 An Economist Warns Of American Intentions Regarding Iraqi Financial Dealings

Information / Baghdad...Economic affairs researcher, Muhammad Al-Saadi, warned on Thursday of American intentions and dictates regarding Iraqi foreign financial transactions, as well as dialogues and invoices, likely imposing new conditions related to the process of transferring the dollar from the US Federal Bank. 

Al-Saadi told Al-Maalouma, “Washington may move towards imposing new dictates on Iraq through the visit of the US Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Anti-Money Laundering Affairs (Elizabeth Rosenberg) to Baghdad and her meeting with the Governor of the Central Bank.”

He added, "It is expected that the visit aims to impose new conditions regarding the transfer of dollars from Iraqi funds in the Federal Bank," noting that "the visit comes in the context of conditions adopted by the American administration to impose on the government of Muhammad Shia al-Sudani and implement them."

He stated, "The conditions include the US Treasury's monitoring of all Iraqi foreign import invoices, and tightening control over Iraqi remittances and the dollar selling platform through the anti-money laundering framework." LINK
