The FGS isn’t ever making a currency, and a PL currency would dominate Somalia anyways even if they did. Trade all the way to Hiraan originates from Bosaso even as far as Beledweyne they drive around with PL plates as they need them to get to Bosaso to use our port.
What I like about Omar Mahmoud are they are 'forward thinking' and want the best for the state. I don't see this in other clans in PL, including my own unfortunately. Screw em they just wanna keep us lock down to Somalia and living like dogs and being dependent.
I noticed the dollar economy in Somalia holds back 'trade growth'. There isn't enough dollar supply in those 'informal banks' and yes they're 'informal' they are not 'registered' with the PL govt and therefore their currency supply is shipped from outside the country, they prefer being hostage to a 'gaal' currency then their own currency. But the reason this doesn't work is simple. U know how long it takes to sell one property in PL? it can take months before they can organize the 'dollars'.
Even my adeer says he has to wait and survive on 'credit' in PL untill his livestock payments are given to him because the economy simply doesn't have 'large quantities' of dollar sitting around. By printing our own currency, we can ensure the quantity of currency is available for quick transactions of properties, land, and business purchases.
Our economy is only suited to 'small trade' like 'suuqa' yar buying food stuff and minor items, that's all our dollar economy can supply. We need a new monetary policy that is 'science based' to get around this only. It's going to be hard beginning factories, construction, road investments, hospitals, etc if the actual money supply is 'short'.
Wallahi those 'hawalas' are dead broke in terms of their dollar storage, their lucky to transact 1 billion dollar kuligooda in a year due to diaspora remittance. Can we grow from such small pool of 'capital' when I predict PL economy needs at least 2 billion worth currency to support it's internal trade like people selling homes, construction activities, market consumer activities, rural activities, inter-state trade activities at the port.
Plus if we going to add new industries, the 'currency' has to be in large supply locally because a major factory employing 100 people can be in the multi million dollar range, so where is the multi million dollar currency sitting in PL? It's nowhere wallahi, there isn't a single storage place with that sort of money. Even our damn international reserves is 30 million USD only and that's donor funds also.
PL simply needs a damn economist, banking system, and also registered private banks to act like the 'center' of trade. We can begin registering their 'hawala' as formal banks and inform them they can only use the 'currency' supplied from PL, no more 'suuq' madow, we want a controlled economy so our economist can 'tweak' and apply supply control mechanism each year when the government secures new projects such as infrastructure, business, etc. We can formalize our banks to begin lending economy and adopt 'interest' based system so this attracts shareholders to get shares of these banks and provide 'capital' for them. I have great plans for puntland, forget my insults but when I am talking serious, I am talking damn serious.
