Increasing power generation
Iraq necessitates major efforts to increase its power generation and distribution in order to achieve self-sufficiency. In addition to 3.5 million new houses planned, the country also has a need for new hotels, office parks and manufacturing plants, as well as critical infrastructure development, increasing the demand for electricity, lighting and HVAC products.
The 5th edition of Energy Iraq, welcomed more than 150 exhibitors and more than 18,500 visitors.
Iraq - One of the Fastest Growing Emerging Markets in the World
With deep commercial traditions, vast natural resources - including the world's second largest oil reserves - and strategic ports and airports, Iraq occupies a pivotal position in the Arabian Gulf and Middle East region, and has the potential of becoming a major cost-effective trading and distribution location.
The country’s reconstruction efforts entail massive investment in all economic sectors, with government spending projected at US$ 98.45 billion in the 2012 budget, and over US$ 200 billion targeted in foreign investment over the next decade.
With that in mind, Iraq presents a window of opportunity for companies willing to invest in one of the world’s most significant emerging markets witnessing rising recovery, reconstruction and development needs across all sectors of its economy from basic infrastructure to housing, hotels, schools, and public building rehabilitation requiring not only large amounts of materials but also equipment and expertise.
Erbil - logistical hub for international companies
Erbil is the northern gateway to Iraq and is considered an attractive logistical hub for international companies. The stable northern region of Kurdistan is generating strong attention, thanks in particular to work by the Kurdistan Development Corporation to attract top-caliber international investors to the region. The Kurdistan regional government has taken important steps to ensure an investor-friendly legislative environment.
