A student’s delegation of the American University of Iraq-Baghdad’s (AUIB’s) College of Business visited the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), where they were received by the Director-General of the Investment and Foreign Remittances Department, Dr. Mazen Sabah Ahmed, who expounded on CBI’s key responsibilities, structure, and functions, as well as the broad skill-set required to carry out the former.
Dr. Ahmed expressed his admiration of AUIB’s development of such a well-rounded education, and culture of “self-education,” fostering the “ability and desire to learn,” pointing out the importance of continuing education, as “international certificates are in great demand.” and as an advisor to the Government on monetary and fiscal policies alike. Consequently, this broad set of responsibilities and functions requires a CBI cadre with a wide range of skills and expertise, including technical, managerial, lingual, and communication skills, and above all, a “mentality of critical thinking and problem-solving.”
The American University of Iraq – Baghdad is a non-profit university founded in 2018. It currently has eight colleges.
