A government team headed by Dr. Saleh Mahoud Salman, Advisor to the Prime Minister and Chairman of the Committee for Activating Electronic Payment Services, held a virtual meeting with regional managers at Apple Inc. to discuss the mechanisms and requirements for launching Apple Pay in Iraq.

This meeting comes as part of the Iraqi government's efforts, under the direct guidance of Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, to strengthen the infrastructure for electronic payment services and expand the use of modern technologies in support of financial inclusion and digital transformation programs.

The meeting was attended from the Iraqi side by Dr. Saleh Mahoud Salman, Advisor to the Prime Minister and Chairman of the Committee for Activating Electronic Payment Services; Adnan Asaad, Director General of Electronic Payment Systems at the Central Bank of Iraq; and Eng. Mohammed Al-Gharbawi, Director of Information Technology at the Communications and Media Commission.

On the Apple side, the event was attended by: Omar Al-Rifai, Director of Government Affairs for Apple Pay in the Middle East and Pakistan; Mike Powell, Director of Apple Pay Services in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa; Adham Fahmy, Director of Apple Pay Services in the Middle East and Africa; Prince Zander, Director of Legal Affairs for Apple Pay Services in Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa; and Sam Butcher, Legal Expert for Apple Pay Services.

During the meeting, the technical and administrative roadmap required to activate the service was reviewed, ways to integrate Apple Pay with the national electronic payment system in Iraq were discussed, and relevant technical inquiries were answered.

At the conclusion of the meeting, it was agreed to hold a follow-up meeting within the next two weeks to complete technical and operational preparations in preparation for the official launch of the service. This will align with the government's program to develop the electronic payments sector and support the move towards an integrated digital economy in Iraq.
