The United States' decision to suspend cash dollar shipments to Iraq for nearly three months, before resuming them in early July, sparked a wave of questions and interpretations linking the move to restricting Baghdad's access to its oil revenues or threatening its ability to pay salaries and finance the economy.
According to the report, the suspension of cash dollar shipments did not deprive the Iraqi government of its oil revenues, nor did it affect its ability to finance salaries and public expenditures. Furthermore, it had no noticeable impact on the dollar exchange rate in the parallel market.
A US report exonerates "dollar shipments" from Iraq's crises: they have no connection to salaries.
