| Exhibition Overview |
|
| Over the past few years, Iraq has attracted massive interest from the international business community in the secure and stable region of Kurdistan now dubbed as The Other Iraq. |
| |
ERBIL: THE NORTHERN GATEWAY TO IRAQ, PROMOTING IRAQ FROM THE INSIDE
|
| Erbil is the capital and seat of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). It serves as the Northern Gateway to Iraq and is the epicenter of a region offering all the advantages that matter in the era of globalization. |
| |
DOING BUSINESS IN KURDISTAN
|
The KRG investment law was passed in July 2006 and an Investment Board was created to manage and promote it. This Investment Law is one of the friendliest to foreign investors looking for lucrative business ventures. Some benefits of this law include:
Entitlement to buy and own land for investment purposes
10 year non-custom tax break
Ownership of all the capital of any project
Allocation of free or reduced price land for investment projects
Repatriation of profits in full
|
| |
DOING BUSINESS IN IRAQ
|
| Iraq harbors an enormous untapped economic potential and offers great rewards for investors. A new Investment Law was passed which allows 100% foreign ownership and management of Iraqi enterprises - except for the oil, gas, finance and insurance sectors. It also establishes the freedom to transfer abroad all funds associated with investments. Recently, this Investment Law was ratified allowing investors to now own land in Iraq. |

USD$70 BILLION FOR IRAQI KEY SECTORS
