Tishwash: Including US sanctions.. An economist determines the reason for the rise of the dollar against the dinar again
Today, Monday, the economist Nabil Jaafar Al-Marsoumi identified two factors that caused the rise of the dollar currency against the Iraqi dinar, while he indicated that the rise is outside the will of the Central Bank of Iraq.
The expert said in a statement to Earth News: “It is clear that no one can rein in the dollar, and today it reached 155 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars, which is the largest since the exchange rate was adjusted six months ago, and it also seems that the dollar is likely to rise in the coming days.”
And he added, “Because of two factors, the dollar rose. The first is the US sanctions on 14 Iraqi banks, and that makes there are 18 Iraqi banks under US sanctions, meaning that they are prevented from using bank transfers through the electronic platform.”
He continued, “This also indicates, on the other hand, that the matter is outside the will of the Central Bank of Iraq, as it does not have the tools that can rein in the dollar and everyone who used it did not work, because the cash dollar today is badly needed in the Iraqi market in order to finance large imports with Iran to reach 10 billion dollars annually and some imports from Syria and from some Turkish companies.”
And between “therefore, as long as Iran in particular is under US sanctions, and as long as the United States of America does not allow the dollar to be transferred to it through banking channels, the pressure on the dollar will increase, and thus the exchange rate of the parallel dollar will rise, and it will rise a lot in the coming days when it is unleashed and the 2023 budget is implemented, which will lead to an increase in public spending in Iraqi dinars to double, considering this is the month of August, and that would put pressure on the dollar.”
He pointed out, “Because this large spending will lead to an increase in the demand for consumer and investment goods, most of which are imported goods from abroad, and thus the need for the dollar will increase and the gap will widen in the coming days.”
