dijlahpoint - Real purchasing power in Iraq faces growing pressure as fixed nominal wages struggle to match the rising costs of essential goods, services, and import-driven prices influenced by currency exchange rates.

Economic analysts highlight that heavy reliance on imported goods expands the gap between nominal income and real purchasing capacity, affecting consumer behavior and commercial market activity.

Experts stress that stabilizing the market requires targeted interventions against inflationary drivers, transportation fees, and import costs to sustain public purchasing power effectively.
