Question: “How is Iraq going to do business in the international market with such a low currency rate?”  This is why Iraq will need to increase the value of its currency.  Currency values… act as a silent force influencing a country’s global competitiveness.  When a country’s currency value is low it can impact it’s ability to compete…Iraq’s top trading partners are China, India, South Korea and on the sidelines Iran.  However things are about to change and fast.  The development road project places Iraq right in the middle of the global financial markets.  [We] have little doubt the Iraqi dinar will increase in value but we don’t know when or how much.
