ABSTRACT
The research aims at studying the diagnosis and analysis of the reality of the investment environment in Iraq and to identify the factors influencing it, through the study of risk assessment indicators in attracting investment to the Iraqi economy during the period 2004-2020. The research focuses on the risk indicators that are represented by: the composite risk index that includes all economic risk indexes, financial risk index, political risk index, macro risk index and the Covas risk index. The purpose of analyzing these indicators in order to know and evaluate the risks of the investment environment that foreign investments may be exposed to and favor the investment decision among investors. The research reached the main conclusion that the high degree of risk (security, economic, administrative, political and social) negatively affected the investment environment in Iraq and made it an investment-repelling environment, which led to a decrease in the investment attraction rate and the reluctance of many investors to direct their investments towards Iraq, with the exception of the oil sector because of the huge profits it obtains foreign investor and companies. Therefore, the research recommends addressing the imbalances in risk assessment indicators in Iraq and finding solutions to some of them in order to encourage the flow of foreign investments and secure them against risks.
