 Quote: "The Federal Bank has detected political influences from the Iraqi government..

.The US Federal Reserve will not be able to wait forever, and it is expected that there will be federal measures that may occur at any moment, and there will be a sudden and large demand for the dollar, which will lead to a decrease in the value of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar, which will generate great pressure on the Iraqi banking system, the Iraqi economy and the official political system."

Article:   "Iraqi banking system..A significant increase in the number of bank accounts and the volume of deposits for citizens"  

Quote:  "The banking system in Iraq is gradually regaining citizens’ confidence...In Iraq, economic and political challenges over the decades have provided a strong justification for keeping money at home rather than in banks.  

However, the accession of the Iraqi Deposit Insurance Corporation (ICDI) to the International Association of Deposit Insurers was a decisive step in improving confidence in the banking system. 

Since its accession, Iraq has witnessed a significant increase in the number of bank accounts and the volume of deposits...This development enhances Iraq’s ability to attract investment and support economic growth by converting savings into productive investments."
