Iraq Economic News and Points to Ponder Tuesday Afternoon 4-8-25
Government Advisor: Iraq Will Face Two Shocks As A Result Of Trump's Decisions.
April 6, 18:53 nformation / Baghdad.. The Prime Minister's advisor for economic affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, revealed on Sunday that Iraq will face two economic shocks as a result of US President Donald Trump's decisions, noting that the US is a secondary trading partner for Iraq.
"Iraq is immune to the impact of tariffs on its exports to the US, as the latter is a secondary trading partner. Iraqi oil exports to the US do not exceed $5 billion annually, while Iraq imports electronic goods and cars from the US at a similar value," Saleh said in a statement followed by Al-Maalouma Agency.

Iraqi oil exports to the US do not exceed $5 billion annually, while Iraq imports electronic goods and cars from the US at a similar value," Saleh said in a statement followed by Al-Maalouma Agency.
Saleh pointed out that "the new tariffs could lead to higher costs for global supply chains, causing cross-border economic inflation, as well as a decline in the oil asset cycle resulting from the protectionist trade policies pursued by the US through its control of the world's largest trading regions."
He explained that "Iraq will face two major shocks: the first is a relative disruption in the prices of some materials within the supply chains, and the second is a gradual decline in the oil asset cycle, which could lead to oil prices falling during the summer season to below their stable market values."

The Turkish Wealth Fund And The Iraq Development Fund Sign A Memorandum Of Understanding For Joint Cooperation.
Tuesday, April 8, 2025 11:52 | Economic Number of readings: 310 Baghdad / NINA / The Director General of the Turkish Wealth Fund, Arda Armut, and the Executive Director of the Iraq Development Fund, Mohammed Al-Najjar, signed a memorandum of understanding for joint strategic cooperation.
"Relations between Türkiye and Iraq have always held a special place as two countries with a long history, a shared geography, and strong fraternal ties," Ermut said at a press conference held today in Baghdad with the executive director of the Iraq Development Fund. He added that
this centuries-old friendship between the two countries has been strengthened over time by mutual trust and solidarity, transforming into a brotherhood that is not limited to neighborliness but rather united around common goals. He pointed out that
"this memorandum of understanding is a major step that will enhance cooperation between Türkiye and Iraq, not only at the regional level but also at the global level." He explained that the
Turkish Wealth Fund will cooperate extensively with the Iraq Development Fund in developing, financing, and implementing projects, noting that
the signed memorandum of understanding clearly embodies the determination to work together, particularly in specific strategic sectors. He said,
"We aim to cooperate in a wide range of areas, from renewable and green energy to information and communications technology, from infrastructure and superstructure investments to transportation and logistics services, from automobiles to agricultural technologies and food production, and from financial services to fintech applications."
He added, "In addition to investments, we will also cooperate closely on issues such as information exchange, technology transfer, and the joint use of resources.
This will ensure that our joint projects have a broader and more sustainable impact."
The head of the Turkish Wealth Fund expressed his belief that this memorandum will support comprehensive and sustainable development in both Türkiye and Iraq, and that
this cooperation will enhance regional economic stability and further strengthen the friendship between the two countries. He pointed out that the
Turkish Sovereign Wealth Fund places great importance on establishing long-term relationships based not only on economic relations, but also on trust and shared values, as embodied in the memorandum of understanding between the two sides.
For his part, Mohammed Al-Najjar said:
This is a very important step not only for the "Development Road" project, but
also for all other projects, partnerships, and relationships. Al-Najjar added,
"For the first time, we are signing long-term strategic projects between Iraq and Turkey that go beyond trade relations." He pointed out that
the signed memorandum of understanding also forms the basis for future joint projects. It's worth noting that
the "Development Road" project is a land and railway route extending from Iraq to Turkey and its ports.
It spans 1,200 kilometers within Iraq and aims to transport goods between Europe and the Gulf states.
On April 22 of last year, Turkey, Iraq, Qatar, and the UAE signed a quadripartite memorandum of understanding in Baghdad for cooperation on the "Development Road" project, under the auspices of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.
Under the terms of the memorandum of understanding signed today in Baghdad, the two sides will work together under a structured cooperation mechanism to develop, finance, and implement projects. The first tangible results of this joint effort are expected to appear by next month.
The memorandum also includes joint commitments on innovation-focused investments in some key sectors of strategic importance.
These sectors include renewable energy and green energy technologies, information and communications technology, infrastructure and superstructure investments, transportation and logistics, automotive, agricultural technology and food production, and financial services and fintech.
Cooperation outside these investment areas includes the exchange of knowledge and expertise, technology transfer, and the allocation and mobilization of strategic resources.
This cooperation is expected to support comprehensive and sustainable economic development in Türkiye and Iraq, enhance regional economic stability and growth, and deepen the long-standing strategic relations between the two countries. /End https://ninanews.com/Website/News/Details?key=1196340

