July 29, 2024 Baghdad/Al-Masala: The Parliamentary Integrity Committee accused, on Monday, the Central Bank of Iraq of not being transparent regarding the dollar auction, and not providing data on the destinations where hard currency is spent, stressing that it will hold the bank’s governor, Ali Al-Alaq, accountable.
Committee member Hadi Al-Salami said, “There is a lack of transparency in the dollar auction, and the daily bulletin is not disclosed to know where the dollar goes and is sold through the auction. The bulletin is still secret, and only the amount of dollars sold is announced, and we do not know where this amount goes.”
He pointed out that "there is a parliamentary movement to hold the Central Bank Governor, Ali Al-Alaq, accountable, and the first step is to direct an oral parliamentary question, and we are waiting for his presence inside the parliament dome for the purpose of holding him accountable. "
He added, "There is an effort by some representatives to question the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, due to the failure, especially in the issue of controlling the dollar exchange rate, which is still significantly higher in the parallel market than the official price."
Al-Salami stressed that “some blocs and parties refuse to question the governor of the Central Bank, as there is political protection for him, despite the failure in tasks and work, and there are indicators and observations in the work of the Central Bank, especially the currency auction.” https://almasalah.com/archives/97046
