Today, Friday, a member of the House of Representatives, Salem Al-Anbuki, explained the impact of restarting factories on the dollar in the Iraqi markets, while pointing to the factors of pressure on the parallel market.
Al-Anbaki said in an interview with Al-Ma’louma, “The most important factors putting pressure on the parallel market and pushing dollar prices to rise is the lack of national products that enable them to contain market demands for many goods, which leads to the import of approximately 95% of needs, which requires the availability of hard currency.” To the dollar.
He added, “Reconsidering the national economic strategy, pushing factories and laboratories to produce, and closing the large gap in the import balance will reduce the demand for the dollar by no less than 70%, which means a greater decline and gives greater flexibility in the markets.”
He pointed out that “the rise in the dollar causes severe harm to more than 13 million people who are below the poverty line because of its impact on raising prices, especially basic food items.”
The currency market in Iraq is witnessing a rise in the dollar exchange rate in recent weeks, especially as it approaches breaking the barrier of 170 thousand dinars per 100%.
