Saleh, speaking in a seminar on iraqi dinar currency organized by the High Institute of Accounting in Baghdad, assured skeptic Iraqis that the removal of zeros from the iraqi currency “shall not affect your earnings, wealth, financial transactions, financial obligations and duties.”
He said, on the contrary, the Iraqi economy, the dinar and Iraqi citizens were to benefit from the move.
The Central Bank, awash with hard cash reserves estimated at more than $60 billion, is working hard to boost the iraqi dinar’s value against major convertible currencies around the world and should be trading in all markets.
A firmer and strong iraqi currency along with the removal of zeros has been among the central bank of iraq top priorities.
