Trading in Iraq
International forex and CFD trading for Iraqi traders is conducted through offshore platforms — the Iraq Securities Commission (ISC) oversees the Iraq Stock Exchange but does not regulate retail CFD brokers. FCA, ASIC and CySEC-regulated platforms are the most trusted choices. Cryptocurrency deposits (USDT) are the primary funding method for many Iraqi traders given limited international banking access.
Iraq has a young, growing population with strong interest in gold and oil CFDs — highly relevant given the country's resource economy. Islamic (swap-free) accounts are essential for Iraq's Muslim-majority population. For CFD-specific options, see our guide to the best CFD brokers in Iraq.
