[January 2011] This is the latest report by Dunia Frontier Consultants to track the activities of foreign firms and investors in Iraq. It follows similar surveys conducted in 2009 and 2010, but employs a different methodology that has been developed in response to particular market developments in Iraq and changes in the behavior of foreign firms. Dunia has broadened the scope of its data collection (now employing the category “foreign commercial activity”) while simultaneously adopting more stringent criteria for reporting individual deals. Dunia has also retroactively applied these new criteria to its data from prior years, in order to develop a more accurate model of annual changes in foreign business activity in Iraq since 2003. Dunia’s intent in producing these reports is to assess the changing economic landscape in Iraq.
