Today, Baghdad University launched the Financial Inclusion Week 2025, under the patronage of the Iraqi Private Banks Association, with broad participation from numerous public and private banks operating across Iraq.
The event witnessed extensive engagement from representatives of banks and financial institutions, who showcased the latest banking services and digital payment solutions, emphasizing the importance of promoting financial literacy across all segments of society and expanding financial inclusion in line with the Central Bank of Iraq’s strategy.
This initiative aims to support individuals with special needs and vulnerable groups, facilitating their integration into the formal financial system by encouraging the use of electronic cards and modern technologies as alternatives to traditional cash transactions. Such measures enhance transparency and efficiency in financial dealings.
Event organizers stressed that enhancing financial inclusion is a fundamental step toward achieving sustainable development and that providing accessible and secure financial services to all members of society remains a priority for Iraq’s banking sector. This aligns with government efforts to accelerate digital transformation in the country.
This initiative contributes to all 17 Sustainable Development Goals, as financial inclusion serves as a crucial instrument for achieving sustainable development globally.
