Militia Man   On April 13 Alaq Central Bank Governor says, 'Alert, Alert we're going to have a potential rate change.'  The backdrop is bold red.  To me he says Red Alert...am I reading into it?  Maybe.  But it really is powerful.

This is a big year for Iraq, and IBBC is inviting you to join us at our Mansion House, Spring Conference on June 16th in the City of London.

We are celebrating the theme ‘Iraq 2023, Open to the World’ with our members and the international business and finance community.

As the Iraqi government is set to pass a new $120bn budget for distribution, sustained by a strong oil price and increased political stability, the Internationalisation of Iraq is set to continue and accelerate.

IBBC is also developing a wider international audience, from trade initiatives with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, members in Turkey and USA, to members services extending to the Gulf, Europe and beyond. It’s time to evaluate how Iraq can evolve and optimise the opportunities for growth.

IBBC expects a full agenda of major international companies and speakers, UK & Iraqi politicians and many networking and business development opportunities.

Key panels will include International Finance with sessions on Banking and Investment, Project Finance and Insurance,  Renewable Energy and diversified services. We expect to hear from some of the most successful local and international companies working in Iraq on Infrastructure and General Trading.  In addition, there will be parallel sessions on Education and Technology in dedicated spaces. Please do get in touch with us should you wish to help shape the agenda and suggest potential themes and speakers.

We are aiming to exceed last year’s record attendance and are including a special reception at One Great George Street the previous evening, 15th June as part of the ticket.
