Within the framework of Iraqi investment law, foreign investors enjoy specific rights and benefits that enhance the attractiveness of the investment environment. Among these rights and benefits is their “right to trade in commercial markets,” meaning they are qualified to participate in the securities market in Iraq. This includes the ability to buy and sell securities such as stocks and bonds listed on the stock exchange. Additionally, they have the right to obtain membership in local joint-stock companies, enabling them to actively participate as members of the management of these companies.
This right enhances opportunities for foreign investors to capitalize on investment prospects in local markets and allows them to engage effectively in the management of local joint-stock companies.
This reflects a commitment to achieving active and sustainable participation in the national economic activities.
