IBBC Spring Conference 2022

Sustaining Iraq’s Economic Growth

Tuesday, 24 May, The Mansion House, London

Join IBBC, its members and the international business and finance community for a full agenda of expert speakers, UK & Iraqi politicians and many networking and business development opportunities.

This year we will be concentrating on how UK and International companies, supported by the UK Government and other agencies can assist the Iraqi people with its efforts to build a sustainable economy, post the recent elections, post the Covid pandemic and at a time when the whole world is trying to move from total reliance on fossil fuels, Iraq’s most important natural asset, to a more balanced energy policy and, in Iraq’s case, a more balanced economy.

As always being in the City of London we shall be concentrating on finance with sessions on banking, project finance and insurance, but there will also be sessions on the Iraqi Government White Paper, Energy Transition/ Decarbonising Energy, and Capacity building in the public and private sectors.

‘Sustaining Iraq’s Economic Growth’ has sessions on the Iraq banking sector, project finance, energy, and education and skills. There are several round table planned for including a round table discussion with Ministers and Governors form the Kurdistan Regional Government.

A new paper on the privatisation of State Owned Enterprises written by members of the IBBC advisory Council will be launched and discussed with the Head of the Iraqi Prime Ministers Reform Cell.
