Directors general and heads of state bodies

This register lists the officials of director-general rank and above since 2003 at the state bodies that handle the most money: the ministries of Finance, Oil, Electricity, Trade and Health, their state companies and banks, the Central Bank of Iraq and the National Investment Commission. This is a first batch, and other bodies will be added. Ministers are in the register of office holders. The names, posts and dates come from official statements and from notices of appointment and dismissal as the press reported them, from news reports and interviews, and from the Central Bank's own pages as the Internet Archive kept them. Posts and years also draw on general reference pages, which are named as such. Each person carries one documented legal status. Where the status is not “Not charged as of the date of writing”, the entry says what it rests on and gives its source. Being listed here is not an allegation. In 26 further cases an official statement describes a director general by the post alone and withholds the name. These cases are kept in the notes of the register and are not attributed to anyone.
