Policy Proposal: Hybrid Currency Peg Model

1. Overview

This proposal outlines a hybrid currency peg that anchors our national currency to a composite index of gold, Bitcoin, and a Kuwait-style currency basket. The objective is to combine stability, diversification, and innovation in monetary policy.

2. Index Composition

The proposed weights are: 40% gold, 20% Bitcoin, 40% international currency basket.

AssetWeight
Gold (per gram)40%
Bitcoin (0.0005 BTC)20%
Currency Basket
(USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, CHF, CNY)
40%

3. Historical Use by Kuwait

Since 2003, the Central Bank of Kuwait has pegged the Kuwaiti Dinar to a diversified basket of major currencies. Although the precise weights are proprietary, this practice has provided long-term stability, low inflation, and resilience against oil revenue volatility. It demonstrates the effectiveness of basket-based pegs for monetary stability.

4. Implementation Roadmap

5. Governance & Oversight

A dedicated Monetary Policy Council would oversee index updates, reserve audits, and intervention rules. Quarterly reports to Parliament and an independent audit by the central bank are mandatory.

6. Benefits & Risks

BenefitsRisks & Mitigations
Diversification reduces single-asset shocks Bitcoin volatility → cap weight at 20%, build volatility buffer
Gold provides long-term stability Reserve cost → phased accumulation over 3 years
Currency basket aligns with trade flows Complex reserve management → automated FX operations
Signals innovation in monetary policy Regulatory pushback → stakeholder consultations
