On other hand, VECM refers to two causalities long-run relationships (i.e. both oil price and exchange rate cause each other). But the direction of the relationship from the Iraqi dinar exchange rate to the crude oil price is not accepted by the economic logic, because it is not possible the IQD affect the crude oil prices