He explained that the government has included regulating the work of the private sector in its program.
In a statement to Al-Iraqiya News, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), al-Zuhairi said,
"Tomorrow will witness the signing of an agreement with the American Chambers of Commerce to regulate the work of the private sector." He explained that "American companies are characterized by greater flexibility and capabilities, and they have extensive experience working with countries around the world.
In addition, the Americans have everything they need to work in Iraq, especially in the field of industry." He pointed out that "the banking base in Iraq has become large and global, and it is possible for us to work with it."
He explained that "the agreement signed yesterday, in addition to the agreement to be signed tomorrow, includes regulating work in the Iraqi and American private sectors."
He emphasized that the government has included in its program the regulation of the private sector and supports many areas, especially loans and the purchase of machinery and equipment," noting that "despite the difficult circumstances we faced, the results were positive on the ground."
Al-Zuhairi also referred to "addressing taxes, customs, the companies law, and the agency law," indicating that "there is a package that the government sent to Parliament for a vote, which is the most important package." He explained that "the work of the private sector requires continuous updating, as there are new systems, laws, and new programs that change from time to time.
Land acquisition was previously under the agrarian reform law, as was the energy issue, and many other issues have been finalized." He explained that
"what the government has done over the past period has been exceptional," expressing his hope that
"support for the private sector will continue in order to attract the largest number of international companies and employ the workforce." https://www.ina.iq/231651--.html

Good Afternoon Dinar Recaps,
COINBASE TO INTRODUCE 24/7 FUTURES TRADING FOR BITCOIN AND ETHEREUM ON MAY 9
▪️Coinbase Derivatives has announced the launch of 24/7 Bitcoin and Ethereum futures trading for US traders on May 9.
▪️The launch will allow US-based crypto derivatives investors to trade Bitcoin and Ethereum futures contracts round-the-clock.
▪️The contracts will be backed by Coinbase Financial Markets and cleared through Nodal Clear, ensuring clear institutional framework.
Coinbase greenlights 24/7 futures trading for Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures
Coinbase has announced the decision to launch 24-hour trading functionality for US-based traders on May 9 2025, just 24 hours after the US congress advanced a bill for crypto stablecoin regulations. However, until now, US traders have faced limited access due to fixed market hours and contract expiration policies.
By introducing 24/7 trading, Coinbase aims to eliminate inefficiencies that prevent traders from reacting to price movements in real time.
Perpetual futures to bridge US trading inefficiencies
In addition to continuous trading access, Coinbase is also developing a perpetual-style futures contract. Unlike standard futures, these contracts do not have expiry dates, allowing traders to maintain positions indefinitely.
The new perpetual-style contracts aim to provide US traders with more efficient hedging and strategy execution.
Without the constraints of fixed expirations, traders can implement long-term positions without disruptions. Furthermore, the introduction of a regulated perpetual futures market within the US could reduce reliance on offshore exchanges, which have historically offered more competitive alternatives.
Crypto Regulations remain a crucial factor. In recent years, Coinbase has worked closely with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to ensure compliance while expanding derivatives offerings to altcoins.
The US Congress also advanced a bill for Crypto stablecoin regulations this week as the Trump administration continues to push for crypto reserves, to mitigate mounting national debt.
Key points Coinbase users must note:
▪️Coinbase Derivatives launches 24/7 Bitcoin and Ethereum futures for US traders on May 9.
▪️The exchange is developing perpetual-style futures to eliminate contract expirations, enhancing trading flexibility within US markets.
▪️Coinbase's move is expected to boost institutional crypto adoption while reducing the need for offshore derivatives platforms.
Currently, derivatives account for over 75% of total crypto trading volume globally, according to CCdata.
Investors anticipate that the Coinbase imminent furtures trading launch could drive more capital inflows towards BTC and ETH derivatives markets.
At press time Bitcoin futures open interest stands at $53 billion according to Coingecko data, up 1.6% within the last 24 hours.
Market participants anticipate that the upcoming futures launch and perpetual contract developments will drive greater institutional participation in US-based crypto derivatives.
Perpetual futures lack expiration dates, enabling traders to hold positions indefinitely, providing better flexibility for long-term strategies.

