Until recently, Turkey appeared to be the player who had gained the most from the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. By 2013, Turkey’s trade with Iraq amounted to $11.9 billion, making Iraq Turkey’s second largest trading partner. The first five months of 2014, exports to Iraq had already equaled to $5.4 billion, an increase of 11%. This relationship is not only significant because of exports, but when compared to trade with Germany, Turkey’s largest trading partner, with exports equal to $13.3 billion and imports equal to $24.1 billion, Turkey only imports $200 million from Iraq, thus tilting the balance in Turkey’s favor. More than 1,500 Turkish companies operate throughout Iraq and export a wide array of goods such as furniture, diapers, milk, pipes and doors.
