Global banks eye Iraq but questions remain - Your Middle East

Global banks eye Iraq but questions remain - Your Middle East:

"Interest by Citibank and Standard Chartered to expand into Iraq highlights the vast potential of the country's banking sector, but the experience of a global rival points to the many pitfalls they must navigate.

With tens of millions of potential customers, few of whom have bank accounts, the country could provide a windfall for firms that manage to grab a foothold.

Iraqis are on the hunt for a full range of services, from current accounts to insurance and mortgages, little of which is currently on offer."
