Malaysia Plans to Lead Usage of Gold Dinar for Trade Settlement
Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia plans to lead a push among Islamic
nations to use the gold dinar to pay for external trade, so
as to reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar, the economic adviser
to Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said.
Malaysia has proposed using the gold dinar -- which will not
exist in physical form initially and will be defined in terms of
an equivalent value in gold -- and that the difference in trade
value between two Islamic countries be netted off by the transfer
of gold.
``We are ready and would like to anchor this, and have
already spoken to a few Islamic countries,'' Nor Mohamed Yakcop
told reporters. ``We expect to start this by the middle of next
year.'' He declined to identify the names of the countries
Malaysia has had discussions with.
Malaysia's aim to lead the implementation of an alternative
payment system originated from the Asian crisis that led it to
impose capital controls and peg the ringgit at 3.80 to the dollar
in Sept. 1998, to curb currency volatility. Mahathir blamed the
crisis, which cost the country about $300 billion, on hedge funds
and rogue currency traders.
