Prime Minister Mohammed Shia Al-Sudani reaffirmed his government’s continued support for the industrial sector, the modernisation of the banking system, and tighter oversight at border crossings to block the entry of substandard goods.
Speaking on Thursday at a ceremony held by the Iraqi Federation of Industries (IFI) to mark National Industry Day, the Prime Minister officially launched a national QR code platform for Iraqi industrial products. This digital initiative is intended to:
- Safeguard the authenticity of Iraqi goods
- Prevent the circulation of counterfeit products
- Strengthen the identity of local brands
- Prepare Iraqi goods for export through compliance with global supply chain standards
- Improve international market access
- Boost confidence in Iraqi manufacturing abroad
- Support economic growth and digitisation
- Accelerate digital transformation in production and retail
According to a press release, the initiative reflects the government’s broader strategy to revitalise local industry, improve trade standards, and align with international best practices in product verification and logistics.
