Trade Bank of Iraq aims to speed reconstruction finance
The U S led coalition creates the Trade Bank of Iraq with a 5 million initial capitalization and a 100 million pool to guarantee payment for imported goods. The bank will be funded from the Development Fund for Iraq and overseen by the finance minister chosen by the Governing Council. The move seeks to reassure exporters and expedite power, sewage, and oil field equipment supplies while Iraqi resistance continues and roadside incidents rise. The Iraqi commander also met Kuwaiti officials on his first visit since taking command.
