A spokesman for the Ministry of Planning, Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi, told {Al-Furat News}, that "we do not have data on the loss caused by the approval of the fiscal budget for 2021," stressing that "the change in the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar had side effects. One of these effects is the rise of the materials." In general, the food, consumer and construction materials, which rose in varying rates, led to an increase in inflation levels in the country by 2/4 over the past three months. "
He continued, "During the period that has passed, the rise does not exceed one and a half percent, and as a result, when such a percentage occurs, which is 2/4, of course, there are some prices that may have risen to 20% or less or more, and that this price increase has cast a shadow over the vulnerable and poor who live below the line."

1460 dinars per dollar the selling price of foreign currency to banks.
1470 dinars per dollar is the selling price of foreign currency to the public.
The decision sparked a wave of anger in the Iraqi street as a result of the high prices of materials in general and their impact on low-income people.

Economy And Service Provision
Monday 15th March 2021 77 Sabah Mohsen Kazem
The economic organization of productive, consumer and investment activities, whenever it adopts scientific and methodology, will find outputs for immediate problems, bypassing local crises, ensuring price stability, financial liquidity, and securing commercial activities through economic sophistication rather than spontaneous, improvisational and prosthetic, which fills a crisis here so that a crisis emerges there.
From Adam Smith and his book The Wealth of Nations to Ricardo's sequence to post-neoliberalism, economists plan to solve all the dilemmas facing economic crises.
Therefore, the Iraqi legislator and all specialists, academics and researchers, must monitor failures and bottlenecks and find effective solutions, as we explained in the articles of agricultural development or industrial investment, and solve the problem of unemployment and inflation. Singapore and the Asian tigers also rose industrially, without relying on oil by expanding capital, housing and saving Services .
Our hope is for the big Faw project, the dry canal, the "sea, air and land" transit movement, the development of the resources of the customs ports, and the regulation of collecting water and electricity at a fixed price acceptable to all, balancing the poor and the rich to develop electrical capacity that contributes to industrial development, while encouraging private capital for local investment. Enough for malls. Going to diversified productive industries in all fields, such as the experience of neighboring Iran, despite the suffocating siege on it, but the diversification of industrial production alleviates the impact of the suffocating economic crisis.
John Kenneth Galbraith confirms with his book History of Past Economic Thought, The Image of the Present, p. 315: “Adaptation to economic reality is also met with resistance, just as it was in the past, because of the desire to view economics as a science in the academic world in which it is taught. Economics, the criterion of intellectual accuracy is decided in the natural sciences.
Economists and others working in the social sciences - an aspiration that may be inevitable - look to the intellectual standing of those working in chemistry, physics, biology and microbiology. This requires putting forward the assumptions accepted in economics, such as the composition of the neutron, proton, atom and molecule.
There is no doubt that the economic organization of resources creates comprehensive strategic development and provides services to citizens. Therefore, social problems decrease, and the citizen feels that the state takes care of his interests and does not seek the exclusion of a political class, without caring for the citizens, and every feeling of achieving development is reflected in economic and social stability, when basic health services are available. Education and municipalities. LINK
