The autonomy of the CBI shall be respected and no person or entity shall seek improperly to influence any member of a decision-making body of the CBI in the discharge of his duties towards the CBI or to interfere in the activities of the CBI.

The Central Bank Of Iraq is autonomous/independent from the Government of Iraq. They have the control over the currency. Parliament has nothing to do with it.
