Iraq Updates Services Framework to Fulfill World Trade Organization Accession Requirements

The Iraqi Ministry of Trade, through its Department of Foreign Economic Relations, has initiated updates to its initial services offer as part of ongoing technical requirements for joining the World Trade Organization (WTO). Technical committees held coordination meetings with relevant ministries and the International Trade Centre (ITC) to review sectors including cultural, sports, health, and commercial services. The process aims to meet member states' standards, widen foreign investment access, and raise market transparency.
