The correspondent of Iraq 24 confirmed that the Iraqi street is waiting for what will result from the questioning of the governor of the bank in the parliament session, especially since there is a divergence of views between the representatives and the various parliamentary bodies.

He adds: Some explain that the attempts to raise the value of the Iraqi dinar are to reduce the value of the deficit in the 2021 budget, which rose with the increase in the value of the dollar during the last period and the reform white paper policy.

The correspondent states: Citizens today are living with high prices for goods and commodities after raising the exchange rate of the dollar while continuing to express their great dissatisfaction with this decision, which it is hoped will be changed or withdrawn after today's questioning session in Parliament for the governor.   link
