The new Iraqi Trade Information Center (ITIC) is now open in Baghdad and ready to offer its services to Iraqi business organizations.
Iraq’s Minister of Trade and Minister of Industry and Minerals both attended the grand opening held last week for the facility on the Baghdad International Fairgrounds.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) collaborated with the Ministry of Trade in establishing the new organization, providing support for renovations and office equipment as well as ongoing training for its staff.
The ITIC will serve as a one-stop shop for private firms seeking information about trade and investment opportunities in Iraq, helping to stimulate trade and create jobs in Iraq.
Also, businesses are now able to use the facility’s conference center, meeting rooms, Internet services, library and training facilities, and later this year will be able to access information online through the organization’s Web site.
