Kurdistan 24 – French Consul General advocates for increased investment in Kurdistan Region

French Consul General in Erbil Yann Braem has expressed interest in increasing French investment in the Kurdistan Region, citing the region’s “favorable economic environment”, according to Kurdistan 24. Braem announced a joint forum between French and Kurdish authorities to boost investment and regional support. The call for more French investment comes despite a range of well-documented investment risks in the region, with the US State Department recently warning that “KRG officials frequently engaged in corrupt practices with impunity.”
