Chairman’s Letter

“From a small operation three decades ago in Erbil, I have been honoured to witness Mihtab Holding grow to become a thriving and prosperous organisation that it is today.
The past few years have been enormously challenging for the world’s economy, as well as for the Iraqi economy, whereby long-lasting conflicts have been faced. Despite those wavering economic times, Mihtab Holding has continued to nurture at a significant pace, and with impressive accomplishments.
Mihtab Holding has arisen from one of the oldest continuously populated habitats in the history of mankind, which is also an area that has witnessed monumental growth over the years. That is why Mihtab Holding is proud of its legacy and its continued determination to fulfil its obligation of contributing in the development of the region through pioneering business endeavours.
At Mihtab Holding, we look forward with a progressive and inspirational strategy. Through our vision, we see great potentials that move forward our operations in Iraq or our new regional office in Dubai, where we will continue to advance our business with new partnerships, investments and exploring emerging business interests within the Middle East and the entire world.
As the Chairman of Mihtab Holding, I will continue to perceive challenges as opportunities for growth, and with a positive mind-set I see the future filled with limitless prospects, as the company continues to grow with inherent strength.
