US DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
REPORT RECOMMENDS KURDISTAN AS GATEWAY FOR INVESTING
IN IRAQ
A report published this month [Feb 2006] by the U.S.
Department of Commerce’s Iraq Investment and
Reconstruction Task Force, discusses various market
entry strategies and recommends Kurdistan as the
regional gateway for investing in Iraq.
"... Another strategy involves targeting Iraq’s
northern Kurdistan region as a gateway for
investment in Iraq. In part due to its
semi-autonomous status since the early 1990s, the
Kurdistan region boasts of a well-organized regional
government and relatively stable economy, making it
home to a host of early entrant investors, some of
whom will be poised for expansion into Central and
Southern Iraq once the security environment
improves.
In 2005, direct flights were launched connecting
Amman, Dubai, Frankfurt, and Stockholm with Erbil
International Airport, capital of the Kurdistan
region, with plans to launch direct service from
Austria, the U.K., and Turkey in the near future.
Additionally, civilian charter aircraft began
servicing the Sulaymaniyah Airport to and from
Europe in the second half of 2005."
