New currency begins circulation

    ISLAMABAD

    Tajikistan’s new national currency, the somoni, went into circulation on Monday, the Russian news agency Interfax reported. The somoni, which is comprised of 100 dirams, will be used in conjunction with the Tajik ruble for the next five months and exchanged at a rate of 1 somon to 1,000 Tajik rubles. The new currency had been introduced to strengthen the country’s banking system.
