 Iraq and Turkey have an agreement where people and cargo can begin travel...up through Iraq...into Turkey and...into the Mediterranean Sea, which will allow...faster access to Europe.  This project is expected to increase Iraq's GDP, provide thousands and thousands of more jobs and kickstart Iraq's economy foundation outside of the oil industry. 

 The interest rate in Iraq averaged 6.17% from 2004 until 2024 reaching an all time high of  20% in December of 2007 and a record low of 4% in March of 2016.  6.17% is a high rate, yet they still are having trouble getting  the Iraqi people to put their money into the bank.  Iraq does have a bank deposit protection program similar to the US's FDIC. 

  [Dinar Guru NOTE:  For comparison the average US bank account  offers .47%.  You can find high yield savings accounts that offer  around 5%]
