Abstract

Doğrudan Yabancı
Yatırımlar (DYY),  gelişmiş ve gelişmekte
olan ülkelerde önemli bir ekonomik büyüme kaynağı olarak görülmektedir. Kuzey
Irak Bölgesel Yönetimi, kalkınma ivmesini artırmak amacıyla bölgeye mümkün
olduğu kadar yabancı yatırımcıları çekmek için elverişli bir yatırım ortamı oluşturmayı
planlamıştır.

Bu çalışma, yabancı
yatırımcıların bölgedeki tarım sektörüne yatırım yapmasını engelleyen temel
engelleri veya faktörleri değerlendirmektedir. Çalışmada bölgenin tarım
sektörüne olan yatırımların genel bir değerlendirmesinin yanı sıra, özellikle
de 2006-2016 döneminde DYY'nin bölgede son on yılda neden önemli ölçüde
artmadığının temel nedenlerini de değerlendirilmektedir.

EVALUATION OF FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTS IN AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN NORTHERN IRAQ

Abstract

Foreign
Direct Investment
(FDI), considered as a significant source of economic growth in both developed
and developing countries. In Northern Iraq, it is planned to make a friendly
investment environment to attract FDI as much as possible toward its region to
enhance development acceleration.

This study evaluates
the main obstacles or factors that deter foreign investors from investing in
the region’s agricultural sector. In the study, in addition to a general
assessment of the investments in the agricultural sector of the region, the
main reasons for the fact that FDI has not increased significantly in the last
decade in the region in the 2006-2016 period is also evaluated.
