The Iraq stock market growth accelerated notably in the first week of August 2025. Investors fueled trading volumes to impressive highs, increasing both value and market confidence. From August 3 to August 7, trades exceeded 16 billion Iraqi dinars.

Likewise, the ISX15 index, which tracks the top 15 companies, rose to 1,127.47 points — a gain of 5.20% from 1,068.87 points at the week’s start.

The strong Iraq stock market growth signals renewed optimism among investors. Analysts point to increased liquidity and solid corporate earnings as major drivers. Furthermore, improved investor strategies contributed to the positive momentum.
