Shafaq News / President of Kurdistan Region, Nechirvan Barzani predicted on Monday that the market will improve and provide job opportunities in Kurdistan region in the near future.

Barzani said in a speech at the opening of "Rwanga Foras" exhibition in the capital Erbil today, "It is my pleasure that more than 150 companies participate in this exhibition, which will provide more than 1,700 jobs for young people in the region."

"If one job is offered, this is very important because it gives hope in life," he said.

 “After 2003, Kurdistan Region has made great stages of reconstruction and economy, and provided tens of thousands of jobs for young people in different sectors,” Barzani added.

He stressed that "if it wasn’t for the war against ISIS and the successive crises, the situation in Kurdistan region would have been better than ever, and there would have been hundreds of thousands of jobs."
