We have received confirmed information that some electronic payment companies have contacted foreign brokerage companies with the aim of attracting Iraqi investors and traders to trade foreign stocks outside the Iraqi financial markets by brokerage companies that are not licensed to practice this activity. We warn investors (individuals and companies) against being drawn into such calls because they are illegal. The Commission will take appropriate legal measures in cooperation with the Central Bank of Iraq against companies that violate the law, whether Iraqi or non-Iraqi.
