Update on #MyAccount: Over 11,000 civil servants and pensioners registered in Slemani today.
In the last month, more than 60,000 people on the KRG payroll have registered for the KRG’s financial inclusion project.
Prime Minister @masrourbarzani spent the day in Duhok — chatting with families and shopkeepers enjoying uninterrupted 24/7 power under #Runaki.
Biggest benefit: peace of mind for families and increased output for businesses.

More than 50,000 teachers are being paid digitally this month — in minutes across Kurdistan.
Nearly 192,000 civil servants and Peshmerga will be paid through bank accounts this month. That’s nearly $150m through @cbiraq-licensed banks.
Good news for the economy. #MyAccount
Over 500,000 public sector beneficiaries have now registered for current bank accounts.
One participating bank will soon announce loans of up to 40 million IQD for any KRG beneficiary registered in the #MyAccount initiative — with zero collateral requirements.
The naysayers were wrong.

The first ATM hubs are now fully in service in Suli and Duhok, transforming the public's engagement with their government.
More than 11,000 Peshmerga across Kurdistan received stipends through their new bank accounts. All will move before the end of the year.

Prime Minister @masrourbarzani requested a clarification from the federal court last month regarding the use of public and private banks for KRG's financial inclusion initiative, #MyAccount.
He argued that KRG employees, like Iraqi citizens elsewhere in the country, have the right to freely choose their bank, as long as the bank is licensed by the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI).
The federal court responded publicly today, clarifying that public and private banks licensed by the @cbiraq and present in the Kurdistan Region can participate in the domiciliation of public sector salaries. It added that KRG employees have an inherent right to pick their bank, reaffirming KRG's rights under the law.
This clarification reinforces the CBI's role as the sole regulator of the banking sector. We will continue working with them to expand payment options in the coming months.
We are very pleased with today's clarification. We will now accelerate our goal of reaching one million accounts by the end of 2024. This is Prime Minister @masrourbarzani's promise.
We look forward to expanding partnerships with other private banks in the months ahead.

Water scarcity in Iraq and beyond threatens agriculture, food security and stability.
To tackle it, we are investing in dams across the Kurdistan Region.
The Chamrga dam stores over a million cubic meters of water for nearby farmers and communities.
