Darin Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 These articles can be hard to read/understand.... What it looks to say here is that the economy is struggling because the banking sector is lacking the modern technology to conduct transactions. With a reduction of electronic transfers, transactions, etc., the banking industry is hurting which impacts the economy. I would imagine the banking industry needs more focus to help the strains on the economy... I don't read about that too much in the media articles posted about progress, but more so the lack of progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue horseshoe Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thats only half the problem - Iraqis do not use banks the way we use banks. They know their system is and has been corrupt for decades. The banks, as a whole are very untrustworthy. The Iraqis like to keep their cash with them, or should I say dollars. We need them to de-dollarize, then have them use their own currency and trust their own banks. I believe that is what Shabbibi is trying to do....

KamelKeeper Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 I would think this problem would extend to ISX. Are they cranking out exchanges with abacuses? Does anyone know, and if not, I will do some research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
