Investment licences
This register holds 768 investment licences from the lists of the National Investment Commission and the Baghdad Investment Commission. For each licence it gives the project, the licensee, the place, the body that holds the land, the stated cost and how far the work has gone, as the licensing body recorded them. The stated cost of these licences is about $79.6 billion. That figure is what the licensees declared, not money that was spent.
