Saleh added: Today, the monetary policy interest rate is between 4-5%, and it is a price that guides banks in making their credit decisions. Noting that due to the low level of monetary credit in our country, the Central Bank initiated a soft cash lending program for the purposes of economic development, and the interest was initially about 4% with long grace periods for repayment.
He explained: The Central Bank of Iraq, in order to face the pressures of unemployment and depression, replaced the interest on its lending initiative, which amounted today to about 19 trillion dinars, with a commission that is deducted when the loan is granted once, and it may amount to 4% .
And Saleh: Despite that, there is no obligatory restriction on interest in the banking market. Rather, it is still free and free to be exercised by banks authorized by their administrative decisions and according to their liquidity conditions./End 3 https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?Key=996523