XRP AND U.S. TREASURY: RIPPLE MIGHT GIFT XRP AS CODE TO THE GOVERNMENT
John Squire, a social media influencer with a growing presence in the digital asset space, posted a tweet raising the possibility that XRP could be incorporated into the U.S. government infrastructure through non-commercial means.
In his post, Squire stated, “XRP x U.S. Treasury. This ain’t hype, it’s infrastructure. Ripple might gift $XRP as code to the gov. They won’t buy it… they’ll use it. Are you watching or still sleeping?”
The Concept of a Gratis Vendor
Squire’s message was accompanied by a short video clip (link below) of an interview in which an unidentified speaker (Newshounds believes it is Commerse Secretary Howard Lutnick) described the process of becoming a “gratis vendor” for the U.S. government. The speaker explained that a gratis vendor is an approved entity that gives, rather than sells, a product or service to the federal government.
According to this explanation, when a vendor provides a product as a gift—especially if offered to an entity under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, which includes the executive branch—the product may be accepted without going through standard procurement procedures.
In the interview, the first speaker said, “What is a gratis vendor? A gratis vendor is an approved vendor for the United States of America that gives product to the government, doesn’t sell it. Therefore, I don’t have to go through the whole process of becoming a proper vendor because you’re giving it to us.”
The speaker went on to say that if the product is gifted to a government department, it bypasses much of the bureaucracy typically involved in federal acquisitions.
Implications for XRP and Ripple
Squire used this segment to suggest that Ripple Labs could utilize the gratis vendor model to offer XRP or XRP-related code to the U.S. government as a non-commercial resource.
The core implication in Squire’s statement is that Ripple would not sell XRP to the government but provide it or its infrastructure freely for governmental use.
The tweet did not contain any formal confirmation from Ripple or any government entity that such an arrangement is currently in place. However, it aligns with previous conversations in the digital asset space about the potential role of XRP in the modernization of governmental and financial systems.
Squire’s emphasis on the infrastructure aspect of the tweet indicates that he sees this potential move not as a marketing strategy or speculative hype but as a functional step toward broader adoption of distributed ledger technology within federal agencies.
Current Status and Outlook
If Ripple pursues this approach, it could theoretically allow government entities to evaluate or deploy XRP-powered systems without needing to engage in standard procurement or regulatory clearance typically required for financial acquisitions. While speculative, Squire’s commentary underscores the view held by some in the digital asset community that XRP’s real-world utility could extend into official public-sector functions.

Mon. 7 April 2025 URGENT: QFS IS ACTIVE — GESARA IS REAL — THE DEEPSTATE IS FALLING FAST …John F. Kennedy Jr. on Telegram
The Quantum Financial System (QFS) is LIVE and tracking every corruptt banker, every treasonous politician, and every dirty transaction across the globe. The Deepstate’s days are DONE.
Bankers are being arrested in real time. Gitmo flights are increasing. The QFS is untouchable — run by quantum satellites protected by classified Space Force tech, rendering all Cabal attempts to hack or delay the system completely useless.
GESARA is no longer a dream — it’s coming FAST. Every country that wants to trade must be GESARA compliant. Those that aren’t? They’ll be left behind, begging for survival through bartering like medieval peasants.
The Central Bank system is collapsing. The QFS is already replacing SWIFT, crypto, and outdated blockchains. All currencies will be backed by real gold or assets, not fake fiat or imaginary tokens.
This isn’t some future event — it’s happening RIGHT NOW. The QFS has been secretly running alongside the corrupt system, catching every illigal transfer. That’s why so many bankers have vanished.
Every dollar, euro, and yen is being digitally tagged, traced in real-time. If it’s stolen, the system knows who, when, and where, and arrests follow instantly. The Cabal is out of moves — and they know it.
The Revaluation and Global Currency Reset (GCR) are ready to roll. A powerful formula is being used to value every currency equally, backed by physical gold. When it launches, the price of gold becomes irrelevant — because all money will be tied to real assets.

