It had been in the past, and to reverse its decision, which he described as “blundering.” And a statement by the coalition said yesterday, "The complications and effects of the decision to raise the unfair exchange rate of the dollar are still continuing and increasing, and its shocks are intensifying on the majority of the Iraqi people," noting that "the Ministry of Planning indicated terrifying numbers and percentages in the escalation of poverty and unemployment rates, which amounted to 31 percent, out of the total The people, and stressed that one of the most important causes of these tragedies is the decision to raise the price of the dollar.” He continued: “We have explained on more than one occasion the error of this decision and that the justifications for its marketing are flimsy and invalid, whether they are justifications for filling the budget deficit, as the selling price of oil has risen to nearly $84 per barrel, or justifications for combating the smuggling of hard currency.
