Article: “AL-ALAQ: CENTRAL BANK PACKAGES CONTRIBUTED TO THE STABILITY OF THE DOLLAR EXCHANGE RATE” Quote: “the governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, announced the stability of the dollar exchange rates after the three packages launched by the bank during the last period.” Yes, kudos to Al-Alaq, hip, hip array!!!! Quote: “the central bank’s reserves are within international standards.” In fact way over the required reserves of about $45 billion as told to us years ago by the IMF.
