Shafaq News- Baghdad
Trading activity on Iraq’s stock market surged last week,
with the value of shares exchanged surpassing 7.529 billion Iraqi dinars
($5.79M), according to data from the Iraq Stock Exchange on Monday.
Out of 104 listed firms, 68 recorded trading activity, while

companies remained suspended over missing disclosure requirements.
Total traded shares reached 17.743 billion, marking a 352%
increase compared with the previous week. The value of executed transactions
rose 23% week-on-week, across 5,976 deals.
Market performance showed modest gains, with the ISX60 index
closing at 987.37 points, up 0.44% from the previous session.
Foreign investor activity reflected mixed flows. Purchases
totaled 7 million shares worth 42 million Iraqi dinars ($30K) through 31
transactions, while sales reached 22 million shares valued at 97 million Iraqi
dinars ($80K) across 87 transactions.
Operating five sessions per week from Sunday through

banking, telecommunications, industry, agriculture, insurance, investment,
tourism, hotels, and services sectors.
