At Madrid, Bahrain pledged in-kind training for Iraqi central
bankers and bankers. The details were to be worked out
between Bahrain's and Iraq's central banks. In November, the
Governor of the Bahrain Monetary Agency (BMA) advised that
Iraq's central bank governor promised to visit Bahrain after
Ramadan to discuss the training offer and other bilateral
financial issues. The BMA Governor told us recently that he
is prepared to host his Iraqi counterpart when he can find
time in his schedule for a visit to Bahrain.
