1 ENABLING AND SUSTAINING PRIVATE FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN IRAQ Draft Agenda for the Fourth Meeting of the Working Group on Investment Zones in Iraq Organised by the MENA-OECD INVESTMENT PROGRAMME In association with Jordan Investment Board November 2012 Intercontinental Hotel Amman, Jordan Amman, Jordan Piloting investment zones in Iraq

2 A workshop on the Iraqi economic zones (EZ) strategy was held at the OECD headquarters in Paris on November 25-26, 2010, at the request of the Iraqi National Investment Commission (NIC). The topics discussed included: economic zone models ranging from traditional export-processing areas to special economic zones; the Iraqi legal framework for economic zones; the status of existing zones; sector prioritization; EZ policy frameworks and incentives; and EZ management structures. The participants agreed on guidelines for the investment zone strategy, which the NIC would put together. These included target sectors in the pilot phase, the involvement of private capital in zone development, the establishment of a Department for Investment Zones in the NIC, and the formulation of an investment zone regulation based on the 2006 Investment Law. The first meeting of the Working Group on Investment Zones in Iraq (29-30 March 2011, Amman, Jordan), brought together NIC officials, the Jordan Enterprise Development Corporation (JEDCO), Shannon Development Corporation (Ireland), and a range of experts. Participants discussed the draft Investment Zones Strategy and key provisions in the Investment Zone Regulation, such as tax and customs incentives, the interconnection between onsite and off-site infrastructure, the delegation of powers to one-stop shops within zones, the relationship between investment zones, free zones, and industrial zones, and institutional arrangements and licensing procedures. The second meeting of the Working Group (23-24 November 2011, Istanbul, Turkey) centered on a MENA-OECD Investment Programme study of international good practices for attracting zone developers and users. OECD committed to developing the feasibility study terms of reference for two of the six planned pilot investment zones (Hatein and Baghdad International Airport). Based on the feasibility studies, the Programme will assist the NIC in targeting potential investors. The third meeting of the Working Group (June , Beirut, Lebanon) focused on an updated version of the good practice study and the results of preliminary OECD research into the Iraqi investment protection framework, which is one of the major determinants for attracting foreign investors as zone residents or even zone developers. Participants discussed the priorities for improving investor protection in the economy generally, and in investment zones in particular. Participants also explored in more detail, with experts, consultants, and investors, the possibility of attracting private investment for zone development. The presented draft terms of reference for the feasibility study of one of the pilot zones (Hatein), while Iraqi participants presented sector targeting plans for two others: Baghdad International Airport (telecommunications) and Diyala (tourism). The fourth meeting of the Working Group (11-12 November 2012, Amman, Jordan) will review the progress of the NIC towards the establishment of the Department for Investment Zones and preparation of the Hatein zone feasibility study. It will also provide a forum to discuss plans for the BIA and Diyala zones, using, inter alia, international good practices as a benchmark. Interactive training sessions on project finance and legal investment protection will allow participants to apply the relevant concepts to concrete cases and brainstorm optimal approaches.
