Dollar pressures housing markets
The article discusses the impact of the rising exchange rate of the dollar on Iraq's construction sector and real estate market. It points out that the increase in the dollar's value will lead to a 20 to 25 percent rise in the costs of materials and services, due to the heavy reliance on imports, which could hinder housing projects, put pressure on the rental market, and possibly reduce demand while delaying projects. Additionally, there is growing debate over how the decision affects purchasing power, with members of parliament calling for a review of policies before voting on the budget. There are also calls to increase support for the construction materials industry and to develop local financing. Experts warn, however, that the current government measures are insufficient to ensure sustainable economic stability.
