dijlahpoint - Iraq's exchange markets witnessed today, Sunday (September 20, 2026), a relative decline in the dollar's exchange rate against the dinar, after it had approached the threshold of 160,000 dinars per 100 dollars in recent days, a move that sparked widespread debate in economic and public circles.

According to economic sources, this decline does not necessarily reflect a real drop in prices, but is viewed as a "media-driven decline" promoted by certain parties, without translating into an actual and stable change in the local market.

In parallel, this decline coincided with field movements led by the competent security authorities, which launched a campaign to pursue and close a number of violating exchange offices that deal at unofficial prices outside the approved legal frameworks.

Experts believe that these measures may temporarily contribute to curbing price increases, but they do not represent a fundamental solution to the crisis of exchange rate fluctuations, unless accompanied by deeper economic steps to regulate the market and enhance monetary stability.
