[Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] OMAR: On television…the idea of revaluing the Iraqi dinar to go to 1 Iraqi dinar to equal 1 American dollar and it features Mazin al-Ashiqr…It’s also a Twitter/x post from Mazin al-Ashiqr. He’s sharing a clip from a television discussion. The Arabic text is something like, ‘The first step for the Iraqi economy is printing new currency – a dinar equal to $1.‘ …The economist is making it clear this is not an official action. This is a common debate in Iraqi media and politics…It’s nothing yet official. FRANK: It is very healthy to see a constant conversation about the need of a new exchange rate…The economists are delivering the truth about your monetary reform because the information is very critical to be absorbed by the Iraqi citizens NOW. :Frank26
