Imran Karkoush, a member of the State of Law Coalition, confirmed on Saturday that the next government is required to put in place real and quick economic solutions to address the crisis of the rising dollar exchange rate and its direct impact on the prices of food and basic commodities in local markets.
Karkoush told Al-Maalomah News Agency, “The continued fluctuation in the dollar exchange rate directly impacts the livelihoods of citizens, especially the poor and middle classes who bear the greatest burden of rising prices.”
He added that “addressing the crisis requires integrated government measures that include strengthening financial stability, supporting local production, and tightening control over markets to reduce exploitation and unjustified price increases.”
He explained that “the stability of the exchange rate and the improvement of the economic situation would contribute to easing the pressure on the markets and achieving a balance in food prices within the country.”
It is worth noting that addressing the dollar exchange rate crisis is one of the most prominent challenges facing the incoming government, given its direct impact on citizens’ living standards and food prices.
