The oil expert, Hamza Al-Jawahiri, said on Sunday that setting the price of Russian oil by Europe will raise prices to 300 dollars per barrel.

CandyKisses: The formation of the Sudanese government pushes the Iraqis again to demand a decrease in the exchange rate of the dollar
With the formation of a new Iraqi government, demands were renewed to change the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar.
And members of the House of Representatives demanded the inclusion of the voting paragraph on restoring the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Iraqi dinar to its previous official rate in the schedule of the upcoming sessions. But the Central Bank of Iraq reiterated that there are no intentions to change the exchange rate.
The Finance Committee of the House of Representatives describes that what some are promoting about the possibility of Parliament issuing decisions that restore the dollar exchange rate to what it was in the past, are nothing but auctions and tickles the feelings of the street.
The leader of the Al-Hikma Movement, Fadi Al-Shammari, said that the parliamentary talk about changing the exchange rate is a scandalous bidding of no value, adding that the biggest beneficiaries are currency traders and speculators.
Journalist Daoud Hashem considered, in a tweet on Twitter, that the corruption of those in charge was behind raising the exchange rate under the title of economic reform, adding that the markets have been balanced and prices will not go down because the state does not have the tools now.
The exchange rate has become a table among both popular and elite circles.
Economic expert Salam Sumaisem believes that the cost of restoring the dinar to its old price against the dollar will be very high, adding that what is rumored now is for the purpose of political propaganda or speculation to reduce the price of the dollar to get it at a cheap price.
On the shoulders of many Iraqis, the question is whether the political forces and blocs that were calling for devaluing the exchange rate will be able to achieve this after their participation in the Sudanese government.
Political analyst Nazir Al-Katib suggests that the exchange rate will not be reduced to what it was previously, speaking of two direct reasons, the first of which is external factors such as the World Bank and the Paris Club, which absolutely control and control Iraqi financial resources, and the second: If the government agrees to reduce the exchange rate, the political class The governor will have to lose 40 to 60 billion dollars annually, which will go as differences in salaries and other operating wages and the like.
The decision of any change in the dollar exchange rate is exclusively the prerogative of the Central Bank.
Economic observers believe that decreasing the dollar exchange rate, a project that will not succeed, because the change in the exchange rate is originally part of the reform program of the Central Bank in coordination with the Iraqi financial policy in order to raise the financial reserves in the Central Bank and prevent the smuggling of hard currency out of the country.
On December 19, 2020, the Central Bank of Iraq announced the adjustment of the US dollar exchange rate to 1450 dinars, instead of 1200 dinars, for every 100 dollars.
