Recent economic analyses and data have revealed a significant increase in the country's monetary mass over the past four years, with a growth rate exceeding 38 percent, driving the total from 81.5 trillion dinars to 113 trillion dinars. The data
illustrated an overall rise in issued banknotes, substantially increasing the per capita share of cash. The analyses noted a disproportionate growth among currency denominations; the 50,000-dinar note commanded the largest share of issuance, while medium denominations saw a notable decline,
and small denominations recorded only marginal growth disproportionate to the total monetary mass. The dominance of large denominations serves as a negative economic indicator, reflecting a trend of cash hoarding outside the banking system and a slowdown in actual commercial
activity. This situation necessitates an intervention to reassess monetary policy and encourage the integration of cash into the formal economic cycle.
