The Prime Minister's financial advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, confirmed on Sunday that Iraq's foreign exchange reserves are a safety net against economic fluctuations, noting that they are estimated at approximately $110 billion.

"Iraq's foreign exchange reserves are one of the most important indicators supporting investment, both domestic and foreign, as the country has a stable foreign exchange portfolio estimated at approximately $110 billion, distributed between gold, dollars, and foreign currencies," Saleh said in a statement to the official agency, followed by "Al-Eqtisad News."

He explained that "these reserves contribute to strengthening macroeconomic stability, both domestically and externally, making them a protective factor against global economic fluctuations and shocks. They also provide strong coverage for the monetary base and financial indicators related to trade and international debt maturing soon. "

He added, "The current account of the balance of payments is recording positive rates that enhance the stability of the value of the Iraqi dinar,thus reducing the impact of fluctuations in global oil markets, given the nature of Iraq's rentier economy." He noted that "Iraq, as the fifth largest oil producer in the world, enjoys sustainable foreign financial flows, enabling it to quickly and efficiently support its cash reserves."

He stressed that "these strong reserves provide a stable investment environment, which contributes to accelerating the pace of investment and supporting the country's promising economic growth."
