Abstract
Despite decades of war and instability,
Iraq's abundant natural resources, strategic geographic
location and cultural history endow Iraq with tremendous
potential for growth and diverse economic development.
Driven by windfall oil revenues in recent years, the
Government of Iraq has invested heavily in rebuilding the
infrastructure of the country, and its abundant oil reserves
ensure that progress can continue steadily. This report was
initiated at the request of the Iraqi government to assess
the local investment climate and identify those high
priority factors which most significantly impede private
sector development in Iraq, in an effort to prioritize the
recommended investments, institutional and regulatory
reforms which would most significantly contribute to
sustainable private sector growth and increased productivity.
