Iraq devalues dinar to 1,520 per US dollar
Iraq's cabinet approved a new exchange-rate structure for the dinar, setting a rate of 1,520 dinars per US dollar, roughly 14.5% below the previous official rate, according to a Council of Ministers decision and a Finance Ministry statement.
Economists said the devaluation was a response to the disruption of oil sales, the country's biggest source of revenue, caused by the US-Israeli war on Iran.
Adopted on Tuesday and effective on Wednesday, the decision set the Finance Ministry's purchase rate at 1,500 dinars per dollar and the rate for sales by banks and non-bank financial institutions to end beneficiaries at 1,510 dinars per dollar.
'The dinar devaluation is essentially a fiscal response to the shock to Iraq's oil revenues from the Iran war and disrupted exports,' Mohammed al-Saffar, an Iraqi analyst said. 'It gives the government more dinars for each dollar of oil revenue, but raises import costs and reduces households’ purchasing power.'
Four members of parliament's finance committee told Reuters on Tuesday the government was considering adjusting the rate.
The draft budget assumes an oil price of $58 a barrel, projects spending of 217tn dinars, equivalent to about $166bn, and forecasts a deficit of more than 40tn dinars, the lawmakers said.It also envisages crude oil exports of around 4mn barrels per day, including shipments from the Kurdistan region. Oil sales account for the bulk of Iraq's state revenue.
Iraq has sought alternative transport routes after disruption to Gulf crude exports during the Iran war.
The disruption has helped to push international oil prices above $100 a barrel and reduced Iraqi exports to around 2.34mn barrels per day in August, from more than 3.6mn bpd before the war.
