Mashallah I like your proposal!

But too bad we will probably print 1 kun and 5 kun oo shilling.

Our economic is bad

 

[Steamdevolopment]

Good move but useless as most people have money in their phones. That where the real regulation should happen

 

[$$$$]

Only pre civil war heroes should be on the face of our notes (if any men are to be on it). We don't to do need anything inflammatory.

Nice post though.

 

[Assata]

Why are we printing 1000 and 5000 notes?


Inflation at its finest.

Inflation at its finest.

1 dollar = 15,000 shilling. It was 22,000 not long ago

1 dollar = 7500/8000 Somaliland shilling

No point of printing 500 or 100 if the dollar is worth 15,000 shillings

How is Somaliland's shilling worth more than our own?



If we heavily restricted inflation and avoided printing money like there's no tomorrow.
And asked the world bank to have a fixed exchange rate.
We could stop our money from being so cheap

Somaliland has better control of its montairy supply, in Somalia 98 % of all shillings are fake and therefore worthless

New money
The only currency note available in Somalia is the 1,000 shilling. Smaller denominations like the 500, 50 and 20 shillings stopped circulating either immediately after the war or over the years. The new banknotes are expected to be in small denominations, and the government will be expected to clarify the purchasing power of these new notes in comparison to the already circulating ones—98% of which are considered fake by the IMF

I just told my mom Somaliland's shilling is worth more than Somalia's shilling.

Wallahi she was so happy.

 

[Striker]

Somaliland money is becoming more cheaper.

Not long ago it was 6000 shilling. Now its nearly 8000 kun.

50 shilling became obsolete and soon 100 shilling might become useless.

Wait, why is she happy?


How can a Ogaden support seperatism AGAINST somalia?

Her mom is probably isaaq.

She doesn't believe in a unified Somalia.
She thinks all the qaabils should break up and form their own countries.


She's always supported Somaliland before Somalia.

My mom's not Isaaq. She's Ogaden.

She supports khatumo state?

 

[Assata]

She supports khatumo state?

She thinks they should be apart of Somaliland.
That they'll have more peace and stability as a part of Somaliland.

Doesn't that break her whole qabil theory? Both Khaatom and Awdal are from different qabil than Isaaq majority

Your mom needs a spanking from your dad
