Iraq's Private Bankers Make International Contacts
Iraq Fact of the Day
During a recent trip to New York and Washington, representatives of 12
private Iraqi banks and the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq
met with representatives of the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
the Institute of International Bankers, Bankers Association of Foreign
Trade, and the Arab Bankers Association of North America. While in
Washington the delegation met with officials from the U.S. Department
of Treasury, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and the
International Finance Corporation. Private banks are assuming an
important role in Iraq's economy, and international contacts are
helping them learn about opportunities abroad.
