The U.S. is not a hold up. You guys can call it like that but the US is not a hold up. They want to really help the economy in Iraq. Because they destroy it, now they want to build it again. They're waiting for the right moment to put it back normal.

1310...1160...1400 never worked. They just come out with number and give it to us and sometime you wake up and they take 1310 and sometime you can wake up and they tell you 1160 and sometime 1400...Don't tell me it worked because I know in my heart it's not 1310. It never worked for 21 years. It made the people poor. It made the economy bad. If it's going to stay like that the next couple of years it's going to make the economy worse. They're going to have to change it.

Urgent In numbers.. The Central Bank buys dollars from the Ministry of Finance in an unprecedented move since 2003
An economic expert revealed an “unprecedented” figure for the value of the dollars purchased by the Central Bank of Iraq from the Ministry of Finance during the month of July.
The Central Bank of Iraq purchased $9.6 billion from the Ministry of Finance in July 2024, the highest value since the bank began purchasing dollars from the ministry in 2003," Manar Al-Obaidi said in a statement received by {Euphrates News}. He added, "The purchases did not exceed this value during the past ten years except once in October of last year, at $10 billion."
Al-Obaidi explained, "Thus, the rate of dollar purchases from the Central Bank for the year 2024 has reached $5.9 billion per month, the highest over the past ten years, with an annual growth rate of 10%. The growth rate had previously risen in 2023 to 20%."
He attributed "this increase in purchases to the Ministry of Finance's need for local currency to cover its increasing expenses over the past years, especially with the increase in operating spending and raising the level of spending in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 budgets."
Al-Obaidi expected that "this rate will rise in the coming months with the Central Bank's inability to meet the need for Iraqi dinars, which may force it to increase the issued monetary mass to meet the ministry's expenditure needs." link

Iraq: Qusay Shafiq reveals major financial scandals and demands investigation
Public money scandals continue in Iraq
Dr. Qusay Shafiq, a well-known activist on social media, sparked widespread controversy after revealing huge financial scandals related to the management of public funds in Iraq. He accused the government and parliament of manipulating the financial budget tables, wondering about the fate of tens of billions of dollars that were not spent transparently.
Shafiq referred in a tweet on the “X” website to what he described as the “theft of the century,” which the Integrity Commission estimated at $2.5 billion, equivalent to 4 trillion Iraqi dinars. However, he expressed his surprise at the large gap between this figure and the ongoing corruption in manipulating the budgets of recent years, as he revealed that the manipulation of the 2024 budget tables reached about $10 billion.
In a related context, Shafik touched on the Food Security Law, noting that about $20 billion has been allocated to it, but he wondered about the entities that monitored the disbursement of this money, stressing that the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank have not received any of this money so far. He added, “$10 billion was spent on infrastructure projects, but where did the remaining $10 billion go?”
Shafik discussed the budgets of previous years, including the budgets of 2014, 2020, 2022, and 2023, noting that no funds were disbursed to the governorates from the 2023 budget. This raised questions about how the authorities deal with public funds, especially in light of the Central Bank’s report, which indicated that the cash reserve had not increased despite the significant rise in oil prices due to regional conflicts.
Qusay Shafiq concluded his statements by calling for a comprehensive investigation into previous financial deals, stressing that the people’s money is a trust that must be preserved. These statements come at a time when Iraq is witnessing increasing pressure from citizens and international observers, who are demanding greater transparency and accountability in the management of public funds.
Shafiq's statements are a strong call for regulatory bodies and government authorities to take urgent action to curb corruption and clarify the fate of the allocated funds, as the Iraqi people await answers on how their financial wealth is managed. link
