In a significant move towards sustainable development, Iraq's central bank has announced the introduction of climate banking licenses aimed at promoting financing for environmentally friendly projects. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the country's financial ecosystem while addressing pressing climate issues.
The central bank's decision reflects a growing recognition of the importance of green finance in fostering economic resilience and promoting sustainable practices.
