Just to clarify the above, The current exchange rate of the Saudi Riyal to the US Dollar =  $ .26651

Thus it takes 3.75 Saudi Riyal to make 1.00  US Dollar.

On a positive note $ .26651 coming out of the gate in exchange for  1 IQD would be a positive sign :bagofmoney:

Semper Fi :salute:

RV There yet ?:pirateship:

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year to all at DV :tiphat:

Remember the GCC stated they wanted a unified currency rate for all member States, and I believe Iraq is a member (yet)?

 

i believe iraq is the only arab country bordering the persian gulf  that is not a member of the GCC all current gcc members are monarchies and in years past there was talk of some sort of proposal to transform the GCC to " gulf union " and something thrown into the mix about currency but like many news articles that seem to just kinda fade away into news cyberspace, i still have hope this will all come together for iraq and investors one day .. cheers dv'ers

Back in 05 when I bought my dinar the Commander of the compound said when they revalue it will come out at 27 cents per dinar. But I am not reading into any of this.

Bloomberg: Saudi Arabia's vision of economic reform is confused

03:44 - 22/12/2018

The new expansionist budget for Saudi Arabia suggests the government lacks the determination and discipline to break the country's reliance on oil, reduce government aid and develop a viable private sector, the Bloomberg news agency reported 
The next year's budget - announced on Tuesday - is expected to spend about $ 300 billion, the largest in the kingdom's history, despite weak oil prices and falling production. 
In an editorial entitled "Saudi Arabia's distorted vision of economic reform," the agency noted that the budget recorded a deficit of 4.2% of GDP, and that the gap could widen as revenue projections depend on the price increase is unlikely. 
The government has announced that it will extend for another year its annual grant to citizens. This type of spending is precisely what the Saudi economic plan, known as 2030, intended to eliminate.
Bloomberg sees steps the government can take to reassure investors that their vision of a diversified and well-run economy has not been destroyed. 
A good start would be to abandon luxury plans to spend $ 500 billion to build a new city on the northwestern coast of the kingdom, she said. 
The government should speed up the privatization of 14 state-owned companies - announced in April - as this will help secure a definitive end to grants after 2019. 
Bloomberg concludes that leaving investors in doubt about the Kingdom's commitment to reform will deepen the problems that have already caused the Including the repercussions of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and said that what she called "desperate measures" is not a substitute for the economic reforms considered.
