Iraq: Opening new outlets prevented the Iraqi market from being affected by the security implications

from being affected by the Iraqi security implications, which reduced significantly the entry of goods from the Nineveh and Anbar provinces outlets.

The ministry’s spokesman , Abdul Zahra al-Hindawi told “Shafaq News", that "The entry of goods across Trebil and al-Waleed outlets and some ports in Nineveh became vacillating because of the security situation, this volatility was compensated through opening new outlets with Iran."

Hindawi said that "the ports, which were opened with Iran prevented the Iraqi market from being affected by the irregular entry of goods from Nineveh and Anbar provinces."

Most of the Iraqi traders depend on importing goods from Jordan and Syria through al-Waleed and Trebil ports in Anbar province, which is witnessing an ongoing battles between government forces and elements of ISIS since last February.

Iraqi economy has declined over the past six months, since the control of ISIS organization on large parts of Diyala , Anbar, Salahuddin and Nineveh provinces, while the federal budget was reduced 123 trillion dinars after it was expected before the events of Mosul to exceed 160 trillion.
