Tishwash: Al-Alaq: Next year will see all internal commercial and other transactions limited to the Iraqi dinar instead of the dollar
Today, Sunday, the Central Bank announced the provision of the dollar at a price of 1,320 dinars, which was a reason for controlling the general level of prices.

He added, "This came after an agreement between the Central Bank of Iraq and the US Federal Bank, similar to countries around the world, where central banks do not perform executive duties, and their role is focused on supervision and control."
Al-Alaq confirmed, during the meeting with the heads of the boards and authorized directors of the banks licensed in Iraq, that “the Central Bank’s endeavor to open channels of direct communication for Iraqi banks with their foreign counterparts in correspondence, commercial exchange, etc. came in intensive stages, while what is currently being done is opening transfer channels in various currencies, including (UAE Dirham, Turkish Lira, Indian Rupee, Euro).”
He continued, "The coming year will see all internal commercial and other transactions limited to the Iraqi dinar instead of the dollar, except for those delivered to travelers." link
