Tishwash: Economist: High oil prices forced the government to backtrack on its decisions regarding the dollar
Economic expert Ihssan Al-Kinani stressed the need to lift the blockade imposed on the Iraqi people because of the government's measures to raise the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar, pointing out that oil prices have returned to recovery and have achieved positive returns for the government, which is what makes it imperative for the government to reduce the exchange rate.
"The poverty rate in Iraq has risen to more than 40 percent, a number that raises suspicion, as this leads to an increase in the rate of crime, theft, terrorism and other acts that push the weak in search of any way to obtain money," Al-Kinani said to "the information ".
He added that "the government bears responsibility for its decisions about reducing the value of the dinar against the dollar, and increasing the poverty rate and its consequences for the Iraqi people, as the coming years will witness an increase in this percentage and Iraq may not be able to overcome its financial crisis."
And that "the government has made great profits in light of the rise in oil prices to more than $ 52 a barrel, whose value in dinars increased by 23 percent from last year, which calls on the government to lift the blockade it imposed on the people and restore the exchange rate to less than it is today. link

Quote: "The Ministry of Finance promised on Friday to make an amendment to the exchange rate of the foreign currency against the Iraqi dinar" ...this is when you say praise God.

I am excited about where we are...
