Iraq has officially devalued its currency from 1,300 dinars to 1,500 dinars to the US dollar. The Central Bank announced this decision following a Cabinet meeting, which aimed to address financial, economic, and monetary needs. There has been a noticeable gap between the official and market rates, which widened due to regional conflicts.
