Iraq Housing Development Summit

Iraq is fighting a housing crisis brought about by the lack of development and large-scale destruction in the sector over the past 30 years. With up to $300 billion earmarked to fund housing projects, the Iraqi government and provincial leaders have planned an unprecedented number of projects. The government estimates that 3 million new homes need to be built over the next 5 years – we need your input to make this target and reality! This high-level strategic summit currently in development will bring your expertise together with other ministers, government bodies, and senior executives from foreign private development companies to meet housing development service providers and suppliers to discuss strategies and opportunities for growth in the booming Iraqi housing development market. I am presently welcoming proposals for sessions from experts that cover an area you feel is relevant to the following broad topics:

• The economic and political situation in Iraq
