Article: "Credit Bank of Iraq achieves a profit of 20.4 billion dinars"

I only anticipate the bank stocks going up more and more...They might be some of the fastest growing stocks in Iraq.
The reason for that is because they keep expanding on the banks, putting them through reform...
All that's going to do is drive up the value of the stocks...
New Iraqi customs agreement opens door to huge trade growth
The Republic of Iraq has achieved a key milestone with the signing of the Guarantee Agreement between the General Authority of Customs and the TIR national association. This agreement will pave the way for the implementation of the United Nations TIR transit system in Iraq.
The TIR system cuts border waiting times significantly by enabling goods to be shipped from a country of origin to a country of destination in sealed load compartments that are controlled by customs via a multilateral, mutually recognised system.
In essence, TIR allows trucks to cross borders efficiently – and securely – without having to queue for hours and days on end.
TIR also provides a financial guarantee, managed by IRU, for the payment of customs duties and taxes.
Iraq’s accession to the TIR Convention anchors its strategic role as a transit hub and supports the country’s economic vision to expand its non-oil sectors.
Globally recognised for its 75 years of high security standards and efficiency, the TIR system has been rapidly expanding in the Middle East. From Oman and the United Arab Emirates to Saudi Arabia, and most recently in Qatar, TIR is already reducing border-crossing times by up to 92% and costs by 50% while boosting trade in the region.

"SDRs represent a weighted basket of major international currencies, and can be held as part of a country’s foreign exchange reserves. Adding SDRs to a country’s international reserves makes it more resilient financially. "
Iraq could not be granted SDRs unless it was member of the IMF.
Did they move to Article 8 already?
