AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Iran Connections: Iraqi Airways has resumed daily direct flights from Najaf to Tehran, Mashhad and Isfahan after a seven-month suspension, restoring routes used by religious pilgrims, medical patients and students under a US sanctions waiver. Travel Costs: The dinar’s official rate has fallen from 1,320 to 1,520 per US dollar, raising costs for visitors; Kurdistan airports are set to sell travel dollars at the official rate. Tourism Growth: Iraq welcomed a record 10 million tourists in 2025, though religious tourism accounts for only a small share of government revenue.
