WHAT HAPPENED

On 7 October, iNEWS (KSS — affiliated/aligned media) attributed to Parliamentary Border Ports Committee member Silwan Aqrawi a condition that the budget would not be approved unless the dollar rate returned to 132,000. Hoquq MP Miqdad al-Khafaji (KH — parliamentary bloc) said he would collect signatures to dismiss the Central Bank governor if the governor’s explanations and solutions were unsatisfactory and he did not accept their solutions; matching wording appeared through Sabereen News and Unit 10,000 (both KH — affiliated/aligned media), followed by Shabab al-Islam (Ashab al-Kahf — owned/non-official media). Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media), meanwhile, attributed support for raising the rate to Parliamentary Finance Committee deputy chair Ikhlas al-Dulaimi.

WHY IT MATTERS

The named MPs attach different institutional consequences to the currency dispute: withholding budget approval versus seeking the governor’s dismissal, alongside support for retaining the increase.
