Țara care se pregătește să folosească din nou propria monedă după 35 de ani de dependență de dolarul american

Somalia is preparing to reintroduce the Somali shilling after 35 years, aiming to regain monetary sovereignty amid ongoing challenges. The Central Bank has advanced its plans, addressing a long-standing monetary crisis that began in 1991. The country faces pressure from the al-Shabaab group and reduced international support, making the reform urgent. Somalia's economy has been heavily dollarized, with counterfeit notes widespread and the local currency in poor condition. The government is prioritizing the issuance of new banknotes, but convincing the public to use the national currency remains a challenge. The situation is further complicated by diminishing U.S. support for Somalia's stabilization efforts.
