He pointed out that “the exchange rate of the dollar fell yesterday to 147 thousand dinars, then it rose again to reach more than 152 thousand dinars, and this decrease and rise caused chaos in the buying and selling movement in exchange offices and private banks, and their inability to deal in light of the instability of prices.” .
