Imran Karkoush, a member of the State of Law Coalition, ruled out the government’s intention to change the value of the dinar and devalue it against the dollar, while simultaneously warning against taking decisions that would inflame Iraqi public opinion.
Karkoush told Al-Maalouma, “The government does not want to risk any decisions that might inflame Iraqi public opinion and thus directly affect the street, especially with the arrival of summer and the major problems that often accompany this season, namely energy, fuel, and other services.”
He added, “Since assuming his duties as Prime Minister, it is unlikely that al-Zaidi will take any decisions to raise the dollar exchange rate in local markets during his first 100 days in office, as such a decision would create a major problem, especially on the country’s economic level.”
He clarified that “the issue of the dollar exchange rate has not been studied by al-Zaidi’s government, nor has it been discussed by the current government, and the Prime Minister has not raised any such matter concerning the value of the dinar against the dollar.”
