“Zeros will be cut off Iraqi dinar and the currency will be denominated in January 2013,” Finance Committee member Haitham Al Jabouri told Alsumarianews noting that printing the new currency bills will start in September 2012.
The redenomination of old Currency requires a whole year and the old currency will be fully withdrawn from Iraqi market in the first half of 2014,” Jabouri said stressing that cutting the three zeros off the currency and its redenomination intend to stabilize Iraqi Dinar and decrease demand on the hard currency.
“Central Bank of Iraq dissipated all fears from money laundering during the redenomination process,” Jabouri stated explaining that it has a special apparatus to fight money laundering.
Reform of Iraqi currency management system is a major duty of Central Bank of Iraq and cutting zeros off is one of its strategic tasks,” Jabouri uttered assuring that the Parliament Finance Committee support Central Bank’s strategy.
Iraqi Cabinet Secretariat issued a resolution, on April 2012, to halt all procedures relating to cutting zeros off the dinar until further notice.
Iraq is not ready yet for this step, some economic experts believe pointing out that such action requires security and political stability in addition to economic stability.
Central Bank of Iraq announced, on January 2012, it is determined to release 3 Iraqi dinar bills of high value i.e. 200, 100 and 50 dinars after the cutting off of zeros from the currency. Dinar redenomination requires 2 years, Central Bank of Iraq informed.
iraqi dinar exchange rate forecast 2013
There is a high chance that the increase in the exchange rate will coincide with the reduction of military force of the USA present in Iraq. Chances are also high that an appreciation might take place just before the Iraqi elections. Many international organizations such as IMF and WTO are working with Iraqi government to bring forth Iraq’s financial system to the rest of the world. It is believed that Iraqi currency will soon be available for trade openly in the international market, which will only lead to greater economic stability to the region.
As for how high the evaluation of the Iraq currency would be, some conjecture can be made in this regard. A sudden high growth is quite possible given similar circumstances in the past. This valuation could be anything between the values of 0.01 US Dollars to 1.49 US Dollars. Once this first evaluation is complete chances are there will be more steady progressive growth in the future.
This steady growth will prevent an international financial rush. With a steady increment, it will form a limit on the exchange rates in the Iraqi Dinar as many would keep their Dinars expecting further growth. This constant progress in the appreciation of the Dinar will allow for the formation of a free fling market as some investors will sell their Dinars as others hold on to it while some will purchase expecting bigger returns.
