Iraq Stock Exchange records strong trading activity

The Iraq Stock Exchange recorded strong trading activity last week, with a total value that crossed 14 billion Iraqi Dinars. The market showed clear energy as investors increased both the number of trades and the overall value. This rise in market movement gave new confidence to companies and traders who rely on daily market signals. The phrase “Iraq Stock Exchange” stood at the center of attention as both local and foreign investors pushed activity forward.

The total number of shares traded reached more than 23.5 billion, which marked a huge jump from the previous week. This sharp increase showed a 570 percent rise, which reflected growing market interest. In addition, the financial value of transactions reached over 14.28 billion Dinars, which meant a 95 percent increase in one week. These numbers clearly proved that the Iraq Stock Exchange gained new strength in its latest session.

Furthermore, 56 companies out of 104 listed joined the trading movement. Investors closed 3,670 deals, showing that participation covered a wide range of sectors. Banks, communication firms, agricultural businesses, insurance companies, and industrial players all took part. The Iraq Stock Exchange thus reflected the diverse structure of the Iraqi economy.

However, the main price index, ISX60, closed slightly lower at 960.40 points. This small fall of 0.54 percent showed that, while trading volume rose, some price adjustments followed. Still, the overall performance confirmed healthy momentum.

Foreign investors also joined the action. They bought 260 million shares with a total value of 638 million Dinars. At the same time, they sold 399 million shares worth 842 million Dinars. This flow of international funds kept the Iraq Stock Exchange connected with wider financial movements in the region.

The stock market continues to run five sessions every week, from Sunday until Thursday. Each week offers opportunities for 104 Iraqi companies to show results, build investor trust, and connect with both local and foreign buyers. The Iraq Stock Exchange has become a vital center for business, trade, and growth in Iraq.
