Baghdad today – Baghdad
Economic expert Ahmed Al-Tamimi confirmed today, Wednesday (March 6, 2024), that the dollar crisis in Iraq is behind c--------n mafias, with political protection from some influential people and entities that are trying to obstruct economic reforms.

He added, “These mafias have political protection from some influential people and parties, and these parties work politically to create problems so that any government efforts that want reform fail. This is why we see that the dollar crisis is still continuing and ongoing despite all government steps. The parallel market is still witnessing a significant increase.” at the official price.
Exchange rates have not stabilized for nearly two years, despite many measures taken by the government to try to control it, all of which failed, due to the existence of political “protection” for the black dollar, according to observers.
A member of the Parliamentary Finance Committee, Mudar Al-Karawi, confirmed on Tuesday (March 5, 2024) that the government has achieved good success in containing Iraq’s most dangerous economic files, represented in depreciating the value of the dollar prices and limiting its rise again.
Al-Karawi told Baghdad Today that “the dollar in the parallel markets has been a source of wealth for some for years and a drain on the country’s resources in various ways, especially with smuggling in a way that threatens Baghdad’s economy and pushes the dinar to frequent collapse, which puts pressure on the markets and plunges the country into the maze of sanctions.”
He added, “The government’s measures have achieved a glimmer of hope in confronting and the most dangerous economic files by reducing the value of the dollar and stopping its rise, even if in limited proportions, but it gave strength to the dinar and dealt with a good percentage of the smuggling file and seeking to end the dollarization of the file in the markets and move to electronic payment.”
Al-Karawi pointed out that “all government measures face obstacles and in different ways because the dollar was and is still the resource of the d--------e and some c-----t people and those who lived on crises in increasing their wealth in different ways,” pointing out that “strengthening the strength of the dinar and filling smuggling gaps will hit the interests of many at home and abroad, and thus many parties will move to sabotage the joy of citizens in the presence of correct economic paths that contribute to saving the economy and pushing it to recover after lean years.”
“The government’s measures are moving in the right direction despite the side pressures, but they give stimulus to achieve economic growth and ensure that the file of smuggling, c--------n and the depletion of hard currency are addressed in various ways,” he said.
Last Sunday (March 3, 2024), Prime Minister Mohamed Shia al-Sudani stressed that depreciating the exchange rate means giving the dollar to “i-----l” trade.
Al-Sudani said during his participation in the opening of the activities of the Rafidain Forum for Dialogue in Baghdad, that “the financial situation in Iraq is at its best and the collection of commercial transactions is through commercial institutions.”
“We give the student, the patient, the trader, the contractor and the investor the dollar at the official rate,” he said, pointing out that “the notes recorded on Iraqi banks from the US Treasury are at the time of previous governments.” “
