伊拉克政府发言人周六表示，巴格达已与美国达成协议，将在暂停数月后恢复向伊拉克运送美元现金。
Baghdad has reached an understanding with the US to resume dollar cash shipments to Iraq after a months-long suspension, an Iraqi government spokesman said on Saturday.
海德尔·阿卜杜迪（Haider al-Aboudi）向伊拉克官方通讯社表示，该协议是在总理阿里·法莱赫·扎伊迪（Ali Faleh al-Zaidi）访问美国期间达成的。他表示，这些运输将有助于满足伊拉克国内对外汇的需求。
Haider al-Aboudi told the official Iraqi News Agency that the agreement was reached during Prime Minister Ali Faleh al-Zaidi’s visit to the US. He said the shipments would help meet Iraq’s domestic demand for foreign currency. “A new shipment will arrive in the coming days,” said al-Aboudi, without disclosing the value or a delivery date.
阿卜杜迪说：“新的运输将在未来几天内到达”，但他未透露具体金额或交付日期。
“A new shipment will arrive in the coming days,” said al-Aboudi, without disclosing the value or a delivery date.
他指出，该协议是在伊拉克采取了一系列措施之后达成的，包括加强对美元分配的监管、遏制外汇滥用，并随着该国逐步向更数字化的经济转型而扩大电子支付的使用。
He said the agreement followed steps by Iraq to tighten oversight of dollar distribution, curb misuse of foreign currency and expand electronic payments as the country gradually shifts toward a more digital economy.
美国于四月暂停了向伊拉克运送美元现金，其中包括一批估计价值约5亿美元的货物，当时华盛顿正敦促巴格达遏制伊朗支持的武装组织的影响力。
The US suspended dollar cash shipments to Iraq in April, including a consignment estimated at around $500 million, as Washington pressed Baghdad to curb the influence of Iran-backed armed groups.
美元现金运输对伊拉克以现金为主的经济尤为重要。该国的外汇储备存放在纽约联邦储备银行的账户中。
Dollar shipments are particularly important to Iraq’s cash-heavy economy. The country’s foreign currency reserves are held in an account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
