"Two conditions to achieve it" .. Al-Sudani's advisor rules out removing 3 zeros from the currency

8/29/2024

The Iraqi Prime Minister's advisor for economic affairs, Mazhar Mohammed Salih, ruled out the government removing three zeros from the Iraqi currency at present, noting that achieving this requires two basic conditions.

Mazhar Mohammed Saleh told Rudaw Media Network: "I rule out that the government will remove zeros now," indicating that "removing three zeros from the currency has nothing to do with the value of the currency, but rather improving cash payment systems."

The Iraqi Prime Minister's advisor for economic affairs explained that "the three zeros added price and monetary inflation to the currency, starting with the Iran-Iraq war and passing through the time of the economic blockade (the nineties of the last century), and the conflicts generated inflation in the value of the currency."

He pointed out that "when prices rise, we need larger denominations of money to maintain the equivalence between price and money. For example, due to price inflation, 25 Iraqi dinars have become 25,000 dinars."

Mazhar Mohammed Saleh pointed out the importance of "reducing the calculations that have reached trillions in recent years, and this has become a tiring matter," adding that "the process of raising three zeros does not only mean the value of the currency, but also the calculations and statistics, and in order for the method of managing it to be easy."

The Iraqi Prime Minister's advisor for economic affairs also said, "The process of issuing large denominations reduces the currency in terms of quantities, and is a process of reforming the cash payments system, especially since this modern and advanced time requires smaller numbers." 

Mazhar Muhammad Salih believed that removing three zeros from the currency, globally, requires two conditions: “political stability and economic stability. When these two factors are available, countries resort to removing zeros from their currency,” adding that “the value is fixed and not affected. Rather, it is a relative change.”

He stated that the project to remove three zeros “we worked on between 2011 and 2012, but there was a delay in the matter, because it requires a change in the accounts of the Republic of Iraq and statistics, and requires cooperation between monetary policy and all government policies.”

It is noteworthy that a number of economists and experts recently called for deleting three zeros from the Iraqi currency, considering that this would reduce monetary inflation in Iraq and strengthen the dinar currency.   LINK
