The Central Bank said in a statement, seen by "Economy News", that the Central Bank delegation "headed by the Governor of the Central Bank Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq to the United States of America, discussed the use of electronic payment cards and ways to regulate and stimulate their use in line with Iraq's move towards electronic payment."

Al-Ban added that this came "during separate meetings with a group of companies such as (Visa, Mastercard and MoneyGram), as the international auditing firm (KPMG) presented an extensive analytical presentation of the uses of these cards, reinforced with recommendations and proposals to enhance organized use and accommodate the significant increase in citizens' use of these cards."

The statement stressed that the parties praised "during the negotiations the important steps to enhance the banking sector reforms, the most important of which is the contract that the delegation of the Central Bank of Iraq concluded with the company (Oliver Wyman) to conduct a comprehensive review of the conditions of Iraqi banks, especially banks prohibited from dealing in the US dollar, as the company will work to develop practical solutions to reintegrate these banks into the Iraqi and international banking sector, in addition to improving the level of banks' procedures in line with international standards, as this initiative aims to facilitate the process of establishing direct banking relations, and improve the quality and type of services provided by banks to serve the Iraqi economy, as the company is scheduled to start its work in the coming period."
