In An Economic Analysis.. Indicating The Most Prominent Reasons For The Variation In Dollar Prices In Iraq

Time: 2024/07/04 Read: 1,586 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} The economic expert, Salah Nouri, indicated that the American embargo is one of the most prominent reasons for the variation in the dollar price in Iraq.

Nouri explained via {Al Furat News} that: "Another reason that affects the disparity between the parallel market price of the US dollar and the official exchange rate is the US ban on each of {Russia, Iran, Syria}."

Nouri added, "Therefore, goods and merchandise cannot be imported from them through financial transfers via the electronic payment system of the Central Bank of Iraq, but rather by obtaining the dollar from the parallel market, i.e. increasing demand for it."

Stability of the price

In addition, the financial advisor to the Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, confirmed the stability of the dollar exchange rate against the dinar despite its significant rise today, reaching 1,500 dinars.

Salih told {Al Furat News} that the fixed exchange rate system in Iraq is based on the rule of international reserves, which is the highest in the history of Iraq and its monetary policy, as foreign currency covers more than 100% of the total currency currently issued.

In view of the strength of the official central exchange market, the exchange rate of the dollar to the dinar in the parallel market today in our country does not constitute any relative importance in influencing the stability of the general price level, which has become stable in its components and trends due to the influence of the official exchange rate factor currently dominating the financing of foreign trade (imports) amounting to 1320 dinars per dollar.

The selling prices in the field of exchange in the local markets with the closing of the main stock exchange in Baghdad today, Thursday, recorded 149,750 Iraqi dinars for 100 dollars, while the purchase amounted to 147,750 dinars for 100 dollars.  LINK
