Iraqi Cabinet rules out replacing or omitting zeros from Iraqi dinar

Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Secretariat General of the Council of Ministers ruled out replacing the Iraqi dinar or crossing out the zeros from it in this phase.

A statement by the SG quoted its Secretary General, Ali al-Allaq, as saying “The project of replacing the Iraqi dinar and omitting the three zeros from it was discussed in past period at the Council of Ministers where the Council stressed that this topic is not within the priorities of the Council since there is no problem in this respect.”

“The Iraqi Government thinks that changing the dinar needs suitable and stable circumstances,” he added confirming “This proposal will be given priority if the stable conditions are there.”

“The price of the Iraqi Dinar is expected to rise against the US Dollar encouraged by the increase of the dinar reserve accumulated at the Central Bank of Iraq in addition to the revival of the economic growth of Iraq,” Allaq concluded.
