Financial Performance Highlights

Internal Growth Drivers Selected Economic Indicators Iraqi market presents a significant growth opportunity Growing Oil Production and Capacity Iraq's daily oil production capacity has grown by over 50% in the last 6 years, contributing to ~16% of total OPEC production up from an average of 10% previously. Despite periods of political instability and lower oil prices, this will remain a stable/ recurring income source for Iraq. This was also strengthened by recent devaluation of IQD. Oil Production, Daily Avg (million barrels) +52% 4.4 4.6 4.4 4.8 4.6 5 3.0 0 Jan-14 Jan-15 Jan-16 Jan-17 Jan-18 Jan-19 Jan-20 Role of non-oil sector key to sustainability Recent devaluation of the IQD strengthened the financial positioning and ability to cover salaries and internal IQD commitments. Oil related government revenue however, is not nearly enough to sustain investments in infrastructure and other non-salary spending needs. Foreign currency reserves historically remain strong (covering ~13 months of imports), given continuous money flow from oil & gas. However, reliance on funding from state-owned banks to cover deficits continues. Overall, there remains major challenges within the structure of the economy. Increased investment and more effective execution in non-oil sectors are critical. Sources: OPEC, World Bank, Central Bank of Iraq Significant room for GDP growth Fluctuating GDP, with political instability and economic weakness continuing to impact economic growth potential.

Indicating significant room for growth in the long-term. Significant infrastructure needs Iraqi government requires at least $100b in reconstruction & infrastructure projects, which will continue to drive growth and solidify the role of the private sector and foreign investor community. With gaps in critical defensive sectors such as healthcare, FMCG & education. Increased appetite from foreign markets Iraq is attracting increased amount of funding lines and financial support from DFI's, investors and governments. With increased appetite for US denominated government bonds. Ability to mitigate risk through international insurers such as MIGA, will further drive private sector investments. Large young population, tech driven Over 50% of Iraq's ~40m population falls in the working population age bracket. Demand and spending to continue to increase. Clear opportunity for digitization and technological innovation across sectors. Entrepreneurship hubs and accelerators are starting to develop, to cater for ambitious concepts coming to the market. Improving local expertise Initially limited involvement of local entities in the oil & gas/ EPC, as well as other strategic sectors. Recently however the trend is reversing with Iraqi companies gaining technical expertise leading to a new opportunity of subcontracting for large global players. 18
