Is the "Bloomberg of Baghdad" finally a reality? 🇮🇶☕️

In Episode 90 of Majlis & Markets, we sit down with Jameel Amir, the co-founder and host of the Tajarib podcast. Jameel is doing more than just creating content; he is architecting the "knowledge infrastructure" Iraq desperately needs.

His mission? To build a high-trust, digital-first powerhouse that provides the institutional weight of Bloomberg or CNBC, curated specifically for the Iraqi economy.

Jameel shares his journey from a social media intern at The Station to becoming one of the most recognised and influential business voices in the country. We dive deep into why the Iraqi economy is at a historic turning point and which sectors—from Fintech to B2B Logistics—are poised to lead the digital transformation in 2026.

In this episode, you will learn:

• 🚀 The Institutional Gap: Why Iraq needs a "Bloomberg" style resource for market intelligence right now.
• 🏗️ The Baghdad Tech Surge: A deep dive into the startup ecosystem and its 2026 growth drivers.
• 💰 The Funding Reality: Navigating the gap between venture capital interest and local legal barriers.
• ⚽ The World Cup Effect: How national pride is translating into real business sentiment and FDI interest.
