Two years ago, transferring even a single dollar from Iraq to New York was nearly impossible, as no Western bank would facilitate such a transaction due to the country’s status as a compliance risk. However, a significant shift occurred this weekend when Iraq’s prime minister appointed the former head of the anti-money laundering office to the Central Bank of Iraq. This move came just two days after the Global Financial Watchdog provided Baghdad with a list of nine necessary reforms to be implemented by a specific deadline, including improving financial transparency and enhancing regulatory compliance. This situation is not merely theoretical; eight months prior, Nigeria and South Africa successfully navigated similar challenges and removed themselves from the watchlist, resulting in a swift return of correspondent banks and an influx of approximately $30 billion in previously stagnant investments for Nigeria. By taking these steps, Iraq has embarked on a crucial journey toward regaining access to the dollar.
