Government measures to mitigate dollar shortage show results

Government measures to ease the dollar shortage are showing results, with USD 1.9 billion released at the official rate — an 80 per cent increase over the previous Administration — and foreign exchange reforms improving access through formal banking channels. MP Ibrahim Falah made the remarks during Parliament's debate on the no-confidence motion against Minister Mohamed Saeed, rejecting the opposition's six grounds for removal as unfounded.
