11-25-2025 13,030 views Alsumaria News - Economy Economic researcher Manar Al-Obaidi revealed today, Tuesday, the reasons behind the surge in the dollar exchange rate yesterday in the parallel market in Baghdad and the provinces. Exchange rates jumped to 144,000 dinars per 100 dollars, after remaining stable between 40,000 and 141,000 dinars in recent weeks. Al-Obaidi stated in a post followed by Alsumaria News that "the Iraqi dinar witnessed a decline yesterday, coinciding with most speculators refraining from selling dollars, which created a state of confusion and anxiety in the markets." He pointed out that "despite widespread talk about an intention to change the official exchange rate, the Central Bank's statement was clear that there are no intentions to change the exchange rate." He explained that "the real movement in the market is not related to the official exchange rate, but rather to the imminent implementation of the pre-calculation mechanism for customs duties, a long-awaited step. Starting December 1, 2025, no bank will be allowed to execute any foreign transfer unless the customs duties have been pre-calculated." He indicated that "this mechanism will bring about significant changes, including a substantial increase in state customs revenues, control over customs evasion that has drained the country's resources for years, prevention of fictitious transfers used for speculation or money laundering, and a reduction in the volume of haphazard imports that consume a large portion of foreign reserves." He added that "any such radical reform will face widespread resistance, especially from speculators who will exploit every opportunity to raise the dollar's price, small traders who have not organized their commercial and banking transactions, and those who have benefited from the chaos in transfers and customs over the past years." He pointed out that "therefore, we expect a turbulent month of statements, pressures, and media hype," explaining that "if the mechanism is implemented correctly and continues without backsliding, it will be the biggest blow to customs smuggling operations in 20 years, and it is also capable of raising customs revenues to 6-8 trillion dinars, reducing the unreal demand for the dollar, and reducing unnecessary imports."
