Dollarization and monetary sovereignty: the case of Argentina

David Altig and Owen F. Humpage

Economic Commentary, 1999, issue Sep

Abstract: In January, President Menim of Argentina proposed strengthening his country's commitment to monetary stability by replacing the peso with the U.S. dollar. Dollarization leaves Argentina without a lender of last resort, but the Federal Reserve's current operating procedure combines with existing Argentine arrangements to mitigate this drawback.
