Al-Taan pointed out that “this rise affects the market’s activity and its movement, because the citizen will avoid buying because of this rise,” stressing that “the best solution to reduce dollar prices is the central bank’s tendency to sell dollars directly to citizens through widespread bank branches and at specific prices to reduce the gap.” between what the bank sells and what is currently in the market.
