OPINION PIECE!!!

FROM.....10/18/2018

Assistant Professor Dr. Safwan Qusay Abdul Halim, said that the current economic situation does not allow the implementation of the project to delete zeros from the currency, attributed to the unstable conditions in the Middle East and the possibility of the existence of illegal local currencies looking for a way to enter the domestic banking system.

Abdul-Halim said in a statement to the Iraqi National News Agency "Nina" The Iraqi Central Bank is trying to restore confidence in the Iraqi currency and enter into the international currency market and facilitate the task of calculations by deleting zeros, and pointed out that the project can cause confusion in monetary policy and the value of the Iraqi dinar.

Therefore, the procedure to delete zeros is a correct measure, but the current government to choose the appropriate time to replace the currency and transparent and subject to the highest degree of control was the governor of the Central Bank

Ali Alaq announced earlier in a press statement that currencies of small categories may prompt citizens to bid farewell to banks for difficulty to store As the central bank has a future plan to restructure the Iraqi currency, including the deletion of zeros.

Thank you Delta! IMO, theoreticaly what you may be forecasting is the imminent announcement of Article 2 informing the citizens that effective in the new calendar year the CBI will be reinstating their currency internationally and informing them of their new purchasing power. If this theory proves out, then they should be announcing something very soon, in writing, to the citizens of Iraq as the new year approaches per your article above. This also may coincide with our leaders red suit announcement in last nights cc!!. Again, IMO. Thank you!!
