Kurdistan’s stability and ongoing development have caught the attention of many international companies, prompting a growing interest in investment opportunities throughout the region. According to Mohammed Shukri, head of the Kurdistan Board of Investment, numerous initiatives have been launched to attract foreign investors, with a strong focus on creating a favorable business environment.
The Kurdistan Region is widely recognized as a secure and promising destination for investment. Investors naturally gravitate toward peaceful and stable regions, and Kurdistan’s consistent progress makes it particularly appealing to global businesses.
Sefin Dizayee, head of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Department of Foreign Relations, highlighted the region’s investor-friendly legal framework. “We have strong, applicable laws for investors to operate within the region, and we are working to keep these laws modern to encourage more foreign companies to launch projects here,” he said.
Shukri further emphasized ongoing collaborations with the United Arab Emirates (UAE), noting the success of a current agricultural project in Zakho. “We aim to implement a range of projects in cooperation with UAE companies,” he explained. “Our goal is to strengthen the region’s economic infrastructure and not only increase the number of Emirati companies, but also expand the overall volume of investment.”
These efforts reflect a broader strategy to position Kurdistan as a regional hub for international business and sustainable economic growth.
