主题：开年键政 -- 胡里糊涂

据外媒报道，

Last year, the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York began enforcing stricter controls on international transactions by Iraqi commercial banks, forcing them to comply with specific SWIFT global transfer system criteria to access their foreign reserves.

The move was allegedly meant to "curtail money laundering and the illegal siphoning of dollars to Iran and other heavily sanctioned [West Asian] countries."

However, the sudden rules change for Iraqi banks sent the economy reeling as 80 percent or more of Iraq’s daily US dollar wire transfers could no longer be completed.

【去年，美国财政部和纽约联邦储备银行开始对伊拉克商业银行的国际交易实施更严格的控制，迫使它们遵守特定的 SWIFT 全球转账系统标准以获取其外汇储备。

据称，此举旨在“遏制洗钱和非法将美元转移到伊朗和其他受到严厉制裁的 [西亚] 国家。”

然而，银行规则的突然变化导致经济陷入困境，伊拉克每日 80% 或更多的美元电汇无法再完成。】
