CONCLUDING REMARKS""; ""APPENDIX I""; ""APPENDIX II""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aThis paper tests several explanations for financial dollarization (FD), with an emphasis on Latin America. The results provide evidence that FD is a rational response to inflation uncertainty. The paper builds on previous research by finding that an exchange rate policy biased towards currency depreciation and currency mismatches tends to contribute to high FD and that FD is highly persistent. These results suggest that countries with significant FD should encourage the use of domestic currency by maintaining macroeconomic stability; allowing more exchange rate flexibility and less bias towards currency depreciation; and adapting prudential regulations to ensure that costs associated with FD are fully internalized in financial contracts. At the same time, restoring confidence in the domestic currency may take many years of sound policies. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/007 606 $aMonetary policy$zLatin America 606 $aCurrency question$zLatin America 606 $aBanks and Banking$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aMoney and Monetary Policy$2imf 606 $aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General$2imf 606 $aPortfolio Choice$2imf 606 $aInvestment Decisions$2imf 606 $aFinancial Institutions and Services: General$2imf 606 $aMonetary Systems$2imf 606 $aStandards$2imf 606 $aRegimes$2imf 606 $aGovernment and the Monetary System$2imf 606 $aPayment Systems$2imf 606 $aBanks$2imf 606 $aDepository Institutions$2imf 606 $aMicro Finance Institutions$2imf 606 $aMortgages$2imf 606 $aDevelopment Planning and Policy: Trade Policy$2imf 606 $aFactor Movement$2imf 606 $aForeign Exchange Policy$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aMonetary economics$2imf 606 $aBanking$2imf 606 $aCurrency$2imf 606 $aForeign exchange$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aCurrencies$2imf 606 $aDollarization$2imf 606 $aBank deposits$2imf 606 $aExchange rate policy$2imf 606 $aMoney$2imf 606 $aMonetary policy$2imf 606 $aFinancial services$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aBanks and banking$2imf 607 $aBrazil$2imf 615 0$aMonetary policy 615 0$aCurrency question 615 7$aBanks and Banking 615 7$aForeign Exchange 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aMoney and Monetary Policy 615 7$aMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: General 615 7$aPortfolio Choice 615 7$aInvestment Decisions 615 7$aFinancial Institutions and Services: General 615 7$aMonetary Systems 615 7$aStandards 615 7$aRegimes 615 7$aGovernment and the Monetary System 615 7$aPayment Systems 615 7$aBanks 615 7$aDepository Institutions 615 7$aMicro Finance Institutions 615 7$aMortgages 615 7$aDevelopment Planning and Policy: Trade Policy 615 7$aFactor Movement 615 7$aForeign Exchange Policy 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aMonetary economics 615 7$aBanking 615 7$aCurrency 615 7$aForeign exchange 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aCurrencies 615 7$aDollarization 615 7$aBank deposits 615 7$aExchange rate policy 615 7$aMoney 615 7$aMonetary policy 615 7$aFinancial services 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aBanks and banking 700 $aRennhack$b Robert$01462072 701 $aNozaki$b Masahiro$01462073 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788519703321 996 $aFinancial Dollarization in Latin America$93670920 997 $aUNINA
