She added, “The Iraqi government’s insistence on its refusal to return the exchange rate of the dollar against the Iraqi dinar, as it was previously, prompted a new parliamentary movement, which will be effective in the coming days, for the purpose of which the exchange rate in the 2022 budget is different from the current budget.”
