ECONOMIST: THE BLACK MARKET FOR THE DOLLAR HAS BEGUN TO DISAPPEAR AND THE EXCHANGE RATE IS RISING TODAY DUE TO CHRISTMAS

The economic expert, Abdul Rahman Al-Sheikhli, believes that the black market for the dollar has begun to disappear and the exchange rate has risen today due to Christmas.

Al-Sheikhli said: For the {State Dialogue} program broadcast by Al-Furat satellite channel this evening, it said: “The government and its president, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, are determined to restructure and develop the performance of the governmental or private banking sector, as many of them do not perform their duty in the required manner, and the government clarified an economic vision that was very far from sight.” 

He added: “Dealing in the Turkish lira against the Iraqi dinar is a qualitative leap that needs to be replicated with the rest of the neighboring countries,” noting that “60-70% of small merchants do not have bank accounts.”

Al-Sheikhli continued, “The parallel market began to decline during the past two days, and today it rose slightly due to Christmas, and its rise is not correct,” noting that “the conflicting people and some black market traders are in control of the parallel market, and the security services are working hard to limit these, and the governorate councils will also have a supervisory role.” active”. 

He expected the dollar to fall “below 145 thousand dinars during the next stage, and the exchange rate to stabilize significantly in the coming year.”

 Al-Sheikhly added, “Economic and financial policy is dependent on political stability, and the focus must be on the source of the decision in the House of Representatives, which is represented by the parliamentary committees to follow up on financial policy.”

He stated, “The goods in the shopping centers in the governorates are very stacked, and the committees previously formed with the Ministries of Finance, Planning, and Trade must be reconsidered with the Central Bank to limit the entry of bad goods.”  

He pointed out, “The black market situation has begun to fade, and control over the entry of goods from unofficial outlets limits the expansion of the parallel market.”  

Al-Sheikhly concluded by saying, “Some general directorates collect large sums of money that are spent for the purposes of reconstruction and rehabilitation of buildings. This is not true. They must be included in the general budget and are supposed to form part of the state’s revenues.”
