BAGHDAD / A member of the Baghdad Chamber of Commerce Zia al-Kaabi said on Monday that cutting Internet services in the country caused a loss of one million dollars, noting that the demonstrations in Basra caused a decline in the volume of trade exchange with Kuwait and Iran through the port of Shalamjah.
"The banks and financial transfer companies have started their work in Baghdad and the south of the country, but without interest, especially as the work systems are suspended and there is no contact with the financial system in the banks and their branches," al-Kaabi said in a statement.
"The same applies to commercial companies, transport and export offices, since the Interneb was a major engine," he said.
Al-Kaabi pointed out that "there are losses estimated at about one million dollars due to the disruption of the service of the World Wide Web," pointing out that "the demonstrations caused the decline in the volume of trade with Kuwait and Iran through the port of Shalamjah Basra, in addition to losses caused by the suspension of a number of airlines flights to airports Najaf and Basra International "
