U.S. investments in Kurdistan have surged to nearly $500 million, according to new data released by regional officials.
The growth reflects strong ties between the United States and the Kurdistan Region, which continue to deepen.
As a result, Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani is preparing to travel to Washington.
He plans to meet senior U.S. officials to discuss economic growth, regional stability, and strategic cooperation.
According to Bargah Akrai, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Board of Investment, four major U.S. projects are active in the Region.
These projects have a combined value of $120 million and focus on housing, education, trade, and industry.
Additionally, Akrai revealed the existence of three joint U.S.-Kurdistan ventures, worth a total of $370 million.
These projects have already been implemented and include key infrastructure and industrial components.
Beyond investments, U.S. trade ties with Kurdistan are also expanding significantly.
In just five months, 31 companies imported U.S. goods valued at over $15 million.
Nawzad Sheikh Kamil, Director General at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, confirmed the imported items.
He said they included vaccines, lab supplies, and high-tech equipment from American suppliers.
Clearly, the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) continues to open doors for foreign businesses and global partnerships.
Officials have streamlined regulations to attract capital in energy, health, tech, and logistics.
These policies are now bearing fruit, with U.S. investments in Kurdistan playing a central role in economic transformation.
International investors are increasingly viewing the Region as a stable, business-friendly environment.
As Barzani visits Washington, expectations are high for new agreements and additional U.S. investments in Kurdistan.
This partnership promises mutual benefits, especially in innovation, security, and sustainable development.
