MANY CHALLENGES (GETTYI)[/ltr]
[ltr]Not long ago, Iraq took the first steps to move towards attempts to activate the electronic payment system, as these steps began by localizing the salaries of employees, and then installing electronic payment devices in several places, including gas stations, but many experts and specialists still believe that the culture of electronic [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] is not at the required level, for many reasons, including those related to economic and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] culture, as well as the widespread [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] in the country, hinders its full application.[/ltr]
[ltr][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], the Iraqi government, through attempts to apply electronic payment, aims to withdraw the cash mass in circulation in Iraq, which amounts to 84 trillion dinars.[/ltr]
[ltr]The economic expert, Nasser al-Kinani, believes that the application of the electronic payment system in all governmental and non-governmental sectors is difficult to obtain in Iraq, due to the lack of electronic culture among citizens of all segments, noting that "cash payment cannot be stopped and will remain partially due to its necessity."[/ltr]
[ltr]Al-Kinani told Ultra Iraq that "money is naturally hoarded by citizens and the possibility of withdrawing it and making it electronic in digital payment cards cannot be obtained without planning and persuasion."[/ltr]
[ltr]"The best way for the success of electronic payment is for the central bank to carry out the process of removing 3 zeros from the currency, printing new currencies, and announcing a period of one month for citizens to go to exchange all their money for a new edition, which will give an impression of the strength of the dinar against the dollar and the rest of the currencies," al-Kinani said.[/ltr]
[ltr]When this step is achieved, the government and Kinani's words "replace 10% of the money and hand it over to citizens, while the rest is placed in a bank account that is opened for each citizen, depositing his money and giving him an electronic card to withdraw through," stressing that "this step will eliminate cash circulation, corruption and hoarding, as well as currency smuggling in one way and another."[/ltr]
[ltr]"Education for electronic payment is not at the required level now, and its application at gas stations and determining the period of total commitment to it is impossible to achieve because the problems that occur in this process now with the breakdown of payment devices and not others in the rest of the economic interests give many question marks about the seriousness of reducing the deduction of more than pricing," al-Kinani said.[/ltr]
[ltr]Al-Kinani also said that "the government's step now to talk about electronic payment and oblige citizens is a step about a thousand miles with this project compared to successful experiences in many countries such as the United States of America, represented by the Federal Bank, whose electronic card is used everywhere, in addition to the Lebanese Byblos Bank and its card, which is used as an example in Baghdad, which spreads a global culture for these countries, unlike the poor culture of these transactions in Iraq, because the citizen lost confidence in the state after 2003 due to improvised political decisions." and the absence of real planning."[/ltr]
[ltr]Despite the "difficulty" of implementing the electronic payment system, the World Bank claimed on February 7th that Iraq's electronic payment infrastructure "is among the best in the region", according to a statement issued by the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.].[/ltr]

[ltr]On January 17, 2023, the Iraqi Council of Ministers approved the recommendation of the Council of Ministers for the Economy to activate the electronic payment service, stating that "the system enjoys a high level of protection and safety, shortens time and effort, and contributes to activating the movement of the economy."[/ltr]
[ltr]The previous government decision obligated the central bank to "facilitate the procedures for granting licenses to collect bank cards and exempt all transactions with electronic payment (POS) from taxes."[/ltr]
[ltr]Ali Dadoush, a researcher in economic affairs, identifies the most prominent points through which the application of electronic payment systems in Iraq can be successful.[/ltr]
[ltr]Daadoush said, in an interview with "Ultra Iraq", that "the application of electronic payment needs a culture and the dissemination of intensive simplified advertisements for the citizen and taking into account the experiences of countries where electronic payment systems have succeeded and gradually turned into a cashless society, such as Sweden, for example."[/ltr]
[ltr]Daadoush called for "the need to emphasize transparency in the dissemination of sufficient information that allows the simple citizen to know what he has and what he owes, such as how much the commission of each company, how to export the payment card, how much its ceiling and others," saying that "these steps will facilitate the procedures for dealing with electronic payment systems in the country."[/ltr]
