On 6 October, iNEWS (KSS — affiliated/aligned media) attributed to MPs the assertion that the budget exchange rate would remain at 150,000 dinars. Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) subsequently reported 162,000 dinars per $100, with its broadcast graphic distinguishing a 161,000-dinar buying rate from a 162,000-dinar selling rate.

“Exchange rates rise to 162,000 dinars per 100 dollars. Buying price: 161,000 dinars = $100. Selling price: 162,000 dinars = $100.”
أسعار الصرف ترتفع الى 162 الف دينار لكل 100 دولار سعر الشراء: دينار 161000 = $100 سعر البيع: دينار 162000 = $100
The two reports distinguish the rate attributed to budget planning from the higher rate displayed for currency transactions, rather than demonstrating disagreement between KSS and AAH over exchange-rate policy.
