Today, Thursday, the Parliamentary Integrity Committee announced its intention to take legal measures against the governor of the Central Bank after he refused to attend hosting it to follow up on the issue of the high exchange rate of the dollar.
A member of the committee, Hadi al-Salami, said in a statement to the official newspaper, which was followed by “Dijla”, that “the committee, after the continuous follow-up of the rise in the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar, which led to great resentment because of its great impact on the dealings of merchants and local markets and the direct impact of that on the strength of Citizens Daily, I sent a hosting invitation yesterday, Wednesday, to the Governor of the Central Bank to come to the committee and discuss the issue of returning the exchange rate to its previous one, but he refused to attend.
Al-Salami added, “The committee is determined to take legal measures against him, especially since he refused the committee’s request to send the details of the daily publication to the banks after sending him an official letter to that effect.”
He pointed out that “the Integrity Committee has the right to know the fate of foreign currency in the country, and to find out what is happening now, is it a monopoly or smuggling of hard currency.”
He pointed out that “there is a plan for the committee and continuous follow-ups regarding the rise in dollar prices, because of its direct and significant impact on the lives of citizens and the sustenance of their families.”
