On Saturday, a member of the Economy and Investment Committee, Nada Shakergodt, accused some political forces of trying to protect Finance Minister Ali Allawi and Central Bank Governor Mustafa Ghaleb after their failure in the decision to raise the price of the dollar, indicating that the rise in commodities has threatened the country's security.
Jawdat said in a statement to "Information" that "the rise in dollar prices in the Iraqi markets has broken the back of the citizen, and the government must control the markets and prevent the rise in commodity prices."
She added, "The government and the political blocs that approved raising the price of the dollar at the end of last year, bear the responsibility for stabilizing the markets. The exacerbation of prices creates many problems for citizens and threatens the country's security."
Jawdat explained that “the House of Representatives had previously requested to host the Central Bank Governorate against the background of raising the price of selling the dollar to banks to 1460 dinars, but some blocs did not support the step,” noting that
“the efforts to interrogate the Minister of Finance in the House of Representatives during the previous period did not succeed for the same reason.” Done/ 25 D
