NIC National Investment Commission

[The RockStar]

Dear Investors:

Welcome to Iraq

We have embarked on a mission of rebuilding Iraq by attracting Iraqi, Arab, and foreign capital investment. Such investment will contribute to the transfer of knowledge and technology in all Iraqi economic sectors currently being transformed from centralized economy to a market economy based on free competition, equal opportunity and the development of the private sector and in order to fully utilize the natural and human resources of a promising Iraq. We have made available to investors a number of exemptions, incentives, and guarantees according to investment Law 13 of 2006:

- The One Stop Shop in the National and Provincial Investment Commissions which facilitate the processing of the investment licenses applications, issuing the license, allocating the land, securing tax exemptions, and facilitating the entry and exit of investors and their employees.

- Providing potential investors with the Investment Map which lists the investment opportunities with a geographic description at the different provinces as well as a product and service sectoral description.

- The Investor Guide, which provides the necessary information to facilitate entry and exit procedures to and from Iraq and how to enjoy the many benefits of the investment law.

- Amendment of Investment Law 13 of 2006 which guarantees the ownership of land by local, Arab and foreign investors for housing projects and investment partnerships with the State Owned Enterprises based on law No. 2 of 2010.

We are happy to address any questions, concerns, or suggestions you may have. Please email us or visit our headquarters in Baghdad. We are committed to providing all necessary services to achieve a mutually beneficial relationship.
