to 75 billion dollars during the years of the plan 2022 - 2018. It reflects the private sector
investments in Iraq in all its directions and activities, which constitutes 40% of the total
investments required to achieve the target growth rate in the plan.

In order to achieve the sectoral targeted growth rates, we list below the estimated
investments required annually for each sector of the economy, where it is clear that the
oil sector continues to get a high proportion of investments, around 38.4%, a total of
about 84.7 trillion dinars for the period 2022 – 2018. This comes in line with the need of
this sector for large investments as a capital intensive sector that needs advanced
technology as well as to meet the obligations of the international oil companies. The
infrastructure sectors (electricity, water, construction, transport and communications)
together account for about half the estimated investment up to 49.5% as the need for
electricity and water sector was estimated to around 20.2 trillion dinars for the next five
years, While the estimated investments required for the construction sector amounted to
