A revaluation. Kaperoni A significant increase in the value of the dinar at or equal to its face value with 90 trillion dinar in circulation would, in essence, be six times the value of the entire countries wealth...This is why I have stated numerous times that if and when the dinar ever was to go up in value, it would have to go up gradually over time so that the dinar money supply could be reduced.

There's a rate for everybody. There is no 'getting together'. And they're sending their serial numbers on their dinars to these people.

This substantial difference in GDP per capita clearly indicates Kuwait is wealthier on a person basis than Iraq.

Pimpy I started thinking about something. Right now Iraq is mostly importing. This is a time when a country would want to increase their exchange rate. This gives them more purchasing power. But that's not what is happening over there in Iraq...I was wondering why don't they just increase the exchange rate? This would give them more purchasing power and would help them as far as dealing with the deficit because if your exchange rate if higher then you have more purchasing power...Increase in the value of the Iraqi dinar means the imports that they pay for would be cheaper because they would have purchasing power... Militia Man What's the exchange rate crisis? It's been at 1310 since the early part of 2023. They devalued to 1460 then they adjusted it by 10%. What's not good about that? What did it prove?

It staved off inflation...There's some positive aspects to some of these things...Revaluations happen. They need to be tested.

It's common practice for central banks of different countries around the world to hold large amounts of reserves of foreign exchange.

Breitling Iraq right now they simply don't know what to do. That doesn't mean they can't revalue their currency and add value to it tomorrow. The can do it. They can get away with it. They could maintain a rate. But I'm telling you right now what's going on between Israel and Hamas and their watching the response from Iran and Saudi Arabia, they don't know what to do.

Pimpy We know the beginning of 2024, we heard anyways, we'll see if it actually happens, Iraq is no longer going to use the US dollar in the country. That will lower the demand for US dollars but that still doesn't curve the demand for US dollars that are being smuggled into other countries.

Yada Review from the articles... The PM announced the banks are now able to exchange foreign in country last week. The digital connections have been activated to collect the tariffs and taxes from all border crossings Monday last week. Their stock mark showed a 3000 point drop in dinars this past Sunday. To me, the dollar to dinar value is adjusting to the actual reissued value of the dinar. 10 days or so, 12 countries did currency swaps with Iraq.

In other words Iraq did not follow in the footsteps of the Federal Reserve and as a result the IMF sees Iraq's inflation rate at or around 9% in 2024 rather than at 3.5% the the Iraqi minister of planning announced.

They are paying 7.5 percent to get you to put your money in the bank. This does a couple things…it shores up their economy, stabilizes the consumer (not the government but the people) …So in Iraq they are putting the citizen ahead of the government. It also does something else very important. It streamlines any rate changes. With the money in the banks…they are not as worried about the money changers on the street… This makes it easier to do a re-valuation.
