  Romasinki impressed by Iraqi bank accounts: up 31% in a year

Shafaq News / US Ambassador to Baghdad Elena Romanski said on Tuesday that she was fascinated by the rise of Iraqis’ bank accounts.

In a tweet on X, she said that the data of the Central Bank of Iraq indicate that the total deposits held by Iraqi commercial banks increased by about 37% over the past two years.

From 2021 to 2022, the total number of people with a bank account in local banks increased by 31%, she added, stressing that it was “an impressive progress.”

“By working with Iraq on reforms, we contribute to building confidence in the banking sector,” she continued, considering that “modern banking services enable to promote greater foreign investment and protect funds from financial crimes, theft and loss.”
