Shafaq News/ The Future Iraq Foundation for Economic Studies and Consultations, on Friday,
attributed the problem of increasing demand for the dollar in the markets to the large consumption of imported goods, as its volume during the current year, which is about to end, reached 55 billion US dollars.
The head of the Foundation, Manar Al-Obaidi, said in a report published today,
“The basis of the problem of demand for the dollar is the consumption of imported goods
and the rise in their bill annually until our imports for the year 2023 reached as follows: UAE $19 billion, China $13 billion, Turkey $10 billion, Iran $9 billion.” India: $4 billion. He added,
"What we need is a clear strategy that works,
firstly, to limit the annual growth of imports, and
then work to reduce it by adopting an agricultural, industrial, and extractive policy that reduces our need for raw materials," stressing
"the necessity of building a strategy for industrial transformation and supporting manufacturing industries."". Al-Obaidi continued to say,
"Any other solution will make us always follow a policy of reaction to disasters that occur as a result of the absence of a clear strategy and anticipation of the future."
