Iraq Expects $30bn 
Investment in 2011

Iraq expects private investment in its economy to triple to $30 billion [36 trillion Iraqi dinars] this year, as energy, agriculture and housing projects accelerate now that the country has formed a new government, a senior government official said on Tuesday.

Investment exceeded $10 billion last year, Salar Mohammed Ameen, vice chairman of the National Investment Commission (NIC), told Reuters on the sidelines of an energy conference in Istanbul.

Some $4 billion of investment will be in Iraq's electricity sector, Ameen said.
