Is the US trying to prop up the dollar? If the dinar goes down further in value, Iraqis are gonna be pissed and start rioting in the streets. May even see an appearance by Al Sadr—he wants purchasing power for the people and he wants the US out of Iraq. 

[Fairways&Greens]

I’m hoping this is a positive sign. Stopping the sale of the dollar locally could indicate a change in the exchange rate at the beginning of the year. Let’s hope it goes in significantly on the right direction. Not just back to previous rate of 1170 in 2020.
