Since 2003 the Iraqi Central Bank has been keen on preparing the infrastructure of the Iraqi banking system to enable it to provide advanced banking services. These efforts coincided with the adoption of the banking services system and the Law of Electronic Signature in mid 2014 by the Iraqi Council of Ministers. These efforts and procedures succeeded in attracting several international and regional banks to the Iraqi market. This was motivated by the market’s big potentials in terms of size, which exceeds 35 million consumers, in addition to a lack in the banking services which the local banks have failed to provide in the recent periods. Furthermore, the control exercised by government-owned banks on more than 90% of the banking activity, in a country where the rate of banking density (altamasrof) compared to the rates prevailing in the region (one bank for each 32,000 people) is on the decrease, acted as an opportunity for foreign banks to succeed in acquiring a considerable market share in their race with local banks. In 2014, Iraq witnessed dramatic security developments which had a huge impact on its economic activity in general and on its banking activity in specific which was reflected in more than 20% drop in banking earnings. This situation led the responsible parties of this sector to seek new solutions for banking proliferation and for innovative banking services.

Since 2003 the Iraqi Central Bank has been keen on preparing the infrastructure of the Iraqi banking system to enable it to provide advanced banking services. These efforts coincided with the adoption of the banking services system and the Law of Electronic Signature in mid 2014 by the Iraqi Council of Ministers.

These efforts and procedures succeeded in attracting several international and regional banks to the Iraqi market. This was motivated by the market’s big potentials in terms of size, which exceeds 35 million consumers, in addition to a lack in the banking services which the local banks have failed to provide in the recent periods. Furthermore, the control exercised by government-owned banks on more than 90% of the banking activity, in a country where the rate of banking density (altamasrof) compared to the rates prevailing in the region (one bank for each 32,000 people) is on the decrease, acted as an opportunity for foreign banks to succeed in acquiring a considerable market share in their race with local banks.

In 2014, Iraq witnessed dramatic security developments which had a huge impact on its economic activity in general and on its banking activity in specific which was reflected in more than 20% drop in banking earnings. This situation led the responsible parties of this sector to seek new solutions for banking proliferation and for innovative banking services. Experts agree that the outlook for growth are clear if the banks increase their banking services and make room for electronic banking and mobile-payment.

Against this background, the Iraqi Central Bank and Al Iktissad Wal Aamal group, in cooperation with the Lebanese Central Bank, organized the Iraqi Banking Forum on the 15th and 16th of September 2015 in Phoenicia hotel in Beirut- Lebanon.

The Forum addressed in its first day, the economic and financial status in Iraq in addition to the challenges faced by the Iraqi banks in light of the current security and political situation. It also presented the experiences of the Lebanese and regional banks in the Iraqi market. The second day tackled the topics of electronic banking and mobile-payment, the legal and regulatory environment for e-banking operations, the prospects for their development under the current security situation, the role of technology and mobile services companies in the provision of innovative banking services in addition to the mechanism for strengthening the capacity and sources of local digital security.The 2-days forum was followed by 2-days workshop on the 17th and 18th of September.
