Sudan could soon print Somalia’s new currency, talks between President Mohamed Farmaajo and his Sudanese counterpart Omar al-Bashir in Khartoum have hinted at but the details of the talks remain scanty.

Sudan president Omar al-Bashir said his country had the requisite infrastructure to roll out the printing of the new currency which Somalia aims to replace with the existing notes most of which are counterfeit.

“It an honour to respond to the request of Somalia to print its national currency. Sudanese Currency Printing Company owns the latest machinery and equipment for printing the currency, and it has the maximum requirements for insurance and safety and protection,” said al-Bashir.

It is not clear however if the talks focused on the financing which Somalia estimates at $60 million. Central Bank Governor Bashir Isse Ali said July the Bank was working with other affiliate agencies to develop the design and security features for the new notes but did not specify if the country had identified any donor to finance the printing. The notes, Ali said would be in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000 and 20,000 but added there was room for 50,000 note and less than 1,000.

Somalia, which does not qualify for lending from the international market owing to its debt relies on donor countries to print its currency which it expects to gradually replace with the old notes and the dollar notes which form the bulk of transaction through e-notes.

Farmaajo thanked the Sudanese government for supporting his country adding ‘”Sudan has stood with Somalia in all its challenges during the past year.”

The two leaders are meeting in Khartoum as part of Farmaajo’s two days visit.

Sudan already prints the old shillings. I guess they'll print the new bills too.
 
When a country that doesn't necessarily have your best interests creates currency for you, what can go wrong?
Old Somali currency was also made in Sudan, no sabotage then no sabotage now.

Since when were Sudanese people Cushitic :gucciwhat:
Aren't they Nilotic or has the rule book been updated since the last time I checked :birdman:
Sudanese-Arabs aka Nubians that adopted Arabic language are the original Cushites, but the modern Nubian language is classified as Nilosaharan.

P.S. welcome back (don't know how long you've been back) :icon e biggrin:
 
The currency should be printed in Europe by the IMF who also funds the country.

The plastic polymer notes would be ideal in 1000 and 5000, 20,000 shilling notes.

The Cushitic language family came originally from Northeast Sudan.

Most of the North Sudanese are autosomally predominantly Cushitic. Especially on the Northern and Eastern side of Sudan.

You want the most blood-sucking, economic destroying, king of putting nations in debt to print our money at least with Sudan, they are isolated from the international community.
 
50,000 shilling notes? What craziness! We should not go higher than 10,000 and that shouldn't be worth more than $5. Somalia needs smaller notes and scarcely printed higher notes.
