Dollar reaches 173,000 dinars per $100 in Kurdistan markets

The US dollar traded at about 173,000 Iraqi dinars per $100 in markets across the Kurdistan Region on October 7, according to Kurdistan24.

The report placed the figure well above the official end-user rate of 152,000 dinars per $100. The continuing gap is closely watched because it can feed into the cost of imported goods and everyday services.
