Bahaa Abdul Hadi, Chairman of Qi, affirmed that this vision extends beyond technology, saying: “Our goal is to build a more financially inclusive and
digitally connected Iraq. Financial inclusion is not merely a banking service; it is a pillar of economic development and improved quality of life.
Through investment in innovation and global partnerships, we continue to build a modern digital economy that serves all Iraqis.”

This vision reflects a broader shift underway in Iraq, where digital infrastructure has become a fundamental enabler of trade, investment,
government services, and cross, border transactions, opening new horizons for the national economy and deepening its integration into the global
economy.

Ali Hussein Munim, CEO of Qi, added: “Our journey was never about building a payments company; it was about building a fully integrated digital
ecosystem. In partnership with government institutions, financial partners, merchants, and technology providers, we continue to develop more
efficient, higher, impact services that support Iraq’s long, term economic development.”

Today, Qi’s focus extends well beyond digital payments, expanding into digital commerce, merchant enablement, financial services, artificial
intelligence, and digital infrastructure — built on the conviction that the future of the economy is not shaped by standalone services, but by
interconnected systems linking people to business, government, and markets.

As Money20/20 Europe 2026 drew to a close, Qi’s delegation carried home more than new meetings and partnerships, it carried a message: Iraq is
no longer watching digital transformation from a distance. It has become a partner in shaping its future.

At a moment when the world was debating the future of fintech, Iraq was telling a different story — the story of an economy in transition, national
companies building for the future, and a new generation that sees innovation as the path to development and prosperity.

That, perhaps, was the most important message Qi carried
