Iraq will receive billions of dollars in credit lines, loans and investment from Turkey, Gulf Arab allies, Europe and other countries, their representatives have announced at a conference to help Iraq rebuild after the devastating war against Islamic State.
Kuwait will give $US1 billion ($A1.4 billion) in loans and $US1 billion in direct investments, a stunning donation as only a generation ago Saddam Hussein invaded the small, oil-rich nation.
Turkey said on Wednesday it would give Iraq $US5 billion in credit lines.
Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry said his country was providing a $US1 billion loan through its Saudi Fund for Development and $US500 million in export credit.
Qatar announced $US1 billion in loans and investments while the United Arab Emirates pledged $US500 million for rebuilding.
Germany said it would provide $US350 million in assistance.
Britain pledged up to $US1 billion annually in export credit over 10 years and Japan said it would contribute $US100 million this year to Iraq through UN agencies and international organisations.
European Union's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, promised 200 million euros ($A314 million).
UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Anwar Gargash later tweeted there was also $US5.5 billion from the UAE in private investments in Iraq "in addition" to his country's pledge but it was not clear if this was a new announcement.
Kuwait's offer by the country's ruling emir, Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah, shows the deep interest his nation has in making sure Iraq becomes a peaceful, stable country after the war against the Islamic State group and the chaos that followed the 2003 US-led invasion of Baghdad.
"Iraq cannot commence the mission of rebuilding itself without support, which is why we are all here today from all around the world, to stand by Iraq's side," Sheikh Sabah said.
Overall, Iraq is seeking $US88.2 billion in aid from donors.
