Al-Saadi said, today, Thursday (October 26, 2023), that “Iraqi banks are witnessing negligence from the responsible authorities, and have entered a stage of inactivity and failure, which has made them lag behind significantly compared to other global banks or even neighboring countries that are witnessing sustainable developments,” noting that “This negligence and delay causes the use of modern technologies in daily dealings and banking transactions.”
Al-Saadi explained in an interview with “Baghdad Today” that “the main reason for the citizen’s avoidance of dealing with these banks is due to his loss of confidence in them, which led to the accumulation of funds and deposits with capital owners instead of depositing them in banks, in addition to increasing interference and negative political influence.” on the performance of these banks.
