AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoEid al-Ghadir & ISX: Iraq Stock Exchange trading will pause next Thursday for Eid al-Ghadir, with activity resuming June 7, after June 4 was set as an official day off. Road-trip costs & safety: Iraqi motorists are reporting more vehicle breakdowns and higher repair bills linked to poor gasoline quality, as mechanics say low-grade fuel can damage engines and reduce performance. Holy cities rebound: Najaf and Karbala are slowly getting back on their feet after the US-Israeli war on Iran, with airports and crossings reopening and pilgrims returning—though foreign visitor numbers are still below target. Pilgrimage travel reality: Najaf airport is handling far fewer flights than before the conflict, and local officials say recovery is incomplete as tourism infrastructure and visitor demand rebuild. Kurdistan tourism & sports: Despite funding hurdles, Iraq’s Kurdistan Region will host the Asia Cup archery tournament in October, and Erbil is also seeing Eid festival crowds. Travel planning tip: If you’re visiting during Eid periods, expect uneven transport schedules and hotel demand as religious travel continues to normalize.
