Referred to as unofficial dollarization in literature, this is a worldwide phenomenon among developing countries and has a long history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis monograph provides a political economic analysis of dollarization in Georgia and is structured around three themes: the genesis of dollarization (1991–2003), the persistence of dollarization (2003–12) and the politicization of dollarization (2012–19). The case of Georgia is especially representative of the post-socialist transition states, but also has wider applicability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA high level of dollarization is a significant barrier to economic growth, macroeconomic and political stability, functional monetary policy, as well as social welfare.
