A Research on the Economic Integration of the Kurdistan Region and the Eurozone Countries: The Place and Importance of International Trade Companies

Toptancî, Alî (2024): A Research on the Economic Integration of the Kurdistan Region and the Eurozone Countries: The Place and Importance of International Trade Companies.

Abstract

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of international trade companies in the Kurdistan Region. This is crucial evidence that the Kurdistan Region can influence the world economy and politics. The economic integration between the Kurdistan Region and Eurozone countries is the result of international companies in the Kurdistan Region in Eurozone countries; investment, production, and trade show that the international division of labor and economic integration will be more robust between the Kurdistan Region and Eurozone countries and that this economic integration can be significant in world trade. The study will examine the economic integration between the Kurdistan Region, which has recently achieved significant agricultural production and export momentum, and the Eurozone countries. Accordingly, the study states that the agricultural products produced in the Kurdistan Region will be essential for both parties politically and economically and will provide many advantages as international trade companies established in the Kurdistan Region integrate with the Eurozone countries and enter the Eurozone markets. International economic research and analyses that have been conducted for a long time indicate that international trade companies in the Kurdistan Region will strongly impact the worldwide development of economic integration with Eurozone countries.
