[size=30]MilitiaMan Friday Afternoon "Digitilization of Iraq and the Region" 5-14-2021[/size]
KTFA:MilitiaMan: There is a clear and concise move to digitalization for Iraq and the region. (See articles below)
We saw the like of 200 Senior officials from banks and Central Banks around the world with the BUNA conference on the sixth of May. Then on the 8th of May there is more on the digital transformation of the country.
Now we see 300 Banks and from 20 Arab States are to attend a virtual event on the same topic of digitization in the coming days.
To gather this sort of attention is for a serious reason, one is for security and stability an other is transparency and to fight corruption.
The big players know all to well that if not in check, they'll be ripped off. With the new system, that worry will be far less now than at present.
Keep in mind those that have a need to know of what to expect from the level playing field will be there. They know know now that Iraq is open for business.
The recent NIC plat form from the GOI told us that investors can now make application to get into investments. That will require international standards. Along with it an exchange rate that complies too.
We see today they expectation to pay salaries is post Eid Al-Fitr. That is not far off.
Also note the fiery citizens are getting restless. All point to positive pressure.. They will need to have show time sooner than later.
Show time is 18th - 20th of May. imo Things are looking very good indeed!!! ~ MM
