Iraq "Capable of Defending Exchange Rate" - Central Bank

By John Lee.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Iraq (CBI), Ali Mohsen Al-Alaq, announced on Sunday that Iraq is currently witnessing the lowest inflation levels in its modern history.

Speaking at the Iraq Investment Forum, he said that the country enjoys "comfortable" foreign currency reserves capable of defending the exchange rate, while monetary policy has successfully created a stable environment for investment.

According to the state-run Iraqi News Agency (INA), Al-Alaq highlighted that financial and monetary stability has been achieved through daily central bank policies, prudent reserve management, and reforms in the banking sector.

He added that controlling inflation and ensuring stable prices provide a critical foundation for private sector activity and investor confidence.
