The head of the National State Forces Alliance, Mr. Ammar al-Hakim, called for encouraging citizens to deposit their money in Iraqi banks.
A statement from his office, a copy of which was received by {Euphrates News}, stated that Mr. Al-Hakim received “this morning a number of Iraqi businessmen, headed by the head of the Iraqi Banks Association, Wadih Al-Handhal, and listened to their vision on reforming the banking sector in Iraq to keep pace with the state of urban and developmental progress in the country, and in all governorates.”
During the meeting, Mr. Al-Hakim stressed "the importance of keeping pace with global developments in this vital sector and linking the Iraqi banking system to the global banking system."
He called for "working to expand financial inclusion in banks, encouraging citizens to deposit their money in Iraqi banks, and turning this into a societal culture."
He pointed out the importance of granting loans to youth and the housing sector, as the latter stimulates many other productive sectors and provides job opportunities. LINK
