How Long Can Iraq Rely On The Central Bank's Reserves, Money-Printing Scheme To Survive?

Mahmood Baban  30-07-2026 For four months, despite an 83 percent decrease in its revenue, Iraq has still been able to cover its monthly expenses; above all, seven trillion Iraqi dinars (about $5.3 billion) for wage earners, including the Kurdistan Region.
