Beirut, Lebanon -- (SBWire) -- 05/08/2014 --Dating back to thousands of years now, Iraq is a pre-historic country that is at the moment working furiously to rebuild itself. Plagues by decades of wars, economic sanctions and neglect, Iraq is left with a severe housing shortage. Pre-dating to the “Saddam-Era”, housing shortage has gone from bad to worse with new construction unable to keep up with demand coming from a surging population and the obsolescence of existing dwellings. Iraqi population growth stands at 2.9% annually, and the lack of construction since 1997 to date, widened the housing deficit from 350,000 to 3 million units shortage. The government is now taking aggressive steps in the pursuit of closing this gap. However, ongoing bad press coverage of the country’s security and political turmoil has not been helping in attracting sufficient investments to the sector.
