As we kick off the new year with our first newsletter, we extend a heartfelt appreciation to all our contributors, with a special acknowledgment to our Expert Bloggers, Ahmed Mousa Jiyad and Ahmed Tabaqchali (AFC Iraq Fund), who have generously shared their wisdom and observations with us over the past twelve months. We eagerly anticipate more insightful contributions from them in the coming year. We also plan to bring on a new Expert Blogger in early 2025, so watch this space!
