Weekly trading value on the Iraq Stock Exchange falls more than 63 percent

According to the Iraq Stock Exchange weekly report published on Sunday, 2 August 2026, the value of trading on the market fell more than 63 percent from the previous week to 17.46 billion Iraqi dinars (about 13.3 million dollars).

Trading took place over five sessions involving 69 listed companies. Shares in 26 companies did not trade because buy and sell orders failed to match, and eight companies remained suspended for failing to meet disclosure requirements. The exchange's fifteen share index closed at 1,267.67 points, down 0.17 percent, while the broader sixty share index slipped 0.30 percent to 1,041.07 points.

Weekly trading volume dropped 67.90 percent and the total value of trades declined 63.62 percent, while the number of executed transactions rose 3.41 percent, an indication that the fall came mainly from the absence of large trades. The Iraq Stock Exchange holds five trading sessions each week, from Sunday to Thursday, and lists 104 Iraqi joint stock companies.
