Shafaq News/ The Central Bank of Iraq denied, on Sunday evening, the veracity of circulating news regarding stopping the supply of dollars to travelers at the official exchange rate of 1,320 dinars per dollar .
The bank stated in a statement received by Shafaq News Agency that “the process of supplying travelers with dollars is carried out regularly through an advanced electronic system, supervised by approved banks and exchange companies at airports, ensuring that foreign currency reaches those entitled to it through a transparent and rapid mechanism.”
The statement indicated that “the new mechanisms have facilitated travelers’ access to dollars and reduced the negative phenomena that had previously exploited this process by speculators.”
For his part, Diaa Al-Taie, head of the founding team of the Iraqi Money Changers Syndicate, denied that dollar sales to travelers at Iraqi airports had stopped.
Al-Taie told Shafaq News Agency, “The dollar-selling platform for travelers is operating normally so far, and there are no disruptions at any airports.”
Some social media platforms circulated news that dollar-selling platforms had stopped serving travelers, sparking fear and astonishment among Iraqis.
