The local economic expert, Salem Aziz, warned, on Tuesday, of a paralysis that will hit the Iraqi markets within 72 hours due to the developments of political and security events, noting that food prices rose by 20% within 24 hours. 

In an interview with Al-Information, Aziz said, "The average prices of fruits and vegetables and the rest of the basic food items increased by 20% in less than 24 hours due to the green events, with the increase in demand by up to 70%, which was caused by the people's concern, which prompted the increase in purchase rates." 

Aziz added, "80% of the products in the Iraqi markets, especially vegetables and the rest of the foodstuffs, are imported, and the chain of transport operations due to the ban on the main roads between the governorates will lead to paralysis in the markets within a maximum period of 72 hours in terms of an abnormal rise in prices, and we will be facing a crisis."

He pointed to "the need for flexibility in the movement of convoys around the clock between the governorates with the opening of markets and giving reassurance messages to the people that reduce the intensity of purchases that began to take a wide range due to fear of the continuing green crisis. link
