Article quote: "Deleting the zeros...does not conflict with its value but needs educational campaigns to proceed it and a traditional period for trading the currency with zeros and the new currency to know the two currencies are equal in value." If they are going to be equal in value...a dinar is a dinar is a dinar. A dollar is a dollar. When it comes to an international stage a dinar is not a dollar, nor is a dollar a British pound or a Japanese yen. There's a difference in value. Are they one of each? Of course they are...But are they valued the same?Absolutely not...
They're talking about deleting the zeros again...We're not talking 1, 2 or three articles...
Article quote: "The issue of deleting the zeros and splinting the dinar has become a topic that causes a lot of reflection and controversy in economic circles..."
If you go from 1310 to something back to a 'previous era'...is a big move ...Article quote: "When this is done correctly we can expect...a strong dinar that is considered a store of value and perhaps even stronger than the dinar that was before 1980."
Iraq is going to explode with growth. We all know that...You're going to provide thousands and thousands of jobs and build 10 industrial cities, millions of homes...it creates a lot of growth. It creates a lot of jobs...
