Tishwash: Expert: The exchange rate hike is caused by irresponsible statements
Economic expert Dawood Abd Zayer considered, on Tuesday, that what happened in the local market in terms of the rise in the exchange rate of the dinar is not responsible for the central bank, but rather it is caused by speculators taking advantage of irresponsible statements, stressing that the exchange rate will decrease in the coming days.
Zayer said in a statement to / the information /, that “the weakness of the financial culture in Iraq may make local speculators take advantage of this, and the statements of the existence of a proposal to raise the exchange rate of the Iraqi dinar against the dollar have been exploited, which led to local chaos, as the exchange rate is still stable at the Central Bank. “.
He added that "the irresponsible statements that do not have any basis on reality led to this fabricated chaos and that the exchange rate will return within the few days."
Abd Zayer demanded, "Officials, especially those who have no experience in the financial aspect, not to raise such statements because the only affected will be the general population of the poor and low-income because of the rise in foodstuffs and others, in addition to that it will be a free service for currency speculators." link

Mot: With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to Blondes exhibit,
One winter morning a husband and wife in southern Winnipeg were listening to the radio during breakfast.
They heard the announcer say, "We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through.
"So the good wife went out and moved her car.
A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, "We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through."
The good wife went out and moved her car again.
The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, "We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park..." Then the electric power went out.
The good wife was very upset, and with a worried look on her....face she said,
honey, I don't know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?"
With the love and understanding in his voice that all men who are married to Blondes exhibit, the husband replied,
"Why don't you just leave it in the garage this time?
