The Secretary-General of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, Hamid Hosseini, on Sunday, the decline of Iranian exports to Iraq during the past month, indicating that the average Iranian exports to Iraq amounted to about 750 million dollars a month.
"Iran's exports to Iraq failed to reach a satisfactory level last January, which fell by 510 million dollars," Hosseini was quoted as saying by the Fars news agency.
He pointed out that "the volume of Iranian exports to Iraq in 2018 amounted to $ 8.75 billion, as Iran made Turkey's exports to Iraq."
"There are two reasons for this progress on Turkey, the first was the holidays during the month of January, and the second is the return of foreign currency gained through exports."
"But during some months last year 2018, Iran's exports to Iraq amounted to 900 million dollars, but the overall export rate is 750 million dollars, while the Turkish exports amounted to 8.3 billion dollars in 2017 and 7.35 billion dollars in 2018," Hosseini said.
"The export of goods may decline this year," he said. "The export of goods at any moment may face a problem and stop, but the export of services will continue, so we must strengthen our contribution to the export of Iraqi services."
