The project "Bringing Business Back in Iraq" aims to help the country's recovery by boosting private sector involvement. A survey was conducted to understand the challenges faced by businesses in Iraq due to the conflict. The main obstacles include power outages, financial difficulties, and reliance on government contracts. The conflict has led to decreased sales, investments, and employment opportunities. The study also looks at how firms are coping with these challenges and suggests ways to support private sector growth in Iraq.
