 The executive director of the association, Ali Tariq, told the official agency, followed by “Iraq Observer,” that  “there is a government interest in digital transformation in all institutional joints, one of which is the banking and financial sector, which is one of the basics of digital transformation in services, whether governmental or provided through the private sector.”
