Hi! Your current question format is something like this: "*I read A. A is a very general statement that is likely not true in all circumstances, also I am not precisely quoting but paraphrasing it, but I 1. do not tell you where I read it 2. do not provide any context, so you have to guess how the statement is to be understood.*" Could you please name the source precisely (author, title, edition, page number) or provide a lot of context?

I read that redenomination leads to strengthening of national currency but I didn't find more details.

How is it possible?

Thanks.
