A significant number of companies and investors from Arab Gulf countries have expressed readiness to enter the Kurdistan Region and invest across multiple sectors. A representative of the Kurdistan investment delegation reiterated this message, adding that Arab participants in the Abu Dhabi Investment Meeting (AIM) were particularly encouraged to consider opportunities in the Region.
In recent days, the 14th edition of the Abu Dhabi Investment Meeting took place in the UAE capital with the participation of representatives from the Kurdistan Region under the theme: “Mapping the Future of Global Investment: The New Wave of a Globalized Investment Landscape – Towards a New Balanced World Structure.” Following the meeting, many companies from Arab countries showed interest in investing in Kurdistan, drawn by the Region’s stability, favorable business climate, and development potential.
The Kurdistan Investment Delegation announced: “This is the second year we are participating in the Abu Dhabi Investment Meeting under the leadership of Prime Minister Masrour Barzani, supported by a delegation from the Ministry of Trade and Industry, along with several investors and businesspeople from Kurdistan.”
The economic importance of this meeting is reflected in the high-profile attendance, including several heads of state, more than 60 ministers, 30 mayors, central bank governors, and over 1,250 panelists from across the world. According to observations, the Kurdistan Region has succeeded in attracting the attention of many investors and investment firms from Arab countries.
In a press release, the Kurdistan delegation emphasized: “Through our participation, we aim to invite Emirati and international investors to explore opportunities in the Kurdistan Region. The Region offers a wealth of promising investment sectors.”
This year, alongside other countries, a “Visit Kurdistan” was officially presented at the meeting. The Kurdistan delegation stated: “We held a series of meetings with presidents, prime ministers, and ministers of economy and industry from participating countries. At every meeting, we assured them that all necessary facilitation and support would be provided for investment in our Region.”
“These opportunities include sectors that further strengthen the economic infrastructure of Kurdistan—especially tourism, trade, industry, education, and vocational training.”
