7. Transportation Sector

It is one of the important economic
sectors for its direct impact on the

daily life of people and its tangled

connection with the other economic

sectors which can't be improved and
developed without good infrastructure

and efficient services of the transport

system and all types of land usage requires a road net that meets its needs.

This sector is characterized by a big contribution of the local and foreign private sector and
investments in implementing and operating lots of its projects.

The contribution of this sector to the GDP in the fixed prices was approximately %7.8 for the

year 2018, according to the national development plan.

Iraq has planned to exploit its special geographic location in developing the transport sector in
all its branches (land, maritime and air), the matter that will help in achieving the economic

growth and creating lots of job opportunities in the international commercial businesses

especially when developing the sector's infrastructure which will result in diversifying

revenues and providing better services to people and all users.
