{Political: Al-Furates News} Advisor to Prime Minister Fadi Al-Shamri revealed that Prime Minister Mohammed Shiaa Al-Sudani will announce next week a new banking service for small traders that will lead to a decrease in the exchange rate and facilitate their work procedures.
“Those who manipulate the dollar are speculators and the government provides the dollar through official platforms and the government is not subject to extortion of speculators who seek to profit at the expense of citizens and at the beginning of the implementation of the platform there were problems related to time and now the delay was reduced for only three days,” Al-Shamri said in a televised statement.
He stressed that “food items have not been affected by the process of the rise of the dollar and the Prime Minister is seen on a daily basis the list of food prices in the local market and the government provides a food basket for 10 months for citizens, and 12 months for social welfare,” pointing out that “living issues certainly have not been affected by the dollar exchange rate and the government will not allow the exchange rate to affect food prices.”
He pointed out that “the services file is one of the most prominent challenges facing the government as it is continuing to implement its project and the government is working with an implementable strategic plan and the accurate daily follow-up of the Prime Minister is reflected in the great progress in work and daily follow-up of work that led to the progress of work from the scheduled schedule, and there are 190 basic and strategic projects in Baghdad alone, which is a precedent that happened for the first time and we will see a big leap in the value and quality of projects that will be launched in Baghdad and the rest of the provinces.”
Al-Shamri pointed out that “the current year the government faced serious challenges, including the budget and some budget items launched and the others are in the process of starting and in the previous budgets it usually needs 3 months with the lowest estimate to launch the budget allocations when the data is completed after its already late approval and we will get rid of the problem of delay and launching the budget allocations after the approval of the three-year budget.”
He explained that “the wisdom of the government’s dealing with various political actors and components is considered the most prominent feature of it with the realistic treatment of the solution of the files and the coordination framework is characterized by the unity of decision that was present in many of its scenes.”
Al-Shamdi revealed that “the Prime Minister is making contacts and making an exceptional effort in constructive communication with the leaders and heads of state of the region and the world, and Iraq seeks to mitigate as much as possible the escalation in the region, and what is happening in the region affects Iraq, considering that the Middle East is the heart of the world and Iraq is the heart of the Middle East.”
