The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Masrour Barzani, welcomed the decision of the Federal Supreme Court, which confirmed the employee’s right to choose the public or private bank through which he wishes to receive his salary, within the Kurdistan Regional Government’s financial inclusion initiative (Hisabi Project).[/size]
[size=45]Masrour Barzani said, today, Wednesday (July 3, 2024) via his account on the “X” platform: “I welcome the clarification issued today by the Federal Court that allows the employee the freedom to determine public and private banks in the Kurdistan Regional Government’s financial inclusion initiative, the Hesabi project.”[/size]
[size=45]He added: “Our citizens must enjoy the same rights as their peers in the rest of the country, especially the right of Kurdistan Regional Government employees to freely choose the bank they wish to deal with to receive their salaries, within the banks authorized and approved by the Central Bank of Iraq.”[/size]
[size=45]Masrour Barzani pointed out that “the main goal of the My Account initiative is to work under and through the Central Bank,” noting that today’s court clarification renews “this established right.”[/size]
[size=45]The Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Regional Government stressed that “the progress we have made today will contribute to advancing the accounting project,” adding, “which will allow us to fulfill our promise to register one million citizens in this process by the end of this year.”[/size]
[size=45]Masrour Barzani urged salary recipients in the Kurdistan Region to “register as soon as possible,” while he believed that this progress achieved “will consolidate the foundations of trust in the relationship between Erbil and Baghdad,” indicating that this “opens horizons for resolving other pending problems.”[/size]
