'Iraq is now attracting substantial Arab and foreign investments across various sectors, exceeding $100 billion in the two years of the government's tenure,' Sudani said in a meeting of companies competing for the Baghdad International Airport development project. Since taking office, Sudani has led numerous trips abroad to secure investment in Iraq, with foreign missions increasingly calling for more investment in the country as it recovers from years of conflict and instability. The prime minister has also prioritized attracting investors through economic reforms, anti-corruption measures, and large-scale infrastructure and energy projects. 'We welcome all Arab and foreign companies to Iraq, and send a clear message that it is a safe and attractive investment environment,' Sudani said, asserting that Baghdad will support foreign companies seeking to do business in the country. Iraq and the Kurdistan Region are also actively working to diversify their economy by bolstering the lackluster private sector.

CBI Discusses Banking Reform Plan with Oliver Wyman
By John Lee. Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) Governor Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq and the CBI's specialist team have met with consultancy firm Oliver Wyman to review the Iraqi Private Banks League's comments on the national banking reform plan. The Governor confirmed that the CBI had completed an in-depth discussion, during which participants showed understanding of the points raised and explored ways to adapt certain provisions flexibly to ease implementation. Oliver Wyman has begun assessing potential solutions to present the best proposals in the near future. The CBI reiterated that the plan - developed over several months - aims to establish a stable and secure banking sector in line with international standards, local laws, and best practices in governance, compliance, and risk management. The ultimate goal is to strengthen the sector's economic role, enhance development, and deliver services efficiently using modern technologies. Implementation of the plan is expected to restore correspondent banking relationships for compliant Iraqi banks, especially those currently lacking such international ties. The CBI expressed gratitude to all banks for their cooperation and stressed that the plan's success depends on the collaboration of all stakeholders. (Source: CBI)

Iraq to Export Oil through Syria?
By John Lee. Iraq's Minister of Oil Hayan Abdul Ghani has held talks in Baghdad with Syrian Minister of Energy Mohammad Bashir, focusing on cooperation in oil, gas, and energy. Discussions covered Iraq's plans to diversify crude oil export routes amid rising production, including rehabilitating or replacing the Iraq-Syria export pipeline, which was active in past decades. Options under review include exports via Syria's Baniyas port and Lebanon's Tripoli, alongside ongoing efforts to resume flows through Turkey's Ceyhan terminal. The Iraqi side also presented progress in gas utilisation, refining capacity, and the Basra-Haditha pipeline project, which will boost exports and supply domestic refineries. Both parties agreed to form a joint technical committee, with possible international consultancy, to assess the Iraqi-Syrian pipeline's condition and feasibility of reactivation. In a separate meeting, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani met Bashir to discuss broader bilateral cooperation, including petrochemical projects on the Mediterranean coast, climate change coordination, and joint water management in the Euphrates basin. The Prime Minister reaffirmed Iraq's support for Syria's stability and sovereignty, and opposition to aggression against its territory. Talks were also attended by Iraqi oil ministry officials, the head of the National Investment Commission (NIC), and the Minister of Water Resources, who stressed the need to honour existing agreements on Euphrates water flows.