The bank will not tolerate fake news and may prosecute those responsible for today’s earlier article stating that Iraq stopped selling dollars to travelers at the official exchange rate. This shows there are entities that want to stir up doubt and that doubt goes against her focus on sustaining confidence in the banking system! Good on the central bank!

Vermont-based asset manager Teucrium Investment Advisors LLC is launching the first XRP-based exchange-traded fund in the U.S. market on Tuesday.
The Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) is a leveraged fund based on the world's fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, designed to provide investment results that correspond to twice the daily price performance of XRP.
"If you have a short-term high-conviction view on XRP prices, you may consider exploring the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF," the company said on the website.
According to its description, XXRP starts trading on April 8 on NYSE Arca, with monthly distributions at a 1.85% management fee ratio.
On the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation's (DTCC) official list of active and pre-launch U.S. ETFs, Teucrium's XXRP stands as the only XRP-related fund.
"A 2x XRP ETF is launching [tomorrow] in the U.S., the first-ever XRP ETF on the market," Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas said in a post on X.
"Very odd (maybe a first) that a new asset’s first ETF is leveraged. Spot XRP still not approved, [although] our odds are pretty high," Balchunas added.
Demand for spot ETF uncertain
Multiple U.S. issuers, including Grayscale, WisdomTree and Bitwise, have filed applications with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission following waves of positive changes in crypto regulation led by President Donald Trump.
Several spot XRP ETF filings have been acknowledged by the SEC earlier this year, suggesting the review process is moving forward.
Meanwhile, Ripple Labs, the company that created and supports the growth of XRP, agreed to settle with the SEC last month, ending their years-long legal battle over whether XRP counts as a financial security. Ripple agreed to pay a fine of $50 million, reduced from the $125 million that was imposed last August.
"With the SEC dropping its appeal, a key legal hurdle is out of the way, making XRP ETF approval more likely," said Min Jung, research analyst at Presto Research. "If any new spot ETFs are approved after Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP or Solana are strong contenders."
However, Jung noted that demand for spot XRP ETFs remains uncertain. "Ethereum ETFs have seen limited traction, and institutions still largely believe 'there is no second best,'" Jung said.
According to The Block's XRP price page, the cryptocurrency is trading at $1.91 as of 11:00 p.m. ET on Monday, up 0.64% in the past 24 hours.

HONG KONG SFC ISSUES NEW CRYPTO STAKING RULES: WHAT’S CHANGING?
▪️Hong Kong's SFC issues new rules for licensed crypto platforms and funds involved in staking.
▪️The guidelines aim to boost blockchain security, offer regulated yields, and enhance investor protection.
▪️These moves are part of Hong Kong's "ASPIRe" plan to become a leading regulated virtual asset hub.
Hong Kong is stepping up its game in the crypto space. In a move to tighten oversight and improve investor safety, the city’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) has rolled out new rules for virtual asset trading platforms and authorised funds involved in staking.
The move is part of the city’s efforts to tighten oversight and create a safer, more structured crypto market.
From clearer rules to new opportunities for investors, the SFC’s latest update could signal a turning point. Here’s what’s changing, and why it matters.
Regulated Crypto Staking: A Step Forward
The updated rules highlight key benefits of staking—such as improving blockchain security and helping investors earn yields—all within a regulated environment. These guidelines give licensed crypto platforms more flexibility to offer staking services, supporting the SFC’s “ASPIRe” strategy to grow Hong Kong’s virtual asset industry.
The SFC has set out clear requirements for platforms that offer staking. These include protecting staked assets, avoiding service disruptions, and being transparent about the risks involved. This marks a major step toward making staking safer for investors in Hong Kong.
Funds Can Stake – But Within Limits
The SFC also updated its circular for SFC-authorised virtual asset (VA) funds. These funds can now stake assets—but only through licensed platforms or approved institutions. To reduce risk, a cap has been set on how much they can stake. This helps manage liquidity and further protect investors.
SFC CEO Julia Leung said that expanding regulated crypto services is key to growing Hong Kong’s virtual asset market. At the same time, she stressed that protecting investors must remain the top priority through strong regulation and compliance.
A Global Crypto Hub in the Making
The SFC is actively working to position Hong Kong as a global digital asset hub. Its ASPIRe framework—short for Access, Safeguards, Products, Infrastructure, and Relationships—aims to make it easier for platforms to enter the market while strengthening investor protections.
In February 2025, the SFC announced plans to launch new licensing regimes for over-the-counter (OTC) virtual asset trading and custody services. These new rules are aimed at improving market efficiency and boosting investor confidence.
As the crypto world keeps moving fast, Hong Kong clearly wants the rules to keep pace – and stay one step ahead.

