Abstract
A major part of rebuilding a nation’s economy in the aftermath of conflict is the creation of a viable, credible, and sustainable currency system that will lead to macroeconomic stability. Emerging nations have three major options in setting their currency: 1. Adopting a foreign currency such as the dollar for all official transactions 2. Continuing with the currency currently in circulation, often the currency of an adversary 3. Creating a national currency
