Abstract
US foreign policy has moved in the direction of consolidating the dollar's position as a major currency in Islamic Middle East oil and foreign exchange reserves over the past few decades. The US dollar's Petroleum policy has created an order that sets the price of buying oil from Muslim sellers in dollars. They believe that if another currency than the dollar finds itself in oil trading, especially in the Islamic countries of the Middle East, many countries will sell their stored dollars and this will weaken the dollar's position relative to other credible currencies. Kurdish. This article examines the trends in the oil political economy of the Middle East Muslim countries as oil sellers in the Petro-Dollar Exchange Market based on the SWOT model.
