AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoDinar Shock: Iraq has reset the official exchange rate to 1,500–1,520 dinars per dollar as war-related oil shipping disruptions squeeze state revenues. The parallel rate briefly topped 1,700, while markets and shops closed in protest. Lawmakers are demanding an emergency session and a reversal, warning that imports and household costs will rise. Analysts say reserves could fall sharply, with an IMF program a possible last resort if oil income keeps sliding. ISIS Threat: ISIS attacked a Hashd al-Shaabi base near Hawija, with no casualties reported. The assault came a day after an attack killed two federal police officers and wounded others, underscoring the security challenge following the coalition’s withdrawal from Iraq. Regional Tensions: Muqtada al-Sadr urged Washington to take a “moderate” stance and said Iraq must not become an arena for outside conflicts.
