The Central Bank of Iraq (CBI) announced that its hard currency sales topped $60 billion during the first nine months of 2025, marking a noticeable increase compared to last year.
According to official data obtained by dinaropinions.com, the bank’s total dollar sales reached $60.781 billion between January and September.
Breaking it down:
- Foreign remittances made up the bulk of sales at $58.684 billion
- Cash sales accounted for $2.097 billion
The Central Bank noted that this figure represents an 11.61% rise compared to the same period in 2024, when total sales were $54.458 billion.
The continued increase in foreign currency sales reflects Iraq’s ongoing efforts to stabilize the exchange rate, meet import demands, and maintain liquidity in the local market.
In short, while the dinar’s performance has been under close watch, these numbers show that Iraq’s central bank remains actively managing dollar flows to keep financial activity steady throughout 2025.
