A member of the Parliamentary Economic and Investment Committee, Mazen Al-Faily, warned, on Tuesday, of the Ministry of Finance continuing its policy of restricting citizens and fighting them over their livelihoods, through the dollar exchange paper.
“The Minister of Finance, Ali Allawi, is still insisting on raising the price of the dollar and restricting citizens, especially those with limited income, despite the rise in oil prices and growing oil revenues,” Al-Faili said in a statement to the agency.
He added, “The only affected by the ill-considered increase in the price of the dollar are the poor and the low-income segment,” noting that “the continued rise in the exchange rate of the dollar against the dinar will be more lethal for citizens in the coming days.”
The economist, Wissam Al-Tamimi, said yesterday, Monday, that international oil prices will rise from the current price by a few dollars, indicating that the current and future rise must be matched by a reduction in the dollar exchange rate in the local markets.
