The Ministry of Trade affirmed on Friday its commitment to activating export support tools and developing foreign trade, within the framework of the government’s vision aimed at diversifying national income sources, reducing dependence on oil revenues, and enhancing the entry of Iraqi products into global markets. Ministry spokesperson Mohammed Hanoun told the official news agency that “the Export Support Fund represents one of the main financial tools for encouraging Iraqi exporters to enter foreign markets,” explaining that “the support mechanisms are linked to tangible results, namely increasing the value and diversification of non-oil exports, thereby achieving real economic returns that benefit the national economy.”
He added that “the ministry is working to activate the insurance aspect of exports in coordination with national insurance companies, with the aim of reducing the risks that exporters may face while dealing with international markets,” noting that “this step will enhance confidence in Iraqi products and raise their competitiveness in regional and global markets.” Hanoun continued, “Revenues from commercial activity have witnessed an increase during the current year, as a result of the increase in the volume of trade exchange and the development of the business environment, as well as the expansion of marketing channels internally and externally,” stressing that “the ministry is continuing to improve regulatory procedures and simplify export and import operations, in line with the goals of sustainable economic development.”
He also affirmed that “the Ministry of Trade is committed to supporting local exporters and producers, and is working to expand the production base and improve the quality of Iraqi goods to be competitive in foreign markets, in a manner befitting Iraq’s economic reputation.”
