Traders in Baghdad’s Shorja market reportedly stopped sales after the exchange-rate decision, warning that businesses could close collectively if uncertainty persists. The reaction highlights the immediate pressure on wholesale pricing.
The development matters beyond the market because Shorja is a major supply hub for shops across Baghdad and other provinces. Any prolonged disruption could quickly affect the availability and price of everyday goods.