Hoarding Cash and Delaying Purchases
Hoarding Cash and Delaying Purchases: Anxious Retirees React To The Stock Market Selloff
Alicia Adamczyk Updated Mon, April 7, 2025 Fortune
Though few people are enjoying the tariff-induced market meltdown, it is an especially tough time for retirees and those near retirement, who have been hit with a double financial whammy: Not only are their portfolios losing value at a time when they can least afford it, but they are also often the people least able to absorb higher costs on their fixed incomes.
Though financial advisors generally advise clients to remain calm in the face of market volatility, they say some clients have made a few key moves over the past few days to put themselves in better positions.
Hoarding Cash and Delaying Purchases: Anxious Retirees React To The Stock Market Selloff
Alicia Adamczyk Updated Mon, April 7, 2025 Fortune
Though few people are enjoying the tariff-induced market meltdown, it is an especially tough time for retirees and those near retirement, who have been hit with a double financial whammy: Not only are their portfolios losing value at a time when they can least afford it, but they are also often the people least able to absorb higher costs on their fixed incomes.
Though financial advisors generally advise clients to remain calm in the face of market volatility, they say some clients have made a few key moves over the past few days to put themselves in better positions.
"I have been advising my retiree clients for months to build up their cash reserve to about one year's worth of withdrawals from their portfolio, at minimum," says Katrina Soelter, California-based certified financial planner (CPF). This allows retirees the ability to avoid taking disbursements, withdrawals from a retirement account, at a loss. "If retirees don't have that cash reserve right now, then building that up strategically over the next several months would be key."
For many, a key consideration is distinguishing between money needed now and money needed later, says Brenna Baucum, an Oregon-based CFP.
"One client who reached out this week was understandably anxious, but we were able to revisit a decision we made in January to move this year's required minimum distribution into cash," says Baucum. "Knowing they won't need to sell anything from their investment portfolio again until, at the latest, December 2026 gave them real peace of mind."
Other clients are postponing large or nonessential discretionary purchases in order to keep some liquid breathing room in their budget. That said, it can also make sense for pre-retirees and retirees on fixed incomes to speed up some spending. At a time when headlines are warning of potential $2,300 iPhones, consumers need to think through how their spending could be impacted.
"With new tariffs on the horizon, it's worth being intentional about spending," says Baucum. "If you were already planning to buy goods from soon-to-be-tariffed countries…it may make sense to accelerate those purchases. That's not market timing, it’s thoughtful consumption."
It's important to be proactive and track expenses closely, says New York CFP Melissa Caro.
"Retirees may need to adjust spending or consider inflation hedges like TIPS or a refreshed asset allocation to stay on track," says Caro, referring to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, which are bonds whose principal and interest rate payments increase with inflation.

