The revaluation of the Iraqi dinar is ready to be implemented by the country's Central Bank; however, the Parliamentary Economic and Investment Commission has decided to postpone the revaluation to 2019.

The plan is to eliminate zeros from the value of the Iraqi currency, allowing the dinar to gain value on the global market.

With the anticipation of the Iraqi dinar revaluation, millions of dinars have been bought all over the world by investors. Those investors hope that the revaluation of the dinar will increase the value of the currency, which would make all of their dinars worth significantly more than when they bought them. However, the revaluation continues to get postponed and is set for 2019 as the country faces more pressing political issues. LINK

Good deal.. WS told us back years ago that the process on the second set of books takes time. I believe there is data to support that from the imf. Didn’t WS suggest that time of the four year process to be 01/01/2018? I think so. So if that is the case which, I believe to be supportive being his track record is very good. The. One more year equates to ? Any time now! Imo - MM

Parliamentary finance seeks to stop external borrowing in the budget of 2019

13th January2019

The Finance Committee in the House of Representatives, on Sunday, sought to stop foreign borrowing in the budget of 2019, and avoid dumping the Iraqi economy in the long and short term external debt.

"We have a vision in the Finance Committee that continuing the external borrowing in 2019 is a big mistake that will be paid for by future generations. There is no justification for borrowing about $ 5 billion," said Hoshyar Abdullah, a member of the committee.

Iraq has a good cash reserve, with other mechanisms that can be used as an alternative to borrowing, such as voluntary savings and revitalization of government banks by raising interest rates for individuals and companies, seeking to increase domestic production and restricting imports of locally available products, Of the solutions followed Such conditions are experienced by countries with economies similar to the Iraqi economy."

Abdullah explained that "long-term and short-term foreign loans have high benefits, and what was borrowed during the previous years is a serious strategic error," stressing that "the suspension of foreign loans in 2019 is a national step requires the support and support of the House of Representatives."
