The Dollar Pushes The Iraqi Dinar To Confrontation.. And The Market Movement Is Stagnant, 28 JULY

 {Economic: Al Furat News} The US dollar pushes the Iraqi dinar to confront and stabilize at a certain number, while local markets become stagnant.

Economic expert, Basem Jamil Antoine, told {Euphrates News} that: "The reasons for the stability of the dollar exchange rate are due to a number of factors, including the stagnation in economic and commercial activity, which is considered weak in all markets in Baghdad and Iraq, and shopping activity is weak during the month of Muharram."

He added, "During the month of Muharram, there is stagnation in commercial activity, no shopping, and inactivity, and economic activity in general is almost at a standstill, in addition to being in the hands of the state in general; therefore, there is no active commercial activity or demand for the dollar; because the private sector is mainly the one that buys the dollar to import, and in the absence of demand, it remains stable."

Antoine added, "Also, the rise in exchange rates is faster than their fall, and this process needs to be reviewed, as traders who bought the dollar do not sell it at a loss, which is one of the reasons for the stagnation, stagnation, and weak economic activity, in addition to the high temperatures that play a major role in the productivity of the individual or citizen, which is weak."

In addition, the Parliamentary Investment Committee confirmed the impact of the fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate on investment projects.

The buying and selling prices of the US dollar in local markets have ranged between 150,500 and 150,250 dinars for days.

The exchange rates of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar today, Saturday, were as follows:

Selling price 150,250 dinars.

Buying price 148,250 dinars for every 100 dollars.  LINK
