The government acknowledges the halt in dollar flow from America to Iraq: temporary and related to a very limited aspect.

 The Prime Minister's Financial Advisor, Mudher Mohammad Saleh, confirmed today, Wednesday, April 22, 2026, that reports regarding the halt of dollar inflows from the US concern a very limited portion designated for travelers, not exceeding 5% of total demand. Saleh explained that the disruption in shipping hard currency results from flight restrictions and the closure of some airports in the region due to current circumstances. He emphasized that foreign trade financing (95% of demand) is proceeding normally through official banking channels, with modern electronic alternatives available to meet citizens' needs abroad.
