Economic researcher Diaa Abdul Karim said on Wednesday that there is anticipation and fear among the Iraqi public regarding a decision by the next government to change the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar.
Abdul Karim told Al-Maalomah, “The previous governments made a change in the exchange rate, and this matter has caused harm to the Iraqi street, especially at the level of the individual and the burdens of living.”
He added that “changing the exchange rate towards reducing the value of the dinar means an overall rise in prices, which is a matter that raises concerns among Iraqi citizens who have become accustomed to such decisions with the birth of new governments.”
He indicated that “there is an urgent need for assurances from those in charge of the political process or the largest bloc, to clarify the nature of the government program for the next phase, specifically whether it includes a change in the dinar’s value against the dollar or maintaining the status quo.”
