Iraq has announced the launch of the massive Development Road Project, aiming to capitalize on the country’s geopolitical location and border crossings with numerous countries by building a transportation network that connects the Gulf region with Turkey. Notably, the Development Road is one among several such projects currently under discussion in the region, aiming to enhance connectivity between countries and improve trade routes.
This project will bolster Iraq’s geopolitical and geostrategic status as a corridor for global trade. It will provide financial revenues and job opportunities that could reduce the country’s reliance on oil and public sector employment.
