CBI honors the first woman who worked for it

---

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq, Mr. Ali Mohsen Ismail, honored the first woman hired to the Central Bank of Iraq in 1951, who is Mrs. Mobajal Adeeb Aref Baban.

 Mrs. Mobajal Baban, born in 1933, had practiced several feminist social and cultural activities and had participated in the national struggle of the Iraqi people against the unfair treaties concluded by the royal governments.

 After the 1958 revolution, she participated in the feminist movement that supported the revolution through the Iraqi Women's League. She was dismissed from her job and pursued after the coup of February 8, 1963, and returned to her job in 1968.

 Mrs. Mobajal Baban held several positions in the Central Bank of Iraq, including the position of Assistant General Manager of the Issuance Department. She left the post in 1976 because of the political pressures faced by independent employees or those with inclinations opposing the Ba'ath rule.

 It is noteworthy that the Central Bank of Iraq is one of the institutions in which the loyalty of employees is one of the pillars of its success, and its higher management is keen to honor and care for those who served in it and made good efforts.

 Mrs. Mobajal Baban praised this gesture from the Governor and wished its imminent foundation for continued progress, prosperity, and contribution to building Iraq.

 The honor was a golden paper representing the 50,000 dinar banknote, one of the products of the Issuance and Treasury Department, with another moral honor.
