In Cairo:

Baghdad, Iraq, November 8, 2018—IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, and its local partners have officially launched the first independent institute of directors in Iraq, part of efforts to promote corporate governance, boost business transparency, and encourage private investment in the country. 

The Iraqi Institute of Directors (IIoD) provides corporate governance services in Iraq and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa region, helping to strengthen the role of independent directors, create effective boards, and raise awareness about corporate governance practices. With IFC’s support, the newly established institute has already conducted several corporate governance events, providing training for 459 board members, senior executives, and entrepreneurs. 


“Strong corporate governance practices are vital to rebuilding a sturdy private sector, attracting investment, and creating jobs. At the IIoD, we open the door for dialogue between our members and representatives of the Iraqi market regulators, through which experiences are exchanged and built upon, thus offering our members a remarkable opportunity to play a vital role in shaping the corporate governance landscape in Iraq.” Mahmoud Raoof Kareem, IIoD Chairman. 
 

The initiative is part of IFC’s strategy to drive private sector growth in Iraq by improving the management skills of smaller businesses and helping larger companies improve their performance. It is also part of IFC’s aim to scale up support for fragile and conflict-affected states, where private sector investment is key to creating jobs and spurring growth. 

“Strong corporate governance helps firms lower environmental and social risks, reduce costs and attract investors,” said Mary Porter Peschka, IFC Director for Environment, Social and Governance. “By training directors and providing opportunities for knowledge sharing, the new IIoD will play a key role in the development of a sustainable private sector in Iraq.” 

IFC has been working to promote stronger corporate governance and transparency in Iraq, with support from the governments of Japan and Spain. So far, it has provided corporate governance services to 172 companies in Iraq and conducted 64 specialized events, reaching about 1,000 participants and helping to build a network of governance experts.

IFC Helps Boost Iraq Trade Sector; Strengthen Corporate Governance in Banks





IFC Launches National Institute of Directors in Baghdad to Boost Transparency, Help Attract Investment Logo_ifc


Baghdad, Iraq, November 13, 2018







Baghdad, Iraq, November 13, 2018IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is signing two key agreements with the National Bank of Iraq today—a trade finance agreement to help its client businesses access global markets, boosting trade and spurring economic growth; and a memorandum of understanding to help the bank adopt better corporate governance practices. 

Under the trade agreement, IFC and NBI will help the bank’s clients import crucial goods, including raw materials, spare parts, and food. The initiative is part of IFC’s $5 billion Global Trade Finance Program, which works with more than 600 partner banks worldwide, offering them partial or full guarantees and covering risks in transactions where cross-border trade is constrained. 

Under the MOU, IFC’s Advisory Services will help the National Bank implement changes to a new corporate governance code that was launched by the Iraqi Central Bank last week and produced with IFC’s support.   

“We consider this partnership with IFC a strategic step that will enable us to provide a competitive range of banking services to our corporate clients,” said Ayman AbuDhaim, CEO of the National Bank of Iraq “This will help them grow and bring in vital supplies to the country and reach international markets, to boost development and growth in the long term.”   

Trade finance plays a key role in facilitating cross-border trade as it fills market gaps between importers and exporters by providing guarantees to banks. With a population of nearly 40 million, Iraq depends primarily on imports. Supporting trade will help create much-needed jobs and reduce the poverty rate, which currently stands at over 22 percent. 

Improved corporate governance practices can help attract direct investments and ultimately stimulate social welfare and economic growth.
“Cross-border trade has a positive impact on economies,” said Dalia Wahba, IFC Manager of the Levant region. “The facility will enable NBI to expand its correspondent network and support its business diversification strategy, which is vital for long-term sustainability, while making banks more resilient through good corporate governance will also help drive economic growth.”   

IFC has been working to improve corporate governance in Iraq since 2014, helping to establish Iraq’s first Institute of Directors (IIoD) among other initiatives, which provides a range of specialized environmental, social, and governance trainings to businesses. IFC’s corporate governance efforts in Iraq are made possible with support from the governments of Japan and Spain.

The agreements were signed by Mr. Ayman AbuDheim, CEO of NBI, and Ms. Dalia Wahbeh, IFC Director for the Levant. The signing ceremony was attended by a number of official representatives from different Iraqi financial regulatory bodies, as well as the bank’s corporate clients, its board members and executive team members.
 
Under the trade finance agreement, NBI will join IFC’s Global Trade Finance Program, a step that will enable the bank to provide its corporate clients with a suite of trade finance facilities, making the National Bank of Iraq the only Iraqi bank to join this program.
 
“We consider this partnership with the IFC a strategic milestone that will enable us to provide a competitive range of banking services to our corporate clients,” said His Excellency Bassem Al-Salem, Vice Chairman of the National Bank of Iraq, “This will help them grow and bring in vital supplies to the country and reach international markets, to boost development and growth in the long term.”  
 
Al-Salem added that:” over the past years, the National Bank of Iraq has succeeded in obtaining a global reach, enabling it to attain trade finance limits from various correspondent banks. This outreach reflected positively on the volume of Letters of Credit (LCs) which amounted to over $700 Million in 2017. We cannot deny the paramount role that our strategic partner - Capital Bank of Jordan, which owns around 62% of NBI shares, had played in providing all means of support since 2005.”
 
“Cross-border trade has a positive impact on economies and also helps raise the bar for the banking sector,” said Wahbeh, “The facility will also enable the National Bank of Iraq to expand its correspondent network and support its business diversification strategy, which is vital for long-term sustainability.” 
 
The initiative is part of IFC’s $5 billion Global Trade Finance Program, which works with more than 600 partner banks worldwide, offering them partial or full guarantees and covering risks in transactions where cross-border trade is constrained.
 
Trade finance plays a key role in facilitating cross-border trade as it fills market gaps between importers and exporters by providing guarantees to banks. Supporting trade will help create much-needed jobs and reduce the poverty rate.
 
The agreement is part of IFC’s wider strategy to support the economies of fragile and conflict-affected states, helping them recover from years of severe decline.
 
Under the MOU, the IFC will provide the necessary support for NBI in order to enhance the bank’s corporate governance system, ensuring the implementation of best practices in this field.
