Banking expert, Mahmoud Dagher, on Wednesday, ruled out the possibility of the Central Bank of Iraq preventing dealing in dollars in the country.
Dagher told Jarida , “The Central Bank cannot prevent dealing in the dollar, as there is nothing in the banking law or in the instructions of the Central Bank that supports this approach, so they have no right, and dealing in the dollar will continue as dealing with the dinar.”
He stressed that “there are huge bank accounts for depositors in dollars, so it is unlikely to prevent dealing with it,” stressing the necessity of “arranging the status of the dinar instead.” LINK
