Iraqi Government Spokesperson Haydar al-Abboudi announced that an agreement had been reached to continue shipments of cash dollars to Iraq during Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi’s visit to the United States.
Abboudi said the new dollar shipment would arrive in Iraq in the coming days.
The agreement followed progress by Baghdad in strengthening oversight mechanisms for dollar distribution and regulating the use of dollars.
The United States periodically delays dollar shipments because of some positions Iraq has taken toward Iran.
