  Kuwait, is a country that successfully revalued its currency in the early 90s.  Following the Gulf War Kuwait’s economy was in ruins, yet within a short span the Kuwaiti dinar was reinstated as one of the most valuable currencies in the world…Unlike Iraq, Kuwait had a relatively stable political environment and a resilient economy backed by vast oil reserves.  The international community had faith in Kuwait’s ability to rebuild and stabilize which facilitated the revaluation process…A stable political environment, a strong economy, a positive balance of trade and the trust of the international markets are all critical ingredients for successful revaluation.  It’s not a magic wand…
