In Baghdad, the dollar opened at 144,500 dinars per 100 dollars, down 500 dinars from Friday’s close of 145,000 dinars at the Al-Kifah and Al-Harithiya exchanges. Local exchange shops were selling the dollar at 145,000 dinars and buying at 144,000 dinars.
Meanwhile, in Erbil, the dollar saw a small uptick, with selling prices at 143,400 dinars per 100 dollars and buying prices at 143,250 dinars. That’s a slight increase from the last session, when the selling price was 143,350 dinars and the buying price remained the same at 143,250 dinars.
