TrinityeXchange Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) okay so i was very lost in this translation and asked my friend to translate for me. In a nutshell the article is saying that the CBI is recommending that the GOI revolutionize (stronger than reform) the process that foreign companies are licensed to do business in Iraq. The CBI recommends creating a single window to process these multinational companies through because the current process is too cumbersome. (my friend believes that a foreign company most likely has to engage numerous security entities before being granted proper permission to do business which can take a long time. having to go through only one entity would make the process more efficient.) The CBI has been in talks with a lot of companies looking to do business in Iraq. The current environment (administrative, legal, political) needs an extreme reform to make it easier for foreign companies to enter Iraq. These companies are very interested in Iraq but the process is too difficult. (me) in summary, Iraq's current investment policies are not conducive to promoting foreign investment. they are shooting their own selves in the foot and preventing money, opportunity and jobs from entering the country. create one gateway for all foreign companies to go through and make the process a whole heck of a lot easier. oh, and thanks Yota Edited February 17, 2015 by TrinityeXchange 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrinityeXchange Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 (edited) This should add a little more insight to the original posted article. It is from the World Bank or IMF (can't remember) report on Iraq from circa 2013. Transparency of the Regulatory System The lack of clear and definitive implementing regulations for the National Investment Law and its amendment remains a source of delay and confusion in the approval of investment projects. Once fully implemented, the law would establish a legal framework for investment. Potential investors, however, would likely still face laws, regulations, and administrative procedures that continue to make Iraq’s overall regulatory environment relatively opaque. Over 950 firms—both foreign and domestic—have filed for investment licenses in Iraq to date, but fewer have moved to an execution phase. PICs have also been active in assisting regional investors. However, NIC and PIC Commissioners and their staff often lack training and expertise, and are still building their operations to serve as effective “One-Stop Shops” for investors to ease their entrance into the Iraqi market. The absence of other laws in areas of interest to foreign investors also creates ambiguity. Iraq’s Legislative Action Plan for the Implementation of WTO Agreements – the legislative “road map” for Iraq’s eventual WTO accession – requires competition and consumer protection laws that are critical for leveling the business playing field. The Council of Representatives passed a Competition Law and a Consumer Protection Law in 2010;however, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commissions authorized by these laws have yet to be formed. Without these Commissions, investors do not have recourse against unfair business practices such as price-fixing by competitors, bid rigging, or abuse of dominant position in the market. In the IKR, the KRG implemented the Consumer Protection Law by passing Law 9 of 2010. The way in which the Iraqi government promulgates regulations can be opaque and lend itself to arbitrary use. Regulations imposing duties on citizens or private businesses are required to be published in the official government gazette. However, there is no corresponding requirement for the publication of internal ministerial regulations. This loophole allows bureaucrats to create internal requirements, procedures, or other “turnstiles” with little or no oversight, which can result in additional burdens for investors and other businesspersons.
