Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, and Bahrain are all pushing forward with the plan to use a common currency – the Gulf Dinar. While the GCC has not announced the forecasted value of the currency, we know that it will run in tandem with the current currencies for a few years to get people used to it. Current bills and coins will then be slowly removed from circulation over the next 4-5 years.
The GCC also has not set a value on it, but economics professor Wadei Ahmed Kably tells Dinar Speculation sources that he expects it to be set at SR10 (about US$2.66).
Quick info on the countries involved, as related to oil and natural gas.
Qatar is the largest supplier of liquified natural gas and the third largest supply of natural gas reserves in the world.
Saudi Arabia is the largets oil producer in OPEC.
Kuwait contains about 8% of the world’s oil reserves – about 104 billion barrels of proven oil.
Bahrain has little oil, but has become a leader in financial roles such as banking, heavy industries, tourism, and retail.
