Book excerpt: The Cato Institute, a public policy research foundation in Washington, D.C., presents an article entitled "Official Dollarization: Current Experiences and Issues," by Zeljko Bogetic. The article was published in the Fall 2000 issue of "The Cato Journal." The author discusses dollarization, a portfolio shift away from domestic currency to foreign currency to fulfill the main functions of money. The worldwide trend toward greater regional integration is promising for full dollarization, because it reduces the perceived loss of national sovereignty from adopting a foreign currency.
