Showing 16 September 2025 — 16 September 2026. 16 days of parallel-market readings, recorded here since collection began. The dashed official line is history published by the Central Bank, not something we observed.

Why are there two rates?

The official rate of 1,310 dinars is set by the Central Bank of Iraq, and is used for the currency auction, government and banking transactions, and official imports.

The parallel market rate is the price actually traded between exchange shops and individuals, set by supply and demand. It runs higher because demand for dollars outside official channels exceeds what the auction supplies, and the difference between the two is the exchange-rate gap.

The rate shown is a published closing rate for the Baghdad market and is a REFERENCE, not an execution price: it moves during the day, differs between governorates, and every exchange shop sets its own buy-sell spread.

About the source and updates

The market rate comes from alsumaria.tv — its daily closing-rate article, carrying buy and sell rates per 100 dollars. The official rate is NOT read from an external source: it is a fixed policy rate, last confirmed 31 August 2026.
