CandyKisses:  Securities expect the dollar to fall after the budget is approved

Baghdad - Iraq Today:

The Chairman of the Securities Commission, Faisal Al-Hims, expected the markets to witness a decline in the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar after the approval of the general budget.

Al-Hims said in a statement that "the stability of the dinar rate will enhance confidence between investors and the Iraqi Stock Exchange, and it is expected that the exchange rates of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar will decline and stabilize after the adoption of the 2023 budget."

He added that "the Commission supports the Iraqi dinar and its stability must be a common interest," pointing out that "the Central Bank has taken measures to reduce the fluctuation of the exchange rate and expected its stability at 1320 dinars to the dollar."

Al-Hims attributed the fluctuation of the exchange rate to the failure to approve the budget and the failure to launch projects, calling for the government's support and the speed of budget approval to stimulate stability in the exchange rates of the dinar against the dollar.
