Furthermore, It is worth mentioning that according to recent reports, the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has raised the special allocation for Dollar-paying pilgrims in the Government Hajj Scheme 2023 to 50 percent due to the severe shortage of US dollars and the economic downturn.
This quota is designated for pilgrims who will be making payments in US dollars. The shortage of US dollars has led to banks declining to issue fresh letters of credit (LCs) to importers, exacerbating the challenges faced by an economy already grappling with soaring inflation.
