Viewing cable 08BAGHDAD947, OPIC FINANCE: IRAQ MIDDLE MARKET DEVELOPMENT

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

FOUNDATION 
 
REF: STATE 30627 
 
The Iraq Middle Market Development Foundation (IMMDF) is well 
and favorably known to Embassy Baghdad.  To answer reftel 
request, we are not aware of any ties to terrorism, money 
laundering, corruption or violations of the law associated 
with IMMDF.  In fact, we strongly support the work IMMDF does 
to bring open transparent investment to Iraq at this critical 
juncture in its history.  We have no objection to OPIC's 
proposed Direct Loan to IMMDF.
