REUTERS - Foreign investors see robust 2012 for Iraq's bourse


But foreign investors, who were net buyers and snapped up $150 million worth of shares on the local bourse this year, say the latest political turmoil and security concerns have done little to affect their appetite for the frontier bourse.
"We are still committed to the Iraqi market ... our views won't change just because of what is happening now," said Sherif Salem, a portfolio manager with Invest AD, an Abu Dhabi investment company that has invested $18 million in the ISX since November 2010.
"We are probably counting on investing more money towards the beginning of next year when the market opens, so it (the current situation) does not change our outlook," he said.

AND THE WAVES BEGINS !

The top thread is “CNBC’s Jim Cramer is High on Iraq Investment & ETF Dinar Fund.
Clearly, investing in Iraq is a hot subject and investors are eyeing opportunities as the U.S. declares the war there officially over.
Impact investors have a slew of other investment considerations. Impact investors typically seek to make private investments in social enterprises that aim to do good and provide a financial return.

For others, sure, go ahead and create an exchange-traded fund based on the price of the dinar, or on the Iraq Stock Exchange (where listings, by the way, have grown dramatically since the U.S. invasion and effective takeover). Private investors can seek out their own brand of investments there, too. We should hope that they just make sure investments there are sustainable.
If there is anything Iraq needs, it’s sustainability — in a good way — after such a prolonged period of unsustainable recourse

Following times of conflict there generally dawns a period where those with the necessary resources can make billions. Iraq is just entering such a period
The IMF has already projected that the Iraqi economy could grow at a faster pace than China or India over the next two to three years. It is the perfect time to invest and help create a well balanced, modern country, as well as secure a stake in the worlds fourth largest oil reserves.
