If the White Paper has been posted on this site, just ignore this but I wanted to know exactly what was in the White Paper and found it here. If you haven’t read it in totality, it is difficult to understand the meaning of this thread or it was for me anyway.

Ok what is their timeline for implementing currency reform and revaluing or reinstating the Dinar to the good ole glory days???

Axis 1: Achieving sustainable financial stability

Axis 2: Achieving macroeconomic reforms according to strategic principles, giving priority to productive economic sectors, and creation of sustainable employment opportunities

Axis 3: Improving the key infrastructure which contributes to the advancement of future sectors

Axis 4: Providing the key services, and rationalizing and directing social welfare, giving priority to the poor, and offering them protection during and after the reform process

Axis 5: Developing governance/ legal and administrative environment, to empower institutions and individuals to implement the reform.

 

Number one priority is Achieving sustainable financial stability.

Reforming  financial management systems is part of that.

If the timeline of the Withe papers aka reform process is 3 to 5 years, 

the timeline for implementing currency reforms will be less than that.

 

Is just a matter of time…….Our payday will come
