On 9 October, Hoquq parliamentary bloc deputy head Saud al-Saadi (KH — parliamentary bloc), speaking through Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official owned media), said the bloc had not participated in the government’s decision to raise the dollar exchange rate. He said Hoquq had submitted an initiative to liberate financial and economic decision-making and would announce its details on Saturday, 10 October. Sabereen News and Unit 10,000 (both KH — affiliated/aligned media), followed by Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official owned media), separately relayed the parliamentary Integrity Committee’s allegation that gold trade with the UAE had become a channel for smuggling dollars out of Iraq.

The distinction is between a bloc announcing its own economic action and outlets carrying another institution’s accusation; the latter does not establish Badr’s endorsement of Hoquq’s proposal.
