Question "Does Iraq need to change their exchange rate in order to be part of a currency basket?"

In the news lately Iraq has talked about expanding their currency basket but somehow, some way, that ended up being that Iraq wanted to be part of a currency basket...I did the research...'In order for Iraq to be part of a currency basket it may need to consider changing its exchange rate.' Slow down. Don't get excited. It says, 'It may need to consider changing its exchange rate.'...If Iraq was actually being invited to join the currency basket then I would say with confidence Iraq must be doing very very good in order to be invited.

They've been talking...for the past couple weeks or even couple months - They want people now to start taking pride in their currency, start using their currency. Their goal is to strengthen Iraqi dinar and one of the steps they needed to do was get rid of the US dollar.

Surge in Searches for US Dollar Exchange Rate in Iraq Reflect Rising Dollar Value, 14 DEC

In recent times, a noteworthy uptick in searches related to the exchange rate of 100 U.S. dollars in Iraq has been observed across various internet search engines. This surge of interest, coming predominantly from citizens residing in different provinces of Iraq, is directly linked to the escalating value of the U.S. dollar. The rising dollar value has piqued the interest of many, resulting in a daily follow-up on the USD/IQD exchange rate.

Exchange Rates on December 13th

As of Wednesday, December 13th, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the Iraqi dinar was recorded at around 1,310.5000 Iraqi dinars. However, a different picture emerged in the parallel market, colloquially referred to as the ‘black market’. Here, the U.S. dollar was trading at 50.00 Egyptian pounds for buying and 51.00 Egyptian pounds for selling in Egypt.

The Iraqi Dinar in the Parallel Market

In the parallel market, the Iraqi dinar exchange rate stood at approximately 37.96 Egyptian pounds for buying and 38.72 Egyptian pounds for selling. The stark difference in these rates indicates the volatility and unpredictability inherent in currency exchange markets.

Live Currency Rates and Historical Data

Real-time currency rates for USD to IQD, along with a live currency converter, conversion table, exchange rate history for the last week, and live charts for USD to IQD were also provided. Platforms like TorFX were suggested for international money transfers, promising free transfers with zero fees for amounts exceeding £2000.

The exchange rate was recorded as 0.0008 Dollars for one Iraqi Dinar, with the provision for users to sign up for exchange rate alerts and access historical exchange rate data. The current exchange rate was notably higher compared to the previous day’s rate, sparking curiosity and concern among followers of the USD/IQD exchange rate.
