This increase included vegetables, fuel, household items, and others.
As a result, the purchasing power of families declined and the demand for basic items decreased significantly, according to what a shop owner assured us. There is anticipation of what the prices will be as the month of Ramadan approaches, which begins on the second of next April.

In this context, the Iraqi economic expert, Dr. Haitham Al-Nuaimi, comments on the phenomenon of high food prices, saying that “the Iraqi governments from 2003 until now have not adopted any economic policy to confront crises, as all that is issued by them is prosthetic solutions that burden the Iraqi citizen, and in In return, it leaves the market open for traders to manipulate the prices of materials.”
