Shafaq News/ The Ministry of Finance denied on Wednesday statements attributed to Minister of Finance, Ali Abdul Amir Allawi, about submitting his resignation if the Iraqi dinar is further devaluated.

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) said in a press release that the reports circulating on local and social media -and echoed by some MPs- about the resignation of the Minister of finance are unfounded.

The Ministry called upon the media outlets to confirm the news from the official sources and avoid publishing fake news.
