Baghdad, June 2020 – As part of Ipsos’ ongoing commitment to deliver fast, high- quality data while bringing the best of science, technology and know-how to its clients, Ipsos in MENA introduced a new online access panel in Iraq. Adhering to sample quality, the panel was officially launched in May, pertaining to 8,000 panelists and fully operational in all major cities in Iraq in both Arabic and Kurdish languages.
Iraq is the latest addition to Ipsos Interactive Services’ (IIS) MENA panel which already covers Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan, Morocco and Kuwait, with a total number of 650,000 panelists.
Advances in technology and increased access to the internet, coupled with the cycle time benefits that online research provides, have made it a viable option in the MENA region today.
