A new shipment of cash dollars is expected to arrive in Iraq within the coming days, as part of understandings reached with the United States to ensure a continuous supply of foreign currency. The government spokesperson, Haider al-Aboudi, confirmed today,
Saturday, that this shipment is a result of discussions held by Prime Minister Ali Falih al-Zaidi during his recent visit to the United States. Al-Aboudi clarified that the agreement aims to meet the country's legitimate needs for dollars, indicating that these
understandings reflect the progress Iraq has made in strengthening its oversight mechanisms for distributing hard currency and regulating its uses. The efforts also aim to curb the misuse of foreign currency, alongside expanding the adoption of electronic payment methods and
moving towards a gradual transition to the digital economy.
