Country Analysis Brief
  • Despite enormous oil reserves Iraq’s oil sector is constrained by the lack of investment resulting from years of sanctions and wars.
  • Iraq may be one of the few places left where vast oil reserves have barely been exploited.
  • Iraq’s natural gas sector is believed to contain significant untapped resources which the Government of Iraq would like to develop for domestic consumption and export.
  • Rehabilitation of the electricity sector is a major component of the Iraq reconstruction efforts.
