We congratulate Emanuel Salinas Muñoz, alumnus of the Accounting Undergraduate Program at ITAM, for his appointment as World Bank Country Manager for Iraq, being the first Latin American to represent this institution to the Middle East. In his new role, Emanuel will be in charge of leading the high level dialogue with the iraqi government and managing a project portfolio and assistance for more than three billion dollars, oriented to economic, social and politic recovery of Iraq. 

With over 20 years of trajectory in the World Banks, Emanuel has held key positions, like Country Manager for Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro, as well as representative for the development of the financial and private sector for Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. He also led macroeconomic, competition, employment and battle against poverty programs in South Asia, with special focus in Sri Lanka and the Maldives.
