Widespread use of a reliable currency would have the potential to improve Iraq’s regional trade and, with it greater market volume in Iraqi funds, moderate foreign exchange rates across the Middle East.

Also, a currency that fluctuates less could ease the high volatility linked to oil transactions — benefiting both producers and consumers alike.
