A video recording monitored by Jarida, today, Thursday, showed a citizen threatening to burn a bank because he refused to hand over his deposits in US dollars, which raised fears of a repeat of the Lebanese experience in Iraq.

According to the circulating video, the citizen wanted to withdraw money from his balance, which he deposited in one of the banks and his account in US dollars, but the Jordan National Bank refused to hand over his money except in dinars, and exclusively at the official rate.

For his part, MP Hussein Arab said in a blog post on the “X” platform (formerly Twitter) followed by “Jarida”: “The acquisition of money transfer amounts via the dollar electronic platform by a non-local private bank, whose value is estimated at 70% of Iraq’s transfers, is abnormal.” Disastrous, we will have a clear position on manipulating the fate of the country’s economy. We will not remain silent.”
