Baghdad Investment Authority issues new rules for housing unit sales

BAGHDAD, Iraq — The Baghdad Investment Authority has introduced new regulations governing the sale of apartments and housing units within investment-licensed residential projects in the capital. The rules, set out in circular No. 3205 issued on June 19, 2026, require investment companies operating in Baghdad to comply with updated instructions on housing sales. The authority said the decision was prompted by recurring complaints from citizens participating in residential projects. It added that the new framework builds on the outcomes of recent meetings with beneficiaries' representatives and senior officials. The authority also said legal and administrative procedures would continue to be refined and new oversight mechanisms developed to protect the rights of those involved in housing projects. No further details on the specific provisions of the circular were immediately available.
