Exchange offices in Anbar province have refrained from buying and selling the dollar after sudden speculations led to a rise in the exchange rate.
A source in the governorate told Al-Maalouma Agency that “the fluctuation in the exchange rate of the dollar, which rose suddenly, led to exchange offices refraining from trading in the currency.”
He added, “The exchange offices are waiting for the market to stabilize to resume trading in the dollar.”
He explained that “a force from the National Security Service carried out a security operation targeting a number of exchange offices in search of exchange rate speculators.”
He explained, “The exchange rate jumped to 155 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars after it was 150 thousand dinars for every 100 dollars.”
