Shafaq News/ The financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, revealed that Iraq would fulfill all its obligations to Kuwait on compensation for the 1990-91 invasion.
Salih said in an interview with Shafaq News Agency, “Deducting 3% of the cost of each barrel exported abroad as compensation for the Kuwait war will end next year, the remaining amount is not more than one billion dollars.”
It is worth noting that Iraq stopped making payments in 2014 during the war against ISIS, which controlled a third of the country but resumed in 2018, and now, 3% of oil export revenues go to Kuwait.
Under the United Nations Compensation Commission (UNCC), Kuwait and Iraq agreed that payments would gradually increase from 0.5 percent of Iraqi oil proceeds in 2018 to 1.5 percent in 2019 and 3 percent in both 2020 and 2021.
Located in Villa La Pelouse within United Nations Office in Geneva, Switzerland., UNCC was created to process claims and pay compensation for losses and damage suffered due to Iraq’s unlawful invasion and occupation of Kuwait in 1990-91.

Dave butterfly Too think less than a Billion to go….CBI could write a check tomorrow….then enter the global stage in having a globally traded currency… the news regarding private investment laws still aint done…… Invest in that?
butterfly Dave No matter how we look at it, or hope the hell things would change, but as I remember it was going to be 2022 to finish paying off Kuwait. That would be one step that needs to be done, but there are others. They, of late, have shown they are asking for investors of other countries. That will take time also. As the IMF stated, they don’t look for anything to happen, in stability, with Iraq until 2024.

NORV Expanding Access to Banks in Iraq: Challenges & Pathways to Reform
1/9/2021 One of the major obstacles to the development of the private sector in Iraq is the lack of access to finance to support its growth. The consensus view is that this is a consequence of Iraq’s underdeveloped banking sector, which is dominated by the state.
While this diagnosis is, to a certain extent, true, a more accurate way of framing the problem would be to say that Iraq simply does not have a banking system, at least in the way that banking is globally understood or practiced.
Iraq has institutions which are referred to as “banks” and indeed, they perform certain functions that resemble banks; however, with a few limited exceptions, Iraq’s banks do not perform the essential functions that characterize a modern banking system.
Whereas banks globally play a major role in the provision of credit and in the functioning of payment systems, banks in Iraq play second fiddle to cash. So long as cash dominates, there is little room for a robust banking sector to emerge. Examining cash dominance in addition to other challenges, this edition of the Iraq Economic Review identifies the key obstacles impeding the development of a banking sector in Iraq and considers possible pathways forward.
