Exclusive Analysis Client Case Study:
We were commissioned to assess the likelihood of a telecommunications licence renewal by the Iraqi government. The client also wished to better understand the level of government interference in the Iraqi telecommunications sector in the three-year outlook.
By engaging our in-country sources and expert sector analysts, we found that the company in question was politically popular with the then current administration. Key personnel were very well connected with government. However, our investigations also highlighted that since contracts were manifestly awarded on political rather than financial grounds, that there was an increased risk to contract security.
