Baghdad / Al-Mada
- The financial advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, denied the existence of any plan or program by the Iraqi government to change the exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar, stressing that this matter has not been discussed in any way.
Salih said yesterday, Wednesday, in a press statement, that "the issue of the currency's value has not been discussed in any way," in response to rumors circulating about the possibility of changing the official exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar.
The Iraqi Prime Minister's advisor, Ali al-Zidi, pointed out that "recently, several official statements and declarations have been issued denying all claims about any discussion or intention to change the current exchange rate of the dinar."
These statements come at a time when rumors about changing the official exchange rate of the dinar against the dollar resurface periodically in the markets of Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.
The exchange rate of 100 US dollars was fixed at 130,000 Iraqi dinars in Iraq's three-year budget law for the years 2023, 2024, and 2025.
