Additionally, memoranda of understanding were signed with specialized training institutions, and the Market participated in several Arab and international conferences related to capital markets. Within the framework of digital transformation and regional integration, the Market signed an agreement with the Tabadul platform, paving the way for ISX’s accession as a member of the digital trading platform. Tabadul is considered the first digital exchange platform in the region based on mutual market access. The platform extends to link member exchanges through a unified network, enabling local brokerage firms to seamlessly access markets within the trading network. This provides investors with broader investment opportunities across different markets and opens new horizons for cross-border investment.

As part of a joint cooperation initiative between the Iraq Stock Exchange and the Egyptian Exchange, and in coordination with EGID— the entity specialized in providing technical solutions and information services to the Egyptian Exchange— this collaboration focused on implementing specialized training programs for brokerage firms and the Online Management System (OMS). The initiative aimed to enhance operational efficiency, support knowledge transfer, and apply best practices in electronic trading. This cooperation reflects ISX’s commitment to strengthening regional partnerships and contributing to the development of market infrastructure. The Market also signed the Mira agreement, which contributed to ISX’s accession to a regional network comprising major Arab capital markets, including Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Muscat, Kuwait, Amman, and Beirut. This network enhances cooperation and exchange of expertise at the regional level.

Despite the operational and regulatory challenges faced during the year, the Iraq Stock Exchange achieved tangible progress in 2025 toward fulfilling its strategic objectives and laid solid foundations for sustainable growth and continuous development in the next phase.
