So the Generations Fund is the HCL?  Sweet Jesus, please make it so! 🙏🙏🙏

I dont believe they are the same. My understanding is the generations fund is money set aside for future use to help future generations. These funds do partly come from Oil sales but I don't believe they are connected. I could be wrong though, not real sure.

This is just my opinion. This is not the HCL, that is a stand alone piece of legislation but if and when we ever see the hcl it involves profit sharing for all Iraqi citizens to get paid based on oil sales. Just like all people in Alaska get a small check for oil sales. IMO this law is more closely related to and linked to the hcl than the budget law which gets celebrated as being the hcl dozens of times a year in dinarland every time a new one is negotiated and worked on. This law reads to me like they are getting things in order to profit share with the citizens from oil sales...thus we might be close to them legislating the hydrocarbon law. I believe this can will continue to be kicked until we see reforms involving their currency.

ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iraq on Wednesday held a US-funded finance conference to discuss economic policy and the promotion of electronic banking services across the country, as well as providing broader business opportunities in the financial sector. Several officials, including the US ambassador, were among the attendees.
 
The two-day Iraq Finance Expo was opened at Baghdad’s Al Rasheed Hotel on Wednesday, in coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) and the Ministry of Finance, to allow access to new business opportunities in financial and banking sectors as well as financial technology and digital transformation in the country.
 
Iraq’s White Paper, a series of economic reforms introduced by the government in October, “identifies Iraq’s oil-dependent state-dominated command economy and weak private sector as central economic problems,” Ambassador Matthew Tueller said during the conference, reaffirming the US assistance to Iraq in its journey of rebuilding itself from years of war.
 
In the financial sector, the monopoly of Rasheed and Rafidain bank, and Trade Bank of Iraq “which holds 85% percent of deposits” was identified as an issue by the US official.
 
The Iraqi Central Bank announced in early February that it has given permission for a “first of its kind” electronic banking service to be rolled out across the country over the next few years. The new service seeks to revolutionize the way Iraqis spend money by providing an alternative to the cash economy currently prevalent across the country. 
 
Similar projects as part of a growing financial technology industry have been hugely successful across the world in countries where the cash economy was entrenched. In Kenya, M-Pesa, a mobile phone-based money transfer, payments, and financing service launched in 2007 has expanded into neighboring countries. 
 
However, the Iraqi banking system riddled with bureaucracy only allows for citizens to open bank accounts in person and only after offering documents and going through a cumbersome process.
 
Only 23 percent of Iraqi households have access to an account at a financial institution, one of the lowest levels in the Arab world, according to data from the World Bank.  
 
Most companies in Iraq still operate in cash, with only 26 percent using the formal banking system. Roughly 98% of employers pay in hard currency and nearly half pay their suppliers that way.

The banking sector is heading to digitize its business... Will it restore confidence with the citizen?

Towards digitizing the banking work, the Central Bank is taking steps supported by the Ministry of Finance, and this step is seen as being in the framework of developing the services provided to the citizen, as well as encouraging the insurance sector to be the support for these works.
 

Simultaneously with that, assertions are mounting on the need to restore the citizen's confidence in the banking sector, which is a very important matter that the competent government agencies are heading to achieve.

After a state of inactivity hit the banking sector in Iraq And made it lagging compared to international banks, work is currently underway to adopt modern technological means to achieve an expected breakthrough in this field.
