Iraq: A new country in the making

Iraq, a country endowed with enormous resources and the second-largest oil reserves in the world, is anticipated to regain economic vitality. A new market-oriented business environment is emerging with promising investment opportunities, as private enterprise is expected to be leading the economic recovery. Most business leaders in Iraq have a positive outlook on the future and welcome opening Iraq to the international business community. A new Iraq would offer enormous opportunities to multinational corporations. Though doing business in Iraq is currently fraught with risk, it should prove very profitable once the country gets hold of its security situation.
