The Chairman of the KRG Board of Investment, Minister Herish Muharam, seconded this sentiment, saying, “We are very keen on strengthening business ties with American companies and we welcome you to invest in the Kurdistan Region.”
“We have a very friendly investment law and are ready to guide you to the investment opportunities in Kurdistan in sectors of agriculture, trade, and tourism,” he added.
During their visit, the USKBC sponsored a business seminar at the Erbil International Fair on 'US Business in Kurdistan', at which US Government and KRG officials as well as leading business people spoke. The USKBC also sponsored an exhibit at the Erbil International Fair, the largest general trade fair in Iraq.
Since 2003, the Kurdistan Regional Government has taken serious steps to attract foreign investment. The Kurdistan Region Investment Law, which was passed in 2006 by the Kurdistan Region Parliament, is considered one of the most liberal and attractive investment laws in the Middle East. This, combined with the security and stability of the Region as well as the friendly and welcoming attitude of its people have contributed to the success of this sector.
