Iraq’s Ministry of Communications announced on Saturday a major leap in internet usage over the last five years.
The ministry said that, based on official data from the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the penetration reached a record 82.9% of the population by the end of 2024, up from just 44.3% in 2019.
It affirmed a commitment to launching additional development initiatives and infrastructure projects in partnership with both public and private sectors, aimed at advancing Iraq’s digital transformation and building a modern, integrated telecommunications network.
