“It’s interesting when u compare Iraq with Jordan’s economy.
Pretty similar stats, I’d say Iraq is better with lower unemployment, higher average income. and over 4 times higher GDP.
However the Jordanian Dinar is 1.41 to 1 USD and the Iraqi Dinar is 1/6 th of a penny to 1 USD.”
This is only part of the problem.
Iraq must create the conditions, pass laws and encourage investment.
Only then will they be on par with neighboring countries so they can unleash (float) the dinar to create its own value.
