Prime Minister Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani confirmed that Iraq is an influential country in the energy market and there are many opportunities for American companies to work in various sectors.
Al-Sudani stressed the importance of diversifying Iraq’s economic resources, gas investment, and financial revenues to activate the agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors.
Al-Sudani said in the press interview he conducted with the American CNN network: We are working to diversify the sources of our economy, and invest in gas and financial revenues to activate the agricultural, industrial and commercial sectors.
He added: We have the possibility to increase oil production, but this is subject to a deliberate policy inside Iraq, and with our brothers and friends in OPEC.
He continued: We are working to change the stereotypical image of exploiting wealth in Iraq, and to go for the optimal investment of oil and its revenues in developing important sectors.
