Iraq attempts to encourage Amazon to build facilities in Iraq
3/20/2025 Baghdad –
The Director of the General Company for Post and Savings, Zainab Abdul-Sahib, revealed on Wednesday that the Iraqi Ministry of Communications is trying to encourage Amazon and SHEIN to establish branches in Iraq.
In a statement to the state news agency (INA), Abdul-Sahib said that the required facilities and warehouses to establish branches of international e-commerce companies in Iraq have been set up.
The Iraqi official explained that the launch of an e-commerce platform in Iraq has become imminent.
Plans have been developed for 2025 following the establishment of the fundamental infrastructure by the Ministry of Communications, according to Abdul-Sahib.
In order to stay up with global developments, the Iraqi government started planning in 2023 to turn the country’s postal system into automated services as part of its digital transformation initiatives.
Increased internet penetration and changing consumer behavior are two factors that have contributed to the enormous growth in e-commerce in Iraq in recent years. Additionally, this change has increased Iraq’s need for trustworthy e-commerce platforms. LINK
