 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.
