At the end of war world II, the Iraqi Finance Ministry decided to adopt the Indian model for companies/commercial license registration, which later was passed over to the newly created Ministry of Economy and then to the Ministry of Trade under Act 55 in 1959. One of the main tasks of this organization was to register commercial businesses and companies but under a completely legislated Iraqi Act that replaced the Indian Model under Act 31 in 1957 which then was amended in 1983 under Act 36 to keep the pace with the vast economic and political changes in Iraq. After the fall of regime in 2003 and the changes in the political system, another amendment was required to create Act 64 in 2004 to serve the new political and economic changes.

In every country, the existence of an organization that is responsible for registering commercial businesses and companies will have a purpose with many benefits and advantages including:

·        Establishment of a complete record and database of type, number, size and origin of each registered business, which later can be used as economic indicators for growth and development.
·        Creating a new source of earning for the Government in terms of taxes imposed on every business or commercial license.
·        Encouraging and motivating people to open and start small businesses that are the foundation of the private sector and a major pillar for the capital economy.
·        Encourage foreign investments and international large corporations to establish a presence in the country that will lead to new employment opportunities, and large financial resources and hence strong buying power of people and more economic gains and benefits. Such factors are collected, standardized and published yearly by an international institution like The World Bank in a report called “Doing Business Report” to identify which country is more open and attractive to business and commercial activities. 

Therefore, the new Iraqi government has taken major steps through its “Government Program” to open the country to foreign investments and businesses by legislating and amending a series of laws and regulations and improving business processes and procedures that will diminish bureaucracy and routine. Such courageous and important steps will improve Iraq’s position in The World Bank report and hence improve the country’s economic and political reputation internationally.
This project or initiative is the first of many initiatives in the “Government Program” that are part of economic and business reforms and government’s strategy to fight all type of corruptions and bureaucracy, which affect directly every corner of life of citizens and the community in general. At the end of war world II, the Iraqi Finance Ministry decided to adopt the Indian model for companies/commercial license registration, which later was passed over to the newly created Ministry of Economy and then to the Ministry of Trade under Act 55 in 1959.
