Converting from Brunei Dollar (BND) to Iraqi Dinar (IQD)

What is Brunei Dollar (BND)

The Brunei Dollar (BND) is the official currency of Brunei, a small but wealthy nation located on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia. It was introduced in 1986, replacing the Brunei dollar used since 1984, and is subdivided into 100 cents. The currency is issued by the Monetary Authority of Brunei Darussalam.

The Brunei Dollar is pegged to the Singapore Dollar (SGD) at parity, which means that one Brunei Dollar is always equal to one Singapore Dollar. This stable exchange rate helps maintain confidence in the currency and makes it easier for international trade. In addition to being used in Brunei, the Brunei Dollar is also accepted in some neighboring countries, particularly where tourists might frequent.

Brunei has a rich reserve of natural resources, especially oil and gas, contributing to its high GDP per capita. The economic strength reflects positively on the Brunei Dollar, making it a relatively strong currency in the region. Investors and travelers often consider it when engaging in financial transactions in Southeast Asia.

What is Iraqi Dinar (IQD)

The Iraqi Dinar (IQD) is the official currency of Iraq, introduced in 2003 following the fall of the regime of Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi Dinar is subdivided into 1,000 fils, although the fils is no longer used in everyday transactions. The Central Bank of Iraq is responsible for issuing and managing the currency.

Since the early 2000s, the Iraqi Dinar has experienced significant fluctuations in its value due to various economic and political factors, including war and sanctions. In recent years, efforts have been made to stabilize the economy and strengthen the currency, though challenges remain.

As of late 2023, the exchange rate for the Iraqi Dinar can be quite variable, affected by supply and demand, inflation rates, and changes in international oil prices. Iraq’s economy is heavily dependent on oil exports, which means its currency value can fluctuate with the global oil market.

Converting BND to IQD

To convert Brunei Dollars (BND) to Iraqi Dinars (IQD), you need to check the current exchange rate, as it constantly fluctuates based on market conditions. For example, if the exchange rate is

1 BND = 1,200 IQD

then, to convert 100 BND to IQD, you would calculate:

100 BND × 1,200 IQD = 120,000 IQD
