Fluctuations in Local Markets: Dollar Prices Hit 155,250 Dinars Amid Cautious Anticipation of Monetary Policies

 The Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya stock exchanges in Baghdad witnessed a jump in foreign currency exchange rates today, Wednesday, with the selling price reaching 155,250 dinars per $100 bill. This price surge comes at a time when the region is experiencing geopolitical challenges that have affected air navigation and foreign currency cash flows designated for travelers. In this context, economic circles are awaiting interventions from the Central Bank of Iraq to regulate the parallel market, amidst a government trend toward enhancing reliance on electronic payment cards as an alternative to direct cash to ease pressure on the dinar during 2026.