The Central Bank Denies Stopping The Supply Of Dollars To Travelers.
April 06, 2025 The Central Bank of Iraq denies circulating news (about halting the supply of dollars to travelers at the official exchange rate of 1,320 dinars to the dollar), confirming that the decision is still in effect and that the suspension is false.
The Central Bank states that the process of supplying travelers with dollars is proceeding regularly and smoothly, according to an advanced electronic system operated by companies and banks at all Iraqi airports,
especially after the implementation of new mechanisms that enabled travelers to receive their shares of foreign currency (dollars) according to sound transactions, facilitating their faster access to dollars and eliminating the negative phenomena practiced by speculators.
The Central Bank of Iraq reserves the legal right to prosecute those who spread rumours aimed at destabilising the currency and creating opportunities for speculation. Central Bank of Iraq Media Office April 6, 2025 https://cbi.iq/news/view/2838
Government Advisor: 95 Trillion Dinars Stored Outside the Banking System
Economy 04-05-2025, 1:44 PM Baghdad – INA – Amna Al-Salami Adviser to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed today, Saturday, that the widespread use of digital payment systems provides loans to citizens at lower costs.
He explained that 95 of the 109 trillion dinars are stored outside the banking system.
Adviser to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, told the Iraqi News Agency (INA):
"The positive steps in activating e-commerce are consistent with one of its objectives, as
the government and the Central Bank seek to integrate hoarded funds in households (cash leakage, as it is known) into the banking system, which contributes to strengthening the national economy and
achieving financial stability." He pointed out that "the Monetary Authority has previously prepared controls and registration procedures to obtain a license to practice this trade, in a coordinated manner that contributes to regulating the market and enhancing consumer confidence."
He added, "The steps taken by the government and the Central Bank to enhance confidence and and activate e-commerce are consistent with the launch of digital transformation projects.
This has been the case since the Central Bank announced the launch of strategic projects to support digital transformation, including the
instant payments project,
local cards, and
unified payment gateways,
all of which aim to
enhance financial inclusion and
facilitate digital banking operations."
He pointed out that "all measures to address information technology and integrate it into digital payment systems are consistent with the development of the country's digital renaissance, the financial culture of society, and the development of monetary behavior in relation to inherited customs, traditions, and cultures.
Hoarding money at home instead of depositing it in banks remains a prominent economic challenge in Iraq." He explained, "Estimates indicate that approximately 87% of the money supply, or
approximately 95 trillion dinars out of a total of 109 trillion dinars, is held outside the banking system,
preventing a large portion of the national wealth from effectively participating in the economy."
He explained that "the more digital payment systems are used, including e-commerce, the
more efficient banking activity becomes and the fewer leakages outside of banks.
This gives official and licensed banking units the greatest opportunity to grant more credit or
lend to citizens at a lower cost and with greater efficiency, thanks to the often low interest rate." He noted that "the parallel market for usurers, which
deals with funds in circulation or hoarded outside the banking system, is a very dangerous, illegal, and costly market for citizens and the national economy when it comes to credit transactions or lending at very high usurious interest rates, or what is known as the usurers' market.
This is due to the opaque nature of its operations, in addition to the fact that some of its activities conflict with the Anti-Money Laundering Law due to the lack of transparency in financing, the absence of governance elements, and the accompanying risks of trading and recovery." https://www.ina.iq/231404--95-.html
Advisor to the Prime Minister Reveals Plan to Merge Rafidain and Rasheed Banks
Economy Yesterday, 6:26 PM Baghdad – INA Advisor to the Prime Minister and Executive Director of the Reform Management Cell, Amer Al-Adhadh, revealed plans to merge Rafidain and Rasheed Banks.

he explained the contents of the "House of Reform" project and its importance to the investment portfolio.
He also outlined the contents of the draft law on public-private partnerships, which aims
to enhance the investment environment in Iraq.
Al-Adhadh told Al-Shabaka magazine, as reported by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), in his discussion of the "House of Reform" project, "This project is not merely a government program, but rather
a comprehensive roadmap aimed at achieving sustainable development through interconnected objectives,one of which is activating human capital and enhancing national competencies."
He added, "Economic reforms cannot succeed without an investment-attractive legal and regulatory environment, which is what the government is working to achieve through this project."
Regarding cooperation with the World Bank, Al-Adhadh stated, "The World Bank commended the reforms implemented by the Iraqi government,including the "House of Reform" policies that support sustainable development.
Cooperation focuses on supporting financial reforms, providing technical advice, and financial assistance to enhance the stability of the Iraqi economy and improve financial governance systems."
Al-Adhadh also noted that "the government has made significant progress in preparing the draft law on public-private partnerships, which is an essential part of the government's program.
This partnership aims to enhance cooperation between the government and the private sector, particularly in infrastructure, transportation, and energy projects, contributing to stimulating the national economy and achieving sustainable development."
Regarding the restructuring of the banking sector, Al-Adhadh revealed a plan to merge Rafidain and Rasheed Banks into a single entity with the aim of
improving Iraq's credit rating and increasing international confidence in the banking sector.
He noted that an international consulting firm has been commissioned to oversee the merger process, which includes improving financial and administrative performance and developing digital infrastructure.
The Prime Minister's advisor also addressed the issue of economic diversification, stressing that
"the government has achieved a significant increase in non-oil revenues, which is
an important achievement within the strategy to diversify sources of income." He noted that
"the government is focusing on improving tax administration, developing customs duties, and
stimulating investment in non-oil sectors such as industry, agriculture, tourism, and technology,
to ensure the sustainability of these revenues."
Al-Adhadh emphasized that "the economic reforms implemented by the government contribute to strengthening the investment environment and achieving sustainable economic growth, ensuring Iraq has a stronger and more diversified financial future." https://www.ina.iq/231484--.html
