Wayne, I checked Iraqs banking system with what the CBI had to offer as to names and addresses. As you had probably seen as myself like a years ago or so they now list 7 state run banking systems, 21 private banking systems, 4 Foreign banking systems and 7 Islamic. I would think that the State run banking systems might be their avenue and first political push rather then the private banks, yet the private systems would allow, or might, a whole lot of business leverage for competition in my thoughts. As for the Foreign banks I just am not sure, and forget about that last banking system mentioned!
