Statement from the Central Bank of Iraq

---

The Central Bank of Iraq denies the circulating news that talked about depriving a group of banks and licensed electronic payment companies from participating in the external transfer platform.

The Central Bank also denies rumors about banning or stopping electronic payment cards issued by private banks or electronic payment companies.

And this bank confirms that this news is untrue, as its main goal is to manipulate the exchange rate by speculators in foreign currency, it bears full responsibility for the parties and pages that trade such fake news and the bank also reserves its legal right to take measures to deter the promoters of that fake news in all media.

The media office of the Central Bank of Iraq calls for the need to review the official website of the bank (www.cbi.iq) and its confirmed news publishes which refute these allegations.
