The Iraqi Parliament paid attention to this matter, and some representatives began to raise their voices to dismiss the Governor of the Central Bank, Ali Al-Alaq, especially with what experts and specialists indicate of measures described as “arbitrary” against exchange companies, which in fact only take 5% of the total daily sales of the Central Bank, and with The Central Bank is stressing these companies with treatment that resembles “treason,” while experts confirm that one of the most prominent reasons for the rise in exchange rates over the past few weeks is reducing the share of exchange companies by half, which are supposed to sell dollars to travelers, as it was 100 thousand dollars. per day, and it was reduced to about 30 thousand dollars per day only, which means that the company is allowed to provide only 10 passengers with dollars.

The exchange companies announced that “the Central Bank has delivered a package of demands that contribute to the stability of the local market and support the private sector, the most prominent of which are:
