Iraq’s apex bank governing money, credit and financial stability
Iraq has recovered hundreds of kilograms of gold and billions in dinars as part of a broad anti-corruption crackdown tied to Deputy Oil Minister Adnan al-Jumaili. The drive has led to dozens of arrests, with authorities coordinating with regional partners to extradite suspects and recover missing assets.
The Iraqi prime minister-designate has arrived in Washington as Washington pressures Baghdad to disarm Iran-backed militias and curb corruption. The visit centers on expanding economic ties, attracting investment, and reinforcing state control, amid Tehran’s influence and security challenges.
