Kaperoni – Dinar Guru Like most countries, Iraq would not care if their currency appreciates at the expense of a booming economy. That is how market forces work. A central bank uses its tools to manage monetary policy based effects in the marketplace. An example would be raising the value to counter inflation. Iraq currently has very low inflation less than 3%. If Iraq opens the doors to global investment, it may create the pressure the CBI is looking for to raise the value. We can only hope.
