Iraq confronts economic crises with the "digital dinar." The parallel market is threatened with "extinction."link to My FX Buddies Blog

The digital dinar is a digital currency issued by the central bank, officially part of a country's monetary system. It is similar in value to the traditional dinar, but is traded electronically via digital wallets or approved financial applications. It facilitates instant money transfers within the country or across borders, reduces the logistical burden of issuing paper or metal currency, and enables broader segments of society to access digital financial services. This project comes in light of the significant economic challenges facing Iraq, such as its heavy reliance on paper money and the phenomenon of hoarding. The digital dinar aims to address these challenges by providing a safe and effective digital alternative to paper money.
