Time: 2025/03/16 19:29:30 Reading: 720 times  {Economic: Al Furat News} The Prime Minister's economic advisor, Mazhar Mohammed Saleh, revealed a new monetary strategy Sunday evening that seeks to reduce speculation.

Saleh said in a statement to Al-Furat News that: "A new monetary strategy aims to gradually attract foreign exchange transactions to the officially regulated banking system."

He explained that "this strategy focuses on expanding the base of buying and selling foreign currency at fixed and stable rates, in line with the current monetary policy."

Saleh emphasized that "these steps coincide with enhancing the freedom of the foreign exchange process, with a high commitment to transparency and money governance in line with international standards."

He pointed out that "this strategy is being implemented in an organized and precise manner by the Iraqi banking system, and specifically targets large transfers, especially those related to financing wholesale trade."

Saleh also pointed out "the importance of stimulating electronic banking transactions to reduce cash circulation, which contributes to feeding the parallel market with cash dollars, thus reducing speculative operations that take place outside the framework of the law."  LINK
