Dollarization Strategies

Dollarization strategies involve a country choosing to adopt or heavily rely on the US dollar instead of its own currency. This can help control inflation, stabilize the economy, and attract foreign investment by providing a more trusted and stable currency. Countries might do this fully, using the dollar as their primary currency, or partially, by keeping their own currency but referencing the dollar for stability. These strategies can reduce exchange rate risks but also limit the country's control over its monetary policy. Overall, dollarization aims to create a more predictable and stable economic environment.
