Kuwait is not the same damn thing that's happening in Iraq. Iraq's money is inflated. Kuwait never had to inflate their dinars. They never had large bank notes like Iraq does. They never had to change them in for lower denominations. None of That shit is true.
Outside of the fact that they increased the value for the Kuwait dinar, nothing else matches...All Kuwait had to do was re-denominate their currency without deleting zeros. They just changed the way Kuwait dinar looked. That was it. Iraq's case is a little bit different...they added 3 zeros. They're talking about deletion of the zeros...

Don't be discouraged. Everything is on track. Iraq is doing what they need to do to get out of trouble. Leaving the 3 zeros on puts a smile on my face. Only if the exchange rate would change, that would be a great combination...
I want the same thing you do. Trust me, I would love nothing better to wake up in the morning and find out that the zeros are still on the dinar but they've magically changed the exchange rate to $3.22. That would be awesome.

Q & A WITH THE PROFESSOR
Question: "What does Iraq need to do right now to reinstate their old rate of $3.22?"
Professor Boskin [of economics] graciously shared the following information which I am pleased to relay to you...It should be able to give you an idea of how far away this thing might be...The first thing he's talking about is implementing monetary reforms.
PIMPY: We've been hearing about that for years so we know they definitely are implementing monetary reforms.
PROFESSOR: ...The Central Bank of Iraq may consider removing zeros...
PIMPY: Obviously if they're going to remove the zeros off the currency, they're going to re-denominate and print new bank notes.
PROFESSOR: Establish a currency basket system...the value of the dinar would be determined against a weighted average of several currencies.Reduce their dependency on the dollar.
PIMPY: At the beginning of this year they were not supposed to use the US dollar anymore.
PROFESSOR: ...Focus on diversifying its economy beyond oil dependency ...
PIMPY: Right now...only 89% of [the budget] is dependent on oil sales. A lot better than where it was.
PROFESSOR: Improve trade balance...Enhancing exports...Reducing unnecessary imports ...thereby supporting a stronger dinar.
PIMPY: They have things to trade but not a whole lot of options.
PROFESSOR: Maintain internal stability...Monitor inflation rates...
PIMPY: Right now Iraq is somewhere around 5%...He's saying if they want to reinstate the $3.22 rate these things have to be taken care of. I do find it interesting we've been listening to them talk about deleting the zeros and he's put that in here...A lot of this stuff Iraq has already started...Kudos to Al-Sudani.
