Shafaq reports Iraq's parliamentary currency debate and Trade Bank dollar-supply announcement

Shafaq reports that Iraq's Parliament suspended its agenda for a debate on the exchange-rate decision, citing the parliamentary media office. Trade Bank of Iraq says it has begun supplying dollars through official channels; the central bank says reserves can cover demand. These are institutional accounts, not independently verified availability. Announced official rates remain 1,500 dinars for ministry purchases, 1,510 for banks and 1,520 for consumers. Contractors' request for delay remains in the source history; no repeal or debate outcome is established.

Çavkanî çi diyar dikin

The parliamentary media office is the claimant for the agenda change, Trade Bank for starting foreign-currency supply, and the central bank for adequate reserves and unrestricted availability. Shafaq relays each institutional account; no independent parliamentary record, transaction data or original bank statements were inspected. AP's previously inspected, independently produced report supports agreement on the earlier announced ministry and consumer rates only. Contractor and lawmaker objections remain documented in earlier sources. No material rate disagreement was found; the debate's outcome, actual access to dollars, amounts supplied and economic effects remain unresolved. The original UTC publication-minute event time and rounded country marker are retained. No reversal, guaranteed liquidity, private-person identity or tactical location is asserted.
