Financial expert and member of the Central Bank of Iraq’s board of directors, Ahmed Brihi, confirmed on Thursday that media reports of a cash liquidity crisis affecting salary disbursements are inaccurate and contain significant exaggerations and misinformation. He emphasized that salary disbursements are safe and currently face no risks.
In a statement to Al-Maalouma, Brihi said, “The repeated talk on some satellite channels about the existence of a cash liquidity problem and its impact on salary delays is not based on reality, but rather includes unjustified exaggerations.” He pointed out that “salary delays – if they exist – are often due to technical and administrative reasons, and have nothing to do with a lack of liquidity.”
He added that “the concept of cash liquidity is sometimes misunderstood,” noting that “the issue is not a shortage of cash available to the government, but rather sometimes relates to providing new revenues to the federal budget or activating borrowing mechanisms, whether domestic or foreign.”
Brihi pointed out that “government payment procedures are proceeding normally, and there are currently no concerns regarding the disbursement of salaries.”
