FLASHBACK –\u00a0 Crush Expected When Kuwaiti Banks Reopen Today<\/span><\/h1>\n

March 24, 1991|From Reuters<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>KUWAIT CITY, Kuwait \u2014<\/strong> Thousands of Kuwaitis are expected to jam the country’s banks today when they open for the first time since the end of the Iraqi occupation.<\/p>\n

Customers will be allowed to withdraw funds and to swap pre-invasion money for a new currency issued to make more than $1 billion in pre-invasion dinars stolen by the Iraqis worthless.<\/p>\n

“We expect a rush of people,” said Issam Asousi, an executive with the Bank of Kuwait. He said it could be a chaotic first week because customers have a lot of questions about their accounts.<\/p>\n

Kuwaiti banks continued operating during the seven-month Iraqi occupation under managers brought in from Iraq, but they have been closed since the U.S.-led alliance ousted the Iraqi army from Kuwait a month ago.<\/p>\n

When the banks reopen today, customers will be able to withdraw up to 4,000 Kuwaiti dinars, equivalent to about $14,000 at pre-invasion exchange rates from their accounts, and to exchange a like amount for foreign currency.<\/p>\n

Balances of customers’ accounts will go back to what they were on Aug. 1, a day before the invasion.<\/p>\n

Clients will not be able to exchange Iraqi currency issued during the occupation, when Baghdad pegged the rates of the strong Kuwaiti dinar to the far less valuable Iraqi dinar.<\/p>\n

The new Kuwaiti money will be exchanged for old at a one-to-one rate.<\/p>\n
