He added, “These decisions and instructions will be the catalyst for importers of these goods to abandon the process of buying and transferring dollars through the parallel market for the dollar and direct them towards the platform for the foreign currency selling window in the Central Bank of Iraq at the official price.” The source confirmed, “This will have a positive and significant impact on reducing the price of the dollar in the parallel market, as trade in the above materials contributes the largest proportion of the demand for the dollar in that market.”
