Al-Shammari said in a television interview this evening followed by {Euphrates News}: “The dollar file is a complex file and needs time to regulate the exchange rate, but government measures are moving in the right direction.”
“The Central Bank of Iraq is coming to a set of measures to control small traders and their trade exchange, and they constitute 40% of market traders,” he added.
Al-Shammari said that “within 72 hours, papers and proposals on the dollar will be presented after an extensive meeting of the Prime Minister with Iraqi financial institutions.”
“There is a serious discussion of the government and the Central Bank with the Iranian side to look for alternatives to dollar trade,” he continued, denying “there are US pressure or punitive attempts on Iraq because of the dollar.”
He pointed out that “there are commitments to standards in the exit and sale of the dollar and this requires time and adaptation of the market to it.”
He revealed that “Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s scheduled visit to Iraq is linked to the completion of the measures of the development path project.”
