New Vision Approved for Baghdad Metro Project Execution


Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa Al-Sudani has directed the completion of all procedural requirements for the Baghdad Metro project under a revised implementation framework.

During a high-level meeting on Sunday with the Head of the Iraq Development Fund, the Mayor of Baghdad, and the Prime Minister's Advisor, the PM reviewed a new strategic approach for delivering the capital's long-awaited metro system.

According to a press release from the Prime Minister's Office, previous company bids were rejected, prompting a shift in strategy toward a global best-practice model.

It added that the revised plan entails forming partnerships between the Iraqi government and both local and international investors, with execution to be carried out by world-class firms. The approach includes integrated development across infrastructure, consultancy, transit systems, and environmental, social, and economic assessments.

Al-Sudani emphasised the importance of the metro as a critical infrastructure project and instructed stakeholders to finalise related consultancy studies in preparation for further decisions at the next meeting.
