Iraq · · Economy · Developing · 2 sources

Communications Minister Mustafa Jabbar Sanad disclosed the ministry's target of up to $500 million in income from international data transit contracts running through Iraqi territory. He made the announcement on Thursday.

Iraq's economy relies heavily on oil exports, so successive governments have sought to build other sources of income.
