
Reduced Economic Growth: Overall, the conflict environment hampers Iraq’s ability to implement reforms, attract business, and grow its non-oil sectors, all of which are crucial for long-term economic stability.
