“...Great Britain and ihe East March 7th, 1942 8 IRAQ CURRENCY INCREASE Book Review There has been a considerable rise in the value of currency in circulation in Iraq as a result of the war. The report of the Iraq Currency Board shows that the currency in circulation at March 31 last was I.D.6,623,290.864, an increase in a year of I.D.439,997.420. There were increases in the June, December and March quarters, but a sharp decline in the September quarter, which appears to have been due to an exceptionally large decrease in the export trade in that period. Rising prices and the general tendency to hold larger cash reserves against possible repercussions of the war were responsible for the increase in cir- culation. Note Circulation The increase in currency was princi- pally in notes, one, five, ten and 100 dinar notes all showing rises, but there was a decrease in the utilisation of | and | dinar notes (10s. and 5s. respectively). The decrease in the latter categories since March 31, 1937, has...”
