About this episode

Iraq has launched the fourth edition of Banking Ready 2026, a free banking training program https://www.myfxbuddies.com/2026/09/banking-ready-2026-what-is-iraq.htmldesigned to help young Iraqis develop professional skills and prepare for careers in the banking sector.The program is fully funded by the National Bank of Iraq and is being offered in cooperation with the Center of Excellence for Innovation and Development and the American University of Iraq – Baghdad.On the surface, this may simply look like a youth training initiative.But when we place it alongside Iraq's broader banking reforms, digital payment initiatives, efforts to strengthen financial compliance, and attempts to modernize the country's financial system, it becomes an interesting piece of the bigger picture.Is Iraq preparing for a fundamentally different banking environment?In this video, we're going to start with this announcement and then connect it to several other recent developments in Iraq's economy and banking sector.As always, we'll separate what is actually being reported from speculation and expectations, because there is a LOT of information circulating about Iraq's currency and banking system right now.Stay with me as we connect the dots.https://tinyurl.com/godhastheanswersGet a free transcript https://rss.com/podcasts/myfxbuddies📌 Disclaimer: This video is for news, commentary, and educational discussion.
