Clare: Economist explains why the dollar fluctuates
Economic researcher Alaa Al-Fahd diagnosed, today, Saturday, a factor that caused the dollar price to rise against the Iraqi dinar in the parallel market.
Al-Fahd said in a press interview that “the fluctuations in the dollar exchange rate in the parallel market came as a result of the Central Bank of Iraq taking new measures regarding selling currency to travelers and delivering amounts from the airport exclusively.”
He added, “When there are new measures, there are fluctuations in exchange rates,” noting that “there are those who try to raise concerns with any new measures taken by the Central Bank in order to benefit some speculators.”
The economic researcher pointed out that “the Central Bank has reassured more than once that it will continue to sell the currency and cover all needs, whether for imports or travel, and there are no concerns.” link

Militia Man Article: “Prime Minister’s Advisor: Iraq in the process of paying off long-term development loans to the World Bank” It looks like Iraq’s financial situation is solid as they get effectively.
