He added that Iraq is still facing major challenges, at various economic levels, including depriving the Iraqi private banking sector of using the dollar, which has exceeded half the number of banks operating inside the country, which is a very dangerous indicator, despite the efforts of Iraqi governmental and private institutions to comply with laws against money laundering and terrorist financing. Local and international, adding: But for the first time we are witnessing a clear targeting of the sector, which has begun to affect banking services within the country, undermine citizen confidence, and hinder the expansion of financial inclusion.

  Wow, Mary B ,what great news you bring us! No doubt the participation of banks is crucial to the rv/ri . Financial sovereignty for Iraq is happening because sanctions are being lifted . Iraq has finessed its way beautifully throughout this whole middle east mess .  Pew Institute did an analysis years ago concerning Iraqis , and found that overall  Iraqis prove to be a very intelligent group.  It wasn't too long ago that two thirds of Iraq was under Isis control . Young Iraqi adults have yet to see a peaceful , prosperous  Iraq . It's time something good happens for them.

Wadih Al-Handal

IN BEIRUT (FACEBOOK)

 

The head of the Iraqi Private Banks Association, Wadih Al-Handal, considered that depriving more than half of the Iraqi private banks of dealing with the use of the dollar is a very dangerous indicator. 

This came during a speech by Al-Handal at the Arab Economic Security Forum organized by the Union of Arab Banks in Beirut. He said, “Iraq still faces major challenges at various economic levels, including depriving the Iraqi private banking sector of using the dollar, which has exceeded half of the number of banks operating inside the country.” This is a very dangerous indicator, despite the efforts of Iraqi governmental and private institutions to comply with local and international anti-money laundering and terrorist financing laws, but for the first time we are witnessing a clear targeting of the sector, which has begun to affect banking services within the country, undermine citizen confidence, and hinder the expansion of financial inclusion.”

The past periods have witnessed repeated sanctions  imposed by the US Treasury  on Iraqi banks, the most recent of which happened with seven banks, which was preceded by sanctions on  14 banks  during a period not exceeding a month on accusations of “smuggling the dollar to Iran, as well as money laundering.” 

Al-Handal said, “These challenges facing the banking sector reaffirm the prominent role played by the Union of Arab Banks, international organizations, and Arab banks in coordinating positions and confronting dangers together.”

He said, "Our meeting represents an opportunity to cooperate and agree on a work road map for the future, as targeting the Iraqi banking sector will not stop within its borders, and may expand at any moment to other countries in light of the regional turmoil."

He pointed out that "the Association of Private Banks is working with the Iraqi government, the Central Bank, and some local and international institutions, to save the banking sector and return banks deprived of dealing in dollars to their activities, but this is not enough. Rather, it requires continuing cooperation with the Arab and foreign banking sector, because the stage of merging the banking sector "The Iraqi and his Arab counterpart must start quickly."

Al-Handal said that the Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa al-Sudani, “held dialogues in Washington with the US President and other government officials, who announced in a joint statement the possibility of a group of Iraqi banks returning to dealing in dollars and supporting the private banking sector.”

Al-Handal claimed, “Iraq is witnessing great development in the transition to electronic government and the adoption of electronic payment, and this is what leads to the growth of the digital economy, especially since there is a trend within the country to increase the number of electronic banks, to keep pace with technological development and increase performance.”

At the beginning of this month,  the Parliamentary Investment and Development Committee said that the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, promised to submit a report to the US Treasury to lift the ban on 28 private banks.
