Economic consultant, Ziad Al-Hashemi, confirmed today, Wednesday, that changing the governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, will not be sufficient alone to bring about the required change and improvement in the performance of the Central Bank, but rather the issue requires a broad and large screening and development of its work style, updating its management structure, and giving it the independence it needs, like other central banks.

Al-Hashemi told Al-Jarida, “The Central Bank of Iraq suffers from several major and fundamental problems, the first of which is that there is a defect in the structure of the Central Bank of Iraq, and this defect is clear in the method and style of the bank’s work. There is also weakness in the performance of the administrative system within the Central Bank as a whole, and there is also weakness in the independence of the Central Bank.”

He explained that “these factors of administrative weakness, structural defects, and weakness in the independence of the Central Bank mean that any change at the level of the leadership as individuals will not make a significant difference in bringing about a qualitative shift or positive development in the performance of the Central Bank as a whole.”

He stressed that “the Central Bank needs a broad and extensive screening, developing its work model, updating its management structure, and giving it the independence it needs, just like other central banks, to work comfortably, make its decisions, manage, implement, and monitor monetary policies with complete independence, without political interference or interference from any other party.”

Al-Hashemi concluded by saying, “Changing the governor of the Central Bank will not be enough alone to bring about the required change and improvement in the performance of the Central Bank, but rather the issue requires other requirements.”
