Ā šØ Iraq Has Tons of Bank Deposits ā But Why Isnāt the Economy Growing? šøš¤
The shocking truth:Ā Iraqās banking system holds overĀ 115 trillion dinarsĀ in deposits, but overĀ 85%Ā of that is stuck in government banks that act likeĀ āmoney vaultsāĀ ā NOT investing in the economy. Instead of fueling growth, most funds just sit there doing nothing. š±
Whatās going on?
NearlyĀ 80%Ā of deposits are in short-term, non-interest accounts that donāt create real economic value.
OnlyĀ 40%Ā of these deposits are lent out ā far below countries like Jordan (75%), Egypt (85%), and Turkey (100%+).
Shockingly,Ā 66%Ā of loans are for personal use or real estate, whileĀ less than 7%Ā support industries like agriculture and manufacturing.
Why does it matter?
Because Iraqās banks are stuck playing āsafeā and acting asĀ reservoirsĀ instead of engines of economic growth. Without real investment in productive sectors, the economy remains stuck in a cycle of consumption and wasted potential. š«š
How to fix it?
āļø Shift loans to productive sectors (agriculture, industry, renewable energy)
āļø Support small & medium businesses with state-backed financing
āļø Boost incentives for long-term savings
āļø Build partnerships with private investors for big projects
āļø Improve transparency & governance to regain public trust
Iraq isĀ NOTĀ short on money ā it just needs smarter, more productive banking policies! š”š„
