Iraqi Banks go Digital:
“His advisor: Al-Sudani succeeded in digital transfer in banks”
This is really good news for our investment. The Iraqi banks are now capable of digital transfers. When Iraq regulates their digital economy after MICA is finished (5-28-24) and Stablecoins become law on June 30th, 2024, we will begin looking toward credit valuation adjustments across the globe.
The difference this time around is that Iraq will be included. We still have to see what that means when we get to Q3. There will be many assets being refactored into the new economy after these dates. Mawazine News
