[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR:
The CBI just made it crystal clear to us Iraqi citizens that they are not planning any sudden depreciation of the Iraqi dinar. They said the rumors of the dinar being weakened to a drastically lower exchange rate are just not true. It is a concern of the CBI that the citizens understood this right now. They said on TV the official exchange rate is holding steadily at 1310 dinars to the US dollar and the banks got things under control with solid currency reserves.
