Saudi and Iranian firms vie for business at Erbil trade fair

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – Two hundred companies are taking part in a joint four-day construction and oil and gas fair in Erbil to promote investment in the Kurdistan Region and other parts of Iraq. 

The 11th Erbil International Building - Construction, Municipal Equipment & Machinery Exhibition and the Fifth Erbil Oil & Gas International Exhibition was held simultaneously under the supervision of the KRG Reconstruction and Housing Ministry and Oil and Natural Resources Ministry. 

Foreign firms are attending from 15 countries – including regional rivals Saudi Arabia and Iran. 

The fair was opened by Deputy Prime Minister Qubad Talabani and attended by officials from the KRG and the Iraqi government. 

Erol Guler, export manager of Turkish firm Aydin Boru, told Rudaw English they are “keen to work in the Kurdistan Region as it is rapidly developing especially in the field of gas and oil.”

The firm sells oil pipes and related materials.

He described the fair “an opportunity” to sign contracts with the Region and firms working in the sector.

Aydin Boru operates in 20 European and Middle Eastern countries. 

“This is the first time for us to have come to the Kurdistan Region,” he said. 

Iranian firms also attended the fair – many of them looking to invest in the Region for the first time. 

“We have plans to operate across Iraq including Mosul,” Babak Ziaie, manager of Iranian firm Tanha Pouland, told Rudaw English.

Tanha Poulad works in construction selling building materials. According to the company’s manager, they operate across Iran and hope to expand into Azerbaijan and Russia. 

Russia’s Rus Construct, which has been operating in the Kurdistan Region since 2015, building a number of trade and residential towers in Erbil, is taking a keen interest in the reconstruction of war-torn Mosul.

“Our objective is to work in other parts of Iraq and particularly Mosul if the security situation there allows,” Saman Soro, senior coordination officer at Rus Construct, told Rudaw English.

However, the dominate party at this year’s Erbil International Fair is Saudi Arabia.   

“This is the first time that 22 Saudi companies have taken part. They are giant Saudi companies,” Abu Bangin, head of the Erbil International Fair, told Rudaw. 

“The Saudis want to bring their assets to the Kurdistan Region and start investment here,” he said.

The fair comes “as the economic crisis is ending, Daesh has been eliminated, [and] airports have reopened,” Bangin said, using the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State (ISIS).

After the Kurdistan independence referendum in the fall of 2017, Baghdad took punitive measures, including an embargo of the Region’s two international airports in Sulaimani and Erbil. Both reopened in 2018. 

This is the first fair of its kind since 2015. 

Bangin said “the stability of the Region” had made this year’s fair such a success.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region – A delegation of businessmen from Kurdish provinces of Diyarbakir and Sirnak in Turkey visited Erbil to help restore Ankara-Erbil economic and political relations ahead of an expected visit by Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu next week.

“We have come here to bring both communities close to each other, typically now that Erbil-Diyarbakir, Erbil-Gaziantepflights began and Sulaimani-Istanbul flights resumed,” Mehmet Kaya,  head of Diyarbakir Trade and Industry Chamber (DTSO), told Rudaw on Monday.

“The recent [economic] crisis in Turkey resulted from the decrease of foreign trade and export,” Kaya said, suggesting Turkey is eager to develop trade relations with neighboring countries to improve its own economy.

Cavusoglu’s expected visit is part of an effort to “re-develop” relations with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) “not only in terms of economics but also politics,” Kaya said.

“We can see that these efforts are directed towards the redevelopment of relations.”

Two delegations from the DTSO and Sirnak Chamber of Trade, consisting of 50 businessmen, participated in the 11th International Building and Construction Municipality Equipment Fair, which kicked off in Erbil on Monday and will last four days.

Some 200 firms are taking part in the fair, including 150 foreign companies from 15 countries alongside 50 local firms. Thirty-nine are from Turkey.

Erbil-Ankara relations were harmed in late 2017 during the Kurdistan independence referendum. However, unlike Iran, Turkey did not close its borders with the Kurdistan Region.

Iraq-Turkey trade volume stands at around $10 billion. However, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told a press conference in March alongside his Iraqi counterpart Barham Salih they want to expand this further.

“Let’s increase it to $20 billion. We want to keep it at this level or even double it. We have the power to do this. The Turkish private sector is capable of revitalizing the Iraqi economy,” Erdogan said.

Nevin İl, a member of DTSO’s executive board, told Rudaw they have visited Kurdistan Region three times in 2019. The Region’s chambers of commerce have likewise been invited to fairs in Diyarbakir. 

She said it is “very important” for Turkey to have good trade relations with the Kurdistan Region as they share a long border.

“Before the region experienced [the ISIS] conflict, Iraq – particularly the Kurdistan Region – came second in trade with Turkey following Germany,” she said.  “We are working on re-strengthening these relations and increasing the trade volume.”

İl believes Erbil is “as secure as Diyarbakir and Istanbul” and that the Kurdistan Region has “very strong markets and opportunities. I believe it is a secure place for business.”

Turkish Consul General to Erbil Hakan Karacay told Rudaw the “contracting sector has an important presence in Iraq. Turkish companies have undertaken very significant works in Iraq and we will undertake many more projects, contributing greatly to the infrastructure of the region.”

Turkish companies are using such trade fairs to increase their projects in Iraq, he added.
