It also examined the relationship between the volume of currency window sales and both the official and parallel exchange rates, in addition to identifying the direction of causality between these variables over the study period.<br \/>\nKey findings of the study include:<br \/>\nThe exchange rate in the parallel market experienced a significant increase during the study period, rising by approximately 260% annually.<br \/>\nThis reflects a depreciation of the Iraqi dinar against the US dollar in the parallel market due to structural economic challenges.<br \/>\nAmong the most prominent challenges are: weak effectiveness of monetary policy, heavy reliance on oil revenues, and limited domestic production.<br \/>\nThe examination committee consisted of:<br \/>\nProf. Dr. Bashar Ahmed Abdulrazzaq \u2013 College of Administration and Economics \/ University of Mosul as a chair, Prof. Dr. Bakhtiar Saber Mohammed \u2013 College of Administration and Economics \/ Salahaddin University, Erbil as a member,<br \/>\nAssist.
