Summary/Abstract: Foreign trade has become an important feature in transforming the relationship between different countries. In recent years Iraq’s foreign trade has excelled and it currently represents more than 73% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) suggesting an openness to trade. However, none of the studies related to foreign trade have explored Iraq’s international trade. This paper attempts to explore the intricacies of Iraq’s trade with the other countries. The trends in bilateral trades and trade intensity for the period between 2007-2017 with few chosen countries are investigated. This study throws light on the Iraq’s untapped potential to develop as a major player in an international trade.
