On Sunday night one outlet reported that Iraq's 2027 budget values $100 at 150,000 IQD. On Monday evening the same outlet carried a currency market spokesman saying the decision will not be implemented. The two stories ran 19 hours apart.
In between, the Coordination Framework called Finance Minister Faleh al-Sari into its leaders' meeting and said policy has to raise living standards. Parliament's Finance Committee decided to host him this week and ask about the value of the dollar. The World Bank told the same committee that Baghdad has a clear vision for its financial reforms.
The dollar closed Monday at 160,300 IQD on Baghdad's street against 131,000 at the bank. The headline moved the street. It did not move the bank, and the Central Bank of Iraq is the only institution that sets the rate.
The vote on the 9 empty cabinet seats and the budget that must carry the IQD's rate now fall within days of each other. Today's Read looks at the gap between the bank's price and the street's, who lives off it, and how Baghdad is closing it.
