17th September, 2020
The new Central Bank Governor, Mustafa Mukhaif Al-Kitab, affirmed that he had put in place a "deliberate banking plan" to develop the bank's work, strengthen the national currency and address negatives, while the head of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faik Zaidan, stressed the need to adhere to banking laws and the anti-money laundering and terrorist financing law.
The media office of the Central Bank said in a statement received by Al-Mustaqilla today, Thursday, that “The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mustafa Ghaleb Al-Kitab, met with the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, Judge Faik Zaidan.”
The statement quoted the book as saying that "a deliberate banking plan has been developed that will develop the work of the central bank, strengthen the national currency and deal with negatives in cooperation with the courts specialized in joint work with the central bank."
For his part, Zidan said, "The selection of independent personalities from among the affiliates of state institutions to manage these institutions gives an indication of the government's seriousness in pursuing the professional institutional approach in building the state as well as emphasizing the importance of preserving the independence of the Central Bank in accordance with the constitution and the Central Bank of Iraq law."
Zidan stressed, "The need to adhere to banking laws, the law against money laundering and terrorist financing, and the instructions issued pursuant to them, to build a solid banking sector capable of facing financial and economic challenges and providing real opportunities for development." LINK
MilitiaMan: Fairly sure we can all absorb these articles. They have been effectively what we have been waiting for. Instructions issued.. In other words the horses mouth has spoken.. imo.. Now we should see the citizens gearing for an exchange rate to bring in the 50k and 25k notes.. imo.. As that will bring in the real opportunities!! imo ~ MM
DCDriver: Delta said he was waiting for the CBI to speak. This looks like it IMO
Buckeyetree: In my opinion, the sooner than later reinstatement scenario is more likely not only for the recent great news posted today, but a reinstatement before the November election in the US would certainly aid the president with his re-election as the dinar RI is expected to provide a worldwide stimulus which includes the USA and Iraq. Perhaps Kazemi would be happy to oblige if the timing is right as he and Trump appear to be on the same page. We watch and wait what now appears to be very exciting times.

The sources reported that the force had arrested the president of the company, Bahaa Al-Zubaidi, on the orders of the Anti-Corruption Committee formed by Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi.

The company has a monopoly on working in this field in Iraq, as it does not have any competing company in the same field and the reason for the lack of competing companies for it or of its quality is that this company (Key Card) provides bribes to the influential forces to prevent the issuance of any work permit for the establishment of competing companies.
