Iraq to ban cash withdrawals and transactions in dollar before 2024
Starting from January 1, 2024, Iraq plans to prohibit cash withdrawals and transactions in U.S. dollars. This decision is part of an effort to prevent the misuse of its hard currency reserves for financial crimes and to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran. The move intends to combat the illegal use of approximately 50% of the $10 billion that Iraq imports in cash from the New York Federal Reserve annually.
