IRAQ/KURDISTAN REGION

The political and security environment in Iraq remains volatile and provides a host of uncertainities. Nevertheless, the country still offers the largest greenfield investment opportunity in the world. Certus has offices in Baghdad, Basra and Erbil and is currently advising on potential security risks, possible political risks to your business and the key players and influence actors in the country. Additionally, Certus provides unique insight on Iraq's oil bidding rounds and disputes between Baghdad and the KRG over oil and gas contracts.

LIBYA

Libya's economy is well positioned for a resurgence following the successful toppling of the former regime. International investors have already made overtures toward the new interim government in order to have that strategic and competitive edge over rivals. Certus has sent teams to Benghazi and Tripoli to establish contact with the National Transitional Council and, in addition to providing regular political and security updates, is currently advising on travel to Libya, engaging with the now internationally recognised opposition government and identifying key actors and the political dynamics of the new government.

SOUTH SUDAN

The newly independent oil rich state of South Sudan will mobilise 500 billion dollars worth of investment for infrastructure development in the next decade. Certus is sending a team to Juba to engage with the government and determine the political, security and economic environment.

THE GULF

Certus is well positioned to advise on various sectors in the Gulf region and provide market entry reports, diversification strategies and insight into key government institutions and figures.
