Dollar Continues to Rise in Iraqi Markets, Surpassing 155,000 Dinar Threshold

 The dollar's exchange rate against the Iraqi dinar recorded a new increase in today's trading, Wednesday, April 22, 2026, surpassing the 155,000 dinar mark for the first time in weeks. Selling prices in local markets reached 155,250 dinars per $100, while the buying price settled at 154,250 dinars. Observers attribute this rise to increased cash demand coupled with logistical constraints facing hard currency shipments, despite continuous government assurances regarding the stability of foreign trade financing through official channels.
