  10. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/1/23/iraqi-pm-replaces-central-bank-governor-over-currency-drop#:~:text=Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al,-Allaq%2C the agency added. US ‘scrutinising foreign transfers’ Analysts and officials say the drop in value coincides with efforts to make Iraq’s banking system compliant with the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) international electronic transfer system. Muzhar Saleh, an adviser to the prime minister, previously told AFP news agency that these steps, which began in mid-November, were required to access Iraqi funds held in the US. Iraqi banks must now make “transfers on an electronic platform, verify the requests … and if it [the US Federal Reserve] has doubts, it blocks the transfer”, he explained. Safwan Abdulhalim, an economist, said it is clear that the US Federal Reserve is “scrutinising foreign transfers from Iraq, especially to those countries unfriendly with the US such as Iran, Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen”. “Consequently, Iraq’s daily wire transfers from the US have been cut from $240m to only $22m on a day,” he told Al Jazeera. Some Iran-backed politicians in Iraq have blamed the drop on recent measures by the US Treasury. The United States has sanctioned several Iraqi banks dealing mainly with Iran, which is under US sanctions, amid concerns that hard currency is being routed from Iraq to Iran. Late last year, the US Federal Reserve began taking measures on transactions to slow the flow of dollars into Iraq.
