The rise in the price of the dollar.
He pointed out, "The problem of the House of Representatives is the delay in resolving the 25 specialized committees and their incompleteness until this moment, and 70 replacement deputies have not been distributed, and the committee chairs are still run by the elderly."
Al-Kazemi added, "The Central Bank of Iraq bears the responsibility for raising the exchange rate, and the government must take serious measures to rein in this hike, and there should be a ready plan to address errors in the window for selling the currency."
And he stated, "The Iraqi-Iranian circulation was more during the time of the past government than the current government, and about 7 million dollars were spent, with the knowledge of the American side; but there are mistakes on the part of the Central Bank on the part of the currency window, and the money is not transferred to import."
He pointed out, "The central bank's agreement now with an international company to verify Iraqi financial transfers, and we should communicate with experts and the private sector in discussing this crisis and benefit from economic experts," calling for "the formation of a staff to deal with raising the price of the dollar."
Al-Kazemi continued, "There is a race today to buy the dollar, unlike yesterday, because of the media and psychological obsession, and the government must work hard not to keep any justification in front of the American side, and there must be a new method for disbursing the dollar through direct dealings with merchants instead of dealing with the window of private banks."
He attributed the rise in dollar prices to "several reasons, including the imposition of the US ban on 4 Iraqi banks, and then informing the Central Bank of the procedures for money transfers," describing them as "shocking measures that were not in prior coordination with the Iraqi government."
And Al-Kazemi added, "The measures taken that stopped some money transfers and the ban led to other banks' apprehension and fear of entering the currency auction in addition to political reasons, and the Council of Ministers assigned the Minister of Finance to approach the US Federal Reserve, so that there would be coordination with the Central Bank of Iraq in this regard."
On the other hand, Al-Kazemi criticized the dollar exchange procedure for travelers via Master Card, describing it as "it will not work to provide dollars in the local market, which is a discouraging experience." LINK
