Government Advisor: “Petro Dinar” Requires Good Stock of Foreign Currencies and Gold link to My FX Buddies Blog The Prime Minister's advisor for financial affairs, Mazhar Muhammad Salih, explained today, Sunday, that "the adoption of the dinar in pricing oil, or what is called (petro dinar), requires, first of all, the availability of foreign reserve currencies or gold, as Russia did when it purchased Russian oil with gold-backed rubles, which caused problems that we will discuss later." He added in press statements that "these foreign reserves must be available (as a necessary condition) and operate according to a high standard of efficiency that guarantees the stability of the exchange rate linked to oil (the petro dinar) in order to hedge against oil price fluctuations to ensure the stability of the exchange rate (the petro dinar) itself."
